This new version of the "shop tour" video, now in HD with good sound, is an absolute treasure! Thanks Dan and camera person (editor, etc) for creating it!
Hello Mr Gelbart, from reading all the comments I see that many like myself would love to see the design of the mechanism that moves the adjustable chuck in the two axes of motion. Thanks for putting out such high quality content!
Hi Mr Gelbart, I second this, I would really appreciate if you can show more detail of the zeroing chuck, even hand drawing will be great. Thanks for the work you put redoing this video.
I'm not jealous, I'm in absolute awe! It's not the workshop so much as the man who built it. This is a glimpse at a lifetime's knowledge. Dan is a true master. Quick edit to say, after watching this video I couldn't resist a bit of research into Dan's background story. It makes as fascinating reading as the video and is well worth it if you really want to understand how he built all of this.
Could you tell us a little about his background please? I’m sure everyone that watched this video would want to know. I thought maybe he was a professor or something.
Dan, for the sake of humanity, I hope you have at least a dozen apprentices, so that maybe half of your irreplaceable knowledge is not lost when you finally can't carry on.
HI Dan, It's been such a long time since you posted an videos on RUclips and i really enjoyed the work you did and even the workshop machinery walk throughs, it would be great to see what you've been up to in the last 2 years. Fingers crossed we get another video one day.
This is a very lovely video Mr.Gelbart, thank you for a tour of your workshop! I hope you have many happy days ahead. I was always wondering when you'd upload again! I'm glad you did, :) thank you
Thanks for reupload. Now I have an excuse to rewatch this shop tour. This time in glorious HD :) Edit: It is actually rerecorded! Even though structure of the video is the same, but description of each machine is slightly different. This is even better, I could watch whole video series by Gelbart just about jig borer.
What a wonderful treat. Mr Gelbart is, I imagine, too modest to know how extraordinary he is. One of the great communicators in the precision engineering field.
This is the type of guy any young man would appreciate having in his life. They just don't make them like this anymore. Amazing talent, incredible knowledge and a work ethic made inconel. Good on you sir.
Glad you redid the video, I saw things I didn't see the first time, and the sound was much better. I guess there will be a second part since it was shortened.
Within the first 10 minutes of the video, I realised I love this guy. It upsets me that I don't know anyone personally to send this video to, who would also share my admiration.
I am speechless, this is possibly the best personal shop I've ever seen, just the sheer precision thoughtfully placed into every object in there speaks magnitudes of you as a person! You are like the final evolution of the little demon sitting on my shoulder during every project, pleading with me to make my part just that much more precise and hunt down a few more zeros, however... you actually got there, everything in there allows you to actually get to that level of precision reliably. Hats off to you sir, for you have built the home shop that every engineer and machinist around the world has wet dreams about! Thanks for this fantastic tour Dan! I am now going to go sit in my shop and ponder a few of my life choices... and potentially invest in a bit more granite.
Who, besides the Mac bunch, would give this right to repair fella a thumbs down? Please, Dan, say you're training a few wizard apprentices so this old school attention to detail isn't lost. I don't know what else to say that's remotely worth saying other than you are amazing. Thanks for the tour.
I whatched both versions of the shop tour there are a few new informations in this one. Thanks for the nice video. I would be very interested in the lathe chuck atachment with the ground and papped disks. I just can't imagine how they acually hold together to keep the rigidity. If you could show us a sketch it would be awesome. Same for the electronics of the spotwelder a schematic would be very nice.
This level of quality and diligence is what makes the world go round. We have an expectation that trains won't derail, airplanes won't fall out of the sky, your stove won't burn your house down and your TV won't electrocute you all thanks to Mr. Gelbart and others like him.
Hey Mr. Gelbart. Glad to see you’re still commenting here. Want you to know just how much i’d Really appreciate seeing some new videos. Anything. We’re desperate here don’t make us beg
I am indeed impressed by your workshop. Moreover, Im awestruck by your knowledge. We should all take adopt your commitment to excellence. Thank you. Please continue with the videos as they are educational and inspirational.
Very nice video, Dan. First time I visited your channel. It's like taking class from a favorite professor. An engineer, craftsman and teacher all rolled into one. You undoubtedly are getting a lot of new viewers via AVE's belt and suspenders comment. I will check out your other videos. I'm sure you'll do well if you keep making videos of this quality as they can be very inspirational to a broad spectrum of people. Some RUclipsr's are entertaining but it is good to come across someone that is well rounded and able to teach not only a lot of different crafts but also life skills. An example of the later is to work hard with what you have and be resourceful to acquire or build what you need.
Thank you for updating the shop tour, any video you release is a must see and always very educational. I wish you had more time to make videos documenting your thought processes and methods. Your understanding of many disciplines cross pollinates to make brilliant connections. I understand your working as a researcher and producer and am sorry you are not training hundreds of people in your methods, only so many hours in a year.
Hey Dan Gelbart I’m a 23 year old Industrial Mechanic from Norway, who loves to dive to the deepest depth of everything related to what you do. I wish I could steal all of your experience and knowledge and build on that, I wonder how that would turn out when I reach your age. This was my first video and I will go look at all the others so you can teach me more of your knowledge. You are perfect for my life. Keep up the fantastic work and share what you have learned :)
Fantastic tour! Just received your Rapidia metal 3D printing system for our R&D shop at work and excited to get it up and running on Monday. Thanks for making the dream a reality, Dan!!!
This is by far the most impressive workshop I have ever seen. The level of detail is just mind boggling. I can only hope to achieve 10% of the knowledge that this man carries with him
I think my life is less important than what I learned, so I'm concentrating on trying to pass that on. In a few years I'll have much more time to make videos.
Dan, I agree with K W. A video series about your life and what you have done, would be much apreciated. Knowledge transfer is very important, but so is inspiration. I know we are asking a lot, but I hope you would find some joy in it too. Thank you for all the videos you have made. I have watched them all, many times.
This is insane... My jaw kept dropping at all the thought and intention that went into this. It would be quite the experience to set foot in a workshop like this, let alone own it! Well done!
Dan, thank you so much for making these videos. I've been working in hardware prototyping for the past 10 years and I keep coming back to your videos finding new things that just blow my mind. Hope life is treating you well!
I once considered myself an intelligent man, I was wrong. Hat tip to you sir, I am in awe of your creations and abilities… you inspire me to create further.
Dan, in your previous 18-part masterclass, you touch upon topics relating to some (but not all) of the equipment you show today. Would you consider doing a series of _deep-dives, one single instrument at a time_ ? For example - your sheet bending brake 9:30 or the "Waterjet cut and milled where needed" tooling and fixtures on and around the wire-saw 33:30 or the Ultradex at 5:30 or the methanol-modded oven at 24:30? Pretty please?
Thank you for reshooting with a much better quality! Very interesting, and one can tell that all this equipment serves a purpose and really gets used. A question: Does the diamond wire saw (32:45) use a loop of plated wire, or is it a long length of plain wire spooled from one drum to another plus some diamond slurry?
Good Morning Dan, Hope you remember me. This is Surinderpal Ghotra. I was privileged enough to do few projects with you in very early days of Creo. Air Bearing Roundness tester and few other projects. I must say the inspiration given by you carried on with me & now I own & run Cimtech Green Energy Inc. Canada’s largest Fuel cell components and assemblies manufacturer. Thanks for your guidance and inspiration.
Ammazing. Thanks for doing it in HD. I am in love with the air bearing lathe!.. You have a lovey workshop just pure joy to see and hear the details. Thanks
The content on this channel is nuts. Watch this mad scientist flex his genius and collection on the commoners Total goldmine, all of these videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with everyone.
Dan this is awesome. I'm an old bloke and wonder where my workshop will go when I'm gone. I hope you have a worthy recipient for this magnificent collection of perfection.
We demand more videos. :D thanks for taking the time to redo this lab tour. You really have one of the most amazing workshops I have ever seen. I dream to have even a fraction of the tools at some point in my life.
It is amazing to think how accurate we have learned to manufacture parts. Your last video sent me down the rabbit hole and I found a company in my city that produces a lathe with
I'm carefully watch SD video 5 times - and since previous version i made 2 axis balancing stand with help of network analyzer. Works perfect ! Is a cheapest solution in the world for precision instrument.
@@janbeck8269 not sure. But scheme is very simple. Two stand with prism for shaft holding and tensosensors in classic bridge connection for force measurement. Each stand have 2 bridges in perpendicular axis's. And off course - position sensor 1 pulse prr. Pulse inject in synchro channel. Because Analyzer have memory and stand almost rigid - only need one full turnover with constant speed of measured object with test mass and one without. Test re balance two spindles for PCB drilling 80K rpm- all good.
@@janbeck8269 If you want make ultrahigh precision unit - make two interferometer sensor as described in this video ruclips.net/video/MUdro-6u2Zg/видео.html
Incredible amount of knowledge and experience in such a short video. Thank you for sharing this with us. My first video I've seen of yours but will definitely be watching all your others.
I'm a machining student, iv been interested in machining for well over a decade now. I spend alot of time watching videos about machining and workshops. But THIS video! WOW! I legitimately have my jaw on the floor watching this.
I had to look up the definition of a arcsecond. That is actually BONKERS. For those of you who, like me, havent heard of a arcsecond before: First you need to know what a arcminute is. A arcminute is a angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree, thats 1/21,600th of a turn. an arcSECOND is 1/60th of a arcMINUTE or 1/3600 of a degree or 1/1,296,000 of a turn... If were to turn that rotary table one arcsecond every second it would take you roughly 3500 years to do one full rotation.
Hello Dan ... what an inspirational video and what a motivational life story (Canada, Creo etc.) Thanks a lot for the insights and I hope that you continue your Workshop Tour series. Based on the comments you see, that I am not the only one being interested :) Greetings, Stefan.
This is a beautiful workshop, full of many wonderful machines you have built, bought and modified. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge passion, and space with us.
I highly appreciate the old school look of the workshop. I wonder how many time it takes to actually understand every machine and operate them properly.
I can imagine; if we could go back in time and do a RUclips workshop tour with Thomas Edison it would be a lot the same as Dan Gelbarts. Dan; thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with the world! I kept thinking the whole time how amazing it would have been to be a young lad / lady living next door and getting to visit your shop and absorb all the knowledge. Your expansive knowledge of material science, electrical, mechanical, and fabrication is mesmerizing. Thank you for all the inspiration :)
Dan very nice, thank you for sharing. Your experience and equipment melded with creativity. A room full of apprentices could learn from a man like you Dan, a generation to learn the work they will love. As ideas are imagined and planned having the right equipment so enables ideas to become reality. To know how many technologies we embrace today were developed in a basement or garage. Cheers to you Dan I wish you the best!
A true inspiration! I have anjoyed every one of your videos. Thank you for sharing a micron of your knowledge with us. Please do not hesitate to make a video if you have any ideas.. I am sure i speak for many when i say these sorts of insights are hard to come by these days. Thank you
Hi Dan. Thanks you for your inspiring videos and for sharing your knowlede. You wisdom is admirable! could you give some more info about the video microscope you showed? Please keep enriching us with your enourmous knowledge. You are example to all engineers out there!
Video microscope: you buy a rear view camera kit and change the lens on the camera to a lens with a focal length og about 50mm (anything from 30 to 60mm is OK). The lens is mounted in a tube painted on the inside with flat black paint.
Belt and Suspenders! Now here's a man who knows how to keep his britches in their place.
To within a micron, no less.
God bless
You can never be too safe.
Too many years of the ladies trying to tear them off him💯.
Ain’t nobody got time for that!!
I am assuming this is standard german house furnishings, no?
This new version of the "shop tour" video, now in HD with good sound, is an absolute treasure! Thanks Dan and camera person (editor, etc) for creating it!
Hello Mr Gelbart, from reading all the comments I see that many like myself would love to see the design of the mechanism that moves the adjustable chuck in the two axes of motion. Thanks for putting out such high quality content!
It would be great if he would let someone reverse engineer all his homemade tools and share the prints.
When he said "the accuracy is better than collets" my thoughts went out to the hurt feelings of Robin. But here you are ready for the next leap! 😎
Hi Mr Gelbart, I second this, I would really appreciate if you can show more detail of the zeroing chuck, even hand drawing will be great. Thanks for the work you put redoing this video.
Exactly the same wonder here!
@@daniloxyz No hurt feelings, most of my collet noses are adjustable tir also. :-)

am I dead and in heaven? 2nd Dan Gelbert video in a year? you spoiling us!
I could have happily watched a few hours of that
"Let's say I want to drill a hole trough this dust speck" - Greatest machine shop quote I ever heard on RUclips :D
The most amazing thing about all of that equipment is the wizard that knows how to use it all. What a treasure of a human being.
This is a very lovely video Mr.Gelbart, thank you for a tour of your workshop! I hope you have many happy days ahead. I was always wondering when you'd upload again! I'm glad you did, :) thank you

Nothing beats coming home from a boring day's work and seeing a new Gelbart video. Thank you
Within the first 10 minutes of the video, I realised I love this guy. It upsets me that I don't know anyone personally to send this video to, who would also share my admiration.

I'm a machining student, iv been interested in machining for well over a decade now. I spend alot of time watching videos about machining and workshops. But THIS video! WOW! I legitimately have my jaw on the floor watching this.
I had to look up the definition of a arcsecond.
That is actually BONKERS. For those of you who, like me, havent heard of a arcsecond before:
First you need to know what a arcminute is. A arcminute is a angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree, thats 1/21,600th of a turn.
an arcSECOND is 1/60th of a arcMINUTE or 1/3600 of a degree or 1/1,296,000 of a turn...
If were to turn that rotary table one arcsecond every second it would take you roughly 3500 years to do one full rotation.
I would give anything to talk with this man for a few days he is the man I would love to have the knowledge he has picked up in his life

Hi Dan. Thanks you for your inspiring videos and for sharing your knowlede. You wisdom is admirable! could you give some more info about the video microscope you showed? Please keep enriching us with your enourmous knowledge. You are example to all engineers out there!
Video microscope: you buy a rear view camera kit and change the lens on the camera to a lens with a focal length og about 50mm (anything from 30 to 60mm is OK). The lens is mounted in a tube painted on the inside with flat black paint.
