    Hi Xavier. What you want is something with less work to get the RPM down than what I went through. What I would say to you is, get yourself an old rotisserie motor off of a barbecue. You can find some that work on 110 volt and some that are battery operated. You can run a battery operated one...

    Thank you all so much for your kind remarks. They are very much appreciated. I had a whim that turned in to a day dream, and so I built it. Sometimes I spend years thinking about building this sort of thing and collecting parts and pieces and drawing sketches. In fact, I have been planning...

    Well here I am. At long last, I have completed my PBL. Seems like a month of Sundays, but who's counting? I sure had fun with this model. I have 2 videos to share as well.

    Thanks, Colton. It sounds like you have a perfect application for what I call a "Waffle Wheel". It's akin to the cam wheel but has a slight difference. Cam wheels are designed to work more than one arm and the cams are attached one at a time in accordance with the motion required. A waffle wheel...

    Animated Peanut Butter Lid Diorama

    Hello there. It's been a bit since I posted what I am doing at my bench. I figure I should post what I am up to with regards to my PBL attempt. I'm sorry if this turns out to be a bit long winded, but I am a terrible editor and don't know what to leave out. I'm not sure if you know this, but I...
