Constructing the Legs
The legs, feet, and motor shaft mounts will be created using 1/4-
inch 1/4-inch aluminum square stock. Start by fabricating two
motor output shaft mounts according to the dimensions shown in
Figure 6.25. The two parts are identified as N and O. When the
pieces are finished, thread a 6/32-inch 1/4-inch machine screw
into the hole that has been threaded with a 6/32-inch tap. Figure
6.26 shows a completed motor shaft mount.
