    Default Turner complete


    I posted in another thread that I was making a turner to keep the epoxy I'm using to coat the cranks I've been painting. There are other options but like so many of us, once I get an idea bouncing around in my head, there's only one way to get it out. A microwave table motor was just right for the motion, and a 2; piece of all thread for the shaft. A nylon bushing, switch and a few hours, nuts and bolts and a few rivets and here you go. I might change the clips at some point, or at least try some others. Total expense was less than $20 as a lot of the stuff I had laying around. I mounted it high so it wouldn't get bumped if I continued to work after setting it up. The wood on the windows is my answer to someone being seen checking out the window after dark. It wasn't hard to do, kinda fun fooling with it. Thanks for looking........Skeet.

    That's pretty neat. I wish I had that creativity.

    Looks like it will do a nice job keeping the paint even on your cranks.

    Cool, great job! I made mine with a motor a guy gave me that turns really slow, but forgot what it was for. Anyway it had a shaft sticking out and I stuck some foam on that and some clips and it works, bit would like to make it a little better, just have not needed it in a while.
