Nice craftsmanship!  That took some time...

If the center piece aloe is wide enough & shaped such that it blocks small parts from dropping down the camchain tunnel, that would be advantageous.

Indeed, the center-piece of the concept is sufficient for the purpose.

With proper tension adjustment, the chain is enabled to move freely with crankshaft rotation...in both directions! 

Thank you for noticing that detail, and ofering the suggestion!!!

Nice work, beyond my ability since I have sold all of my wood working equipment in the last few years.

I too...all but a few hand tools, sorry ​​​​at times to say.

But, if there's a will, then surely a way can be found.
