Attila in the Shed.
Добавлен 23 дек 2014
The shed is where I go to relax and play. I noodle around and make things, sometimes useful, and sometimes silly. Occasionally I make a video of these things and post it here. This channel is mainly for amusement but there may be some ideas or methods you can find useful.
Knobs!
Making some gear to help with making videos.

I'm getting a lot of comments wondering why I don't just hang the camera under the rail.
There are a couple of reasons why I don't do this:
The first is the camera has a large monitor attached and the main reason I have this is to allow me
to fine tune focus. I just can't focus using the small LCD (poor eyesight) so the monitor needs to stay. With the monitor and the cage handle the camera just wouldn't get very much closer to the floor, and
composing and focusing would be very difficult.
The second reason is all my controls for ISO, aperture, white balance, shutter relea...

Just making one drawer to hold the contents of four, I kinda thought they'd be bigger than they actually turned out but am very happy with the result anyway. See my main channel 'Attilas Workshop' here: www.youtube.com/@AttilasWorkshop
Mini Lathe Chuck key Safety lockout
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
This project is just something to help me play more safely with my metal lathe. I continually forget to remove the chuck key, as pointed out very gently by a comment on one of my videos, and I'm too old to rewire my brain so here the lathe is rewired instead. I haven't shown any of the electrical work here for obvious reasons due to the strict laws where I live but it's incredibly simple, think...
Get a handle on it!
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
I've had this little drill press vise for about fifteen years now and almost every time I use it I think to myself, 'gotta do something about the handle'. The thought was to just make the holes in the handle bigger and run some steel rod through, but now that I have a lathe something a little nicer and more useful can be made. I'm still only relatively new to the lathe but this was the first ti...
Mini Lathe stuff part 2 Way Cover
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
Originally on Attila's workshop channel from Dec 2022 As someone who likes to keep his workshop clean and tidy I found that cleaning up the lathe after a turning session was particularly tedious. The ways and lead screw are always well lubricated and adding metal chips and shavings to the mix made this task longer than ideal, not to mention the aforementioned sludge gumming up the works and gen...
Mini Lathe stuff part 1 Anodised riser
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Nov 2022 Well I've made a video of me taking a lump of metal and making a lump of metal haha:) But seriously, although this part looks simple and is relatively simple, a surprising amount of work went into it not to mention also being the guinea pig for my first attempt at anodising. Ever since I got my mini lathe back during the first lockdown I've wante...
Mitre saw station from old kitchen part 2
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Dec 2021 Part two of the 'old kitchen to mitre saw station' project. Here I finish up with a new fence, stop block and an enclosure with various accessories. Again mostly made with material from our old kitchen as well as some parts from my old mitre saw set up. The only new purchased part here is the 4080 extrusion so the entire build cost very little bu...
Mitre saw station from old kitchen part 1
Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Sep 2021 We recently updated our kitchen and I was left with the task of finding a use for the old one. Selling it or giving it away is not really an option around here (as one can witness by the amazing things being thrown out every time it's hard rubbish day), so I decided to use most of it in the workshop for a new mitre saw station. I ended up using a...
Workshop storage part 2
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Nov 2020 Here is the second and last part of the workshop storage project. The far right hand side of the long bench area was always a mess and I've made a solution that tidies this area up and stores all that was there before with space left over for more stuff. Again it's all MDF, no glue (almost) and some more colour for fun. MDF Finish: All the MDF ex...
Workshop storage part 1

Originally on Attila's Workshop channel May 2020 This project is not about organising stuff as such but more just getting things put away out of the dust. Whenever I have a messy job that involves creating a lot of dust it takes hours to clean up because of all the stuff (tools, boxes, small storage units etc) sitting around on and under my benches. It's pretty much a case of vacuuming every in...
Field monitor support
Просмотров 191Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel April 2019 It's getting more difficult to focus using the small LCD on my camera, so I decided to buy a cheapish field monitor to help. Now I have to say the new screen is terrific and focusing is a breeze. The only down side was the ball head attachment that came with the monitor, this was very flimsy and a new solution was needed. So over a weekend I ma...
Camera Stand
Просмотров 623Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Aug 2020 I didn't even know what a camera stand was until I stumbled across a video by Robert Cowen. He was showing us his latest bargain find (and what a bargain!) on Craigs List and the first thing I though was 'I gotta have one of those'. I can't really convey what a pain it is to continually futz around with tripods, I have three of them and still can...
Table saw blade guard
Просмотров 466Год назад
Originally on Attila's Workshop channel Aug 2019 To be fair the blade guard that came with my table saw is actually very good as a guard. It covers the blade well, it certainly looks cool, kinda like a sports car, but when it comes to dust extraction, it falls well short. Sure if I wanted to hook up a shop vac and run that at the same time as my cyclone then I could get some reasonable performa...
Product Turntable
Просмотров 214Год назад
Originally on the Attila's Workshop channel from August 2018 Here I make a simple turntable. It's only purpose is to help me take better video footage of small to medium size objects. Previously I've tried walking around the project to get a (near enough) 360 degree view but I've only managed to get mediocre video with my old heavy and clunky camera/lens combination. All the parts are what I co...
Anyone that says they don’t enjoy a nice knob is lying.
I also thank The Mysterious and Always Fallible Algorithm for introducing me to your channel! Your high-end build quality and production styling immediately reminds me of two of my favorite makers - Neil Pask of Pask Makes and the eponymous Brian Oltrogge. As others have stated, I appreciate you leaving in some of your process and missteps - we all have them, and (hopefully) learn from them. I'm excited to catch up on past vides and look forward to what you have in store for future projects. I expect your subscriber base is about to hockey-stick upwards! Cheers! 👏
Thanks and welcome. I've seen videos by the names you have mentioned and they are way beyond what I do but thanks anyway:)
Um trabalho rico em detalhes e perfeições, muito bom de ver , parabéns por todo esse capricho
Gracias:)
Great work! With regards to the parting, the more rigid the tool post the better, and reduce your speed and feed to 1/3 of what you normally run at as a rule of thumb, and plenty of cutting fluid, a lot of my parting operations I use the sound of the cutting to tell me when I'm going too fast or if there's too much vibration. Hope this helps
Thanks for the tips:)
Always a Treat, Attila!! Sorry for the late show, been preoccupied. Excellent Videography, Design and build, as usual! Terrific on the Anodizing and Nice Job on the Indexer too!! This mount will give you so many options you may not get any work done. 😂 A little tip on the parting large diameters is to go in about 1/3 depth, back out and take a half-3/4 bit width cut from the next part and go in a little farther then back and forth until through the material, also Lots of Lube (all about cooling). You use a bit of material and requires a face off of the next but worth the little bit extra time and saves an insert. Just takes practice and patience on the feed/speed. Also for AL I prefer HS Cut-off tools because they don't break and don't auger in if I peck feed in slowly, plus easy to resharpen. Spiral taps are the best IMHO. Threaded rod is typically Grade 5. Had a project for my brother years ago to thread a 6-32 set screw into the end of a 10-32 SHCS (Grade 8)...Can't tell you how many taps I broke until I "broke down 🤪" and ordered a $40 Spiral tap!! Totally worth it, but still had to go slightly oversize on the tap drill so I wouldn't break my Golden Tap, but it worked great . (BInk- the worst sound in the world, imho). Thanks Always for sharing your considerable talents with us!! Hat Tip, ~PJ
Hi PJ, thanks for all the tips I will get some HSS tooling and include a parting blade. As an aside, that tap I broke in the video is only the second tap I've managed to destroy, the first one was in 1989 while tapping a new thread into a 4.2 litre jaguar engine block. I'd just finished rebuilding the engine and was in the process of retro- fitting a later oil filter and line system. I had to tear the whole thing down again and found the broken tap end resting against the rearmost crank bearing. But then again I mostly work aluminium so broken taps are not something I normally have to worry about.
@@awintheshed Didn't realize you started a new channel...Sub'd. 😊 Totally agree with hardly ever breaking taps. E type or XJ? In the late 80's I rebuilt the whole front end and redid the cooling system on an XK-E V12...very nice job except waiting for parts. Sweet sound! Who Knew, rebuild-able ball joints. 😎 My first "Bink" was in a Ford 460CI water pump/timing cover probably early-mid 80's. Broke the hex stud one, had to easy out it then when chasing the thread I broke a "Cheap" Tap. Finally got the broken tap out but then had to put a heli-coil in because the threads were gone. Worse part was you have to take to radiator and front clip off to even get it out...some brilliant Detroit engineer! Maybe broke one other till the 10-32 incident. Agreed about AL, usually except for deep, blind threads. Hat Tip, ~PJ
At last, a local machinist. With a proper hi-fi to boot !
I think 'machinist' is a bit extreme:)
Love the quality of your videos and not to mention the quality of your workmanship. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you.
10:30 - you are using bad type of tap. This one (with straight chip canals) is for through holes. For blind holes tap have spiral chips channels. This one broke probably because it pushes chips forward and got stuck.
Spiral taps are relatively new but we have been tapping blind holes for years, plus the gun tap was successful in tapping the holes, and it is a straight tap;)
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks.
love knobs
Me too:)
OMG im so happy i got your video recommended! u got a new subscriber Mr. Attila
Thanks, and welcome:)
the algorithm brought me here, why do you have few subs? Your production quality and editing skills are wayyy too good!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
It's so comforting seeing the parting tool break on the lathe.. I've got about a 50% success rate breaking tools (at least when parting anything harder than brass) and I'm glad it's not just me. I'm sure speeds and toolpost rigity need some work but I can never figure out what I'm doing wrong 😂 Love the video mate.
Thanks. It's a bit worrying that I haven't even managed to part off aluminium yet lol.
What a hidden gem of a channel! Reminds me a little bit of Inheritance Machining
Thanks.
so geil
Cool:)
After having a large block of 3060 extrusion bind up and basically explode my miter saw, that scene gave me such panic.
Hey, that happened to me as well, shattered the cast fence and had to get a new one online. Did something to my hand but I can't remember, except that I was very lucky.
Hey algorithm, this is what I want more of. 100% more of this. I'm almost angry with how good the cinematography is. But sharing the failures gave it the perfect amount of reality.
Failures, oh there's always plenty of those lol;) But for some unknown reason I rarely get it on video.
So you already know inheritance machining?
Great job Great video Son💯☝
Thanks Pop👍
Brilliant!
Thanks.
Brilliant video! The lathe key holder with a switch is genius! I need to make that wheeled camera stand!
Thanks. I have videos of the chuck key holder and the camera stand on my channel.
Very nice !!
Thanks.
Top notch as always 👍 but that paint job 😍 did that really come out of a rattle can? 👍👍
Thanks. You can get good finishes with rattle cans when the paint is good. And these paints are very good.
Thank you. Metalshield? Or, trade secret? 😄
Dulux epoxy etch primer and epoxy satin top coat.
@@awintheshed 🙏
Wondering if some cheap spirit levels would add anything good to the foot...
Don't need it, camera has level built in.
Hungarian name spotted, subscribed
Welcome:)
very nice BUT never take your hands of the chuckkey when it is not in a save place, NOT the chuck
My lathe cannot start with the key in the chuck! The key must be in it's holder for the lathe to start, see the video on my channel.
Satisfied with the lathe? works out of the box or you needed tons of mods to make it work?
It's my first metal lathe so I have nothing to compare it to. It works fine though the compound slide was not very rigid so I made a solid block for my tool post. For a noob like me it's great:)
I thought you were making speaker feet from the thumbnail. Love those chunky solid knobs.
Cool.
Beautiful shots
Thank you.
beautiful work man. Craftsmanship and camera work alike ;)
Thanks, glad you liked the video.
Next time could you just heat up the stainless to aneal it and then tap it easier?
I think the answer is to use the correct speed when drilling.
@@awintheshed yeah stainless is weird sometimes. My first time programing a stainless part I was too scared to go fast but that's what it wanted.
Classy design and presentation!!
Thank you.
Very interesting. Nice work sir
Thanks:)
Excellent work. Also great videoing. I have the TU2506V also. It is in bits while I'm completing the CNC upgrade design. Almost finished. I have all the parts such as motors, ball screws and electronics for the upgrade and as soon as the mechanical design is completed, then I will start making the plates, brackets and other parts for the assembly. Currently designing the X axis (cross slide) way covers. Hence why I came across your vid by googling way covers.
Thanks and glad you liked the video production. Converting your lathe to CNC sounds like a great project, hope you make videos for us to see;)
The build is nice and I’m sure it will find much use. Considering how easy it looks to take the camera head off your larger stand, have you tried mounting it upside down? The camera would be hanging upside down, but the video is easy enough to flip right-way up in your video editing software.
Thanks. I've addressed the mounting upside down thing several times in the comments;)
@@awintheshedah I see now. I had scanned the top dozen or so replies looking for that comment (no comment search on mobile), but I just had to keep scrolling. Cheers mate.
Just discovered and then binged ALL your videos. I like your projects and, more importantly, I like your style. 👍
Thanks and welcome:)
Me encanta su trabajo meticuloso y preciso. A la espera de otro maravilloso y entretenido video.
Gracias:)
You need to use lot more cutting fluid during parting to flush the chips out or retract periodically then feed again. If chips get jammed, then it's certain to break the insert and the holder.
Thanks.👍
Great knobs!!!😂
Haha thanks Mitch.👍
Again and again and again really beautiful very engineered work. Your design it's really beautiful, I have to ask what is your main job? Are you an engineer or a furniture designer? I enjoy your work, reminds me of a futuristic 60's 70's design art decor. Great job
I work as a printer. Thanks:)
Is there a forthcoming Part 3 to make the camera rotate to remain aimed at its subject as it slides along?
I made this in 2017 and used it for a few years but got rid of it when I built the camera stand.
Very nice looking setup! BTW what is the track playing at the end?
I can't remember but it's in the you tube audio library.
What are you doing with caustic soda on aluminium?
Cleaning before anodizing.
The final cleaning step.
In all fairness, a good knob is very satisfying to use. :)
Indeed!
It takes confidence to do all that sanding and filing BEFORE drilling the holes.
Or stupidity lol. Thanks:)
Very well done, excellent build, always enjoy the projects you come up with….
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video:)
amazing build!
Thank you!
Excellent fabrication. Very professional build and video! Well done 👍
Thank you.
Looks like you are using a wood bandsaw to cut aluminium. What blade are you using? Are you running the bandsaw at its lowest speed? Great content BTW. Nice project.
I'm using a Bi-metal blade specifically for cutting aluminium and I'm using the high speed that I use for wood because I don't want to change pulleys all the time. I use the same blade for wood too. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks. What TPI?
What paint/coating did you use on the aluminium fork? It looks amazing! Great work overall, fantastic to watch!
Thanks. For this I used an epoxy metal etch primer followed by epoxy satin black enamel top coat. I find this finish to be very durable. Both are made by Dulux.
Well done, very neat work!!!
Thanks.
