Started my Westminsters three weeks ago. I'm very much enjoying the process.

There is a build thread on the web somewhere by a guy who built a pair of Westminsters. The attention to detail and finish is staggering. Must find it.

Yes Puffin the very plans I am using.

Bit of a stretch apart from the translation, the guy has included old measurements as well as new computations.

Its abit of a muddle. Still i wouldn't be building them if it wasn't for him. Can't complain.

Hi daveskis seems like a great build, seems a bit bold though.

Excellent David, please keep the pictures of your progress coming!

One day I hope to build my own DIY cabs for some 15" MG's, and if you manage it, maybe I can manage the Westminsters too. I do have access to a commercial workshop with all the tools needed and the assistance of an artisan woodworking miracle worker!

I have had to re-think my woodworking skills. But I think the project is achievable by any part time handyman with a fair bit of application.
