Hint: use sewing thread for the rope.

We should probally move this topic to off topic section.

Anyway this is the detail of the chair my friend and I use on our ski resort in my back yard. I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can

Note: The colours on the picture directly corespond to the colour coded KNEX

That would be very interesting, but very cool

Well if you can figure out how to make a detachable K-NEX lift then you beat me. Through a lot of work and thinking I still can't figure out how to make a detach work.

i have a fully working double made out of lego/kenects. i used 2 kenects wheels w/o the tire to make a bullwheel, used a special lego part for the grip. i have a copmleat tension system, light system and 4 chairs and alot of time.

[ISMrider]

ha ha do you have any pictures, I would like to se it.

[spunkyskier01]

unfourtunitly it is dissasebled for now, but it is organised so it can be quickly rebuilt.i should. i am quite proud of my hill. it has a lift, rope tow, handel tow, groomer, crane, shuttle bus, 8 cars, ski patrol, snowmobiles, 10 snowguns, a lodge w/tiket counter and food court. it realy should take a photo of it.

[iceberg210]
