Deze tabellen waren nuttig voor me, want ik dacht dat voor 7mm schroeven 8mm pluggen nodig waren:

One Winder to Rule Them All – Bambu Filament? No Problem! – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/09
Interesting, I am going to try to make one with help of Viskip: [Wayback/Archive] Post by @viskip.bsky.social — Bluesky
Wil je deze ook? Ik heb nog een op maat gemaakte as waar ik niets mee doe.
This is the device: [Wayback/Archive] One Winder to Rule Them All – Bambu Filament? No Problem! – YouTube
Maybe at the time of publication, I already made it.
The cool thing: it also winds other things like electromagnetic coils – you can see that towards the end of the video.

Falconer’s knot: the worlds best one handed knot! – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/13
[Wayback/Archive] The Worlds BEST One Handed Knot! – YouTube which “The Bear Essentials” in this video calls “the thumbs up knot” but in fact is the Falconer’s Knot (which in turn is a one-handed way of tying a Halter Hitch) and also covered in his longer video [Wayback/Archive] TOP 10 BEST Knots for Life – YouTube.
The Thumbs Up knot is in fact a different knot which you can for instance use at the start of a paracord keychain: [Wayback/Archive] THUMBS UP! – YouTube
The short video explains the Falconer’s Knot well, but I do more like the step by step pictures in [Wayback/Archive] The Modern Apprentice – How to Tie a Falconer’s Knot
A video that also explains it better is [Wayback/Archive] Tying the Falconers Knot – YouTube.

The Meinl TMT1B-BK Tambourine on the MC-TH Tambourine Holder: use Reece Cotton Tape makes it fit perfectly
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/09
I combined these two Meinl percussion products
- TMT1B-BK Traditional Hand Held ABS Tambourine, Dual row, Black, Solid brass jingles
Has a product page at [Wayback/Archive] TMT1B-BK – Meinl Percussion – The Modern Percussion Brand – Meinl Percussion
- MC-TH Tambourine Holder
Not listed on the Meinl site as a product page, but still in their 2024 price lists, for instance: [Wayback/Archive] meinl.de/content/percussion/service/downloads/price%20lists/Meinl_Percussion_EUR_2024.pdf [Wayback PDF View/PDF View]
After about 10 years of use, the foam handle of the tambourine started deteriorating, so I already had replaced it with Reece Cotton Tape (a grip tape for instance used with hockey sticks).
Last year, I added more grip tape to make it snug fit the MC-TH Tambourine Holder as without grip tape (even with foam padding), that would be a way too loose fit.

Missing C3/C4 on IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/29
I do like the [Wayback/Archive] IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline ¹, but it lacks combo C3/C4 plug/inlet:
C3 C4 From: IEC 60320 – Wikipedia (and yes: I had an old radio in my youth requiring this plug)
I bumped into the reference chart because I forgot the search term IEC 60320, and therefore searching my earlier blog posts on it ².
I did remember C13/C14 (normal appliance couplers) and C19/C20 (higher power device couplers), so I used the query [Wayback/Archive] c20 c19 amperage – Google Search giving me this table: Read the rest of this entry »

Big Clive: Lighting tech tool bag tour 2025 – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/17
What you carry around in a tool bag is always very personal.
What other people carry around is a great learning opportunity, especially when they have put in self-made or self-assembled tools.
So thanks Clive for releasing this very personal video: [Wayback/Archive] Big Clive: Lighting tech tool bag tour 2025 – YouTube

Voor warmteontwikkeling in koperkabel was ik benieuwd wat de weerstand voor diverse diameters was.
Gelukkig heeft de Nederlandse pagina Koperdraad: Gegevens – Wikipedia deze tabel (let op weerstand is per 100m!)¹

Interessante video over alternatieven voor een reguliere inlaatcombinatie voor CV ketels: [Wayback/Archive] Waarom ik geen standaard inlaatcombinatie plaats.. deze werken na een paar jaar niet meer goed..🤔 – YouTube
De inlaatcombinatie is 3 apparaten in 1.. een afsluiter, overdrukventiel en keerklep die voorkomt dat er warmwater terug kan lopen naar de koudwaterleiding. Ik plaats altijd een losse kogelafsluiter met controleerbare keerklep, daarnaast plaats ik een losse overstort van 6 bar..
- Via deze link kan je de Raminex kogelafsluiter met keerklep bestellen: https://partner.bol.com/click/click?p….
- Via deze link kan je de losse Raminex aftapper bestellen: https://partner.bol.com/click/click?p….
- Mocht je geen ruimte hebben om een kogelkraan te plaatsen met een losse overstort dan kun je deze inlaatcombinatie bestellen..
- LET OP.. deze is 6 bar Via deze link kan je de 6 bar overstort bestellen: https://amzn.to/3Wp2M4O
