    In todays video I make a gyro watch winder to keep my automatic watch turning when I am not wearing it. A couple of years ago one of my first projects was a diy gyroscopic watch winder, I made this version to improve on the first one.
    Check the blogpost and plans from the watch winder here:

    The watch winders are not for sale but:

    Curious: do you calculate the system dynamics, etc? I'd be interested in that and design process videos as well as construction!

    The cheapest gyroscopic watch winder available for sale I have seen is over $1,500. It seems you don't sell these, but surely for even a quarter of that price you could have a nice business.

    You can loosen the head of the drill press and turn it 90° so the base won't be in the way of the larger part.

    This is an awesome instructional video, thank you, I plan to give this project a go :) Please don't take this as gratuitous criticism, but I wonder why you set the music track to be louder than the very useful comments you added ? Would it be possible to have some annotations added to your video so that the sound can be muted?

    • @Thepracticalengineer
      @Thepracticalengineer  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Dr Gunsmith, I don't sell kits unfortunately. Simply because I don't have the tools(like a cnc) to make them at a price that seems reasonable. I do have a build plan on my website for this one. www.thepracticalengineer.com

    Painstakingly builds an ugly winder out of wood, and it doesn't work... 3D printer sitting in the background, doing nothing. If you had simply put your watch in the tumble dryer, it would be wound by now.

      It would also look really good if you'd make it out of walnut and oil it. Or a simalar wood.

    • @SenselessUsername
      @SenselessUsername 4 года назад

      If going fancy schmancy, I'd not screw in (what! Goldy screws on black ply!?) but add magnets on the inside of the base & last cover piece, so it's seamless but also can re-open as needed. Or it could be your jewelry hiding place.
