Got a bit done today. Leveled the lathe first, or got it more level than it was, which helped reduce the taper on the turned part.
Then I made a camera boom similar to doubleboost's except... junkier. I'm still working out the problems.

But it still helped get some good angles for recording.

Finished the motor shaft after that. It's probably the most accurate thing i've produced yet, but that's not saying much.

Y'know I trapped my finger every single time I put the motor together. I was trying to prevent the thing from snapping closed when the rotors got near the magnets, but there's really nowhere good to hold on to and those magnets are helluva strong. No blood blisters though fortunately, but it still hurt!

To truly finish the shaft I need to put a keyway in for the gear. But, lacking a mill, i'm thinking about just carefully drilling a hole in and using a dowel pin to spline the gear to the shaft.
