So true! Stay tuned for the electron-aided Hang-Rail™ system coming soon…🤞🍀 Thanks for watching.

lol he’s gonna burn hisself trying to look at the label while it’s still on

Awesome! Ray was the best teacher I ever had! Always very positive about everything. No matter how bad the screw up, he find something positive to say about it!

@@ebaysutube Another thing that Ray liked to say when he made a mistake was “easy buster”. Ray has been gone a long time and his son Michael also left us a few years ago. Ray set me up with an apprenticeship with a master jeweler from Europe who opened my eyes to how real jewelry was made. I became a platinum-smith and with my diamond setting abilities I was ahead of my peers at the bench. I can say with pride that ole Ray Schow changed my life for the better.

⁠​⁠​⁠So true, Ray sure did a lot for everyone! You must have seen a few visits from Walt, his crazy Russian buddy… Where from Europe was your master jeweler from? I grew up in Switzerland 🇨🇭 so I know what you mean. Is there any place on line where I can see your work? Last time I had a real shop was in the 90s, San Diego Jeweler’s Exchange 6th & E, 8th floor. Where are you located?

@@ebaysutube I would be glad to share pictures of my work and chat a bit about Ray but not here. Do you have an email address? I do remember the Russian friend of Ray’s a real character.

Well, thanks for watching and commenting. Upside down or not it is a bayonet type *left-hand* connection. I mentioned Methane(CH4) because that is what they are operating the starship with, since it’s going to be the only fuel they can easily produce on Mars. Then I said Butane, 5X distilled, to be precise… you should watch and fact, check all my videos. I make a tremendous amount of mistakes. I blame it on all the concussions from ski racing. I’m practically senile.

Short answer, ask HOC. As I mentioned, in the last few seconds of the video, for liability reasons, HOC last time I checked, say they won’t build a chair like this one, unless you already have a prototype. Kind of a catch 22 because it’s definitely not easy to build a wheelchair like this. Among the videos here on my channel, I demonstrate the prototype that I built back in 2012. It was all done mainly with CAD *cardboard, aided drafting* 😉. I made a full size model of the workings and how it would hinge out of cardboard with pins at the hinges to plan ahead for functionality before I made it out of aluminum.

@@ebaysutube ok cool, too bad they won’t make a wheelchair like, would be awesome

Thanks for watching! Just saw the question. No, there’s nothing locking my back in place. I’ve worked on a “lock-out” mechanism and had one that broke on the earlier Ti-Lite ZRA prototype, but it’s just trunk balance and I live in fear 🤪of the possibility of a header… this has not happened yet,🤞 so I don’t know how I would end up… A long way over the falls with my wheelchair following down on top of me?? I hope I never find out… Meanwhile still mentally designing an elegant, minimalist way to lockout that backrest…When I do, I’ll definitely make a video.

Near countertops or other items to push against I typically do not use my chest belt and use the trunk balance method too. I went down once but was able to get my hands on the ground and got some help from my son who was nearby. Could have been ugly but got lucky. @@ebaysutube

The short answer is no. Please see the video description. TeamHOC.com will build you a beautiful made to order product, but this one was made because I had built/was already using a working prototype. The prototypes are also on this channel, first made in 2012. Thank you for watching!

Google it.

Of course, let me know. I prefer old school talking on the phone. I’m on Facebook Erik Bayindirli

Great comment! 😁 And very light. Awesome power to weight ratio… But I’ve seen many no so strong people do it easy. A 100lbs girl para in my relatively very heavy wheelchair.. 38lbs she did it easily and said the same thing everybody says. “It’s way easier than it looks!” Arly actually blamed me for not explaining how easy it would be and how much it would change his live, starting with the trip to Europe, right after this video.

I sure did, roughed up a 2 inch diameter area of the aluminum “firewall” and JB “welded” a freshly roughed up 2” diameter stainless washer sandwiching a stainless cotter pin that was holding the pulley. Quite an elaborate setup. Way over-built IMHO, thus I’m willing to bet my life on it. Stronger and more “reliable” than the store bought hand controls that I’ve seen.

@@ebaysutube nice. I use the permanent monarch style controls. Quad here.
