Kreitler Roller Box

[ThunderAppeal]

ROFL @ the dogs tenacity.

the box is a great idea but looks like if you accidentally ride off the roller it will be nasty fall

Why is the fan in front? Isn't that more dangerous?

[deemstyle]

Thanks for watching. Kreitler designed the fan to be in front. Probably to give the illusion of a headwind.

Awesome. But I thought the dog was going to stick your spokes! Should put a leash on him to make the video.

GENIUS

Thanks- yes, it's a fan unit.

[roadworms]

Cool idea! Is that a fan attached w/ a belt drive in the front?

Very nice! A higher floor would be great for standing over the frame. It's always a little tricky getting on/off normally.

No problem- I'm glad you enjoyed it. I actually stumboled across the unisturt in a quest to find cheaper steel. I had planned on using angle iron and welding it together. However, I found that unistrut is significantly cheaper at about $15 for a 10' length from Lowes. Good luck with your free motion roller- I hope you post a video of it!

Nice work! You should throw some paint on there to give it a finished look also.

Thanks see part two for paint... ;)

An even more in depth video; I happen to watch it right after I posted. I liked that you showed the inner construction with the unistrut as well. Everything seems to have been well thought out and put together. I'm planning to make a free motion roller and you gave me the idea to possibly use unistrut as the base. Again great work, and thanks!
