I will try to post pictures tomorrow, I have the frame started and the drum cut out and drilled.   Just did the shaft, made two just in case something is wrong with the length.  I am going to go put it on the lathe right now to true it up.

I got the fingers directly from Herrick Kimball's website.  If I recall, the minimum number from Kent is more than you need for one plucker.  Kimball sends you the exact number you'll need.  Since they are virtually indestructable, you'll just be wasting space and money getting extra. 

Also, as I think about it, and as a word of warning- my Whizbang pic wasn't taken in the offseason.  Anyone thinking of brooding Cornish X's indoors should be warned.  That fine dust will cover EVERYTHING in your house if you do!  And then there's the smell...

I got the pulley right from Kimball.  It's amazing how hard it is to find one that size, and when you do, how expensive they are!  I didn't need an idler arm, the size of my barrel/belt was exactly right.
