You guys are amazing. I've been trying to make one out of wood and it has been so painful I wanna kill myself.

Then I see this thing, which looks incredible, and now I simply MUSt kill myself.

This looks great.

You're awesome.

I wonder how many replies it will take before somebody asks how much you'd charge them for one of those... let's ask Mr. Owl.

Mr. Owl? How many posts does it take before somebody asks RWM to sell them one of his aluminum skaters?

"Six"

Welp... you heard Mr. Owl... so how much do you want for one of those bad boys?
 
:dankk2: Thanks for the compliments!

@ MattinSTL and moe52:
MILLIONS!!! Why? Because it was very painful to build it. :cheesy: I do it once and never again! Later I post some making of pictures. My Arms and Fingers have now double size but I save a lot of money! For the Skater? No! For the Bodybuilding Studio!!! ;-)

Nice to see that someone realize that! :)
 
That is easily the most beautiful DIY job I have ever seen.

Simply stunning.

Now, I would love to see some footage with it. :)

Oh sure, show us but don't let us play. Nice work but come on dude, make at
least a dozen by Christmas and you'll have us stepping over each other to get one.

Awesome! There's a machinist at work....for many, many hours. Forget making it, just sell posters. It's skater porn.
 
Thanks! *I’m getting red* Hu? …It's skater porn… ??? What’s that??? …but sounds interesting! ;)

@Forrest Schultz: I make this pictures with a Nikon D100

Footage comes tomorrow or at the weekend. For now, here are some pictures from the making of RADIATUS. There you can see also what I use to make it.

Now I can see why you're only making one! You probably don't want to know how fast a water jet cutter equipped with some CAD data would cut that profile. Did you make your rings the same way?

Now I'm even more impressed....awesome effort there.
 
Aluminum kind of sucks doesn't it? I mean working it... do you have aluminum chips ALL OVER your house? People think I bought glitter carpet. If you walk barefoot in my house you may get an aluminum sliver... I tried to keep the filings in the shop and they just won't stay there. By the pic of your hand there I'm guessing you can relate.
 
skater porn....i love it....

the fact that you built that by hand makes me love you even more.

some one hug this guy, he rocks.
