The primary arms attach the cylinder/frame assembly to the secondary arms, which support it. They also attach to the plate which holds the recently pressed bricks, and the support plate which prevents the dirt in the drawer from falling out of it.

Tools Required

Hole punch with 13/16" and 3/4" dies

Materials Required

  • 2 pieces 72" long - 4"x6"x3/8" angle steel

Fabrication Steps

Warning.png Warning: These steps below are suspected to be out of date and inconsistent with the current iteration. Please see the talk page. Please remove this warning only when the steps described below are verified as current.

Punch the 3/4" holes and then the 13/16" holes.

  • The holes are all to be punched in the 4" side of the angle iron, in 1 1/4" from the edge of it.
  • The 3/4" holes are located 2" and 70" from one end of the angle iron. The two arms will be mirror images of one another. (These holes are slightly smaller than the others to minimize play between the primary and secondary arms, preventing extra vibrations on the frame.)
  • The 13/16" hole centers are located at 15", 31", 37", 39 5/8", 48 3/8", 53", and 64" from one end of the angle iron.  Make the two arms mirror images of one another.
