Man people go to so much trouble trying to build a ice finisher these days for their back yards.

Use the posts 3 idea and drag a heavy towel.

Hot water is the key!

How do I know? Well I can level a NHL sized pad from corner to corner within 1/8" with a real manual Zamboni.

The new laser guided machines get it perfect. The water flow is also controlled by computer for speed etc.

I think you misunderstood me but I think most understood what I was talking about.

All the controls are manually adjusted for speed, cut and water flow,
The newest machines are fully computerized and the driver just has to maintain the pattern on the pad.
