That's super cool. Totally get the "I want to do it myself idea" over buying a spider. I guess spiders and chainrings are a very reasonable starting point to get into it. Would love to see more explorations in the future!
Chainrings are definitely a much more complex part, although I imagine there is far more documentation on how to make them. I run a narrow/wide ring which I imagine would be quite interesting. If it breaks I will fix it!
