I heard that, asshole!!

You can actually call them anything you'd like.

I know.

This is how PinFoots start out in life. This is 200 board feet of oak which ends up making 1200 Foots, or 300 sets.

Maybe some day when I get bored and feel like experimenting. For now, cleared, natural oak is the only option. Sorry.

WTF!!

That, I can easily do. People need to keep in mind, though, this is oak. Oak has a relatively course grain, unlike birch, maple, cherry, etc.. If you stain and lacquer them, I think they'll look fine. If you decide to paint them, they're going to look like you painted oak. In other words, they won't look the greatest.

I'd like to offer something different, but these are already labor intensive enough.

Pilot hole needs to be drilled. Blind hole needs to be drilled. Foot needs to be cut out with hole saw. Foot needs to be edge sanded twice. Top and bottom edges need to be routed. Foot needs to be edge sanded again. Top and bottom final sanding before it gets cleared. And I do these 100 at a time.

I really have no desire to add more steps to the process.

DICK!!

No one is willing to help. I've yelled at them to get off my lawn one too many times. And I did that in the cafeteria during lunch.

If your PinFoot gets dimpled, you have it in the wrong location.

And yes, my wood is as old as I am.

FUCK NO!!!!!!!!

They do not. Never have. You should replace your carpet.

Terry and I are eternally grateful for that.

Yes, sir. Not sure the best way to get them to you, though.

Back in the day, I sold them with felt installed. There wasn't a big demand, so I quit. I forget where I bought the felt but it was online somewhere. Never heard back from anyone about the felt coming off.

You want to cut the felt 3 1/2" in diameter. That will keep it just less than the bullnose radius on the edge. I used to use a soup can to trace the circles.

Don't be a dick, Brad!!!

Here's a batch fresh out of the hole saw.

I hate to say it, but sometimes bad shit happens at the Foot factory. Thanks to the keen eyes of my quality control staff, 99% of this is caught before it leaves.

IMG_0725 (resized).jpg

Some of you guys are getting awefully close to my lawn. Don’t make me yell at you.

No fur but I did make these about six years ago for the Bumbles/white version of WH2O.

Oh no you diant!!!!

I heard that, asshole!!

I had a good day in the Foot factory. Thank God the nursing home has a wood shop or I'd be sitting around all day long doing jigsaw puzzles drooling in a spit bucket.

Thank you, Brad. You're a good dude yourself!!

Added bonus, cause that's just the kind of guy I am....

FREE SHIPPING....if you buy 10 sets or more.

Don't delay!! Act now!!

And what happens to all the PinFoot byproduct you ask?

Entertain me. Pretend like you give a shit.

Took the permit out and built the fire pit 23 years ago. Even had the fire Marshall out to make sure it met requirements. I've replaced the top row of Keystone blocks 3 times. Burned a lot of shit over the years.

Here's another 108 Foots curing in my patented spray booth.

IMG_0765 (resized).jpg

Oh my.

Another 19 sets go out this morning. Keep the orders coming. I'll just make more!!

I heard that, asshole!!

Nothing works as well as the furniture sliders. I use them myself if I'm rearranging pins in the game room. They just don't look all that great if left permanently.

PinFoots are more about preventing deep holes in the carpet from the legs, although the games are easier to move with them than without.

I heard that, asshole!!

26 more going out soon. Pinball Life should be in stock soon also.

Now available at Pinball Life.

Here’s a small glimpse into my Footie world.

Nothing but fun in my life.

Thanks!! If I can just save one piece of game room carpet at a time.

I've done a bunch in the past. I could maybe be talked into it.

F no.

Double F no!!

It’s not all gumdrops and lollipops in the Foot factory. Sometimes bad shit happens.

Why not buy my patented “Wall Hugger” PinFoot?

Foots are being sent AROUND the globe! There will soon be a couple of happy campers in Canada.

FWIW, I only ship USPS Priority Flat Rate. You can go here and see what the cost may be to ship to a particular country.

If your name is Charlie Emery or you’re involved with Spooky Pinball, I’m willing to do custom orders.

And that's only half of what the dead beat needs.

First pic is the last of 1160 Foots from the first batch ready to be finished. Second pic is another 200 board feet of red oak ready for processing. This will take me until late fall, then I'm done until next spring.

Don't wait until they're gone. BUY NOW!!

1160 Foots? That's a lot of f'ing Foots, Bryan.

Yes, Bryan, it sure as shit is!!

It happens with the elderly.

Without my QC staff, these may have made it out the door.

I wish they all had a little something like this going on.

Rob Anthony is the only one I know of that sells them at shows and I haven't been able to get stock to Rob yet.

They're all too busy playing bingo.

Info is in the first post in this thread but here it is copy and pasted. Send me a PM and I'll give you a cost on what you need.

That's right, people....after a two year hiatus, the Foots factory is back up and churning out what so many of you have been demanding. Formally known as Pin Footies, the name has been changed, thanks to my good friend, Rob Anthony. Yes, Rob, your smart ass name stuck.

These bad boys are hand crafted, solid oak coasters with two coats of clear applied. Tired of those deep holes the legs of your pin make in the carpet? PinFoots take care of that while adding that touch of sophistication, elegance and class all game rooms crave.

Price is $25 a set plus shipping. Shipping is Priority Mail. I can get one set in a small box for $7 and up to ten sets in a medium box for $13. Buy ten or more.....FREE SHIPPING!!

These will also be available from Terry at Pinball Life in a couple of weeks for the same price. As long as you're there buying parts, order your Foots and save on the shipping!

Be the envy of all your neighbors, family, friends and ex girlfriends and buy your PinFoots TODAY!!

30 sets went out this morning. Another game room carpet soon to be saved!

You don't need it any bigger than that, Jay.

Another 220 Foots ready for routing and finish sanding.

Go ahead and buy them. I’ll just make more!!

Don't be a dick, Chris!!

I've seen your game room. You could be the envy of all your neighbors with this fine product. You can have the asshole discount. Just let me know how many you need.

All it takes is for a couple of games to be done and free delivery can be yours. YES, I'll even hand deliver them!

Oh my!

Even the Dude loves PinFoots!

Don't be out of your element. BUY NOW!!

I got some sad news the other day. The widow that owns the shop and surrounding property, has finally decided to move into an assisted living facility and sell. After 20 years of PinFoot making and pinball restorations, I've got a couple more months and that's it.

Needless to say, I've got no where else to make these. I've got enough to last a few more months, but when they're gone, they're gone....unless some other dumb ass decides to make them.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200...BUY NOW!!

Had a lot of fun in this place over the years but I knew this day would finally come.

I'm fully aware of that but the comute's a killer.

I've never tried them on hardwood but I don't think you'd have an issue. The bottom is sanded baby butt smooth. I've also done them in the past with felt applied to the bottom.

Anyone interested in black, Please reply in this thread. I will make a run if enough people are interested.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/gauging-interest-in-custom-black-pinfoots#post-4548363

Sadly, the barn/shop is on about 3 acres of land along with a house and there's no simple way to divide things up. Besides, I only use the shop maybe a weeks worth of time a month so it's hardly worth it to invest in anything.

When things go up for sale, it'll make a perfect hobby farm for some handy guy.

7 more sets out the door.

Anyone else looking for the black version, let me know ASAP. I'm making one more run of them and then that's it!

I'd be more than happy to sell them unfinished, in fact, I've had two people ask for them. Once they were done, I never heard back from them again.

Long story short, I'm losing the shop I make these in, so once I'm done with the oak stock I've got left, that's it. I'll make no more. Also, natural oak is more popular than the black, so when the end is near, I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of black when I could have easily sold the natural.

I wish it were that easy. My time in the shop is running out.

You haven't seen my garage. I don't do that shit in my garage.

17 more sets went out this morning.

And you thought wall huggers were a joke.

I'm more than happy to ship internationally but I only ship USPS Priority Mail and it gets expensive. As an example, Australia would be $78.95 for a medium flat rate which is what you'd need for 4 sets. I've had some guys combine orders to get to 10 sets, which also fits in a medium box.

You can always PM me if you have any questions.

You can go here and calculate the shipping costs.

https://postcalc.usps.com/

I've got 2 sets of black left, if anyone is interested.

Another 10 sets going across the Canadian border this morning.

11 sets on there way to Georgia tomorrow.

I still have one set of black for sale.

Last black set is sold.

Last 205 Foots ready for routing and final sanding. When these are gone, they're gone!

image (resized).jpeg

Not sure how I’m going to finish this set yet.

EEC31E61-60A4-4E6F-AEE1-97CD6790EE96 (resized).jpeg

Let one of these through and it's a QC issue. Find 4 of them and it's a sales opportunity!

That's not really practical at Terry's, but I'd be more than happy to sell them here and donate the proceeds.

Where the hell were you when I started these 15 years ago!

I'm actually done with both. The shop I've been using for the last 20 years or so will soon be sold and I've got nowhere else to do this. The last batch of Foots gets sprayed tomorrow.

While I will no longer be doing full blown restores (I've got nowhere to do the cabinet work), I'm still able to do playfield swaps. In fact, I've got a couple of those coming up.

For those interested in a piece of history.

THE VERY LAST SET EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fa-ugliest-set-of-pinfoots-ever-made#post-4598951

9 sets go out this morning.

23 sets going out this morning. Someone's game room carpet is going to be very happy.

Just a FYI...I'll be offering Foots with felt bottoms soon. This is for all you guys that have your games on tile and hardwood floors.

I've been inundated with felt requests (not really, I've just always wanted to say that). I've actually had enough requests that I'm willing to offer the option.

Price will be an extra $3 a set. Felt has been ordered and I'll post pics as soon as it comes.

It's the VE version Foot.

Don't be a dick, Yancy!

I kinda like that, Brad. I can put felt on the bottom for those tile floors at the nursing home.

For those with tile or hardwood floors, PinFoots are now available with felt bottoms. $28 a set.

The first post in this thread has been updated with all the info you should need.

BUY NOW!!

Hell yeah!!

The manufacturing has ended. I won't be making any more. I was able to stockpile a few sets before the shop closed, though.
