Hi Longy,
Yeah, I have a couple of strips of wood that help flip the part and increase the internal chaos...
Not that there's much internal chaos going on at the mo - the weedy motor finally released it's magic smoke and ceased to turn forever more...
So the search continues for a small quiet motor that likes to run continuously and is strong enough to turn the barrel. I've found replacement Thumler motors available in the States for around $25-30, double that once p&p+duty get charged on top. Quite honestly I'm thinking to myself - just buy one of these:
3lb Barrelling Machine | UKGE
So much for DIY - totally does my nut in that I'm unable to buy (easily and on these shores) a small AC or DC motor up to the job at a reasonable price..!
Bah!
Wal.
