Again, my open tracker knock-off's, what is it they say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"? What can I say, I like John's idea's, I have to say though that I could never make any money at it, these things take alot of time... Anyways, here is my attempt at roller perches, enjoy... and as usual feel free to point out any glaring potential failure points...
Repro perches to start with:
Cut out the binding (is that a feature) shaft:
To the drill press and hole saw:
More bearing sleeves from the lathe:
Shafts, decided to use snap rings on both sides, not sure how John does it):
Test fit & tack:
Weld with the sacrificial set of bearings (from the UCA's):
Paint & Assemble:
