Excellent! Can you show more details of the rotating parts container?

An old induction motor pillar drill i haven't  used for 25 years. No reverse but five speed, the slowest is more than adequate at around 450 rpm. The induction motor keeps it pretty quiet  . Its a pp  container inside a container in case of a leak, but it hasnt up to now.

No problem, its quite basic more of a trial run to see if it was doable. I will be refining it at some point, was bored this afternoon so just used some bits and pieces i had in the shed and kitchen cupboards. It needs some kind of parts basket that i have yet to source but preferably make.
