I can tell you want to build a safe door. Not just any safe door but a replica of an old bank vault maybe in 1/10 scale from a solid block of brass or bronze. Something of your own design. It’s just a feeling I have.
As a true novice in machining, I have to say this was a masterclass in machining instruction! I wouldn’t have thought that you could make those door features without CNC, and the machining choices you made will require me to watch this 10 times to fully appreciate. In fact, I wonder if I’ll ever get it completely without trying to make the door myself. Thanks for your incredible videos- they are beyond helpful for newbies like me!
This is exactly what you need if you’re trying to think like a machinist. Joe goes into detail not only what, but why. Great logic from a highly talented professional. Worth its weight in gold! Keep watching, go back to the early days of his videos and it’s like going to school, but at your own pace and schedule. Keep coming back, just remember to show your gratitude by hitting the button 😂
You have the brain of a madman to visualize a design and the hands of an artist to create a sculpture ❤, thank you for your friendship and dedication to mentoring!!!!
Thanks for your continued support and positive comments Chuck. I value our friendship as well. Stay well sir.
Doors are always opened after learning from The Pie 👍😎👍
It all hinges on paying attention. 😉
Joe you never cease to amaze me with your talent. I've been a machinist for over forty years, and I have the pleasure of learning something new every time I watch your videos. Your attention to detail is amazing. What I would give to spend a day in the shop with you just to watch your process of approach to any project. You are an amazing teacher, thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm flattered. Thank you for the compliment.
Great Work!
the lines on the drawing look green to me
Labor of love.Love of labor.Interchangeable.Thank you,Joe.
No louvres? Still a first class part though. The porosity in those castings really shows up in the close-up shots.
Regards, Preso.
Wow, what a high standard you set. And the results show. Those hinges & pins and going to be very interesting to see being made. Great explanation on your thoughts and techniques.
Great piece of work! You certainly need to be on your toes to pull off something like that on a manual mill, and always be conscious of where your table backlash and cutter dwells are. I'm surprised that you've not rounded the external corners and thrown out the single hinge pin idea to make it a much more convincing "cast" door, but I know nowt...
Thanks Joe, another master class which will be spinning around in my head for a while! regards from Wales
I’m just blown away by your skills and craftsmanship.
Really enjoyed this video Joe. I always learn something from you setups and techniques. Thanks!
I never leave your videos without having learned something, nice outcome 👍
A long one looks cool and makes hinges hold in line. tricky design but good. Spindle method is the "TOPS". Perfect idea and function. Wow.
No point to point anymore. Beautiful finish job.
Thanks.
Watching you work just makes me realize how blessed you are with talent, experience and knowledge. The lions in their dens tremble at your approach!😳
Thanks. I enjoy what I do.
I see what you did there. And thanks for remembering to demonstrate the solution to a question from about 4 months ago. 👍
I am not a machinist and don't have any experience in the trade. I find your videos informative, entertaining and funny! Thanks!
That bit about indicating the motion of the rotary table is a golden nugget! Thanks so much for always sharing little project savers like that. 🙂
Always amazed with your talents!! Thanks for sharing them! The door looks awesome!
It is a pleasure to see you at work and hear you comment.
Never thought of it of time I would have lost.
Always looking forward to a new video.
Thanks!!
Excellent video and first class commentary! Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Mate, I love your work. You are a very clever man! Keep 'em comin'.
Thank you very much!
Anybody else want to see a series of Joe Pie lawn care videos?
Excellent work Joe. Watched Texas do a number on Oklahoma state.
Thank you Joe! You are badass and Nationwide .
Very educational as usual!
The outer hinge parts do look as if they are integral to the door. I'm curious about the decision to make them as separate parts, rather than actually being part of the door. The internal fasteners and lugs wouldn't be needed.
Nice Joe! Learning more every time.
I like your solution.One thought about the porosity in the main casting.Fine aluminum particles,mixed with clear epoxy,shou😢make a good filler.If you plan to paint it,never mind 😃
Just awesome
Great work! I think it would be even nicer if you round off the corners of the door a bit.
You talking about coolant reminded me; I recently posted a pic of me using coolant on a boring bar operation, a friend commented that coolant should only be used when drilling.
Well, it’s a long time since I went to college & I don’t remember being told when I should & shouldn’t use coolant, but this part was getting very hot, it was a piece of 25mm square steel & I was making an ER20 square collet block on my mini lathe, that’s pushing a mini lathe but I know what my machine is capable of (I also can’t find ER20 collet blocks anywhere).
Yes, my mini lathe has a mini coolant system setup (not mist coolant, I don’t like mist coolant on open machines, I don’t wanna be breathing that stuff in thanks, it’s a proper pump & sump setup).
I say use coolant for 2 reasons, primarily to cool (hence the name) & also, as you say in this video, to wash away chips.
I notice that Curtis on Cutting Edge Engineering uses it for all sorts of different processes.
That was the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say it’s only used for drilling, & he was an older man who’s worked in the industry (although I personally don’t rate his skills).
The weird thing is, this boring bar has a coolant hole drilled through its length 😂
Your friend is mistaken.
Great work and great tips, many thanks Joe!
Proper job! I skimmed through the vid, I'll go back later and watch it carefully and in depth.
Thanks, as always for your support of the hobbyist machining community.
Nothing to say but "wow".
The brass will be shiny. Leave the door shiny.
The set up to finish was a class room of How Too's,,,, Very nice addition to the Piece!
Thanks Bear !
Hello Joe. I have always liked your decisions to modify a build to suit you. When we are happy we make good decisions and do excellent work. Being not happy will stick out like a sore thumb eh. For great pieces you said it perfectly. MAKE THE SETUP WORK. The first time a/any tool touches the piece everything is revolving around that. Nice trick with the wrench on the wiggler. I have almost been tagged with a wild one. Makes a fella think and appreciate things indeed. Once again it has been a pleasure to spend this time with you. Thanks and take care old friend.
The most important tool for any craftsman - the Mk1 eyeball! Thanks for demonstrating it's use!
Best wishes to you and yours for the festive season!
Looking good. At first I chose brass door but after seeing the Aluminium door I changed my mind. Thanks
That is the method I always use when I set up rotary tables. Very nice work Joe. Thanks for bringing us along.
I have used angled champfer multi flute milling cutters in the past to do similiar work. I always got good finishes on the champfer.
Ah. I was hoping for some louvers. Sweet job though. Looks great.
maybe those are only where there is an electric engine on the inside? not used when it is only shelves inside, i would have liked them too, but maybe that is why
@@orgonewarrior1604My Mighty Comet knee mill has louvers on its side door. Nothing inside but the inside.
Simply incredible Joe.
The door is beautiful and I can see how you would like to admire it forever. However, it needs to be blasted to match the cabinet. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Awesome job as always Joe .
I have to keep remembering just how small your work pieces are! Great watching this Joe - a lot of work and numerous very useful tips. Super result - kudos sir... (indeed, labor of love!) :)
More work than anticipated perhaps - but the end result makes it worth it. Really excellent tutorial there for minimizing set ups to achieve best results on an intricate part. I love it, and the end model is going to look so much better as a result. Inspirational.
Many thanks.
@Joe, it would be most helpful if we could have seen the DRO readout in the bottom right when setting up for the chamfer. Excellent work sir.
That takes higher end software and simultaneous footage of both actions. Its a little more involved, but not impossible.
Guys, this is why I watch this channel.
Beautifully executed Joe! I love your approach on the hinges! Pins and/or riveting would have been interesting, too.
Thanks.
Joe, you make it look so darn easy......
The part was already in there...I just removed the rest. :)
More great tips for setting up and working efficiently that can be applied not just to small scale one-off work but to production as well. Good stuff.
Love this, mini machining. I learn so much from your video's. Thank you.
Very nice work!
Coming along nicely! 👍👍
Nicely done
Great fit of course and I am sure liking that door just as it is, , , A THING OF BEAUTY.
The door turned out very nice! I'd be tempted to leave it polished :)
I do like it when you demo with the rotary table... As always, Great Video!
Nice work as usual. 👍
That long pin does look super slick! EDIT: I really need to spend some time learning and practicing the use of the rotary table. You make it look so easy, and the results are outstanding.
Thanks. It doesn't have to be scary. Its a great tool.
I love this channel
Awesome young thanks for the video
Beautiful an\mazing detail
Thanks again Joe
Total perfection as always.
Thanks Joe
Beautifully done.
You really are a wizard with that milling machine, easy, he says. Not for us mere mortals Joe. I’d love to be able to use a cad do dad , but at my age, not going to happen.
Beaufitull job excellent work enjoy
Great tips and techniques as usual.
😮 I am speechless. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A thing of beauty indeed. 👍
Sacrificial parallels! It seems so obvious, yet, why didn't I think of that? Good stuff!
grate door Mr. Pie
That is a work of art.
Good job. Great detail and dialog for the fans. Thanks for the video Joe.
Nice upgrade Looks good
Given that you were on the rotary table (I get that set-up for convex corner rads would be too much for the value of the feature); I wonder why you didn’t crank the job round to 45 and make the corner relief as chamfers (straight cuts in X and Y at the canted orientation)?
Door looks awesome, Joe.
Much WOW! Thanks for the education.
Thank you.
Wow. As always, awesome work holding. Many thanks for sharing
Joe.... that door is turning out beautifully!
Thanks Joe, amazing set up - i just learnt how to make a door - think it will be a weeks work for me
Love it Joe can't wait to see the hinges and handle...
Excellent Joe, thanks for the time you take to explain what you are doing AND why!
What an amazing amount of work on such a small piece , but well worth it and something that you can be justly proud of . 😉.
What a great exercise in forward planning
You have outdone yourself this time!
Bravo!
Absolutely beautiful part Joe thank you for the detailed explanation again gonna be a great build thank you.
Really great work as usual. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
good video and good job Mr Joe pie..thanks for your time
Magic indeed! 😶
Love it, Joe! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Mind blowing...
Lovin it Joe! Yes, rotary table works. You could also use a volstro rotary head if you can find one. I love mine but it does light work only. The door here is just that.
This video is a great learning opportunity for anyone who wants to know how to think about doing a small complex part. #NaturalTeacher
Thanks.
love these videos i told my wife i wanted s shaper for christmas so she found me a brand new one for like 130 she was so happy i actually wanted a tool that was affordable it showed up yesterday from well i guess you know which one it was
The video series I posted on that machine should help. Good luck.
fantastic!! Who needs a CNC
Looks awesome Joe. I think the corners would look good rounded instead of square. Just a thought.
Dittos deemstyle
Thanks Joe
