Got to thinking, I guess having multiple bearings side to side to
increase the width would not be a good idea?

The "little" english wheel with the 1.5" bearings for rollers was
made out of a "vice grip" and it is used for making things like
fairings for aircraft windsheilds and other small parts from aluminum,
copper, and brass.


Nice idea, I use a trim hammer and shot bag for small stuff. May just
build a baby wheel to try out.
