How To Make A Simple Copy Lathe (out of water pipes!). 

A wonderful example of ingenuity in action!

If there was ever a mad professor , in the nicest possible way 👍👍👍

Don't worry, I get notified of all your videos! :) I checked and RU-vid hasn't missed a single one in a year (about the time I've been subscribed). I quite cherish the bell system - it means I can be subscribed to channels but only be notified occasionally, or for every video (like I am for yours). And then some channels I have set to never being notified, because I've grown tired of their brand for a bit - but the RU-vid algorithm will still suggests them in the related videos. I'll also occasionally go through my subscription list and re-bell the people I've missed. Which means once in a while, I get to fall in love again. It's more elegant than having to unsubscribe altogether, after which the algorithm only rarely recommends that channel again, or I forget what it's called. It's a bit more finicky than the yes/no system they had before, no doubt. But I think I would be subscribed to way less channels if I had to be notified of every single video on every single one. Some channels post every day, and it gets to be a bit much. I do think the standard bell setting should be full notification! For people who don't want to fuss with it.

The wing nut limiter was a brilliant idea.

Mega courage makes a megacopy attachment maybe less courage needed for this than for the bandsaw but your are to be admired. They should turn you into a tv program! Maybe call it “Don’t do this at home”

The material you use to make your copy jig was very ingenious.

These videos are criminally underwatched / underliked :-( They are easily on par, if not better than a lot of the 'trendy' channels.

I love this project you put together with your wonderful gift of seeing how to make things work out of something simple like the pipes for a copy of a lathe! Now I am quite excited about your next video on what you are making and sharing your talent with us! You both have a wonderful day and keep up the good work on your channel and videos!👍❤️

I was not receiving ur latest updates for quite some time, I don't know why! But today all-of-the sudden I got it now and very much happy.

Can't wait...I still think your panel saw is pure genius.

The suspense! Where would be without the people that go, I wonder what happens if...

Hello friends. let us be grateful to our friend who posted this video sharing knowledge. It doesn't cost anything to like and make a simple comment. It is the least we can do in gratitude for his work. thank you!

We love your wonderful creative projects! It makes me want to drag out my lathe and make something! Maybe later this spring.

Clever as always. I don't doubt that you could figure out a way to get to the moon if you put your mind to it! Thanks for sharing.

Kudos for another brilliant and practical project.

Cool video! I’d like to see more frequent videos of your nice farm animals, cooking and everyday life hehe. I love your guys’ lifestyle and storybook style speaking. Thanks for making videos and sharing with us! God bless.

Can’t wait for the new stable building videos/updates to comeee.

I get excited to play the button everytime i get notified that you have new upload video ❤ from philippines❤

Pretty darn kool that contraption is !!!!!

love the simplicity

Love these simple farm smart engineering videos. :)

i have never touched the bell notification thingy and all of the videos i'm subscribed to come through on my subscriptions feed.

What a great teaser for your secret project! :)

Tim, you are such a tease!

Absolutely brilliant - as usual.

You are a genius Tim ....great

Perfect, I like the approach. I´m a little curious if the force on the router and the router bit at start time is a bit too much, because the work piece is uneven shaped. But I saw the Kress router does a good job. Well done, thanks for sharing.

Great job again Tim thanks

if i remember right you had a nice cnc like mine.... you can get a very cheap 4th/5th axis aka lath attachment for you mill for $300 all day long.. and its precision

Beautiful!

Ingenious as always Tim, awesome :)

Are you making wooden notification bells with the lathe? 🤔

Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also

Interesting method Tim!

My understanding of pipe sizes is they started by having outer diameters that were simple inch based values. The inside diameter was the result of the manufacturing process (I'm a bit fuzzy on this part). Then, as metallurgy improved, a pipe with thinner wall could carry the same pressure, so hey kept the oddball inside diameter, to be compatible with old pipes and reduced the outer diameter. The result is pipes that don't have any dimensions that match their "nominal" diameter.

Water Lines, seems to be this, defined by Inside Diameter... and by wall thickness, length thereafter. Your little threaded rod piece, was not far from any backyard leadscrew. I used a Coupling Nut ... affixed under the table... then only a locknut, ... a regular nut, and a simple crankhandle to turn it.... the coupling nut removes much backlash as normal nut would give.

That is bloody clever

"... so I had to stop and make one of those first …" Well of course you had to! You wouldn't b e the Tim we all know & love if you could resist making one.

You Sir..are a genius! New sub :-)

Hello! Will you use it to continue building the doughnut machine? I hope so!!!

That’s pretty cool!

Hi sir, magnific work👍👍. I would suggest if you are using the router you maybe will see a better result if you start from the rigth site to the left site. You won't stress the cutter and also the cutter would be more accurate.

You, sir, are a genius. May I ask what your "guitar machines" might be?

Very nice

Thanks for the video.

Tim seriously when do I get to meet you! You’re an inspiration

Those are ‘plain bearings’ you have made, and try measuring the tube ‘bore diameter’ in order to find your 1” measurement!

Nice!

Good

Feck RU-vid. I always go looking for your videos .but I understand you frustration and them not notifying people. 😐

Right

Jeez! They built the Lusitania on that lathe! Its insured against fire, theft and red indian raids!

Pragmatic! May I ask for the measurements of copier, approx ok. Irealize I'll need to adapt to mine. Thx

Genious

Just a question about bee's, would it work if I was to join brood boxes laterally with a piece of pipe and then stack boxes on top joining them laterally with pipe as to have a "twin tower" type of hive or even many towers joined via pipe? Just seeking your advice as you are the master.👍 I am a new beekeeper, and am in it for the bees.😀🐝

one day the FBI will take you tim and clone you if you ever go missing i will know why but before i die i must shake your hand you are a clever man

Tim, I love you but seeing that lathe with all that rust just hurts me! I really hope most of that is just wood dust.

which is the followup to this?

Skittles?

If you measure the inside diameter of the pipe you will find it to be 1".

+ 149) Класс!

This is just getting ridiculous. We are bound to have SOME similar hobbies but two channels and one specific tool later I think you are spying on me, from the past...

Check out mine

Oh mahhn, I am retiring soon heck of the soon the money is going to get me hole lot of juice drink and laugh my guts out idk it's the accent, projects, ideas you plant instead of my juice money .. ..get lost
