How to Make a Dice From Steel | DIY Welding Project
REALLLLY Should consider a SCT (Surface Conditioning Tool). They are incredibly wonderful and cleaning up surfaces just like yours.
@@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!
@@mooseworks I sent an email. Thanks very much.
@@bt5526 I will get to the email in a day or two. Not a problem!
if hole and bolt placement are not critical, just drill and tap a new hole next door to old one and leave broken tap in place
I wanted the location to be symmetric to the other ones. I intend for this vise to last for years and wanted it to be right👍
My man. Ill subscribe. I emailed you by the way brother had a question
I appreciate that! I will go read it and hit you up soon. Thanks!
Build it up with a mig enough to grab with vice grips , just did one on a v4 wisconson , works for broken bolts as well
Thanks a great idea! All I had at the time was a stick welder. So I don’t think I could only weld on the tap.
@@mooseworks Split a piece of copper pipe , drill a hole the size of the tap or a bit smaller and put it over the broken tap or bolt
@@davideden6413 that is freakin genius!
Heat the metal up then let it cool then pour liquid nitrogen on it and chisel punch it out.
Not a bad plan, but where do I get liquid nitrogen?
I’m new and old,what do you mean score the bottom cut bottom first?
Make a shallow cut on the bottom of the branch directly below the location you cut from the top.
@@mooseworks thank you

Thanks!
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.
End mill on a drill press? Are you just suggesting vertical travel? If not, I would need a cross table and risk breaking the drill press!
Chambers on wrong side is definitely something I would have done. Some of us just don't get any slack from Murphys Law.
Chambers on wrong side?
That's fu***** bull crap hardened steel but breaks!!!
That’s what I thought! Haha
Bravo ! Really simple with basic tools . I like it !

I love mine but the speed control lever is ridiculously stiff. Is that normal?
Seems to be the case. Mine is very stiff too!
Thanks for plans... :-D

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.
That he is! Thanks!
Please use a mask while spray painting
Yep. You are correct. I should have had my respirator on.
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.
Wood chipper review tomorrow! Good job!
Thanks man! Maybe a DIY chipper?! Haha
Score the bottom then cut the branch. stops bark from ripping and saw from pinching.
Great tip! I do this with my chainsaw, not sure why I didn’t think to do it with this!
Cool review, hit all the issues that comes with these things. Thanks.
Thanks! It is pretty useful though! I am glad I got it.
Your production quality and showmanship had me have a double take when i saw the viewer count. Entertaining and informative, keep at it!
You have no clue how much that means to me! I have really been trying produce videos that provide value but seem to be struggling... Thanks!
Good tips pal, I second square over pipe. I made a big rocket stove in round thick wall pipe. I almost didn't finish it.😕
For sure man! It makes a world of difference. The welding table build took me a century to Finish. Square would have taken 1/8 the time!
That’s a BEAST of a rocket stove !
It sure is! I woke up the next day after building it and my back was killing me. Two weeks later… my back is still killing me! Haha
I too would like a combination cooking episode with this. QUESTION... where do you get your expanded metal?
Black bear…. I mean I found it at the scrap yard. Haha
Nice job.
Thanks!
😊
Thanks!
Awesome build Moose! Nice job!
Thanks! I got the idea from a reputable source 🤣
Simple and cheap. Simplicity is quite beautiful. Congratulations on another excellent project
Thanks! It was a fun build and the stove creates a ton of heat!
I have this problem in a motor shaft,where cutting is not an option. I will try to heat the tap and anneal it.
That is prolly a good option. I think a diamond bit could work also. Just don’t run it at a high speed and burn the diamonds grit off!
This thing looks perfect for backpacking...😏 I demand a video of you cooking something on it!
Haha I will let you take it for a spin! I plan to make a test video to find out how fast it can boil water! And I may through a steak on top👍
This thing is massive!
Thanks! It sure is - at least that is what my back is saying…
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
Haha this made me laugh.
Good video. I've not seen the chainsaw blade for the angle grinder. I just use my Sawzall fir trimming branches.
I would stick with the sawzall! This one might be a little sketchy!
I think the angle grinder attachment is more for carving wood. At least, that's what the art students at my college used it for.
You are probably correct. It was sold as a wood carving tool so…
Nice work, awesome tube sander hack! Bit disappointing you didn't get it flatter with the flame :(
Thanks! I wish that would have worked too. But I guess it has not proved useless… haha
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.
They seem to be convenient!
You can still use dewalt wrench on Bauer grinder. One peg goes in hole and the other peg to the outside of the ring. Leverage!
Oh I gotcha! I didn’t try that. I will have to go test that one out👍 thanks!
Stupid people buy stupid attachments for tools and then use them in ways of which stupid people do.
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.
It is convenient, but super sketchy. I tried to use one handed while holding the branches and I may not do it very often.
@@mooseworks Ya. The thing gave me the willies just looking at it.
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.
I think I just did! Thanks
Not even going to touch the grinder wheel. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Glad I could help! It is always nice to keep all ten fingers!!!
The Baur chainsaw seems a little dull
The chain was sharp in comparison to my Oregon chains. The chainsaw is just quite a bit slower.
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 very much recommend watching Stumpy Nubs talk about his injury and recovery. You won't cut off your hand, but you could do severe nerve damage.
I will look it up! That sounds like I want to avoid that! Yikes
Got any ideas for the swivel base? I've been thinking about it since I saw fireball tools come up with this design
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?
I caught that... It is rendered useless without batteries. Wait... it's lithium! Scotts totts!
Not sure I said it word for word, but you are probably the only one who caught my intended reference! 😂
bro that was really scary, I don't think it's a good idea to use this tools with just one hand.
Yeah it was a little sketchy. Probably not gunna run it like that again.
