Neither of these squares are thick enough.

I would like them to be 1" thick, so they can rest along the guide rail with the guide rail set at a 3/4" height.

I have already expressed my opinions on storage and height. Both are very personal decisions and I understand both especially "for me". As for twist in the tubes between the Base Arm Assembly and the Headrest, there will be none if you are careful when you assemble the unit - provided you...

With the design you have can the headstock move all the way to the left without interference? Can't tell from the sketch but if it can't I would change it so it possible, there are plenty of reasons to have it way over there. From the drawing you are doing this for a 500 but if you have plans or th...

Dusty,

I'll trust your measurements are correct. I haven't actually made the measurement myself except in rough terms.

I have three objectives 1. Storage, 2. I want to make sure there is no twist to the frame from the floor of my garage. and 3. reduce the height.
