Jan 8, 2012
Again using builders board i construct a base unit measuring 30cm by 45 cm with 4 uprights of m12 threaded bar to carry the tower structure. The nuts on the base are dome headed and act as feet the head is a 30cm garden ornament from a garden centre with a 11cm hole in the bottom to allow access for the head roller. The toroid is a 45mm piece of vacuum cleaner hose glued in a circle and covered with builders resin that has been sanded. any questions feel free to ask
