Didn't get a chance to mess with this over the weekend besides collecting some parts, but made some progress today. Gonna go a different route than the pics you sent Mike, I don't really have enough room or scrap wood to build a longer bed so for now I'm building something similar to this picture but I'll have two separate supports and a motor on a stand. The beds about 2-1/2' long and the supports to hold the rod are 7" high off the bed.. Haven't assembled it all yet but I'll take pictures and post when it's completed.

Kinda ran outta steam on this project. It's on the back burner for now, as I'm working on a few batches of plugs for fall. This is as far as I got with it, still have to gather some parts.
