I don't build unicycles and don't know jack about it.
However, many of you do and I'm starting this thread out of curiosity. I
don't expect a trend or consensus to emerge, but think it would be
interesting to hear what you all have to say on the matter.
For those of you who spend hours, in some cases countless, is it the
resulting unicycle, the process itself, or a combination of the two that
is the motivating force?
And just for the heck of it, here are some specific questions:
1) What's the longest amount of time and/or most money you ever spent on
a custom job that was a complete flop? What general principles or
specific facts did you learn from the experience?
2) Ditto 1, but for a machine that proved near or exactly what you'd
hoped for?
3) Was your first attempt at a custom unicycle motivated by a specific
need or the general desire to tinker?
4) What do your spouse, partner, significant other, children, parents,
guardian, etc have to say on the matter?
Thanks,

And the locusts sang, it gave me a chill.
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
And the locusts sang in a high whining trill.
And the locusts sang and they was sanging for me.
