Ok...here's a run down of the final product. One thing i havent discussed is price. The more i worked on these i realized i cant compete with the watkins on price. For that i personally apoligize. I was hoping to stay around the $30 dollar range....but with the added time it took to make these i gotta ask $40 (forum members only). Shipping will be extra.....but i think i can flat rate ship these anywhere in the continental US for like $5. Let me check on that for sure though. If i would of gotten these coated the price would bump up. What are your thoughts? One last note..... MADE IN THE USA

Hey JC, Looks like you put some serious thought and effort into putting this swivel together. You did'nt miss a trick regarding every aspect of this swiv. As you mentioned, redesigning the "one piece" housing into two for manufacturing purposes wouldn't seem to effect its function one way or the other and would save you having to remove to total housing if having to change out the ball/hook. Those swivels would blow away the Watkins in quality and might eliminate shavings (not sure if come off the housing or the hook material). Very cool! Thanks for the Effort. Necessity is the mother of invention. Bag On Bro!!!T.J. MaTEE'[/U][/U] u:

Jump,
Nice work. Would it make any sense to you to make up a bunch of balls. Compatibility with the hook from the plastic base would be wonderfull since I have a bunch or them. Do your balls fit smoothly in the plastic base?
I'd gladly sign on for 5 balls if you were interested.

WOW!! Man that looks B-U-Tea-Ful! amazing quality and production value. It is definitely worth the money, especially for the die hard ballhook crowd. I need three for my three boards up. Hopefully I'll get to use them soon.
Super Post, thanks.Last edited by Speedbag; 11-21-2010, 03:16 AM.Speed Bag
