Speed Reducer for Drying Device

[rbertalotto]

Here is a quick little video on a device I built this morning to turn lathe turned items while two part epoxy is drying.....

Those things are handy. My son and I as a father/son project made some fishing poles when he was in high school. I made a similar device that I powered with a drill. Crude but worked. I recently needed to dry some epoxy on a part I had in the lathe that I didn't want to remove. So ran the lathe at low speed 28 rpm until the epoxy went off. Making one again is on my project list (towards the bottom) because I need to replace the guides on one of the poles we made.
