Dig that Honkin’ Hunk of Steel you had laying around! As a beginner welder, I bought a 1/2” thick by 12” x 12” … for a welding surface.. It is HEAVY …. That puppy you got is a beast.! …. now I know why Locomotives weigh so much! Great Job & discovery! 👍😎👍
Great video. Love all the tips, details and explanations. Cutting material that thick with recip saw is going to rattle you real good!! And you're gonna go thru quite a few blades. Good luck and look forward to part 2 of fabricating the index wheel thing. Be safe and stay well.
Pizza at Matt's house!!! I use the same technique for finding a center. Learned that as an apprentice. So funny, I did a project this weekend making a clutch holding tool with 3 pins at 120 degrees, punched every point and basically a copy of your layout. I'd be lost without my dividers, scale and scriber!!! Another great video. Great catch on the missinf detail! Thanks Matt!!
I'll bet someone nearby with a small metalworking lathe could turn out that sprag gear for you. It would save you a lot of effort, but then we wouldn't be entertained as much. Getting close to the final product. Looking good.
Matt - Good catch on the missing star wheel. I should have caught that on your last video as I have the same star wheel on my Canedy-Otto. Nice layout work and best of luck on getting the wheel made.
You are pretty smart for a while boy. Looks like you will be open for business soon now.
Matt you lost me when you picked up your pencil! 🥴
😂👍I almost lost myself too. Thanks Vino!

Thanks Kev. I’m always on the hunt for scrap chunks like that
Hi Matt just stopped by to say HI, plus great video
Many thanks, and hi back!
Wish you had reached out to me, I would have been glad to have helped you out with that. Can't wait to see how it comes out
Well, it could still flop so I may be reaching out yet. Thanks Steve!

Thanks Brian. Stay tuned to see the results!

Two TH-camr machinist buddies have already offered. If this flops they can help me out
Great job Matt getting your pattern set . I bet it will work great
It’s going to be slow going, but it should work 🤞Thanks Lloyd!

Thanks Ron. I pinned your comment on the last video as it contains good info. I plan on mentioning you in the next video if that’s okay with you.
@@mattthescrapwhisperer Fine by me.
@@ronkluwe4875 👍
Talk about torture!! Lay out is looking great.
Ha! Next time I’ll use some Dykem so the viewers can see what I’m doing. Thanks Duke; hope your foot heals soon
Finominal work Matt, your Standard measuring drive me crazy, done that during apprentice day's but in an understanding way of measure....metric lol
I’m just the opposite with Metric 😂Thanks Jan!
Also, at 9:50 I thought I seen 👀Ed Gosselin’s Truck? … I know, I need a break. I’m starting to see things.👍😝👍…..
It was my truck. Mine’s better cause it’s a Dodge 😂Sorry Ed!
@@mattthescrapwhisperer 👍😝👍
Morning Matt ☕☕☕
Mornin Ed ☕️☕️🍩🍩👍
Wondering why you didn't smooth out your piece of metal and use dykem or magic marker for layout so you could see what you were doing?
Dykem would have been fine but I don't have any - yet! Shiny metal layout just doesn't show up well with my equipment.
that looks complicated and if you don't have any better luck with the sawzall than I do that's gonna be a big job.
I have a few shipyard tricks up my sleeve. Thanks Vernon!
You should have phoned a friend. I could knock that out for you easy peasy.
😂 Steve at Firehouse said the same thing. It may come to that if this flops. Thanks Tom!
@@mattthescrapwhisperer Alright. 👍
Can't believe you are not using a machinist rule to measure?
Well, 1/16" is a thousandths to a sheet metal worker 😂. But seriously, where it really counts I do have some precision measuring tools.
FIRST
You are indeed Joey!
