Changing Poncho DIY 

Smile !

I am definitely looking for a staff for next time lol!

Thanks man!

If I turn it inside out it becomes slightly different 😂

I was really hoping for some sudo-magic 😢 Awesome project nonetheless

When I bought these, I got the last 4 on the rack, but when I make a "real" version of this, I definitely intend to add more fasteners. Wouldn't want a wardrobe malfunction to make me famous 😂

I wish! I'm actually a pretty below-average free diver, but I still love doing it. Thanks for watching!

Mission accomplished! 😂

Hi! Alligators are definitely a possibility. In 2015, a freediver was killed by a large alligator at a popular spring diving site. They don't seem to congregate in the springs in the same concentrations as other places, but the rule of thumb everyone should adhere to in Florida is; if there is water, there could be an alligator in it. (This even includes salt water, as they can and do sometimes show up on beaches, although they can't stay in salt water environments indefinitely.) American crocodiles' range doesn't currently extend this far north, and they tend to stay in or near salt water environments (although not exclusively). I think it will be some time, if ever, before an American crocodile shows up in any of the springs, but you never know! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi! Let me start with the caveat that I am not at all knowledgeable when it comes to electric motors, so I am speculating wildly, and any advice I offer should be taken with a grain of salt. So, when you turn the motor on, it accelerates to its maximum RPM and stays there until you turn it off. If I'm understanding what you are saying, as it accelerates to max RPM it squeals, then operates normally, then when you cut the power it squeals as it decelerates to an eventual stop. As you found, an answer isn't easily found by googling. If I am understanding your description of the problem correctly, my wild guess is bearings or something of that sort that are under more stress (or experience excess movement) during acceleration and deceleration. You can disassemble the motor and try to determine if anything is obviously loose or worn, but I don't know enough about it to advise any further. Clutch motors are generally available on the used marketplace for not a lot of money (I see $25 motors pretty often). Otherwise, it might be worth changing to an inexpensive (+/- $130) servo motor, which will GREATLY improve controllability and operate much more efficiently. If you are intent on keeping your motor going, you might check your locality for an electric motor shop. Electric motors are used for all kinds of industries, and cities of any reasonable size might have a shop that rebuilds motors (there isn't anything special about a sewing machine clutch motor from a motor perspective). If it isn't cost effective to have them repair or rebuild the motor, they might at least be able to tell you what is wrong and what needs to be done to repair it. I hope that helps, good luck and let us know what happens!

You were right,my son a mechanic took motor to pieces and one of the bearings wouldn't spin,now to find out where i can get a new one,thank you 😊😊😊😊
