Now that is impressive :D That's taken me back to a time when I made a washing machine out of wood, during my secondary school. God knows why I didn't claim it back, once I left school. Brilliant!! Hass :) | ||

Thanks
Thanks hassney, yea im not so happy about the front of the dryer when u open the door, but i just reciently redone the washer lid, i took a pic of my ge washers lid and printed it onto reg. paper and took my sisters clear fingernail polish and pasted it on the top of the plexiglass lid, then painted the top white it took me around 2 to 3 days to build just one of them.

I don't see anything wrong with it. To build something like that is genius :) building anything takes time and patience, honestly keep up the hard work. Hass | ||

Thanks everyone i made them out of plexiglass, i use to make them out of cardboard boxes but when i would put water in it and get it on the top it would wrinkle up so i decided that plexiglass would last lol. they r 10 and a half inches tall but counting the control pannel they r a little over a foot tall. i made a homemade laundry room for them out of plywood, thats prob. why they look full size. The washer and dryer actually work i forgot to mention that, i put a remote controll car in the washer and u take the remote and go foward and backward for agitation and foward for spin. For the dryer i bought a little motor at hobby town and took it home and i had a extra battery pack and saudered some wires from the battery pack to the mtor and i too a rubber band for the belt and put it onto a green bean can for the drum lol. Then i took a coffee cup warmer and hot glued it to where it almost touches the drum for the heat.

reply #30--Knew it was full sized..... lol amazed and dumbfounded that it works. That's quite a treat, the look behind the machine and all that homemade engineering~ WOW! So it spins, drains, agitates, and filters? The plumbing sure looks like it does.
Once I made a Frigidaire out of a hinge lidded wicker hamper, a white plastic waste basket for the tub, a shapely glass bottle pulsator, and a siphon pump. My grandfather game me a beveled-end piece of chrome for the hose hook. I loved it, but my God, yours dwarfs what I did. Used to wash rags in it, pulsating by hand, but the pump was the most fun because it worked. Had it for one or two summers when I was 10 or so.
What you've done goes right to the heart what Automatic Washer is all about. Many thanks, Doug. What a delight! | ||
