Great work my friend, this is going to be one hell of a timber hauler, ignore the haters, most of them have no clue what they're talking about, keep up the great work my friend. 🇬🇧
Hey Donn, don’t get discouraged. Your videos are always intriguing and deserve high praises for attempting to explore and adapt complex mechanical systems. That 50mm plus reamer.. wow!
Thanks for another entertaining video Donn. I just want to share with you a trick I was taught many years ago, that you may or may not want to try. When using a hole saw to cut anything more than 6mm, once the pilot bit has made its hole just let the saw score the surface of the metal and then drill a few 6mm holes so-as the outside of the 6mm hole is slightly inside the desired hole size. This allows the swarf from the hole saw to fall through the plate and saves having to clear the saw all the time. Or for someone with your measuring skills, use a set of dividers set to 3.5mm smaller than the desired radius, mark the location of the holes, center punch them and drill them before you set the job up in your mill/drill. I usually work on a hole every 60mm of circumference. Yes it does take a bit of time but it seems quicker overall and saws last a lot longer.
Very nice work !! People should know those are Scribing Calipers 😂!! Your Fabricating skills are always a pleasure to watch !! Being out in your shop is peace and quiet in my mind they're is no better place ...to Concentrate and Focus is the center of a creative mind . Very good video always !!
I seen you do that scribing lines with your calipers and remember see a welder in a machine shop that I visited quite often getting work done years ago. That has been one of best things I have learned from watching machinist like yourself thanks love watching you work
Love the carbide tipped calipers. Shame they are damned expensive here in the US. Your videos have given me hope that my hacky way of building things making it up as I go has a hopeful ending and given me quite a bit more confidence. Thanks!
Omg, thank you for sharing, another great part of your project, i learn a lot, always a good moment when i watch you and your project, have a nice week end 👍👍👍👍
There is a quote I heard years ago to say how "good" of a machinist (or any skilled trade for that matter) you were, it went - "Good as any, better than most." That's definitely you!
Donn please don't listen to peanut gallery as their just unaware of exact tools etc your using im pretty sure your a genius to do what your doing as your well above normal intelligence esp considering your doing it from home not a multi $b engineering shop as you have to be a step above others in a full blown engineering shop to be able to build what you do effectively the way you do well done sir your a inspiration and educational to others so don't take it to heart so much keep up the great content
Geez, even if they weren't carbide tipped scribing calipers that you're using to scribe, they're YOUR calipers to use as you see fit. I'd let the haters seethe.
Heyy, your work is brilliant, only people which think that they know everything better (without ever made something on their own) are mentioning such caliper and „security“ topics… keep going🎉
I can watch your builds all day long! Hope you never stop making stuff! Greetings from Norway. Btw these things is called lastbærer in Norway, directly translated to loadcarrier. I have actually been into one of those as a kid in late 80s driving on a steep forrest track. With chains they can almost climb a wall!
My friend, a little hello from France 😉 I have been following you for several years and you do an excellent job. Keep it up, you're a feast for the eyes.
Donn, as far as those who continue to make nasty comments about your scribing calipers, just flush them, you can't fix stupid. Those of us who have been here for multiple builds, know about these calipers. I will be here watching even if those people make dumb comments. We Love You. 😇🥰👍
Us, we dedicated subscribers, AND, viewers, know about your scribing calipers. And, an observant viewer, seeing your skill as a designer and fabricator, would easily assume you knew what you're doing. And even as an occasional viewer, you've told us enough times that we all know about these amazing calipers. Is it possible, that these commentors, who don't know about the scribing calipers from Mitutoyo. The Vernier scribing caliper is product 536 223 for the 12 inch/300 mm. I hope this helps. No, I don't get paid for advertising either. Other than that Donn, loving the build. Like the pivot point, you're right, it's "beefy."
😅 honestly, I'd stop mentioning about those scribing calipers. If they haven't been watching for a couple years like us loyal subscribers, they don't deserve your attention and explanation time. Plus, their comments just boost your algorithm!
Don´t worry about the trolls Donn, Your videos are great and what you do with your tools is up to you. By the way, this build looks pretts sturdy, can´t wait to see in action 👍👍
Always enjoy your videos since a few years now … keep doing and enjoying what you do 😍👍👍😎and the negative comments / insults .. dont let that bother you .. CHEERS from Québec 🇨🇦👍👊
I am extremely impressed with your solutions to this project. It will definitely last! Really interesting and fun to follow this. Following this with excitement! Feel good! Greetings from Dennis, Sweden.
I wish people would learn how to use the big angle grinder more, aint no small angle grinder making big cuts as efficiently and economic as its heavy brother. Keep up the great work, love your content💪🏼
Unfortunately, I can’t find the exact words to describe your unique,unpredictable,unprecedented, unparalleled, unmatched magnificent masterpiece of achievement. Sorry, but, many thanks.
I love the way you are building out this thing, letting the existing parts dictate the critical dimensions of the ones immediately next to them, and so on. It's like you're building a bridge of mechanical linkages across the gap between the two sides of the chassises (chassii? Chasix? Chassen?)
Awesome progress, Donn. Quality engineering and fabrication. Should get some comedy t shirts and hoodies as a line of merchandise. "Mitutoyo baby" on them or a caliper outline with Donn DIY along them
Thank you for your content and especially for your judicious editing skills that accelerate through the mundane functions but then concentrate at 1x speed on the most important aspects of your work. All YT’ers should learn and implement your editing style and choices on their projects. Way too many people seem to think we all repeatedly need to watch them drilling a hole or cutting wood or metal at 1x speed. Yawn. Those “content creators” are rookies compared to your overall pro work and decision making. I wish you were my neighbor.🇪🇪🇺🇸
Absolutely love your video's, been watching for a couple of years now. One thing that I've noticed with this build that could become a problem. The pin on the bottom of the CV joint can't be taken out now. If for whatever reason you need to take that area apart, you can't do so because the CV joint is in the way. If the pin is inserted from the botton up, then it won't be a problem.
How are you going to disassemble this 23:50 pivot assembly? Specifically, how are you going to pull the lower axle (pin) up if the cardan shaft is in the way? --- Как ты собираешься разбирать этот 23:50 поворотный узел? А конкретно, как будешь вынимать нижнюю ось (штифт) вверх, если этому мешает кардан?
@@_shlee73_msk15 он об этом узнает, когда не сможет его туда вставить 😀 Мне больше интересно почему нет узла перелома между рамами, это крепление вывернет на первой же кочке
Love the precision of work with such heavy plate! I wanted to see grease path for those pins but maybe it doesn’t matter…. Hope you will put a “lokomo” badge on it..
That locks like a dream machine , but do not forget to ad a diff lock i have loosed count of hue many times that has gotten me out of tight spots when hauling timber.
Don't give so many explanations... Your friends don't need them, your enemies don't believe them and stupid people don't understand them. Love your work. Cheers from Argentina!
Greetings, I want to say that no matter how much you strengthen the joints of the entire structure, it will show its reliability only during operation and reveal its weaknesses.

Very well built. Heavy duty for your application!
Thanks Donn for your professional work and good sense of humor, we are so many who like it the beefy solid way of design. 🤗
Excellent presentation. Thank you. Your stuff is always build for extreme rugged usage.

I’m like a four-year-old child every time Mr. Chop eats some metal. “Yay! Mr. Chop!”
I’m not sure what it is.
That type of saw is a coldsaw or cold cut saw, you must use coolant with them
Pretty good.
