Default Rod turner motor

I've been looking for a rotisserie motor to make a rod turner.
Got a suggestion this AM. Use an electric can opener motor.

Go to Home Depot. They sell rotisserie motors for under $20.

If you look in the washing machine on your front poorch there is a
synchronous timing motor in it. They turn about 3 RPM and work great
for turning rods. That is for drying the varnish.There not strong
enough for winding thread ( which you don't need anyway).
They look like:

One of the coolest rod turners I have seen or heard of used water. A
friend used a circle of ethafoam with two plastic plates stapled to
each side. In between were small plastic cups the kind they give you
for medicine. There was a hole in the center of the ethafoam for the
rod handle.
For "bearings" he started out using some ice cube trays and scotch 33
tape around the rod shaft. He had a kitchen sink with a faucet high
enough to let the water drip into the cups and slowly turn the thing.
I have always wanted to make one just to test the stability of the
domestic tranquillity. It should be possible here in Oregon to use the
rain to run one. It doesn't get cold enough to kill all the bugs so the
guide finishings could have some interesting decorations.
Now, how did you know I have a washer on my front porch? How did you know I
HAVE a front porch?

That is one of the coolest things I've read on ROFF in a long time. It's
the solution to the challenge: Build a rod turner with available
materials for a cost of $0.00.

The essence of the solution is the source of power.

Steal your neighbor's washer off his front porch?
By the way, those washer timer motors are the component of choice for IED
(improvise explosive devices) timers in Iraq. Start buying 'em up and you
gonna have the FBI and BATF doing a Ruby Ridge on your butt.

What's in the shed Lionel?

Microwave ovens have a useful little motor ... mains power though.

A friend powers a windscreen wiper motor mounted on a timber frame
with an old 12v dc plugpak.
(Some series resistance may be required to limit RPMs - we used,
keeping the car theme,
a 12v 5w tail light)


Steve (why can't you find a good rheostat when you need one?)
