Superb stuff, inspired so I am.
Bought my bar today, got two pieces, one for sort of the same as your build, it's rather longer @ 60", also got another @ 40" for a flat lap, the bars are 25 mm, was surprised as they only cost me the equal to $18, the threading cost me $5 and a bottle of vino.
Now for the pillow blocks, looking to get them here in Spain, will  be much cheaper than from the UK, where they are $10 each + shipping, I reckon about $8 a piece, my amigo is on the case, will post pics when it's looking like a machine.
Still looking for flat grinding pads for hand work.
This blog is superb, the info is second to none.
Thanks from the cave.
Keith.
