Motor motor motor...

This electric motor I have to build for physics is driving me nuts. I just spent an hour or so on it awhile ago to fix some problems. I'm tired of all the crap I have to do to fix this and make it work..
.. Though I say that, it seems my motor finally turns! Well, it turns half-way, because it hits a little "bearing". Unfortunately, one side of my armature is a bit longer than the other; it's uneven. Thus, the measurements are off.
I don't know if I should widen the metal bearing or fix the armature. Needless to say, I'm TIRED of messing with the armature, but it's probably the most doable for me. I don't know... I don't want to uncoil and recoil the copper wire again..
I hate how much trial and error this project has been for me. I learned a lot, but I hate it.
And I'm still not quite done with it.
