I am going to make mine pedal powered as I have a three wheel bike to attach it to and I don't have the skills to make the offset flywheel bar thingy that the motorized one has. I really did want to use an old treadmill as my motive power but no space or skills to pull that one off. :roll:
But I should be skilled enough to hook a bar onto each pedal so as I pedal, so the stampers go forward and back. Will be talking to a welder today (if he is home) and asking about getting two bars about three feet long with O rings welded onto both ends. Slip one end onto the pedal assembly and the other hook a D ring through and screw to the stampers.
A few questions though................
1) How close to the end of the section the hides go into should my stampers go? The one in the video seems to have a good couple of feet but as I wont be doing that volume of hides my rig is going to be smaller and, as its going to be me powering it, mine will be slower as well. :lol:
2) Should the end be round like in the video or do you think a box end will work? Is it the rounded end that makes the hides tumble, do you think?
3) Do the stampers have teeth? Are they angled? Or are they flat ended? I keep watching the video but cant tell for sure.
Any and all help? Priceless!
