Made a little more progress. Anyone recognize it yet? Steve, you don't count.

Is this going to be a machined piece or a cast one?
Eric

That is up to castmaster Wes.

Good job Eric, You get the most observant award. I'm drawing it up as original then I will go back and try to bling it up. I have to get a way to post video :-\ It seems real simple to make an runs very well. I bid on some cotton covered magnet wire on Ebay a couple nights ago but it closed WAY over my budget. Anyone know of a source for this stuff?

An inexpensive source for magnet wire would be gobrushless.com. 22, 24 & 28 ga wire for winding small brushless motors for RC planes. (also a nice model engineering project...)

Here's the url for the 24 ga wire 1/4 pound for $7.00 plus shipping - and you get the choice of 3 colors. 26ga is 8.49
