Tutorial: Rigging a Spiral Phone Cord
You know kids, back in the days phones had <gasp!> CORDS attached to them! Here’s how to model and rig one ;-)

good
I love the old phone with cord.
Two good things I loved about tethered phone lines–they worked without batteries, and you could find the cord easier when feeling for it in its general area when experiencing the sudden dark from a blackout. Hahaha!
I had to do something like that in this project: https://vimeo.com/62401597 — can you spot it?
(Yes, that was all done in Blender.)
