My blacksmithing teacher in high school had us make a (simpler) Möbius cube. The operations were all really simple (just lots of bends in square stock and a butt-weld at the end), but everyone scrapped at least five or six attempts from overheating and embrittlement. It was definitely one of those, "How did she make it look so easy?" teaching moments.

Had an Electrical (lighting) contract work at Lockheed Martin. There was a display shelve/case outside one of there Machinist "rooms", that displayed all sorts of "do nothing" parts (about the size of the piece in this video) that demonstrated & show off their operators' craftsmanship. Some of those piece were absolutely mind boggling from a metal working stand point. Very skilled!
Yes, that sounds familiar. When I was working at the Philips Research laboratory ("NatLab") in Eindhoven, around 1990, the machine shop craftsmen had a repertoire of artefacts that were given to retirees and other colleagues that were leaving us. They resembled important parts that we had been researching for years and were therefore iconic to us all, but had no practical use whatsoever. The milling craftsmanship that spoke out of those artefacts was amazing.
He's lucky... I looked like my Grandpa at age 21...he and I were both Iron Grey... My Dad was Pure White at age 18... Needles to say, the men in my Paternal Family Line don't tend to get Carded even when we really should be... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
These days, many TH-camrs try out a few thumbnails over the first few hours/days and they see which one give the most new viewers, so it's kinda likely the thumbnail will change soon enough
Please keep the candid interactions! They are something refreshing and something a lot of viewers need to see. Healthy adults, who love each other, and more importantly, like each other. Thank you and never change!
This is one that tests your all-around skills as a machinist, and you did good. You might consider adding a few pounds of low melting point alloy metals to stiffen work like this to prevent distortion from clamping pressure. This alloy is also good for making chucks and fixtures for gripping irregular-shaped work and preventing thin-wall tubes from deforming from tool or steady rest pressure. One alloy, Cerrosafe, melts at about 175 degrees F and has very well-defined shrinkage and expansion over time, which lends it to measuring blind holes, gun chambers, threaded holes, etc.
@@InheritanceMachiningHave you ever considered turning it into a consumer product? You could probably cast then finish machine most of it. I bet it would sell well to hobbyists, or even professional job shops.
Indeed, it looks great and works so well. Seeing how useful its proven as well I've been contemplating my own version (though much more modest sized and mounted vertically as it would then be useable on my small lathe - but no rush on that, got so many other problems to solve first and quite likely a slightly larger lathe to add to the collection (mine in a tiny benchtop watchmakers lathe))
What?? A Mobius cube??! It's crazy, and I didn't really believe it until you traced it around face by face. Another weird and wonderful video: thanks for doing what you do exactly the way you do it!
@@InheritanceMachining You should post the full length tracing without speeding it up. I doubt too many people would watch, but it would prove to any who suspect camera tricks and you already have the footage right? Free content!
This guy prolly failed geometry. The faces may line up eventually. But theres clearly 4 edges. This isn’t a mobius anything. It’s an art project. It is a long twisty rectangular prism
@@stankbonkman "Clearly" one face can't have four edges. I think there's one, but it definitely can't be more than two. Proof: Imagine following that line, but painting the edge to the left of the line red and the edge to the right blue. After you go around four times, all the edges will be painted. In fact, they will be painted twice, since they have the line on both sides. So, you'll end up with either two edges (one painted red twice, the other painted blue twice) or just one (painted once red and once blue). Edit: looking at the video, it looks like every time the line loops around, it's going in the same direction, which suggests that there's only one edge.
You should run that thing in one of those tumbler machines, with small steel balls in it. It would round over all edges, and leave a uniform sexy finish on the entire piece..
Ok, we all dislike ads for the most part, but your approach here, with your wife, was good, light hearted fun, with a sponsors product. Nice! And great video too!
I'd be willing to suspect that the mode, mean and median are 6 with a standard deviation approaching 0 -- but for the cases where that isn't the case, I would definitely want to watch that video.
What would be amazing is a brass line inlay on all the faces showing that there are no crossed lines. I know it's not feasible but it would look incredible.
Well, if a mill can touch it, then he'll break at least 10 skinny, long bits in the process of trenching it out. 4 colors would be cool, as you wouldn't see the same 2 touch twice. Copper, brass, etc.

It's fantastic! I can only imagine the thoughts in your mind and the speed when doing the drawings, knowing you'll be the one machining it. Your work, passion, and especially your attention to detail is truly admirable! Love all your work !
The simple test for a Mobius is to run around the entire piece without lifting the lead and end up at the beginning. Very cool piece, thank you! Rounding the outside corners made it look much more professional. Great piece of work!

@@InheritanceMachining "Paper weight"! "Pencil holder"! "Springy thingy"! "Tooth brush holder"! Though would need to be made of stainless steel. But not "useless", "unless"?
Thank you for making content. Also, Have you ever considered a "Side-project extravaganza"? A Clip-show, if you will, of just your side projects back to back? I'd watch that so hard...
Even though I’m no machinist and have no idea how or what you are doing most of the time, I find these videos to be intriguing and have been binge watching them for weeks now. I don’t have the aptitude for this type of precision work, but find it very interesting to watch.
1:40 For the curious of how it is one-sided, it's that "small change" that introduces the pseudo-twist to make it a mobius thing, so it's quite a vital change!
Thank you for making the model available! While watching, I agreed the steel is the best version, but wanted one myself and thought printing it would be fun!
Lol .. as soon as you mentioned the Henson Razor, I was already anticipating the reaction from your wonderful wife ... Kinda knew she wasn't going to like it but the reaction is always great to witness (off camera). Love your videos ... personally very cathartic for me. Cheers!!!!
What could have really helped for not breaking the long endmills is plunge milling: instead of milling sideways with the full width you just step over along the path and plunge the endmill like a drill to final depth. Afterwards you just go straight to even out the surface, but most of the material will be gone by this point. The thing is that endmills have much more rigidity in the axial direction than radial, so this works pretty well for narrow deep channels.
This one was definitely a head scratcher. I challenge you to make one of these out of brass so it fits not inside the steel one, but along side the steel one, if that makes sense. Start combining both of them at a corner, then twist and turn each one so that they are together, one steel band is right next to a brass band. Obviously, you would have to change the design to get them to align to each other, but it would be something if you pulled it off. This one was cool! Took a lot of work and planning ahead. Good job machining this!
Side project recommendation: stone tumbler! This would look great sent through a stone finish (with small enough media) and then black oxide finished! On the plus side, it would only require way more work making a tumbler than hand sanding the inside face (err, not inside single face) and that's way easier if you don't think about it..
I have been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now and have not commented yet. I would like to say your grandfather should be proud of you if you were my grandson I would be very proud of you I have been a journeyman machinists for 35 years, I was told along time ago by the journeyman that taught me is the difference between a machinist and a good machinist is that the good machinist can hide his mistakes and nobody would ever know especially the boss and the inspection department. I very much like your content, and you share the same sense of humor of almost every great machinist I have ever worked with. I am looking forward to more great videos from you , very best regards, Basbh1
Fantastic Job, Brandon👍 This deserves to be on permanent display in an abstract art gallery. Or..better still, as a mandatory shop project for first year apprentice machinists🤣🤣🤣👍
You could make like a 100 of those now that you have it figured out, put a heafty price on em, and make bank. I can almost guarantee they would sell decently fast.
I have always found putting the wire between the moving jaw and the unmachined face a bit of a juggling act. Today I learned that you can put an L in it and use it vertically, instead of horizontally.
I've occasionally used a piece of hard wood like oak. In a pinch I sawed up bits of some pallet to act as a soft jaw. it conforms to the part and increases the pressure you can put, also absorbs vibration. Just have to be careful and snug up the vice again after the first pass.
That was my thought as well, superglue in some metal chunks of the right thickness (around .3") and then knock them out/heat them out and treat with acetone to remove any left over CA glue!
Or just freeze the whole thing in a block of fixturing alloy. The normal mixture melts at 158F, so you can just melt it out in boiling water. I've never actually seen the stuff used in the wild, but if there was ever a project that called out for its use, THIS is it.
I would have never guessed you're going to create this thing without CNC work. As for the flexing, I've seen some projects use LOTS of hot glue to fill all the empty parts before making additional cuts. You can later desolve all the hot glue away with boiling hot water and/or acetone.
Be interested to see if there is some kind of clay/polymer you could pack into similarly flexible parts and fire/chemically set to provide support. Then maybe chip out/bake off when done? I was thinking of casting sand, but that would definitely wreck your tooling. Either way, interesting project and challenge, and I love to see your weirder ideas
Thank You So much for not adding your name to the Long list of creators on YT that make me feel bad about making ugly (but sturdy) welds. I mean, just about everyone who has a welding setup also has an angle grinder or at least files, you don't have to make fun of how my welds look before finishing Don!
He could get away with ugly welds for two reasons: none of them were structural (needed to hold things together), and he was milling over them anyway so the finished product viewers would never see how ugly the welds were originally. Most TH-camrs aren’t in the same situation with their welding.
Interesting shape, and cool vid. Thanks for posting the drawing. The challenge for 3D printing this part is that it will require supports, but for a well tuned printer it isn't too bad. Thanks!
This was by far the most stressfull thing you've put out here! 😂 Your videos are my ASMR, but since it was so many cuts that could have gone wrong and messed up the whole project I was on edge the whole time. Even though I saw the finished piece in the thumbnail. I get those creative itches sometimes myself, but in other materials, and know how frustrating it can be after having to start over when almost at the end. But I loved the video and result!
this is impressive. I come from the 3d printing side and understand, that 3d printers have a rather easy time (depending on support), but doing this with CNC? mad respect.
Every now and then you have to do something just for the heck of it. Very cool. As someone else said, tumbling it would probably make it look real nice.
The best ideas are ones you have two steps after it would have been possible to implement them. Rounding the corners first before cutting out all support from the insides is one of those.
Amazing work 👏 👌 my head hurts just looking at the finished project ,the brain is just mush 🤕🤯 a true genius,and the miss what she had to say about your new look priceless 😅😅😅😅
I paused the video at ~3:00 to thank you for using the word "cubular." I've been using that word, as well as "roundular" for several years and I always get funny looks. I can't put into words how happy it made me to hear another human use it in a real situation. Thank you. Now, back to the show :)
You should get a endmill with a short flute length (maybe 1 or 2 times D) and reduced shank diameter for clearance and maximum rigidity in deep pockets. Game changer!
One of methods to resolve "springiness problem" is milling with wax-filling. Wax-filling method is using in our metalworking shop for milling custom radiators out of basic ribbed or pointed/columned radiator templates/profiles.
Hey! Love your videos, and love how this project came out. A suggestion for your tooling woes, I'd look into making sure you're calculating chip load correctly for your rpms/feeds. The longer the edge that your endmill is engaging, the more chipload you're taking on. You might not be spinning fast enough to handle that chipload for the longer edges! (Which is why that one endmill magically exploded in the first hogging operation). That's another benefit of rough-cut endmills as well; they typically can handle higher chiploads for any given operation.
Fantastic job, I love making shop tools myself and always enjoy your projects and video presentation, id certainly think twice about making one of these the possibility for human error is high , but it came out fantastic ..and as others have said the clever shave ads and wife reactions are always a hoot, we happliy watch those because you and your wife have such a wonderful dynamic..we want to hear her somtimes brutally honest reactions .. we are bombarded with ads on all media far too much so , and I skip and tune out on most.

Well it's certainly one of the most useless 😆 thanks!

"Paper weight"!
"Pencil holder"!
"Springy thingy"!
"Tooth brush holder"! Though would need to be made of stainless steel.
But not "useless", "unless"?
Thank you for making content. Also, Have you ever considered a "Side-project extravaganza"? A Clip-show, if you will, of just your side projects back to back? I'd watch that so hard...
Brandon - what a fantastic project, and my hat is off to you for finishing it to such a high standard!
Thanks, Ron!
Even though I’m no machinist and have no idea how or what you are doing most of the time, I find these videos to be intriguing and have been binge watching them for weeks now.
I don’t have the aptitude for this type of precision work, but find it very interesting to watch.
1:40 For the curious of how it is one-sided, it's that "small change" that introduces the pseudo-twist to make it a mobius thing, so it's quite a vital change!
thanks! I was wondering why he changed that
Thank you for making the model available! While watching, I agreed the steel is the best version, but wanted one myself and thought printing it would be fun!
It's certainly a lot faster 😂 I envy you!
Lol .. as soon as you mentioned the Henson Razor, I was already anticipating the reaction from your wonderful wife ... Kinda knew she wasn't going to like it but the reaction is always great to witness (off camera). Love your videos ... personally very cathartic for me. Cheers!!!!
Ah yes, the perfect shape if I ever enter a fight against a priest with the power to control gravity.
What could have really helped for not breaking the long endmills is plunge milling: instead of milling sideways with the full width you just step over along the path and plunge the endmill like a drill to final depth. Afterwards you just go straight to even out the surface, but most of the material will be gone by this point. The thing is that endmills have much more rigidity in the axial direction than radial, so this works pretty well for narrow deep channels.
Will be 3dprinting your model with the boys tomorrow. Have a good weekend
This one was definitely a head scratcher. I challenge you to make one of these out of brass so it fits not inside the steel one, but along side the steel one, if that makes sense. Start combining both of them at a corner, then twist and turn each one so that they are together, one steel band is right next to a brass band. Obviously, you would have to change the design to get them to align to each other, but it would be something if you pulled it off.
This one was cool! Took a lot of work and planning ahead. Good job machining this!
"Not the 'stache again" 🤣🤣🤣 I'm rarely amused by sponsored sections, but this genuinely had me giggling. Well done once again, Brandon.
This was a lot of fun to watch, and thank you for showing that a single line must make 4 laps to return to the starting line.
the fact that you didnt use a 5 axis or whatever the biggest is nowadays genuinely makes it all the better
I came across your channel a few months ago, it sucks waiting for uploads but the quality and heart that you put in makes it worth it. Thank you 🙌
Well I appreciate you hanging around patiently 😁 thanks!
It was a great time watching you make those bolts with the fancy new tools.
😁 gotta make every excuse to use the tools I've made!
Side project recommendation: stone tumbler!
This would look great sent through a stone finish (with small enough media) and then black oxide finished! On the plus side, it would only require way more work making a tumbler than hand sanding the inside face (err, not inside single face) and that's way easier if you don't think about it..
I’m definitely machining this now. It’ll be a lot easier on a CNC but it’ll still be a lot of fun!
I have been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now and have not commented yet. I would like to say your grandfather should be proud of you if you were my grandson I would be very proud of you I have been a journeyman machinists for 35 years, I was told along time ago by the journeyman that taught me is the difference between a machinist and a good machinist is that the good machinist can hide his mistakes and nobody would ever know especially the boss and the inspection department. I very much like your content, and you share the same sense of humor of almost every great machinist I have ever worked with. I am looking forward to more great videos from you , very best regards, Basbh1
That is very kid of you to say. Thank you so much!
Fantastic Job, Brandon👍
This deserves to be on permanent display in an abstract art gallery.
Or..better still, as a mandatory shop project for first year apprentice machinists🤣🤣🤣👍
But the end mill budget
😂 All I'm saying is I wouldnt want to have to make this for a grade!! Thanks!
@@InheritanceMachining Be funny to see how many could actually pass, if this was a first year final project to go through to 2nd year👍🤣
He made a mcguffin for the next super hero movie.
You could make like a 100 of those now that you have it figured out, put a heafty price on em, and make bank. I can almost guarantee they would sell decently fast.
They'd have to be priced in the thousands of USD for it to be worth it I'm sure
I wanted to buy one until you said that
This is one of the coolest metal machined sculptures I’ve seen!
I have always found putting the wire between the moving jaw and the unmachined face a bit of a juggling act.
Today I learned that you can put an L in it and use it vertically, instead of horizontally.
I've occasionally used a piece of hard wood like oak. In a pinch I sawed up bits of some pallet to act as a soft jaw. it conforms to the part and increases the pressure you can put, also absorbs vibration. Just have to be careful and snug up the vice again after the first pass.
I don't know about the soul patch, but the mustache gives me Freddie Mercury vibes.
There is a bit of resemblance …
Actually kinda giving Jean Dujardin in the OSS117 movies.
"j'adore usiner l'acier"
Need to add sacrificial spacers between gaps while cutting it in its “spring” state
I was just going through the comments to see if this has been mentioned.
That was my thought as well, superglue in some metal chunks of the right thickness (around .3") and then knock them out/heat them out and treat with acetone to remove any left over CA glue!
That's a great idea!
Chris at Clickspring is a big fan of the ca glue.
Or just freeze the whole thing in a block of fixturing alloy. The normal mixture melts at 158F, so you can just melt it out in boiling water. I've never actually seen the stuff used in the wild, but if there was ever a project that called out for its use, THIS is it.
20:13 Finally using a pin to reference the rotary table, I kept wondering when you'd figure that out.
I got tired of running the table up and down to fit the co-ax in there 😆
The mobius cube is awesome! You are such a skilled Machinist, i love your videos!
I would have never guessed you're going to create this thing without CNC work. As for the flexing, I've seen some projects use LOTS of hot glue to fill all the empty parts before making additional cuts. You can later desolve all the hot glue away with boiling hot water and/or acetone.
Hon wake up, new Inheritance Machining video just dropped!
Woah fancy smancy stuff👍
Always happy to see what you are cooking up!
Thanks!
Be interested to see if there is some kind of clay/polymer you could pack into similarly flexible parts and fire/chemically set to provide support. Then maybe chip out/bake off when done? I was thinking of casting sand, but that would definitely wreck your tooling.
Either way, interesting project and challenge, and I love to see your weirder ideas
They used to use babit metal, lead, and fixturing aloy for this. The latter can be melted in boiling water
Finally had time to sit down and watch this one. Props for pulling it off, fun video 🙂
Thanks, Ben!
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
The best part of this video was when he said 'IT'S MOBIN' TIME' and Mobiused all over those guys.
Thank You So much for not adding your name to the Long list of creators on YT that make me feel bad about making ugly (but sturdy) welds. I mean, just about everyone who has a welding setup also has an angle grinder or at least files, you don't have to make fun of how my welds look before finishing Don!
He could get away with ugly welds for two reasons: none of them were structural (needed to hold things together), and he was milling over them anyway so the finished product viewers would never see how ugly the welds were originally.
Most TH-camrs aren’t in the same situation with their welding.
Interesting shape, and cool vid. Thanks for posting the drawing. The challenge for 3D printing this part is that it will require supports, but for a well tuned printer it isn't too bad. Thanks!
That's what I'm assuming is needed as well (never 3D printed anything in my life). Happy to share. Thanks for the support!
This was by far the most stressfull thing you've put out here! 😂 Your videos are my ASMR, but since it was so many cuts that could have gone wrong and messed up the whole project I was on edge the whole time. Even though I saw the finished piece in the thumbnail. I get those creative itches sometimes myself, but in other materials, and know how frustrating it can be after having to start over when almost at the end. But I loved the video and result!
You and I were both on edge haha Im just glad i was able to save it. Twice! Thanks
8:27 - "That makes me dumb." ergo, she loves it!
your wife is wrong - the shave look really good
I imagine this guy making a bowl of cereal. "Does this bowl have exactly 125 mL of milk?"
this is impressive. I come from the 3d printing side and understand, that 3d printers have a rather easy time (depending on support), but doing this with CNC? mad respect.
I love it, awesome work!
3:00 cubicularitized
0:43 THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can get much higher
@@akahelpwttubersSo high
But but.... it was in the thumbnail... and the title...
Every now and then you have to do something just for the heck of it. Very cool. As someone else said, tumbling it would probably make it look real nice.
The best ideas are ones you have two steps after it would have been possible to implement them.
Rounding the corners first before cutting out all support from the insides is one of those.

We're cooked
@@CalzoneSamosa indeed my friend indeed
Amazing work 👏 👌 my head hurts just looking at the finished project ,the brain is just mush 🤕🤯 a true genius,and the miss what she had to say about your new look priceless 😅😅😅😅
😂 my brain was pretty mushy by the end of this as well! Thanks
I paused the video at ~3:00 to thank you for using the word "cubular." I've been using that word, as well as "roundular" for several years and I always get funny looks. I can't put into words how happy it made me to hear another human use it in a real situation. Thank you. Now, back to the show :)
i was thinking about this shape like 2 months ago, but i never bothered to see if anyone had done it. this is so neat! thank you
So much patience, determination and ingenuity, congrats!
Shout out to Henson for such a good razor. I love mine . Have had it for a year, and it's still going strong!
That has got to be one of the coolest looking paperweights i have ever seen!
You should sandblast or tumb.le it, it would give it a nice satin finish that hides imperfections, and it would finish the inside as well
I do know someone with a tumbler 🤔
You should get a endmill with a short flute length (maybe 1 or 2 times D) and reduced shank diameter for clearance and maximum rigidity in deep pockets. Game changer!
One of methods to resolve "springiness problem" is milling with wax-filling. Wax-filling method is using in our metalworking shop for milling custom radiators out of basic ribbed or pointed/columned radiator templates/profiles.
Him: I want that Freddie Mercury cut
Henson Razors: say no more
Kudos to the honesty at the end.
I had my doubts, but your definition makes enough sense that I'll accept it
Hey! Love your videos, and love how this project came out.
A suggestion for your tooling woes, I'd look into making sure you're calculating chip load correctly for your rpms/feeds. The longer the edge that your endmill is engaging, the more chipload you're taking on. You might not be spinning fast enough to handle that chipload for the longer edges! (Which is why that one endmill magically exploded in the first hogging operation). That's another benefit of rough-cut endmills as well; they typically can handle higher chiploads for any given operation.
Fantastic job, I love making shop tools myself and always enjoy your projects and video presentation, id certainly think twice about making one of these the possibility for human error is high , but it came out fantastic ..and as others have said the clever shave ads and wife reactions are always a hoot, we happliy watch those because you and your wife have such a wonderful dynamic..we want to hear her somtimes brutally honest reactions .. we are bombarded with ads on all media far too much so , and I skip and tune out on most.
