Hi Paul!

Here's a couple pics of the acrylic damper assem mockup. Presently, the
original 6.9" diameter for the damper section looks to be a little too
small when using the 1/2x1x7/8 blocks, as there is conflict with the large
washer ring. The image shows the blocks standing on their 7/8 side, instead
of the one inch side, and it's still a bit too large.

What do you suggest is the next step?

Looking good Ed.

The shaft project has run into a snag. I need to get the material back.
Michael that owns all those big lathes was forced to get a full time
job to pay the bills. He just was not getting enough biz to keep the
doors open. I'll see if I can get in touch with him tomorrow after
his work. I may be able to cut them to length with a carbide chop
saw I have. Jim thinks he can do it with his lathe. Just not as fast
as Michael.
