i bought the spinning set up and ill tell you save your money i bought 2 and that was a good thing because the first set up did not work properly (of coarse bottom half was epoxied allready) so i had to salvage the one set up with the 2nd.. cool looking after you spend time trying to fix the blemishes and mishaps dan
