Just finished my first video. The sound quality turned out better than the video. My board makes a cool drum sound, I think, but my neighbor doesn't. The rubber o ring might slow it down some and of course you need to keep it lubed, but its worth the protection. The retention cap was cut from a 1/4 in. nylon washer and fits on that specific hard ware. I will post more on how it was made and updates on the hours of abuse it takes. Thanks for checking out my Psycho Swivel!!

I put up my first platform in Jan. 2010 after getting an everlast nylon bag for Christmas. Most of those components were scrap also. Well, scrap to someone else, but I'll find a need for anything. So I've been baggin for about three months. The second month, a lot of time was spent on fabricating my designs. Many hours on research and development and now testing. Thanks for the comment, I'm psyched!The Speed Ball should be in every hall

Like your skills, the platform is impressive. Your doing great for just 3 months!!!
I like the idea of a ball running on a bearing. I knocked up a metal ball hook swivel of my own, from an Everlast chain link. At the time I thought about a bearing, but decided the housing would have to be much larger. It would be interesting to see what you come up with.......Good luck.

A few other members are developing hybrid swivels as well. It should be interesteing to see how each performs.

In my design, I didn't want the ball making any metal to metal contact, to lessen the wear. The only piece that does make contact is the eye bolt hanging through. Those pieces are cheap, unlike any of the metal housings available, or drilling out that brass ball. I don't think it would need to be much larger, just re-machined, to fit bearings.

Originally posted by ukspeedbag View PostYes, the chain-link base is fine. I used a conned drill bit to tapper the base so the ball sit's in snug, it's also polished. I give a drop of oil every once in a while, normally when it starts squeaking.......or is that my joints?The Speed Ball should be in every hall
