Great Video 142 Really enjoyed it. The first side you faced on the lathe, can i just say, that there is no need to spend so much time truing it up as you are only facing it. Close enough is good enough. Also a wee tip on drilling a hole bigger. with the drill press off, bring the drill down onto the hole with a wee bit of pressure and while not holding the vice or job, turn, the drill backwards by hand (keeping some pressure on) This will move the job, center to the drill. Then start drilling. Look forward to watching more of you vids.
Thanks for this, you can never have enough good oil cans. I thought the best part of the video was demonstrating how to true up rectangular stock in a 4-jaw chuck. Has always frustrated me, and now it won't. Well, actually it still will, but now I'll know where I'm headed and where I'm supposed to end up :) Thanks again.
Hi ! That was right in time for me - two days more and I've started my own drawing of that beast - thx for sharing this DIY of this very useful tool ! Now I just have to convert it to metric AND the stock I have in my shop ! Really nice project - thx for sharing again !
+Keld Sørensen They have been saying that the metric system would take over imperial since before even you were in diapers. It hasn't happened yet and likely never will.
with respect to that sign being the new shop logo, I think it would look good as the header image for the RUclips channel page, you ought to talk to the fellow who made it and see if you can get ahold of the cad files
Use a clear spray lacquer. I have use Krylon and others with very good effect. I have a polished aluminum street sign out on a pole that has been outside for ten or more years and has none of the discoloration that it would normally get. I also use it on machine tables. In a few years you can give it another spray with no prep other than a quick wipe. Very effective. Like the oil can project. How about a metal drip oiler for the metal bandsaw. A guy made one of plastic on the tube but I am sure you could dress it up and make a better valve. Nice work. Doug
+Douglas Thompson I picked up a can I just have to get around to spraying it. I don't like the oil on the saw just because I don't like the mess. If I could have it stationary and build a pan I may consider it.
Greg . . . If you ever loose your job as an HVAC tech, you can go into runway modeling. You might try the active runway at Logan International! (lol) ... Thanks for the great video on making your own Eagle oil can. Have a good one! Dave
Very cool project. When you centered that stock in the 4-jaw--Very informative. Something I would never have even thought to do. However, I would have thought the more critical requirement would have been to tram the edge parallel to your ways to ensure squareness of the facing cut. Had you already done that, or are you just trusting the jaws on the 4-jaw?
Hi looking for a pdf file for plans I clicked the link in the description and looks like the file is dead. You wouldn’t have one stored on your computer you could email me? Would be amazing and I would really appreciate it. Thank you
Also, I missed a bunch of the mods you did on your bandsaw. I saw when you balanced the wheels and when you added the sheet metal, but I missed the vise jack, the pneumatic lift, and the knurled handles. You can't say that thing's made in China anymore!
small diam tubing??? try brake pipe, steel or copper. you can get the fittings to suit. in steel or brass, Greg,,, why did you do the long first drilling in the press when you already had it set up and centred in the lathe,,, easier and more accurate. you could even cut the thread as well before disturbing it.
Hi Greg,Do you need to do something more than just register at hobby machinist to get the plans?I registered and can't download the plans....great vid. by the way.Wayne
+DSCKy You could do it like that also. I was just afraid I'd over tighten the vice and make a flat spot in the aluminum and i was afraid that if the blade grabbed for some reason it would turn the stock.
Hello there Like the way U did the setting on the 4 jaw with this odd sized piece. For us it was one of those..."so that' how it's done" projects Well explained and well done. Only thing we reckon for rookies and the varied audience U have, U should take it a bit easy. Just slow down. Seems like U in kind some big hurry to get some place ??? No offence meant. Just our two cents since we've been watching most Your stuff Take care aRM
+aR M Part of it is I have an extremely limited amount of shop time. Usually only get to do projects one or two nights a week and then editing takes a long time. I'm going to work on better spacing and cutting down each video length, but adding more parts.
Yes it's in the bandsaw mod play list. All it is is a 1/8" x 4" plate bolted to the original vice jaws with a jack screw on one side so you can cut small length material.
GREG With all due respects, what we found even on the other YT Videos, no matter how euridite and experienced the Demonstrating Machinist, is the amount of time taken to specifically show the long Machining run on a given job. U will agree that the most important part of MACHINING is "SETUP TIME" and once that is explained and done with, Your Audience need not be belaboured with the tedious, lengthy demo of the actual Machining job. Turning is turning, no matter the machine or the Cutter used. Short, quick, simple excerpts of the running Job should suffice. That would, in all events, take lesser time, maybe entail more editing, yes, and maybe permit U to elaborate verbally more on other important aspects of the Video project. GREG, all said and done, we very much appreciate Your esteemed time taken to record these Videos. We had this as an impending project and are busy compiling the small parts order with MMC. The small Diameter Tubing is proving a pain to source, but guess comprises can be made. All the best and Take Care aRM
Nice start to the project, I'm on my way to watch part 2 right now mate.
Matt
It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job Greg really enjoyed it
Will be continuing to watch your channel you do good stuff and present it well 👍🏆
Oh this is gonna be great. I am still working on the down feed project, so this one will have to wait. Great video....Ken

Beautiful i might just have to build on too. Nice job Greg
Man..this is a cool project. I'm looking forward to this build. Bart

Hi !
That was right in time for me - two days more and I've started my own drawing of that beast - thx for sharing this DIY of this very useful tool !
Now I just have to convert it to metric AND the stock I have in my shop !
Really nice project - thx for sharing again !
What's this metric you speak of :-)
*****
Ha, ha - you'll find out ...the imperial system will die as the dinosaurs - meanwhile I maybe have to get a digital caliper ;-))
+Keld Sørensen
They have been saying that the metric system would take over imperial since before even you were in diapers. It hasn't happened yet and likely never will.
@@keldsor 7 yrs later and the imperial system of measurement is still going strong lol.
Nice start to your project.
NIce project. Good lesson in laying out and doing drilling on a drill press.
Looking to become a nice oilcan, I will keep following it and build one, (or two), for my own..Thanks!!
Nice project Greg!

I like those calipers and swag-shirts - I'm jealous, I want one too!
I have a distinct feeling they may make an appearance in one of your future videos.
Great project! The fashion parade made me laugh too :)

+Rick Rose Trusting the jaws. I bought the chuck as NOS (made in USA) shortly after I got the lathe. Jaws are nice and square.
Great Video I will follow this one for sure. Not sure what model it was I saw at the end though. Thanks for the video
Some guy off the street :-)
lol
Mi piace il tuo lavoro, così come le maglie di Keith.
Awesome.
brilliant. found your channel through oxtools. thanks for the vids P.S. I'm wearing my whats in your box tee-shirt as well ;)

+angryyank68
I believe you need to post in the introduction thread before your account is fully activated.
Thanks Greg. It worked
I think for the cut to length you could have reversed the part for a better hold?
+DSCKy You could do it like that also. I was just afraid I'd over tighten the vice and make a flat spot in the aluminum and i was afraid that if the blade grabbed for some reason it would turn the stock.
Hi , if I share my email , would it be possible for someone to send me the drawing of this oil pump ? I'm from Brazil
Nice....

where I can get what plans? the website can not be downloaded more . thanks

do you have a vid on the band saw mod for that vice 4:20 ?
Yes it's in the bandsaw mod play list. All it is is a 1/8" x 4" plate bolted to the original vice jaws with a jack screw on one side so you can cut small length material.
***** ok thanks ill have a look

Great video Greg but please I beg of you please no more runway modeling please!!!!LOL
But I was going to go professional!
