Windscreen wiper motor's are fantastic for using as a high torque low speed stepper motor when converted as one, they're also super cheap
You woudn't believe how many companies would just throw good stuff in the trash on the idea "it's not worth the time".
It's infuriating to me the way RUclips seemingly punishes quality sometimes. I truly believe that your channel is important far beyond the context of RUclips. If my situation weren't what it is I would be supporting you as well as many other people who independently produce things like this, and other educational content. Thank you for being relentless in your mission. I appreciate you.
thats just what newly uploaded videos look like until they go through final transcoding
@@drkastenbrot that's not what I mean.
@courier11sec I'm struggling to understand what your complaint is then? He has half a million subscribers, and is well deserved.
@hayleyxyz where do you see a complaint about him in my comment? I said this channel is important and remarked that RUclips specifically disincentivises high quality long form content which makes up the entirety his videos. 🤷♂️
@@courier11sec "It's infuriating to me the way RUclips seemingly punishes quality sometimes."
The value is in the Eyes of the Welders and Engineers . One mans Scrap is another man next Project
As Edison said « To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk »
Alter Schwede. Ich kann nur ansatzweise abschätzen, wie viel Arbeit (viele Jahre an Recherche, Lernen, Experimentieren, Umsetzung, gelegentliches Scheitern, Umdenken...) da drin steckt. Meinen aller größten Respekt dafür!
Not to mention the creativity. Thats what elevates you from the herd of sheeple.
Yes ! Impressed by the amount of work and knowledge of that guy ! Gruesse aus Frankreich !
I made it halfway through your comment, wondering why your spelling was so eccentric and why my reading comprehension had fallen to near zero, before I realized it wasn't my native English🙂 Imagine if his brain stays sharp for another 40 years how much this guy will know. I bet next time he needs surgery he will DIY that himself with a CNC cauterizing scalpel and sewing machine attachment.
This is great! It's tricky to get people excited about CNC. Who knows why. It's always hard to walk the line between technical and entertaining.
I wouldn't worry too much about piercing with your plasma. I can usually get 500 pierces on a nozzle, and have gone well over 1000. It works out to something like $.06 per pierce.
I don't usually browse comments much, but I did, and I see Wes likes Gerolf! Very cool - you are both favorites of mine. Gerolf is a brilliant and resourceful man. I love it when he uses American terms like "five bucks" in that accent!
I too was pleased to see Wes commenting on Gerolf's video - as Gerald says, both favorites of mine, too! Just gives credence to the old saying "great minds think alike"!
Hey Wes. Nice to see you here! I will have to automate the third axis on the cnc table to solve this issue. This particular kind of plasma cutter cuts best while in direct ocntact witg the the workpiece. However while piercing it is recommended to lift the nozzle of the workpiece for a short moment. If you don't do that the nozzle wears much quicker during piercing. That was my problem so far.
@@ThePostApocalypticInventor I have no doubts that you shall find a solution for this and it will be simple but incredible. 👍
@@ThePostApocalypticInventor I would think that a cam lift that kicks in at piercing start, or just before that, and then dropps the nozzle back into contact with the surface of the material to be cut would be a possibility. Might be possible to use a starter solenoid to turn the cam. Or even a windshield wiper motor. Probably another dozen inexpensive solutions out there that can be pulled from a scrap yard, and or turned on a metal lathe. Best wishes to you on your recovery.
This bloke is so talented
Hope the surgery goes well and a speedy recovery. As always thanks for the videos!
I won't say genius because that is hyperbole. But your wide range of knowledge and skills and the ability to see things as part of a bigger picture is a skill set that seems to very much lacking today.
The world works be a much better place if there were more people like you
Im 15 years old and I admire your work. Without a doubt, you are the best DIY channel. Learned lots of new things from your videos. Good luck with the surgery!
I don't think many people would have the guts to try something like this, and you did AND succeeded. Keep up the great work!
Dont be disheartened mate, ur a fking genius. Just rem when u r ahead of ur time ur often the only one there. Breathing new life into machines that have been discarded, LEGEND!
The big CNC table is a scrapyard masterpiece, so inspiring. Don't let the poor performance of the plasma table video get you down. These new tools will pay dividends both in what they allow you to do, as well as future well-performing videos that would not have been possible without the new CNC tables. Hope the surgery goes smoothly, and you are back in action shortly thereafter.
I really had no idea it was even possible to do something like build your own CNC. It is hard to convey just how incredible this is, and it especially sucks that RUclips buried the last video. I can confirm that I did not see the last video on my home page, only this one.
You are truly doing some incredible work with materials that were literally thrown away!
Amazing utilization of "junk" resources. You take adding value to another level!!
As a Mk1 Golf owner and hobby mechanic I was like, eh those gears look familiar 😂 Neat idea! Indeed they spin well on the lathe, had to make one narrower someday.
Believe it or not, I was lucky enough to accumulate most of the parts needed to make a smaller version of what you are doing. My background is in finance and I haven't a clue on how to even get started, but after watching this video I have a starting point now. My wife thought I was crazy collecting and keeping these parts, when I showed her your video, she was shocked. You just motivated me, thanks. Good luck with you surgery.
I am forever jealous of the stuff you get as scrap. Cool project.
What a feat! You never cease to impress with your ability to take "scrap" and turn it back in to something incredibly useful. Think of all the embedded carbon emissions in all of the things you've repaired; emissions that didn't need to be doubled by the pointless creation of new things.
Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I hope your surgery goes well, and that you have a speedy recovery.
While watching I just kept shaking my head at how much work you were doing. WOW. What a sense of accomplishment this must have been when you finished. Building your own hi tech tool that you actually will get tones of use out of. Incredible sir!!! I tip my hat to you. Not to mention the years of planning and gathering parts. Good luck with your medical work and recovery.
I gotta say, this is some pretty outstanding work using second-hand parts. I have noticed RUclips not showing your stuff in my feed of late. I hope you have a speedy recovery and are able to get back to producing these sweet videos.
You are a man after my own heart. Unfortunately the scrap dealers here in tye United States believe the scrap they buy for pennies is worth 10,000.00 per pound, so these items cannot be salvaged here, And most likely will go to the smelter.
By the way, Germany is so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing another amazing project with us. I pray that all goes well with your surgery, and that you'll be back to normal speed very soon.Take all the time you need to recover, we'll be waiting patiently for you.
I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery, I also hope you find and repair a laser cleaner at the scrap yard to save yourself the endless hours you need with the angle wheel for the rust
I build 3D pr8 tears as a hobby, and it’s always amazing how all CNC machines are essential the same. Just bigger, heavier parts.
Wow, what a beauty of a machine. As a fellow pack rat, I can imagine how exciting it was to find that massive ball screw shaft and those rails and then planning around them. Must have felt good to get it moving under its own programming. Love your work!
Haven't watched the video yet; decided to comment first! Already know this is a prime example of creating extreme value from essentially NOTHING. Great work Gerolf!
UPDATE: Watched the video, assumptions confirmed! Impressed by dedication to using parts on hand with an eye toward service and portability...bravo!
You never fail to amaze, Gerolf. You are a unique and talented individual and I am grateful that you share your abilities with us. I also hope that your recovery goes quickly and well.
I am so impressed by this creation. Your creativity and attention to detail is awesome! I've watched this video twice. I hope your surgery went well and I appreciate all you do!
I enjoy all of your videos. In fact, you have made me even more of a scrap hound who can't stop keeping what other people would call junk stuff.
This one is next level, my friend.
The truth is technical type of content is more entertaining for people who has relevant experience. Simple stuff goes better for views on videos.
The fact that you documented making this is more than amazing, hope you recover quickly from your procedure.
I got to this one late and you'll have had your surgery by now. Hope it was totally successful and you are well on the road to recovery and I really hope the surgery had nothing to do with your back / spinal area. I know a little about that injury and it's not a nice one to have.
*Thank you* for the videos about your incredible builds. 👍👍 You picked up those first pieces around the same time as I was directed to your Channel by another RUclips Content Creator. _Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana._ 😁
You wanna see ingenuity personified? You came to the right place. I really respect this man's work.
that castle is beautiful
This is ridiculously impressive. Donated a bit, not as much as I'd like. I hope everything works out with the surgery.
That large CNC/plasma is a truly capable machine. It's impressive the level of capacity you are building in your workshop. I'm sure that your tenacity and skill will be rewarded. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏
your last vidoe was one of my favorite! im still kind of shocked that you built a functional cnc! youre an amazing person, i pray your recovery from surgery goes well, and fast!
This build is amazing for one made from a scrapyard found bill of materials. I'm blown away. Well done with the machine's performance too!
You truly are a Global treasure your workmanship your craftsmanship your personality you truly are just an all-around great man an inspiration to everyone wanting to be good with their hands and their mind keep up the great work
Brilliant creation. I imagine just having the capabilities of those machines now will open up many more opportunities to make stuff. For all your efforts you certainly have an enviable workshop now.
It's not the time it takes to make it (rather than buying it) it's what you gain from the project! Now you've unlocked new skills, as well as enjoyed the satisfaction of "I made that!". Great job as always. This time, everything from all the collecting and learning finally paid off in a big way!
I've been watching you since I was broke and am proud to help out now that I'm not. Keep it up, you really are a voice in the wilderness.
The power plant shown in the intro was of particular interest to me. I spent the last decade of my career retrofitting old plants (not quite as old as shown) with new switchgear and control systems. Praying for a speedy recovery my friend.
It's in Lisbon along the river front!
@@kevinbeale4879 It appeared to be abandoned or "mothballed". Noticed the generator field out on the floor. A spare perhaps?
A comment as a sacrifice to the algorithm. You have a rare ability to do the practical stuff with your hands and the coding / maths / software to make the hardware work! I am very impressed.
This man is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
The level of skill it's off the charts !!! How can one man knows all of that it's amaizing ! Keep up with the amaizing work ! Greetings from Belgium !
Amazing build and just as you said you now have way more capabilities!
Wow - great to see the large mill taking shape! Good luck with the hospital and hope you recovery quickly!
Wow. I admire your focus and handiwork!
This is so cool. You must be very proud of your accomplishments. Putting these CNC tables together from scraps is no small feat!
You are a highly capable individual and you are very good at helping people with the right mindset see that they can do anything when they put their mind to it.
Very nice build !!you need to add a cooling pump nozzle to the head of the router with that in place your router bits gonna last longer and a vacuum nozzle when you cutt trough woods!:)
Take a look at the oil additive STP, we found it made our cutters and punches live 5 times longer that any other lube. Mix a can in 4 to 5 litres of cheap engine oil.
This and the previous videos are Excellent ! Truly great . I do not understand how they got Less views then the ones before. You just built a very impressive CNC machine from scrap ... that is very very good.
You really are an incredible individual - your engineering skills, ethics, teaching prowess, vand humble generous character are an inspiration to everyone watching this channel - and that's not even to mention your video production skills, they are likely inspiring people too!
Meinen allerhöchsten Respekt für deine Fähigkeiten solche Maschinen aus "Schrott" herzustellen. Alles Gute für die OP. See you soon.
When you have your own company you can make your self an employee number one and have most of the rights that other employees have. A boss is also and employee of an company.
Great job recycling all of those parts! Especially the long stainless steel screw. Your over engineering of things (which I for one like) remind me of how things were built to last from the 50s to the early 80s. After that everything is built to last a few years before needing some expensive maintenance. Even worse today with "disposable trucks and cars."
Marvelous work on those self built CNC machines! You make it look so easy. I never get tired watching you tinker.
You inspire me to repair my own stuff and eventually help other repair their own.
Grüße aus Bayern und ein kleines Dankeschön per Paypal.
What you are doing, behind a veil of technology, is a beautiful thing. It’s beautiful. Thank you.
I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery. 🙏🙏🙏
as a fellow homemade CNC builder, this is magnificent! sourcing the great parts from salvage yards has paid off!
the shop is certainly coming along nicely, hope you recover quickly, good luck with the surgery mate
Now I'm thinking about a milling machine of my own. Best of luck with your surgery, get well soon.
Monumental efforts, admirable results.
Wish You all the best, with the upcoming surgery.
And I wish Us All, to still enjoy decades of TPAI.
👍🏻🎉
🌿👋🏻
Well done that man....great job on the big CNC .....take a rest for a while, get better soon and we'll see you again when your ready.....regards from the UK
I think most people are just more interested in scrapyard finds and what you do with them, than watching you build a plasma table, which is why those episodes attract more viewers.
No. As a *most people* representative, i can confirm this statement is false. We most people are just as interested in building stuff episodes, as in scrapyard find episodes.
God Speed in healing up from your surgery. I ready LOVED this video. It was fantastic.
Nice job turning scrap to a working cnc! That is really fantastic! I also love your ability to see value in recycling old equipment and tools and give them a new life. If everybody did this (what we do, I try to do the same as you ;) ) we would not have a waste problems. Almost anything is reusable with enough knowledge and will! Good luck with your surgery and hope to see a new video soon!!
Alles Gute für die OP. Danke für die tollen Videos.
This has to be the largest and most complicated project on this channel yet! Job well done, and kudos for having the balls to give it a go. Like you said, it needs some tweaks here and there, which is normal for a prototype.
I wish you an expedient recovery Gerolf! I understand that you rely on this (youtube) for income, but the healing process takes as long as it takes. You'll be firing on all cylinders in no time, mate!
Thanks for posting...'tis much appreciated! 🤟
As an old machinist, this is so satisfying to watch! I was constantly doing little jobs at work for home projects - you never know what can be done until you get the training and experience. This is much larger work than I ever did, but I can connect to all of it.
Gerolf, vielen Dank für dieses Video. Für deinen bevorstehenden Krankenhausaufenthalt und deine anschließende Genesung wünsche ich dir alles Gute.
Nice work!!! I remember the first movements I got from my first home built machine….. it was FANTASTIC!!! That morphed into another machine, Then another machine rebuild that was sold o our local Makerspace and is still in use today by a member that bought it from them. It is an INCREDIBLE amount of work to do what you’ve done there; very nice indeed. Please keep up the good work and hope all goes well with your recovery.
Inspiring to watch one man take his ideas, and bring them to life.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good luck with your surgery.
It really shows that you put a lot of effort in your videos and the content has always been inspiring. As long as you make them, I’ll keep watching!
Good luck with the surgery.
I look at what you fix and make with envy. You are indeed, one talented individual.
You have amazing skills - I can’t get my head round where you start in order to build that from those bits, a genuinely amazing achievement. Hope the surgery goes well and your recovery is quick 🤞
Thank you for the video, Gerolf, the progress is massive! Also, I wish you quick recovery after the surgery.
Thats awesome!! We know you have been working up to this project for sometime. Now it expands considerably the possibilities. People are dopamine machines. Quick gratification is what most are after.... thats why bringing old tools from the scrap yard to life is a winner (even though its still bit of a niche audience).
This is great progress, Gerolf. You must be very pleased with what you've achieved so far. Good luck with the surgery. Best regards from Ken in the UK.
Wat een doorzettingsvermogen! Goed gedaan. Sterkte en beterschap toegewenst Gerolf, tot snel!!
Amazing result, loved it. You need to adapt a dust extractor to it.
Wish you a quick recovery from your surgery.
Good luck with the surgery.
Thank you and all the best wishes for your up and coming surgery.
Once again turning trash into a treasure, i always love your videos, and knowing how much work this took is what makes it so amazing, hope yer operation goes well and you heal quickly
Klasse Video Gerolf. Ich bin immer von neuen inspiriert an meiner Fiat Barchetta neue Lösungen zu finden, wenn Teile nicht mehr existieren. Moderne Techniken wie 3d Drucker etc. sind super für sowas. Danke und weiter so.
Good luck with your surgery and I hope you have a easy recovery. RUclips seems to have be moving to a failing business plan wanting content creators to crank out weekly videos and to upload shorts. This among many of the other unreasonable stipulations seems to really hinder the good content and creators. Iv noticed a shift from RUclips being the main income provider for creators to creators sponsored advertising ,merchandise as well as patreon or clubs. Thank you for your dedication and I sincerely hope in time you are appropriately rewarded for all your hard work and passion.
Why are you such a damn legend? Consistent uploads throughout the years and always interesting content. Bravo sir
Is there anything you can't build? Amazing. What an enormous effort you put into your recent builds.
Should be working for Boston Dynamics or Space X.
Brilliant. As someone who has made a functioning ski factory from scrap. All the shaping tools and forms and press. I can appriciate the work going into this project. I will eventually make my own CNC router, while much lower duty than yours it will be bigger in one axis - needs to be over 2m cutting capacity
Amazing - your vision, ingenuity, perseverance, patience, and dedication are incredible! Good luck wih the surgery.
This is definitely the best video you’ve done to date and has taken the most effort to produce (I imagine). Wishing you well for all future projects
Massive guides indeed! That's one big and heavy CNC machine. Proper respect.
great project well built, hope the op goes well rest up and recover
Really awesome work! That's a huge machine, and I'm always impressed by how you can take a bunch of scrap and discarded parts, and turn them into a working machine.
I'm always amazed at your projects, but this is next level entirely! Huge respect and best wishes!
Absolutely blinding job mate. Great job. And speedy recovery!
Fantastic build! Nice to see so many discarded bits turned into something amazing!
adding something for the algorithm.....brilliant work Gerolf.....thank you for your time and effort
