ME: oh look, a blondihacks video I havent seen before... (clicks play, immediately clicks the like button)
I unliked the video when the blue painters tape came out, SO I COULD LIKE IT AGAIN! LETS GOOOOOO
I got a good belly laugh out of rechecking that the clamps were tight for the third time. Can never be too sure.
To be sure, to be sure, to be sure
"I Wanted To Make it" That statement is what makes you awesome!
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I love that you showed your mistakes. It happens to everyone, and seeing other people make mistakes helps some people to not get discouraged
Probably what I enjoy most about our craft is the adventures of problem solving with minimal, undersized tools, and "unsuitable" materials. I just SO enjoy watching Brooke's work for this reason. She shows' it all: mistakes, setbacks, and successes. Plus she is a really gifted teacher and presenter.
"Always double check those clamps".... Good lesson!!!
I forget the vertical slide clamps on the mill sometimes and that causes problems in more than one axis.
In Arabic there is a saying, “A thimble of luck is worth 6 ass-loads of education.” Very clever solution to cutting that blank in your bandsaw. I know you have been commended for this before, but I really appreciate that yiu show your errors and, to the extent you can, why they occurred. It helps me not be terribly bummed when I made errors, and to try and remember how to avoid errors. Great YT as always.
Blondie, You do a fantastic job with your "thinking out loud" while you work which makes you an excellent instructor. Thank you for producing these videos! I always learn a lot from your videos.
I thought you were about to say " So I put a bigger fuse in" 🤣
Could wrap it with foil...I generally try to incorporate that step prior to smoking my motors. Saves on the cost of the bigger fuse.
Never be tempted to do that.
@@BrianFullerton back in the day, we had one of these glass tube fuses blow in a car. My grandpa found a twist tie in the trunk and used that to replace the fuse to try and get us back to civilization. About 5 miles later, the paper on the twist tie lit up like a candle under the dash.
Also i love the way you show your mistakes. I get told off on the model engineering forum often for showing my mistakes , or as I call them .Bloopers.
DC motors typically have slight timing so when running backwards the current is coming late to the winding.
Blondihacks video beats whatever thing I was working on before it popped up!
Wow, we had a cameo appearance of the real Quinn a 16:09 without the DuRag and those blackrim safety glasses. You should let us see the "real you" more often. Even MrPete shows up "on camera" now.... Another good video BTW...!
You almost burned the lathe! You're a monster! LOL, i love your videos!
How can a video have only 3 views but have 14 likes??? No matter, another neat experience from Blondihacks!! Thanks!
YT paradox
I play a miniatures game called Warhammer 40k, and one of the factions it is called 'Imperial Fists'. When ever I hear Quin say 'Standard Imperial Fist Shake' it crosses my wires for a moment and I imagine one of those guys shaking their fist at the work instead.
The standard Imperial Fist fist shake is the same as the no. 3 Astartes fist shake, as outlined in the codex.
I like the fact that you show issues in real world problems that happen during machine work ..some ppls vids edit out these problems and make text book vids which trick us into thinking its just so easy ... Thank You ...............
Time for a bigger shop and bigger mill & lathe. You've officially outgrown your small machine shop. It was inevitable. Great content and voice over information is outstanding.
I completely agree about the 4x6 bandsaw
Somehow through the magic of the KZhead algorithm I arrived here. I’m tremendously impressed with the quality of both your narration and your work.
Thank you. I'm an old guy, but I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos.
Ah, a 'bleep' moment! I have those. More than I think you do Quinn! Best wishes. BobUK.
Seeing how you recover from mistakes is the best part
As a novice I find the mistakes and errors you show to be so valuable and more educational than those vids that show perfection from start to finish. Thanks.
You can always tell a true machinist by this pattern: Works on a thing - fucks something up - identifies the problem - solves the problem - comes up with ways to solve the already-solved problem in a parallel universe where the first solution didn't work.
Hats off to the unmentioned adjustable vice support pictured at 16:49. What a great idea that maybe deserves it's own video.
It’s just a machinist jack. I did do a video on making those, for what it’s worth! 😄
This time next year I can envisage an ABOM size lath in your workshop, no matter what machine you buy it's always just not quite big enough. Regards from the UK and thanks for sharing
The more videos I watch, the more I like you and your channel! I'm not a machinist. I worked in a machine shops inspection and a little bit on a Monarch VMC. I'd really like to get a mill, lathe and few other machines. I'm learning so much from you and the entertainment is great! Thank you for your hard work on the videos!
Once all the smoke gets out of a motor, you need a new one. Another cool project.
Here I was just about to go downstairs and make some content for my new machining channel (for which you have certainly been an inspiration) but I found this just in time 😀
I agree with you on the premise that, if you want to learn, the best way is to make as many of your own tools as possible. A dual benefit being learning and cost control. Kind regards, I subscribed and tagged the bell.
16:49 - The unsung hero is the vice jaw jack thing. I want one.
26:10 I think we are going to have to have you involuntarily committed to the This Old Tony Home for Wayward Punsters.
Now my Saturday is complete! I’ve been going through your older teaching series’ and have really enjoyed them. Very informative and I love your humor. Awesome stuff!
Your explanations are really good, clearly understandable and a pleasure to listen even for a non English-speaking native.
Its very valuable to me that you show your mistakes in the process of making your projects.
Patients and perseverance wins in the end. I had to chuckle when you keep going back and retighten the hold down bolts. Reminded me of a co-worker that left a drain plug loose. Every once in a while I would see him going out to the parking lot with his drain plug wrench.
Impressive! Way to push the boundaries of the hobby-level tools.
Quinn, I absolutely love your humility, owning up to your calculated errors, or in other words, cock ups!. I recently made a similar adapter to yours albeit a 3 tee slot table to a 4 bolt 4 jaw chuck and encountered the same issues that you did. However, as you know, concentricity with a 4 jaw chuck is not a problem. Please keep the videos coming.
That Chinese bandsaw is a hero in my shop! I have run it nonstop for 12 hours cutting 1/² inch steel.
Double check three times! Love it.
ShameCam 4000... I lost it. hilarious. maybe one more double check on the clamps...hahaha
So i only found your channel recently and watched only a few posts of yours, but so far, you are now one of my favourites. I love your humour, presentation and details. Keep up the awesome work. I am so glad I found you.🙂🙂
Lovely project Quinn its good how you demonstrate pushing your tools to infinity and beyond. Think we've all had the oops forgot to tighten the nuts
I'm jealous of your power cross feed when I have to do stuff like that
You are a Hoot, I smile all the way through your videos.
So happy you shared this! I’ve been avoiding this project for a while, but I really need one for my Rotary table! Nice project to start when I finished the lathe!
"Just gonna double check those clamps..." 😂
Nice job. Love your "I'm going to do this" attitude, perseverance, and ingenuity.
07:35 The ticking might possibly be one of the commutator lands now standing a liiiitle bit proud of where it should be and rubbing on the brushes as it passes. Swap in the new motor and do a light pass on the commutator, satisfyingly using the new motor to fix the old, which should stop it prematurely chewing through brushes.
Would this also apply to a Brushless DC motor, which is the motor type that Quinn's lathe is equipped with?
Really enjoyed following along. I need to make time to do the same. Lots of time spent prepping round stock to mount between centers and fabbing the dog and drive assembly. Thanks for the inspiration.
Glad I found your channel. I love it when you make mistakes and show or describe alternative ways to continue on with the project.
Great job ! I think you are loving this hobby. I find it so satisfying to see the finished product.
As usual, I learned a lot. Your patience is impressive and your ingenuity is even more impressive. Thanks, Quinn.
What a beautiful result, and seeing how you recover from problems is really instructive.
Strong Work, Quinn. You’re a warrior on improvised precision. 😁👍🏻
That's good work making the tools stretch their limits. That has to be satisfying when you realize it came out right. Love your videos keep 'em coming, they're a bright spot in my weekend alot of times.
Super fun to watch, Quinn~ (check those clamps again). :)
That was brilliant ! very well done ! your skill and tenacity pulled you through . just great congrats ! Skip from Texas
Great solution for holding the stock in the band saw, certainly better than what I had in mind!
Meticulous, no stupid music, good narrarive and fun to watch and learn - thank you :)
I like how you show your mistakes and explain what happened. That is very educational for me. Thanks!
I was thinking..... we REALLY should get married. Excellent work.
Geez I’m really happy my rotary table came with a “factory “ D1-4 adapter plate!
I learned how to use lathe, cut, how to choose bits, and many other things by watching your Channel. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Yay! I was getting worried I was running out of your videos after binge watching them all 😂
Very interesting build. You did great, as usual. Thank You, Quinn.
Great improvisation for figuring out how to cut that big old chunk of cast iron in your bandsaw .
Very nice work. You are truly a very talented person. I enjoy your videos very much, so keep doing what you do.
Great in!novation on your band saw, it is amazing what a cup of coffee and a sandwich (or a donut) can do. I find that you love to challenge yourself, and it works to bring out the best for you. Great work again Quinn, cheers! Bu the by, I enjoyed the cantwist clamp build and got a kit last week, thanks.
Thanks for that video. Great to see someone managing too large work for their machines - I learned a lot more from this than I would have if it was made on a big mill/lathe
Feels like this sort of machining is 75% order of operations, 60% clever clamping methods and 40% lucky.
Quite so, and about 175% math.
Cool project. I'm fascinated by your troubleshooting and problem solving process. I'm learning a new way to think. :)
Great job! I always learn something mew from your videos. Next up, making dividing plates for the rotary table!
Well done, Quinn.
Awesome Job Quinn. You are a pleasure to watch and listen to. A good laugh for me as well, check, check and re-check. Love and admiration for you.
I adore you and your work. You are honest and genuine about sharing the good, bad, and ugly of the process. The retightening redux, redux.... comedy has moved my funding you via Patreon to the top of the list. I have to figure something out, you provide tremendous value and I need to pony up. Update- Your new rockstar is glad to do his part.
Nice work on the adapter plate. I have a grizzly 6" rotary table that is almost identical. I bought a 6" 4 jaw that has through holes for mounting and just bolted it directly to the rotary table. It was really simple works really well.
That's one of the things I admire about you. You have no fear. Great job.
Thanks for the review on the bandsaw too. I was thinking of getting one for Christmas, I will now.
A very useful project. I mounted a 6 inch three jaw on my 8 inch rotary table and had some of the same problems. Tip; When taking heavy facing cuts angle the tool face about 20 degrees to the surface for a smoother cut. 60 years machining but still learning.
I've noticed a lot of us are up there in age, I've been at it almost fifty and still learning.
Good tip about using angle plate in Horizontal bandsaw. Always hard to hold things in them other than cutting off lengths from long stock.
I've seen many videos and love to see more from you. So nice and you'r very informative and talented i guess. You are my fan and what a woman can't do? Keep going God bless you too 🙏🙏🙏
As ever, a joy to see your work. 😊
Dang my blood pressure is up after watching this. So much suspense
Thank you, for explaining things the way you do. It's a big help! Thank you, for sharing… as well!
Great job doing that plate on this size lathe, Kudos for patience and inventiveness-!!
You teach by example, yet at the end of the day, you teach. Thank you, I learn much from watching you.
What a demanding project for the existing machines. The challenges were high but your competence was able to finish the project successfully! This video among the many from you impressed me! You will get a new patreon this week👍
Really amazed how far you were able to push that lathe. Nice job.
Imperial fist shaker victory? Rogal Dorn would be proud. And since his hand is all that is left.... would surely agree.✊
I love your ideas and workarounds by the way!
Great video. I leaned something new almost every minute watching it. Also, omg, that was way too funny, "I'll put chamfers on it because that what's separates us from the animals". That was great, how true! Keep up the great work and thanks for making this video.
When I wanted to make a face plate for my Chinese No. 17 Lathe factory tool room lathe I realised that I could utilise a 20 Kg barbel weight purchased from a Cash Converters shop for $20 NZ. It had enough meat in it to make a reasonably thick 300 mm diameter face plate although I did find a couple of voids whilst machining it which I subsequently welded up and ground down when I surface ground it later. Thank you for showing your problems, I often wonder if anyone else forgets to tighten up things like I do. Thank you also for revealing the designation of my spindle - I had not been able to identify it until I saw this video.
Nice job, good to see you making it all work! Machining and mistakes go together, its your skill that gets you out of it, like your that keen eye. Wish you the best, love seeing your journey, thanks for sharing the videos. Cheers!
Excellent job explaining and machining. I loved it, now I just have to figure out which rotary table, large or small, to do this for maybe both. Thank you, Lee Gibbs
Awesome troubleshooting and problem solving! Really enjoy your content 👌
Angle plate. Bandsaw. Awesome. Yeah, the 4x6 bandsaw is one of my greatest purchases of all time.
I have been planning on doing the same project and since I have the same PM lathe and mill you have done a lot of the headache stuff for me. The only thing I will change is that I will go cheesy on material and use aluminum. It is cheap and readily available due to all the aircraft production work in the area I live. It also cuts so easy. It won't be as classy as iron but I think it will do the job. Thanks for all the hard work and head scratching!
Hi....i have the same Item. After 2 Years i buy this System completed. Your Adapter is great! Congratulions
