Circular Sock Knitting Machine - European simplifications

Still in progress

I was too lazy to look for 6mm rod so I modified that to 8 mm. Now I could make whole construction with one size of the rod.

• Yarn Stand Guide modified for 8mm rod
  Brass bushings for the pivot and brake were made of a 4mm brass tube from Hornbach, which needs to be pressed inside with a vise. A 3mm hardened rod was used for the axis.
• Yarn Stand Base modified for 8mm rod
• Yarn Stand Weight scaled for 8mm rod
• The bearing housing and crank axis are parts of my lame version of the table. I'm using M8 screw with a hex head as the main crank axis. Rotation is stoped on one side by a hex cap and by a cap with a nut with drilled and tapped hole for the M3 screw.
