    did this topic get un-pinned?

    the Sparx is basically a fully contained unit. I've had a Wissota hooked up to a shopvac for years and while it helps keep the dust down it doesn't capture probably even half of the dust. the Sparx is catching virtually all of it. those of us who got in on the Kickstarter pricing got a HELLUVA deal.

    I played in USA Hockey Nationals there a few years ago. fantastic facility!

    me too! I'm fanatical about even edges. it's a big reason why friends have me sharpen their skates rather than the shop at the rink.

    good unboxing video! I got mine on Thursday too. haven't been home long enough to set it up yet.

    because I feel like being a show-off, current pics of my growing shell collection: *Devils and Surrey minor hockey shown twice to make collage pics even numbers this is probably about 85% of what I've been looking for. still have a few teams left to go..... :)

    that depends on your situation. I bought a Wissota over 10 years ago for somewhere in the $600-$700 range. here in ATL the rink shops are notorious for doing poor sharpenings. at that time we only had one non-rink shop in town and it was probably 35 miles from my house and not open on Sundays. if you couldn't get up there on Saturday you were SOL and of course at a 70 mile round trip we couldn't just leave our skates if they were busy so we invested in the Wissota and not only did our own skates but also did skates for teammates and friends at $5 per. the machine has paid for itself several times over just in the $5 charge not to mention the savings in gas and the wear and tear on my car.

    I'm very excited to get my Sparx sharpener. I think I'll be in the 2nd or 3rd wave.......

    seriously. shells are easy to store. try storing pants!

    I should've known you were the one who nabbed those Hawks Versteegs! odd cuff on those things though.....

    my gf ASKS me to make her sticks like this. we pick up broken sticks from taller teammates, flip them over and insert a composite blade in the top. we call them Frankensticks. :)
  21. shoeshine boy
    yep, those of us who backed it early got a better price. a reward for helping them get up and running if you will.

    great logo but the cut of that jersey looks odd. kind of like when Reebok first went with the tighter jerseys. I'd love to see one when you get the finished product.

    Dodgers jerseys are SWEET!
  25. shoeshine boy
    nice looking gloves except for that little piece of plastic. looks like a snot rocket landed on the gloves.... ;)
