spoonpluggergino Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 After reading a bunch of really good information summitted by other TU members, Idecided to build one with dowel pins, that I seen here on TU MATERIAL PURCHSED 1 Rotisserie motor kit 1 4 feet by 2 inch dowel pin 2 4 feet by 5/8 inch dowel pin 4 Metal brackets 1 small tube epoxy 1 small tube wood glue Nuts, bolts and screws The rotisserie kit had enough hardware to build the turner. I used the two bushing to mount on end of 2 inch pin to couple to motoe shaft The 1/4 metal stock that came i cut pieces to go from pin to motor couple I took enough picture so you can see how is built. I will try to put them in sequence The center of the pin I found it by drawing a circle with a compass on a piece of card board, than trasfered to pin The center for the 5/8 pins I set the 2 inch pin in a cradle I centered wood bit in the V groove first than clamped down wood blocks The 90 degree second hole used a spirit hole to level first pin to give me the 90 degree to the first hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Good solutions to the problems. I like the circle centre template idea. The end stop made me smile too, simple but effective. An engineering mind at work. Thanks for posting. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
