I still think the additional "upper rail support" might be needed to
keep the whole thing vertical and steady, and I like the idea of
fatter posts for those too, so having the posts protrude up through
the carriage pipes might be a necessity. The whole thing could be
short enough that you could just slice a couple sections out of the
larger tube. The small tube would only have to be tall enough to
handle a PCB plus the bit and Dremel nose section. The Dremel itself
could extend up past the whole rig, and you could just stack plywood/
hardboard "shim" plates to get the table height from the base for
different bit lengths.
I just mailed someone who might have car stuff laying around. If she
has something good, I may try it over the next few days. I'm not
really familiar with shock parts, but if that large (1"?) outer tube
I've seen has a tight fit to the smaller one on the main visible body,
it would be perfect (and thanks again for the suggestion).
