      After getting my first MP3 player and headphones that allow me to hear traffic, I have become addicted to listening to Big Finish Doctor Who audio books while I walk.

      Anyone ever have an idea and then your heart sinks because you worry you might actually be insane enough to try it?

      I found this circle cutting jig for a router; it works beautifully! It does both inside and outside dimensions, so it can be used for the neck rings.

      Ah that's probably why then 😁

      I've found a good picture of the connector on Micks Dalek - have to zoom in a lot, but it's pretty much at a right angle, and enough detail to get a good photoscale.   Using a barrel width of 38.1mm, the connector hole appears to be ~19mm - so a 3/4" BSP connector should be bang on.   The one on Micks Dalek is also neatly flush with the back of the tube.

      Just spotted this while searching the forums for some inspirations from other builders. This is so cool! If I was on the show's production team, I would be calling you and asking to borrow her!
