OK then, (A) is there a timetable for when he plans on having such a
fixture ready? and (B) Do you have drawings for the fixture that you intend
to give to him? Or do you need help with the design?  Yes, in this case,
I'm offering mechanical fixture design help if needed.

I've been on the mailing list since May of 2017 and I don't recall seeing
any direct calls for help in that department.  Not saying that you haven't,
but I'm just saying that although I've read all the posts and all of the
updates since that date, I've not seen a call for help in that area,
because if I did, I probably would have stepped up and volunteered.  New
people join all the time, and even more people lurk, so consider asking
again.
