toymakr000 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I finally finished my winder. I've been working on it for acouple of months. It works really well, at least as well as I had hoped. It can easily pull 150' of 16 AWG cords up the driveway.http://bazillionlights.com/Images/2007/windermovie1m.wmvhttp://bazillionlights.com/Images/2007/windermovie.wmv Attached files
Richard III Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 thats really neat - I like how the arm moves side to side to wind the wires more evenlyGreat job !
Fred Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Dude, is there anything you can't build?!?I MUST learn to weld.
toymakr000 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 Fred,I think if I'm interested enough in something I will build it! I'm very interested in a full suspension kite buggy right now.......1/8 scale model built. Thinwall conduit mock up being built right now.Fun stuff! Actually, my wife wants to leaarn to weld so she can make a snowman on a trampoline wireframe before Christmas... She's a very crafty/scrapbooking type of person so It's going to be cool turning her into a metalworker:cool:
Fred Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Now there's an idea! My wife's crafty, too. I should send her to welding class!When I was 18 years old, I worked for Chicago Bridge and Iron as a welder's assistant. But, I didn't last long enough on the job to ever learn to weld. Instead, I spent most of my time trying to learn how not to fall off the steel It's a wonder I survived that job.
Richard III Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Would it be posssible for you to post sumthing on how you did this
