The motor is a 105 rpm motor I had laying around. Its about a perfect speed for turning. I'm not spraying the clear, I'm using raka epoxy and ceramithane, which I'm applying with a foam brush. Feel free to copy or use any of this design, I just kinda winged it and saw if it worked. Lol. I made the pulleys out of delrin and they are secured with a 1/4 20 set screw to the aluminum shafts. The belts are cheap vacuum cleaner belts from walmart, they cost me less than $5 for 4 of them. The bearing blocks were cheap ones from ebay, as well as the drill chucks. I had the aluminum rod, which I had to shave about 30 thousandths off to fit in the bearing blocks. I used a standard 1/2 20 die to thread the rods, which you can get at about any hardware store. The tail stock rods are just more 1/2 aluminum rods that I cut a point on to make them centers. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Its not fancy, just effective. Lol. I'm guessing I have around $200 in this setup, give or take.
