I like this. One tip for heat treating is leave your parts slightly over-size then afterwards, grind them in. This gives a bit of extra meat to avoid warping and cracking plus gets rid of the decarb that forms at the surface. Another tip, avoid 90 degree inside corners like the plague. Put a radius on it, even a tiny one! This will exponentially decrease the likelihood of a stress-riser induced crack because of a corner.
I'm taking machining in college right now and it's so awesome to see people making their own tools/inventing new things and it inspires me to do better! Great work 💪
Great tip with the cut in half pipe. I like how this community helps each other. For every hater their are 2 who want you to succeed. Great video as always!
Here i thought you was just a welder, then I come to find out your not only a machinist to, you also basically have a full shop. Kudos to you, and well done. I enjoyed this thoroughly.
That bandsaw half circle clamping action is legit. Thanks for sharing his channel too!
This is fire! Love the project and the editing on this video! Look forward to seeing more of your projects!
Thanks Tim! I take notes when I watch your videos I really appreciate the time you must put in, all the camera angles great music choices I just don't know how you can put so much content out. I have a hard time with one a month.
Dude, I just realized I wasn't subscribed to your channel. INJUSTICE CORRECTED!
I love over-engineered things which are made that way just because the person making them could do that.
Bravo!
Great vid, filled with great tips, I also like the way you post the tools and products you use in your videos. I for one find that very helpful. Looking forward to your welder review and drawing. Thanks for taking all the time!
I love your videos. Very talented in front and behind the camera. Hope you keep pumping them out
Thank you for putting so much time into making this such beautifully made video! I loved the filming, music and editing. Oh, and the project is very cool too!
Tom
Thanks Tom I appreciate that
Awesome video! I found it this morning and showed it to my welding & fabrication students. So glad guys like you are publishing fabrication videos like these. Thank you so much!
Thanks!.....I hope this old tony is a required watching too
Brilliant production, beautiful tool - a pleasure to watch - subscribed. Thanks for the effort you put into making this quality of production - much appreciated. Pete
Magnificent workmanship - I can see many many hours in your home made tooling - and many more in set ups, clean ups and trials. Well done.
Well, let me add you to my hated professionals list! LOL brother, you’re awesome!!! The whole 0.468” got me going, and the ball turner it’s such a simple but improved idea! Your kindness towards us, making sure we understand every step you take, and towards people, who also helped you, by mentioning their channels and crediting them for their kindness it’s commendable but, what really showed integrity and honesty was the fact you’re just a few videos up, already got an sponsor offering you a welding machine and your only request was to be able to give it to your subscribers, Wow! How many content creators would do that? You’re a greater person than most and humble enough to admit that you’re still learning! Wish you all the success!
Thank you for sharing your adventures up and quest for perfection!
I have learned so much just by watching your site! I only run a small shop but your site has helped me so much!
Just found your videos. Love the info you provide. Thank you very much.
I cannot describe how much I enjoy your content. Educational, excellent production quality, great cinematography, digging the music.... what else can I ask for?? Please keep them coming!
Thanks man!
There are way too many RUclipsrs that do not give credit to others that have suggested ways to improve various jobs it is good to see RUclipsrs that give credit where credit is due and you are one of them..
Another way to measure the slot is to use an adjustable parallel and then measure the OD of the parallel. Tom’s Techniques is an awesome channel. I wish he would post more. I continue to be blown away with the high quality content of your videos. Such a pleasure to watch you work. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks Joel I apperciate that man
Your editing and music selection is one of the best I've seen on youtube. Its a joy to watch your videos from start to finish.
Thanks Man!
Over engineering a simple problem is the best way to go about things!! I look forward to your next video with the review of the YesWelder. Currently using a gasless flux core mig welder, but looking for a decent cheap(ish) welder, so look forward to your review!
Your videos are a work of art! The wirechopper too of course. Also thanks for the many many tips and tricks you put into your videos! As for measuring slots: sliding in some adjustable parallels and measuring the part sticking out works well enough for me for this kind of stuff.
Thanks again and all the best
Thanks man......I use adjustable parallels too like I did in my ball turning video I just didn't have on small enough for this slot
This reminds me of working in my uncle's tool and die shop when I was a kid. Awesome work!!!!
it's always fun to see ideas coming to fruition, I think I've seen a few of your vids before but this hit my recommended IG
oh yeah, also thanks for the content, I do always love this type a thing
love your videos mate, keep them coming!
Nice video and great works. I have never seen such a fine, precise, functional boring tool. Great final product. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks!......its a German made wohlhaupter automatic boring head
Video editing so good I can’t hardly watch what you are actually watching. I’ll have to watch it over again and again. Thank you.
Great video as always, thanks for posting
That's awesome great job on this I'd love to be able to do this kind of work first time watching you it won't be my last for sure. James
This is the first video I have watch from you. I enjoy the build of this tool! I have subscribed to to you boss man!
Absolutely Fantastic! A privilege to view.
your welding table caught my eye but i think i found a new favorite youtube channel. so much for getting anything done today. haha
I have watched 2 of your vids so far, love the content and the music. You have a new sub!
Really didnt even know that was a setting, this is a great idea, beautiful video, you’re a kind soul. Cant wait to see your review
Nice work , great addition to your shop
Wow! Very nice. I love the thought and detail that you put into your design. I also like your Clausing lathe, I don't see very many Clausings. I have the grandfather to yours, a Model 100 Mk III. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Beautiful machining work. It was a joy to watch.
I like it... and that jig for the bandsaw vise was a bonus. subscribed
Amazing tool work, simply amazing tool work!
Very nice.
Forty years ago I did business with a Miscellaneous Iron shop that was a one man show. Noah was actually a sculpturer that built stairs and handrails to earn a living. I always thought his work was exceptional until I have been watching your craftsmanship which has left Noah in your dust.
your videos are perfect for tutorial to orher youtubers how to present your work , even for schools with diy classes. very enjoyable .
Thanks man I appreciate that
Just found your channel, and I love it! Subscribed with much love from Bavaria in Germany! ❤️
Just learned your channel. You have awesome videos! Very informative. Keep it up!
Way to go,I watched a lot of machining but this is an artfully well done of a video
I watch a ton of RUclips with lots of welding and machining content, and this video is one of the best! Great job and creative solution!
Thanks man I enjoy making them wish I had time to make more
Love you’re videos, Thanks
Kudos on your precision milling! And great videos!
Well done, enjoyed the video and the craftsmanship.
Super nice. I'm sure Tom would be proud.
Nice work
I have also learned so much from you tube thanks for the time sharing
That half round to hold small stuff in the vise is brilliant, need to copy that :D
love the half sphere smasher, a thing of beauty
Brilliant little cutter !!!
That is one wicked wire cutter!
I was banned from social media two yrs ago and just came across your channel again. You’ve definitely taken machining up a notch 👍🏼
Great information here. You know what you are doing.
New guy here, I have been looking for this video for almost a year. My buddy told me about it but could not remember the channel but alas, I found it by accident. Awesome.
You should have asked me I would have told you where it was 😉. It's a cool tool not that practical to make but I use it all the time for welding at the bench
this is art... thank you for sharing
Excellent work sir! I enjoyed every min of this project. I work in the die industry and have been a machinist for over 25 years now. So heat treating for me is almost a daily occurrence. I just found your channel and I'm looking forward to watching some of your other Vlogs. It's always nice for me to see another machinist work. Keep up the great work Sir!
Thanks man.....well make sure to tell me if im doing anything wrong because I don't have nearly that much experience
I just found your RUclips channel and I'm glad I found it because I learned a lot with just this one video. I'm looking forward to watching more of your Channel.
I just started welding and I,m getting good , I'm making tools I need at work and around the house. I got a cheap Harbor Freight flux core MIG welder so I can't do thick metal but I'm getting good. Not your level but I'm getting better, I'm not catching myself on fire anymore, LOL. Now that I'm starting to weld better I think I need to get a TIG welder and a better MIG welder.
just learned about your channel. Look forward to watch them! (novice welder with a non gas mig looking to upgrade!)
Wow how cool bro, I wish I had found your channel awhile back would've been cool to win. Bad ass new tool you invented great work and the video editing is spot on, thx
Beautiful piece of workmanship.
Basically an overbuilt cigar cutter :D . I'm really glad i found your channel, great quality videos.
Thanks for sharing!
Very good finish and quality keep up the good work
First time to your channel and severely impressed. What a wire whacker you built!
Tom is wicked smart when it comes to tooling and fabrication. You have a pretty awesome shop from the toys that I see! AND know how to use them also. Would love to see that YES show up in the big brown truck in the near future! What a great giveaway, you are doing a fantastic present for your viewing followers, good on ya. Was wondering how that tool would function, glad that I saw the notification that shows it in use.
Tom Lipton's book, " Metalworking Sink or Swim" is an invaluable resource for any fabricator or machinists library! I think you can still order it through MSC.
@@jeffpitzer8521 I had forgotten that he had a book ill have to look into it
Nice work, I follow you on Reddit and saw the latest post. Reminds me of something Bridge City Tool would produce, elegant versions of simple tools. Instead of JO blocks try an adjustable parallel, no stack issues and a set of 4 covers most everything and can be left in position to re-test. Those and a Planer gauge are often overlooked but super handy once you get to use them a few times. Excellent work and look forward to more.
Thanks man.....I prefer adjustable parallels but I didnt have any small enough.....ill have to check out bridge city tool
Not just textbook machining, stellar photography and editing. Overkill wire cutter. Perfect. ✌
haha thanks James.......I only want to build things once even if they do end up a little on the heavy side
Although I've watched nearly everything, I was waiting for a new vid before subbing and commenting. Well worth the wait 👍 Really enjoy the way you present things. The bandsaw clampy thing is great and I love the overly complicated wire cutters.
Mostly I'm super impressed that you will give away that welder after testing it😍, I wish that all companies and youtubers would do the same thing.
Cheers Westy and look forward to the next one🍺
Thanks Bill!
Beautiful work. I wish I had skills like that.
Loved the half pipe clamp accessory! Your channel is getting better and better!
Thanks Allen!
Great work thanks for the inspiration you give us beginners .
You got it man im just learning myself and always will be.
Nice job!
I love your welding table
Dude you have the dream shop of toys. Nice video
The pipe segments to hold material can be stacked, as in two segments contacting the material and a third one pressing on their centers. Friction aside each of the four contact points on the material will apply the same amount of force.
Another great video, good music and good camera angles.
This channel is destined for greatness.
awesome tool and the radius turner as well haven't seen one like that
I love what your doing man
thanks for the great content
Another excellent video!
Excellent concept and top notch work as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man
Half a millionth over? Love your videos man, keep making them and you will definitely grow this channel big time. Please take us to work with you too, awesome stuff my friend.
Excellent example of determining which gage blocks to use for the length you want. I’d say your micrometer is reading 5/10’s high. Great work and video as always..
I've had a set of adjustable parallels that I use to measure inside slots. I found them to be very accurate, and they travel well between home and work.
That works well too, I was missing the adjustable parallel that was small enough for this one
Brother, you have an excellent channel here. Great visual depiction of techniques, not a lot jabber, gives credit where credit is due…. And gives back to his viewers. Well done, Sir.
Thanks Trevor I appreciate that man
There’s no words to adequately convey the impressiveness of your craftsmanship. I’m blown away. Your depth and breadth of knowledge of tools and processes is pretty astounding and it makes for a very pleasant viewing experience. Not to mention all the effort and time that goes into setting up your camera(s) and tripod(s) to get such quality images and videos. Great idea for a tool and even better execution. Did you consider some type of receptacle on the backside to catch all the cutoffs? Maybe incorporate magnets in some manner. That way you are saving the time of cleaning up various wire scraps from your workspace.
Thanks Charles.... I might end up making something to catch all the clippings the magnet is a good idea
As a tool maker for 40 years you did a very nice job looks like you have a real nice shop that is a nice boring head looks like a Wohlhaupter that is in beautiful shape.
Enjoying your Chanel and projects. Would love to see a shop tour with info on your machines and your most used tooling/adapters. Specifically lathe and mill.
Thanks Brett a shop tour is definitely on the list.......coming soon
Very cool!
Really useful tool. Your video editing is GREAT!
Thanks!
New subscriber.
I am wanting to get into welding. Have been thinking about it for a good while now. I love your new wire chopper, I would love to build something like that but Im not that knowledgeable in the machine shop tools. Keep up the great work
Nice that the RUclips algorithm suggested your channel. Great episode. Subcribed! Greetings from Belgium.
That's one cool tool!
That tool is total and complete overkill.... I love overkill! Great job...more videos please!
loved it thanks man
Love watching the up close machining, it is mesmerizing to me! Cool Guillotine also. When chopping, (try) to get in the habit of making a fist and using the soft muscle part on the bottom- by the small finger, you will thank me later on in life. Your vids never disappoint.
@Don Smith : Sounds like you speak from experience... I too have met up with Arthur Aytiss later in life! 😉
Looks like a very useful tool.
I'm blown away by your videography! Really appreciate how informative the videos are as well, even though I'm not and likely never will be a machinist it's very easy to understand. Not sure who referred you, might have been Inheritance Machining, but definitely sticking around :)
