It should be a fairly simple matter to make a shaft/pulley assembly and fit a chuck from a battery/hand-held drill, although you'd need to allow extra room for fitting.
Hmmm... I'm glad you've brought it up... methinks I'd better source all these components before I continue building the base, so I can fit the base to the components and not waste time trying to source components to fit the base! :rolleyes:
