You're a natural born genius. I men to horseback that whole set-up - and have it all work perfectly- is nothing short of pure genius.
That is one great project you put together there; nice work. [thumbzup]
No kidding that's a nice job. I mean that set-up is completely excellent; outstanding.
I can't even imagine all the mental gymnastics it must have taken to figure the placement of all the components so that nothing gets tangled up in something else.
Wow. That is a real fine piece of...
I tell you what, if I had myself a metalworking shop with a milling machine like THAT, i think I'd be thinking in (heavy) steel for every problem I could find!

Have you given any thought to using something like the roller hardware used for boat trailers?
I'm wondering if going that route might be cheaper and easier. What do you think?
