Very interesting.
Needs a motor cover me thinks.

I just had to come back and add that it would have 3 speeds for use. LOL

WOW!!! Great imagination. Proves that nothing is impossible. (Oops, better be careful saying that. Have you ever tried to milk a cow with a 4inch crescent???)

Congratulations.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

That is different. Points for creativity.

That is way too cool! I bought a wooden jointer at a garage sale once. It had working infeed and outfeed ways and everything…wonder where I put that…

Add a light dimmer switch and you have a variable speed lathe :)

Put a sanding disk on the other motor and you could make a sharpening system. It should work well for chisels and plane blades.

Neat idea, proof you are only limited by your imagination.

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

Excellent re-purposing. Way too many motors get thrown out that could easily be reporposed.

I like it! Great use of old ‘junk’ (no more!).
