G'day persempre, thank you for your interest, this was fun to make, I designed it myself so I have no drawings but please feel free to use the ideas from my video. You never know what you can make until you try. Good luck with it, best wishes, G. May

G'day teacat55, thanks for your interest in the gin. It doe's really work as simply as seen in the video. It was my first attempt at such a device and perhaps I simply got lucky. I have no drawings for the unit and it was a "one off" for my daughter who grows and spins cotton etc. The top steel roller is driven by contact with the larger wooden hand cranked roller below. The screws simply allow increasing pressure between the two rollers until the desired separation of fiber and seeds occurs. Please feel free to copy the design and I wish you well with your project. Cheers, GM

@@gregmay990 thank you for the swift reply and permission. May I ask a further question concerning the pipe fasteners, specifically the one with the steel roller? I see one screw on the top holding the pipe roller in place but can't see if the bottom hole has a screw going into the wood. If it does, how can the roller be cranked downward?

Yes the grass hopper is probably my favorite escapement, the finished clock is here ua-cam.com/video/IlnHjgLaqh0/v-deo.html Another that might interest you is the medieval escapement here ua-cam.com/video/LyoH3juUSdo/v-deo.html Thanks for your interest, Greg

Well thank you for your interest and kind comments, I have a little video of the finished clock here ua-cam.com/video/sleHpUP7ZeU/v-deo.html Best wishes, Greg

G'day Vincent, sorry but the machine is a "once only gift for my daughter" but thank you for your interest. Cheers, Greg

G'day, thanks for your interest but I have only made one as a gift for my excellent daughter.

G'day bweaverla, thanks for your interest but the cotton gin was a one only project specifically a gift for my daughter. Feel free to copy it, I would be flattered. Cheers, GM

@@gregmay990 Thank you. You made a beautiful instrument.

Thanks for your interest, I'm glad you enjoyed my little machine and look forward to seeing some of your creations posted? Best wishes, GM

G'day Raghava, thanks for your nice feed back and all the best from Australia. Cheers, GM

G'day sr9te, the bottom roller is hard wood and the little top roller is steel. There is sufficient friction between the two to drive the top roller and that's all there is to it. Thanks for your interest and best wishes to you and your group from Australia.

@@gregmay990 Thanks so much and good luck to you as well whatever you doing out there as well!

G'day Aksay, the rollers are too close together for the seeds to pinch.

G'day ginnie jo, many thanks for your interest and kind comments, the project was a "once only" and was a labour of love for our daughter taking about 3 months of my time part time. You are welcome to copy the design although it is essentially typical of that type of carder, enjoy the journey. Best wishes, GM

Salom Raxmatullaeva va qiziqishingiz uchun rahmat. Men qizim uchun faqat bitta paxta tozalash mashinasini sovg'a qilganman. Iltimos, mening dizaynimni nusxa ko'chiring. Umid qilamanki, 2024 yil baxtli bo'lsin.

G'day Pratibha Mishra thank you for your interest in the cotton gin. I designed and built it as a gift to my daughter some time ago and didn't make drawings as it was a "one off" project. Please feel free to copy any of the design, it is relatively simple and easy to make. The rollers rely on friction between them to operate and a little scrapper against the back of the bottom or driven roller helped to remove the fibers from the roller. Best wishes to you and your project.

Thanks for your kind comments, yes I designed and built the little clock. The concept dates back to probably the 1100s.

Thanks James for your kind comments, it was indeed a labour of love and I named it after my maternal grandmother.

I made the drums rather like barrels with a disk at either end then 6mm thick strips around the circumference like staves of a barrel. The wire hooked outside is called carding mat and I purchased it from a supplier in Europe whose name I no longer have. I hope that is of help to you.

I was wondering the same thing

It works really well and thank you for your kind comments.

G'day from Australia and thank you for your kind words regarding the cotton gin. For me these projects are great fun to design and then construct in my tiny work shop and they usually have a useful purpose as well so everybody has a little win. Best wishes for the future. gmay112

G'day Michael, thanks for your kind comments re the clock. As the concept is quite rudimentary so is the accuracy, though entirely adequate for life in medieval times. The clock was a delight to design and build and it quietly clanks away day and night here in our hallway, I can hear it now as I write this reply. Cheers, gmay

G'day Howard, thanks for your interest. I made it as a "one off" for our daughter so no plans but please feel free to copy what you wish from watching the video.

Please feel free to copy the design, I have only ever made the one. Cheers,

Okay then Thought you were looking to sell that piece

Thank you kind sir,

Thanks Steven for your kind comments, I suspect that the solution to most of the problems in life are simple if we can just see past the cotton wool.

G'day alaa Hussein, thank you for your interest in my little machine. Yes the industrial revolution bought many things to humanity many good and some not so good. Best wishes from Australia.

G'day Jorge, thanks for your interest, I designed it all myself so no drawings just a bit of maths and some trial and error, just make a start and follow on from there. The clock is all completed and in it's case now, here's the link. ua-cam.com/video/sleHpUP7ZeU/v-deo.html

Many thanks Manasi for your kind comments, best wishes, Greg
