Brilliant! I’m going to build the same, however I am going to try and use a conical glue pot to reduce the amount of glue required to remain in contact with the string.
So far, it hasn't left a mark on the delrin, CO. The cotton string is pretty soft, and is lubricated by the glue, too. I'll keep an eye on it, though. I can flip the delrin pieces over, and if I drill more holes in it, could even rotate it 90 degrees, to get lots of use out of it if the string starts to mar it.
Laundry starch might be more economical for your spiking string and it might soak into the string easier. Might even dilute the starch and get some more mileage out of it. Liking your spiking station.
Very nice idea Ned. So glad I saw this before making the more traditional, 2 post spiking station. Eliminates having to load up the posts and the slowness of working back and forth in a criss-cross fashion (aka: slow). I would, due to limit bench space in my shop, be interested in the "cart" version of this which you mentioned in you vid. I can envision it easily enough but am wondering how you get stability without cart movement, needed to maintain the tension. Is there going to be another posting of this? Thanks
The cart is working very well, and is especially helpful with large shells like the 25 pound 8" 11-timed spider shells I'm currently building, GDG. I will be taking a vid of it being used for some of that spiking in the coming week or two, so stay tuned. The bottom line is that I did bolt the cart to the floor, and am using the upper Lazy Susan turntable with the two rollers on it to maneuver the shell as I apply the tensioned spiking to the shell. It takes a lot of the work out of that process. ned

Thank you Ned! Very helpful. If I understand its purpose, it is to impart a more violent burst? Any idea how reinforcing the casing with twine came to be known as _"spiking"?_ Is it analogous to _spiking the punch bowl?_
You are my biggest role model. Thank you for sharing your Einstein ingenuity.
Thanks, Hunter. I'm definitely no Einstein, but I do enjoy the creativity that's possible in this craft.
You're one of the best teachers out there. Very precise. I appreciate all your videos I've seen so far
Thanks, Robert. I just try to convey how I'm doing something, as though I needed to know the details. Enjoy.
@@nedgorski you do it very well
Neat design. Your ingenuity and desire to share serves as inspiration to us all. I love this hobby.
Very professional workbench and professional art bro. Keep up the good work 💥
Thanks, King
Oohh that is wonderful. A very helpful invention
Thanks, Hagen
Nice piece of engineering.
Thats awesome!

Great to see you active ! Keep going.Thanks
Excellent video .👍👍
good chanle and good videos i fined the makeing of firework shells and other fireworks very intersting ned
nice design! i can see the string cutting into the delrin over time. Brass would be a great option if and when those need to be replaced.

Oh man, this is better than sliced bread.
I sure love it, Ken.

Negerarmen thank you ✌
@Whoop!
Wing Nuts... not bolts. :P
Yep, Mike. I get a little tongue-tied on camera. I wince every time I hear myself say "wing bolts"... Oh, well...
For the sake of this noob, what purpose does spiking serve?
It strengthens the casing, providing the needed confinement for the shell/insert.

@@nedgorski Finally after much searching I found the answer; many do it but few say why! Even Weingart said he had never heard of it or done it.
