T-Shirt Folding Machine

My sister recently left for college. When she left, I inherited all of her chores. One of the chores, which I've grown to hate, is folding clothes. My friend told me about a piece of cardboard that could fold t-shirts. So i googled it , found the plans and made the T-shirt Folding Machine.
It is very easy to make, and once made all you have to do is place a shirt on it, and flip a few pieces of cardboard, and your done.

While it's cool, :) aren't you just folding the shirt with a layer of cardboard between your hands and the shirt? so really, it's just the same as folding the shirt. you could also post an 'ible on the 2 second t-shirt fold (google it)

A few years ago I saw on TV how to fold a Tshirt by picking it up by a certain place on the shirt, as it is flat in front of you. I managed to make it work once out of maybe 5,000 tries so I gave up & now forgotten it. I love this idea! Very easy to understand & I love the graphics!

AWESOME! THIS IS LIKE THE THING THAT THEY HAD ON THE BIG BANG THEORY! You should wire it to some hydraulics and an arduino board so that it can do it all by itself!!!!!=D

[SnarflesTheWolf]
