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.
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.
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 😂
Doors are always opened after learning from The Pie 👍😎👍
It all hinges on paying attention. 😉
Labor of love.Love of labor.Interchangeable.Thank you,Joe.
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.
No louvres? Still a first class part though. The porosity in those castings really shows up in the close-up shots.
Regards, Preso.
Great Work!
the lines on the drawing look green to me
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.
Thanks Joe, another master class which will be spinning around in my head for a while! regards from Wales
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...
Really enjoyed this video Joe. I always learn something from you setups and techniques. Thanks!
I’m just blown away by your skills and craftsmanship.
I never leave your videos without having learned something, nice outcome 👍
Always amazed with your talents!! Thanks for sharing them! The door looks awesome!
I see what you did there. And thanks for remembering to demonstrate the solution to a question from about 4 months ago. 👍
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.
Excellent video and first class commentary! Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
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. 🙂
Excellent work Joe. Watched Texas do a number on Oklahoma state.
Mate, I love your work. You are a very clever man! Keep 'em comin'.
Thank you very much!
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.
I am not a machinist and don't have any experience in the trade. I find your videos informative, entertaining and funny! Thanks!
Joe, you make it look so darn easy......
The part was already in there...I just removed the rest. :)
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!!
Great work and great tips, many thanks Joe!
Simply incredible Joe.
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.
Great work! I think it would be even nicer if you round off the corners of the door a bit.
Nice Joe! Learning more every time.
Just awesome
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 😃
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.
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!
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.
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 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.🙂🙂
Looking good. At first I chose brass door but after seeing the Aluminium door I changed my mind. Thanks
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!) :)
Great fit of course and I am sure liking that door just as it is, , , A THING OF BEAUTY.
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.
Anybody else want to see a series of Joe Pie lawn care videos?
Love this, mini machining. I learn so much from your video's. Thank you.
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.
Good job. Great detail and dialog for the fans. Thanks for the video Joe.
😮 I am speechless. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I do like it when you demo with the rotary table... As always, Great Video!
Bravo!
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)?
Joe.... that door is turning out beautifully!
The door turned out very nice! I'd be tempted to leave it polished :)
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.
Nothing to say but "wow".
The brass will be shiny. Leave the door shiny.
This video is a great learning opportunity for anyone who wants to know how to think about doing a small complex part. #NaturalTeacher
Thanks.
Really great work as usual. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Excellent Joe, thanks for the time you take to explain what you are doing AND why!
Sacrificial parallels! It seems so obvious, yet, why didn't I think of that? Good stuff!
Beautifully done.
Nice upgrade Looks good
What an amazing amount of work on such a small piece , but well worth it and something that you can be justly proud of . 😉.
good video and good job Mr Joe pie..thanks for your time
Magic indeed! 😶
Love it, Joe! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Joe, amazing set up - i just learnt how to make a door - think it will be a weeks work for me
You have outdone yourself this time!
Thanks again Joe
What a great exercise in forward planning
I love this channel
Love it Joe can't wait to see the hinges and handle...
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.
Absolutely beautiful part Joe thank you for the detailed explanation again gonna be a great build thank you.
That is a work of art.
Total perfection as always.
A thing of beauty indeed. 👍
Surprised you did not machine the hinges as part of the door.
IMHO the single pin looks wrong- it shouts out that it cannot be installed or removed.
Love the method of centering the rotary table- will try it next time...
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.
WOW!
Door looks awesome, Joe.
Wow. As always, awesome work holding. Many thanks for sharing
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.
Seems like this part would have been so much easier on the CNC. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done on a manual machine! Beautiful work.
It would have, minutes, but I usually target my material to an audience I believe doesn't have a CNC mill in their garage.
@@joepie221 correction. minutes to machine but almost the same time to program and setup?
i find thats the part most people overlook on CNC... it doesnt mount vices or clock in jigs, and you still have to tell it what to do.
and lets not get started about those times that "the computer says nooooo"...
effin wireless mouse batteries gone flat! keyboards gone glitchy! the dog chewed the rs232 cable! weee! have to update! dont turn me off for the next three days!
gee im negative :) it simply means im never disappointed, and when things do run smoothly, im pleasantly surprised :)
i am yet to see the video explaining how NOT to throw things across the shop and walk out in a huff... lol.
Great tips and techniques as usual.
grate door Mr. Pie
Coming along nicely! 👍👍
Thanks Joe
I have indicated many different spindles to zero like you did only to see them wobble out of zero while they were rotating
Nice work as usual. 👍
Thank you.
Looks awesome Joe. I think the corners would look good rounded instead of square. Just a thought.
@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.
Beautiful an\mazing detail
Nicely done
Beaufitull job excellent work enjoy
Awesome young thanks for the video
Dittos deemstyle
Thanks Joe
Hi, how you did polishing in cavity on external surface of the door, especially in the corners? Thanks in advance!
hi mate use a dremel tool and all of its polishing pads very small and very good
Very nice work!
Mind blowing...
fantastic!! Who needs a CNC
Cool.
Would it make more sense to hinge the door at the rear for easier access from the front of the machine. its knit picky, I know, but if you're putting so much effort into detail, why not?
