No you are awesome and you are a very good teacher i enjoy watching your TH-cam videos i have learned a few things and im new to all of this so as i said sir thank you and your an awesome teacher
Thanks for this 4 part video . I now have mine almost done need to do tracking arm and pore the flex it 70 then see how it works once again thanks for sharing.
Brilliant Build. Thank you for taking us on a voyage of discovery and allowing us to share your knowledge. Top job. Well done. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Tim, you sir, should be marked as a national treasure...or at least our blacksmith family treasure! Your inginuity is pretty dang amazing. No really you are. Blessings 2 you sirSir, Crawford out.
just finished my surface grinder it works great and I half to admit it looks a lot like yours . thanks again for the 4 part video , my scrap pile had a lot of 6x6x 1/4 box so the frame is a lot different but mag vise and the slide is a carbon copy hope you don't mind . I do tell any one that sees it that I copied yours. I really enjoy all your videos and have learned a lot from them keep up the great job.
Man, you are amazing. I can't touch your mechanical skills but our generation's "Can Do" attitude and the work ethic that we take for granted is, I fear endangered. You Sir are a poster child of those values and I salute you!
I thought the power hammer was slick but then I watched this 4-part series. I'm in awe. I know a TH-cam video abbreviates things but you throw things together so fast.
It's always nice to see some old-school ingenuity, within a reasonably modest setup, whilst making use of stock and bits found around the shop. Love your work Tim.. Subscribing...... Now!
I can smell that zinc from here😂nice work tony.but I’m sure he’s got one hand metric and one imperial and a little pinky for small holes. You built a great machine👍just shows what collecting crap for years can turn into.👍👍
Looks like one great machine and the fact you made this from mostly scrap completely astounds me! I am most definitely jealous of your ability to use your finger and punch a hole through steel you should teach us the way! And the #Blacksmithsknotchallenge mentioned in the live stream is something I started to challenge everyone to tie a knot out of steel.
I love this channel. The narrative is reminiscent of garrison keillor. I wouldn't mind if Tim stayed from forging and fabricating to possibility the changing seasons, blueberries, Caterpillars and your favorite pie filling.
This is the first set of your videos I have watched. Your a brother from another mother. I have built most of my equipment and tooling from scrap. Loved the series on the surface grinder and will be planning and building my own in the next month or so. Keep up the good work.
This has been a great step by step. It is amazing what we can make with stuff just laying around and a bit of imagination.I had my doubts about these little welders until I really put one to work. 3/4 NO PROBLEM. Sweet build fella !
Your ingenuity never ceases to astound Tim. Great series. Thank you so much for this! With a little luck (and a lot of perseverance) I hope to at least attempt to mimic your incredible work some day soon.
Hey Tim, what a terrific video series and awesome tool. Grinding damascus billets is tedious work and this will sure make a difference. Thanks for sharing your build and all your uber tips and tricks...
Awesome work, Tim.... the grinder looks fantastic!! Loved the "This Old Tony" bits.... made me laugh. Almost had coffee squirting out my nose when you punched the first hole... totally unexpected.
I’m absolutely impressed. I love fabricating, and enjoy it even more when ‘repurposing’ used materials. My ex-wife used to call me a pack rat, until she saw what I was able to create from what she considered junk.
Okay, I get it now on how it still grinds flat. The very bottom of the wheel only touches so the linear movement is still running true even on a tilt. For some reason I was picturing the belt running a flat surface, not just the contact wheel end contacting the material to be ground. Awesome job, Tim. I suppose you could call it "Kate" from Kate Moss, she's pretty flat, but still looked good in her outfit in the "Matrix" movie trilogy .
I really enjoyed this series. You have a new subscriber. I may build something similar to help build the homemade lathe and mill I am building. Thanks for sharing 👍
This video series was recommended by TH-cam and man, it's a cool channel with great content. and this video at 5;02 had me LMAO. Cool. I'm subscribing.
First off, thanks for posting this series, very nice!!! Second, can you comment on how well the rubber contact wheel has held up over time? thanks again
Outstanding build. I definitely prefer to watch you and your projects over Alex Steele any day. He is okay, but a bit flighty for my taste. He doesn't have nearly the experience you do in solving the various problems that come up in a Black Smiths shop. I wish I could give you two thumbs up.
Time, money, and floor space never seem to increase when you need it. I think most of us battle with the too small of a shop we quickly outgrow. Not to mention man's age old conundrums of "I can build it or buy it, if I had the money or the parts", the frequent "do I have the time to build it?" quickly followed by the biggest problem of where am I going to put it once I have it. It is a vicious cycle made worse when you can't afford land or money to expand you shop. Nice job on your grinder, do you have an update on how it has held up?
You’ll have to make some wedges so you can do tapered full tang knives, it’s a beautiful thing to have a loveless type tapered tang knife in your hand.
Impressively clever solutions! Following along with your build, I must say that I greatly enjoyed watching you put the puzzle together & patiently figure out all the details. I respect those who show such professional determination & resourcefulness. Just HAD TO subscribe :) I do have one question though, if you can spare a minute to reply: Please clue me in about the mig welder you're using; I'd like to know which one it is, specifically. Thanks for sharing, BIG DOG!
Another fantastic build, sir! You never cease to amaze me with your gadgetry skills! I just want to know if you saw all of the pieces come together in your mind before you built it or if you had a rough idea and then found parts to sort of suit as you went along?
I like it! It would be interesting to see just how even the pieces work out from one end to another compared to a normal surface grinder. How about "Sparky" for a name.
This thing is killer! But doesn´t it grinds a taper into everything you grind on it? If you turn the handle on the screw for the height adjustment, the magnetic chuck will only raise on that side and will therefore tilt a little.
really nice work. it will be extra satisfying every time you use it knowing you built it.
Awesome build!
Thanks!
No you are awesome and you are a very good teacher i enjoy watching your TH-cam videos i have learned a few things and im new to all of this so as i said sir thank you and your an awesome teacher
Slippery Sliding Sue!
So that's how it came about, now for some sign writing "big Dog Forge" on the side of it. Thanks Tim, great build.
Nice work, simple and very useful. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding! Nesessitty is the mother of invention!.. 👍
Thanks for this 4 part video . I now have mine almost done need to do tracking arm and pore the flex it 70 then see how it works once again thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job 👍👍
Hands of steel. Holding a nut while you weld it? Ouch! Love the build.
Brilliant Build. Thank you for taking us on a voyage of discovery and allowing us to share your knowledge. Top job. Well done. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Great build Tim! Lol...poking a hole with the finger, gave me a good laugh. Consider naming it "Sandy" 😀⚒️❤️

Fantastic job Sir.
Super cool Big Dog!! I am going to cast some rollers so I can turn them on a lathe to have a middle that is larger for the belt to stay on better....
Valeu!
Very cool build! Thanks for sharing!

Awsome build like normal Tim. I can't wait for all the projects you use it on. ⚒ on!!!

Beautiful.
Wow, excellent work, Tim! Bravo!!!!
Wowsers that was an awesome build Tim!
Well done. Very nice design. I would never have thought of it. Great Job. R

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoy hearing your thought process.
Just amazing what you come up with. Thank you for your time and hard work God bless you keep them coming my friend📖⛪

You are awesome my friend you have a lot of creativity
Amazing work
appreciate the little detail, the blanket stuff to avoid dust
Nice work Tim
Awesome work, Tim.... the grinder looks fantastic!!
Loved the "This Old Tony" bits.... made me laugh. Almost had coffee squirting out my nose when you punched the first hole... totally unexpected.
I was thinking, looks like ToT must have been giving some evening classes on kung fu!
nice build! as soon as i come over a cheep magnet table i am planing om making something similar :)
Great build!!! I suggest Sparky or Magnus, as another poster suggested.
Mint. Love your videos and im currently mid build on something like this. Will keep in touch
Awesome, thank you!
Haha your ingenuity in crazy! From a boat trailer to a surface grinder? Nicely done, Tim, thanks for bringing us along!
Surface grinder look awesome Hope to see beautiful knives grinding on that.
Very nice work my friend. I really like the way you made your bearings turned out. May have to try that myself. Once again, Great job. Take care.
Very nice build Tim! I am currently working with a horizontal mill to make a surface grinder option too.
Hey Tim, good to see you. It's been awhile. Awesome build. Let r eat
I’m absolutely impressed. I love fabricating, and enjoy it even more when ‘repurposing’ used materials. My ex-wife used to call me a pack rat, until she saw what I was able to create from what she considered junk.
Great machine! Might call her Flatty.
Love it. Great job.
Just excellent work, sir!
Blown away by your creativity and skills. You aren't afraid of trying out new ideas.
Great way to to finish the night
Another great video Tim thanks again for all the great and informative vids
Gee that's good, you're very clever Tim, love this grinder.
That is freakin awesome.
Well, what could be a better name than "Gertie".
Looks good, l always enjoy the videos.
Keep up the good work Tim !!!!
nice work on your belt sander. Looks like it should be fantastic.
Tim if you have to mess whit galvanized smoke you can drink a quart of milk and that will help to fight the smoke poisoning .

Awesome Tim, what you come up with is mind blowing, good on you brother.

Palec nahoru z České Republiky mistře krásná práce.👍👍👍 Vždy se těším na nový,tak jen tak dál a HODNĚ ÚSPĚCHŮ👌👍👍👍

The contact wheel is round so the plain stays the same it just gets closer it does not grind a taper.
Thanks for watching
You could mount an adjustable throw crank arm to that mag base travelling component pretty easy with your skills / enthusiasm.
Part 5 ?
I like it, thanks for watching
Worlds strongest finger lol great video as always
I see you have learned This Old Tony's old 1,2,punch
