    Hi

    I got a crabcycle update. I scanned in lots more pictures of how it
    was made. Also added a cost breakdown. Scanning it in, I was still
    amazed at Tom Miller's work. For those who dont know... Tom Miller has
    been making quality custom unicycles for years.

    A month ago I was able to idle and juggle briefly on it. Sorry no new
    videos. Also I switched the mechanism the other day and I was back to
    holding the fence desparately with both hands. For now though its back
    in the "Go West" position. I want to get a little better at juggling
    on it first.

    That is some construction project, tools I've only dreamed of using.
    Thanks for providing all those steps, it is interesting how all those
    parts were made to fit together. That gearbox looks simple from the
    outside, but it's built like a watch on the inside.

    I really like the Macro pictures of the machines.

    Now if only I can get VLC player to play the .mov files.

    It just stopped... gotta fix it.

    Tom Miller is quite the machinist. I think he can make just about
    anything we want, if he puts his mind to it. Thanks for posting all
    those pictures, it really helps us appreciate the amount of work that
    goes into a custom unicycle!

    For the videos, try Quicktime. It's the default on my Mac so no
    problem, but it's also free for the PC so it should work.
