Keep up the terrific work everyone.

I like the Bishop Wisecarver "Dual V" grooved bearings running on 1/4"
diameter hardened rod. If you route or saw a groove just over 1/8" deep and
just under 1/4" wide in heavy aluminum bar or rectangular tube you can press
the rod into the aluminum. I've made several sets of linear bearings this way
now and it works quite nicely..
