update: The glue is set and seems rather sturdy(I did a couple of really fast sample spins on a bamboo stake to see if the crank would hold up). Right now the whole wheel's in the oven @ 250° farenheit. I used some sculpey to try and make the bump on the back of the wheel nice and sturdy. Why I did this instead of just cutting off the bump is beyond me, but I did so oh well, will wait and see(might just cut it off after it bakes and use the clay piece for a nick-nack.

Next I have to sand the crank to perfectly or as close to perfectly as possible; round, for a nice smooth spin. I'm scared I didn't leave the ends long enough, will find out by this time tomorrow or sooner :).
