The table in the "sluggo pre-keep" video is a hair under over 14'. I did not use padding under the carpet like I had originally planned. The carpet I used is designed for concrete floors. It is large squares with a rubber backing. I glued them to the table.

I used a mobile home axle. I welded 1 1/2 tubing for spokes and then bolted 2X4's to the spokes. I then cut OSB board to fit the wooden spokes. The rubber backed carpet squares were then glued to the OSB board. I painted the OSB board heavily prior to the carpet.

IN the beginning I thought it was too free. Once a dog gets it going it really rolls. I wish it had a little more drag to it but I have learned to like it just the way it is. A lot like a smooth turning carpet mill a dog has to physically make it go so at slower speeds it is more of a physical demand. On the other end at top speed it is like a free spinning slat mill. The dog is driving it but keeping up with it as well.

I change speeds during ten to twelve minute sessions. It has proven to be a really nice tool to have in the shed. Which brings me to my next dilemma. I built it outside, down in the woods, away from everything. Inclement weather has proven to be an issue. I am thinking of moving it back to the barn and building a lean to out over it for wet weather work. EWO
