Does anybody sell these or are all of them out there home made. If so, what kind/size rings did you use and how did you secure them? I know there are not many out there who have these but I know mcp, Ryan, and Moon have experience and iSami recently set up a prototype pair, but I was curious if anyone has info about them?

Thanks in advance :D

Oooo. I've been looking for some of these ever since Moon's video. I'm eager to know if you find any vendors.

I was thinking about just supergluing a set of standard juggling rings together and spraying them metallic, but I'd much rather get my hands on some flush, machine-made ones.

I wonder how much effort goes into plastic molding at home >.> I should find out.

Lot of noxious gases to deal with I think. You'd probably need a properly ventilated workshop.

DEAR GOD PEOPLE JUST TAPE SOME CIRCLES TOGETHER!

<regarding plastic molding though... first person to build a DIY 3d printer (about 500 bucks, and then you can use it to print yourself a newer and better 3d printer) will become a powerhouse of awesome new juggling equipment>
