Next the straps velcro towards the middle so they can keep away from the bars later first one

Then the other

Thats it folks

I hope some of you make them But give it a day or two as I am testing them properly this weekend so if you don't ever see me again you'll know the did'nt work

Any questions I will do my best to answer them

If you fit the cuff to your leg and then put your PJ's on it should give you an idea where to cut and drill the hoops but get it right first time or your'll curse yourself
as you pay PJ £18 for another one

Thanks for letting me use so much space Webmaster ( everyone says I'm long winded )

hi Jason

I went shopping for all the materials needed for these cuffs today

Will get started tomorrow - tell you how I get on.

The weather was really bad here today so no bocking for me but did you manage to give yours a proper go?

let us know!

thanks

Thats a relly clever idea

Jason · « **Reply #35 on:** May 13, 2007, 05:50:08 PM »

I gave them a good try over the last two days

First strangely I did'nt find that they make me sweat I wear full length knee/shin pads and allways sweat under them but the back of my legs were dry

Comfort is unbelievable I stood talking to someone and forgot I had them on

The best bit is they are so adjustable by moving the pad position on the cuff and straps you can shift your weight back of forward and by moving the bars you can shift it left and right
It's the first time I have felt really ballanced on them

I even managed to jump a couple of ditches at a run ( the new tyre socks helped as well lots of tread they even grip on wet grass ) and climbed up onto a 80cm hay bale for the first time without falling over

The bad news I was so enthusiastic I tweeked my back again O well I'll learn one day

but just imagine how much u would be saving by making your own pair

they are very good jason, though I can find only one problem with them, If you fall onto where your knee bar would be you would actually be falling on the plastic fasteners on your cuffs so you could damage them purty easily

Jason · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2007, 08:35:48 PM »

At 80p each and 10 mins to sew them on not to bad
I wear the cuffs over Pit Dirt kneepads but the cuffs are thin enough to wear the pads over.
Also you could move the buckles further round by just unvelcroing them
I might try that next time I wear them thanks Pro-jumpingboy good input

And cost I think the final pair cost me about £15-£20 all in

Lastly I've got mine now unless you can get to germany You can't buy them (maybe soon PJ will get them But I wanted them NOW )

Call me spoilt

Jason · « **Reply #44 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:36:50 PM »

And then get all the cash I make plus some taken off me through the courts when the german manufacturer and the Boeck family sue me

razhaz11 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 11, 2007, 06:01:15 PM »

it aint gunna happen though...your not doin anything illegal your just sellin something you have..... :

$:-\$

Jason · « **Reply #46 on:** June 11, 2007, 06:26:49 PM »

No?
Only patent infringment, I think that one is a large fine or prison time

I'm sure someone here can tell me the exact punishment but telling people how to make them is no crime

razhaz11 · « **Reply #47 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:01:20 PM »

well legally if you sell me a empty box which happens to have some cuffs in them and you actidently droped them in there they cant do dhit!

people do it all the time to lop whole the laws.....................enlockments are legally not permitted to...but still a chef bought boxes which happened to have freshfruit and veg it isnt a crime its useing your head...

webmaster · « **Reply #48 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:36:57 PM »

You'll find keeping within the law means Jason's using his head.

You're just working overtime

Kanga Man · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2007, 10:53:13 AM »

I love the idea and would like to make myself a pair. I agree with you Jason about the problems with patent infringment. You wouldn't get jail time but you could get taken to court and ordered to pay a fee to the patent owner. Plus all court costs would go to you.

What I would say is maybe you would be willing to make and sell just the metal parts for them. I loved the tutorial and really want to make some and I know that I have the skills to make a pair EXCEPT for the metal bits. The cut off screw and the washer are not a problem. The problem is the rectangular metal plate and the funny alternative to a nut. I can see how you made the plate but I can't think where to get a piece of aluminium of the correct thickness and size and I don't understand how you made the funny nut piece.

If you are going to the big London meet next month, any chance you could make a bunch of them to give out down there. I wouldn't mind reimbursing you for the materials and time it took you to make them.

If not then where could I get some aluminium plate. I'm not so worried about the nut bit. I'll just use a 6mm nut.
