PSG#1 From Scratch

Hello everyone!
I wasn't planning on posting anything until I was a little further along on my build, but Maxi sounded so damn lonesome, well I just had to. This is from a guy who can't cut a straight line on a piece of wood let alone all these metal bits. I used 1" x 1/4" aluminum for the changer fingers and 16 gauge sheet metal for the raise and lower parts. I just received the bearings on Thursday. They are 1/8" ID X 3/8" OD X 5/32" Thick. I'm trying to find some 3/16" tubular rivets to join the raise and lower portions at the pivot point. For now I have aluminum rivets just to hold things in place.
Hopefully, this will get things started here on the site and others will post what and were they are with their builds. By the way Maxi, looking good and hope to see more from you.
