    I attach to the metal. I never considered attaching a stylus above, always thought about it in the same plane very interesting. The only difficulty I had when I used to use this method was keeping the motion slow and steady. If I use a foot pedal this would be much easier to do as I will have two free hands.

    Now I'm curious if mine can't be made even better. It sounds like you have a real pantograph, which was my original goal, but as always I have several projects, so each one only gets enough attention to be good enough, but not what I really wanted

    Looks real functional. The addition of a foot switch would really help free up a hand and make it much easier.

    I need to add one of the old fashion speed regulators that they used on the first gas engines. Basically they had a weight on two pieces of metal that formed a triangle. As the speed increased, the weight would go out and make the base of the triangle smaller. As the speed decreased it would use a spring to make the base wider. I need to gear something up that will put on a brake as the speed increases. At the moment I put a thumb on one of the wheels to keep the speed sort of regulated.
