Been working on this in my spare time. I finally got the blade finished. The hardest part was finding a suitable roller. The roller is made from the guts of three old shocks from my truck. This is one of those i think i can projects lol. I haven't finished but it worked so i couldn't wait to post a few pics. I still need to do some tinkering and adjusting and will add an oak base to it to be bolted down lol.

Very clever, Chuck.:specool: A couple of questions, I assume the two long bolts are for height adjustment and the two pairs of bolts are for back/forth adjustment? How are the two pairs tightened as they appear to be in slots and I don't see any nuts, and how is the blade attached to the top plate?

Edit:just noticed the two bolts on the back are for back/forth adjustment? But I still don't see how the two pairs of bolts are attached to the slotted pieces?

Thank you. the two long bolts are for height /thickness. the two bolts on the back are for setting the blade fore or aft of top center via the angle piece, it sets behind the blade.   the two pairs on top hold the top plate and blade in place they aren't in slots in the top plate it is for holding the blade in place the blade is slotted underneath to allow for adjustment fore and aft. Under the roller shaft are two more bolts with springs under them in holes in the wood they add tension upward  to the roller they also have a nut on each so the tension is adjustable also.
