Hi Ray!

You can post these pics if you like.  I'm experimenting
with a cheap way to make hexapods for hobby experiments
(mostly for motion studies, rather than real machining).

The screw is 1" dia 5 TPI acme.   The upper clear tube is the
"spin tube" which is spun by a motor, and swung (but prevented
from turning) by a U-joint.  The acme screw hangs lower,
and another U-joint joins it to the mobile platform.
