I work at a mens addiction treatment center in Canada 🇨🇦 im now the night watchman(i once was a patient). I love watching both you and Kurtis from CEE Every chance i get it really passes the time away at work. Have a great weekend Matty. Take care!
Gday, Appreciate you watching and commenting and please keep up the great work, Cheers
Nice job Matty, another tool in the armoury. Cheers, Jon
Thanks Jon, Appreciate you watching mate, Cheers
Marvellous Matty
great tool😉😉👍👍

Thanks very much Kev, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
That's a nice tool to make. Lots of different operations and lots of fun.
Gday Rustinox, there was a few different bits to build mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Works well . We have one at work a bit like a pop rivet gun . You edited out all the good bits with the internal thread ! 👍
Gday Max, Cutting the left hand thread was easy, just couldn't see much, Thanks for watching, Cheers
What a beauty!
Edit: The tool of course, too:)
Thanks mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
I haven't seen the Make It Extreme version but I like this idea. We sometimes have to use and replace RivNuts in truck bodies and a screw version would be far nicer than the lever version we have in the tool shelf at work.
Gday, I’ve only used it once or twice since I made this but it worked well, a lot cheaper the buying one to mate, cheers
Enjoyed the lathe work Matty. Finished result looks great. Cheers Tony
Gday Tony, glad you enjoyed the video mate, cheers
Nice tool. Well made. Before I started in machining, I used rivet nuts to attach armor plate to my Jeep using a commercially available tool.
Thanks Greg, they're a handy thing the rivet nut. Thanks for watching, Cheers
Awesome stuff!
Thanks mate
Putting a horn on a jellyfish, that's a new one Matty 😅.
Great job, fair play in contacting Extreme Engineering channel.
Good to see channel donations in use.
Thanks for sharing
Gday, the donated tools have been getting used, I hope I do get a response from them one day, thanks for watching, cheers
Another beautiful project, Matty. My local Harbor Freight sells the tool for inserting these threaded inserts, but doesn't sell the inserts...too funny.
@dudley toolwright...Love the channel name😎👍
Gday Robert, that’s a bit different really of Harbour Freight, I thought they had everything there, thanks for watching mate, cheers
That looks great Matty. I've modified the design of mine to work that way. I've got all the parts, just need the time to do it. Rivnuts can be a lifesaver sometimes.
Gday Preso, there’s quite a few ways to build this tool I found, thanks for watching mate, cheers
In a pinch I've used two washers and an over sized nut on a bolt to crush them down. Put washer, nut, washer on the bolt and thread it into the riv nut. Put it in the hole and tighten it until it's crushed. Having the tools is great though and I used them whenever I had them.
Gday, if it works it’s a good thing, thanks for watching, cheers
G'day Matty. It looks great. Lovely job you did there. Good on you for giving credit where due. All the best, Mart.
Gday Mart, appreciate you watching and commenting mate, cheers
G'day Matty great bit of turning. Left, Right, threads, even up the centre. 😂 Most of all it works. Great looking tool .Good video, keep up the good work.
Gday Ted, It was all going on mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Great Job Matty. I need to make one for myself.
Gday, this is quite an easy build and doesn’t take long to make, definitely make for a good video mate, cheers
Thanks for another video and tool making session mate. The rivnut spanners a great addition to the workshop. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Gday Mark, it’s going to be handy to have I think, appreciate you watching mate, cheers
You always do a great neat job mate. Very clean1
Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Great video Matty. Some of your close up work takes some beating. Thanks for taking the time
Gday Robert, all the filming is done on a GoPro Hero 7, it just works mate, thanks for watching, cheers
I need to get around to making one of these. I have a bunch of rivnuts that im going to put int my pegboard but I haven't had the time to borrow the tool. Cheers
Gday, they don’t take long to build, better then borrowing one, thanks for watching, cheers
Great job Matty👍🏻
Thanks very much, cheers
Nice job 👍👍👍
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching and commenting mate, cheers
what a good job mate!!👍👍
Thanks mate, Cheers
You made a ice job of that 👍
Thanks very much, Cheers
If they can’t be bothered to respond to you then they sure as hell better not be bothered by your admiration to their build. And if they are let us know, I’ll unsubscribe from them. Great job!
Gday, I think the problem is they get that many comments and messages it’s hard to read them all, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Still got a box of 1/4 Whitworth Hank bushes from my apprentice days and just like these rivnuts, they work best with a squirt of mig on them !
I've made a couple of rivnuts in the past to replace a mirror on a tractor cab where the originals were spinning in a box section with a rusted screw seized in them, a piece of EN1A and a straight knurl did the job after a couple of test runs on some scrap, then it was on to Amazon for a pic n mix selection for future snafu's.
Gday, I need to buy an assortment pack of different inserts, good idea making your own, thanks for watching, cheers
Nice looking tool Matty. On my list to get one or make one.
Gday, definitely make one before buying one mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Always a pleasure to watch. Great job Matty!
Thanks very much, appreciate you watching and commenting, cheers
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
But I’d rather watch you 😁
Gday, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Great build Matty, nice mods as well. Enjoyed the vid, cheers mate!
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
Hey Matty, it's a nice tool, once again!
I've seen Make It Extreme's channel, he makes huge things, even a tank for his kid! Think he must be a company behind him, he uses a ton of materials, surely not cheap to get either.
Thanks again and until next time 👍💪✌
Gday, they really make some really interesting projects and there filming is spot on, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Great Job Matty love your work
Thanks very much Paul, appreciate you watching as always mate, cheers
A handy tool to work in tighter spaces. A good tip of the hat to make it extreme. I'm sure others have copied some of your builds, such as the oil can. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful beach at the end
Gday Ken, the beach at the end is about 5mins from home here, Aslings Beach, thanks for watching mate, cheers
Nice, I should make one of my own!
Defiantly make yourself one, There not hard to make, Cheers
Looks great Matty!
Well done mate
Great result Matty. Far better than my Chinese made one. Your tig welding skills are definitely better than mine!
Cheers
Andrew
Gday Andrew, I really need to get a decent tig and do a lot practicing, thanks for watching, cheers
good job matty
Thanks very much mate, cheers
Nice job Matty!
Thanks mate
Another cool build. I want to make something like that.
Gday, go for it and make yourself one, there a really easy build, thanks for watching, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop I've ordered some thrust bearings. Will see if I can get going on some of the other parts meanwhile - and I will almost certainly make some changes to the design - simply because the material I have isn't 50mm... Nor are the bearings that the 1 1/4" diameter that I think you used... :)
Hi Matty, you could still make and harden a couple of inserts. Suggestion for a great video! No recognition required on my end! God Bless
Gday, I’ll definitely be hardening the inserts in the future mate, thanks for watching, cheers
G'day Matty awesome tool and great handle idea mate. I get my riv nuts off Ebay can't beat the price of the packs of them.
Gday, the handle idea was Trevor’s, I just built it, im going to check EBay out soon, thanks for watching, cheers
Very absorbing video, thanks Matty. I think I will stick to doing mine with a high-tensile bolt and a couple of greased washers. You always seem to put up a video just when there's a dearth of good content, so thanks for that..
Gday Mike, glad you enjoyed the video mate, im going to have a go with the 2 washes and ht bolt, thanks for watching, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop You normally get about 3 uses out of the bolt and washers before they are munged up beyond belief. I went for 3 washers, 2 thick stainless steel ones, and a brass one between, with a dab of black CV joint grease as high pressure lube. Part of a mounting kit for a magnetic lock, that came with thick steel washers, so I substituted stainless I had already, and the brass, as the steel washers lasted one hole, along with the included screw. Then went out later and got the cheap setting tool, makes it so much easier, and a lot less blue language. Took the tool out of the plastic display pack, and used an old plastic jar to hold both the dies, and the packs of rivnuts as well, so that they did not get lost.
Nice job! I like the compact design. I just bought a kit with the two handled crimper. And I used too much force on the first rivnut and broke the pin.... 😊
Gday Mick, I looked at a few different types and some are really big, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
Nice work
Thanks very much
G'day Matty, great job there mate, be sure to last a lifetime (if you don't go all king kong on it 😂) tig welding looked bob on to me too, nicely done and thoroughly enjoyed it
Gday Ralfy, i really need to upgrade the tig, anything would be better the scratch start mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Excellent build Matty, whatz up with the eye, pissed off the lady right,lol 😂. Great video, keep'um coming
I probably said saying I shouldn't of like normal🤣 Im bloody good at that, Cheers
Interesting tool. The book of bullsh*t. Hah ha. I think I will call mine the pad of pain. Because it sure is painful when I screw up. LOL!
Gday Tom, sometimes I wonder why I use the book'a'bullshit mate, Cheers
Lovely solid device with a beautiful finish! If you use a cordless drill driver rather than impact driver, you can set the torque limit ;-)
Gday, I should have set the torque on the drill but I didn't mate, I will next time, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Nice one Matty
Thanks very much, cheers
Looks good sir.
Thanks very much
@@MattysWorkshop you are welcome! You produce great looking items. I’d be happy if I made stuff that looked half as good.
. might be worth modifying the end to accept the treaded portion ofa high tensile bolt , especially with the smaller inserts
Gday, I’m going to have to do something like this mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Awesome tool Matty. Ideally i guess the threaded stud would be made from high tensile steel. & maybe a dab of grease on the threads each time used. Take care. By the way great video.
Steve.
Gday Steve, I still have to make the 6 and 8mm inserts yet, I’ve been a bit lazy mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Great work, Matty! How about putting a little locktight on them?
Mike
Gday Mike, that’s a great idea mate, thanks for watching, cheers
locktight doesnt grow on trees ,its better to make hole a tiny bit smaller(you can buy metric drills in 0.1 mm divisions) and hammer it in.
you can always dab a dot of super glue on the outside of the rivnut before crimping if its critical not to spin.
Gday, that would work good and even loctite would work, thanks for watching, cheers
Great result Matty. ya misses whack ya eye mate ? stop spending money , just ribbin ya ol mate😀
I think i'd have a bit more then a scratch under the eye if the cook got me mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Great build Matty. Some excellent machining. That's a real heavy duty tool. Some of the commercial versions look very flimsy by comparison. Well done mate. Cheers Nobby
Gday Nobby, I don’t think I’ll wear it out any time soon mate, thanks for watching, cheers
Put a horn on a jellyfish. I haven't used that expression in yonks. Us old fellas have to stick together have yourself a like and a subscription. Guessing you're a Queenslander?
Gday, You dont hear that saying much now, Originally from Vic now in NSW, Thanks for watching, Cheers
That pin that pulls the nut into compression needs to be hard because it will streatch and snap as regular as clockwork been there
Thats what the first one did, Second one is a lot stronger, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Enjoyed, nice work! Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching mate, cheers
On your thread adapter, d/t for the appropriate set screw for your nut-sert. That way when, not if, it breaks its a simple repair.
Gday, thanks a great mate, thanks for watching, cheers
grab a few cards they are cheap enough. just ensure you get the high speed ones class 10 or so.
love the content and the aussieness.
Thanks for watching, cheers
G'day Matty, that's a hell of a good build mate! In those small sizes ie, 5 &6 mm you are very much up against it with what materials you make the puller from. And if you don't actually know exactly what the steel is it's a bit of a roulette wheel as to the results. I would try to use a long high tensile socket cap screw and use that as the puller, threading it into the rest of the puller part and soft soldering the high tensile thread into the body. As you get up to the 8 and even 10 mm sizes you're not as susceptible to the breakage I'd hope, but again you can use the same ht bolt idea again. Your fit and finishes are superb and everything you make just looks right on the money. I think I asked you before but what's the type of the triangular insert you use for your wonderful finish cuts. I've at last found a UK supplier of decent carbide inserts rather than the unfinished or just plain crap Chinese ones you find on eBay . Apparently some of these cheap ones are rejects that have not been formed properly, or even been sharpened at all. No wonder I can't get decent finishes on my work lol. Anyway mate another successful build under your belt! Cheers from the UK Sam
Gday Sam, the inserts are TNGG, the ones I use are from livetools, the brand is Union Materials from memory, have a look on aliexpress as well, thanks for watching mate, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Yes use a M8 bolt as the material, and then machine it down and put the M5 and M6 thread into the end, or use a stubby one, and drill the bolt head and tap it back, then simply take a long 10.8 M5 and M6 screw, and remove the head, and screw into the bolt. Regard them as disposable, as they will all fail with time, but with a thread to go into this should last at least 2 or 3 dozen sacrificial puller rods.
@@MattysWorkshopthanks mate will give them a look. Cheers Sam
Another beautiful and useful shop made tool. Out of curiosity was there a specific reason for the left hand thread or was it just to make it easier for turning so you start the thread from the back instead of trying to pull up the thread in a tight spot. If this is a tool you might use often you might also want to consider a torque wrench if you don't already have one that way you would be able to work out how much force you actually need to use to get the right amount of squash without risking another snapped thread. It would also give you a consistent way of doing multiple inserts as well.
Gday, the left hand thread is there to stop the cap from winding off when you unwind the tool after you have squashed the river nut down, Good idea of using a torque wrench, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Hi Mat Nice bit of kit. What's the weight, for I was thinking if one was doing 1mm 1,2 mm0r 1.5 sheet there may be cause for the sheet to flex. i can see sheets above 3mm it would work great as one could torque down the insert with eze
Gday, it’s really not the heavy, I do understand what your saying though, thanks for watching, cheers
Matty, what is your compound set for during both left or right hand threading? Do you use it or just the cross slide to advance the cutter?
Gday, I don’t angle the compound anymore, I find it easier just using the cross slide, thanks for watching, cheers
@@MattysWorkshop You angle compound to make knife cutting with just a half of profile which reduces forces.Its good when you make profile threads like acme or trapezoid.Most of todays carbide inserts will cut with full profile V threads without problems in multiple passes. Exception to this is stainless steel and hss ground knifes ,there you just have to use compound angled .
First 3 minutes... Its why i essentially always check my first 5 experimental passes on a certain material of a certain diameter made with a certain cutter, with a micrometer... I establish the whole behaviour of the system on a short section that will be either a special nut or some pin in the far future, once the project is done, before starting the real cuts in material... That allows me to find the best cut range, which then allows me to calculate the job and make say 9 passes with an insert, before flipping the insert in the holder on the fresh side and taking a finishing pass that is the same depth as the normal turning passes, but with adequate feed and speed to result in an even better finish, while granting me the required dimension after the part is cooled...
Also, Mat, does the lathe(yours) come with an automatic cutout on the powerfeeds? I always see people fussing about threading, and while i havent used mine, as she is being restored(very slowly), my big lathe has adaptive automatic clutches on the main powerfeed, and through that, on the crossfeed aswell... So once set up so that the clutch doesnt kick out due to cutting forces, the stop can be set anywhere along the ways, and once the carriage bumps into the (hard and short)spring loaded stop, the clutch instantly kicks out, and the carriage moves the stop plunger say a 0.01mm before coming to complete rest, allowing you to back out, back away and trip the powerfeed lever back on for another pass... Sure, Joe Pie method is great, no denial there, but i am wondering do these modern lathes come with carriage clutches for powerfeed? Hell, does even the good old Colchester that Mark own have a clutch for that, as i seem to recall him bemoaning the threading at some point due to pucker factor that the threading to a shoulder incurs...
Gday, my lathe doesn't have a cutout clutch on the power feeds, It would be a good thing but I haven't seen any small lathe have this feature, not the ones I've looked at anyway, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop
`s interesting - that... One would expect that modern lathes would employ such a relatively simple mechanism... In my case, its a spring loaded twin ball clutch arrangement with preloaded plates with detents, somewhat like a torque wrench, but on a more massive scale, as it neednt fit a 1/2 inch compartment, but has a 4x4x4inches of space to confine to...
Its a great design, virtually disallowing you any real crashes if set up correctly...
Its a simple setup that lets you engage either form of auto-feed and wait until the lever kicks out, before clutching in the handwheel(its own clutch, or rather, gear mesh) to return the carriage back where you want the cut to restart from...
I love that lathe, literally... The whole assembly and the magnificence of its craft is on the monarch level, and after almost 90 years most likely since her casting, she still can be rebuilt to oem spec with just a few bushing changes, bearing swap and some scraping(preferably with rulon/turcite addition to maintain the geometry)...
I will start filming my work on her, as she like 8 other of my machines is a work in progress for now, so there will be some display of her glory, but for now, i have a bit too much other shit on my hands, and touching anything will just smear crap all over anything i do before im finished with what i have to contend with for now...
Thx for the vid.
Thanks for watching mate, cheers
Between you and Kurtis, I'm gunna end up with a lathe and a mill...... from your point, is it easy to get forgiveness or permission 😂......and that rivnut tool is way better than the hunk of junk I've been using...
Gday, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you end up with a lathe and mill, it’s a bloody good hobby, I just wanted to let them know I was building something similar to there’s and give them credit for the idea, hopefully they’ll see the message one day, thanks for watching, cheers
Matty, what happened to your eye? Wife catch you eating her chocolates!👊 👍🏴
Gday, self inflicted mate, if I got caught eating the wife’s chocolate I’d have a squeaky voice if you know what I mean 🤣
Seems a little extreme 😂
😂
Hey Matty, what release of your "Book of Bullshit", do you use, I'm still using the V.2022.2
Stock standard issue mate, I have to no frills version
Your book of B.S isnt a Haynes manual is it?
those things are full of utter bull*%@! especially for cars
I think you did a nice job of giving credit where its due, so no worries there. You can only do just so much and they did put it out on youtube for people to try.
Looks like a useful bit of kit for blind holes and shelving and the like.
Thanks for sharing and I will go and have a look at make it extreme
Gday, definitely have a look at Make it Extreme’s version, they did a brilliant job of filming the build to, way better than mine, sometimes I have trouble reading my book of BS simply because I’m the one the rights it’s, now that’s a worry, thanks for watching, cheers
Damn, that's chunky Matty, works well, but don't drop it on your foot mate..
Gday, it’s chunky but not as heavy as you’d think but still not gunna drop it on my foot, thanks for watching, cheers
Do you sell this for USA?
Gee...What happened to the other bloke?
Self inflicted mate
@@MattysWorkshop I know THAT feeling!
As I like to say "It should grow back"
👍
Thanks for watching mate, cheers
Respect to the tool you made and all the work you put into it but why people even bother with tool for these rivet nuts ?Get different sizes of 10.9 strength bolts and nuts and you are good to go in a fraction of price and no time.
Place a rivet nut in a hole then add washer ,then hex nut and screw hex bolt in the rivet nut.Hold a hex bolt with a wrench while with another you tighten the nut and thats it.
You can use socket and ratchet to hold bolt as well or if you want to make dedicated key for it you can just buy cheap wrench set and weld a hex bolt to it.
lidl sold these pliers for and some rivets for 35$,but they were expensive for me so i bought a box of rivet nuts for less than 10$ and i spent another 5$ on bolts.
Eine Schraube und ein paar Unterlegscheiben hätte es auch getan.
Definitely but building this was more enjoyable
@@MattysWorkshop 👍👍👍
I think that you over-designed it. You could have been setting them long before with nuts, bolts, and washers that I am sure you have in your garage already.
Possibly did but I enjoyed building the tool, thanks for watching, cheers
Well done mate
Thanks mate, you got first comment too, cheers
