What is this all about?

I have been asked by several friends to make a blog about the diffident hobbies and technical things I think about, come across, and create for a hobby and the stage. If you have something you would like me to build or explore please let me know. I am always looking for new ideas.

Turntable Motor

For Christmas Carol we needed to make a new motor for the 20' turntable. This was what I made for it.

Turntable Motor

The cage is welded out of 1”x1” 12 gauge square tube and reinforced with 1/8” steel plate. The motor is a three phase three horse with a thirty to one gear reducer. On the front end, there is a chain tensioner capable of removing 8” of slack from the system. The control unit is a Creative Conners system. This easily ran a 20’ revolve with 20 actors for Christmas Carol.
