I was surprised to see him cut the key way using a handheld grinder, I was thinking for something like that, rigging the grinder up in a fixture and having the work piece move back and forth underneath would have created a more accurate key way with a lot less stressful effort. Not being critical just thinking laterally. :))
I think you have progressed immensely with you tenacity and you perseverance you have become quite a machinist and future mechanical engineering technician, great job, keep up the good work as I have viewed all of these videos down here in Morganton, Burke County.
Very good video, really love making stuff myself, from scratch. Nice to see such a young whippersnapper, building something cool, I thought they were all playing freaking video games !! Well done and thanks for posting!!
Congratulations on some of the most ingenious ways of achieving something without having the normal tools to do it with. Your method of 'milling' using an angle grinder is something a lot of people would never have undertaken. A morse taper in the tail-stock could be a future project maybe, allowing far bigger drilling and milling with the work bolted to the saddle.
I'm saying your going to go a long way in this world man.. There have been grown men with years of experience that have not done as well as you have on this lathe build .. A++ job on this lathe build !! THUMBS UP ..
One of his helping hands is that he hasn't had as many helping hands as we all have had in the way we machine things. Newbies who have a God given ability to build , see things differently than we do or how to build them in a way that we are not in tuned to building. Like in a tooling shop it wouldn't take long to tell who's apprentice was working on something because they done things like their master. Sometimes those kids would have an idea that was so out of the ordinary , but a very simple solution to a big problem.
Hi. That is one awesome built lathe. I use a light coat of used motor oil to lube the parts I am cutting, Better cuts and easier on the tooling. Just don't breath the smoke. I have a small mini lathe I use for small parts, keep up the great videos.
I se a lot films with home made lathe. And I need to tell you I am very impress how u find solution to make the parts and u build the lathe. Wish u luck mr. Big-Brain👍👍👍
When you dont have much money to spare, you have to come up ways to do things. I would say person who gives up is the loser and those who develop the way regardless are the winners.
Hola amigo de argentina te felicito muy buenos tus videos lo haces tan sencillo todo muy bien yo me estoy haciendo un torno y no me daba maña para hacer el carro porta herramienta estos videos me abrieron la mente gracias y segui asi
Olá, estou assistindo seus videos desde o numero 01 e gostei muito da maneira que você fez seu torno mecânico apesar de achar que as chapas estão muito grossas mais é melhor grossas dimais do que finas dimais né, pois é seu equipamento ficou show de bola, muito bom, very good.parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho, estou começando a fabricar o meu torno mecênico tambem e vou fazder iguel ao seu, obrigado pelas dicas, valew.
Never heard a machinist wish the tailstock was shorter....bar none all machinist wish their tailstock was longer...you did a fine job. I'm sure you will not undertake such an arduous project for many years again....but that machine you built...can build a better machine.
Nice, that at this point, ya can use your lathe to finish your lathe. Seams that every major project has obstacles that need creative re-thinking to solve unforeseen obstacles. The key is perseverance and creativity, and you my friend have both, well done.⚙️🔧⚒🔩🍺🍺🍺🍺
Wow... the progress is astounding. May I suggest keeping a small tupperware and paintbrush of cutting oil nearby when using the tail stock for drilling? I'm thinking of Abom's videos while watching this... Great work
you should put a drill in the chuck and use it to drill your tailstock quill all the way through, get a morse taper reamer and ream it for #2 or #3 morse taper then make the screw long enough that when you back the quill all the way in it will kick out the taper, this does two things, 1 it ensures alignment, and 2 it lets you use standard drills, reamers, centers, and drill chucks with taper shanks like on a standard commercial metal lathe, you will find this most useful. you should also make a split on the back side of your tailstock barrel and weld on a couple bosses, one tapped and one with a clearance for a bolt so it will squeeze the barrel smaller locking your quill in place, you will want this as it is much more rigid than your current setup., the split needn't be full length maybe for a few inches from the front and drill a hole at the end to avoid making a stress riser. looking at a south bend tailstock this will all become clear, many other makers did it the same way.
Well, it's probably easier, it probably will be in the cartridge to install the center, because I think that he will do the center himself The truth is where he will have a center after three connections
Good day. I am also planning to build me a lathe for small jobs. What I am interest in is the grinder attachment you use to grind down the edges of the steel. Do you have a video building it. YOUR VIDEOS IS STUNNING.
YOU-ARE-MY-HERO!!!... I couldn't believe you've made a LATHE!!! on your own. You should take couple suggestions like the grease stuff and hopefully in the future you can make some enhancements to YOUR LATHE. Congrats HERO! Hey Chris, is there a plan to build a CNC milling machine?
It always makes me laugh when you say “absolutely no play” then you give it a wiggle and it moves 😂 That aside, I’ve learned a few things from you that will help me greatly when I tackle a similar project soon! What’s next a milling machine!!? Lol
You can get a MT2 Reamer set from eBay for under $20. With it you could have cut the MT2 taper into your tail stock and been able to change out the chuck with just about any size chuck you wanted. Plus tap followers, dead and live centers etc. A Chuck on a MT 2 arbor is also under $20 on eBay. Even a 3/4" Chuck is only a little over $20. You will also want to put a cam lock on your tail stock. Screwing the quill in and out with that hand wheel is going to get lame Quick!
Are you using hot rolled or cold rolled steel? Great job, a project like this is something great to show prospective employers or colleges because it shows a "Can Do" attitude and the ability to problem solve and literally create something from nothing.
Hello. I want to congratulate you for your projects, I started watching the lathe series and watched other videos as well. You inspired me building my own lathe, so thank you for that, you proved it can be done. Anyway, I was wondering what is the second song called, which starts at min 7:25. I like them both, but I was able to find only the first one. Could you please tell me, I'll appreciate a lot. Keep up the good work. Regards.
good night friend, guy who works spectacularly, congratulations for your dedication and patience, but tell me one thing, how do you do to stop the car from the counter? Would it be with the 4 screws that you installed internally?
i've watched a bunch of the videos in this series. i've also watched lots of vids on other channels. question: are you near asheville, nc? reason i'm asking is if you could tell me where you get your scrap metal.
hola tus videos son muy interasantes podrias hacer una biseladora electrica de tubos redondos a bajo costo porque soy soldador 6g y se me hace tedioso biselar con amoladora manualmente espero tu video y si lo traducieras tu videos seria genial por lo que soy de peru gracias saludos exitos
@ rather b welding love to weld and i would like to become a welding engineer watching all your videos help me out and just gives me props to becoming a welding engineer so thats why i was asking if you went to college for welding and what your job is that would be very helpful if you responded thank you and nice videos all the time. Love your projects 👍🏻👍🏻
Gracias maestro, usted puede vender los planos para comprarlos. Saludos desde Bogota, Colombia. Thank you teacher, you can sell the plans to buy them. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia
Obdivuji vaši odvahu pustit se do takového projektu. Postavil jsem si několik strojů na obrábění jak dřeva, tak i kovu, jako poslední pásovou brusku. Ale soustruh jsem raději koupil ( stolní čínský)
Great machine you made,but i have seen some problems with your machine: v belt to loose and the mainframe is not stiff enaugh ,wich causes vibrations and bad surface results on metal (also you have to use the correct angle off chissel) : build as much extra ribs on the main frame as possible and make the holder for chissel some rubuster,this gives a stiffer machine and better results ! I have made some machines and i had the same vibration problems. I have a chinese lathe,then a myford,and later a Hembrug wich is about 600kg (stiff.....) See my films on youtube and let me know if you have some problems with constructing. Fims name "Hembrug met frequentieregelaar''. John From Holland

Hello Chris my name shane look me up fabtech miller on Facebook going be be making the same metal lathe that you made on your TH-cam channel cant wait to get it started. Iv thought about buying a used lath but im like you thay cost way to much to get one so ill build it in my shop love what you do with thoes gocarts nice. If you got any ideas on how I should go about making this lath id be entered in hearing about them shouldn't be a problem Machining parts im a welder / Machinist at work dont wont to bore you with a life story lol look forward to being friends on Facebook maybe we could make a mud mower video together iv got a couple of mud mowers we could bash around some well hopefully here from you keep up the nice work bud.
I am an engineer and this is an epic project but sadly pointless, the basis of machine tool manufacture is higher tolerance than what you produce from it, what is produced is never as accurate than the machine itself. The tolerances on this machine are so sloppy that it will only ever produce crude end results, the work and cost put into it are not better than buying a used lathe which are not expensive in comparison.

Watch all your videos on your lathe, what an amazing job. Now I have thoughts of making my own.....🤔🤔🤔. Keep up the good work....👍👍👍
man , your getting better as this gets better.. the keyway job was super impressive..

You've come Quit a way in your progress Young Man - Great Job!
Nice work mate, I am impressed with your patience and resilience. Keep going to trade School ,once you have your ticket the world is your oster.

Awesome video man this lady is coming out beautifully
Hi. That is one awesome built lathe. I use a light coat of used motor oil to lube the parts I am cutting, Better cuts and easier on the tooling. Just don't breath the smoke. I have a small mini lathe I use for small parts, keep up the great videos.
Try diesel fuel and mix with rapid tap if you want the ultimate cutting fluid. Cheap and it lasts a long time and you get a mirror finish.
Nice projekt 👍🏼 Hope you make more series like this. 👌
Have a good One.
Greetings from Denmark
I se a lot films with home made lathe. And I need to tell you I am very impress how u find solution to make the parts and u build the lathe. Wish u luck mr. Big-Brain👍👍👍
I think you have done a great job. It's a nice lathe.
Can you leave your workshop open tonight, I'll pick it up.. 😎😍👍👍
good job dude awesome build!
Great work has been done.
Really nice build!👏🏻
This is quite impressive for a beginner.
Great work. Great skills. Better made lathe then average. Thank you for sharing
Congrats man!
Good job respect!
Dude you are like the white MacGyver. ;) Keep up the exceptional work.
You inspired me to build my own lathe, very well done. I might have a video of it here soon.
Kelon Hansen , me too!
USUALLY A LOOSER, INSPIRE OTHER LOOSERS.
HOWEVER, I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK

lkkjhtemmexv: The irony of someone who cannot spell calling other people losers is epic. Well done.
Pretty slick man
wow man the all the attention to detail this lathe build is amazing i wish i could do something like this!
If you have the space to do so, well you can. Stop dreaming and start living the dream.
@@lecobra418 yea.. what most ppl mean is " I wish I had the patience to do this"
Hey! You added some lights! 👍🏻
Nice job on the home made lathe
So that WOW great job bud I know you are happy now with the tail you can do so much more great job
Você e um gênio,muito bom seus vídeos me ajudou muito com meu projeto de torno também valew tks!!
WOW GOOD JOB MAN...
great job. quite the accomplishment 😎👍
Hola amigo de argentina te felicito muy buenos tus videos lo haces tan sencillo todo muy bien yo me estoy haciendo un torno y no me daba maña para hacer el carro porta herramienta estos videos me abrieron la mente gracias y segui asi
Awesome work!! But why not make the traditional tapered hole and then a bunch of accessories for it. Nevertheless you made it perfect!
complications = learning experiences, nice work keep it up
Well done!

Question . How much did you actually pay for all the material, beside your extensive physical efforts?
I wish I had scrap access like you do!
Olá, estou assistindo seus videos desde o numero 01 e gostei muito da maneira que você fez seu torno mecânico apesar de achar que as chapas estão muito grossas mais é melhor grossas dimais do que finas dimais né, pois é seu equipamento ficou show de bola, muito bom, very good.parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho, estou começando a fabricar o meu torno mecênico tambem e vou fazder iguel ao seu, obrigado pelas dicas, valew.

Love this little post apocalyptic lathe
Apocalyptica lathe, hehehe!!!
Ok I’m impressed. Time to make a Cannon!!
Wow... the progress is astounding. May I suggest keeping a small tupperware and paintbrush of cutting oil nearby when using the tail stock for drilling?
I'm thinking of Abom's videos while watching this...
Great work
Great gob you could bore it with the lathe to a morse taper at a later date.
you should put a drill in the chuck and use it to drill your tailstock quill all the way through, get a morse taper reamer and ream it for #2 or #3 morse taper then make the screw long enough that when you back the quill all the way in it will kick out the taper, this does two things, 1 it ensures alignment, and 2 it lets you use standard drills, reamers, centers, and drill chucks with taper shanks like on a standard commercial metal lathe, you will find this most useful. you should also make a split on the back side of your tailstock barrel and weld on a couple bosses, one tapped and one with a clearance for a bolt so it will squeeze the barrel smaller locking your quill in place, you will want this as it is much more rigid than your current setup., the split needn't be full length maybe for a few inches from the front and drill a hole at the end to avoid making a stress riser. looking at a south bend tailstock this will all become clear, many other makers did it the same way.
Well, it's probably easier, it probably will be in the cartridge to install the center, because I think that he will do the center himself

انت مبدع وعبقري شكرا جزيلا
Ok my friend show de bola ⚽️
You are the Pablo Picasso of grinders 🙂
You are amazing....
Muito bom mesmo... gostei muito cara!!
Meus parabéns pelo trabalho, seu torno é show de bola, sou de Floriano Piauí Brasil
You made that keyway with an angle grinder? seriously? Stunned.
YOU-ARE-MY-HERO!!!... I couldn't believe you've made a LATHE!!! on your own.
You should take couple suggestions like the grease stuff and hopefully in the future you can make some enhancements to YOUR LATHE. Congrats HERO!
Hey Chris, is there a plan to build a CNC milling machine?
have you thught about building powerfeed with threaded rod and a split nut?
It always makes me laugh when you say “absolutely no play” then you give it a wiggle and it moves 😂
That aside, I’ve learned a few things from you that will help me greatly when I tackle a similar project soon!
What’s next a milling machine!!? Lol
i'm happy too..........that's great'....i like it.
Man, what a great job!!! But that puny drill chuck does not do it justice.
Hat off to you Sir.
You can get a MT2 Reamer set from eBay for under $20. With it you could have cut the MT2 taper into your tail stock and been able to change out the chuck with just about any size chuck you wanted.

yes good
Very impressive! Good job man!
what i would do is making a locking mechanism like a jack stand where it has a bunch of notches and theres a arm that locks into those notches
Need to add a grease zerk to the tail-stock barrel so you can lubricate the ram. Slides easier, and cuts down on the wear.
@ rather b welding love to weld and i would like to become a welding engineer watching all your videos help me out and just gives me props to becoming a welding engineer so thats why i was asking if you went to college for welding and what your job is that would be very helpful if you responded thank you and nice videos all the time. Love your projects 👍🏻👍🏻
you need to buy stock in 1/4x20 alley head bolts haha, you've used about 1000 of them on that lathe
😘👍👍👍
my friend nice nice work...did you tell wath is thr RPM to make a srew on lathe????
А как вставить вращающийся центр ?
good
Gracias maestro, usted puede vender los planos para comprarlos. Saludos desde Bogota, Colombia. Thank you teacher, you can sell the plans to buy them. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia
veri veri good
Маладца !
Wait, someone point me to where I can get a adjustable wrench like the one around 8:55. Am I seeing that right? it locks the jaw at a size?
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯

mACHINE BACKING PLATE so chuck fits in a grove to locate instead of just bolts
show!!
You need to use a boring bar
love it but the music rock music is way better like the second song
Whats the music? Like 7 minutes in?
Ur videos are better quality now, take a look at colin furze and take some of his filming ideas because he's very good at it
