Okay first of all , YOURE AMAZING. I’ve been wanting a custom carbon fiber steering wheel for my car but the prices are like $600-$1600. I have a Honda I’m not paying that LOL. Now I’ll be able to do it myself. You deserve a million subscribers. Wish you a very prosperous 2020. Tomorrow I’m going to the junkyard and getting a second steering wheel 🦾
Thank you so much.
I have a lot of courage and hope in your comments.
I will make good videos !!
I hope you will make good carbon fiber steering wheel!
If you have any question, please comment.
Thank you for watching.
ECO-LAP Studio I’m sure I will have questions so thank you. I saw your other video on how to fix carbon fiber when it gets damaged. Glad to know you are safe and well 🤘🏽💪💪
@@afrazbhatti1162 did you do the steering wheel?
i agree with you broo.... carbon fiber custom parts is carzy expensive..... i have a bmw too and i wanted to change some parts with carbon fiber. now, i can save a lot of money cuz of you (ECO -LAP Studio) and get started making my own carbon fiber custom parts... respect for you bro...
For any one starting carbon work and is serious in it take a few extra bucks and buy a inexpensive vac pump and some bagging materials along with some release film. This will make your work much easier. For very complex parts that you are trying to laminate to a little cheat trick is wet down the surface first with epoxy and wait until its very tacky then apply cloth. This will keep the inside corners or wrap in place. Some beginners use a very light coat of 3m spray adhesive and stick cloth to that then wet down with epoxy. When i first started I did a few boat hulls this way and it actually worked very well.
To ECO LAB thanks for your dedication and hard work. I know first hand its not easy to du these tasks let alone recording step by step. Hope you are safe and well thanks.
Great job man! Wish you had shown the final product up close at the end tho.
He doesnt want to show up, how bad it looks...🤣
Kolour Blind Yo acabo de hacer mi volante y bueno... aun que me sirvio de ayuda, en cuanto haces uno siguiendo sus pasos ves que no queda bien. Los pasos a seguir son muy muy diferentes por lo que he aprendido en el mio. Si llego a lijar la fibra quedaria muy feo una vez acabado). Y al no lijar la primera capa correctamente contrastaria mucho la zona que no se lijo y la que si. Y posiblemente se note la cinta al final. A parte, la ultima capa tampoco la lija ni la pule y eso hace que no quede liso tambien.
Un consejo. No usen cinta y lijen entre todas las capas por que si no deslamina
The finishing look shitty that's why he did not show you! 😂
@@kobotherobohobo you're a moron dude. He did remove the shrink wrap and it definitely did it's job. Too bad you don't have the balls to ever accomplish this.
Ppl who wants to see the final results check the pic before u click on the video
Ordinary chaps like me working 17 hr a day to pay bills can now afford carbon fiber steering wheel. My friend, I salute you. It was always a dream of mine to do something like this and now you teach me. My wallet and my car salute you again.
Hello, Buddy.
Your praise pleases me so much.
I will make a more wonderful and enjoyable video.
Please look forward to it.
Thank you for watching.
Please upload some videos where you introduce us to the methods and tools required to work with carbon fiber( for beginners who want to get into it). That would be very helpful.
all that work and we couldnt even see the finish product!
because the finished product was ass... you could tell that the thickness was never gonna match when you put leather back on the steering wheel... he did do good job too bad he missed one crucial part of making it well
@@e36fanatics Super late question, but what would've you done in that situation for it to not look like that
@@thepiggydiggy6294 more layers of carbon fiber to level it up with alcantara
Wth, no showcase of the actual steering wheel
I know right.
I know right.
그 러니 까요.
I know!!! The entire purpose of the video, what a fail lol
Didnt work out
Amazing video 👌🏼 fun to watch .. but i just wish we could see the results more
Hi friend!
I'm sorry, The editing was a little bad.
I will try your opinion.
Please, Lookfoward to next video.
Thanks for watching.
Yes, I wish I could see more detail and close ups of everything more. On the other hand you did an amazing job ! Kudos. It turned out awesome. I guess I didnt realize how easy it is to make stuff from carbon fiber.
I have 1 question. Can you see the edges of that shrink film still? I assume danding took care of them but I was just curious.
Don't know what is better. The way you made your steering wheel, or the kind of that clip!!! Anyway....both fantastic.
재능을 진짜 구라안치고 심각하게 낭비하시는거같습니다 .
대한민국은 이런 인재를 뽑아가야지 뭐한답니까
The shrink film is a good idea, way easier then my vacuum bagging.
theres multiple points in the build process that other makers would have called it good. but you kept going. thats true dedication.
ASMR + carbon fiber fabrication is something I never knew I needed until now. Thank you. Most of your videos are fairly recent so I hope your channel blows up and gets the popularity it deserves for such pleasant videos. Would you mind sharing the link to the blue hand pump you use in some of your projects? With the little white connector? Thank you
Hello, Buddy!
Thank you so much.
The pumps and vacuum bags I use are for clothes and food.
I make carbon fiber as one that is readily available.
I think you can get it easily.
I'm will make a fun and informative video.
Stay tuned to my channel.
Thank you for watching.
@@ECOLAPStudio ah okay so clothing storage pumps. I recognized the food saver bags. Very clever. Your content is great and I wish you the best.
WOW!!!!!! you have my greatest gratitude. You have inspired me to wrap the wing on my Porsche 991 turbo. You have saved me tens of thousands of dollars with your videos. Thank you very much.
Your craftsmanship is top notch!
Great work ,just wished you showed more on how the m sticking was done
I have never seen someone sand by hand so fast. This man has skills
the fact you don't show off the finish tells us all we need to know about the final product
Can you do a video showing how to flat bottom a steering wheel? Great work by the way!
Who da f**k is hitting unlike on this diy. Enjoy the video, this guy is doing something he loves and sharing it with us. Hope you get more subscribers. 👍
Hello, Buddy!

Hi! Found your channel looking for BMW M4 content and carbon! 😆 Seat backs have been done, but ive always wanted a carbon version of the seat fold-forwards handle and trim around it.... For a future vid? 🤓
I watch this video without background music and i loved that
! 감사합니다! (제 아내는 한국인입니다) You were able to get me past 'over thinking' putting Carbon Fiber on a custom wheel I am fabricating!
The end of video make me laugh lol.. its very funny
Hello, Buddy!
Thank you for watching.
I will make more funny and informational video.
Thank you!!
정말 멋진 영상입니다. 저도 차를 좋아하는 사람으로 제 차의 파츠를 이렇게 만들어보고 싶네요...
As an instructional video, pretty good.
For entertainment, a little disappointing since we basically didn't get a final product shot...the last 3 cuts were super fast and none showed the whole finished wheel.
Watch How It's Made. They are the masters of this type of editing.
Awesome video! I’m currently doing mine. But where do you find the shrink film at ? The ones Im finding people are telling me it’s not the same as what you are using
Carbon wrapped wheel. I was excited thinking this was going to actually be a full carbon wheel 🤣 perfect for people who just want the carbon look I guess
Ya my thought exactly, full wheel takes A LOT more time and materials, probably a good weeks worth of time for showroom quality.
It's still better than using "carbon" wrap
Full carbon wheel
great job let's make steering wheel with forged carbon fiber I've already made some parts following your videos
Shrink wrap is a genius idea. I’ve tried to do this with adhesive, but the shrink wrap will give a much better result. 👍🏻
YellowDieselGolf did he peel the shrink wrap off or sanded it off
Top stuff man. Especially the final part. Love your sense of humor.
wtf. You made it look so easy. nice video
First steering Wheel vid on youtube and you killed it! Love it man. Cant wait to see more
Hello, Buddy!
Thanks for the compliment.
I will try to make more enjoyable and informative videos.
Thank you for watching.
Please look forward to the next video!
Fun to watch. Took a lot of guts I think. Well done.
Блин обожаю смотреть твои видео !!!! В движении рук есть некий юмор )))))!!!! За одно учусь ,так сам на стадии всего этого дела !!! Если можно будет получать от вас консультации ,буду очень рад !!!!
New found respect for CF. Wow.
Great job , can we get these epoxy resins and other materials here in India . Anyone commenting from India please help
100% my new favourite channel
Amazing video 👌🏼
I love that who ever makes these videos intentionally makes them ASMR videos. Awesome. lol
Please do another steering tutorial. We know maybe the end product wasn’t like you thought it would turn out. How about doing a redemption? We would all like to learn how to make these
lol that ending is perfect
Innnn...INNNNN...INNNN (Bmw sounds)... weooo...weoOO... WEOOO (police sounds) 🤣🤣🤣
well tech, pro skill, fact, and a lot fun :) thnk you bro.
Hi. Great work! A have two questions about wheel laminating:
1. Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber?
2. What about steering wheel heater which was integrated into leather cover?
Hello, Buddy!
I'm sorry i can't speak english well
"Please show us how to align two edges of the carbon fiber?" I couldn't quite understand this meaning.
The steering wheel heater has been removed.
I thought it would be possible to transplant the genuine cover heat into new leather.
However, I didn't think it was necessary.
The genuine BMW Alcantara steering wheel has no heater.
I hope you helpful.
You're so amazing. Nice video....hope i also can do it myself
Look up easy composites do a TH-cam search they Ave some cool videos they show you how to do this as well as how to make custom parts,hoods off of original parts and how to make plugs for molds learned alot form there channel wish they only had more content
They got a video on steering wheels too?
Great video. I was wondering how to wrap the parts with carbon and make it have a nice touching point when both ends touch. Did you simply overlap them and then sand the extra?
How do you keep the carbon from distorting its weave, biggest help is the gel?
After you remove the heatshrink and start sanding isn't there exposed carbon that you damage since there isn't much resin?
Thank you.
Hello, buddy!!
Thanks for the comment.
I think your questions are very important and good.
First, as you say, I think the important thing in carbon fiber overlap cutting is to keep carbon fiber patterns.
I used spray adhesives to solve the problem.
Using a spray adhesives can keep the carbon fiber patterns.
But, You have to use minimum amount because if you use too much spray adhesives, surface is not clean.
Other methods include applying epoxy resins and then cut after half cured.
But I think it is a hassle way.
And then in the first sanding,It exactly damaged to the carbon fiber cloth.
However, if you minimize the damage and then apply epoxy resin, the damage is indistinguishable from the eyes.
Sanding to the extent that carbon fiber patterns are not damaged is be okay.
The important thing is keeping the pattern of carbon fiber.
I am worried you will can't understand my meaning because I am not good at English.
I hope you helpful.
If you have more question, please reply.
Thank you for watching.
@@ECOLAPStudio can you actually use poly gel coat, not epoxy?
I used epoxy gelcoat and epoxy resin.
I've used polyester resins, but It is not as strong as epoxy resins.
So most of the work uses epoxy.
@@ECOLAPStudio man can u give me the link where can I buy the shrink tape?
You need to create steering wheel wrap ASMR videos!!
In the video description can you please add Amazon links to the materials used , I'd really like to give this project a go
Awesome! Makes me want to quit my I.T. job and become a composite lay-up tech again. LOL.
would you be able to share with me where you buy your supplies.. like liners, CF cloths, backs and the little pump... this is so inspirational...

The ending music was great.
LOL. Working on my third attempt. Wrapping the wheel with the carbon fiber is the most difficult part. I will try again tonight...
Third ... T.T
Yes, it is very difficult to attach carbon fiber to the steering wheel.
This is because the length of the steering wheel arc is different from top and bottom.
You have to remember it.
and It is important to cut the carbon fiber cloth.
I hope your work will be well.
nampak senang hehe
Good job!!! Thanks for your video!!!
I thought you were going to make the cast molding of the entire thing back and front and then piece it together.

Is it mandatory the first layer of gel coat ? I don t find only on high quantity.
This isn’t real carbon fiber correct? It’s just a wrap?

Te felicito por el video , un trabajo de muchisima calidad sin duda.¿Que cinta termica has usado (shink film)?
Hello, Buddy!
I don't think that most heat shrinkable films are very different.
However, It is not necessary to use a heat shrink film.
You can meticulously attach the carbon fiber.
I hope you helpful.
@@ECOLAPStudio Thank you very much for the information, I appreciate your help and I would like you to show us how to make the front boot door in carbon would be a spectacular video! It would be very interesting if you put the links where the materials are purchased please!
Great vid I just wish u slowed it down when applying the carbon fiber since it’s a weird shape. I hope you will do a e brake handle soon
Hello, Buddy!
Thanks for the comments.
I will try to review and apply your comments.
Thanks for watching.
I have a custom F80 wheel with leather on it. It is hard to the touch unlike the OEM BMW. Would I be OK putting the carbon matting directly on top of the leather rather than stripping it off?
Absolutely love your work and dedication .
A possible future project ... Could you do a Carbon fiber motorcycle fuel tank? Specifically a sport bike fuel tank ?
Would love to learn more about making a leak proof carbon fiber container
확실히 필름이랑 느낌이 틀려요 썸네일 사진이 참 영롱하네요
Hi, which kind or carbon fiber do you use and White epoxy? Thanks again from France for your inspiring and amazing work!!!
Hi guy
is the 220 not too hard? there is only one coat of resin, how can you not ruin the Carbon? when I use the 400 I immediately get to the fiber and ruin it
Hello, Buddy!
I didn't sand too hard the first time I sanded.
You must sand the carbon fiber cloth to avoid damaging the pattern.
For the second sanding, apply several layers of epoxy resin and sanding.
At this time, It can sand to a lot of epoxy resin and shape the steering wheel.
Even the sand paper of the P220 can be adjusted according to the strength of the force.
And the scratches on the P220 sandpaper will all disappear after applying epoxy resin.
You should not shape done when first sand.
The second sand is very important.
I hope you helpful.
Great job 💪💪 whats the name of that shrink film , tried to find out but dont no where to buy , thanks alot
Very cool! Did you remove the heat shrink film, or are you able to leave it on and epoxy over it? Can you provide a link to the film? I have never seen that product before.
You can see in the video he removes the heat shrink tape lmao
4:24-4:25 you can see it in the top right in the background
So cool to see the production process! Is forged carbon applied the same way? Just bought a custom wheel from Taw Customs for my Audi. Really excited. Great job again!
Hello, Buddy!
Forged carbon fibers aren't too different either.
In order to make forged carbon fiber, compression is required.
Shrink film plays a role.
I hope your work goes well.
Thank you for watching.
Is it possible to do the whole steering wheel with carbon fiber without having the separation for the cloth
Hello, Buddy!
It is also possible.
However, the original steering wheel leather will be damaged.
@@ECOLAPStudio So i have a mk4 jetta steering wheel I was going to try to remove the leather and wrap the entire steering wheel so I should no longer need the leather
Gorgeous great tutorial can you provide us with link to materials needed?

love how this is edited
Vedo che metti i titoli in italiano penso sei italiano, comunque complimenti non pensavo si facessero così gli oggetti in carbonio, davvero complimenti
so you just wedge the fabric into the cuts out you made?

I hope you enjoy this video~
excellent my friend i follow all your videos, excuse me, i have a question, when you put gel coat after carbon fiber do you wait until dry ? then you put resin epoxy, thank you very much best regards from Mexico
Could you tell me where to buy Epoxy Resin & Hardener ( Anti UV Topcoat ? Tank you.
Love it... Makes me want to get mine done!! 😍
I can't find any shrink film around here. Or is to high price. There some other way to make it?
Woooow congratulations, excellent job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 regards brother 🍷
