Homemade clothes folding machine 

"What do you think of it?" ....and then the look on their faces!! lol. You're a mad man Izzy. Simply brilliant work mate. You should patent it. You'd make millions. I want one lol.

Haha, only you would think of something like this. It's awesome Izzy.

That's cool. Clever how the doors are connected to the gears so they alternately pop up, but spend a large part of the rotation lying flat. Now, how to make that third flap run off the gears too? Might need a cam for that.

So my wife and I watched this together, now she's looking at me with a smirk! Thank-a-lot Izzy. Heh. This is really cool, great job.

Izzy Swan is a mechanical genius that works in wood and builds some of the most interesting and fun stuff that you will find anywhere. Keep going Izzy, you are truly appreciated.

Holy Moly Izzy. You are one switched on dude. I like it

"Izzy, could you help out folding some laundry?" "Sure, Hon, get right on that." (Table saw sounds emanate from the garage....)

I don't think you sleep to much. Your wheels are always turning. I love your video's

You, sir, are a mad genius. Cannot wait for BrainPick.. I want to hear more about this thing.

Izzy Swan, the Stephen Hawking of home made economy DIY madness ? Without doubt the most entertaining DIY'er/wood worker out there, and I do mean " RIGHT out there ! ". Thanks for the grins Izzy, always appreciated : )

totally awesome. i have a cardboard version of this, but i'm gonna have to build one of these, it might get the high school kids in our shop to really fold t-shirts neatly. thanks izzy, you sir, are a genius.

Now that is truly amazing Izzy, laundry days will now be Happy Days! Take care Mike PS - Are there really 14 (thumbs down) people in this world who actually ENJOY folding laundry????

Ok, that's bordering on the coolest thing I've seen on RU-vid!

Wow what a great fun build izzy can't impress the kids :) they already have a clothes folder mum and dad lol

You have to much free time. My wife bought a plastic folder like that at a show. She loves it. Now I have to build yours. Great stuff. JD

Brilliant. I like how you tackle everyday "problems". I look forward to your videos because I truly never know what's coming next. You and Matthias are two of the great modern woodworking minds. keep em coming.

Your mind never rests, does it? Cool stuff. The kicker was the first time you pushed the cable and the third flap plopped over. That's when I cracked up. Good stuff, as usual!

Izzy, you have made a lot of cool things but this tops it. My daughters would love this, thanks! I also see Matthias has almost issued a challenge to make the third flap automatic, good luck!

At first you didn't use a drill, so I thought maybe you weren't feeling well. But then you added the drill so I knew you were okay. Very creative izzy.

your daughters are the cutest...keep them safe at all times.

You're a frickin GENIUS!! Seriously--that is WAY COOL!! You're family must be proud, and I know your wife must love the heck out of you!!

One of the most impressive things I've ever seen! Nice work

Very cool Izzy, I was worried when there was no drill.....but then boom there it is. Awesome project as always man.

Only you can make folding clothes and woodworking in one sentence. And that sentence includes cool too Great build

No Way! Thats AWESOME!!! U should make more and sell them.

That's got to be the most creative thing I've ever seen. Now if I could find a machine to sort, wash and dry. Awesome build brother

You, sir, are a Genius! You should seriously patent this and refine it.

Really! Wow, very creative izzy swan even I would fold cloths with that.

Great build and great kids. Your youngest cracked me up mugging for the camera at the end.

Ahh! The always impressive human ingenuity! Always a treat to see the mind produce action! 👍🏼😎👍🏼

This is too awesome! Great work! :)

Izzy has just won the internet!

That was a stunner. 100% clever, cool project. And when I thought that things can't get any easier, you just powered it with a drill ;) I have, indeed, enjoyed every single second of your video. So, keep up the good work.

Oh my goodness, great video, awesome wood working and designing. You are a riot! love it!

Another brilliant Izzy project!

Izzy you never cease to amaze me with what ever you come up with. Another awesome project.

5 kids, massive amounts of laundry, I need to make this ASAP. GREAT JOB!!!

Izzy at 1:37....Absolutely hilarious. I am going to have to build one of these for the kids. Thanks Izzy!!!

Now it would be really neat to add and electric motor with some pulleys (belt driven system) and a foot switch to start it and a way to make it auto stop after 1 cycle maybe some cams on the gears and some type of switch or contact system. Just a thought Very cool design izzy. Hope plans for building it will be available. Would love to build one of these. love your channel keep the cool stuff coming.

Izzy, you are the freaking man! So creative!

Man, I wanna live next door to Izzy! Your stuff is hilarious, wonderful and practical. Keep it up!

Very cool, My wife would love that machine. Regards, Bob

Ok IZZY I Really Like this one!!! I hate folding clothes, So I would definitely build this! looking forward to the plans on this one.

Pretty Sweet Izzy, always fun to see what you have next, Thanks for sharing

You are insanely funny and brilliant. The wife and I loved it!!

Excellent! Just fab for the Girls to see!

Great build as always.

Aha! Thanks Izzy. Now I know what to build my wife for her Christmas present! I’m sure she will appreciate it. Don’t think that I’ll be adding the power drill option though - my tools are stored in my Man Shed and there‘s a chance that our privacy contract may be breached should she step over the threshold. It’s a serious matter. My 9yo daughter is still waiting for her iPad privileges to be reinstated after the last time she dared step into my Man shed - that was in 2012. It may sound a bit harsh, as she was only bringing her dad a cup of coffee, but she neglected to leave the cup on the ‘beverage reception shelf’ which I have installed outside my shed for that specific purpose. Once she starts folding her own laundry she can have her iPad back. I enjoy your video’s - thanks, Chris

Before the video even started I thought the same thing before you said it, THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!. Completely cool Izzy. I don't know that I would go to the trouble on this particular project, but it was really fun to watch. Love your videos.

Keepin it fresh Izzy!

Izzy your incredible! I got a big kick out of this one.

Nice build Izzy. The folding machine would be a good idea for a person with disability or limited range of motion.

Izzy, you never cease to amaze me. Great project!!

Power flip-fold!!! Simply amazing!!!!

There is no doubt you're the father of those girls!!! I have one of the manual folders that I really like - this one would probably take up too much room in my closet, but what a cool idea!!!

Darn google will only let me click the thumb up once!!! This was both hilarious and brilliant all at once. I laughed. I called my wife over so she could see it also.

Great build, good to get the opinion of the cygnets.

We are not worthy izzy....you sir are a legend!

Too cool! Great job Izzy.

This is awesome! I'm launching a folding and storage system on Kickstarter soon but this blows it away!

Looking forward to the spindle sander. I've been designing one in my head for a while. I'm sure yours is going to use fewer parts, though.

You need an award for that one. I think this will finally get my 16 year old to fold her darn clothes. Now, if only you could attach it to shock collar with a proximity sensor, so if she gets too far away from her laundry she gets zapped. ;0)

IF only all parent were like this dude the chores around the house would be a breeze

thats cool shtuf I wish I had that kind of Genius! I'm just an old guy with some tools and some time to play with em. I watch you all you guys,old & young do with your tools & amazed!!! Thank you ALL!

Great idea Izzy! I am sure, there will be one more folding through gears in your next version.

Dude. Crazy awesome and awesomely crazy!! :)

Totally awesome Izzy, need one around my house

Awesome build Izzy!

Hey I married one of those. LOL NIce build I like it.

Beautiful kids. God bless your family.

ha ha ha thats great izzy you must have the cleanest workshop i only open the door of mine and i am covered.awesome

This is worthy of the Nobel Prize!

Awesome Izzy, only you could make folding clothes fun :)

OMG, Sooo Awesome! And the drill (with raised eyebrow) was a cool add-on extra! Other than making sure Matthias sees this, if there is any way you of one of your thousands of viewers could contact someone involved with the hit TV show "The Big Bang Theory", their star Sheldon would love to have this on the show. Because he uses the cardboard/hardboard to fold his clothes like that (but manually). Haha. Great build!!! Thanks for sharing.

Man , where do you come up with this stuff? And as I have yet to see a un-awesome video from you, when you start out with " this is going to be awesome" savings to favorites automatically. Thanks for sharing and take care, David

Izzy, you confound the wise and stupefy the stupid :) Youre amazing!!

izzy swan lol! that is just awesome. As the saying goes, "Life without Izzy, will be difficult." Ü

Awesome build. Great family too... appropriately unimpressed with Dad's hard work! lol

Just saw the folding machine on cable news, HLN, Cool job.

ist immer ein großer spaß deine videos zu sehen! dies ist aber echt super!!

Fantastic idea!!

hmmm...foot pedal drive for the drill so both hands can be free to pull and grab...hmmmm.thanks izzy ,you are an inspiration!

I'm not sure what to expect when you start a video with, "This is going to be awesome!" It was!

Man, that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another awesome project! Can't wait to see the next one!

Lol I was wondering how long before the drill got involved, ok now qet some steppers and a arduino. Have sensor controlled

Haha I never thought I would laugh watching a guy fold his laundry!

Hi Iz knewjust knew your were going to get the drill out , the best bit was your face after showing the drill , you da man , G

You are da man, Izzy! That's awesome! But, can it fold big boy tees like u and I wear?! Haaa! Love it, man! Troy

Great idea bro! Good soundtrack too. GJ.

Nicely build izzy swan!

Cool, my wife needs one of those.

Man, this is so cool...Brilliant !

I can see this going viral, sweet job izzy :)

this is your best, Izzy! What fun

I LOVE IT! OUTRAGEOUS! HOW COME I CAN'T LIKE IT MORE THAN ONCE? WHY AM I SHOUTING? YOU DA MAN IZZY!

Izzy, you may not get to this given how old the video is etc... Do y'all still use this bad boy? Considering making something to fold, and I've loved this build ever since I first saw it!

How does the pull cord thing work? I was trying to see from the scene where he tips the project on its side but it didn't look like he had installed that part yet. I tried to find plans for this on the website to buy but they weren't posted :(

Izzy, I'm inspired by your inventiveness. A bit disappointed though! I thought you would have included a rapid ironing function as well! Keep up the fun builds. Cheers Mick

Dude thats awsome! How dobu make the gears is my question and what kind of wood is used?
