The Secret Life of components. A series of eight guides for designers and makers by Tim Hunkin

Tim Hunkin of The Secret Life of Machines fame is making a new set of videos showing how various components work.

Series Introduction

Chain and Belts

The chain and belts video doesn’t include anything on Making custom length timing belt loops. He does have a nice technique using a copper bushing for joining belts to minimize length for loops that are fixed to a driven component, however.

What category do we have for cool how-to stuff like this?

Great and informative set of videos!

@HalfNormal shall we move this to your toolbox? :smiling_face:

I am always happy to have great contributions to the toolbox!
