So, after watching Ray's demo, I decided that I wanted to make myself a dubbing machine. I looked around the web for inspiration and to see what others had done... I wasn't sure what I'd end up with, but loaded with a bunch of ideas, I headed off to the thrift store to see if they had an old pair of rollerblades, since the only bearings I could find in my shop were a 3/4" set from the jackshaft of a minibike I made for my daughter years ago.
No luck on the rollerblades, but I did spot an old erector set knockoff ("steel-tek"). It would have originally made a dragster, but three tires were missing, and it looks like a dog chewed on some of the pieces... but it had everything I needed.
The end result:
The table folds down...
The one wheel that came with the set:
(the cup hook is the only thing that came from outside)
I'm sure it will need more modifications as I use it more; I've made one already: the hook on the non-rotating side (shown in the first photo) wouldn't hold the wire initially, so I got rid of it and build a different wirecatcher.
All for the grand sum of three bucks -- and there are plenty of pieces left!
(sorry for the crummy photography and cluttered desk!)
