Hey Max. Bravo! That was one hell of a trench you had to dig. Your new shop is sweet! I don't recommend moving a shop to anyone. It nearly killed me. All the best, Tom
81 😮 I just turned 63 & amazed at the level of activity your rocking💯👏👏👏 2 years ago I decided I wanted to learn how to operate a Desktop size Hobby Mill & Lathe (Both Sherline) & struggling through getting the basics achieved- I purchased every attachment they offer for both machines. I’m looking to use it for making small scale 1:25 Scale Auto Modeling parts. Any Tips or Suggestions on best place to start at my young age of 63😆 Luv all your TH-cam posts Mate….👍 Cheers ZenModeling
Was wondering when you'd post somrthing Max, expected you may have been busy with the new build fitting out. Had not expected you'd got so much progress. Can;'t have too many machines and ther is never enough room for the supplimentary tooling one absolutely must have. Crack on Max, good to see so much progress.
That was a very interesting update, Max. Thanks for posting. And all these electric cabes must have cost you a fortune... BTW, that panoramic overview of the shop was nice. It gives a good idea of the whole setup.
G'day Max, moving shops worse than getting divorced ffs lol, fair play to you mate, new shops looking amazing, love seeing the property, dad's old lathe really is a treasure, and just think, all that room in the old shop be great for bikes 👍
Cheers Max, good bit of progress going on, most machinists build their workshop near their house, you do it the other way round. Plenty of interesting things ahead, I'm looking forward too see it coming along. Greetings Chris.
Wheelbarrow axles wow, great story. I'm almost a qualified wheelbarrow mechanic. That's some trench you've dug there, Max. Your old shops tiny. Glad you're finally moving in. Cheers Tony
It's great to have you back. I completely understand the delay. I have nightmares about the pain of moving. I have been in this house for almost 30 years.
@@swanvalleymachineshop Hey Max, lots going on at the workshop.. and good progress on the BPs no match to what you are doing over there ! love it ! im determined to have a video soonll Cheers !
Scary stuff ! There is old power & water bore pipes all over the place on the property . Every time you dig a hole with the tractor , you are sure to hit one ! 👍
Talking about Tractors, sent my trades assistant out with the Tractor with drilling attachment off PTO to drill hole for earth rod for one of our crude oli storage tanks. Had the permit to drill in the marked location. He came back to the workshop and said there was a growling noise coming out of the hole when drilling. He had drilled into the 66kV pilot cable which was not shown on the drawings, installed in 1955 when they built the refinery! Luckily he was not injured or worse.
Damn Max- that great big shop that you built is getting really small! I’ve heard that Jarra is quite the solid, pretty wood. Can’t find your species here, or if you, it’s astronomical in price….this move has been quite the exercise, glad to see you moving forward.
Well, at age 81 I cannot even imagine moving my bedroom, much less a shop full of machines! What a mammoth undertaking. Thanks for letting us take a look at just a small portion of all the work you have done. BTW, I really like those morse-taper quick change chucks! They will certainly come in handy. Best wishes and congratulations on your beautiful new shop.
Gday Max. Great to see you’re back. Big shed is getting full now mate. Oh, I like those geometric die heads. Can't have enough of them. PS: remember the old saying, "he who dies with the most tools wins". I think you've beaten us all mate LOL
Well done Max, that looks like graft in those temperatures! Alfred Herbert quick change chucks took me back, I used to use these on an old Asquith Radial Arm Drill back in the early 90's. Keep pushing on mate, nearly there now. Cheers, Jon
Shop looks amazing 👍👍 love the organization and all the great looking equipment. Can't believe you dug all that trench with that old backhoe nice work as always cheers Max!!
Nice trip through some Aussie soil there Max, looks quite sandy and a bugger to dig I'd imagine. Personally I would not garden where there is a chance of a snake attack, so credit to your wife! lol. You can't wait for winter, I can't wait for summer, we both have to wait
Thanks . Certainly looking fwd to cooler temps , even though we did not get the string of 40 + deg C temps we normally get in summer . Starting Autumn now , the best time of year mid 20's . 👍
I stuck around,..enjoyed and impressed by the enormous amount of work/progress, the new shop is fantastic ….now how do I fit a hammock in my shop!!!!, great video. KOKO
If I were to make a full comment, it would be too long. Let me just say, I'm so glad for your progress. Nearing 10,000 subs, but it should be more like 100,000. I am a carpenter, but I know a good Machinist when I see one, you are it Max Love your content. I still miss the chickens, poo & all.
We can never get enough of you Max!! I know what you mean about the dearth of tooling in Australia.! I always salivate when I see what the US guys get their hands on, and if you think things are scarce in WA, come over to SA - there's sweet FA here. I hate sending my hard earned to China but with local prices being what they are Chinesium has a certain attraction. Keep up the great work and videos mate, always a pleasure to dial in to catch your next episode.
Man you have been busy, haven’t you! Like the energiser bunny.😂 Lots of progress in many areas. It will all come together eventually. Trenches are epic. Couple more machines to move & you’ve probably just about got it sorted. Having power sorted will be a big relief - can’t imagine what the sparky bill will be like? 😳😳 Rome wasn’t built in a day. Good steady progress. Just about need to concrete the two veranda areas & enclose the sides with roll down canvas blinds or something to give you much more outside storage space to free up room inside. Old backhoe hopefully can dig all your septics to connect up the thunder box and the new house plumbing next.👍 Never say die Max, you will get there in the end. As always, sing out if your stuck & need a hand with anything.👍👍👍🇦🇺
@@swanvalleymachineshop Indeed. I had to hire a plumber recently & Im still bleeding from the gills! 😳😳😂 It will be good to have power, you won’t know yourself. 👍👍
I thought you'd been off filming for Tourism Australia 🇦🇺 🤔 🤪😂. Did you find any money under the machines 🤔. Definitely an epic job Max, great family history on the South Bend lathe. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the opening ceremony 😀 Best regards from the UK 🇬🇧. John.
I finished my last shop move a couple years ago -- quite a relief, but with the realization that it's never completely over. There will always be machines to be moved; machines to come in and go out , with lighting and power to be rearranged . Best of luck to you with the new shop !
That's a lot of trenching Max. I did about 200 feet at my shop to change over to 3 phase and thought that was a lot. Seems rather short now. I used to work with a guy from Australia about 20 years ago and he said you can get 3 phase power at residential locations. We can't and therefore I've had to use phase converters in the past. Fortunately I'm now in an industrial park and have 3 phase. My service is 347/600 volt, 200 amp and it is stepped down (by my own transformer) to 120/208 volt for most of the shop. Nearly every machine in Canada is 208, 220/440 dual voltage, 550 or 600 volt. With my set up I can run any of them. I think you're going to really like your new electrical service. Ken
Hi Ken . It was good to have my old backhoe to do the digging . It is good not to have to muck around with phase convertors to get proper power . Cheers 👍
What a milestone "POWER IN THE SHOP". That is a hell of a trench you dug. I wish I laid in an airline when I dug my trench to the barn. Just for pumping up a tire or blowing out air filters. I think you should get a drone to take video in the shop. That was good from the step ladder. Take care Max keep up the progress.
No way will i build a house , i am no brickie or chippie ! The building company will do that ! I would end up playing Oranges & Lemons in some nut house if i took that on !!! 👍👍👍
Well done Max great to see the new progress on the shop. Amazing what you can do on your own if you think about it. Thanks for all the videos please keep them coming !!
Amigo Max e tenido trabajo hasta ahora me apareció un nuevo video detú taller me gusta que todo esté saliendo bien y qué tengas electricidad pronto yo aún ahorro para mí torno y espero algún día decirte amigo Max Dios cumplió mi Sueño te enviaré un vídeo o unas fotos unas de las cosas que veo tus vídeos es porque me permiten seguir luchando por lo que quiero tu me Inspira en seguir adelante ya que estoy solo en este esfuerzo Dios te Bendiga amigo MAX🙏
Isnt it frustrating squeezing between benches and machines just to move about. I just love all the space in a new shop layout. The worst of all is the new shop will end up just as bad in no time. Back to square one. What is the answer ? Stop accumulating and start weeding out stuff you don't use ? " yeah but I might need it someday and then I will regret selling" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈 Enjoy your new shop Max .. while you can.
G'day Max.. great video, going through the trenches like in a movie lol Excellent review of what you have achieved so far. Like Story Book Land A Never Ending Story. Lol You'll have to number the machines throw them into a hat & draw out which ones to work on next . Lol Great looking shop. Good on Ya
Lol , i always bitch about the heat , then the rain ! Some of those large sections of steel in my scrap pile are going to be used to make the vice you sent the details of . Cheers Doug . 👍
Good to see ya mate. As shown ya been work’s your arse off over there in the west. Won’t know ya self when the workshops up n runnin. Have a good one, and we’ll see ya on the next video 👍🇦🇺
I like that you persuaded your wife to build the shop before the house. 😊 That was quite a trench there. Could you gone overhead with the power cables or are you required to bury them? I went over head for mine because it was free. The power company was going to charge me if I wanted them buried.
Hi Tom . Lol , the Wife is still working on the house design ! We could have gone overhead with the power , but in the ground was the easy option . Don't have to worry about tree branches falling on them . Doing the trenches myself was a big cost saver . Hope your recovery is progressing well . Cheers . 👍
Holy cow Max, you've been busy! She's filling up fast.. I was really interested in your electrical feed...It's quit a bit different than ours. It sound like you have a 415V main service (3-phase) "Y" configured with a neutral so any leg to neutral gives you 220v single phase..My best guess. Are you also 50 Hz ? That makes for a nice balance between wire size and obtaining the lower voltages.. I like the Smoko / Skull area "mandatory" Cheers.....Dean
Hi Dean . 415 v 50 Hz 32amps per phase . Not sure how it is worked out , but with 32 amps per phase you get a lot more than just 96 amps . I think the maximum is 250 amps before you have to go to a commercial supply . I should be ok as i know a couple of shops only have half the power that i have available . 👍
Nice scrap pile. Heavy thick plate never lasts long here. It does not take long to cut chunks out of it to make something. It looks as though you are making great progress Max. Moving is horrible.
The old machines like that old backo are heaps better than the crap they make these days.. we've got a 60hp case tractor with a front bucket that's only a few years old and the front bearings have collapsed again, they have 2 crown wheels with a pinion at the bottom so they can get a tighter turning circle and as soon as anything gets even slightly loose it loses all clearance in the gears and chews the crap out of them.. they put an upgrade kit in under warranty (tapered roller bearing instead of a roller bearing) and the end float on the tapered roller bearing is set with cheese grade shims that spit themselves out because the tapered roller bearing has a 0.005" to 0.010" clearance at a guess slip fit which walks the shims out.. we're currently fighting with case to fix it as it really should have been a recall with how many have failed and as soon as it's fixed it's going up for sale, it's just not worth spending thousands of bucks every couple of years to fix what never should have left the drawing board.. we got a new machine so we didn't have to keep fixing the 50+ year old machines we had but the new machine has needed way more repairs in the few years than the old stuff has needed in the last couple of decades
One day i would like to give the tractor a birthday , but can not afford to have it down for a couple of years yet . I just go steady steady with it ! 👍
Hey Max. Bravo! That was one hell of a trench you had to dig. Your new shop is sweet! I don't recommend moving a shop to anyone. It nearly killed me.
All the best,
Tom
Thanks Tom . Yes it's a long hard road , as we both know ! Starting with an existing building would not always be easy either . 👍
Where has Max been? He has been in Max's land, a good place to be,no doubt.
Max land ! 👍👍👍
Glad to see you again and without the yapping noise from your neighbors vermin in the back round. Cheers
Lol , yes it's good without that thing ! 👍
And the best Oscar for cinematography goes to..... Max, for his epic depiction of the Somme trenches ( minus the carnage).
Straightest trench I've seen in a long time.
🤣🤣🤣
It was my first !!! 👍
Good to see you back Max,and great shop update!
Thanks 👍
you've come a long way Max
That's what happens when you put some direction into your future ! Thanks . 👍

Hi Max, like the 1950 cables buried direct without conduit, the good old days.

Looks like fun, lot of digging. wow! Hope to see your updates. enjoy
Thanks 👍
Looking good
Thanks . 👍
A big job. While Tom Lipton was moving his shop, he dropped out of sight for a few months too.
That is what i should have done some time ago ! Cheers .👍
Holy cow Max, you've been busy! She's filling up fast.. I was really interested in your electrical feed...It's quit a bit different than ours. It sound like you have a 415V main service (3-phase) "Y" configured with a neutral so any leg to neutral gives you 220v single phase..My best guess. Are you also 50 Hz ?
That makes for a nice balance between wire size and obtaining the lower voltages..
I like the Smoko / Skull area "mandatory"
Cheers.....Dean
I am no sparky but in Land Down Under our single phase is 240 volts at 50Hz. As you mentioned our 3 phase is 415V.
Hi Dean . 415 v 50 Hz 32amps per phase . Not sure how it is worked out , but with 32 amps per phase you get a lot more than just 96 amps . I think the maximum is 250 amps before you have to go to a commercial supply . I should be ok as i know a couple of shops only have half the power that i have available . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop Yeah that's plenty of power...should be awesome !
Never enough.
Cheers Rob . 👍
Lots of work! Looking good!
Thanks 👍
Had your ring hanging out!! Wondered where you'd got to and if everything was ok.
All good on the workshop front ! 👍
I love it. Nuff Said.
Cheers . 👍
Nice scrap pile. Heavy thick plate never lasts long here. It does not take long to cut chunks out of it to make something. It looks as though you are making great progress Max. Moving is horrible.
Thanks . I might look out for a creeper cutter later on , makes it easier to cut the thick plate . Your right , moving is a pain ! Cheers . 👍
Shop is looking great!! What are the dimensions of the shop Max? Very nice space you got there!
10m wide x 20m long . 200 sq meters with a 320 sq metre roof area . 👍
Those snake buzzers don't work... Well... supposedly... Good luck 🤞
I would not rely on them ! 👍
The old machines like that old backo are heaps better than the crap they make these days.. we've got a 60hp case tractor with a front bucket that's only a few years old and the front bearings have collapsed again, they have 2 crown wheels with a pinion at the bottom so they can get a tighter turning circle and as soon as anything gets even slightly loose it loses all clearance in the gears and chews the crap out of them.. they put an upgrade kit in under warranty (tapered roller bearing instead of a roller bearing) and the end float on the tapered roller bearing is set with cheese grade shims that spit themselves out because the tapered roller bearing has a 0.005" to 0.010" clearance at a guess slip fit which walks the shims out.. we're currently fighting with case to fix it as it really should have been a recall with how many have failed and as soon as it's fixed it's going up for sale, it's just not worth spending thousands of bucks every couple of years to fix what never should have left the drawing board.. we got a new machine so we didn't have to keep fixing the 50+ year old machines we had but the new machine has needed way more repairs in the few years than the old stuff has needed in the last couple of decades
One day i would like to give the tractor a birthday , but can not afford to have it down for a couple of years yet . I just go steady steady with it ! 👍
Hi max coming over mid May. How can I catch up . Have you a new contract ?
