Steve,
	First, I must correct myself, I ment a stainless steel drive sprocket.
Second, I was thinking about using two flange bearings, mounted on two seperate
sheets of lexan, opposite each other of course. And, building a box around this
with scraps of lexan. And Last, I was going to attach this assembly to a 3500
RPM DC motor with a peice of Rubber hose, using two hose clamps. The drive shaft
will be 3/8" dia. The two stationary electrodes will be TIG welding rods/tip etc.
