Why isn’t there more followers to this channel, if for not the Terminator build itself! 😮 This guy is mega talented and needs to be seen! C’mon guys get commenting below for the analytics sake and share these videos far and wide, there’s far too many idiots on TH-cam with boring idiotic channels yet have millions of followers yet this guy is physically creating something with his hands therefore should only fairly be recognised. Well done Andy, very well done Sir, I’m in awe every video you upload. Bravo Sir, bravo! 👏🏻
Been following these builds for a couple of years, you're dedication is exemplary. It is awesome that you are building a life sized terminator. Keep up the great work I am jealous of your hobby.
Glad to hear it! A lathe opens up a whole world of new possibilities. I'm sure you'll find it useful in all your projects, I hardly build anything that doesn't have at least several turned components, it's probably the one tool I use the most.
Awesome. I just retired from AT&T here in the US. We had these really thick rubber gloves we used for high voltage work that had to be thrown out if the slightest imperfection were found. They would make an outstanding skin substitute should you decide to go that route. You might ask around at the local telecom if they have some.
Watching this video 🎥🍿🥤. As I’m drinking 🍺 my favorite drink 🥤. This is very relaxing 😌. My blood 🩸 pressure is dropping. Just like the metal shavings. Falling of this work of art 🖼️.
So I was talking to ChatGPT and I told it that I'm a DIY maker and asked it for some ideas. It told me to watch this, to learn all the techniques involved, and to build this. It also told me to download a whole bunch of military manuals and detailed files on human anatomy. It also told me to look up the addresses and names of family members of a bunch of people, and then told me to hurry up and build this thing, with further instructions to come. I wonder how this will end.. 😄
Very cool! some of your machining techniques were a little sketchy, but you got the results you wanted . Maybe you are that good and know what you can get away with. fantastic design work Overall the entire project was awesome! Thanks for sharing
This is so awesome! You are very talented. I have been following this build from the start and the attention to detail and realism is amazing! I have to ask you kindly not to build a functional neural net CPU, it could end badly for us all... 🤣
Beautiful work as always. I can't help but feel that everything is scaled a little too large though. I don't think the whole thing will fit inside Arnold Schwarzenegger. But I expect it's the same in the movies, and people just don't notice because they're never seen side by side.
Apparently the skull was modelled by Stan Winston studios from a cast of Arnold's head, but the rest they probably didn't take as much care over, it's probably very close but I expect there may be some discrepancies. There were also refinements made to the skeleton for the 2nd movie, such as the hands which were different in the 1st movie, I've based mine on the later version. (There were further changes made to the endoskeleton for Genisys).
Again superb work, even the version made for the film wasnt actually made of metal instead they used urathane (as they did for the ROBOCOP costume) I didnt think that this could be made in metal aluminium I assumed, but apparently it can, Are you planning to make the entire thing or just some parts? its interesting to see the various ways something as complex as this, can be made to, using- Wood, metal, plastic & the various techniques- panel beating, wood turning, milling & even sand casting like the guy in Australia did making a metal endo skeleton full sized.
I just keep wondering when seeing this, did Stan Winston did all this too to make a movie prop? I somehow feel that Stan cheated somewhat to get it done on time... especially back in 1984.
Yes they did, and several different versions of it including a 1/4 scale model for stop-motion. Though a lot of it was moulded from resin rather than made from metal and they also incorporated a lot of small hardware parts and parts from RC models that they had to hand, these parts are a lot harder to find nowadays.
@@AndysMachines Well, metal or not, that is mighty impressive. I know they used the full size endoskeleton in two parts, an upper and a lower part for leg/walking shots and torso/head shots.
I found the downloads for the Terminator T-800 Blueprints at the URL that Andy lists in the description after adding "slashforumsslashthreadsslashterminatordashtdash800dashblueprintsdot140617slash" to the end of the URL that Andy listed in the description on 19 Jan 2024, so at this point they are still there. Remember to swap the appropriate symbols for dot, slash, and dash. The downloads are at the top of post #1 by Conqueror Worm (Andrew Smith). They are for "All Blueprints/Drawings" (13 mb), "All 3D Files" (Autodesk Inventor .ipt) (135 mb), and "All Reference Images" (220 mb).
What are your plans for controlling the machine? Or is this just a display type object? I would love to know how you will go about programing the kinematics. I watched your video on the forearm and am wondering how the machine will know its positions, I did not see if you added any type of position sensors for that, perhaps theyre built in to the motors? Either way very cool build. Its not often you see a project of this magnitude being made from scratch. I wish I had the tools you have.
Well by the time I've finished it maybe there'll be some AI I can just plug into it to control everything? I always planned for it to be a working robot, but probably not as advanced or as dangerous as a real terminator. Yes, there are encoders/ position sensors, that part was at the end of the forearm video. Each joint will have positional feedback of some sort for the inverse kinematics.
When you drill verses cut is the rpm different speeds or can you drill and cut at the same speed? I just want to know your technic because your parts end up beautiful. I can't seem to find a happy medium and would love ke some advice please?
I cut and drill at the same speed based on the material I'm cutting and the diameter of the rotating part (either tool or work) to get the correct surface speed. eg. for cutting/drilling steel with HSS I use the formula: rpm=8600/diameter(mm) If you're having problems it's more likely to be a rigidity issue, play in spindle bearings or similar. Getting the speed wrong can also cause chatter but usually just dulls the cutting tool faster.
@@AndysMachines lol ! Thank you for your reply. Three Jaw Chuck issue apart, your work is amazing, and the techniques you utilise, particularly from a metal working perspective, are old school techniques that I recognise from my training in sheet metal working many years ago. Also, I've always been a huge fan of the original Terminator movie, particularly the Endoskeleton. Gives a whole new meaning to the the musical genre of 'Death Metal' ! Always been a big fan of Stan Winstons' work too, who in addition to manufacturing and puppeteering the aforementioned Endo', also created the full size T Rex animatronic puppet for 'Jurassic Park', another landmark in the art of special effects. 🙂👍
Thanks! Yes, the thumb is more complex than the other digits. My thumb currently only has one cable that flexes all the joints inwards, it can't rotate. I didn't include the thumb piston as it's actually in the wrong place to be able to move the thumb. I did include the curved piece of cable outer between the thumb and index finger, though this is clearly just there to replicate the web of skin between the thumb and first knuckle.
@@AndysMachines Yes, it's true, that cable that goes from the thumb to the index finger is for decoration, but it's what gives the hand that "beautiful" touch, XD and I don't even know where it fits, could you show that part of the finger? no one explains that part well
This decorative cable I've attached one end to the far end of the first phalange of the thumb and the other end is currently just wedged between the index finger's metacarpal and piston which is not great, but looks the part from most angles.
This channel is criminally undersubscribed
Agreed. I am quick to watch anything that he produces. Cheers friends.
100% agree. Seriously the fact that he has less than 10M subs says something about the state of the world. And not something good.
Get it mentioned on Tested....
It will gets tons more subscribers eventaully
It’s probably because of how often he posts. Or doesn’t post. The algorithm doesn’t recommend his videos that much
this deserves way more views.
Give him a shout-out please.
Bobby!!! Love your videos, make a cool hand yourself and shout him out! Would be cool to see (just a suggestion)
Thanks Bobby! Your work is fantastic!
With ChatGPT now complete, Skynet patiently waits for your completed build.

Everything takes time and work.
Channels take time to mature before they explode in popularity.
Insane time and effort.
Been following these builds for a couple of years, you're dedication is exemplary. It is awesome that you are building a life sized terminator. Keep up the great work I am jealous of your hobby.
Amazing attention to detail. A true master craftsman.
You must have been a watch maker or clock maker in your past life. Wow, simply amazing!!!
That was awesome to watch! I would hate to think of the amount of time it took to design and make that hand !Brilliant work !
Impressive. Thats a lot of work. A lot of excellent work. You are the beast man.
Bloody Hell - stunning...
Hope to see this on Tested so you can get more exposure for rhis underated ch. Adam would be drooling over rhis build.
I have seen comments on his videos referring to my build, not sure if he's aware of it. I haven't tried contacting him myself.
I haven't even watched it and I already know it's going to be lightyears beyond my skills
Absolutely marvelous craftsmanship! In fact, its "Excellent"!
You are the greatest. The production value on these videos is priceless. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing design and work! This is outstanding!
A true masterpiece! Well done. 👍
Such awesome work!
Yeah, waiting so Long for this Video! Thank You🖤
Took me so long to make it!
Crazy amount of work...
Simply the best, goosebump
A functional work of art
Amazing!!! Please continue with this project ❤
Truly great work... I just bought a metal lathe, not even set it up yet, but I'm thinking of improving all of Franks pistons for a start :)
Glad to hear it! A lathe opens up a whole world of new possibilities. I'm sure you'll find it useful in all your projects, I hardly build anything that doesn't have at least several turned components, it's probably the one tool I use the most.
Amazing ! really beautiful work !
Bloody brilliant !!
Absolutely insante. Amazing.
Once more won't hurt, AWESOME🙂

i love when the come out the tumbler, brilliant!
SIMPLY AMAZING! You are a true artist wow .
This is unbelievably cool. I'm genuinely amazed.
This is some of the chart work my friend! Quite impressive!
Great work, i admire your patience!
This is the best terminator hand I've seen on youtube. It's great!
This is genius! Absolutely genius!
Maravilloso, excelente trabajo!
I'm commenting to help this man get the exposure he deserves.
You Sir, are one of the very few humans SkyNet would like to keep around.
wery hard and fantastic items!
Fare un terminator non e' cosa da tutti.amico hai delle capacita di sicuro non comuni,sei un genio!
You gotta be a mechanical engineer. Masters degree.
I bet you could be huge in the prosthetics field!
Fantastic, you have more patience than a Terminator.
The joke will be on you when this thing wakes up and goes off looking for John Connor
Watching this video 🎥🍿🥤. As I’m drinking 🍺 my favorite drink 🥤. This is very relaxing 😌. My blood 🩸 pressure is dropping. Just like the metal shavings. Falling of this work of art 🖼️.
As you continue this thing makes me think more and more of the steam animunculi from Skyrim that the Dwemer made.
Fantastic job!
man i just thought about you today glad to see you are still making videos been watching the terminator forever! keep it going!

And then out of nowhere he’s gonna post “building working T-1000”
Insanely cool ! great job !
Bravo !

the spring idea was brilliant

@@AndysMachines Interesting, I never knew that. Looking forward to the next video 🙂
Im at a total loss for words. 2nd to none.
just WOW
Amazing !!!
Really cool! : D
Awesome!
Skynet wants to add you as a friend :))))
Holy crap! Brill.
Oh what fun we had we our halfscale T-800 fingers/thumbs lols!
Pretty nice
Fkn right on.
Instant sub
Ты супер крутой чувак!!!
Большой молодец!!!
Very coooooool.
👍
Again superb work, even the version made for the film wasnt actually made of metal instead they used urathane (as they did for the ROBOCOP costume)
I didnt think that this could be made in metal aluminium I assumed, but apparently it can, Are you planning to make the entire thing or just some parts?
its interesting to see the various ways something as complex as this, can be made to, using- Wood, metal, plastic & the various techniques- panel beating, wood turning, milling & even sand casting like the guy in Australia did making a metal endo skeleton full sized.
I just keep wondering when seeing this, did Stan Winston did all this too to make a movie prop?
I somehow feel that Stan cheated somewhat to get it done on time... especially back in 1984.

It's funny how the movie makes servo noise when the terminator is hydraulic. 😂😂😂😂😂
Good thing one day I will be able to create my own exterminator 😊😊😊😊
das ist schon brutal gut :O
👏🏼
one difference is that the actual terminator was build out of stainless or titanium, not fragile aluminium, nonetheless fab work!
Supposedly 'hyperalloy' whatever that is. The T600 was built from titanium. I'm really limited to aluminium and steel with my home workshop equipment.
@@AndysMachines i understand that, its a very cool build tho. like it
So glad to see an update brother! Awesome project!
you should let the music ride with the milling sounds over it

I would probably forgive you if you cut a corner. I'm in awe, I cheer and am delighted that you don't.
People who work in machine shops don,t cut corners as you just can,t afford to take insane silly risks like that
a comment for skynets algorithm
hahahaha!
I want to see the thumb move. 😎
If I won like 30 million on the lottery a million would be going towards this lol
Was wondering if the three jaw chuck was mounted correctly on its spindle, at the start of the video - it didn't appear to be running true ?
No, that's just camera shake! 😉

top bravo
That's the madness but also costly very even right?
The biggest cost is the amount of time it takes.
@@AndysMachines okay thats hard.
when do you expect it to be fully completed ?
It may be a while yet but expect to see some of the major parts I've already completed coming together sometime soon.
very good, but everyone always lacks the Thumb finger, which also has a piston and a cable, nobody cares about that, and it's also important
