Wow John, this is a neat wheel! A transmission to kick it out of gear too, way cool stuff. Strap the kids on good though so they don't fall off.

I am a bit confused though as to why you'd take it to a surgery room to take a picture of it, LOL. Where's all your clutter man?

Nice work.

Those Surfsters are really good looking. I know a guy who'd like to Ho one from you. What do they weigh when completed, and what are you targeting with them?

The Ringer is a novel approach to lure turning.
