Nice idea on the adaptor.It's often too easy to get stuck looking at a tree and not the forest.

I would SO love to spend some time in Sherlines back room with some of their engineers. So many little things that could be upgraded and improved at no cost.
Was using the turning tool to mark the bearings in order to provide a starting point for the hacksaw?How did you account for the width of the hacksaw?

Exactly. It gave an indent for the blade to ride in without skating. The width was not critical, I filed them smooth and to width. The tool mark was about the width of the blade, which was dumb luck.

It is always by design.I have two many rules at work:1) First see if the bug can be made a feature.2) Answer all why questions with 'by design'.

My first real boat (a wonderful 12' Whitehall row/sailboat, built by Shew and Burnham in Maine), was named 'Dumb Luck'.And on the one project we did with Java as the main engine, we called everything a 'Java bug, we can't fix that'.
all ran nice and smooth
