Finger Uni

A while ago there was a post about buying finger unicycles. I haven’t found any, but i found out how to make them from a finger bike. First you have to make sure that the bike has those little things that come out from each wheel. Then you take off the handle bars, and take off the front wheel. You then take a candle, and melt the fork, but make sure that the flame is either on the top of the fork, or on the part that that connects the fork onto the body. Take the fork out as soon as you can, and make sure that it’s hardened before you do anything else. Try to keep it in the original shape. When that’s done, take off the seat and the seat post. If the post won’t come off, either melt the base, and if that won’t work, use a neddle or nail instead. Put the seat post in the hole at the top of the fork base, and use a glue gun, or some kind of liquid glue to put it in. If you want, melt the fork agan and tightin it (with pliers). Then glue the seat on, and put on the wheel. I haven’t figured out how to put pedals on, but the things on the side of the wheel probably work better.

My friend had already tried making one and was succesful, but a little uncerimonious in ripping the seat and handle bars off and then trading their places. Anyhow,

You must have had the wheel on backwards or the cranks on the wrong sides.
Turn the seat around and it should be fine. :slight_smile:
