nice work, gentleman! finally we can see this little beast kicking. with a relocation and this little beast parallel doing at the same time, you already tell us what you are capable of. well done👍
I'm in agreement with AFreindlyMatamatian. You are far enough along in the learning process to start using closer tolerances when mounting work. The tighter you keep them the better the end results will be. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Hi, I have been following your projects for a long time and I have to admit that they are impatiently waiting for the final result of a good job. I am pleased
I was surprised to not yet see you yet shoving those aluminum repair rods from harbor freight into undersized hole ID's, flat surfaces, etc. and then refinishing to size
Stefan Gotteswinter made a neat chuck with T slot and two surface-mount semi vee blocks to clamp the work. ROFL, that shaper is magnificent :). Good work!
His next project should be a precision surface grinder done forgot the name of the channel but it's two brothers that have rebuilt a old lathe and built a surface grinder from scratch
G'day Cressel,,coming along nicely. I too with the Gingery milling machine project used a cordless drill to run it, it feels good to see your work come to life. The 10 thou not concentric sprocket / shaft should be ok for a slow speed application but look to better concentricity for high speed work, but hey it looks great, well done. Peter
My left brain ".015 runout is a little??" My Right brain "The man built a lathe and a shaper FROM SCRATCH - SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" My left brain slinks away, in shame. Great job, you're an inspiration to us all.
Yes, those are great tools. The spirit of Gingery seems to include the idea of increasing accuracy as you go. Why wouldn't you use your dial indicator to center up the pinion? 1/2 thou should have been easy to get. Don't get me wrong. Love the channel, will check out more.
It didn't seem so easy to get it better. At least not for me, at my skill level, on my amateur built lathe. I fused with it for 15 minutes before deciding it was good enough.
Regarding the house remodel are you continuing with that project?....or does it have a separate channel? Very exciting project to watch. Could you fill us in on the house remodel while making things on this channel...would be helpful to know if it’s still project. Thanks.
Excellent progress! Are you planning on making another concrete rolly-table for this build similar to the one you made for the lathe? I've had several of the Gingery books for a while and have wanted to get started... for that same while. Unfortunately, these kids running around the house like to eat and stuff.
+Hallofo I am planning on mounting it on the cart with the lathe. It will go near the opposite corner from the lathe. It may be shown on the cart in the lathe cart video.
MrPandaPlays i used a 90 degree 3 flute and it chatters like crazy. I have a 82 degree six flute (staggerex six) it chatters much less. Cutting fluid helps. Adding a piece of card stock between bit and work piece also seems to help some.
+Matthew Tinker not sure how that slipped through QA. I have scheduled a meeting with the team first thing tomorrow to ensure it doesn't happen again. ;)
+Thomas Moore not sure how that slipped through QA. I have scheduled a meeting with the team first thing tomorrow to ensure it doesn't happen again. ;)
Makercise I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help it. Seeing the project at this point, makes me think I could do it, too. Thinking about bringing it up with my cnc instructor

Wow! Can't wait to see your shaper make it's first chips, keep up the amazing work

I was just about to cheer when I saw it running but it's 4 in the morning here and every one else is asleep so I just subscribed.
Absolutely insane project
Hi, I have been following your projects for a long time and I have to admit that they are impatiently waiting for the final result of a good job. I am pleased
I have a Gingery Shaper out in my shop! Works very well.
ohhhhhhhhh so nice to see that working!!

Really cool, it's such an interesting mechanism
I am really impressed! I have read the book, but it lacks the real life touch brought in by the video.
His next project should be a precision surface grinder done forgot the name of the channel but it's two brothers that have rebuilt a old lathe and built a surface grinder from scratch
I enjoy watching your videos.
insAneTunA thanks
Great job so far!
Shaper's shaping up!

Pinion gear is for Rack/ Rack railway. You have sprocket for chain.
Looks good going to have to keep it lubed up pretty good!!!
Thanks. Agreed.
WOW... that was great :-) Thank you for sharing.

Nice Ginger
THERE ARE MANY CHAIN TOOLS AVAILABLE.
MY LAST BICYCLE CHAIN TOOL WAS ABOUT 2 POUNDS... AND COULD EASILY DO THAT CHAIN... AND BIGGER YET.
Take a shot every time he says thousandths

Someone somewhere is wondering why their box spring and mattress is now sitting on the floor

Got55mg you can get early access at makercise.com/signup
15 thou runout is huge....It means the Sprocket will run eccentric....Buy cheap 3 Jaw Chuck....
It looks like the left guide on the top of the ram is loose :)

Where did you get the sprockets?

Hey Amigo. So when are you going to be back in Tulsa so you can cut the key-ways in the capstans? :)
SV Seeker YES! How deep do the keyways need to be? My max stoke may limit them. I am hoping to wrap this up by Q2. How does the day after sound?
Oh right. You may need to build a bigger one. :) The key ways need to be 6 inches long.
Hey what countersink bit do you use/ recommend cause mine chatters to much
MrPandaPlays i used a 90 degree 3 flute and it chatters like crazy. I have a 82 degree six flute (staggerex six) it chatters much less. Cutting fluid helps. Adding a piece of card stock between bit and work piece also seems to help some.
Thanks so much!!! I haven't had much luck with countersink bits but this should help.
Single flute or flute less countersinks seem to be better for chatter, or better for having less chatter I should say
You should sell that machine to a porn production company.
10 to 15 thousands crazy tolerances. 1 thousand is too much for me
for instrument maker 0.0254 mm (0.001")is not even good enough for rough cut on some parts
Cant' help feel like it should be scaled up 2x.
Don't you mean micrometer you didn't show calipers anywhere!
+Matthew Tinker not sure how that slipped through QA. I have scheduled a meeting with the team first thing tomorrow to ensure it doesn't happen again. ;)
Micrometer, not caliper!

Your construction can be have a problem with the Force. I think you need a second Gear.
