Dave that is utterly gorgeous. I've decided to have another go at building one. Wish me luck.

That's a reasonable enough price, Richard, but after speaking with RS (as much help as a fart in a spacesuit!) and the manufacturer, it seems that particular type of cutter is made for a magnetic drill, and won't fit in a standard drill press. unless you remove the chuck and replace it with an arbor...

me too. and find one at all. might have to settle for round bar cross shafts. humph!

Will, You were very Lucky. I can't find one for love nor money at the moment.
Like hens teeth dipped in rocking horse manure.....

a majority of steels use a 1/2 inch 13tpi thread. not sure if emmons follows that.

totally gorgeous Pat.
I'm starting my own build now, and contemplating round bar vs Square. Round provides less manufacturing problems. how do you find it?

There are no hard and fast rules, really. You can make your pedal board any size you want. I've seen solid wooden ones, and aluminium channel ones. Tube would be different for sure. Try a one inch diameter. Might look beefy enough, without being overbearing. How are you attaching the pedals?

Thanks Robert.
