Step 9Making the "Brushes"
At this point, you're going to need to attach the circular piece of wood to the underside of the base plate by drilling the two holes for the screws to go through, but you're also going to need to drill the other two holes for the wires to go through.
Once this is done, you need to use fiberglass tape to coat the small cylinder that stick out from the bottom, take one of the wires coming from the heating element and tape it over the fiberglass tape using conductive tape. Make sure you go all the way around the little "stub" multiple times so that it will not wear off.
Now, take the other wire coming off of the heating element and tape it in the middle of the piece of wood using more conductive tape. You will now need to make a circle of conductive tape over the bottom edge of the piece of wood, and then tape from the circle of conductive tape to wherever you taped the wire to the wood.
Now you have your "wire pads" that the brushes will touch when the center piece is spinning.
