Hello,

I promised to explain how to build a roller. Only now I found time for
that. I will provide the general information and the rest can be seen
in the detailed drawing which I made (click for hand drawing or for a
CAD schematic).

The main material of the system is stainless steel. You will be able
to find almost completely ready parts at junk yards.

Excellent CAD drawings
