Your tire shaver doesn't look near as exciting as the "skillsaw/rowing machine" tire shaver posted a while back. 

See you in a few days, Don

Well, we finished shaving that set of tires, then shaved another set with a different profile.  The tire profile depends on the profile of the one you start with, if you don't follow the original profile, you will find the fabric in the fabric tread.... and as we all know, everyone thinks that is the cords and it scares them that we are on the cords.  So unlike the tires everyone is used to seeing on the car, our new sets are  not showing any fabric.   I just hope we get the same tire longevity out of these that we got from the previous set before it met the rebar... about 15 years.  :cheers:

Here is a video of the second set getting cut
