Well, for me, right now, welding isn't an option.

The timing pulleys are iron, but they're offset from the sprocket by several inches; and the design wouldn't work without some serious changes if they were any closer.

The sprocket does butt up against another wheel, but that wheel is to be fabricated from polycarbonate sheet, and thus - no welding.

Give me a few more weeks, and I should know for sure if this all works like it's supposed to. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to redesign a simpler drive mechanism before January.
