I ended up making the platform for the gas torch instead... A bit more work yet but it is looking OK so far.

Thats all looking really good Dave - So how are you going to finish it, Engine turned, anodised, polished or natural?
Now you just need a little clicky gizmo the racks up a counter as they drop down the hole.

Sounds like your body is telling you to have a rest.
Hope you feel better soon.

Those look like neat motors, especially with the integrated gearbox. Were they expensive?

Two including delivery for GBP19.00. They are 24vDC 10RPM one for the turning station and one for the drive, they are available from 600RPM down to 6RPM with a good spread of output speeds in-between. I am impressed with the build quality as well as the price, they are put together very nicely and ideal for little projects like this.
EDIT - They were from eBlag, look for
37mm 24V DC 10RPM Gear Box Motor

Just checked, they were actually GBP19.00 for the two plus GBP4.50 for the two posted, so GBP23.50 total.
