Time is a bit of a factor as it seems we never have much free time here but this is not an emergency so I will probably start buying parts. The feeder is the only thing I think I'll have a bit of a problem manufacturing, unless, it did say it was wood or plastic. That I can do but I would think it would need to be aluminum or steel which I do not have a lathe for that, only wood or plastic.
    I bought a chunk of delrin off of eBay and used that. Wood would work as well, I would think. Definitely no need for it to be metal.

    I checked prices on Delrin, some is quite expensive but did find a supplier about 1/2 the cost that was on ebay, but who knows what shipping is. My dad and brother work with bullet resistant plastic for banks but the sheet good, I don't think I've seen any over 1-1/2", the Delrin is available in 2" at a descent cost. Does it mill on a lathe and drill like normal plastic or does it have some qualities that make it hard to work with because of hardness?

    If you've got access to a mill, it'll be a snap. Very easy to machine.
