No, if you tell yourself that you can't then you can't. Can't never tried, and if you do not try no matter what it is you will not succeed. Life is a learning process an when we put restrictions on ourselves it just hinder our learning that we can do anything we put our brain to. Within reason, of course. Sometimes we create our limitations.

In other words -
If you think you can't, you're probably right.

With those and a foundry capability, I don't suppose there is any limit on how much larger a machine I could make. I doubt you have even the limitations I've got, as I've seen some of what you've already done! ;)
