Outstanding job!! 🙌🏽
Thanks!
wow that's an excellent job!!
Thanks!
You did an amazing job thank you for this!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback. 👍🏻
This was awesome! Full of great ideas. I hope I can follow it.
Thanks!
Beautifully made
Thanks!
Well done, I follow what you have done !
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Amazing!!!! Showing my husband now!! Lol
Thanks!
nicely done
Thanks!
Very good
Thank you!
I love your turners!! Thank you for sharing!! How far apart do you space the motors between eachother??
Thank you! The motors are about 6 inches apart. Thanks for watching!
I love this one, so detailed!! May I ask why you didn't add a hinge to the back instead?? That's the only thing I would change incase I need to get to the power supply or change out a motor. Good job!!
Thanks for the compliment. I didn’t bother with a hinge because I figured any maintenance like that would be pretty infrequent so popping the screws out wouldn’t have to happen much. It is a good thought though...so far nothing has given out on it thankfully. 🙂
great design and presentation. Are there plans available?
Thanks for the compliment! I don’t have any plans available...I actually just kind of made it up as I went. Thanks for watching.
Hey,,, love it!!
Is a 5" wire stripper work ok?
Any size twist on wire connectors ok from hyper tough Walmart brand yellow (cpc-32) ? Says on back.
Thanks Dan
Seems like that should work. As long as the wire connectors stay on they should be fine. Like once you twist them on make sure you can’t easily pull them loose. Thanks for watching!
I like the motors being recessed into the wood. I read that they get hot when being used. I assumed that was why most of the diy projects had them mounted on the back and not recessed. Are you experiencing any heat issues?
We’ve had no issues so far. My wife used the turner a lot when I first built it so they were running off and on all day some days and it was never an issue. It doesn’t get used as much now so I can’t say for sure if the longevity of the motors is being affected in any way.
What wood did you use and what measurements please. Also where are the switches from pleassse
I started with a 2ft by 4ft piece of 3/4 plywood and split it in half so the base is 2ft square. I think the piece the motors are mounted on is about 8 1/4 inches tall. I kind of made it up as I went so I don’t have exact measurements. There is a link to the motors in the video description. Thanks for watching!
Great video :) Can I ask what you added to the bottom of the pipes to hold onto the tumblers inside?
Thanks for the compliment. As for holding the tumblers my wife has a few things she uses. Pool noodles of various sizes, small nerf footballs can work. I think they actually sell something on amazon that is a pool noodle type material but is actually made for these cup turners...not sure what they are called though.
@@DanPrudlow Thank you!
How tall are the boards in the middle to hold the pvc pipes up?
Those pieces were cut at 6.25 niches and then I drilled the half hole using a 1.5 inch diameter bit. The part the pipe is resting on is about 5.75 inches off the base. You have to kind of fit these after you mount the motors and stick a pipe on it since you might have to adjust up or down a little to make sure the pipe is level.
What r the measurements? Going to try this
I have the measurements noted in a couple other comments that have asked for them. If you scroll through some you should find them. Thanks!
Great video!! Do you have the measurements for the wood and materials used? Thank you!! 💕
One of the other comment replies has measurements and such. It’s mostly all 3/4 inch plywood.
@@DanPrudlow I respond about your measurements and you want to tear me a new ass. This person respond about your measurements and you just give them some measurements 🤔
This person gave a compliment on the video and asked for the measurements and said thank you before I even provided them. It’s all in the approach my friend.
Hi, what kind of motor did you use? i click the link but have to many types of power?
The link in the video description is the exact motors I used. They come with a cord to plug into a standard 110v outlet...at least in the United States that is.
What size drill bit for the power cord where you ran the switch on top?
I don’t recall exactly, maybe 1/4 inch or 3/8. I made the holes just big enough for the wire to push through. Thanks for watching!
@@DanPrudlow thank you for the quick response. Your video helped me solve a lot of my issues with my wife’s tumbler.
Do you have written instruction or Dimensions I can never get anything to line up correctly
I don’t have instructions but if you look through the comments there are a few of them with basic dimensions listed. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Awesome cup turner. Do you make them for sale?
Thanks for the compliment. I don’t make them to sell. Just made this one because my wife wanted one. Thanks for watching!
What bit did you use to predrill your 1 5/8" screws?
It’s a 9/64 tapered bit with a countersink. I believe I got it at Home Depot as a set of 3 different size bits. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
@@DanPrudlow awesome! Thanks bud, great job by the way.
I like your cup turner, how much space is between each turner?
Thanks! There is another comment with many of the measurements but they are about 7 inches apart.
@@DanPrudlow I'll look for it, thank you.
Awesome job buddy. Did you put that smaller piece of wood directly behind the motors so they would not be pushed into the inside of the box?
Thanks for the compliment. That piece is actually there to hold things after they are taken off the spinner. So if you had a cup that was done spinning but not 100% dry you unscrew the pipe and stand it vertically through the hole in the top and it sits inside on that shelf. Then you can screw a new pipe on the motor to do another cup or whatever. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Thanks , i realized after watching the video again what it was for lol. Thanks for such a quick reply!!
What materials did you use???
3/4 inch plywood for most of it. The clear back is 1/4 inch acrylic and the pvc pipe is 3/4 inch. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
What connector are you using from the motor to connect to the tumbler wands? My build is much messier than this and it's driving me nuts!
I’m using the little couplers that came with the motors...the little brass colored items in this pack. 6PCS Synchronous Motor Turntable Motor 50/60Hz AC100~127V CCW/CW 4W 7mm Flexible Coupling Connector 6ft Power Cord for Cup Turner, Cuptisserie, Tumbler Turner Guide Motor (2.5-3RPM) www.amazon.com/dp/B083XK5GTX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_d1Z.FbVWS31NY. I had to make little wood pieces that I epoxied them into and the epoxied the wood piece into the pvc pipe. Does that help? Thanks for watching!
@@DanPrudlow sheesh you're quick with your replies. My motors did not come with the connectors. I'll see if I can find them individually. Thank you so much! I watched how you created your own connection and used epoxy. I'll see if I can replicate but I don't have the drill press you have. I am quite sure the hubs will not complain that I want more tools hehe.
I think they might sell those connectors with wands attached already on Amazon...not 100% sure though. Good luck! 👍🏻
Excellent video except, what are yoyr measurements? What are those things you banged the couplers into?
Typo- your!
There is another comment that has dimensions. Those things I banged the couplers into are just little round pieces of wood that I shaped to fit in the end of the pvc pipe. I think they actually sell pre made pipe things on Amazon which would have been WAY easier...lol.
I LOVE your design ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Extremely awesome, Now how much your charging for one! Lol
I’m pregnant and God knows I don’t have time for making this unique 3 spinners!
All I want to do is create & design!
I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately I’m not really in the business of making things to sell or taking orders. There are prebuilt machines on amazon though. I might have a link to one in the video description...or if you click the link for the motors there will probably be some on the page somewhere. Thanks again for watching.
@@DanPrudlow You should definitely make these and sell them outstanding job well done, I promise you will sell out!!!
I appreciate the positive feedback and thanks for watching the video!
Is there anyway you could tell me the supplies you used besides the ones already posted? What pipes and things did you use?
The pipe is all 3/4 inch pvc parts. The wood is 3/4 inch plywood and the back is 1/4 acrylic. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Final dimension is probably about 23.75 inches wide by 9.5 inches tall...give or take some each way depending on how exact your measurements are to what I built.
The dimensions are that of the acrylic. The turner is 23.75 inches wide and the back is around 9.5 inches tall. So to cover the back you would need a piece cut to that size. Hope that helps. 🙂
I just checked IG but couldn’t find your message. The holes were drilled using a Forstener bit.
What are your measurements
The base is 23.75 inches square. The part with the motors is 8.75 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide. The center of the motor shafts are 7 inches apart and about 6.25 inches off the base. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
How much do you charge for the unit .
I don’t actually take orders or build them to sell. My wife wanted one so I figured I would build it rather than buy one. To recover my time plus materials I’d probably have to charge more than anyone would want to pay. Thanks for watching!
What drill bit was used. ?
For what part? I used a few different bits on this project.
Dan Prudlow for the holes for the motor what size did you use?
I used a 2 inch forstener bit. The holes were just a bit big though. I think the motor diameter is probably a metric size. But 2 inch worked out fine for me. Once you add screws to hold the motors in they seem fine.
Supply list?
There is a link to the motors in the video description. Those are the key ingredient of course. The wood is all 3/4 plywood and a couple pieces of 3/4 poplar but you could use 3/4 plywood for the little support pieces under the pipe...I just ran out of plywood so i used what I had on hand. The pvc is all 3/4 inch stuff. The clear back is 1/4 inch acrylic and I think there is a link to that in the video description too. 1 5/8 inch screws. I think that is about it. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
What is the motor?
They are called turntable motors I think. There is a link to them in the video description.
Can I get the measurements
The base is 23.75 inches square. The part with the motors is 8.75 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide. The center of the motor shafts are 7 inches apart and about 6.25 inches off the base. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I love this design, but it has no dimensions of anything; very difficult to eyeball the exact dimensions of your project. I looked on the comments, but still not very descriptive on the comments about the exact measurements. It would have been very helpful like you put the materials you used, to have all the exact measurements/dimensions of each piece of wood/plywood.
I pretty much built this sort of “on the fly” so i didn’t have exact dimensions for all the parts/cuts/etc planned out. I know the measurements in one of the other comments are not down to the fine detail but I think there is enough there to get the general idea. Putting together detailed plans takes a lot of time and since I’m just a hobbiest it is hard to justify. Someday maybe if I have more free time i will start doing that but for now it’s mostly just putting the videos out there as inspiration/entertainment. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Can you provide dimensions used.
If you look through some of the comments I put a reply a few times with basic measurements. I will try to find one and put the measurements in the video description but it might be a bit before I can get to it.
Like a lot of people I don't have the $$$ to drop almost 3 grand on that table. I thought I might be able to make my own turner until I click on the links.
I assume you mean the table saw? You don’t need the table saw to make this. I used it because i have it. A circular saw and straight edge can make nice straight cuts too. I have another video on making a pretty simple edge guide for a circular saw. Thanks for watching.
Is there any way u could give me the dementions on this
The base is 23.75 inches square. The part with the motors is 8.75 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide. The center of the motor shafts are 7 inches apart and about 6.25 inches off the base. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Awesome thank you
They are 6.25 inches tall...the bottom of the hole is 5.75 inches from the base. The hole is 1.5 inches in diameter. The height you make them will depend on the height of the motor and how big the pvc pipe you use is. Hope this helps!
Do you sell them.
No I don’t sell them, just made this one for my wife. Thanks for watching!
@@DanPrudlow very nice of you, now mine is nit that handy but Iam. Is it possible I can buy the plans or direction with the list of materials and measurements so I can build it?
I don’t have any plans to sell. The motors I used are listed in the video description. I believe there are also measurements for most of it listed in other comment responses. I don’t usually work from plans...I just make it up as I go based on a general vision in my head. 🙂
I wish you sold these.
The is really nice and all but the average diyer doesn’t have a woodworking shop in their garage.
Thanks.
Can you make me one I’ll pay you!!
I appreciate the offer but I don’t really build stuff to sell. Thanks for watching and for the comment! 👍🏻
just doing, no talking, NO measurements
Thanks for stating the obvious…🙄. 👍🏻
I’m not the only one
It’s no help to anyone.
Nor are your comments. If you don’t care for the video move on…or feel free to make and create your own content. I do these videos for fun, it’s not my job. Making detailed plans with measurements and providing all the instruction takes way more time than I can dedicate to it. Maybe someone sees the video and gets an idea or a little inspiration to go try to build their own stuff. Maybe spend less time criticizing others and focus on positivity…the world could use a little more of that. ✌️
@@DanPrudlow I was not. criticizing you SMH
Just informing of something that you already know 🤙🏾
This video does not help anyone because no measurements who shared for those who would like to make one
There were a few folks that asked about measurements and I answered their comment with info. I don’t make plans or anything so my videos are more to just share what I’m building…not really as a specific guide to build your own. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
