The most difficult part of making the whole thing is the front fork foot
that holds the free wheel bearings. I used a 3D printer part but I don't
like it. If you can find one for sale, you can get that fork ready made
from a drift trike. You also need the free wheel hub that can be driven
from outside of the fork (unlike a normal bicycle free wheel hub). 

That freewheel hub is the bear of the project. I have thought about it for
a very LONG time with no good solution. 

Anybody who doesn't already have free will hubs would be better off buying
the drift trike parts, the fork and the freewheel hub parts.

Employing a 3D printer, you can make a cup-shaped part super glued to the
fork, the precisely same diameter as the fork, to produce a brace that
makes attaching the aluminum drill holder pieces a piece of cake. 

Using that 3D printed brace, getting the drill holder pieces lined up was
easy this time. 

It's less gaudy now, with two pieces of 1" aluminum flat bar instead of
one big 2" aluminum flat bar, sticking out from the fork. 

There is no alignment problem, no need for a flexible shaft. 

I tested it out front without even securing the drill to the flat bar
pieces. Just a little spring tension between the two sides. The drill
twisted a little when full throttle was applied, but it all stayed in
place WITHOUT even being secured to the aluminum pieces. 

It will be secured with some temporary materials that can be cut away for
removal/servicing, before it is used normally. 

Make sure to deface the drill if it's a namebrand, so thieves will not be
interested! 

> Not sure if power shaft can still be flexible to transfer high torque 

That and the extra weight. Same thing with a right angle drill. There are
some monster drills from DeWalt and Milwaukee, but, besides the fact it
requires a right angle gear, those drills are too big and heavy. The
ordinary right angle drill from DeWalt is not powerful enough. 

Bozo is a textbook cannibal leftist, it loves destruction. It loves
trolling and promoting other trolls. 


No point in discussing anything with Bill "Bozo" Sloman, the Australian 
troll. Bozo is an incessant liar who cannot be reasoned with. Its fiction 
never ends. 

"the user has posted under the same name in other places, so not 
nym-shifting" (Bozo sucks at logic) 

"the Mueller investigation was about Trump only because Trump made it so" 
(Bozo being Bozo) 

"the concepts "male" and "female" are essentially social constructions" 
(Bozo is a textbook cannibal leftist)

Always Wrong is wrongly attributing a forgery/copy of my ID, to me. 

I have quite a following... Including Edward Hernandez, Always Wrong,
Corvid, and Bozo. 

If I could prevent those stalker trolls from seeing my posts or replying 
to my posts, I would solve their (apparent) problems in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, mutual blocking is not an option. 

I did not reply to my original post. Willful ignorance is the way of this
reactionary foulmouthed group idiot...

And yet, the clueless Troll Doe has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on
Mon, 20 Jun 2022 23:00:24 -0000 (UTC) in message-id
<t8qu67$u6p$5@dont-email.me>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that Troll Doe does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.

  Same posting host for both.  That cannot be forged.

  Not you?  Who is your Usenet service provider?

  John Dope lies again.

Added a pic of the new drill holder part.

Anybody who makes one should somehow find a drift trike fork and
freewheel. That is the most difficult part of the project.

I'd give that five MacGyver points...
