Jager,
I must appologize, we seem to have "highjacked" your thread - sorry.

As I have stated in other threads, I have been watching these forums/threads for some time, I have just recently decided to participate (via some sage advice from a young friend of mine). Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome.

Based on the photos from chapter on "fitting to the circle" in Venter's book, I may now have a fix for couple of doubles that have given me trouble and were put aside. Inletting a block of steel in the circle of the action, may just solve the problems. It will be a bit before I can try it, as I have two doubles that I am building and other repair work in the shop, but if it works out, I will let folks know. Might also be another chapter for the 3rd Edition of the book (God forbid that I have to go though all that again - would just prefer a re-print, but too much information comes up between printings). 3rd edition looks like it may be almost twice the volume of the 2nd edition - may never get it done. Sorry - I digress...... So much fun...so little time to enjoy it.....
