Casters

The base is starting to take shape I turned the drill press into a wood lathe to make the bearing spacers and end caps. The new base is stronger than the first and much lighter. The outer race of the bearings will be held in place with epoxy to remove the alignment problems of the first base. The first caster is only missing the encoder. For reference the axle bolt goes in the other way to make fitting the encoder easier
