Hello again everyone,
I've not updated this thread in a long time so I wanted to give you an update on the situation and the reasons behind my disappearance.
As I had mentionned In an earlier post, my workshop is rather small and becoming extremely cramped with my machines and tools. I absolutely need to move to a bigger space before I continue expanding.
Earlier this year, I was expecting to buy a house from a farmer that retired. The house came together with stables, of which I was expecting to transform one into a bigger workshop, move there and enjoy the extra space for expending and specificaly for installing my dear robot friend.
However, nothing went according to plan. Indeed, a very fortunate man, whose castle overlooks the farm has decided to buy it to prevent anyone from beeing able to alter the beautiful view from his castle's terrace (no I'm not kidding). He met me and my family (we are farmers) and told us he was the one who would get the deal no matter the cost, and if we made him loose money he would make sure to hit back.
Therefore I had to retract my offer...
As things stand now, I don't really have any prospect of acquiring a new space for my workshop other than building one. Which would take at least a year to a acquire the permit for plus the time to build it, etc. Therefore I had to put the robot aside as I don't have any space to put it to use in the near future.
I'd like to thank you all, and specifically give a huge, huge thank you to kwakisaki for his support in this project. Whenever I'm able to find or build a bigger workshop for myself, I'll start working on the robot immediately, as this has been the most fun and rewarding project I've worked on until now (I can't communicate strongly enough the joy of having the remote in hand and the feeling of childish joy it provided me when moving the robot. I felt like a kid playing for the first time with his new toy on christmas day, as well as the awe when seeing the incredible possibilities on kwakisaki's YT channel).
Sadly this will be it for this thread for a while, I wish you all great end-of-year holidays and I can't wait to start this project again !
