Howie Did It - Machining the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive. Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- This is part two of how we made the flexi-shaft auxiliary drive system in episode 20 of Project Binky. In this part, we make the brackets to hold the alternator, a pulley, an adaptor and then put it all together. There was far too much to show in the normal episode run-time, so we thought we'd make an additional series of videos going into a bit more detail of how we did it. Hope you enjoy it.

The mechanical engineering put on display by the chaps is seriously putting every other RUclips automotive channel to shame.
The furthest most go is weld some holes, make very simple brackets and slap turbos on everything.
The HVAC system was on a whole other level already.
This entire contraption is so far beyond any of that.
Bravo good sirs, bravo.
Mcmtv2 with skid factory is a close second, still enough pissing about and light fab work. Binky is a whole other level
Yes ,Yes and yes,, i do agree with all that, i do think a lot of work for a mini.
Can't wait for a colour and for it run,not that i'm trying to rush you Guys,But i would like to see it run before i die,nearly 60,,,
Now all we gotta do is keep Nick outer the scrub,,keep it one piece,,
100% in agreement with you! These blokes are putting aerospace quality components together in such a way that it looks easy!
Fully agree, I stumbled upon binky with the HVAC episode being the first one I ever watched, got hooked from that single episode and watched every episode from the beginning. Absolutely magic.
Binky gives me back faith in humanity! There are still people that care enough to go the extra (dozen) miles. And it teaches a thing or three in the process.
And if you want similar levels of caring, but with atronaumical budget, go have a look at retropower's Escort that they are building for Gordon Murray.
Nick and Richard...however long this build takes, 205,000 and growing subscribers
have watched a journey over the last few years that has been an absolute pleasure
to be part of.

The 'Howie Did It' videos are a brilliant idea, chaps. It's enormously satisfying to see all this extra Binky content, so thanks very much for inviting us backstage, as it were.
Now, award yourselves The Order of The Hobnob and put that ruddy kettle on. I'm proper parched!
Wife (who just entered the room): “What in the world are you watching?”
Me: “Nick and Richard machining pulleys and brackets for Binky, for their Mini project car”
Wife: “Oh my God ... I’d rather watch paint dry!”
Me: “That will be a future episode, no doubt”. “I’ll let you know when it’s released.”
Wife: Leaves room shaking her head slowly ... once more wondering privately about my sanity.
I've been wondering how many episodes that will fill. :-D
That is exactly what my missus said :-)
Sometimes it pays to be single. I have a pair of car seats sitting in my lounge room waiting for the cash so they can be recovered. I guess I could move them to the spare room, other than that, I don't have room in the garage. lol
Mark Harrod I almost laughed at the "I'd rather watch paint dry" bit, then I remembered I walked in on my mate's wife the other day watching a vid of some chick folding clothes :/
Freaking proper dad joke there. Kudos
Four uploads in a month... Christmas came early.
when you consider they hadn't uploaded stuff in quite a while before that (which they explained), I think they're trying their best to make up for it... especially now when we get to the meaty end of things. the engine work isn't too far off =)
not just christmas..
When I started watching MCM I suddenly reaslised there was a lot of basic-to-medium skill car stuff that I could learn to do, because they showed their methods quite carefully. That was years ago,. Now I'm a pretty good DIY mechanic because I took inspiration from the realisation that it was there to be learned as a skill. I'm in awe of you guys because I never had that insight into how things you do could be achieved, so what you do looks like magic.
Watching your HOWIE episodes has made me realise that what you do is also a skill that can be learned...
I'd just like to point out that you've released nearly 90 minutes, a movies length, entirely about making a flexi-shaft auxiliary drive work. Thank you. This is amazing. You cannot get this level of production, detail, humor, and hardcore engineering dare I say anywhere else.
Well, I drilled out some washers to make the hole bigger so I'm pretty much in the same league.
I chopped the end off a bolt.
I was just thinking the same thing!!!!
I actually tapped a thread once without breaking the tap, so I‘m ahead of all of you Amateurs!
When the first "Howie did it" came out, I had more questions than answers, but now it all makes sense. Beautiful concept, design, and execution. It's one of the first elements of Binky that doesn't look very OEM, it looks very F1!
Paint it black and make it from stamped plate steel and you have oe
You've got to hand it to Nik Blackhurst: Given the space limitations under Binky's hood (and other places), he's come up with some beautifully made, elegant solutions to packaging and driving various parts of the car. If he doesn't win awards at car shows and demonstrations, once Binky is finished, there is no justice in the world.
I swear to god if some bodyfiller on 4 wheels with an LS in it takes a prize vs Binky I'm gonna be PISSED
@@ToreDL87 I agree, but there's no accounting for taste. Binky is a sterling example of taking what's left of a sow's ear and making a silk purse out of it. There's a great deal of structural fabrication and clever solutions to difficult problems in that car. But...some people like a candy-apple-metal-flake red lead sled with a rumbly V-8 and polished Roots blower that anybody can do, so that's what wins. Or shouldn't win, depending on who you are. But Binky is still a very clever but of kit.
@@johnlloyd2390 The Same is also true for music. Theres so much more to this project than many others, but it might just go over some peoples heads. For those who get this the reward and the appreciation is so much greater.
@@ToreDL87 Too many people value looks over ability.
Really makes you rethink what's actually possible when building a car
These two go into so much detail, plenty of close ups of certain details, action shots and a steady build up to a wonderful climax, where it all comes together. So much better than the other sites I normally visit.
Is it just me or do most of us get hypnotised watching this stuff? The engineering is just awesome & all done without taking yourselves too seriously - true modern day McGivers :-)
Bonkers, absolutely bonkers. There must be some sort of engineering ingenuity award we can nominate you for somewhere?
‘Subtle whispers’ 😏 Liking the AvE ‘clicks’ 👌🏻
"Focus you F**K"
I've got the same brand of torque wrench
I got a chuckle out of the Ave click...I really hope next time AvE is using a level he says 'make the noise..."
Richard Langford .....Mine makes ‘F’ and ‘C’ sounds 🤔
Logician so has people saying “click”. Been doing that for years because we didn’t have torque wrenches.
Can you imagine the shenanigans these two could get into if they had a sponsor to provide them some state-of-the-art equipment?
Guys, I don't think I could have been more impressed watching a heart operation, I was mesmerised and want to do what you do when I grow up
When I found project Binky and saw there was 20 something videos I assumed it would be finished, I watched them all eagerly anticipating the finished car driving in the last video, now I realize I'm going to be waiting desperately for you to finish it or die of old age whichever comes first. Please finish it soon as I am 50 and will die long before you young whipper snappers.
I need to see Binky run in all her glory.
"I fell."
"Yeah I know."
Got to love Little Britain! Top work lads.
Only Bad Obsession Motorsports could make a nearly two hour long, two part video series of two dudes putting on a belt extremely entertaining and leaving you wanting more. Excellent job guys.
I am completely blown away by the ingenuity displayed in the intricate designs you put together to overcome the obstacles in the way of your progress - simply brilliant and well done!
Not sure what the 58 people who disliked this video were thinking of - what did they expect?? What is there to dislike? Maybe the strength of the tea but that's a personal thing anyway. Nuts.
Looked for words..... gave up and settled for sitting here with my jaw dropped...
You lads truly never cease to amaze me with your ingenuity, your engineering and your machine fabrication skills.
As a rule, your Project Binky series is a hoot, and it's always a thrill to see all of the details involved with all of the custom fabrication, from the pattern making, to each finished component.
But your Howie Did It series takes it to another level, entirely, with the depth of detail shown.
Totally fascinating, and absolutely a pleasure to watch!
The way you machined that piece of cast metal to perfectly fit the alternator is just an excellent example of your quality work so far.
Is absolutely beautiful to see the detail that goes into the work while my personal opinion is that you do over-complicate some of your Solutions and some of your designs I can't help but stare in Wonder at how beautiful it all works in the end and it is just downright impressive. Keep up the good work boys I look forward to more binky
I have a feeling we're dealing with engineers here XD
There is no such thing like over engineering when You try to wrap a Mini around a Celica with no parts sticking out here and there and everywhere. (... other than the ridiculously fat wheels of course, and the mahussive stocking -wrappers- spreaders to partly cover those .... )
No wonder the Merlin won the war!
I believ e the rear window wiper also sticks out
@@paulashton5990 they could hardly conceal that in the body though....
Shit. I hope they don't see this... they're gonna try now.
I see no overly complicated solutions here but parts made to order and if they do a damn good job on detail by showing off their engineering skills with the tools at hand to the best of their ability then good on them. I see their aim for this car as not only weight saving but "durability". If aesthetics compliment their work it's only because of the endless cups of tea (well thought out planning) in aiding their ability to get it right the first time. "JOB DONE, WELL DONE".
Make the noise!
I enjoy the creativity. These are the kinds of things that can be done when we refuse “impossible” and “I can’t” as acceptable answers.
I'm tuned into this build as if its my duty, the level of craftsmanship and precision is incredible....well played and thank you for including us in your project
Another upload? You lads trying to show off?
must be the Tea...too much milk for the looks of it lol
@@BEYTEK True enough, look how many views in less than a day :-D
BTW, they're and their ;-)
@@shugthehornyhaggis The Bedfords ready for them to pick up I believe.
Don't really have a clue to how time consuming fabricating like this is? Sure if you do fabrication of body panels, brackets, mounts etc.. every day, it's less time consuming, but seeing its a project car done after life and they're normal job we can be thankful to the fact they upload the video at all. The real subscribers will stay, the one's who really apriciate and understand the sheer amount of work put into this. Even if every single one of you unsubdcribe, I'll stay right here waiting for the next video. 1 month, 1 year, 10 years, I'll be waiting 👴
This is why I love British engineering 😊
We come up with some very clever and ingenious ideas to how we get over things that most people would look at n think "fuck that!" I recon a nice strong cup of English tea is a big part of it.
I know this video is over a year old but I hope by now, you've invested in a proper mill and lathe. As I know it'll make life a lot easier and bigger machines are much more rigid.
But I do take my hat off to yous, making parts on machines that aren't really designed for it. Lucky it's mostly ally 🙂
I’ve come across this series only recently. I am totally in awe of the skill, ingenuity and attention to detail shown at each and every stage of the project. Gentlemen, I salute you, you are an inspiration..
As a machinist, that hasn't machined in some time, I found this inspiring. Thanks for that. Time to get back into it.
Hah! I remember having a "zero" error as a first year apprentice using a lathe, hex bar and an undercutting tool... Launched the tool out of the tool post at the florescent tubes above my mate on the lathe in front of me and showered him with glass, dust and an undercutting tool!!
Nice going guys, this is awesome!!!
I'm guessing that's why the code is set to make a scratch pass first. At least that way, they can quickly stop it if it all starts looking pear-shaped.
That's an engineering marvel; the cracked-cap alternator that is.
watching your mill cut diagonals is one of the most satisfying things ever.
Is crazy how fast 50min can fly bye when you’re focused on all the work they’re doing! Love this project!
thank you for making it... this is some amazing engineering.
...but in true You Tube style they are supposed to say things like" i'll just take another 1/2 thou. cut here " and " I will take a 15 millionth off here to gt it correct..."
thanks for the bonus footage, im looking forward to the plumbing episode!
Brackets, brackets and more brackets.
Some are cut, bent and welded and now some are cut out on a tiny CNC mill.
I am glad you decided to put together these two “Howie did it” vajayos to show us some very creative and complicated engineering so Binky will be very comfortable to drive in Southern California. 🌞
Yet another thing I really like about your videos, when the mill isn't big enough you don't just send it out to be machined, but you figure how to do it on your small machine and just do it!
We need a part three where you show us how you measure all your brackets and get all the holes to line up so perfectly together. I really have trouble with that. Anyways, keep up the good work!
Cad.
Somewhere Abom is screaming “you need a chip breaker!”
I've been a ASE certified mechanic for 30 years, worked on and built many cars in my day.... but, you two....... absolutely blow my doors off! I sure hope you DRIVE the shit out o this!
I just spent 48 minutes mostly watching a CNC-controlled mill do its thing: and was totally entertained. Makes me want to restart that Solidworks tutorial I was working through. Nice jobs, lads!
No, thank you for sharing.. I have trouble thinking a number of engineers would have trouble thinking all that I've seen up, very entertaining. Once again, thank you.
Outstanding craftsmanship. As a fellow Machine, Welding & Industrial Mechanics graduate, I enjoyed every second of it. Your pre planning is exceptional. You guys put in as much detailed work into the diagrams/plans as machining the parts. Whats the estimate man hours that went into completing this engineering feat? Either way, amazing job. Loved the coverage.
I’m not British, but I believe the proper term to describe your videos is “brilliant.”
First off let me say I hate to be wrong. But I was. I have on occasion referred to you guys as the wizards of bracketry. I WAS WRONG. You lads are the GODS of bracketry.
"ERRRRRRR ::click::" ROFL! Loved it! Also, thanks for uploading these two videos - it's nice to see what goes into these incredibly complicated bits.
Outstanding! Go to the top of the class. Oh, and the "grrr, click" made my day.
It should be called mad obsession, your work and attention to detail is out of this world, keep up the great work and content
This isn't just engineering this is art!
this is the best ASMR on youtubes
ASMR?
@@excossack from Urban Dictionary:
An acronym for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.”
The sole purpose of ASMR is to relax people. The ASMR community is constantly growing on RUclips. Ideally, ASMR videos are meant to give the viewer a relaxing tingle at the back of their head and/or spine. ASMR videos usually involve one or more of the following things:
• Gentle whispering
• Relaxing hand movements
• Smacking of the lips
• Nail tapping/scratching on hard surfaces such as tables
• Brushing sounds
• Etc.
OMG.. was just going to say the same thing😂🤣
@@excossack watch the video of theoddsoneout yt channel about asmr
One can only assume americans came up with this term. The rest of us just call it a good video.
Remarkable. Outstandingly Remarkable . . .
(An' I tell ya, there are people out there with vastly better mills than you have who couldn't do what you just did with your tin-pot hobby-jobby!)
I don’t know if it’s going out on a limb to say the majority of your fans are patient people so a detailed in-depth video is spot on
Wow. The engineering that went into this and the skills to whip the tiny Taig into pulling it off, amazing. I have a Taig manual lathe and hadn't thought much about it but clearly the little spindle is impressive. Excellent work!
That laugh at 41:48 hahaha. Spinning the shaft right in the housing. 😂
I hope you realize that you can’t slow down now. Keep the videos coming! Great job guys!
this has got to be the sickest and most fascinating job ive seen in weeks. this project is so awesome and i cant imagine how satisfying it must have been to design, make, and assemble these parts.
I love the machined spacers for the alternator. Especially the dark-iron one at 45:23. The mating surface of that one is amazing! What a wonderfully rough gripping surface. Stunning machining by the boys. That spacer surface fits the alternator housing so perfectly that the seam between the two disappears at 45:36. Well done.
What a load of Bollocks!!
No one eats just 4 hobnobs in one tea break.
Yeah.
4 = Forrest Gump.
You'd need an entire pack, with perfectly made tea, to equal Einstein/Tesla level intellect!
yeah, especially when there's two of them ... haha
ChrisHallett83 but whole packets somehow disappear in a blink of an eye...
Benjamin Harvey I was thinking the same.. especially the chocolate coated ones..
Why turn two of them upside-down?
WHAT IS THIS BREAKNECK SCHEDULE? I have a life that needs tending!
If they keep this up than maybe Binky will be finished by next Christmas?
@@LogiForce86 fat chance.
You're going to regret your complaints after BOM goes on winter holiday.
@@andytaylor1588 I know, as I won't be holding my breath for it. Although holding your breath till next years Christmas is hardly a good idea anyway, regardless the circumstances.
Dear God, that is just pure bracketrygasm. You guys are truly amazing. I can't get enough of this!
"We hope you enjoy these extra videos". Yes, I very much do enjoy them. It's wonderful and interesting to see the more detailed thought and work going into making something which you make look easy videos. Thanks Guys!
Everything looks brilliant! I worry about everything hanging on just 2 bolts on the rear bracket. Hopefully there's an additional bracket for support on the vacant hole of the opposite end. Keep up the great engineering!
I completely agree. I have had billet steel machined brackets fail and that's without the leverage seen here. It needs something off the top to stop fatigue killing it.
My god, that was beautiful. This is my form of meditation
I can't decide whether to be delighted to see more videos, or annoyed that the editing is delaying the rest of the build. Nice work, guys. Keep it up!
I take my hat off to you two for having the skill and patience to not only work out the best way to overcome the problems of such a tight space but to CNC mill and film the whole thing. Thank you.
46:03 I was waiting for that the whole episode :D Fantastic work as always.
I'm watching this over football, that says something.
@@TruthTortoise81 I'd rather watch this over a bunch of grown men in tights fighting over who gets to touch the other's ball
@ haha
Depends which country your in
American football Australian football
Or soccer
Soccer isnt even a sport
@@fowletm1992 Gaelic football is the only football
Footwhat?
Somehow I think that you two are in it for the journey more than the destination/end result. You clearly have the chops to build a quality car from scratch let alone using the mini as a base.. Cheers to you both.
Next level work gents! The amount of time and energy you guys put into the drawings, work and video are much appreciated.
Nic Blackhurst is now my new man crush. Watching him work is like going back in time and watching Oppenheimer split the atom for the first time. BRILLIANT!! Love these kinds of vids, pretty much love whatever you guys do, always look forward to getting the notification theres a new one. Keep it up fellas.
That would be Rutherford, not Oppenheimer, who split the atom first.
I meant the splitting of the atom on a grand scale John Adams, Cockroft and Walton were the first to SPLIT an atom at the Cavendish particle accelerator, they did so under Rutherford who was the head of Cavendish. But the first person to create the first open air large scale atom splitting explosion, was Oppenheimer and his team at Los Alamos in New Mexico. I do however agree that Rutherford is the father of the nuclear age, his research was invaluable to the development of the bomb.
Absolutely fascinating ! Did like the little Britain ‘yeah i know’ 😂😂
If a tthe end of the project the car doesn't run, I won't even be mad. This is absolutely glorious!
Yes. We did want to see. That's what drives us ancillary! Starting to get used to these more than once per season videos!
As many have said, very impressive on many levels. I've always been impressed with your ability to plan ahead and also your willingness to redo something when things have developed enough for you to have a better idea.
Question...was/is there any concerns over rigidity of your new setup given it's now the foundations of a rotating assembly? Is that what drove the chunky plate size?
Keep it up guys, we love it.
And I thought the original mini was fiddly and annoying to work on. I stand corrected.
Nik and Richard... you are to be commended. I quite honestly don't know how you did it! Your restraint blows my mind, but you managed to keep it clean and PG rated. These 2 episodes (quite obviously) should have been titled... "Howie Jackshafted!".
More pure genius. The thinking that goes into making the parts is second to none. Another really superb video guys!
My day just keeps getting better.
Is a “thinking grenade” what I think it is? If so I’m letting off some thinking grenades while I watch this.
When those two heavy ally works of art went together at 90 to each other a tiny bit of wee come out. Great work gents.
Simply (or not so simply) amazing salopian engineering. You 2 have got some serious tallents. Keep up the excellent work and vids mons.
With this amount of care and attention to detail.....how many years left before they actually drive it ???
Sany0 I’m 60 next year don’t think I’ll see the complete finish
I heard their hoping their grand kids will take on the project
It's only been 5 years since they started it. I'd give it another 4 or so.
@@fargogemini694 Don't say that! I'm 60 now!!!!
I just have this bad feeling that after all this attention to making it awesome and the years it is taking, that their first drive of it will result in a crash after like 5 minutes on the course and wreck the whole thing bad enough to scrap it.
Thanks guys, you really made my morning =)
You went Ultra Instinct. Mona Lisa of ancillary engineering right here!
Speechless. I can't even handle how talented that is.
Time is 23:40 in Turkey now i have to sleep, tomorrow is monday i cant be late to work. Its 40 minutes long. Shit!
"Yes, I know! I'm a horrible person!"
- I imagine Nick is saying this *a lot* to his power tools.
Really loved the episode with the machining sounds, funk was frankly getting a bit boring to be honest.
Funk is never boring. To each his own! :)
At least he will apologize to his machinery.
Can't believe I just spent 48 minutes watching this... and I wasn't bored at all. 🤔
Once again you two are the best content makers on you tube. Thanks for all that you do. Keep up the great work.
The sound of that lathe is so relaxing when it isn't screaming chips off
Looking at the file path for your G-Code.... Which of you goes by the name Linda at the weekends?
Obviously compiled in the wife's sewing room...
Silly you, the CNC's name is Linda. Nik loves her very much.
After 3 days straight catching up on the build to date (23 vids) so far....I think 🤔........the outtakes vids.....part 1/2 of the Flexi shaft machining ect.....I’m bloody impressed , I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same mentally again but damn I’m impressed ! , and yes I’m getting a cap and a mug.
Man. I can only imagine how much more efficient you guys would be with a multi axis CNC machine. I love your work. I'm planning to follow in your footsteps when I get my shop up and running.
You use the same model of torque wrench as I do.
My girlfriend after listening to Richard voice over this episode has told me he must have a great singing voice. Just an idea for more #content
When (if) Binky is done, it needs to go to a museum.
Everytime I watch a video from you guys I am left shaking my head in disbelief at the skills you possess. This particular video, I was shocked at myself for remembering that the code on the ribbed belt you are using is the one that fits K11 Micra alternator
