I tried getting on my rig Sunday, but my drill will not let go of the bit thatā€™s in there currently. I canā€™t get it to release its grip, starting to wonder if this old thing has met its final days.:cry:

Might be looking into a dremel soon.:sunglasses:

my drill motor wouldnā€™t run, the light would turn on but not spinā€¦ so i charged it and it worked.

try charging the battery then try releasing the drill bit. :joy: :wink:

I know itā€™s not Sunday, but Iā€™m about to spin up some polyester core Cotten coated string. Itā€™s just thread I found in our sewing supplies.

Itā€™s the best way to have a better understanding. You donā€™t learn much when things go right all the time.

I believe itā€™s called experience.:wink:

i crapped out a Nylon string today, was able to save most of it and it was close to the bearing so it didnā€™t matter. Still sad though.
Edit: i meant to say crapped up but iā€™m gonna say i crapped it out. :joy:

I made another attempt. Failed again. I think itā€™s because Iā€™m using this new string. Not to blame it or anything lol. Iā€™m gonna eat a smoothie and then come back to it.

So I successfully did one, but I only got to do 6 passes because I ran out of thread of this color. It was a tiny spool so I blame it on the spool lol.

Yes each pass is twisted. Iā€™m using the reduction of each pass as a variable in an attempt to make a springy product but not to much torsion.

Not enough reduction on the first onešŸ˜‰
