I dig it Brent. Kinda funny and not too dangerous.

You selling them?

 

[Sport666]

Brent what are you doing posting pics of your creation. Give it a week and fleabay will be selling them.

i could have used one of my routers with speed reducer on it

but i figured that $10 cordless was worthy of such a hi-tech setup

my wife doesnt know, YET, that i confiscated her cordless:grin:

It looks pretty good. lol

You need to re-arrange the clamps and drill location so you can replace the battery without having to diss-assemble and re-assemble the whole thing.

I don't think that battery will last until your motor gets there.:smile:

Hey Brent,

Improvisation and creativity go hand and hand.

You've proved that need is the mother of invention and that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Nicely done with imagination and elan. Bravo...

Brent,

Your color blindness has not stopped you from producing some of the of those beautiful butterfly designs.

Colorblindness precludes one from obtaining a pilots licence because of depth perception issues as well as other limitations. Jack Nicklus the greatest golfer was color blind and he was able to over come depth perception issues pretty well.
