Added Brakes!

I have added pictures of the rollers and brakes that I have added to the bed of my power wrapper.
The wheels allow me to roll the wrapper past my work station.
The brakes allow me to lock the wrapper in position, when working on a particular guide.
The brakes are a simple bolt that is threaded through the base of the wrapper with an aluminum knob on top and a rubber chair tip on the head of the bolt to provide the braking action on the lathe bed.
