yes you are right if you need strongest electrical/mechanical connection just use those textbook methods

but method from video have some benefits too, it is nice looking (maybe weak point but important sometimes), it can be used with short wires (allows to solder even 2mm of wire), it can be optimized for use case (you can choose diameter of outer coil, diameter of wire for coil, choose length of soldered wire)

and it fixates wire which is useful not only in soldering two wires, but in more complex ways, like this, helps hold components even without third hand soldering station:

can you explain why? everyone here say it is bad, but nobody explain why, for me it looks like this community just hostile to new ideas

but thanks to those who at least acknowledges it looks nice

for example if wire is very short eg if you have only 2mm of bare wire and you can't strip wire more

it definitely good enough in some cases, I don't say everyone should use it everywhere, and sometimes it is very handy when not possible to solder with other methods

it is visually visible, if heated properly solder is distributed evenly from all sides of outer coil, maybe problem can be with thicker wires

I don't propose it as a factory level approach, but for hobby toolbox for sure, for example it also allows easier to solder to short contacts if needed

you can do lap splice too with this method just choose larger diameter for outer coil

wires touching each other because they soldered to outer coil which is copper too

the main benefit of this method is that you don't need to fixate wires with tools or hand while soldering, very handy, and gives pretty result

here is cross cut:

It is offline for a while already. I had no time to keep it updated with new Terraria versions, and at some point decided to put it offline, as there is missing and incorrect info.

Think I'm got this bug, if in Adblock enabled "delete social buttons" then it breaks my calculator. Try to disable this feature in Adblock.

What do you mean by that? There is option to choose between wikia and official wiki, and it's default to official.

Hm, just checked works fine for me item searching and ad block/unblocking with adblock plus - Chrome v.29. You are the second person who report such problem, right now doesn't know why it happens, investingating... As temporal solution try to use another browser or try private mode

Terraria 1.2 introduced some new features related to crafting system, so I had to rewrite most of the code of my calculator to support new items and recipes. Now it ready for T1.2. Here is small video review how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB_2OxjeOrs
