  1. No problem with shipping, everything on the up-and-up? Might have to take that route if it worked for you. 

    Side question for those more educated on why product offerings are different between countries: why doesn’t CCM distribute this jock in the states or Canada? People are always complaining about cups and this one has nothing but rave reviews.


  2. I'm aware this is a ridiculous idea, but I've got a stainless steel table about the size of a skate sharpener (1 inch thick), a few grinders, and I'm sick of driving 45 minutes to get a decent sharpening. Plus, im on a college student budget, so the drive over sucks. From what I can tell, ive got to come up with a blade holder, grinding wheel, and some way to dress the wheel. Has anyone made one before, and if so, how did it turn out? Thanks for any positive insight.


  3. Not to thread jack here, but I am an ice player, and I have an old pair of graf 705's sz 12 laying around, and some 852 tacks sz 11.5. I'd like to make an inline pair out of one of them. Would a local shop be able to mount a chassis up if i brought in the skates and a set of chassis? The 852'smight be a problem, as there are a few cracks in the footbeds starting at the rivets. Also, where would one go about getting a set of chassis to do this? thanks for the help


  4. I don't want the shavings in my beer, breathing them is bad enough. I should have my bar built in the basement next year about this time.

    It'd be like goldschlager, only toxic, and not gold, or cool by any stretch of the imagination. Basement bars are great, when I find a good spot for my powerskater, hopefully we'll be building one in my basement too. No skate sharpener though


  5. I believe Blackstone has a dressing system that works on other machines for $1800 plus spinners, So around $2200.

    That's a pretty good chunk of change, but if its as awesome as its cracked up tp be, it'd def. be worth it. Is there anywhere in Illinois to get FBV sharpenings done? and can you go back to regular hollow sharpenings afterward, on the same steel?


  6. I HAVE to get this, I'm 6'4 225 skating on a 3/8 radius. I can't find anything else that gives me the bite i like, but I want more glide, so this is basically exactly what I need. But for now I'm gonna be trying out a 7/16. Still dont think that will help that much though. How much does it cost to get an existing competitor's machine to the point where it can do FBV sharpenings?


  7. I got my German minor after 3 semesters at college. 3 years later I can't speak a word or translate anything. Unlike engineering you need what you learn in class!

    Yep, if its something you really don't like, its fairly easy to forget it, haha. We had some foreign exchange students from Germany at our school this year, so I talk to them in German on facebook still which helps. I kind of want to work over there/study abroad, so hopefully I learn something, haha


  8. Tested into 300 level German as a freshman. Gonna have to work my ass off, but it felt nice to test 2 years ahead of what I was expected to do by my german teacher in high school. Double major in Mechanical Engineering and German is looking very attainable now. School starts in a month, hockey tryouts are the first day of class. Oh and new pants and shins coming tomorrow :)
