A drive pulley for the turns

Since I had sooooo much trouble driving the turns I made, I had to think of other options.  I realized that it might work to take the idea of a super-glue arbor for the lathe, and anchor the pulley to part with super glue.

Anyhow, I turned a very small pulley from 1/4" brass rod.

Here it is attached to the part with a tiny drop of super glue, viewed under the microscope and mounted in the turns.

It's still quite difficult to operate, but seems much less troublesome.

I added an electric motor drive that seems to make it easier to use.  I guess it's now a lathe...
