If you do decide to try it there are several diagrams on the web that show the length, thickness, bolt hole places and where to notch each board. I'd be interested to see how it works out for you.
Replied to your PM regarding the pulley btw also.

A friend ended up *giving* me a table saw, so I figure I should at least try cutting the channels for one board and see how it goes. It's a cheaper saw from Harbor Freight, I think the brand is Chicago Electric. My friend didn't like it because the fence was not very well constructed, but I might be able to remedy that with a clamp. We'll see. There's a guy named GMC Paul who posted all the dimensions on his website, so I'll be working from that. Will take pics as I go.
