Nice work Charles, hopefully I can get down to see it soon.
Meanwhile....
I've added a new half bearing to my slip roller.
The lower cranked roller only has a 1/2 bearing under it for support, and nothing on top, which allows dirt and crap to get in.
So I made a couple of patterns out of some machinable wax I had left over from an experiment/experience.![IMG_6369_zps436ee005.jpg IMG_6369_zps436ee005.jpg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/42/42682-86ef066038998fdaed39b3bb47eaa9a3.jpg)
Then I cast them in tap brass.
Cleaned up. ![IMG_6389_zpsec5a68ab.jpg IMG_6389_zpsec5a68ab.jpg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/42/42683-b2baa2dc041d01e78c392f49ea5dfa23.jpg)
A little bit of hand fitting and I'm a happy camper.
