I had this idea for a couple of years and finally got around to building it. It will hold as many as I can stand to epoxy. They are held with elastics "twisted" so they don't move, and the lid keeps the dust out. Works great.

UGH! I just spent a week and about 100 bucks (not counting the motor) building one that looks pathetic and much less efficent in comparison to yours.

Nice, very nice. More plugs for you to share with us interlopers

that thing looks as good as a $20,000.00 industrial moulder

ProfessorM · 02-01-2009, 06:46 PM

Impressive! Matches the rest of the cave. Looks like your getting around alright.

Awesome.
Do you have to keep the plugs evenly balanced to elmitate the flop.I have found if i go direct to the motor I have to balance the plugs on my round spinner.And it's only 17 inches in diameter.The gears in them slow motors have just enough play in them the wheel wants to flop if I don't balance the plugs..When they flop I end up with uneven spots in the finish.
Plus I think that by spinning em horizontally I got a better smoother finish.I notice yours are spinning in a vertical fashion.
Do you noitce any build up on the ends of the plugs..
Get your self some springs.Attach them to your hooks make some "S" hooks out of scrap wire.Leave one end open to attach the plugs to the spinner.This is a tricky procedure.You want to make it as simple as possible to eliminate the drops...

Looks great! Question for you. I just got a motor off a kitchen set up to cook chickens. I think that the motor may turn a little fast. What's you opinion on the best range for rpms?

Geeez George you aren't having much luck. Flap must have the voodoo doll out again. I'll still take one

.
I am firing mine up today. Haven't used it since last year and I am using sys. 3 clear coat.

Say a prayer for me.

I'm a pro at fixing screw-ups. Besides, the first batch made it. I'll be OK. Just wish NIB had invented a better way to do things.

That could happen......I got a bunch I sealed with compressor oil that I'm trying to salvage. The thing is so unstable, however, I'm not sure you can retrieve it slow enough with a big spinner.

I think I can manage.. I'll just pop it like a pencil..

Nice spinner, although it looks like you could put a few more hooks in there. Really nice job on the whole thing.
