Now that is what I call a backyard workshop. I have really been looking forward to seeing this workshop completed. Cant wait for the next project video
You and me both I can’t wait to get stuck back in and start some projects. Loving the vids atm that vice looks sick and it’s cool to see how you hardened low carbon steel. All the best.
Great progress with the shop Joe, never a wasted moment when you are setting the shop up to be pleasant and efficient and clean. Thanks for the tour and cheers!
Thanks Howder yeah the shop is looking great now. I’m my next video I’ll do a full shop tour before cracking back on with some projects.
Shop came out really nice! Looking forward to new projects!
Hi Gerald, yeah I’m going to do a full shop tour before cracking on with some new projects
Great workshop Joe, nicely done. Now I've got workshop envy!
Cheers, Ian
Hey Ian,
I know how you feel for years I have watched peoples workshop videos and wished mine for as like That.
The indicator you are using is a dial indicator, not a dial test indicator. A test indicator has a lever arm.
Thanks for that Mark I’ll try to remember for next time.
Go on joe!!
It’s akki
Haha cheers buddy.
Good video mate, like it! Hell of a job on the workshop 👍
Thanks Buddy it’s been a journey to get to this point.
Well done Joe. Your workshop looks like it will be a great workplace. Looking forward to seeing a full tour. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew
Thanks Andrew the workshop is getting there and to make the tour video extra special I will be featuring another TH-cam creator on it.
Take lathe of the wood and rest on the concrete if it was laid correctly it should take the load the wood will move and give inconsistent levels depending on heat humidity and vibration.
Hi Jon your comment makes completely sense. I am going to see how it goes when I start running the machine and turning stock down again. As with everything around the lathe to remove the wood will be a right pain.
Dont look at the camara to us you are lookin the wrong way love tour chanel
Thanks for the advise Henk glad you enjoy the channel.
Joe, Levelling a lathe proves nothing, you should be checking for twist and bow in the bed between the headstock and the tailstock and making sure the tailstock centre is along the spindle axis, you will only know this if you machine the diameter over say 12" and check for taper along its length, re the mill, you say rigidity is an issue if you shim one side, how do you know all four side are sat flat now without checking.
Hi campingstoveman what you say makes complete sense when it comes to the art of metrology when setting up machines I still have a long way to go and very much a newbie here. As for the mill I am just assuming the column is flat to the base but then again you know what they say about never assuming. Anyways thank you for your comments I will take it on board and do some test cuts over the next weeks.
going to fit a DRO on that mill ?
Hi Derek, yeah the mill already has a dro fitted I did do a previous video on it a fair while ago now.
Unsubscribed for the following reasons.
1. Jealous of your new workshop.
2. See point 1.
Really enjoyed your videos mate keep up the good work. Cheers
Haha you had me worried at first Matt when I saw the top line. Hopefully you don’t unsubscribe when I do a full workshop show and tell videos ;)
Everyone thinks they can do electrics. Doing and doing safely to the regs are two completely different things 🙂
Yes this is true many things have been pointed out to me on the latest inspection of my installation. At least now I know what needs to be done and can act on it to achieve a safe workshop.
The lathe is sat on a sheet of chipboard thus no matter how level you get it now it will, overtime, become out of level again, take the wood away!
Also, why do you continually watch yourself while talking to the camera, it’s a tad weird!
Hi Anon,
Yeah I know what you mean it’s a habit I’m trying to get away from.
I will have to see how much it sinks as if I can keep the wood to protect the concrete I will also I thought it might help spread the load a bit.
@@MachiningwithJoe love your work joe work shop looks amazing so far
@@makingshiz7502 thanks dude I am really looking forward to showing you around the place.
@@MachiningwithJoe As I mentioned to joe some time ago... look at the 'LENS' not the monitor screen.
