Wonderful idea, one question, You have four sectors is 1 at the .250 inch mark, 1 at the .500 inch mark, 1 at the .750 inch mark and the forth at 1 inch marks. A very nice build and I think I can put it on one of the corners of my welding table. It would take a lot to move it.
Thank you Tuomas

I am metric guy.

I used 16mm axle. I placed holes increasing leght of radius with 2 x axle diameter = 32mm that's somewhat 1 1/2" First hole is 64mm from the centerpoint. About 2 1/2"
