Custom Bengals Board Finished!!!

[jeff]

That board and team would be a great addition to our league in Mid- Ohio. hint... hint
We even have 3 guys that live in the Cincinnatti area and 1 in Trotwood , so that way you would not have to travel very far to play some games.

Wow...that board is GREAT !!!! Very professional and it appears you have done just about every step yourself down to using Auto Cad...

Did you a make the DC motor that runs off the wall wart?

I really appreciate all of your complements and encouragement!

Anyone have any suggestions for my next board? I need a creative muse...

I have one suggestion. BUILD ONE FOR ME.

Very nice field!!!!

Team ain't too shabby either!

[Joeram57]

SEE, I KNEW IT...LOL...

What I meant by build was...did you use the basic DC motor with a "nut" on it style you see in some of the older "build your own board guides" or did you purchase one set up for MF from one of the kind folks on this site, or some other style.

Thx,

We keep pushing the envelope of creativity. This board, the way you presented it is very professional.

Try making a 49ers board....we beat you guys twice in the big game! Maybe you can exact some revenge.


Very nice D roller. Post some video if you have it, I would love to see this thing perform.

Joe Ram,

I did build the motor set-up myself. I used a standard hobby type motor with a flat housing (easier to mount) and I used a small eccentric weight to provide the vibration.

I think it was WallyJ that said you dont need a bunch of motors, just one good one. When I first began building boards, the motors and eccentric weights I used were just TOO stong. They would vibrate so violently that they would literally launch players off the board if it was turned up too high! It was like an ejection seat!
