Working on making a new set of rollers
I'm not sure if I can make a set of rollers from scratch, but I went to a fabrication convention last week. Before I left I went to the florid capitol building where I have a friend in security and X-rayed a pair of rollers. Did not do much good (the brass and iron look the same) but it was fun.
