  1. new VH skates for my girlfriend. many thanks to JR for helping us do the drawings and measurements when we were in Detroit back in April. :)
  2. one more pick up that I was waiting for my Pens to eliminate the Caps to post:
  3. a few of my more recent pick ups: broke my "no Reebok stuff" rule for this one:
  4. I have no recollection of an email but it's possible it ended up in the spam.
  5. I did. I was a Kickstarter backer AND got the X ring as soon as it was available.
  6. interesting that you say that because I didn't get one..... :(
  7. I love finding the college gear!
  8. I usually start with 4 and just keep going as necessary......
  9. should those of us that have one be concerned about using it?
  10. a few things I've added the last few months....... always wanted some yellow outline Bruins Franchise: right middle, finally added a 4th to my Kovy collection: 1998 Team USA Olympics pants. planning to convert these into a shell.....
  11. did this topic get un-pinned?
  12. 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.
  13. I played in USA Hockey Nationals there a few years ago. fantastic facility!
  14. 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.
  15. good unboxing video! I got mine on Thursday too. haven't been home long enough to set it up yet.
  16. and the shell collection continues to grow.....
  17. and some really hard to find speedwicks:
  18. 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..... :)
  19. 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.
  20. I'm very excited to get my Sparx sharpener. I think I'll be in the 2nd or 3rd wave.......
  21. modest haul from the Atlanta Gladiators sale on Monday:
  22. new custom Eagle stuff......
  23. not sure why it took me so long to find Bruins stuff.....
  24. another shell acquired:
