Mike, Chris and Dan...Thanks for the response. I did give it a rest Dan. I went back down a little whileago and gave it another shot and everything just fell in place. I tried itagain and everything just lined up and sort of fell in place. I have no ideawhat the issue was before, other than when trying to set it up by yourself yousort of feel like one armed paper hanger. I had so many clamps and braces justto make up for the lack of another pair of hands. I now have anchored the fore and aft guide on the left side and then tried theright side again. This side also lined up as it should. Both sides are now jiggedand ready to cut the test legs. My hats are off to everyone who did the straight axle gear set ups before you publishedyour directions Chris. I don't know if I would have been smart enoughto figure it out without a lot of help. I have been sweating doing the gear fora while now. I think the worst is now behind me. The sad part is that I was hoping to get the gear pretty well done this weekend.That was until the drive belts on my table saw decided to give up the ghost..I probably wont have replacements for another week.Richard Schreiberlmforge(at)earthlink.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wedgies, wedges, gussets, elephants on ribs, puking,etc.
