Jared,

One more question for you. Was there any specific reason for using brass and steel for the lower rollers? I am about to start making those parts and not sure what to use or why. In think I can see using steel for the shafts but I was going to use aluminum for the rollers as well as the drivers and big rollers. I think the aluminum is cheaper than brass but I'm not sure, I do know I have more aluminum stock on hand than I do brass.

If I get a but more done here I guess I could start a build thread of my own?

I sure would like to see you get back on yours!

Thanks

Jim
