That’s a *proper* let down 😂 I remember unwinding a big one as a kid, letting it slowly creep out the barrel. Needless to say it escaped my grip and the barrel shot across the room, snapping the end off the spring as it went! Thanks, great vid!
Good video, but do look after and care more for your bare hands as I feel that you are taking too many unnecessary risks with your bare skin as a friction pad. The oil/lacquer situation reminded me of a colleague of mine who never wrote labels on bottles and he mistook acetone for water with which he tried to cool a small weld run. He was very lucky indeed. Please be careful when you manipulate using bare hands. Thanks for the video.
