It is still mostly conceptual, so some things are missing from the model, and very few things are close to a finalized version. I think a cantilevered shaft that is attached to multiple layers of the main frame or through one of the vertical tubes would work best. But ideas change all the time as the concept progresses.

Good example: looking at the image I just posted, it occurs to me that bronze bushing would be much more suited for this mechanism than ball bearings.
