So today, i spent the day attaching the stepping motor to the paddle in the cereal dispenser in the University of Sheffield’s makerspace, otherwise known as the iForge.

First, I used a laser cutter to cut two 70mm diameter circle from some scrap wood. Using a pillar drill, I drilled four 4.8mm holes into each of the circlular wood pieces. One more hole was drilled in the centre of one piece of circular wood for the stepper motor to be inserted into. 

Using hot glue, I then attached the handle that I had hacksawed the day before and let it set. 

The two circular pieces of wood were then bolted together back to back.
