Nickyg, the penultimate letter of your Jumping 29 should be in the second row. If it isn’t, you may have misplaced the latter part of your Trapdoor 4

Thanks very much. I’m going to have to start again with a clean grid I think. At least I have all the answers now!

I'd like to echo gitto at 64 in expressing my admiration at this magnificent piece of work. Some brilliant, very tough clues and outstanding construction. Once I'd finished it still took me half an hour to double check everything.

I liked 19: Sausage commonest for tubby fisherman (6), it was the last one I got because although I knew what the answer must be, I couldn't parse it.

Chapeau to Sabre.

Thanks Quisling (@48): all solved now.

I would like to add my awe to the accumulated respect that Sabre has earned for this extraordinary puzzle. My pal Lath and I have nudged each other to its astonishing conclusion and have learned a lot in the process. Every step has provided more delight. It is surely an unsurpassable feat of setting which yielded levels of complexity and amazement that deserve the highest possible plaudits. Chapeau Sabre. We are much obliged

Having arrived late to this one, I hope someone is still monitoring this thread!
I have all the various messages and completed the final instruction. However I still have a few clues to solve.
Trapdoor 27
Spinning 20dn
Jumping 10 and 26 (previous hint didn't help!)
Any nudges gratefully accepted!
Thanks in advance.

I have Trapdoor 27 now.

And now 20dn.
So just 10 and 26 please!

Lewap, Jumping 10 definition is 'Chicago drinks station'. Two 3-letter words.
26 def. is 'marked fly-by-night' (4-4)

Made it to the finish! Can’t believe I didn’t spot the final result of the endgame earlier. Thanks for the gentle help on the way…
