I'm wondering if anyone actually used these plans too created their own Star Wars Yoke??  If so, is it any good????

Does it work??

Thanks

I have the plans, but I've never attempted to build from them. Overall the plans seem fairly straightforward, but they could use more/bigger pictures to clarify the assembly process.

Do you think it'll work?

I don't see any glaring reason why it wouldn't. There will be some tinkering/tweaking involved to get everything right, but it should work.

Here's Voodoo's Response:

I like the Twisty, the plams are easy to follow, the overall cunstruction cost is cheap, the controller works well but the one caveat is that drilling into pvc is hard and dangerous. It really is the hardest piece of construction. Hope that helps, I say if you can get access to a drill press your ok, hand drill is a little iffy.

Let me know if I can help you on assembly or what ever, I have a pretty good pic of my Twisty:

Just select other projects Ive built and keep updated on your project.

Good Luck
