      Yrs. The jockey wheel is about four cheap roller bearings on a long bolt, bolted onto a length of flat steel bar. The other end is screw to the block of wood that supports the counter shaft. It is all looks very crude, but it is effective. The belt firm the motor to the counter shaft is simply taut and has no tensioner. It never slips.

        I tried out a recycled cordless drill motor which worked OK but I didn't like the aesthetics of it.

        Out of interest what did you use as a power source in that setup?
