horner Active member Jun 3, 2011 #1 Built it for $320. Wayyyy better than a drylin slider, bearings are the way to go. It will slide from one end to the other with a small tap. It is 24" long, perfect size I think. If anyone is interested in where I got the parts from, PM me.

TijmenDal Active member Jun 3, 2011 #3 That looks sick! For that price you could probably start up your own company...

eheath Active member Staff member Jun 3, 2011 #9 So did you just put a rod through the middle of the bearing? did you take the inside ring out? im trying to figure out what you did.

TijmenDal Active member Jun 4, 2011 #12 That's what I instantly thought of, it's only 40$ more, little longer too though. 7" longer. It's the question which one works better!
