    Found this thread while looking for some bender ideas. In order to begin work on mine, I did some estimating of sizes from Marv's images. I shared them here for anyone who may be interested. They may not be exact, but should be close.

    This hole layout is not an actual Archimedean Spiral. It is simply a geometric construction for a set of holes varying in distance from a center point.
    It is to scale so if you print it so the main circle is 2 1/2", the rest will be correct.

    Just beginning the project, will provide details on the completed project in a new post at a later date.

    I wanted to give credit to Marv for the inspiration.

    Yes, both illustrations now show inline in the article. Thanks for the fix and good work deriving the dimensions.
