Greetings All,

I built a three strand braiding machine that can be seen here:

and a video can be seen here:

I'm pleased with the results and hope you enjoy it.

Regards,

Tom

Good for you, I always wanted to build something like that eversince I was taught how to braid. So.. I guess you could say I've been thinking of doing it for 25 years. ;) "Thomas Johnson" <rsthj@uaf.edu> wrote in message (...) (17 years ago, 7-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's fantastic!! Smooth in function and minimal in build! Nicely done! What do you do with the braiding? Sell it on eBay saying "THis Braid was knitted by a LEGO Robot!"? Dave K (17 years ago, 7-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Tom, this is (yet another) one of your fantastic creations. I saw you had a Strandbest as well. I still cant stop thinking about that leg segment. I cant wait till you build the lego loom. ;) Chris (17 years ago, 8-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

Ahhh, so that is how you made this! I admit being facinated by braiding machines. The spool feeders and all the rotary motion is quite interesting. I liked seeing your web site too! Eric Sophie (17 years ago, 11-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)
