In this video we are upcycling an old washing machine and making a multi purpose rotary machine that can do green sand mulling, rotary welding, 360 degree photography, and act as a potters wheel.

The machine we make uses an Arduino PID closed loop motor control system to govern the speed of the universal washing machine motor. You can watch the video on that specifically here:    • How to reuse Washing Machine Motors [...  

In this part we mainly focus on the frame of the machine and making a rotating table. We use the old washing machine bearings and spider but mount them on top. A laminated scrap plywood platter is made to act as the rotary table.

In other videos in this series we will add the control panel and closed loop Arduino speed system, a microwave timer, the sand bucket and ploughs to make the green sand muller.

The rotary recording table for 360 degree photography will require slow consistent speed and a plane white backdrop.

To make it work as a Rotary welding table we will have to add a metal plate and an earthing slip ring (not sure on the details of how I will do this - any tips welcome).
Here's Luckygen1001's video on about the green sand mixer I mentioned:    • Sand mixer and mixing sand
