maty j 6 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Shouldn't be too hard - small motor and a few varying sized resistors but I agree with the others go and buy one - got ours S/H from the free ads paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,217 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 thats a dam fine idea jonny i will do that mate if i dont get a treadmill thank you for all your responsers is how they used to do the bulls when they first came into country. ....a washing line ?...cant imagine that working it would get smashed to pieces,running circle would be nowhere near wide enough....think your on about a jenny/catmill....with a much wider running circle....probably easier to make than a mill,but obviously much more space needed.
