English Wheel DIY.

I figured we aught to have a thread just for these - I didn't see one so I started one. Probably good to lump Full sized E wheels and bench-top styles together here.
Go.
I stopped by Awful Freight the other day to take some measurements of their E-wheel for reference in building my own bench top version and what I saw raises some questions.
The lower anvil post and mechanism seems to have a lot of play until pressure is applied, and then the anvil walks. Is this acceptable in practice? I'm gonna try to post a video (Ohhhh look out) which shows what I mean. And perhaps after I'll post links to some of the well known DIY E-wheel sites and videos I'm relying upon.
