Lurker no more Nick.

seems you really need to get started. It's not too difficult. I brazed
mine with borrowed Oxy gear and had to teach my self how. I've built
six bents now and none have fallen apart yet.

You will really enjoy a recumbent once you get past the learning stage
and get your "bent" legs.

All the best. Hope we hear of some progress soon.
