now..... being kind of inventive....
obviously i was extremely bored....i looked around the house
for bits and bobs that may do the job...and came up with
this little beauty...THE WORLDS FIRST MINI BOCK :-)
it now sits on my shelf and stands proud...
it is made from mostly metal and plastic...
the cuff is a plastic clip...like the ones that hold your cable
to your stem on a bike,or similar at least...
the footplate is a metal rail hanger for like in a wardrobe....
the support rods are made from a wall plate hanger (the thin type)
the main stem was made from a fibreglass
fishing rod end,flattened with a file on the edges and 2 stuck together
the hoof is a rubber....and the underside angled stems are plastic strips
off what i dont know... hehe...
-
I love this mod - its just tooo cute ;)
-
Pro-jumps for Action Man and Sindy Dolls ;D

How long did it take you to make them, they look wicked!
-
took quite a while dude...
as i had to find bits to do the job :-)
i actually made one that worked with fibreglass spring
but i pressed to hard and broke it lol... hmnnnnn
if i had all the parts ready...would take about 90 minutes to make....
was fun though....as i was bored to f********************
-
they look sweet...
while looking at them gave me an idea do you know them finger skateboards well what about finger bocks...hey hey i think they would be really cool

me personally i wouldn't call it a mod id call it a piece of art id pay £200 for it
-
At £200 I'm sure Andy would be prepared to make you one :D

They might be mini, but they're ferret size.
My boys, Ep-Ep & Echo would each love a pair ;D

hehe gilly...
i had ferrets once....
clever little buggers....and a b***h of a bite lol
hmnnnn... see what i can do lol
or maybe some mini roller skates :-)
magzzie...
woohoo like the comment....
yup. it is art really...but...i couldnt place it anywhere else :-)
otherwise i would of filled it with all the other mad stuff ive made
from gun stocks to clay wizard type figurines....
not to mention my all time downer..
i actually invented the magnetic snooker chalk holder when i was 17
but did nothing with it... well.... i was a kid and didnt think they would take off.... well....didnt even think to find out then lol....... sadly they did 4 years later...wounder
ok...there's a million pounds thrown away....
long story how it came about...but to cut the story short...
i was an exceptional snooker player then, but would go out on the town after a few hours playing saturday afternoon...
when someone asked one day in the nightclub, whats that down the side of your pocket.. i noticed there was chalk powder all over my nice new jeans...hmnnn not to mention the pocket starting to fray through constantly putting the chalk in and out....
sooooooo i invented the magnetic chalk holder....but mine was made from leather (not the plastic clip type that came out later) neatly done and cut to a flap so one half tucked down the pocket or top of your jeans, leaving the flap to hold the chalk on the outerside... i made loads for mates and that was it...
when i bump into them every 5 years or so...they always laugh now
and say...this is the guy who invented the chalk holder....
sooooo nice they rub it in INIT........
theres plenty other things ive done....but that one hurts the most..
now wheres my tissue... booooohooooooo

i would like to see you gun stocks i love firing my BB gun and my dad and objects and those weird wizard figures sound funny and i would have bought one of your magnetic chalk holders that are made of leather i mean plastic doesn't last long leather does i play a bit and not the best i know i hate snooker chalk on me but you sound like a great crazy inventor i would like to see all those things you have invented Great.

very well done there pinhead they look brill ;D
-
hehe...ok...
i will take some pics sometime this weekend
of some of the things ive made and invented....
although this would be completely off topic
the dart blowpipe one is cool....yet another invention, but found out later down the line... a similar thing has been done.... but its quite a dangerous thing if not used properly... hence another reason why i couldnt make properly... although it could of had an over 18 age restriction... its played using a dartboard and is very very accurate from 10 ft... and i mean accurate...like 4 bulls out of 5 darts :-)... it can shoot accurate with practice up to 30 yards all with just a big puffffffff :-) great for a boys night in with a few beers......
ive got some pics of the stock i made but i need to take one of the finished job...the pics start from a block of hardwood through the stages of cutting.... completely made using a jigsaw, dremel and a chisel plus loads of sweat... damn...theres loads lol...i'll stop now :-)
