Rollin', rollin', rollin...

I'm attempting to replace brass rod and tube rollers with nylon rollers. They are larger, but easier to deal with. I've never enjoyed cutting brass rods or tubes. I don't mind sawing lengths of 1/4" wood dowels, however.

I install nylon washers on either side of the roller. I used Krazy Glue to attach the washers to the roller creating a nice spindle. It rolls nice and quietly as it opens and closes the jaw.

I also have a nylon roller set-up for the eyebrow-raising gizmo. It's located near the top of the head.
