thanx for all your input so now i have something for u
here is a step by step instruction how to manual thing!

1: go out there and find yourself all the stuff you cant make like
wheel, cranks, pedals, chain, sprokets, tyre etc because these are what
you base your plan on to make sure it will work (no good planing before
you know what you are using). i would have liked to use a wheel off one
of those push things used for transporting fridges and stuf but putting
bearings, axel and stuff on would b too hard so i used the smallest bike
wheel i could find.

2: Find, figure out or get the material (metal) you plan on using for
the project.

3: measure everything and i mean everything u will be suprised at how
many things you need to know the measurement of when drawing your plan.


4: Draw up your plan with all the measurements of the components (parts)
you have taken earlier. i found it best to make the plan actual size
because you can sceck everything is right on it while building. place
the crank and etc, as close to the wheel as your frame will allow (
looks cooler and ends up smaller this way).

5: Get to it and get everything cut to the exact size and shape and
ready to be put togeather. cut the crank housing and grind it smooth so
it can be welded into the frame later.

6: Build it, weld everything togeather grinding off sharp edges etc, and
measuring it throughout the process to make sure it is right. Remember
to weld the freewheel to the hub so u dont have any unpleasent problems
later on.

7: Assemble the entire thing to make sure it all works as desired.

8: Go and buy some paint and sand the whole thing, prime it with primer,
and spray it with what ever colour of paint you want. follow directions
on the can for best results!

9: re assemble.

10: The most important part ride it and enjoy your new creation.

hope this helps and as for the plans it wont let me attach them so
sorry but if you cant make one with these pics and instructions
well i dont think you deserve to ride unicycles anyway happy mini g
building!
