It makes me very happy to see people enjoying their kayak ergometers built from my plans by converting old Nordic Track ski machines. Devices that otherwise would get sent to the landfill.
Reuse – Repurpose – Recycle
My customer, Jon, had to work his way around some issues with the parts he had but he arrived at a very functional device that he reports paddles smoother and more realistically than he imagined.
He sent me this great video of his daughter paddling the device.
This warms my heart.
Especially during these times when many of us are dealing with “stay home” orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we most assuredly would rather be out on the water. But in a pinch, this device gives you a way to paddle in your own home.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who buys my plans and especially those who then send me photos and video of their end results.
Jon and Sarah, you two just made my day.
Thank you!
