I use to be a machinist when lot younger and what gets me is the tiny equipment this machinist uses. Always tiny,
tiny cute tapping, tiny indexing heads, tiny chips, tiny cuts !!! It is AMAZING to watch i must admit..
No endmills were harmed in the making of this video
I mean in the world of machining small parts have been around, especially in aviation, gotta put the part number on a little 10-32 screw head somehow.
@@sgtjonmcc I'd assume that for mass produced articles, the part numbers get stamped and serial numbers get lasered on.
I worked in a place that produces small lot parts so we milled it, but that's only economical if the parts cost a lot anyway. :)
I'm really liking the micro sized CNC machines
And im surprised as a watchmaker that he uses such big machinery and screws xD
Forthose times when you need to corral some very tiny animals.
What is this? a fence ants?
Pixies.
Miniature giraffes..
@@artmario ants could probably escape.
@@FlashDrive356 u just need to keep the queen
This is really impressive. I also never had thought about how chain link fences were made until today. Broadened my horizons.
I all though they where some sort of a cross between Plate/Brading @ stitching, and then it was stretched out to the square shapes :-)
@@dh2032 the way I saw it made was completely different then this and other videos, I’ll try and find it
you should watch a video on how actual chainlink is made as its totally different than this. its a crazy machine and it does it all on one shot.
@@curtism7203 like how the video I posted above? The video I posted wasn’t exactly the fence but that’s all I could find to get my point across
this is not how they are made, your horizons have been narrowed.
model makers would get a kick out of this...I'd imagine
Yep we do
Yep we do
Yep we do
@@stitches_8887 You should say it a fourth time, message unclear
Yep we do
I've got 6hrs before work tomorrow, yet here I am. Why are the best videos found right before bed?
Right, it baffles me 😆 🤣 😂 😹
And there’s always one more
same situation and i ask the same
I thought I was the only one staying up with eyes burning watching till the end.
It’s actually a mind trick, when you have to work or somethin similar every video seems interesting. I realized this when later i came back to my watch later playlist and the videos didnt nearly seem to be as interesting as when i have work to do.
This is actually dopamine at work
If you put a holder for the finished net part, you could thread in the new link while producing.
That’s how the big industrial machines do it.
My first thought.. seems like a simple fix compared to all eh complex machining he had already accomplished 🥴
I was thing a gear on the crank to a rolling drum that pulled the fence along.
As usual another small masterpiece: you could produce this net for modeling use and dioramas in general
Exactly my thoughts. That would be really great for creating in scale wire fences and such things
What in heck could you ever use this fo.....oh.
@@ranger_a6953 he said modeling. So basically for modeling doll houses, toys, rc world, and whatever humans would like to use it for.
@@whatswiththissassylostchilld yeah, I know. I was trying to be a bit humorous. Sometimes it doesn't translate well.
@@ranger_a6953 ohhhhh my bad lol
Its so satisfying when everything comes together at the end
Hannibal Smith thought so, too.
Oh nice! You could make beautiful loudspeaker covers with this.
Or even a really cool looking vehicle intake grill!
Been a machinist for a little under 15 years now, and still love watching the different processes people come up with to make things. Never gets old in trade were there truly is no skill cap. Need more MACHINISTS! Great video 😍
As an engineer (who is not a machinist, but who has great respect for them), I wonder if I can 3D print a similar design durable enough to produce limited production to suppliment my hobbying desires (war-gaming/modeling for myself and maybe one for my father's model RR needs). I know I can model the parts in CAD, I just don't know if a PLA plastic spiral fluted tube will hold up to the abuse, but I'm going to find out.
Thanks to RUclips else we'd never get to see talented people like this and how they go about their work and how they create masterpieces like this one. Stunning yet again. Respect 🙏🏽
I actually work in this industry. Nice job great little design. As the chain link comes off the machine try spiral it into the previous one. That is how full size machines do it. Great job !
Most DIY labeled videos are hacks and hoakey. This is beyond. So cool!
Very cool! I'd love some of this fence for my 1:10 scale RC Rock Crawling course! Amazing work! Thank you for sharing!!!
Same thought towards the end. I was like ok....ok I need one ..like now. Scale crawl course or scale garage fencing, Hellyeah!
Just curious, why 1/10 scale? Are you working in metric?
I've worked in 1/6, 1/8, and 1/12, but the 1.2 inch foot in imperial measurements is awkward compared to the 2 inch, 1.5 inch, and 1 inch feet of the other scales.
Otoh in metric 1:10 would be a breeze.
I was hooked from start to finish- absolutely amazing mate, I’m not a machinist or an engineer, but after this video I’m considering a career change
The mesh is gorgeous but threading them together would drive me crazy. Wonderful work
Didn't think I needed a tiny chain link fence until now, and to go with it I need a mini cityscape
I can see the final copper chain link as a great looking bug zapper. Very nicely done!
Just one word for this man, AWESOME
Finally I can keep my herd of shrews within a certain area. You are a lifesaver!
How do you herd shrews, I know with cows they use dogs but I imagine shrews would scatter alot more and be harder to control
@@helpabrothawithasubisaiah5316 no problem anymore with this tiny fence.
@@1337fraggzb00N well you still got to herd them between grazing areas and the keeping pens even with a fence
@@helpabrothawithasubisaiah5316 I need bigger fence 😱
I'm curious, would you ever consider building more of these if someone was interested in buying one?
I know I am😄
Sure but these take alot of time, 1 person can only do much
Omg
That copper wire would make a beautiful bracelet
Thumbs up
would need to do something about the edges, maybe solder or braise them so they don't scratch you!
maybe try to link with 1 continuous wire you could also make filters or strainers to use as you would a colander.
@@nullvoid564 or just file them a lil with a nail file and curl them in?
RIP little parting tool.
All the precision put into the crafting of this is so satisfying!
Wish I could buy one of these would really come in handy with some of the cityscape models I make
The shame of it. Such is the nature of the world we find ourselves in. The man who owns this channel is living a post scarcity life. He has the machines to make anything he wants, or if he can't, can use his machines to build a new machine that can. The barrier for entry is high, and the money-sink deep. Short-term sacrifices must be made for you and I to enjoy the fruits of the industrial revolution started some 200ish~ years ago. I'm going to make sacrifices to make it to the promise land. I hope to see you there too.
@@patrioticwhitemail9119 dude what?
@@Arterexius Reeeeeeeeeeee!
Is that better? Is that simple enough?
I was making commentary on how much our world sucks, and how hard it is to get ourselves into a position where we can just do things whenever we want like this guy can. Socialism proclaims that prosperity can only achieved by stealing while capitalism can provide by sacrificing.
@@patrioticwhitemail9119 If you’re blanket stating that socialism is stealing then do you think taxes are inherently wrong no matter what economic system we’re under
@@patrioticwhitemail9119 good
1:43 That's one hard spring :D
As I guy that worked at a chain link factory, I enjoyed your video very much! Congratulations!
Beautiful work, the chain link comes out so neat and uniformly! Love it
A work of art created by an artist.
The inside of your head must be an amazing place to be. I love coming up with my own solutions to problems but compared to you I still have a LOT to learn!! Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Seriously this is a Product the Model makers would buy in an instant!! You need to start selling this ASAP!! Amazing gadget
Probably the greatest background music I've ever heard for a RUclips maker vid.
Suler chill
I was thinking the same . anyone know the titles ? Thanks for a brilliant video
DIY. Ah, yes, let me get that lathe in my garage.
Seriously now, very neat video.
And the cnc mill lol
Wow! That makes fencing for Dioramas so much simpler! I would love to see what you would use for brackets and end posts?
Precise to perfection.
I have no idea why I am watching this without blinking ! Its amazing to watch the skill.
The end product could also be used for a faraday shield.
Peace.
Or as a thermal dissipation, like heated seats, clothes, or handlebar grips
I was thinking model makers might like something like this, for scale fences. Might be able to sell a mass produced version of this to folks who like model trains and the like, if you made it to the correct scale.
Thats what I was thinking immediately when I seen it... I think if I made one I would want finer mesh though to block smaller fields
No more tin foil hat for me boys! Tonight, I'm riding in style!
Gonna make one of these and show it off to the CIA agents spying on me from the hidden camera they installed in my toaster that night they slipped something in my drink at the bar which caused me to wake up in that ally way. Hell, this hat will be so cool it might even break the brain washing they put on my wife that made her leave me that night. With threads like these the shinny glittering will slowly break through her neural programming and make her finally see I was right all along.
Thanks WM Lavsha...
If that is your real name!
I know you're secretly an giant and I can tell because of how big your hands are compared to all the tools so what else are you hiding?
Make it with food-grade stainless wire and you've got yourself a custom kitchen strainer. Would also be good for protecting inlets/outlets from clogging with debris.
This video deserves a subscribe
The music make it more relaxing while watching the video 💯
Third try to leave a comment...
Very cool! I made a simple tool about 10 years ago after finding plans for a device used in developing countries for making chain link fence. I cut a slot in brass tubing using a jeweler's saw and then used a pin vise to turn the bar in the tubing. My fence is 1/12 scale. I tried a smaller scale, but the fine wire kept breaking in the tubing. The device needed to be more precise, but I didn't have the tools to make it better. Worked pretty good though.
it cannot be done any better!! you are def a genious!! all perfect, from the music till the idea till the details till the filming. all really really perfect!! biig cheers
Amazing tool production.
Next modification, link assembly automation adapter.
Almost all the modern things, be it the spoons, knives, toaster to your car, a machinist touched it be it the tooling or just the product. This is a challenge to figure out and probably just fun for someone with the equipment and skill. Nicely done looks great, hats off, and cheers to that!
Until now I never knew I needed a miniature chain link fence maker
This would be amazing for wire wrap jewelry.
I am so glad I found your channel. You do amazing quality work and your videos have great production. This is one of my favourite channels. Thank you.
that's actually very nice for a custom speaker build mesh or a diy vintage fan build mesh, or many other things. great skills sir.
Похоже что автор искренне и нежно любит свою работу. Аплодирую стоя!
This was amazingly satisfying. Subbed :)
DIY all you need is an entire machine shop with specialized tools and equipment!
You could always get a membership at a local maker space, or you could pick up Dave Gingery's book series "Build Your Own Metal Working Shop from Scrap". The whole set costs about $60. I'm still calculating the cost of getting it started.
I agree, $50,000 worth of stuff to build essentially useless, but adorable, crap.
Work for a fence company. I approve!
Looks a heck of a lot easier to install!!
Now I just gotta figure out how to turn that into a business card...
i fully appreciate the smol machinist
awesome!! now, you could make some things more, like adding a cutter and some kind of mechanism to auto-thread while youre looping the next part
How long did it take you to come up with a concept to build this. One of the coolest things I have ever seen made
Nothing more them a chain link fence.
@@hswing11 yea it is. But I don’t see you making things and posting about it. I liked it and that’s all that matters to me.
@@hswing11
Its not the chain link fence, its the ingenuity involved to make this tiny well fabricated machine. We would be glad to see your video of your take on this or something else unique you might have. When should we expect it?
@@hswing11 lol they're just cutting you down hard. Just a simple man trying to leave a simple comment and he gets grilled for it.
But I mean.. COME ON HOWARD wtf man 😆
@@hswing11 Has nothing to do with the fence...lol
Hello,
Superb achievement, well done for this very nice work. Congratulations See you soon and thank you
You have impressed me with the simplicity of such a tool. Although it is critical in the build of the machine it also reflects the accuracy with which you made it. Doing so by producing such a uniform coil that is surprising . Very nice bit of work.
I'd love some plans for this!
oh damn im the first comment...GG keep up the work and thanks for just plain inspiration!!
I usually hate music in build videos, but the tracks you chose were very mellow and did not interrupt my experience.
It's odd how relaxing it is to watch machining parts!
*Turn on subtitles* Okay... [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] realize after 5 minutes it’s set to auto generate
I press W to see what captions look like while watching the video.
This beat go hard
Never occurred to me that one possible use for a laser cutter is to cut exacto blades galore, ... until now.
super cool! fun video, i was entranced.
Amazing how u used the subtitle option.......ASMR and explanatory at the same time.
I had captions on, I never saw any words
@@Shikamaru- me either. Then I checked and the CC button turned on the google captions, not the captions he provided
Could you at the end put how long you worked on it
Found your channel tonight....WOW, WOW, WOW!!! However, the first video I watched was your Unique Lighter. I was blown away which brought me to more of your video's. However, I now feel compelled to correct my previous comment. I stated it was like watching Michelangelo......I now see I was somewhat in error......It's more like watching Leonardo Da Vinci....or even perhaps a combination of the two. (Smile) None-the-less.....I probably won't get any sleep tonight...Love watching talented engineers. Many Thanks!!!
Great skills! Finally someone has good and well matching music on a video!
I love the work and editing of all your videos. Especially the song choices. What genre of music would one call the music in this video?
Trance I think. I use to listen to similar stuff back in the day and that’s what it was call back then. It could be considered “light trance” at this point since the “EDM” genre has expanded vastly since 2008 that there was a need for separate trance into various categories. I’ll edit my comment if I’m incorrect. ✌️
you should make one of these machines for luke towan
Haha, I was thinking that.
Me too man. He would have a blast with this. 👍
Incredible work, not only did I learn the general process for linking chains but it was so cool to see those awesome tools create an excellent machine! Well done.
Excellent workmanship.
What kind of laser did you use to cut that exacto knife blade?? I'm trying to find something like that
I'm also curious about that
You gonna show us how to make the diy cnc lathe and the diy cnc mill? Also the diy 6-15 grand that they cost?
Maybe look up what DIY means? There are LOTS of makers who have equipment like this and as you are not buying an off the shelf Product it is DIY.
DIY isn’t limited to some useless dudes with PET bottles and a hot glue gun making crappy coat hangers.
Making DIY money is still considered illegal by most governments around the world so no 6-15 grand for you.
Very beautiful little machine! This guy is a professional in instrument making. I wouldn't title it as DIY, like 99% of the people won't be able to get through this project.
A very nice job on a very interesting subject, thank you for sharing.
“DIY” Okay so for the first step get your CNC Metal lathe
Well he's not lying, he did do it himself
Don't forget laser cutter
“DIY” Okay so for the first step get your CNC Metal lathe
Proceeds to then RUclips "DIY" CNC Metal Lathe...
Just DIY the metal lathe lmao
I had to click to the end because I said.... well I don't have that one... skip
Hey youtube algorithm I was interested in chainlink the cryptoasset, not literal chain link fencing. Good try tho :)
Amazing! Just loved the process and precision!
U just never know when u'll need a chain link fence made. Impressive!! U having the time to create it, n me, the time to watch it. Bloody awesome😉🤙✌
I’d love to buy this for modelling, is there anywhere I could buy this from?
if you don't have all the nice equipment, what you can do is do it the non automated way. go to starbucks and with out buying anything take one of wooden coffee stir sticks, go buy 300 plastic straws from the dollar store for $1 wrap super glue one straw around the stir stick be sure to leave a gap, for the wire to go, throw the rest of the 299 plastic straws in the ocean. pain painstakingly wrap the wire around the stick in the gap where the straw is not. if the wood is too week for your wire you might have to buy a metal nail file from the dollar for $1 if the metal nail file is not the correct shape you may have to grind it ageist a rock, till it is square, the wire is by far the most expensive part if you can get your self to a junk yard you might be able to find a broken motor, that will have lots of wire, I think the dollar store sells wire for a $1 but that's a consumable not equipment and part of cost of goods, so that might brake the budget it all depends on how much your selling your models for, I will assume your a government building contractor and your making a architecture model for a new 100 million dollar prison, and you want some realistic chain link fencing to for the model, don't worry I am sure your model will be accepted if your bribe is big enough. but don't go over spending on model creation that's less money you have for a bribe, and that's what get's the contract. the new normal, people like me will do well but they would rather be poor in liberty, where at least we know we are free, because the devil does not share power.
Let me translate what Amipot said:
No
I'm thinking I'll try my hand making at a 3D printed version. I'm hoping I can get close to scale strips of hardened steel form McMaster-Carr in place of the laser-cut knife blade, and print much of the rest in PLA plastic. It' won't be as elegant or as durable as this devise, but using smaller (more scale appropriate) gaged wire, it just might work well enough for my hobby needs. Besides once I've modeled the fluted spiral tube and have a stl file, I can always print more with negligible cost and effort; even if it only lasts for a couple hundred produced links, as oppose to the several thousands of links a milled tube should be capable of producing. I'll follow up with an additional comment If I am successful.
Threading the "fence" together would drive me insane LOL. ADHD triggered haha
you are an amazing machinist
The machining, edit quality, volume, music, absolute perfection! Thank you very much for sharing your work. Subscribed without hesitation!
What have you decided to combine today? ;)
Didn't you already upload this?
Thought I was going crazy haha. Looking through the comments to see what the difference was.
Sick! I can appreciate the novelty of this.
That mechanism is awesome!
Is it DIY? Who got tools to do in house.
I do and lots of people actually do. And yes its DIY because well he did it himself and didn’t buy a premade item...
great detailed work. Thank you
Show Off.
I love it. Good cinematography, good music etc. Well done. *)
.. you're an Artist ..the laser is Amazing...👍
just incredible to be able to visualize such a machine to make the fence! and making it on such a small scale is amazing
Your presentation makes those flashy 'how it's made' guys look like imps. 😁👍
Absolutely wonderful. You are an artist!
Beautiful work. I love the artistry and the attention to detail
so sweet! you can hold the ready pieces next to those wich comes next and the new just go in to the growing net by it self(do not need to do this later on). we use to do this with my grandfather making real fens for the garden!
pretty slick!
Awsome, craftsmanship and good music, something to watch in bed. Subscribed.
Awesome job. This would be great for the custom speakers I am building. Custom speaker grills, hell yea.
