I don't think it is a matter of whether we think you can make one as I believe you could. Just not sure how the pvc is for food grade?

pvc carries drinking water, so i just figured.... :givemebeer:

PVC, CPVC, PEX, and Other Plastic Plumbing Materials:
Plastic plumbing has been used for potable and non-potable water applications since the 1950s. Initially, there were many concerns about these products potentially leaching harmful chemicals into the water. To ensure that the public's health was protected, independent standards were quickly developed which established strict guidelines for these products.]

Today, plastic plumbing products designed for potable water applications are usually designated with either "NSF-PW" or "NSF-61" to indicate that the product complies with the health effects requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for materials designed for contact with potable water. This standard also establishes similar guidelines for other plumbing materials, including copper tubing. If your pipe is not coded with one of these designations or if it is designated with an alternative code such "NSF-DWV," it is probably not meant for potable water applications and should not be used for such purposes.

I have found the holy grail of dough sheeter drawings. This shows how they are able to adjust the thickness of the dough, without worrying about the gears driving it. The roller is pinned off center, when you pull the lever one roller gets closer to the other roller, but the "center" shaft doesn't move. I'm excited.

I have never seen you get so excited by "offset shafts" before Gene. :drinkingcheers:

I have finished the PVC version of the manual dough sheeter, and I have moved on to a VIP, top shelf build. Please check it out.
