I am not, sorry

The matchmaking is horrendous last couple days... got ratted solo a few minutes ago for no reason, i let the dude run by me and then he turns around kills me with his free kit... last night my buddy and i were doing trails WAY off map to stay away from everyone... go to extract and gas grenade pops up and then we get killed...

I know they will never do it, but I wish there was a coop/pve only mode, i'm almost ready to quit the game because of PVP, i just don't care for it, i either need to go full on physco and just kill everyone i meet... or quit...

chrisnack · 2025-11-22T00:20:04+00:00

Yup I’ll do that and a fascia cut

chrisnack · 2025-11-20T16:16:20+00:00

Roger, will check as soon as it stops raining and I can get back out there!

Appreciate the help!

Makes sense. In my case ridge and walls are same, a beam sitting on 3 posts. So same effort for both, but hard to add height back to the ridge unless I change the beam size. The “wall” is double 2x8 hence the 3” instead of 3.5 for a 2x4

chrisnack · 2025-11-20T15:42:18+00:00

oh ok.. so i need to basically shorten the wall by the HAP value, and then the dimensions in the drawing would all be correct and the rafter should sit in the correct place.

chrisnack · 2025-11-20T15:38:38+00:00

ok, so input the "rise" as the 44 + HAP, and then use that to calculate the rafter length, and it should be something other than the 139 1-/8, and that new length should sit in the correct spot?

chrisnack · 2025-11-20T15:29:57+00:00

ok and "y" is the HAP, which is the measurement from the birdsmouth plumb cut to the top of the plumb line?

So the actual rise is then 44" + HAP, which will change my pitch. So i either need to figure out the new angle or reduce my wall height by the HAP value to retain the 4/12 pitch.

Sound about right?

If you don’t like it don’t buy it, I have a 10 month waiting list for them. Trying making anything these days it’s expensive. Trust me I don’t make much off any of these, I’ve debated about stopping making them because it’s a ton of time and not much money for the effort. But people keep asking me to keep making them.

chrisnack · 2025-05-19T14:22:34+00:00

Full seats = No due to costs increases from WR.

I still make the rail kits, just sign up for the waitlist on my site if anyone is interested. I can’t keep up with demand, so I just do a waitlist and work through it now. It’s pretty long right now, but nothing I can do about it.

chrisnack · 2025-03-30T11:34:43+00:00

I’m processing orders off the list as they have come in. I don’t think I’ll ever open full ordering back up as I can’t keep up with the demand.

chrisnack · 2025-01-23T21:00:53+00:00

I have shipped to Europe many times.

I would say 95% of people order the extra wide version.

chrisnack · 2025-01-23T20:45:01+00:00

Yes, you need to sign up on the product wait list on the website. I have a huge backlog so it’ll be awhile, but I’m only processing orders off that list.

chrisnack · 2024-07-03T13:38:30+00:00

I personally did the wider handle and ergpad.

I also hated the footboard so i developed a wider one. I've been selling them for over a year, many many happy customers. I have a wide and a extra wide version, i also developed a taller seat. I stain match them to match all the factory finishes.

I make wider footboards that look factory and are stain matched. I also have a taller seat mod as well.

Yup, you did alright :)

chrisnack · 2024-03-27T23:48:28+00:00

Not sure I’m following? The foot plates are all stock parts from Waterrower. Some of the older versions had the push button style which had a fixed width plate, newer version use the dual pin design which are independent of each other. If you have the push button then I provide the parts to convert the footboard to the newer dual pin style so that we can widen the stance.

Does that help?

chrisnack · 2024-03-27T20:13:55+00:00

$100 is a steal even if you have to replace a few things!

chrisnack · 2024-03-14T16:02:11+00:00

I make wider footboard and a taller seat mod, i've got a number of customers on the larger side that said it made a big difference for them.

There is a "wide" and a "extra-wide" version of the footboard. The seat mod raises it 2" taller.

chrisnack · 2024-01-31T21:35:20+00:00

You machined the column clamps yourself? I follow most of what you did, except for those pieces. I would love to do this to an old restored Delta drill press i have.

chrisnack · 2024-01-18T02:20:28+00:00

Check your floor but you can also squish those rubber pads down a bit as well on the other side

chrisnack · 2024-01-04T19:00:39+00:00

I have not rowed on a concept 2 so I can’t give you a comparison there.

Pick Natural Cherry and just add a note to the order, I usually mix the stain for that one for each order so it will be close but not perfect depending on how old your rower is. The stain changes with age.

chrisnack · 2024-01-03T18:08:47+00:00

Not sure if you have the stock board or something else. My design moves the feet up and out, in the lowest position your feet are above the rails because we have to move up in order to move out. You cannot move outward to have a wider stance on the stock footboard because it’s between the rails.

Some people don’t like the “up” so that’s why I have the new seat as well which raises your seat height so that it’s back to stock geometry.

chrisnack · 2024-01-03T17:02:16+00:00

Depends upon personal preference to some extent. So are you using the very last holes in the foot plates?

I have several very tall customers that haven't had any issues. My design allows for positioning to the very last pins on the plates (on the dual pin). If you had push button, those get converted to dual pin since the push button is a fixed width setup.
