I’d love to see a tutorial for the control side of things! I’m in the middle of designing a small table for my garage and could use any help I can get.
I wonder if that's a common challenge for diy CNC. I have a machine that's already built, but the controller is ancient and obscure and I just kind of lost motivation to get it running properly. Hardware is easy for me, but fusing that with electronics and software is when my brain clocks out to look for other shiny objects to play with.
@@nefariousyawn check out a gecko540 with a smooth stepper..i run 3 cncs with this setup...controller was like a grand total...that inc;uded 48volt psus and 12 and 5 volt psu...wiring etc..
It is crazy to me that you only have so many subscriptions. Your projects are amazing and complex, and your videos are so fun to watch. Hopefully more people will get to know you soon. Greetings from Poland.
Right? And also he is CUTEEEE 💗
One mention of him by AvE and he'll have a million subscribers.
said it before but i just want to drive it home.... I watch a ton of different DIY channels on YT, this right here "Cranktown City" is by far the most fun and engaging to watch. I love your humor and the "we´ll see" attitude you bring. I understand the ammount of problemsolving and grind that goes into the build that just dont get on film, i am amazed at the speed of wich you blast through these projects. Be safe and keep the spirit up brother
I'm building a small desktop CNC machine right now. That's how I found this video. I had to subscribe just because your channel on fabrication made me laugh more than any other. I think you are the master of fabrication zen. At least on video you are. Got to love when somebody takes so many problems in stride and just forges ahead. Thanks for the entertainment. Good stuff.
A CNC tutorial would be nice, but these Build Log style videos are also an absolute treat.
What a great ending! Bring on the rest 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can design my own CNC but a lynx video would be great.
You explain things weirdly well
Very big YES for ghetto tutorial on electronics and setup on linux cnc
Yep and yep.
Looks to be an interesting build, and definitely along the lines I've been thinking for a dual role (steel and dead tree carcass) small footprint machine for myself. I just hadn't got past the dream it up fully stage quite yet. Seeing your design gives me hope, and the answer is as above for both questions.
Stop everything! Cranktown City uploaded a video! We gotta watch it now!
I'm a garage fabrication guy too, due to my "no room" problem my driveway becomes part of my shop....I subscribed
omg I lost it when you were saying goodbye to the old machine
Maybe you need a new portable laser cutter?
The big part is all the drive parts on these tables make peoples head spine .just keep going your great I really liked your video it showed what home shops can really do. 👍👍👍👍
YES TO BOTH! Please! That'd be awesome. :D
Just wanted to say that I'd love to see a little more detail about the programming and electronics side of your projects.. I wouldn't say go full nerd cause there is plenty of that out there.. I like the fact that you let your mistakes show and I'm glad you made the choice to "lower the bar" I let perfection stand in the way of starting a lot of my own projects and watching you jump first encourages me to loosen up and do a thing regardless of it being right the first time! Keep at it!
Well you got part way. Never seen a leany one before. Interesting for sure!
Yes please. Do some tutorials. Electronics and the plasma cutter head assembly. Just go a bit deeper in the explanation. Keep up the good work.
I just don't understand how you haven't reached 100k subscribers yet. Awesome content. Thanks for making great stuff.
My bet it's just that youtube likes great volume of videos.
Keen to learn a bit of foundational knowledge about LinuxCNC. Cant think of anyone more entertaining to learn it from.
You are criminally undersubscribed, this video is amazing.
Great video. Nice to see that the best laid plans may still have a small flaw. It teaches people that even if you think it's perfect, some minor thing can make a mess of the plans. Oh wait... you said you weren't a role model... I think you're a perfectly good role model! I suspect your solution to the problem will be ingenious!
awesome video, standing the table upright is a win
Nice one!
A bit late but. Put some caster on a pallet. Iv moved all sort of stuff on the one i had. Also made a 2x4 frame tall enough to almost be level with my pickup. Made it east for me to drag an engine from the truck onto it and roll it onto my shed.
What you are doing is amazing, everyone should strive to be this resourceful and smart.
"Don't worry about the mess, it helps me concentrate"... Same here
Cranktown City is hands down the best DIY channel on youtube, prove me wrong (you can't)
this guy is messy... but he knows what he's doing
Your TIG welding skill is definitely getting better.😊
I see how much work it is to make a CNC Plasma Cutter, and for sure, if I ever need one, I'll just buy one. I don't like suffering
Old school diy style rules; great stuff
A tutorial and plans WITH the mistakes! Awesome video.
My Grandpa used to build a lot of things without making any drawings. He also had gnarly hands. Anyhow planning everything out ahead of time works theoretically, and then when you do it... well these things happen. It happened plenty of times out on the construction site. I am sure you will find a solution, you are a smart guy.
Please don’t stop what you’re doing, you’ll get the recognition you deserve some day.
I’m glad you upload videos more! I look forward to all of them!!!
Dude! That's such a clever way of going about this. Will definitely keep this in mind.
Heck yeah id love to get a hold of plans for this! This could also work with wood for a wood cutter! A series on how to set up the electronics would be very helpful indeed!
Either way, love your videos! Im drooling over this new cutter your putting together!
Pretty sure she'll cut wood. Just have the extinguisher handy ;)
Ofc we want more of you. Tutorial or rant
Yes please to the plasma Linux CNC tutorial and the electronics. Also would be interested in the plans.
awww happy middle indeed cant wait for the next vid! YES I WANT THE PLANS! And I'd gladly send some dingers your way for them too brother
I wish your channel had millions of subs, your videos are the only ones I dont find boring on that platform. Youre my top1 😂
Fully interessted by tutorial by you about electronics for this kind of project
Brilliant!
Aluminium though… not elumnum!
You deserve waaaaay more subscribers!
Looking forward to your next video on this plasma table and seeing how it turns out. I am building a cnc 4x4 plasma table. Was going to make it over size and make a support so I can put a full 4x8 sheet on it so it hangs off the end and is supported but actual cutting will be 4x4. Going to be rollers on the edge to I can move the sheet in as needed. That is the plan anyway lol.
Got everything ordered, Everlast PowerPlasma 82i, got here yesterday and I made a few test cuts. Using 1700mm/66 inch linear rails, arriving today. Figure that should give me a true cutting area of 4x4 plus, but we will see.
I will have to see how long the included ball screws and rail trucks/bearings actually are and see what my true cutting zone will be. I was going to use 1500mm but up sized at the last minute. if it is way to big I can always cut down the rails and ball screws.
At long last someone has built a vertical plasma cutter that will take up a back wall and not half the shed ,cant wait to see how it works . I ve looked at nearly ever cnc build on RUclips and yes how much for the plans .
lol the blanket scene was perfect.
Cranktown, Cranktown City
Its a good job!
let it be often ♫♫♫
Yes to both those things. Love the vids brotha, and a tutorial vid would be awesome ! Keep up the awesome content 💪
Yes on the linux cnc, thinking of doing an upgrade myself...
Hilarious montage combo! +1 power level unlocked
Nice work!! Yes, I would love to get your plans and Yes, I would like to see a tutorial on the wiring & setup!
Plans! Tutorials! Yes!
As always, very fun to watch. The goodbye scene was priceless!
It's cool, I support the channel and activities.
Bailing wire is an underrated building material.
You are both knowledgeable and funny! I've liked and subscribed and I'm starting your next video on this build. I'm a licensed Machinist with an abundance of CNC experience. Notice how I haven't been condecending? LOL Any ways, you are very entertainging. I hope you make more build videos!
Definitively more interesting than Matthias Wandelvogel's furniture videos.
You can even use plywood for some parts! It's much easier to work with
I see you got some fireball tools equipment there!
That dude is a marketing genius
Duuuuuuuuuuude Yes to both. You really hide your genius really well but you don't fool me hahahaha. Great work sir and funny as all get out.
I would definitely like the plans even though I won’t be building one for years.
CNC video yes please!
Would love to see your CNC tutorials!
yes on the Linux CNC. how do you plan on dealing with the smoke? I saw some people make a down draft table using one of those 6inch in line duct fans but their table was like a third of the size of this. love the idea of the plasma table being on its side. really cuts down on the space it takes and probably make placing a heavy sheet on it easier. might be problamatic with parts falling behind the sheet as its cutting. might need to design the parts to leave tabs so they need to be tapped out once the job is finished.
The desktop laser cutter I know uses a water table to deal with the metal debris dropped during the cutting process.
This is the best episode of Dragonball Z I've ever seen
100% on a linuxcnc tutorial! Would watch several times
I would love the Linuxcnc tutorial. With that said, I am sure there are a bunch of people who would buy the plans. The nice thing about plans is that someone else did the thinking and mucking about.
Hey mate I think a quick video for you would be to make a system like with your Drills to remind you to turn your gas off
I have watched several of your videos and have come to the conclusion that you sir are,
A: a genius
B: nuttier than a squirrel turd
C: Both.
Whatever the case may be, I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing. Keep it up.
Yes to plans. Love the floor space saving design. Thanks for sharing
Love it bro! Looking forward to the next installment!
Great job man. Fellow Arizonian here… keep up the good work. I’d watch you do a tutorial. I’d probably buy the plans/fusion files if they were parametric so I could size the plasma cutter to a size that fits my needs!
If you are in need, I will be happy to provide you with a laser cutting machine that suits your needs
That’s a great video, ! Hope to see more and finish this ! I agree don’t understand why not many more subscribers.
Fantastic and entertaining.
this needs a ton of thumbs up
Yes, I would love to see your Linux CNC tutorial! Thanks again for making these entertaining videos Viking. Appreciate it! (I said Viking 'cause you sorta look like a Viking.)
Hilarious commentary 😂 fantastic video. Looking forward to the complete build. And yes, one day I'd like to make my own CNC plasma. Would love to buy your plans..
Love it, looking forward to seeing the second part!
It is an absolute joy to watch your videos. I'm only 3 minutes in...just wanted to share. That is all :)
oh god it got better. snuggling with Ole Sparkie..hahah
Just stumbled onto your channel. Yes, I would buy reasonably priced plans, and yes I would love to see a tutorial on the electronics side as well.
'Not the copper bro!' Lol
Another great video man 👍
Great job is always brother🙏 .Good work 👏. Keep em coming. Always worth a watch
I would love to see plans. Also, a torch height controller. Please
your neighbors must be great.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for making these videos!
Yes and yes! Subscribed! Let’s see those plans!
you are the best friend your mean of explain its very enjoy and interesting
FluidNC is worth checking out for the controller, it runs on ESP32 so you get a wireless interface. Its quite nice & easy to setup.
Interesting. Do you use it? How does it compare to arduino grbl?
@@TheRainHarvester A bit late, but yes i do use it. Its basically grbl made for ESP32, and its in continious developement. Its great.
Found your channel last week. My wife largely ignores mechanical repair RUclips videos but she laughs at yours. (It’s a good thing, trust me). So I subscribed and have been watching your older videos. The toast one was amazing. Keep up the good work and don’t make your girlfriend too mad!
Hell yeah! make the tutorials! I wish I had more videos available on how the electronics and software work
just leaving a comment for the algorithm
Great video, don't get how it doesn't have at least 300k views
Montage is superb
I'm working on a mpcnc plasma. It's about the size of your first one. I'm using it as a learning experience until I can fit a lager one.
This reminds me why I now add all the nuts, bolts and screws to a 3D model on parts that move.
You are doing a grate job as you always do.
I love the way you have put it on its side, but I think you may need a Screw instead of the 10mm Timing Belt, when the power to the stepper motor is turned off, the trolley may drop to the floor.
Perhaps split the aluminium part in two so you can spread those pieces apart, leaving a gap for the rollers on third rail.
Great video! Love your content!
Yes definitely want a tutorial on the electronics, would buy that over the plans at quiet the premium!
I am very interested in plans for a table like this. I don't have a shed or garage, but i might get one in the new house. I love watching your videos. You, Sir, are my spirit animal.
Just amazing videos that everyone can relate to keep up the good work.
My favorite youtuber.
