still working out the tracking buggs, but works pretty good now. biggest thing is keeping the tracking wheel pefectly square when you build it then you will have no trouble at all.

got the grinder broke in now and very very dirty! lol

thanks!

now that is Awesoem looking Barlow! What's something like that cost if you don't mind me asking?

lol thanks a lot, it was a challenge and I wish I had more time to do a few more things, but I will get to that stuff later. That's the greatest part of the build, you can make it do what ever you want and keep building on it.
