How to Make a Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube

man, this company makes some really REALLY high quality tutorials

I had the pleasure of speaking to Paul this afternoon about my project and the use of carbon tubes / wrapping carbon tubes around foam core to make a strong space-frame and the shear amount of knowledge and information he gave me was astounding!! Several really good ideas and new takes and new techniques I hadn’t even considered. I’ve ordered materials from Easy composites in the past for glider and boat repair work and I’m really looking forward to working with Easy Composites on this project too! Thanks Paul!

"i am gonna be doing a very primitive test"...moves on and using an industrial press with a pc program that measures the force in detail...epic nice video btw

Always amazed by the quality of your tutorials and products! You deserve a lot more subs !

I was really fascinated by the tube and when he put it in the machine I nearly cried thanks for the video!

Thank you for this, guys. I really appreciate this great material.

These videos are the best thing I have seen online in my whole life 😮 which has been long, half a century unfortunately 😢

great video, PS: for the novices among us a mandrel ( not a mandrill- monkey family) is a rod of metal you mount between centres in a metal or wood lathe to hold a round part securely ie a pulley or donuts shaped object, the rod holds the part by the inner bore so machining can occur on the outer surface ( otherwise gripped by a chuck, held at a centre, etc.) as this is the only way to hold it and machine successfully.

Thanks for another great video, I really wish they were produced more often!!

I used this video as inspiration to make my own aero bicycle seatpost and it works great. Thanks for these awesome videos!

Damn carbon is hella strong 💪🏽 that’s amazing

It’s so pretty! I can’t wait to try and make body panels for my truck.

I use that carbon tube for spacer for my bike stem.strong and very light.

You guys make the best product videos..

Nice video, well explained without big egos for a change. If worst comes to worst, remember that common swimming pool acid will dissolve the aluminium tube away in a minute without affecting the CF at all. A professional fiberglass friend who makes fiberglass tubes, uses cardboard tubes, then just throws them in water overnight.

This would be a great metarial to make a pair of crutches - light and strong.

Nice! Would love to see a video of how to attach metal to the CF tubes to help build frames or frame reinforcements, like a strut tower brace. An ultimate video would be how to create a CF antiroll bar, like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS uses............ :-D

Thanks for adding those little tid-bits about how large manufactures might do things. I'm involved in manufacturing but not yet into carbon fibers.

I will probably never make anything from carbon fiber yet I watch video after video from you guys. Love from Texas.

Since the beginning of this channel, these are the best carbón fiber manufacturing videos around YouTube, no doubt. Keep the good work!
