I bought 2 of
these for the bearings.
This for the primary shaft. And
this for a variable speed pulley on the drum's primary shaft.
I got a v belt for 8 bucks at the auto parts store. Then the motor. I started with the re-purposed circular saw motor, but I'll end up using an old drier motor from the scrap yard which I got for 12 bucks.
The rest was scrap from the back yard. 2, 2 foot sections of a 4x4. Some planks to serve as the base. Some particle board for the height adjustable table. A couple door hinges for the table. And a bolt for the height adjustment.
Total cost was about 75 bucks.
