Would you consider making the center ramp for Jokerz!? Mine is broken at the left end.

I checked with Larry, and he has no plans for the Jokerz! ramp anytime soon. I'm also looking for a repo subway for Scared Stiff.

As soon as the rest of the parts get in, I'll snap a shot of my new Jokerz ramps. Thanks again, Jody!

If you ever decide to do a BSD left ramp, let me know

Quoted from JodyG:

I would like to eventually do that one if it isn't in anyone else's plans. Once I get over the hump of the ramps listed in the previous post, I can look into this one.

Let me know. Mine has a melted spot that is interfering with the ball.

I do not accept garden vegetables for payment though...I had to draw the line somewhere!

You obviously haven't had my garden heirloom tomatoes yet!

Looks good all set up.

Quoted from Freeplay40:

I've had one of these on loan for several years and every once in a while took it out and scratched my head....I returned it to the donor a couple weeks ago.

Here's a thought. For some complex shapes, would it be feasible to make a modular design? Not just a vacuum molded multi-piece(which I think would work for some big ramps), but also maybe splitting an existing ramp up and using another non-vacuum formed piece to put them together. I'm not familiar with the W?D ramp in question, but I've pondered this in regards to the boney beast ramp for Scared Stiff. I have several ramps in fine condition.....except for the piece over the spider hole which is invariably destroyed and then held together with a bracket. Why not trim the ends flush and make a replacement bridge out of ABS(3d printed) or sheet metal that does away with the weak point altogether? Would a design approach like this help with other ramps?
