having like a half hour to play around every night i went ahead and welded up
took some all thread cut it cut it doesn't matter what size you use the middle long as it's dead
center and you can sit there and thread on this old piece right here twist it on down
these two are locked together this is going to have to be greased here and here and here
that's okay that's basically the coil winder did some welding here if you could make one
and go faster and uh ahead of me that's uh if you can go uh ahead of me and do things
i feel more than free to sorry about that nasty looking welds there but their work anyway so i got
this the reason why i'm doing this right this has to be exact these coils don't fit you just wasted
a bunch of wire and time so anyway i got some steadier stouter material wouldn't last in the
rain or anything fall apart it's just basically a bunch of cardboard all pressed together
i forget what they call that board but it's not plywood i'm going to use these for the two
sides so it's still going to use this uh poplar here i'm real glad i planed that much of it out
good
okay so i sharpened my bit and i've got everything as i turn this i see
everything is inside the lines now how am i going to make sure
that what happens over here is going to be exact to this where it matches up well if this is where
i put the points and that's the measurement well we're going to flip that over and drill
out here i kind of deburred this with a pair of scissors just going around in a circle like this
but that's trivial
okay i said well why use this when i already have holes here these ones be my guides and i relocated
these ones i'll just grind everything in between here and here and here often i have my piece
so anyway i've got those ones done and time to transfer them to this one there we go i've
driven the center pin all the way through and there she is on the other side now drill one
of these holes transfer a peg drill another hole transfer peg and finish it up okay and if you see
on the edges here you could see a little bit of shadow where the edges stick up i stick the knit
scissors in the hole just go around one nice little circle deburrs and cuts all of that off
too simple don't have to change the don't have to change the chuck or nothing
i might as well do this one too won't hurt the project now all this will slap together
we're ready to wind some coils weha and there's my centerpiece here uh
for the inside of the coil you notice no wood left on the corners because that's where the pins are
gonna ride let's slap it together and see how it looks okay and there we are all slapped together
i'll leave this on these are double nutted for tight and i've got this screwed up against this
as hard as i can it's also threaded because i had to force it on i also forced this one on and i
twisted these towards each other so this really doesn't turn i might throw a little bit of uh
jb weld or something inside the threads and slap them back on again but this piece here i want to
go ahead and glue that to this i might even use uh i might even use a drywall stinger and
get that tapped in there i want this piece to stay here this piece here i want to be able to
just go ahead and screw right off and i'm going to put a wing nut here
and that should take care of it and yes the pins do slide out they slide out nicely all of them
so anyway many good things to you and yours i'll see you on the winding table another
thing i want to do here is this is going to be on the outside of the table this is going
to be over the table so i want to put one more piece this way and i think i just might screw it
to this desk because basically it's my choice and the top of my desk is made out of plywood
i always put another layer on there if i want many good things to use this right here is my
wire it's 18 gauge 200 degrees celsius double enameled 18 gauge wire copper has set into
the drill press and to adjust the tension you just raise the table until you get the right
you
