Two more 3/4" ID sheaves are on the way. If my home brew engineering works as planned, this will be a nice painting rotating fixture.  I have decided to build the working height at least belly button high or higher to facilitate seeing better during the actual paint application process.

Update: I now have all of the 3/4" pillow-block bearings and the 3/4" round bar shafting needed for the drive and axles.  The sheaves have not arrived yet, but shortly.  If the weather settles down I will get out and cut the angle needed to form the framework over the next few days.  Who knows of a good source from which to buy 1/2" V belts at varying lengths?

I have received (4 ea) 3/4" X 2-1/4" sheaves.  I am getting closer to having all the parts needed to build the paint turning gizmo.

I need two more sheaves and the variable speed electric drive motor and I will be ready to assemble into a two axle rotating paint fixture.  I am anxious to be able to do a much more professional paint job on wheels without bare spots as well as the drips and drools possible on a stationary piece.
