Again, appreciate the comments. The plans URL I'll post. Project is moving along. Band sawed the shape out last night an will drill the holes for the pivot point today and further refine the shape. I'm waiting on the knurl wheels to size the placement of the holes for the shoulder bolts. Plan on using some brass tube as a bearing service for the knurling wheels . I only have a 8 x 16 grizzle vs lathe and a smalI HF. Mill. So cutting steel is possible with tooling , but more than I have at present. I know some are saying why waste the time with improper material as I can buy a complete sissor knurled for $40. Hey, I'm a hobbist, newly retired and learning as I go. Have done advanced wood working also as a hobby for years, but added the metal working machines just recently . Got the time,ambition but lack the skill of many professionals on this board. That's the beauty of this communication board great comments and steerage. Tom
