Great video, excellently explained. I'm inspired to make a hot wire setup myself now! Rather than the fishing lines attached to weights to maintain the straightness of the hot wire though (which seems to work really well in your case, wires exit very close to the same time on each side!), i'm considering making a rigid Linear Bearing based system to prevent the mechanism jacking sideways. Should be interesting. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration!
Dude, why are you dragging the wire on the templates? Better to istall a small spike or even a small ball bearing on the outside of pipe and let that run on the template. This will leave the wire free from cooling, dragging and , possibly breaking from the abrasion against the aluminum.
Its good enough. You’re describing perfectionist paralysis that leads to never getting anything done for the sake of constant “improvements”. I know, because I suffer this as well.
@@gordoncellist No I'm not describing perfectionist paralysis. I am describing how you could make your setup better and more accurate with simple alterations. Sorry if I paralyzed you by doing so.

This is awesome... I wish you could post the remaining steps of the build.
Wow! That's a really nice work.
This is fascinating, thanks...
Informative.
