    I've been building a machine like this in my head since I was about 10 years old.
    There it has stayed for 40 years and I think it will remain !
    Great job, can't wait to see it go!

    Not sure which I'm liking more... the project, the way you work, watching how your mind works on "fabricating" a jig to make something work. I hope you don't burn yourself out. I've seen many young and older people with ingenious minds burn themselves out. I like the fact you're commenting more in your videos as well. This build is coming along quite nicely. Looking forward to seeing this all up and running. Cheers :)

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  4 года назад

      Some might argue with you on that but I think the same as you do. I did a lot more work than only these 21 minutes worth and that is what I want to share with everyone and especially with those who think about making their own tracks.

  • @Ratkill
    @Ratkill 4 года назад

    Love the design. Most DIY tankers go all-metal for the tracks and they are difficult to make work reliably. Also the wear rate makes all-metal kind of unfeasable. This is genious!

    • @DonnDIY

    I would say using some 1in (25.4mm) strap to make the "washers" and have it the length of one side (so its just one wide washer with the 2 whole in it) would work a treat, but my god drilling the holes would bout drive a man crazy lol. Nice work good sir.

    Отличная подготовка к каждому этапу сборки, все сделано очень классно, как на мелко-серийном производстве!!! Уважение от инженера! Смущает отсутствие натяжителя гусеницы, при проколе крайнего колеса гусеница обязательно слезет. Также отсутствие подвески как таковой, скажется на комфорте езды и жизненном цикле трансмиссии, в остальном снимаю шляпу перед вашим мастерством.

    @FatHulkRideEbike 4 года назад

    Yeah, that was amazing. Tracks look so uniform. I still don't fully understand how they will stay straight but guess that will be more apparent in a later video. Like many others said I also thought the jigs were very cool.

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  4 года назад +1

      You mean how will they not lean on the sides and drop off? The tracks will be held on with tension so the tracks are stretched on, thus they'll be straight.

So proud of you. You a bubble short of genius!

  • @southronjr1570
    @southronjr1570 4 года назад

    A tip for doing productions type work like cutting the guides and angle for the track pads. When cutting, if your saw is able to handle thicker material, cut the main piece into half or quarters and cut 4 at a time. It will make the job of cutting much more efficient than just doing one at a time.
