If this comes out right the first picture is the plywood disc glued and screwed to the pulley. After running for several hours the disc came unglued so I drilled and tapped the pulley.
The second picture is another view of the pulley and disc. 
This next picture shows the screws counter sunk through the Velcro. 
I included a picture of the single screw that keeps the bucket from turning. 
I had to put tape on the lid to keep it on. I found this out when I went to check on the beads and the beads were all over the floor. 
I included a picture of the beads after a 80 grit,120 grit and 220 grit. 
The last picture shows the beads with a beeswax and orange oil Polish. This only took about a minute. The polish pad rubbed the inside of my bucket and probably will melt it. I’ll keep on experimenting. Jeff

I like it. What are you using the beads for?

I’m planning on letting my wife and daughter use them for jewelry.

They are beautiful!
Look like stones found on the beach.
Cool idea.
Best thoughts,

It works good on small square or close to square scraps. You can’t overload it or they slide under the weight.
