Yikes. Gloves while belt sanding. Might want to reconsider that.

When in absence of a lathe (which is rare), I like to use a drill press or even cordless drill.

But yes, a lot can be done with basic tools. Nice work.

ok, I'll never complain about my old South Bend again!

3 shafts turned down to 1/4" on one end....

I'm guessing two for attaching endless pots via surgical tubing and drive, and the 3rd for the arm...

Who said it wasn't a spare? :DWe know Beach'Bot tricks too well...

Last year, one of the mentors who was in a machine shop class at El Camino College did those on a lathe. 30 minutes, two parts, no tired mentor.:D
