Pant Folding Machine

Pant Folding Machine
I hate folding clothes. I already made a T-shirt folding machine, so I decided, why not try to make a pant folding machine? It works pretty well. Once done, you will be able to lay a pair of pants on the cardboard, flip a few pieces, and have a nicely folded pair of pants.

I doubt I'm the only one curious on exactly how you got carpal tunnel surgery in both hands.

Great ide...if you created a slightly more professional version that didn't apply to the gorilla glue contest, then this would do pretty well....patent it! I just might try it cuz I absolutely suck at shirt folding! Nice job Pal!

If you go into any clothing retailer you can find one or more of these in the back, nice to see a DIY version.

Some people in earlier comments say this is useless, but I don't think so. Not only does it save a little bit of time, like they say it doesn't, but it also does a better job than I ever could!

I also agree with casemill, but think casemill misses the point. For the able-bodied, a project such as this may useless. There are, however, disabled individuals who might find such an aid useful. The beauty of the internet is that very small minorities (maybe just one person) can benefit from another person's seemingly useless ingenuity.

I agree with Casemill but just for the fun of it., im gonna make one

That's creative, but not timesaving. It's still faster to just fold the pants by hand. Machines are supposed to make work faster or produce a better job. This does neither, however ingenious.
