Still working on it. :frown: Summer came and so did my progress.
Installed a pool for the kids. Working on extending the deck to the pool, etc.
My wife and I thought only the kids were going to enjoy the pool. With the heat we have been getting all summer long, both of us enjoy it as much as the kids. 
Can't wait till the cold weather hits. May be then I can finish up my conversion.
I have plans for machining 316SS (hope the machine can take it), so the higher torque at the lower RPMs is more attractive to me. Maybe I will find another use for the 2HP Leeson I have.
I hope the motor serves you well.
Regards,
Chris
