What do you mean by the belts not lining up?

And yeah, I took a bit of inspiration from 192

I had the reductions written down somewhere but I think it's something like 10:1 and 20:1.
For your second stage pulleys, they are constrained in rotation by the hex bore. Let's say you accidentally broach one so that the tip of the hex lines up with a groove, and the one next to it such that the flat of the hex lines up with a groove.
At this point the two pulleys do not perfectly match up in their rotations. This wouldn't be a problem, only for their mating pulleys you have the same problem- the teeth may not match up.
This means that you could face some major indexing issues that would screw up the meshes on at least 1 pulley at a time.
The way to fix that would be to use a jig to align the pulleys before broaching/machining.
