I must have picked up The Bicycle Builder’s Bonanza in bookstores at least a half a dozen times. At the time I didn’t pay much attention to the unicycle projects. The recumbents and tadpole trikes were more toward my line of thought. But there was always something that left me cold in every one, a detail that was just a little sketchier than I could be happy about, like the Home Depot hub FoxxyD points out.
Maybe it all works well enough. The testimonials and gallery photos all seemed to be for just-completed rides so it’s hard to say based on that. But a plan I’m buying from someone else ought not to have stuff in it that I wouldn’t feel comfortable about if it had been my own idea. One way or another, I always managed got out of the store without buying it.
It looks like selling pdf files of plans from his website is his thing now, and one of them has two unicycle plans in it:

I guess that’s what prompted this thread. That home-made seat would be just heavenly after riding on it for an hour or so, no doubt about it.

I’ve gotten around to buying one. Learning to use it has been on the agenda for a while. 
It would be cool if there were open-source unicycle projects to play with.
I’ve read through the whole homemade handlebar projects thread but didn’t see anything that looked like it was going to run KH or Nimbus out of the business.
