Treadmill
« on: July 19, 2012, 04:27:01 »
A very simple custom treadmill I made for the workout room in Chris's fire station:



It's made using the pallet lift from 4135 - Super Set Construction Site. I just put the treads in the raised position, and then used sticky tack (earthquake putty) to attach a piece of black card paper. The handles are turned around so the person standing on it can reach them of course, and then the display screen is a laptop screen. Simple but effective! And the whole thing is attached only with putty so it can be easily taken apart and restored to its original use.

Looks like a great custom, and the clicky looks happy. (for the time being, maybe he feels less happy after working the treadmill for weeks on end when put on display.   ;) )

Simple but effective is often the best, and this one is very neat and clever.   :wave:
