Ha! I have no problem using a cake mix.
Warped minds think alike!
Really, I wouldnāt make them without the jig. I know the hard core builders scoff at it, but it works for me! Almost makes me look like I know what Iām doingā¦
Which cracks me up! I mean yeah, be proud of your skills if you have em, but if the end result of doing it the easy way is just as good as doing it the hard way, Iām all about short cuts!
If I tried to do them without the jig, the result of the hard way would look more like an apartment for a hummingbird than a Clapton coil. So yeah, easy way all day.
Yeahā¦ the result of me attempting to make claptons is usually a pile of tangled wires and my kids asking why Iām yelling āfuck!ā so muchā¦
Only issue Iāve had with the Daedalus is sometimes the little part with the Clapton wire hangs up on the table and the wrap gets hosed. I fixed that by putting a hot wheel under it so it rolls along like a boss. No further issues since the hot wheel mod.
Thatās hilarious! I can see it now. Great simple fix. I use mine on a stainless steel table so there isnāt much friction. You just made me think of something though. Iāll bet a thin piece of UHMD under wire pallet wound make it slide even better. Hmmmmmmā¦
I gave up on kanthal Claptons after doing a side by side vs twisted ss316L, seems I get way better flavor, but I also havenāt tried to make a Clapton with ss yetā¦
SS is cleaner but I canāt get the coil I want due to the low resistance of SS. Maybe someday Iāll play with more different gauges and IDās but for now, idleness sets in.
Psstā¦ Get something with a series deck
ā¦On my very favorite and irreplaceable atty!
Yeahā¦I get that.
I make a lot of claptons with stainless. Using simple claptons TCR values for SS work great with TC. Sometimes I do have to go as small as dual core 30g +36g wrap to get some resistance.
Iāve just been so happy with twisted variations I havenāt even tried lol although I did wonder if it would still work with tc, I have a dna 200 and when I twist different gauges together or try to run parallel coils with different gauges it doesnāt quite hit right in tc
Yup, that will throw things off. The dna will do great with 2 x (Whatever SS the same) + (SS whatever).
Awwww. So close. Great pun averted by ātypoā.
āWrapped minds think alike!ā
Funniest thing Iāve read in a while! Rofl
Big Fudge!
Dear, you made a Celtic Knotā¦donāt you see that? It even looks good as a wedding bandā¦
Now quickā¦call it the VM Celtic Knot coil, make a YT video and get your name out there before some other YTer does and takes credit for it!!!
Nice work!!
