Default Re: A home brewed conveyor

I made a belt today - 2 layers of heavy cotton cloth (much like denim) sewn together and a third layer where I made packets across for pieces of wood deck to fit in. Then sewed it all up nice. My cuts and sewing are a little crocker at times

For a motor I was using an old AC 1/20 hp from an air brush setup I got at a garage sale - pump was shot - but it was too small. Now I'm trying a 1/15hp and larger pulley but it's still weak. I think a Gear reduction would be best. But I'm trying to have it running for Indy.
