Wartski Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Comfortably Numb (Gilmour, Waters) 6:49 Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. O.K. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.

S77th-konkussion Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) DRUM ROLL PLZ.... one nice item- an angled platform for the pedals.. a little fabrication... should look something like this.... need to get a few small clamps. I was considering a package of wood shims to gain a small downward angle..

S77th-konkussion Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Yep. I was going to attempt to center-mount the stick to a chair, but aside from the potential carpal-tunnel issues- Peter P made a very good point about being able to reach the pedals comfortably. The base of the stick forces your legs apart. Makes reaching and using the pedals very awkward.. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Looks like nice re-use of the base for a foot powered sewing machine or am I wrong? Is it a Singer? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
S77th-konkussion Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Looks like nice re-use of the base for a foot powered sewing machine or am I wrong? Is it a Singer? YEP- with a Corian counter surface. **update** scrapped the 2 separate plywood pieces and instead cut out flooring underlayment. I needed the shelf space between the controllers for mouse and writing surface and/or desk space. Placed a thin, but ridgid sliding patio door stop underneath- centered on my pedals to reduce a little sagging and to increase overall rigidity. The angled shims bring the controllers to a better ergonomic angle. I used small 1.5" C clamps with cut up paint sticks to avoid drilling holes in the Corian. I thought about just going to get some stiffer plywood- but this was right here in the house. Besides-I hope to be in my own place within 2-3 months tops, so just need it to work.. I still feel like this belongs on www.thereifixedit.com :joystick::smartass: Edited May 6, 2011 by S77th-konkussion [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
