DIY class roulette

Hello dear readers andthe inhabitants of our site!
As you all well know, the main tool of any master is roulette!
In this article, the author of the YouTube channel "Hassan Abu-Izmero" will share with his readers the way how to make a "roulette of the" executive class "with a brass body do it yourself. Yes, you can use this tool in the workshop, but it is designed a little for other purposes. The main one is measurements at a new facility in the presence of the customer.

This homemade product is quite simple to manufacture, and does not require complex tools. You can repeat it even inhome conditions.

Materials
- Roulette
- Brass sheet
- Second glue
- Brass bar
- Flux, solder
- leather strip
- Kapron thread
— .

Instruments, used by the author.
- Scissors for metal
-, polishing disc
- Belt sander
— 
— 
- vernier caliper
- Jigsaw, hammer, mallet, file, file, knife, compass
- Vise, pliers, hacksaw, needle.

Manufacturing process.
As a starting material, he uses an existing tape measure with a plastic case. He disassembles it, and temporarily leaves the coil in the housing so that the spring does not unwind.






Measures its radius with compasses, and transfers the size to the brass sheet. The author outlines two circles, and cuts them with metal scissors.



Both resulting discs are temporarily bonded with glue.


Then the master polishes the edges on the tape machine, trying to achieve the correct circle.

Put a label on the disks for subsequent assembly, because their shape is not perfect. Separates them.



On one of the discs he minted his logo.


Having measured the width of the roulette wheel, marks the brass sheet with a caliper, and cuts off a strip of the required length.


The edges of the strip are processed on a belt sander.


Now the strip must be bent into a ring. This author performs using a pipe and a mallet.


In a brass bar, a longitudinal cut is made with a band saw, and the workpiece is cut off. It looks like a tuning fork.




This sleeve is soldered to one of the disks. That it will hold the central part of the spring.


Now the annular part of the housing is soldered to the side cover. As usual, flux, solder, and a gas burner are required.


The slot through which the tape will come out is carefully processed with a small file. She should not scratch the tape.


The inside of the case is lubricated with solid oil. Holding the tape and spring, the master carefully transfers the tape measure cartridge into the new case. Lays a spring curl in the sleeve.




The housing can be closed. The author solders the second cover, observing the marks applied.



Heats up a thick brass wire, and forms a ring from it.




The ring is soldered to the body.


For this roulette, the master decided to make a small strap. To do this, he cut off a strip of leather, and sewed it in the shape of a loop.


All body surfaces are carefully polished using abrasive polishing paste.


The strap is connected to the tape measure using a steel key ring. It would be wise to additionally use a small rifle with a swivel.


I thank the author for the simple idea of ​​replacing the roulette case. With such a tool, there really will be more likely to receive an order after measurements at the facility!

All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!

The tape measure should be Dismountable and on the lanyard, and not with a fingertip.
Here is such garbage. My webpage

The first one that came across. I think it will be cheaper.
A completely unnecessary thing! You can measure at a small distance the distance only to a large and not cluttered wall with dubious accuracy.)))) In a completely empty room an error of a couple of centimeters !!!! If something is standing by the wall and you are measuring next to it, then it’s only a meter or two! Then each time other results))))
Shipping will be more expensive. On Alik she’s probably three dollars ...))))

Can you send to Donetsk? I'm waiting!

Apparently, a person is either dreaming of a laser rangefinder, or has already bought it, and holds it like a fetish !.)))). But that practically does not use to the full - for sure. (Or used for one type of operation)
P.S. I have a laser. There is an ultrasound (I can give it to someone. A completely non-functional thing). But there are also six ordinary pieces of different lengths (from two to fifty meters.)
I don’t brag about it ... I just want to explain that the field of application of the laser "crawls" into the field of application of the usual one, but it does not completely cover it !!! (And vice versa) ...
And he can answer for suits !!! ))))

Ponty clumsy. And what can we expect from the "author" who disfigured his hands? I suspect that not only hands. Apparently, he plans to have a representative tailor centimeter.
