thats awesome!!! I never thought about doing that...till now and my brain is running wild from it....keep up the great work guys!!!
and remember what may not work for you dosen't mean you cant use the idea to make it work in a different situation or slightly modified, or lead to more ideas and applications. That's evolution!!!
These large diameter centers are invaluable as the OP stated
Here is a variation that I made sometime back it is 3 1/2" in diameter
