If so, I think you've...

Great modification, Rahn! I think two outriggers are too little for longer trailers. As far as I can tell, they work fine on the shorter ones like mine though. Galloping down the road, especially on...

Rahn, I know what you mean about power tools. I had a kickback one time on my table saw, (because I wasn't using the riving knife). The piece hit my hand and it was really painful! I'm glad it wasn't...

97towlite, I'm sure a pulley COULD be printed, but I'm concerned the bearing would need to be added and without it, I doubt the pulley would work particularly well. Treeclimber posted a thread...

Rahn - Janet just got back to me and she's authorized the upload of the 3D printer files. However, there may be an issue if they're too large.

Wow! What beautiful work! And, I'm impressed with the trick of using tape between dissimilar metals. Wish I'd thought of that! Amazing how obvious that is once I see it done.

Those look great, Rahn! I don't think you'll need to worry about the guide blocks causing damage to the rail mounting and, if they're made of carbon fiber, they should be much more durable. I also...
