Cool project, sorry i missed the stream but was off visiting the Moms (my mom and her wife so yes plural) for mothers day. This video has triggered Google to recommend me re watch all your display projects over the years, included your teardown of the 1960's sharp calculator that I aparently missed!

2024-05-16 14:25:06 +0000 UTCFran, you're right about the Teflon insulation being very hard to strip with tools made for PVC or other insulations. Working in aerospace and defense meant using Teflon, or the numerous different flavors of Teflon, were essential. The tool you demonstrated is something I used for years in the labs. But there was another way to strip Teflon and that was through thermal wire strippers. By positioning an insulated wire between two red hot metal strips, with a notch in the middle, would melt the Teflon and then I would just pull the wire out and the wire is perfectly stripped. The reason behind this approach was that thermal wire strippers never cut ANY of the strands since heat did the job and nothing had to mechanically be stripped which could result in unwanted strand(s) being accidentally cut when stripped. I'll have to send you one so you can see if it's easier to use than the pliers.
