You definately put some serious effort into that.  It's my fault I assume people know what I am talking about.  I'm gonna attach a pic of what I had in mind.  A lot of these things I have in my shop so I would have fun putting these together.  I can't exactly put a cost on it because I buy in bulk.  Just a ballpark I figure under $10 a piece.  Twll me what you think.

I just watched AQs last video and he said the left side is where the "drive" comes from.
The Right was just to break teh wall.

I thought I got the general idea of how it was working, but after he said that I am lost.
I am total noob to this stuff, can some one splain me in simple terms so even an idiot (me) can understand?

well,. the original idea as propossed by @Exx,  was to use a rod bend into a square. I decided to go with 4x 1-inch rod segments, inserted into 1/2" x1/2" wooden squares - as corner-blocks.

Close.

I wanted allthread w/ welded nuts or nuts embedded in epoxy @ 90.

But you built it man, and it looks TIGHT! (very good)

EDIT

it is NOT cost effective!!  - at least from a production standpoint.  The materials to build one of these linear-bearings is MUCH GREATER cost than the materials to build an industry standard linear bearing.
HOWEVER - the RETAIL PRICE of linear bearings is MORE than what i paid to construct these things...

Ain't free enterprise grand?

Still trying to wrap my mind around that one.......
AND - these im building are more efficient (less friction).  So, for a builder using off-the-shelf products, this can be more cost effective. However, if we were mass producing these wheels in a factory - It would be very expensive in comparison to buying industry standard linear bearings in bulk.

And to imagine , this wonderful bearing design was just handed to me by a guy that's almost as stoned as I am....  who would have thought?

You are still too kind.

Thank you sir.

Dude!

Exactly the ticket!
(I said something about the elbows/90s before, but the nipples are great ghetto ingenuity!)

Aces!

P.S. Keep posting!
