- I decided I should build a CNC Plasma table out of random scrap metal and junk I had around the shop. This should greatly improve my workflow for making brackets.
I used Anchor Lube in this video, as it has been my go-to for machining stainless steel, and I'm excited they're now a supporter of the channel. Check out their product here:

From junk to gem. Absolutely amazing.
That’s how we do it!
Your channel is amazing.... I'm baffled that you only have 40K subscribers.... You're like a top tier TH-cam channel I wait for to drop videos.
Keep up the amazing work... Please don't quit on us 🙏🏻
No, top tier youtubers are full of music, wasted intro and outro time, ads, and bs. This is much preferable - 100% content, 0% filler
Nice save with the aluminium screws plugging the holes.
Hey, look at you lurking around in the other machining channels ;)
@@chopper3lw Jeremy's is my favourite channel.
@@RotarySMP I like your channel as well. Im not sure if I have a favorite. There's a big spectrum between Cutting Edge Engineering and Clickspring. .
That was a genius fix! Bravo.
Check out the Post Apocalyptic Inventor if you haven’t come across him, he built a similar system out of mainly scrap too.
I put all my computers underneath a large tray of water. Glad to see someone else do the same.
I like the parts with the sloppy machining, the crusty bits, the treadmill parts, the river junk counterweights, the saving e-waste, sharpy shenanigans, bracket making, and the bungee cords and zip ties. This was a great one!
I like those parts too. I would have used zip ties for the whole thing if I thought it would hold up.
This was a classic "Jeremy Makes Things" - excellent content and creativity.
"Drive Shaft" and "Cable Management" - two concepts that have never before formed a union.
That was one of the most satisfying videos i have watched in awhile.
Thanks for another interesting build, I always enjoy the commentary just the right level of sarcastic humour 😁
I’m jealous, it takes me so long to make the wrong brackets right now!
You never cease to impress me😊, Jeremy. You are one smart cookie.
I love this thing. Cool way to use your skills and a bunch of mostly junk.
Love that you started using the machine to build it's self😂
"custom fabrication is just a fancy way of saying 'making brackets ' "😂😂😂
You are one of my heroes and an inspiration for my own channel, 'Tom, You're Doing It Wrong.' I just need a camera...
Love your quick wit and almost British sardonic humour. And the can do approach 👍
Very nice, it's a bit like watching Scrap Heap Challenge but in real life and where stuff actually works, thanks for the upload 😊
This is awesome, well done.
No doubt about it Jeremy, you sure are a clever bugger. Well done. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
My dad was a scrap metalworker too... he spent so much time repairing, fixing, and making machines that his business failed, which is why I became a 'buy quality, deliver quality' woodworker...
Serious engineering and skills, sir ! What can I say, other than "jealous" 😅😅😅
My favourite form of art is building complex stuff with mostly salvaged parts. It requires a special king of talent and genius. As the makers we know it takes longer but my reply to that is always like asking an artist why his work takes time. When you love doing something success is not just measured in time!
Your mill is in an excellent state of tram.
You’re understanding the situation as far as DO NOT BREATHE THE FUMES when cutting. You got this!
This why I love this channel.
I'm still really loving all the tapping heads that you have! Really encourages me to see if I can find one or make one. Mr. Pete did a teardown video of the Procurnious (spelling?? Naming??) one seems simple enough to put together.
Remember: it’s not just procuniey, it’s Procunier
Jeremy your talent and abilities always amaze me. Hope you have an awesome year and thanks for the video!
You really do have the best TH-cam maker channel. Fantastic stuff every video.
Absolutely love it! Hands down the ugliest cute little CNC Droid I've seen in awhile.
Love how you kept consistency with M6, M10 and M8😅. You forgot to mention interchanging between metric and imperial! Love your work and commentary.
Those metric holes appeared to be imperial spacing 🤣
But I did mix metric and imperial screws on this, and I hate myself for that.
As a Certified Electronics Idiot it always amazes me how easy others can build things like this.
Yeah Ive always wished that I had the knack to do the electrical stuff.
This latest thing you made will help you make other things which in turn could help you make other things. Cool!
Dude those hexagons on the electrical enclosure looked so friggin sweet :D
They don't hold a stick compared to those amazing septagons on the monitor mount - prime number sided shapes for the win
Nice. I'm definitely going to have to either make or buy a CNC plasma once I, y'know, have a shop to put it in. The "bungee cords and zipties" cable management solution reminds me of the rig used to manage the trailer wiring and air hose leads on a tractor trailer. You might want to consider tack welding some finer mesh expanded steel grate to the bottom of your cutting tray so that if small parts fall out, they don't end up in the drink, and you can still fish them out with longer pliers or forceps.
I'm definitely saving this video as reference material for that future shop space. Which, since I'm working on buying a house, hopefully won't be *too* much longer in the future.
What an amazing project, I love it! Thank you so much for making this one video so we can see everything start to finish.
That Dell P4 still working means it's one of the few not affected by capacitor rot. I pimped one of these for my coworker, getting the fastest P4 that fit in there. They have custom PSUs (not good) and nice air flow tunnels for cooling the CPU.
Well, it does occasionally lock up (other than being able to move the cursor)…..
Very nice and very good.. You are genius..
I really enjoyed this one! Any vid with your cro magnon fixed steady is,for me like watching a classic starring a hero, that steady is undoubtedly the best machine tool accessory ever seen on the internests.Also of great comfort and most refreshing is the fact you have built and programmed,fettled and got working a complex machine like the plasma CNC table WITHOUT honking £1000,s of dollarios into it like EVERY other channel.
Without doubt this superb creation will add to your capabilities and save you so much time in the purgatorial world of fekkery & bracketry.
I hope there might still be a place for CAD , cardboard assisted design.

Ilove the name you gave it!Scrapdroidfits the bill!!!
As much as I want more frequent and more regular uploads from you/your channel, this was worth the 2 month wait. Keep doing why you do. PS I was really excited when I saw your DP600 ‘restoration’ video a while back because I had recently restored the exact same machine.
Not only was it top tier in every way as usual, but it was nearly 43 minutes!! Bliss!
Excelnt machine! Definitely put a filter on the electrical cabinet. It should be NEMA4 airtight to keep metal dust out.
I’m here for the crust 😁
Nice work!!!
Hole deletion: an interesting take on additive machining! 👍
Super video. The cantilever design is great! i learnt loads thank you!
The whole intro to this video is gold. 😂
Amazing!! You have done it again. Big respekt for your work!!
This was just amazing from start to finish.
Absolutely fantastic what you can achieve with scrap. Well done 👍
Absolutely a thing of beauty!
I don't think people realise that I beams etc arent built to be flat, theyre almost always built under tension so what appear to be flat faces are usually curved one way or another...
buying a stepper motor is a necessary evil cause even you Mr Jeremy, can't make one from junk....well I am saying not I presume not and I'm not trying to lay down a challenge ...unless you fancy the challenge of making one out of a cast iron traffic cone and a ring main 🤨.
Drilling a piece of stock for making bolts shorter is not something I had thought of so thanks for sharing that little gem
And future proofing is always good but thats a fantastic holder for the plasma cutter
This is like rocket science to me to be honest but fascinating to watch
Another amazing video - building a cnc plasma table is on my to-do list - somewhere after the CNC mill is fixed up and operational! I can probably use the MESA board I was going to use to CNC the small G0602 lathe before someone gave me a real CNC lathe instead!
Amazing! I'm not quite the junk collector as you are so I'm going to build JD Garages plasma cutter plans.
Fantastic content as always.
That was an epic, inspired, beautiful build. Thanks for sharing and showing what's possible! Your vids always make me want to get into the workshop and make something.
Love it 👍
Nice!! And it only took you 42:43 to make all that. 😉
and if you dont talk you can probably make close to 30min 😂
First visit to your channel and I'm really enjoying your style. Subscribed.
i built a 4x4 cnc plasma cutter a few years ago, i made mine from extrusion./cheap amazon linear rails. it has a hypermaxx xp45 i use it all the time to make the wrong brackets. i have a gecko controller with a smoothstepper and a thc on mine...invest into sheet cam...its a game changer///love all your builds...happy new beers.
Hat down Mr Jeremy that is something well done!
WOOW NICE WORK:
Your projects are always very interestring, inspiring and never disappoint, they're the perfect example of being able to repurpose what can be considered as junk or at least what 99% of people would call it. The x axis has a lot of overhang, does it affect considerably the z height when the torch is fully extended? Of course if you plan to put a sensor to compensate for that it's not a proble.
Fantastic project, that's going to be enormously useful 👍
Another awesome video, thanks for posting
Well done sir, that was a good watch 👌
Always impressed and inspired from your channel content cheers!
Kudos for up-cycling the metal, I did the same when I built Pele'. Lovejoy offers a urethane bushing which should help on the backlash.
Brilliant!! Hugely enjoyable and the perfect antidote to the throwaway society!
Excellent job..
You never disappoint awesome my favourite youtu.ber from Australia ❤
I'd say you have a plethora of lathe lead screws. Inheritance Machining would be jealous.
Remember to add some fungicidal type 'stuff' to the water tray so you don't end up with a stink pit.
Good call. I ordered some, but it didn’t come in before I was done shooting the video. The water is now a disturbing shade of green.
@@JeremyMakesThings - 🤢🤮
😁
@@JeremyMakesThingsWill you have to worry about the mass of water putting off humidity and rusting your other machines?
Great project 😀 I thought it was going to be called Scrapdragon 🤣
Great job!
Just an amazing job, the applications should be endless
Very impressive, this is something I want to do, as I can't afford to buy one.
Despite the thumbnail I thought there was a ToT Subscribe joke coming at 42:17 :D
Nice work as always Jeremy, machine shops really are magical places that turn anything into anything else (usually chips!)
"Another CNC table build", I thought.. figured it would be another variation of gantry and timing belts; but, I like to watch Jeremy Make Things (because I'm too lazy to be Aaron Makes Things) and I was not disappointed. Not a timing belt in site.. of course we don't all have 4/5ths of a lathe lying around to cannibalise 😂
Love your perspective on things. Subbed!
Awesome build!
I really enjoyed that. Thanks Jeremy! happy newyear to ya!
You do a lot of projects where you end up needing to clean up a rough part that's 30~40 meters longer than your mill, have you ever considered restoring/building a metal planer? It would take up your whole workshop and give you nice precise surfaces for toe clamp stepping on the mill
nice work !!!
love your videos
Awesome!
great work thanks for the video
Hexagons, have you been watching grind hard?? Great video
Use borax in your water table. Trust me it's a night and day difference with rust, especially if you cut cold rolled and let the drop sit on the table. Awesome video🤘
awesome
You are a wizard.
Fantastic. The sarcasm makes me think you may be Scots
Loved it.
Nice Job.
Wonderful
Whoa... GREAT JOB! How long did that take you in realtime?
Looking back at the video files, o shot the first clip in August, but I worked on it off and on for a while, and was out of the shop for 3 weeks in November.
@@JeremyMakesThings That's some crazy productivity. And, I was amazed at your backlash ( not to mention x-y precision )
Oh thank god, id thought you had stopped uploading videos forever
Nope, just decided to do a project that took (looks at calendar)….5 months….
Nice, well done. Might give me some insensitive to finish the one I started 3 years ago.
Nice
EPIC 🤘🤘
It was a good thing you pulled the electronics off before welding. I didn't and fried my setup😅 not a good day lol.
And made the second mistake of not putting a fuse on the control board. Would saved it i think.
Hey Jeremy, I'm also in NH, with a fair amount of "extra stuff", which includes several ball screws. Let me know if you want some to upgrade this machine.
