    roller spring perches: every tip & trick from my years of making them

    18 years ago I made my first set of roller spring perches.  Since then I have made hundreds more and have come up with a lot of tips and tricks to simplify the fabrication process.  I am no longer making them but wanted to share my experience so you could make them as easily as possible.

    Would be great in the Tips and How To forum

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Great video Day. I can see that the mod is rather labor intensive - that's why I got mine from Opentracker years ago. But thanks for posting so those brave individuals who want to, can try their hand at it.
