• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Possible homemade yoke idea...

Was browsing on eBay for cheap used yokes and came across this little thing.... Now, if I have the general concept right of how this thing works right... Could you basically make something like this yourself with maybe a dowl, some pvc, etc. etc..... ? Looks like all it does is use a bar that slides in and out and turns, and there is a mouse with a roller ball attatched above it to mock the inputs..... thoughts anyone? or anyone else ever seen this?

And if you want shaped parts, glue some wood planks together (dried wood, good glue, heavily clamped) and put it in a vice and start shaping it with a grinder and discs of 36 grit! Then finish.
