How to Do a Figure 8 with a Extension Cord

[@sjsiemka]

This feels like some type of martial art.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

TEMPLE BUILDERS NINJUTSU ! Sacred art form. Thanks for commenting SJ.

[@notjamesiha]

That would've been a great trick to know back when we used cords.

[@NA-jc1qr]

Dude you explained so much easier than others!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Appreciate it. Thanks for commenting

[@sswans9664]

Right?! I had a man try to show me 20 times but this man made it so much simpler. Watched it 10 times but got it 2nd try lol

[@ScottKilmartin]

That’s a George Gervin finger roll …

[@jlkd23]

[@lovesongbirds]

You have the best form of coiling cable! The most grace and smoothness!!! You must do martial arts if you're not already doing it!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I've trained in martial arts and I'm a fan of martial arts. I try to incorporate the martial arts theme and discipline in my teaching. I like watching MMA and boxing.Thanks for commenting .

[@JohnDoeWesside213]

[@Exist_Outdoors_]

My cords from the Christmas decorations have been sitting there in a mess. Thanks bro

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

🤣 I guess it works with Christmas lights as well. Thanks for commenting.

[@johnwilkins3995]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.

[@Belcovo]

Nice!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Thanks!

[@afg122602]

that was the longest 2-3 ft I ever seen.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

😂 😂 you got me on that one. I might have misjudged that one. Thanks for commenting.

[@jlkd23]

Subscribed 👍🏽

[@markkeane1317]

Thanks

[@doomsdayzalinsky7910]

I have this one thick lime green extension cord that's so long I could never wrap it nice & neat without the heft of all that wrapped cord getting too big to hold on my hand partways through. The shoulder length figure 8's process works though. Temple Builders!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Very cool! Thanks for commenting. TEMPLE BUILDERS!

[@kevincrowe2888]

OutFNstanding bro!! I like it

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Appreciate it!!

[@allangray6764]

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Gotta show my grand son this, TY😊

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Tell him TEMPLE BUILDERS said what's up! Thanks for commenting.

[@joeyischef]

Thank you thank you, stuck at work with a pretty badly tangled cord, my other two methods weren’t working but this was perfect

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

You're welcome Joe I appreciate you commenting.

[@monkeyzero2]

This the only video I could follow haha 💯

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Explain a little better.

[@tyoungjjr]

That's what up!

[@misplacedcajun2325]

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for commenting.

[@robertbobby3325]

Thank you my friend 🙏

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

No problem. I appreciate your commenting.

[@lakid9749]

Thank You 😊

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

No problem I appreciate you commenting.

[@Thermohybrid]

Thanks dude. Great videos

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

No problem

[@markm8188]

This is the way to do it! Quick and easy to remember. Deploys without tangles.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate you commenting.

[@jaded5559]

Be careful with the male/female ends; bending that close to the plugs will pull the plug and cord apart. Then it becomes easy money for OSHA.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I agree. Thanks for commenting.

[@markm8188]

If you don't plug then together, you won't be bending the cord right at the plugs. Otherwise, do it this way. 😊

[@Return2Kayfabe]

this channel rules keep it up

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Will do. Thanks for commenting.

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

I learned a similar one but it looked goofy cause it had you looking like you’re dancing like a madman in order to make a figure 8 looking cord so aesthetically the end result as nice, then I learned daisy chain and that one just took too long and wasn’t worth it IMO, now I’m learning the “under over” method is supposedly the “best l way to ensure to most amount of cord life long term but honestly these cords are beasts so I wonder just how much of a difference t cord life will be goin from something like this to the under and over method. Only methods I can fw are this one and another one I just saw where you wrap the cord around your elbow cause they’re both mad fast and the end result is very similar to the one presented here.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I know I've had this cord for about ten years, so it has held up to the abuse pretty good. Thanks for commenting.

[@mikemanna2476]

Thanks bud👍

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

No problem 👍 Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@SandiRose2008]

I've seen a different Figure 8. I can never remember it. I'm pretty sure I can remember this one!! And I have plenty of cord that needs to be wound up properly and stored! Thank you!!!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

You welcome

[@sswans9664]

Thank you!!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

You're welcome!

[@AO-uq2br]

Show them the daisy chain. Blow some minds for us brother

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Good idea 👍. You can expect a video on that in the near future. Thanks for commenting.

[@justtisha]

That's awesome

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Justtisha , I appreciate the support.

[@DaBeginnerTrader]

Dude was dancing 🕺

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Disco fever. Thanks for commenting.

[@stankymilk]

Wish I knew this years ago. I used to just hold one end in my hand and with the other hand wrap the length of cord around my forearm. Always tangled that way through...

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Glad to help. Thanks for the feedback.

[@ignaciotolentino0323]

Thanks for this tip because I messed mines up it's got pig tails and shit I tried to fix it but i just didnt have time but now imma try this when i go work today and hope my boss doesnt get mad at me for not fixing the mistake i made.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Uh Oh! Don't let the boss man send you on a long vacation. Thanks for commenting.

[@wombozombo]

Mine didn't come out quite so clean but it worked 👍

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate you commenting.

[@eternaltruth52]

hanging that way is going to reduce life of cable.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I've had it for over 5 years, so far. Thanks for commenting.

[@acescalade4351]

ive gotta say figga 8

[@allensmith5230]

Like when your rolling up your para cord

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

🤣 I wanted to go to army ranger school so bad when I was in my army infantry unit. I would have loved to have gotten that experience. I was scared of heights at the time, but if I had the opportunity, I would have went.. Thanks for commenting.

[@descendingeagle2987]

Very nice! Thanks! But that's not a figure 8

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Will it pass for a variation of a figure 8. Thanks for commenting.

[@melindakipfer8583]

Looks good now but a major pain in the ass when trying to unravel. No thanks!!

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I understand. Check out some of my other videos. Thanks for commenting.

[@MoTaVa]

This is not the correct way to roll a stranded conductor extension cord. It may be easier than whatever you're doing, but it's not the best for preserving the condition of the twisted strands.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Well, I've had the cord for 5 yrs now. Thanks for commenting.

[@davetruewang-bz4oi]

That's the best example of this technique I've seen yet.

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for commenting.
