Well I have had all I can stand so I progressed a bit on the mounting of the Steppers & power supply (see attached pics)

I tried to give plenty of room for cooling and running wires, have to place the vent fans and IO cables & cut them in.
The last of my order (I hope) will be here by weeks end.
I get my stitches out Friday at 10:30 YESSSSSSSSSSSS then I am going to try getting this wired and checked out so I can move on to the motor mounts.

You are making progress from a health and hobby perspective. Good for you. I found the wiring portion of my conversion to be the most difficult but the most rewarding. I've learned a lot about electricity but still leaning on other forum members to help me fix my mistakes.

Good luck with your build.

Thanks Tom
I have been reading and learning how the circuits work with one and another and finally have a grasp of whats going on now so it should come easier wiring this bundle of boards together (I hope).

It's a little difficult to tell if everything is wired correctly, but I don't see any glaring errors.

I followed the above instructions & went pin by pin on the BOB & steppers.
Jumps4 (Steve) has the same components, the one thing I have not set on all the drivers is the switches. I will get back to the shop today and go trough all the wiring & switch settings just to make sure.

Its Alive!!!!!!!
Tested all the components & they all work as they should, now to get it mounted into the panel and hang on the wall.
Then on to making motor mounts etc.
Can not thank you enough Steve & all the rest for getting me this far Lot of telephone support
And what Jumps4 said about understanding what as going on with the interaction of all the parts was a real aha!!! moment after getting it moving
