That sucks. Hope you feel better soon.

I just bought a pair of CABoots. On their website they said that they will be making them again in late spring. Yay!

No way does it make you look like a fool. These are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to film these.

Someone suggested putting a tapered wire brush on a dremel and scrubbing it off. I haven't tried that yet. Sounds promising.

Chemistry in action! Thanks for the tip. That's awesome.

It's beautiful thing to be young and durable.

That's what I did. I soldered to one positive battery terminal on the back side of the board and and then the negative directly to the copper on the board. I think I'm going to put a drop of hot glue on there to keep the wires from breaking off.

That's great! You guys did a great job getting that together. Thanks!

Windy! I just saw a cow fly past the front window!

That's cool Chuck. I'd like to order a speeder bike with the magic levitation feature.

That's pretty cool. 32 cm. Yeah, I did build the little one. I bet it wasn't even 20 cm. At the time I scratch built a little speeder that I attached with a wire. Looked like it was wrapping a cable around the legs. Now I want to build another one.

Sold! Thanks.

that might have been a good angle to shoot. The large area is the negative. I scraped off the emulsion with an exacto to clear a spot to solder. The tiny trace is the far left peg of the positive terminal. Looks like I'm going to have to clean up those connections. I don't think their gonna last. Last time I let my monkey use the soldering iron.

Ok here are the big guns. I thought I would see if anybody was interested in these before I threw them up on EBay. Size 13 DanH2O boots. Never trooped in, Only worn briefly around the house. I paid $60 for them. They're yours for just $45 shipped in the USA. If you are abroad I'll have to check rates. ------- You know what they say, "Big feet, big hands." "Big boots, big gloves."

Nice.

That sure brings back memories. I think I built that kit in 1981. Nice work.

Here's mine, I cut off the battery contact portion of the circuit board and soldered a 9V clip on connector. It made it a little more compact. Shortened the mic cable and replaced the single speaker with a couple of Hovi sized speakers. I shortened a couple of film canisters with a hole cut in the bottom to add a little air space behind the speakers and insulate them from the mic. Works great! With full volume I have no feedback. Forgive the inside of the helmet. It's a work in progress. ---------- ---------

Well I scored a vintage Major Matt Mason action figure for $3.00 and a really nice $1200 vacuum pump for $60.

A good option is swiping the pads from a youth baseball helmet from walmart. They make it nice and comfy as well as snug. They are easily trimmed for a custom fit.

If you're having problems with support why not make a hybrid belt? My canvas belt has a 2 inch nylon belt inside and an ABS strip reinforcement at the holster attachment. You could easily wrap a leather belt with canvas and sew the edges as another option. Everything I've seen in the reference is canvas.

Looking awesome Andy! Love that helmet.

I have a feeling that it is going to become a cult classic. Patience young Padawan.
