Hell...it even has the disks for the impeller

... and it's perfectly balanced
I've thought that; I have an old hard drive dismantled from where I take out the magnet of the head assembly. Unfortunately the motor electronics are located on the drive pcb, and it only spins for 5 seconds without the head.

Nico!, how does it work?, the epox will go all around the outside of the wooden mold?...
It's amazing stuff all right, I never knew it could be used like you've shown us, opened up a whole new area...

nevermind, that was a work in progress pic, it lacks the outer shape.
I'm using slow curing epoxi, the one used for fibers impregnation for reinforced plastics. It's a lot more fluid than adhessive tipe, allows a good work time, it's absolutely waterproof, and I buy it by the Kg.
For the mold I'm using soft cardboard, painted with errr unmoldant? "desmoldante" in spanish.
