Simple belt and braces approach. Making all that well loved old tooling earn its keep. And doing stuff you haven't done before. Adding even more strings to your bow. Bring on the next bit. Looking forward to seeing this creation working.
Jenny (odd) leg, or hermaphrodite callipers, not seen or used those since my apprenticeship at the REME in Stirling way back in 1972. Great to see them being put to good use. Just happened across your channel, now subscribed, great to see someone else enjoying what they work at, so many square pegs in round holes in today’s workplace. Keep enjoying yourself and I wish you good fortune. Wullie👍🏻😊
Great video mate. I love the no frills zero BS approach to your channel and video's. So many out there with super shiny new machines that never get used or they are scared to get them dirty. Proper gritty heavy engineering at it's best and something that signifies that made in Great Britain ethos. I've never seen a profiler magic eye before I saw your video's. Amazing basic yet highly effective system producing some flawless flame cut plate with great definition and minimal dross. Homemade tooling is the best
Great content mate. It's interesting to see a mix of jobs and old and new equipment you use. This series is great too. Covers a good variety of processes. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
LOVE the making of the line boring machine, had some of my own ideas about making one myself [ always wanted to do line boring since the first time I seen it done ]And just love the photo eye cutting torch is amazing Ive never seen one of them [ probably like 80% of your viewers ] Your doing a great job and keep up the great work
Well done , I enjoy your channel home built tooling is mostly a thing of the past , happy to see you have the talent ,knowledge and courage to take this build on! Good job on the flame cutting!
That was and still is an amazing profile cutter you have. I am glad you decided to invest in the new one though. You are ahead of the game, as far as cool tools go for a little town in GB.
Looking great so far. Extremely clean torch cuts. I'm very impressed with how it's going so far. Looking forward to seeing it set up and boring. Great timing too because I am trying to figure out how to build one myself. Thanks for showing us your build.
Quite a bit of kit you’re making - your great grand children will still be using it ! Enjoyed the sax / bop during the mill work. Please keep it coming 👍🏻
Nice cutting. I've only used Oxy - Acetylene, for cutting plate. My first time on thick plate was 5" thick and I was bricking it, the two old timers told me to have the oxy on the high side when cutting and that worked well. I've cut 6" and watched one of the old timers cut 8", he'd been cutting for decades and he was so skilled.
I'm always amazed at how good a cut you can get with an oxy fuel torch on thicker material. Really liking your channel, shows how the majority of real work gets done. Nice that it's a UK channel as well.
Main Battle Tanks (MBT's) in the British Army, including (no doubt) the updated Challenger 3's have always had a hot water boiler for making tea incorporated within the tank hull as a standard fitment. As you have a certain panache for making things "substantial", I will piss myself if you have a Challenger 2 parked in the yard for making your tea when you "nip-off" for a brew. Good on you!!!
Nice progress 👍 get a dro for the mill just fitted a cheep one to old Victoria mill like your Elliot, transformed using it! I’m metric too hated trying to work in imperial 😂
I’m looking for a bigger mill. This one doesn’t have enough clearance between the quill and the bed for the type of jobs I want to do. Definitely want a dro on the next one though.
Bigger always handy, ours is the turret style one so pretty versatile. Looks like you’ve a nice range of machines in the workshop 👍 how have you acquired them all?
Watching this with interest. I've been thinking about building something similar, but using a small hydraulic motor, powered off the petrol portapack (JCB Beaver clone) we run our log splitter off. Think i might have cut the 4" piece out of your 30mm plate and cut out and welded a 30mm thick boss to it then bored it through, but it was good to see your setup do a lovely job on that thick plate though. Get it set up in your new 4 jaw and you can remove a lot of that extra material ? A local hydraulic firm we use for hoses has just bought a small boring unit, can't remember the make, but it was £17k !
Hydraulic motors are better suited and more powerful but like you say, you need a power pack to run them. I chose electric just for the easiness. That would have probably been the better option but I just wanted to have a go cutting 100mm 🤣 Yes, I could remove some at the same time I bore the hole out. Expensive bits of kit! I can’t justify spending that amount on one.
I’m pretty impressed by the design you’re using, it’ll make a grand line borer. You’re a clever chap 👌🏻 I wonder if those outside of Yorkshire understand what you mean when you say you’re off for your tea? 🙂
Have you checked your laserprinter or similar if it is 1:1 accurate? Maybe you could print it out instead? I do that for my work, and for what I'm doing my printer is accurate enough. It varies for different printers and software used obviously. That permanent marker line looked rather thick anyway.
The Hi Lo catalog shows the VVC oxygen pressure for tips 1 through 5.5 is 100 psi. The Harris catalog shows the same 100 psi for the 6290 VVC sizes. Maybe you accidentally looked at the wrong nozzle chart? Does your table have an equal pressure or injector mixer? Where did you locate the 100mm plate?
I never thought it, but I sort of miss doing all that kind of shit. Unlike some of the prima donna's on TH-cam, you get the job done with what you have to hand. Not fancy but a proper working shop, the kind that people use to get them out of the shit. Farmer boy down the road doesn't care that you haven't got a granite surface plate, he just wants his kit fixed . Great channel.
This channel just shows that interesting content will attract views. No fluff, just raw engineering. Love it!
Thanks!

Wow thats going to be a beefy machine. I have never seen 100 mm metal being cut before - great job! Best wishes for part 3.
I don’t do light weight 😆 Thanks!
Watched it twice now and it is still amazing.

Awesome bit of cutting. I was pleasantly surprised on how clean the gas cut.
Very nice indeed.
Looking forward to part3 👍👍
Love watching the CNC machine to draw out the shapes - made me smile!
That's a monster cut!! Nice video as always :) 🇳🇴
Thanks! 👍

Fair play to ya, necessity is the mother of invention, it will be better than a bought tool I bet Good stuff out of u ! 👍

Ditto.
Amazing work as always.. that 100mm is some serious cutting!!
Every video is better than the last. Fantastic channel.
Thank you!
Fascinating work, looking forward to part 3. Keep it up fella.👌👌👌
Great video, looking forward to the next part.
It’s coming together. Looking great , can’t wait cheers
You certainly have an amazing talent, thank you for posting
Thank you for watching.
A proper engineer at work
Awesome video, thank you

Going to be quite stout for sure! Nice torch table.
another amazing video.
Thanks!
Love the Sharpee compass. You’ll have to make it a merchandise item😊
🤣
Awesome update!
I thought the 8x4 sheet of 30mm hardox we have at work was thick! Mega cool you have the capabilities to cut that at home
Brilliant, certainly won’t wear out in a hurry 😊
Hope not!
What a cutting machine it's very accurate & gives a good cut good editing music works ok good luck in getting more subscribers

Thanks!

Nice work again. It’s amazing how nice oxy fuel can cut when done properly.
Alsome job man..

Must be dinner time...
ziet er weer goed uit.🤩

hiya my friend, trust you are well. i am looking to make my own. do you have any drawing or sizes that is where i am stuck
How did you get your start? With what machines did you start your business? How did your business progress? That is, machines and job types.
👍

Good job! Does the pattern cutter use an optical scanner to read the pattern? What brand is it? I never saw one before.
I’m not sure how it works. I think there’s a mirror in there spinning around. It’s made by BOC
@@snowballengineering Could you use a cad like Autocad Inventor, then load the cam file strait onto the cutter? Great videos keep it up...!👍👍
Your tracer did a great job on that 100mm material!
👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
Couldn’t you drill holes in the 100mm plate to take some weight away from it an keep it rigid?
Will have to do something to lighten it because it’s very heavy!
🙂👍
Nothing ever broke that was made way too strong 😂
That’s true!
Nothing too strong, ever broke!
Very true!
Good
☹🇬🇧
What is the name of this cutting machine ?
I call it a magic eye profile cutter. Made by BOC
I enjoyed the video contene. Worst choice of music I could possibly imagine....
