Manual clutch for small engine

I copied the design from a picture in a 100 year old drag saw maintenance manual, and scaled it to work on a 1/2" diameter shaft. The clutch works amazingly well, but I was afraid to scale it down any farther (all of my small engines have 3/8" diameter output shafts) because I doubted to my ability to make the required small pieces. I will be posting a download link of the plans on the model engine forums I attend if anyone would care to make this clutch. The working principle of this clutch is a flat piece of friction material trapped between two flat steel plates, not unlike an automotive clutch. One of the steel plates is fixed to the powered shaft, the other plate moves in and puts pressure against the friction material, thus squeezing it between the two steel plates and transferring the torque from one steel disc to another.---Brian Rupnow
