Title: My first wheel build for my first project
Post by: lukethespookcoop on June 21, 2012, 04:42 PM

I think I've got this right, was a bitch but enjoyed it none the less, took the whole evening, followed YouTube instructions but were never right, then I just copied the other wheel and it worked out fine, all nice and tight. (http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q481/lukethespookcoop/1af1d78c.jpg)

I see what you mean!, I'm not sure if it's a bad photo!, I took last night at 11:30 when I eventually finished!, I'm gonna check it again when I get home and report, I'm sure it looked fine!, hopefully it's just the angle of the photo.

Cool, I shall check again when I get home, and if they're wrong spend my whole Sunday tryna perfect it, I think the only time I get a little confused is when you have to turn it over and go to the hole that is to the right and doesn't line up with the one below!!!, ha, that made sense to me.
