George, You never cease to amaze me with your videos, and your creative and engineering of the many projects you take on. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us.
I am from China Seals Factory. Our company produces many types of hydraulic oil seals. If you are interested in our products, we can send you free samples so that you can learn more about our products.
More like metal lathe so we can make the god damn parts showed on the video... Something that is cheap to build DIY, common cheap parts and has precision good enough for such projects..
Hellsong89 as some one who uses Hardinge and wacheon lathes daily, I will be very very impressed if he manages to create a proper lathe out of easy to make parts that can hold and repeatedly even 3 thousands of an inch accuracy

Great videos. Any chance in the future, maybe a quick time stamp for each component for reference? For instance after you cut the threads, a quick (5:17) to show how long it actually took? Just a thought!

Well that is easy, but it will be more like testing its breaking point. if you want too calculate how much it can take you can use this to get a avarage. Tensile strength, mn, ps (MPa) : 45 000 if its grade A
its pretty easy to calculate how stong an hydraulic cilinder would be. You need to know what the maximum pressure is and the surface area of the pist. If you know those 2 then you can calculate the strength.
Welding on the outside will contract/deform the tube..... The main reason this ram still works is the tolerance on the pistonseal. But, who cares, it works....

aaron wood My thoughts exactly! I was wondering the whole time... "Okay, so, a single hydraulic piston... What are they going to do with this?" A whole world of possibilities!
I am a high pressure vessel welder and I make these all day and you sir are gonna get hurt those welds are pretty scary to be trusted like that Those welds are that of what we call a horror story
Looks more like a concept build or an assembly rather than a build from scratch. Unless 90% of the build was done off camera, starting with a hydraulic cylinder or an extruded pipe instead of a piece of 'normal' pipe that had to have the weld seam removed then honed to be round. And then the piston had to be fabricated and the threaded collar with the o rings. . . Ever so much cheaper to purchase a manufactured cylinder than purchase the bits and pieces to make one! I KNOW because I looked into making as opposed to buying for a proof of concept project I developed and that was before the machining. Granted, you have bragging rights to say, "I made it" and it only cost me - if you include your time, 5 times the purchase amount
This was a great project. Great workmanship here. However,u missed to show us how you have connected the cylinder to the air pump,my biggest concern is how you connected the lever that when u shift it one direction, it moves the cylinder arm forward and vice versa. What gadget is that by the way( at minute 6:12 and 6:19)? Do let me know. Thanks alot for sharing this project
Good job! Im working with this stuff(making pneum. and hydraulic seals and cylinders) for almost 20 years, I don't want to criticize, but you made several mistakes, 1. You didnt make "nest" for the steady rest on OD of the tube. 2. You should face turn tube, make lenght, weld pipe conection, then make inner thread on tube, becouse welding make tube a little bit spherical.(that why you couldnt maybe tighten the pilot boss) Greetings from Bosnia and keep up with good stuff
Dunno if he followed advice or not on this, but, focus testing shows that adding them increases visibility. For example in advertising, that's why you see some commercials with bold 'components'. Now, considering TH-cam etiquette 101 is to read the video description, and the fact that barely anyone does it, IF he did it to increase visibility, i find it perfectly justified.
very nice projects! I have been watched mosti of your projects. and here a litle tip. when you turnin threads on a lathe you can finalize the thread with electric powered steel brush. makes it nice and cool. I make so much similar things than you. unfortunetly i have only photos of them. and at the end, i just like your way to make things. cool!!

Cool video about fabricating a hydraulic cylinder but as a machinist who builds these on a daily basis I see a few problems. One you should drill and weld ports on first due to possible distortion of the tube for the head to screw on. It could possibly damage the threads as well. Another thing is to at least put a taper of some sort on the rod itself so you don’t damage the seals in the head. And after said and done at least put a good hone through the barrel after the barrel is fabricated. Besides that good video
Nice build ! I have always wanted to build my own mini Hydraulic Rams (5"-8" x1" bore) I have built them 100's of times in my mind you guys make it look so easy but I am sure there are very tight tolerances that need to be followed-yes? I bought a SB tool room Lathe a few years back and still trying to learn- I"ll give this project a try after all I can that is how one learns through trail AND mostly ERRORS!!! Failures!! Thanks for the video!

Holy smokes now you have become my personal hero, I think you are ready for the automation projects next? If I had a lathe and could do what you do I would be rich ( poor country)
You are an extraordinarily gifted & intuitive designer/engineer. Do you draw plans prior to build or do you hold the design in your mind and complete the build organically?
What kind of tubing is the bore housing ? Can use use DOM tubing as is or do you need to machine or ground the ID ? Also the piston shaft, does it need hard chrome plating ? Does it need to be ground to final ID ?
Love your videos guys, but I think you should have a much thicker endcap on the cylinder. All the hydraulic cylinders I've dealt with have more of a "block" welded on the end, rather than a thin plate. Hydraulic systems typically go up to 3000 psi and I'd feel very uncomfortable relying on the plate welded on the end. Don't want to see someone blindly copy and then have a failure at that point.
Do hydraulics require a lot of electricity to make work? Does the action of Raising or lowering the hydraulic use a lot of energy? Thanks for whoever answers.

it would be awesome if you could make a small hydraulic press and send it to me so i can crush it with my 500 t :)
kalhspera !!
Yeah! Awesome idea! A "Make it extreme"-made hydraulic press crushed by "The Crusher". Would love to see that!
Make it Extreme so far you and Colin furze has made a a ram but his was pneumatic one 👍👏👏👏👏 I wish i had you'r talent and machine tools me jelly lol
Love your builds, can you make a metal lathe
try making a hydraulic press
what amazed me the most in this video is the strength of that pallet!
Hydraulic trying to smash a soft pallet
very nice. . skill and facilities
Compieter
@@florianspecht6714 I found this pallets for free!
in soviet russia, pallet smashes you
I've been doing metalworking for 44 years. And the stuff you guys do is pretty cool. You guys are awesome

You guys are crazy smart with lots of patients.
I hope the next video is making a hydraulic pump!!
That hydraulic pump is just ripped out of a wood splitter.

Hellsong89 get of your arse and make it yourself if you can't make a lathe you won't be able to do anything with it
You see it yet?
beautiful presentation!
この人はほんとに凄いなぁ
For this work, Laik is not a sin to deliver. Simply Class.
Nice... Now you need an EXTREME pallet!!
Pretty labor intensive process to make these hydraulic cylinders !
Make it Extreme, make a mini excavater with another hydraulic and a buckt ...Good work!!!
We need. One. Rate. Pleasee

Grinders and paint make me the welder I ain't!
one of the things I love most about your videos is that you use your own build projects in the next projects. Love your videos, keep it up!
you are extremely creative and talented.. thumps up guys
Thank you! :)
Thank you sir.. :)
I'm more impressed with how much that pallet resisted being ripped apart.
Great videos. Any chance in the future, maybe a quick time stamp for each component for reference? For instance after you cut the threads, a quick (5:17) to show how long it actually took? Just a thought!

Did you hone it after welding the bolt flange?
Correct.. it is poorly made, I think all commenting have no real idea.

Very perfect work
in the future after the apocalypse I want to be on your team
Apocalypse = No power grid = No welder/Lathe/etc
Pablo Ata That would not be a problem for these guys, there are many ways to create energy.
Lathes are one of the oldest shop tools ever dude, they predate electricity.
sure a pedal lathe would do all this tho uh?
One hooked up to a water wheel with leather straps would do perfectly fine, there are several surviving examples around the world. Mills are mills.
Your welding skill is perfect!!!!!
hey buddy, brake this sharp corners.... they are not good with high pressure and seals
All of a sudden I feel much better about the finish on my facing cuts
is it possible to measure how strong it is? very nice as always, thanks for sharing!
Well that is easy, but it will be more like testing its breaking point.
if you want too calculate how much it can take you can use this to get a avarage.
Tensile strength, mn, ps (MPa) : 45 000 if its grade A
its pretty easy to calculate how stong an hydraulic cilinder would be. You need to know what the maximum pressure is and the surface area of the pist. If you know those 2 then you can calculate the strength.
Matthias Wandel is the best person to answer this question I guess.
grade 9 math... psi x area of the clyinder..........
The actual force exerted from a given cylinder/pump and the actual rated capacity are two very, very different things...............
Cool. You can even manufacture loaders and excavators of your own !
Welding on the outside will contract/deform the tube..... The main reason this ram still works is the tolerance on the pistonseal. But, who cares, it works....
So weld first and then machine the interior of the tube?
@NYTom60 Thanks, mate. Take care of yourself. Pressure can go wrong very quickly, though not a bad as steam/ superheated water.
Weld first then hone the inside and cut threads after

brilliant build
so now that you've built it, what are you going to do with it?
aaron wood My thoughts exactly! I was wondering the whole time... "Okay, so, a single hydraulic piston... What are they going to do with this?" A whole world of possibilities!
I'm guessing hydraulic press.
djAnakin hydrolic presses are much bigger and much mkre powerful
aaron wood, if you watched to the end you would see it can bend metal.
woh that dude is cool , add it up dummies
this man is the shop
you are awsome sir
you make it look so easy
I am a high pressure vessel welder and I make these all day and you sir are gonna get hurt those welds are pretty scary to be trusted like that
Those welds are that of what we call a horror story
primativehunter18 agreed...this is a good way to blow your face off
Gatewayuser200 I have pictures of a hydraulic hose failure. Went through a hand. Do not trifle hydraulic oil. You will lose a finger.
primativehunter18 hyd pressure is alot higher than pneumatic, hence more force released at failure
Steel can be cut with a high pressure water jet. People can be cut with high pressure hydraulic fluid.
what kind of welding would it take for it to be safe? how would you test that?
Interesting. Good job.
Wow! Did you guys tested how much Newton can that beast push? Awesome...
Oh, hey Giaco.
Should just be the hydraulic pressure multiplied by the cross sectional area of the piston face.
@@benargee pretty much. A 4” cylinder, for example, will produce the same force at the same pressure regardless of the manufacturer.
No lead damage seals😮😮😮😮good job
You didn't show how to finish the inside of the cylinder , That's one of the most important things.
honning should be done otherwise it is wrong
@@manabendramukherjee5463 it was probably prehoned material obviously
Amazing video!

So wood is more durable then steal. Nice work man.

Does your brain ever shut off or go into neutral? Or are you thinking of something new every minute of the day. Keep the videos coming!!
Nice working
Many process errors in the construction of this cylinder
Like what

This was a great project. Great workmanship here.
However,u missed to show us how you have connected the cylinder to the air pump,my biggest concern is how you connected the lever that when u shift it one direction, it moves the cylinder arm forward and vice versa.

Greetings from Bosnia and keep up with good stuff
Now build a frame and you have a homemade hydraulic press, then start a new channel: "Homemade Hydraulic Press Channel".
Que bien trabaja me usta mucho lo que hace muchas gracias desde ESPAÑA.....
Is there a REASON you use capital LETTERS seemingly at RANDOM in your description? LOL
maybe its EXTREME.
+Brady Rose Confirmed as EXTREME. You're absolutely right.
It's their "CORPORATE" name in all caps and they always pay their bills with A4V(Accepted for Value.)

MIE, I love the way you build off of your previous accomplishments. It's like you guys are a model of ... HUMAN EVOLUTION!
A skookum ram
should use grease on seals and chamfer the piston end of the rod and chamfer the barrel to avoid tearing the seals and having difficulty fitting
Very engineering idea, well done
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS
Waauww,, amazing broo.. cool.. 👍👍😀
OMG you guys never cease to amaze the world with your skills.
Thank you! :)

wonderful idea
look at the last seconds of the video, he was so angry that his wood experiments failed to continue, never give up brooo!!!
Good Project.
Breaking the pallet like that was the most impressive part!

I am from Iraq and I am very influential in your work and hope to learn a lot from you
That thing is massive. Are you building a hydraulic pipe bender ?
Extraordinary well job
can u let me know the welding done on the different parts of the hydraulic cylinder
What size and model is your lathe? What accessories do you have with it?
Holy smokes now you have become my personal hero, I think you are ready for the automation projects next?
If I had a lathe and could do what you do I would be rich ( poor country)
i think AvE should try this and see how it goes
Cool project! I'm amazed at what you guys accomplish without the "proper" tools for the job.
Excellent work as always boys...
Thank you! :)
Nice job bro
How are you preparing the inside of the pipe? Is the internal surface already suitable for the piston and seals?
You are an extraordinarily gifted & intuitive designer/engineer. Do you draw plans prior to build or do you hold the design in your mind and complete the build organically?
Awesome dude! Is there ANYTHING in your shop , any longer, that you did NOT make? You're a top notch machinists.
Which grade material use for making cylinder?
Dipak; He won't tell you
So nice I am gain my knowledge in hydraulic thank you
That was really cool!!!
Thanks! :)
He is the real man
What kind of tubing is the bore housing ?
Can use use DOM tubing as is or do you need to machine or ground the ID ?
Also the piston shaft, does it need hard chrome plating ? Does it need to be ground to final ID ?
do you do anything with the metal scrap? I think it would be cool to see you melt it down, cast something and make something recycled
Nice job..... you do great work ......
Thanks! :)
Hello what type of oil used inside hydrolic machines ?
Nice video , good information .
nice video
In which website it is available at what price
Excellent engineer 👍🎖✔👍🎖✔
What did you use to clean up the inside of the bore after welding?
Amazing
