Product is great and video is well made. I appreciate how you started your video: no intro, no subscribe bs! First thing we saw was a great demo of the end result. Thank you!
Yes, this IS nice, (to see the end result before you build something, ) since RUclips is bad to cover up the last part of your video with pop-ups advertising the next video, they want you to watch, and covers up the video's finalie. Whoever came up with THAT goofball idea needs to be fired!.
fantastic - I would have put 3 coats of poly on the wood. I love polyurethane.
👍
You know… now that I think about it. I’ve never hit the subscribe button because a RUclipsr is asking for it. I always subscribe purely on how much I enjoy the content and if I can see myself watching said specific channel in the future.
@@JohnRaySalazar Zactly. You'd think they'd realize how sick and fkn tired people are of hearing them cry for likes and subs. I said if I ever get in gear and start a channel, it'll be the LAST thing I do.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I love videos like this... no BS intro and endless talking...just straight to the building.. creative people who are builders and mechanical, don’t need anything but straight to the point. Thank you
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ AMEN
I seldom comment on these DIY videos, but I was compelled to drop in and say that the drive system for this device is a stroke of genius. I can see countless uses for it in manufacturing. Well done.
It almost looks like the inverse of the tape feed of a vcr player. Not quite, but it feels like some inspiration must have been taken. Not trying to rubbish on the video, it's definitely genius, I'm just trying to guess what might have inspired it.
Would be amazing in a dryer, but lets face it they haven't elevated anything on their product other than the price in like 4 decades lol.
You would be amazed what kind of machines exist in a professional production environment.
I'd even go as far to assume this design might have been inspired by a more complex and more elaborate production machine.
Nonetheless, for home use (like tidying up desk cableing) this is actually a great idea
Reminds me of back when dual drive extruders weren't the standard in hobby 3d printers, found an extruder with a very similiar drive system on thingiverse

I have zero need for a wire wrapping machine but this video was absolutely great. Lots of DIY information packed in a short 8 minute video. Thank you for sharing with us.
Suggestion: If you add a guide to centre the cable firmly and increase the rotational friction on the tape holder, you can use this to wrap cables tightly.

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Repent, I shall repent, Relent, I shall relent, worship........hahahahaha!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ I think you may have lost your way, maybe a famous XYZ Hamster channel would be a more appropriate place for your advice 🤣
Nobody is commenting on the awesome fact you've made your own drill press, router, and table saw all from first principles. Incredible stuff
The reason nobody is commenting on that stuff is because the video is not about how he made his own tools, it’s about the wire wrapping machine. If people want to give him kudos for his saw, and so on, they’d do it on the video were he made those tools.
I am assuming he made those videos because this is first of his videos I have seen. Speaking of… there might also be a lot of other people who’s this video is the first or they have watched his entire channel yet. (No, I do not know if you have watched his entire channel or not. I am over exaggerating.)
And what the heck are first principles? Do you mean basic principles?
@@kelvinelrick807 did chatgpt write this?
@@satyris410 No. Who’s chatgpt? And, you haven’t answered my “first principles” question yet.
@@satyris410 someone's knickers are in a right old fankle, huh?
@@marcoantonio078 I thought Kelvin's answer was spot on - logical and to the point without being rude.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
I used to make harnesses for Locomotives and I used Tyraps to hold the harnesses together. I would have LOVED to have one of these. It would have made the cabinets look a lot better. They STILL looked nice, but with "trees" of the same color wire with branches of wire coming off, all the loops balanced, & tied together with Tyraps. It was beauty when you got done with it.
That drive "mechanism" is genius for it's simplicity. I also love your method for cutting out circles with a router, again simple but very effective. The only thing that would improve on an already excellent idea is a way of getting a bit more tension on the tape, winding the bundle more tightly.
Make the bolt holding the tape roll longer. Add a small spring and washer between the nut and tape roll. Loosen/tighten the nut to change the tension. Like a packaging tape dispenser.
I was thinking the same thing. There would be two possibles ways to do it, one would be to elongate the motor mounting setup, the other and probably easier way is to have and adjustable idler pulley on the belt. For the tape, use a wingnut to adjust the tape tension.
Every once in awhile, YT pitches this to me for a rewatch and I always do, as someone who's wrapped their fair share of wiring harnesses, this is super satisfying.
Уважаемый мастер - это потрясающе!
Очень понравилась работа с фрезером и линейкой- направляющей.
Не знал, что можно так круги вырезать.
👍👍👍
фиерично...
Ооо. ребята. Отличная штука.
Всю авто косу так можно замотать.
Вообще, первым такую штуку сделал мужик на Ютубе с ником "Китай Г", он его изолентером назвал)
Well done, sir! There is nothing like seeing an idea become a plan and then to bring it to fruition. Now, if I had my way as a lady, I’d sit down and paint the wood in popular 70’s colors! Add so whimsy to it. That’s just me. I really admire you!
Excellent video, I love that you did a demo first with no introduction, annoying music or follow/like/subscribe mentions. Amazing tool too.
I love the router base and using the drill bit as a guide pin is brilliant. I have that same trim router & a scrap of plexiglass in my shop, I know what my next project will be.
Very cool project. Years ago I programmed an automated version where the head (like what you built) was mounted on an XYC gantry. It wrapped insulating tape around large generator coils.
Functional, portable and good looking. You checked all the boxes with this one. Well done. New sub here.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to be making a 3D printable version of this thing. That's freaking awesome!
The only one thing i would add is a support tables (or at least one on the right side) so you can keep your hand more steady while it spins around. Great job! I like it.
I don't even need a wire wrapping machine, but this build was so clean and no nonsense, I watched the whole thing! Beautiful!
Brilliant design and execution. If I ever need one, this will be my go to source for how to get it done.
Your product came out great. The aesthetics came out great. Suggestion: The clicking from the opening, where the open circle meets back with the first bearing, maybe more of an angle would quiet it some
That DIY setup works better than some of the industrial ones I have seen at factories. Also, it looks a lot safer.
It would be great if you added a parts list! I can use this machine to help me make cotton covered wires, for making old fashioned crystal receivers.
I to would like part details and dimensions besides the 6mm acrylic!
Crystal radios had cotton covered wires? I remember "Marconi in a Box", a kit I got as a prize in Boy Scouts..
Guys, it’s rather easy to figure out what you need for this project. If you can’t just by watching this video then it probably isn’t the type of project you should attempt unsupervised 💁♂️ it’s one of those things that you make to fit your needs and the hardware that is available to you. It could be as big or as small as you need it to be.
Sorry but my native language is not english so I have a hard time finding parts online. Some help would be apreaciated.
@@FireCrowsWorkshopYou said what I was thinking rather nicely, aside from the "supervised" part. I can imagine some people attempting this and "winding up" all wrapped up like a mummy, murmering "mmmellp! Momeone mlease melp me!!" through a mouthful of tape, unable to reach the phone with their arms taped to their sides.. A parts list would be nice I suppose, like the speed controller, but nothing in my junk pile has p/n's and my first thought is "what trash do I have that I can make this from" and I'm gonna make it 120v anyway, which I'd image would be most people's preference.
Forget the wire harness thing; I’m diggin that plastic router plate! Great idea with that. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Great video! This just gave me inspiration to make a double sided one with fishing-line that double wraps looms much like back in the 70s.
Удивительно! Посмотрел видео даже не для того, чтобы сделать такую же машину, а для того, чтобы увидеть множество ловких приемов обработки материалов. Спасибо!
Да и приятно посмотреть на аккуратную работу.
Very good!! A component list would be a wonderful addition.
Idea: add some kind of sensor / switch that the stop is always in the loading posistion. Nice build!
Good job, mate, cheers! I'm just glad it doesn't need a turbo-encabulator. They've been in low supply during the pandemic, so I try to avoid using them in my builds whenever I can...
Обожаю видосы, где люди предлагают и показывают как из подручных средств сделать нужную вещь
То есть циркулярка с подвижным столом ручной фрезер и сверлилка это по вашему подручные средства??
нужная вещь? устройство перемотки нескольких проводов? серьёзно?
@@Zirrex1 без циркулярки не сделать несколько пропилов в фанере и пластике? :))
Автор сделал аккуратно и тем, что у него есть.
Awesome design and thanks for the parts list in the description... is there any chance you could provide the template for the acrylic and wooden structures? I would love to make this at home! Thanks :)
As a former car audio installer, this definitely speaks to me. Cool device.
We are out there! This was the first thing I thought of as well. Wish I had a big brain moment like this when I was in the industry.
Thank you for showing the device working at the beginning. Excellent video
Okay, I manage a prototype harness shop and am a wiring harness nerd, and now I have to build one of these. Great work.
I worked in a factory that produced harnesses for Ford & Chrysler and the industrial version of this has a couple of things that make the finished product look even better. A wide rubber belt on the output side that pulls the harness. The operator just puts end on that belt and holds it down with a flat hand and let the adjustable belt speed do the work of coordinating wrap speed, harness diameter and overlap of the tape. The tape holder needs to be at a small angle to help make the tape lay without wrinkles. The tape used was vinyl harness wrapping tape commonly used on auto wiring. It has no adhesive and is secured by a few wraps of friction tape at the ends. That method retains flexibility that adhesive tape won't allow.
@@108gk Great insight into the commercial side of things. Thank you.
Dude this is actually really cool. I work in electronics and wiring manufacturing and most of my projects are mil spec stuff and call for braided loom for just about every wiring harness I build, HOWEVER for home projects or hobby work this is ingenious. I could definitely put this to use on a lot of things. Nice work and thanks for the content man! 👍
Not really a one for commenting but I like the simplicity of the build and its functionality. Well done good sir.
I got a quote from tapix for their manual winder and it was $700. Thus is so awesome. Thank you!
Taking some deep cuts w/ that trim router. That little thing is a beast.
Great for building wire harnesses for cars! Great device!
This reminds me of a Robopac Compacta 4 we have at our shop. It does a similar thing except it with stretch wrap to wrap things that go through it.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado maestro, para hacer mangueras de cables muy compactas y ordenadas, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👍🤓😜
Вот бы тебе этим проектом голову замотать лентой....
you just have to love this.....well done, love that jig for the mill...this is RUclips at its best.
I made wiring looms in the late 80's. Your machine is faster than I was, but, about 60% of the speed of the best tapers we had. A good work-around though.
The stretch and wrap non-adhesive vinyl stuff would be a problem on your rig though. You'd have to change the gearing and ad a holder to keep a tight tension on the harness. Very doable.
this is the most simple wrapping\strapping machine I've ever seen!!
so those who want bigger will just have to adjust the measurements\calculations.....
I am sure you will refine this design so congratulations on this working prototype!
Very cool, It needs a tapered roller (vshaped) in the back to help funnel the cables a little easier for you.
I'll tell you what . Alot of DIY stuff on this you tube is crap . This I say is excellent. High quality workmanship 👍
One of the best DIY videos. İnteresting, engaging, clean, creative, and educational. Yet, all for nothing 😁
I can see this being useful for automotive harness builds 💁♂️ household use, like with cables shown in the video - not so much
The project itself is really cool, relatively easy to do and gets the job done. Well made video to go with that. However... I can't say that I'd ever use something like this. While it's SUPER clean looking, my desk wiring needs to be redone far too frequently to want to spend all that time unwrapping wires.
Great video that shows the power of a hand held router!
Thanks
More than device itself, i enjoyed process of creating device, and interesting method of using tools I already have.
Great work. Nice video.
Quick tip, not sure if you did this or not, but wood glue is *much* stronger if you clamp the pieces together while it cures.
I love your ingenuity, the only thing that, I think can improve it, is to make it foldable so it can be put in carrying case. This way a cable installer can produce beautiful cabling . Such as audio cables, tv cables etc. Such a tool is good in a shop, and would be great if it can be easily carried around...
I've done m'cycle harnesses for many years , while they're not so complicated - this tool would've saved time on the main trunk - in holding the pesky snake down to finish the rest ! I am going to pass this on - I ' Retired ' as they say ! Thanks !!!
Well done! I used to use one of these years ago.
Now that I like !
Simple but bloody effective !!
Comment joindre l'utile à l'agréable, merci pour cette excellente vidéo qui sort des sentiers battus ! Vous forcez l'admiration.
Great works done with various valuable skills ❤ Learned a lot thanks
Now to find a way to add tension to the wrap. As is, it is a bit on the loose side but still functional. Maybe a longer bobbin bolt with spring tension on the bobbin.
For a bench unit, the C opening isn't really necessary, BUT stick a handle to that, or make it a cordless drill attachment and you can wrap cables in situ ^^
Beautiful idea, and certainly allows for enhancements. Grateful for sharing.
I edited my comment just to say I watched it again and again. Amazing idea mate. Cheers.
beautiful work! a few years ago I made a kind of machine for insulating cables with a diameter of 100 mm. good luck
Very cool, I like how it is belt driven.
Great device mate!! Great work. Makes wrapping wiring easy.
Превосходно! Использовать ременной привод - гениально!
Looking at this machine it seems so obvious. Well done 👍
Perfecto. Muy bueno el invento. Una aportación que quizás funcione: si redondeas un poco las puntas del corte del anillo, la entrada a las poleas no hará ese golpe que se oye. Gracias por la idea y por el video 👌
I suggest adding a worm spring and a friction disc fixed onto the nut at 7:22, to adjust the tension of wraping tape
Beautiful tool. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Ahhh ha! I knew I had just seen this somewhere other than RUclips but couldn't remember where.
Excellent! Simple but very effective. Can also be used with plastic wrapping (non sticky), for easy loom disassembly when needed.
Never thought I'd see someone actually build one of Mr. Innovative's projects

Excelente. Saludos desde Mendoza Argentina 🇦🇷
Oh snap. I just realized it did say DIY wire harness wrapping machine. Man, that’s freakin brilliant!
Naturalmente se puede montar un carrete de hilo grueso en vez de cinta aislante o esparadrapo.
Magnífico trabajo.
Excellent product and presentation!! Any description of components you used ?
You sir are genius!!! Beautiful work brother 👍👍
@@Welldonetips. Haha yeah ok just pay the shipping label and you will never receive anything hahaha 😂 nice try!!! I've been scammed already fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!!!
Where did you get the 3D printed item files? The battery and tape holder. Can you give specifics on plastic piece thickness and the screws/nuts used. Also can you post the printer accessories used. belt length and controller details. Great job on this.
Muito bem feito 👏👏👏👏 parabéns
Nice device. Now to make a wire loom tape remover 🤔.
A portable hand held one would be handy for on site taping.
Just make a second one that is a mirror image. Set them beside each other and you can wrap and unwrap at the same time. 😂
Great video on thinking outside the box. Could a request for a parts list be made? I want to duplicate and maybe expand on this concept. Thank you and keep them coming.
Also those saw cuts are beautiful i hate the lack of precision with woodworking
Had been looking for this system for ages thanks man, although what I am planning to make is four time bigger than this.
Absolutely brilliant...
They want a pretty penny for a bought one...but this, I can make...
This is what Popular Mechanics used to be. Bravo!
If you've only got one cable to wrap it's a waste lol. If you'd have many, it's a life saver. Well made! Cheers.
Suggestion:
for more flexibility of the cable strand it is possible to twist the wires before winding the ribbon around
Very cool! This would certainly be a useful tool, thanks for sharing🛠
I once made a bespoke loom for a kit car. When I hand wrapped it, I found that conventional insulating tape made the loom very inflexible. Factory looms used a very low-tack tape with ends secured by stickier tape or even blobs of glue. Tha same principle may apply with this magical machine.
Seen others post asking for the parts list… please do post it! I would love to build this!
That’s really awesome 👏 and beautiful job 👍
Parabéns a idéia é maravilhosa..
Muito bom seu projeto amigo. Tá de parabéns pelo profissionalismo! . Ficou muito legal mesmo. Parabéns!!
Overall, this is a highly informative and enjoyable video for anyone interested in engineering. It showcases your talent and expertise while providing valuable insights and inspiration to fellow enthusiasts. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future 👍👍👍
No one needs this machine 😅
Best in all technical idea in DIY till today.
Muchas gracias for the great idea and execution. Молодец ваще.
Ótimo trabalho 👏 sucesso aí irmão 🤜🤛
My first thought would be to feed the wires at an angle for a smoother wrap. Eventually, add a split guide/rest to hold the wires for a tighter wrap.
I really like the idea!! And great build, props to the creator!! But I would like to see an option with more tension if that makes sense? Like if I'm using electrical tape I really like to get shit tight on the wires so I dont have much chance of it unwrapping. Any ideas or suggestions?
Even with the current state of the wrapper it could be used for a lot of things, you ever see those asian factory videos where they have basically a huge version of this that they use to wrap an entire box in tape, like this could be used for alot more than just harness wraps with a few changes. Even just this version could be used for things like friction tape on hockey sticks.
I do this by hand quite often, i like to use plastic tape first so i can make the bundles nice and tight, then go over it with fabric tape, I'm going to build this.
Great innovation. Thanks for sharing 🙂🙂🙂
