I love his wiring loom in the second picture. I knew as soon as I saw that that I'd love this article.

Partly because it reminded me of all the time I spent lacing similar looms. http://www.dairiki.org/hammond/cable-lacing-howto/

The comments are mostly similar to the replies here.

That's great! That's a nice little hydro plant.

I particularly like how he wire-wraps his own transformer. Actually, goes even further - builds his own 10 kVa wirewrapping machine, because the old one that his friend gave him as a present wasn't large enough.

I think it says something about the guy (and his friends) that his friends give him transformer wire-wrapping machines as presents.

I handwound a stator and I would have been very happy with such a present... That's a ton of work if you want to do it nicely.

That's a great link. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, fantastic read! Incredible.
