Use rubber gloves. It makes a difference.

Where did you get the wringer ?

Please do a video of how you made your

How did you make your home made wringer

Same here. Thanks for the visual.

Ha! Your reply gave me a good laugh because I would do the very same, and get the exact same response from my hubby! xD

I was thinking the same thing.

I agree, so expensive online. Would love a how to video on making one of these!

Ditto ☮️💜 im like yooo he make it look eazy eazy lol why so eazy lol

You sir.... Are genius!! I love this ❤ My hubby loves woodworking I'll be putting a request in for this!!

Look up "diy laundry wringer 3 bucket system" She uses 2 buckets, one with holes drilled in, sandwiches the wet laundry in between and sits on it Its cheap and effective

Robert Rhoads That sounds like a great modification! I'm gonna have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Hey I didn't understand your instructions so u cut three sides? Trying to make one

@@wanderingtheusa he cut U-shapes or [ shapes. like 3 sides of a rectangle instead of drilling out circles. I__l

did it work for dough?

Did it work?

Hi there, Daniel! The ship has not yet sailed on the plans. And its not a bother at all to email them out. It’s actually been fun to see requests come in from all over. Anyone that is interested in the rough hand drawn plans can just shoot me an email at ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I’ll reply with the plans.

I was hoping for a step-by-step on how to make this too! The store-bought wringers are very expensive.

What’s the size of the dowel? Idea bend the pipe clip ends together and attach a spring hooked into eye screw below. I would rub the dowel with beeswax to water proof and would “grease” bearing. I make spinning wheel belts and beeswax holds the the woven strings together and gives it grip on the wheel. Want to make one of these to wash my fibers before spinning them. Wringers online expensive.

Second it

Justsaying Wi I'm glad you stumbled onto the video! The lower pin is freewheeling down there. I left the original rod and plastic keepers in it from its original days as a rolling pin. I removed the handles and drilled a hole in each side or the upright frame arms to accommodate the rod. The plastic keepers weren't up to the task though, and I had to put a shim alongside the inside of the upright frame arms to keep the plastic keepers from bending and popping out. It's certainly something you can improve upon when you build yours! If you would like a copy of my crude plans, just send an email to ericrickardstv@gmail.com so I can send them along!

Thank you so much! I just sent the plans to your email.

@@ericrickards269 That’s awesome. I don’t need plans as I’m a bit of a maker myself but I LOVE that you are still sending them out to others.

@@ericrickards269 Wish I knew I could have got plans from you, I just worked with what I saw in the video. I made a couple of tweeks to your design and went with it. I am lacquering the wood right now, can't wait it done! I am going to make a off grid washer with a utility sink. I am going to incorporate a built agitator, seal and lid so it does not splash out.

Deborah Elaine I sent those plans to you just now. Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks so much, David!

krazo hills: You're far too kind! I originally thought I would just buy a wringer, but that $179.00 price tag made them very unattainable very quickly. Hence, this concoction...

Happy New Year, Mari B! I could certainly draw up some rough plans of how I made this one. If you want, send me an email at ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I'll email back a PDF.

Eric Rickards oh you are awesome! I will definitely send an email. thanks!

Eric Rickards emailed you also! Thank you!!

If you see this even though it's been a yr can you pls send copy of wringer plans.

Oh please if you see this...please send me your fantastic plans also! ls4697@gmail.com

Tilas8 Ha! I’ll look into making these available for sale. Thanks for commenting.

Eric Rickards have you made any yet? 😀 I’d totally buy one

Ronda Jones certainly! Just send an email to ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I can send them digitally to you!

SaMiChi I did consider it but eventually decided not to for two reasons. First was cost. I was trying to build this as inexpensively as possible. And the second was my concern that the wood underneath would rot prematurely if it couldn’t air out completely. I’ll love to see one built with some sort of traction, though.

Dilara Michel, thanks! And I do have plans. Just send an email to ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I’ll send the plans in pdf form to you. Send some pictures of your tiny house, too. I’d love to see what you have going on!

I can’t speak for the poster currently, but it looks like he was emailing the plans before to other commenters. Try sending a message to ericrickardstv@gmail.com. Hopefully I’ve spelled this right but you may want to double check amongst the other comments. Hope that helps!

I left the stationary pin with the stock metal rod. It wasn’t the heartiest of set-ups, but functioned acceptably.

A plastic sodie bottle cylinder part might roll up good enough for a "SHAFT"

Hello, Alice Norman! Just send an email to me at ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I’ll reply with the rough plans I have drawn up.

Becky Lawler, thank you for your kind words! The plastic shim between the rolling pin and framing was added because of an issue with the way the rolling pins are constructed. They have a smaller diameter metal bar running through the much larger diameter hole in the wood roller itself. At each end of the rolling pin where the metal bar exits the roller and would normally go into the handles, there is a circular plastic piece with a small hole in the middle that pops into the hole in the roller. The smaller diameter metal bar runs through the hole in the middle of this plastic piece. When I would have a decent amount of tension on the bottom roller (like while wringing a pair of jeans) the pressure would cause the plastic piece to pop out of the roller. Then the bottom roller is lopsided and on one side it is turning directly on the metal bar that runs through the interior of the rolling pin. So to fix that problem I added the shim (which is held in place with a single wood screw) to one side of the framing. That keeps the roller close enough to both framing arms that the plastic pieces stays put. When this wringer quits, I would like to rebuild the bottom roller differently and avoid having to use the shim. I would prefer to have a dowel the same diameter as the roller run all the way through. I’m sure there are a hundred good fixes, though. The wringer does work just fine this way, though. And it avoids cost, I suppose... I hope this helps clarify that part of the wringer!

Sherri, I have a similar setup and using a bin or tub is easier than filling the tub. Uses less water, and easier to agitate in the bin than the tub. I then use the same bin for my clothes hamper. I'm curious what you come up with, hope to see more details as you go!

Ashley Dunlap, while I haven’t made a tutorial video, if you email me at ericrickardstv@gmail.com I’ll send along some hand drawn plans with some basic instructions. Maybe it’s better than nothing. But at least it’s free!

@@ericrickards269 omg that's so awesome of you, thank you.

Candace Hash, send an email to me at ericrickardstv@gmail.com so I can reply with the plans.

@@ericrickards269 I sent an email Thank you

You can email me at ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I’ll send you the hand drawn schematic I have with some basic instructions if you like.

Certainly Emma! Just send a request to ericrickardstv@gmail.com and I’ll reply with the plans I drew up for this wringer project.
