I am a large welded structures engineer who likes to work on DIY project on the weekends. Here you will find videos of me designing and building tools for my shop, workout equipment, and much more. I post a mix of voiceover build videos and ASMR build videos. I also sprinkle in a few fabrication tips and trick videos.
Let me know if you want to see any specific builds!
@@AXNJXN1 I have looked at them in the past. I just never thought the cost was worth the single use case tool. However, the amount of wasted time may reason it after this project! Good suggestion! Do you have one? Are they good?
@@mooseworks Greetings! I do. I as WELL considered the SAME argument with myself... I decided to go the Harbor Freight route and this machine was absolutely, without a doubt worth $100.00. The time saved, combining working flat surfaces and the round stock you worked with your sander really, and I mean REALLY makes up for it in time based on the composite, fibrous rotary pads that come on them. It's a powerful tool and makes easy work! I actually clamp mine upside down to a table and run my round or square bar OVER it lengthwise and there's no other machine or process (angle grinder included) that's remotely faster. My Harbor Freight SCT has been outside in the Tucson Sun for 3 years and has yet to fail. It's a workhorse. For that reason, it's simplistic effort and effective cleaning time is certainly well worth it. The only thing is it's loud due to the gearing in it having such incredible torque. But that's nothing, just wear proper PPE, right? Love your build, but cleaning off the table top would literally take 1-2 minutes with an SCT. Best of luck and congratulations on your build!
@@AXNJXN1 this might be one of the single most valuable comments I have seen. I am seriously considering it now! Clamping to the table…. genius idea!!!! I am looking it up right now👍👍👍
I’m going assume you are under the age of 40. If not , kudos to you: 😁 Let’s say started welding at 20y0, so that works out to be about 20 odd years in the welding industry.. How have you broken so many regulators like you’ve said you’ve seen? And also why or HOW have you gone through so many welders in your time ?!? Hahah.
I am 32 and I started welding at age 8. I grew up on a ranch and had the luxury of always having access to a welder. I have not gone thru welders myself - just had access to quite a few. Same with the regulator. I have seen some broken but mostly heard of the common issue 2nd hand. I am not a welder. I only weld as a hobby for project I need or fun. 👍
Hi Moose Works ~ My computer is a bit long in the tooth, so I can't get very good resolution, which makes resolving the text, for example, nearly impossible. Is there another way to get your drawings? In PDF form, perhaps? I'd be happy to pay you for them.
Send a email to the address in the video description and I will send them over for free! I hope they come in handy. Let me know if you end up building it and how it goes!
Buy an end mill for your drill press. Specs aren’t tight for you in this case. It’s literally a five minute job tops. A cheap end mill will eat up that tap.
I have a bench liek this on my workbench my grandfather made it a very long time ago still held up to this day one of my most used seats in the shop. Great Video keep up the great work
Never wrap your spacer all the way around the blank you’re making a sleeve for. Secondly, Jer Schmidt did it right on his 2x72 belt grinder build. Id’d encourage everyone to watch that series. He is a wizard.
I have an old wobbly ryobi that I’m looking to replace. Half the price of a new one to fix. The new speed adjustment is interesting but it seems that all these presses are comparable at this price point.. the run out is the most important thing to me. I think you’re stool design excited me the most! Great job 👍🏻
Thanks! It was a fun project and definitely different. Runout is one of the most important functions of a drill press and most cheap ones are not great. But they work nonetheless.
I keep seeing people hold these like idiots claiming it’s safer like seriously do y’all have the wrists of a 12 year old Dutch girl that you can’t hold onto it like a man and stop it from kicking back with shear forearm strength alone? I can and I’m not even strong
The chainsaw is also pretty good for light demolition work too. I know my jobs maintenance department has one for cutting up those light wood shipping crates and irregular sized pallets to scrap the wood.
Thing is, the chain saw wheel it's billed as a shaping tool used for carving. If you want to cut vines and small branches, even a sawzall with a wood blade would be a better and safer option than the chain saw wheel. Stumpy Nubs did a series of videos on what happened to him with one of those chainsaw wheels. First time I saw one on the shelf, I marveled at the horrible Idea.
I really hope you don't have a gas saw with the way you were using the battery saw. For the size branch you were scarily cutting wrong that's about the right length of time even with a gas saw that size. Chain size makes a huge difference, that is a micro chain and cuts very small chunks out of the piece being cut. My gas powered 14"Stihl cuts about the same as the 80volt 18" masterforce unless I do naughty things to the masterforce chain. With the naughty chain on I can cut almost as fast as any of my full size gas saws. As for the shaping wheel, they work great for what they are intended to do. What you were trying to do is not it. If you are wanting to get a blade for the grinder to use to cut branches you should should get a diamond cuts anything blade. Please, before you hurt yourself or someone else get some proper training in safe chainsaw usage.
A lot of the electric chainsaws come with a...umm...less than optimum chain. I got one of the Lowes battery saws. Great little saw but I had to go buy a decent chain for it as the included one was as dull as a butter knife and wouldn't even sharpen.
I think I may leave it bolted. It feels super solid. I don’t love it on my table though. I’m thinking I am going to make a stand for it. What are you thinking for a swivel?
