Is this something that i should let the repair shop fix?

That depends on the machine. A lot of machines are easy enough to fix at home with a few adjustments.

I'm getting ready to order a deck. Love that idea! thanks!

I would love to tear into that thing and see what makes it tick. I just don't want to give the company a reason to void the warranty. However I'm having a Tim Allen moment and thinking what if I rebuild the motor for a little lot more power. I know it has metal gears and not plastic. should beable to handle it. Hehehehe, not really...however I may open it up and see if I can figure out the timing.

Making adjustments like this won't void the warranty. Have you looked through the manual for the machine, btw? Might help ya out some

That is not true. As long as you spend 3 or more hours cussing and trying to do it without the manual first, you'll be immune to the eye burn.

Trust me I know.

After the before mentioned time of cursing and stomping has passed and you resort to the manual, take it to the toilet to read it, men comprehend better there and you do not want yourwife to know how to use one!

Dropped off the machine today to be fixed. Guy ask what in the world I was doing to make it jump out of time like that. Of course I said that my wife was sewing her silk stockings, hehehe. He said that they have been selling that brand of machine since 1994 and this was only the 5 machine that has had this problem. Guess I don't know my own strength :


purchased a skateboard deck today for $12 from a small local skate shop. It was a warranty job that was just laying in the back. I love the shape and I think this whole idea rocks.
nice kick up on the ends

removing the friction whatever its called

Cut it in two and found out that I won't be able to take it back to natural. Every layer has been stained red :'(

Figured what the hell I'll practice...
removed all the glue from the top and gave it some shape.

Gave it a coat of black paint...just because. I really didn't care and didn't even prep it other than sand it some. Don't look at the big ole run in the paint ;D

Sanded it to distress it. Then drilld mounting holes. The distressed edges make it look uneven however it is actually pretty even

A couple of differnt angles

(before it was distressed)

Glad I did this even if it was just dickin around. I'm now looking for a used natural skateboard deck. Anyone have a junk one laying around?? ;D

Looks cool Troy. Not what I was expecting you to do. I dig it.

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

Thanks man. Keep in mind this is not the finished seat. My plans were to take a maple wood deck and cut it in a simular shape. sand it and cover it in clear marine grade poly then add padded strips covered with leather held on with brass rivits.
Also I still have the other end which is longer and could do a 2 up...

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

I envisioned you cutting the board to follow the lines of the frame rails, from the tank back to the welded in support with the kick up at the end. Kinda sorta like a bratstyle seat. Pickin' up what im puttin' down?

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

Yep I gottch man. I was planning on doing a couple of different versions. That is actually one of them but this one for some reason ended up being first. Stay tuned ;D

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

Gotcha.

Re: 360 beat the clock update 04/07/10

Wish I had more time because I might have found a way to help support my habit. Knowing I couldn't use the seat with the natural color of the wood exposed I decided to cover it with leather. It has two layers of leather and five layers of terry cloth. I think it turned out sweet

Ok now put the damn thing on the bike so we can see it! I'm drunk but I know it will be better to see what it looks like on the bike. I will give feedback once on BTC.


Cheers,
