Great job, very simplistic in a complicated kind of way.

Have you considered inserting a smaller bearing inside the ones that are used has wheel's so it can actually roll?

You have lot's of talent dude

There is a member here that have biuld mini machines using bolts and such like you. Don't know his name so you can see them.

PS: Do you know that your user name "penca" is a slang word in Puerto Rico for palm tree leaves?

Edit: Taking a second look are the parts welded to the inside so it can roll?

 

[penca]

hey ccd they roll ! they`re welded only to the inner race so they are free to roll, not super smooth because they are salvaged from some bike i had in the past but they roll, if i find a really little bearing i`ll try next time, i think the front bearing was a 6009 maybe a 608 would fit in i`ll check, like the idea!.
so palm tree leaves, nice to know!.. in south america is a cactus plant, i crashed in an off road race there, rode with the plant attached for like 200 miles...

KMinAF thanks for the compliment, the construction took some time but the planning man...

Cool... I want one.

Those are awesome. I've got a couple of 6204, I think, bearings if you need them.

 

[Arps]

Thats pretty cool. Any plans to sell them?

 

[penca]

hi guys thanks again for your comments!

softailgarage glad you liked

tas, thanks man i really appreciate but the shipping would cost more than making them out of platinum, but thanks man it was a super nice offer.

arps, thanks for the compliment it would be nice to make some bucks this way right? for now they are works of love for "my" children maybe in the future who knows
