That would be super-cool, if it wasn't so toxic, eh?

... to a coin sorting machine and get the cash.

Go to your local tyre or tire store and ask them for some discarded wheel weights (lead.)

Put the wheel weights into your pouches or pockets.

Send the cash to me for giving you this idea.

The only problem with this is having to ride the balancing machine to get yourself aligned properly.....

LMAO Detroit Diver. The mental picture of a diver in a garrage, in full gear, spinning while seated, arms and hoses flailing, eyes bugged out....too funny.

Minimally weighted
Perfectly balanced
Horizonally trimmed

Course the prototype just uses an old washing machine motor...
But we've got plans for the DIR version in the works...
Dual stations so you can balance a buddy team...

 

[detroit diver]

Perfect trim is always worth it. I'll pass on the machine, though!!

I get sick on ferris wheels...

You guys can come to me for my custom rubber penny rolls. (small bike inner tube). I make them in custom lenth's $1 and $2 sizes etc.. Just add/supply your own zip ties (to each end).

Go to your Local Mechanic, get a few old Lead acid batteries, hack them up, get an old gas burner and a steel pot, buy a mould and Bobs your uncle, cheap custom weights that you can use or sell to all your mates at cheap rates!!!
Also pays to knock out a few fishing sinkers while your at it!

Or you could go to your local hunting club. Offer to clean all the game for them in exchange for getting to keep all the lead shot that you collect. Then you can make your own semi-soft weights.
