I wonder whether the words "CUT OFF" that appeared in the message had something to do with his quick response ? !!

Woot! (don't know where that expression came from, but it sounds like something a Western European backpacker might say)
I am looking forward to seeing your build progress. All the best with the Authoritah.

Go Chris. Looking forward to your thoughts on finally getting the machine into your workshop, and your plans from here. Is it as good as you expected? Can we expect pics and a build log? Have you got all the jobs around the house out of the way?
Enjoy, we are all envious,

Holy cr*p Chris, we've got 6 pages in this thread already and you haven't even put anything together.
Appreciate the pictures, though. Keep 'em coming,
