Brilliant, but a pity it won't work for multi strand claptons (like the fused clapton or the caterpillar track clapton)

that there is some genius

I'd like to test an idea i have with the Kuro winding tool.

It has a removable shaft right, so why not replace the said 'shaft' with a kanthal strand you intend using as a core for the clapton build?

Maybe someone could try it out and report back so that my moment of genius may be confirmed


Edit: You would have to drill the top cap hole, all the way through for it to work though

TBH, i think it'd be less effort to load the core wire into a drill, then you have a lot less hassle wrapped the shell wire.

Agreed, the drill will be faster, its just an idea that i think would work... 'slowly' but none the less, you know, for shits and giggles

Load the core into the drill chuck and use one of those knitting machine needles to hold the outer wire in place. One could easily make a custom needle using a thinner copper pipe, if a larger hole for the core is needed.

Another nugget, that may or may not be useful to somebody... just rolled my first reasonably neat clapton... I found going faster on the drill, was easier than going slower

Awesome find. And really smart idea. I'll give it a try just to see if it's really that simple and effective

Pretty nifty idea.
