I really like your content mate. It gets tiresome when makers are always doing over the top click bait crap. I like that you seem to be very practical and to the point.
Overall a nice job. I would replace your pivot bolts with "shoulder bolts" which are machined to a proper OD to fill the hole, (and they are Grade 8). The Grade 5 zinc coated are only meant to hold by "compression" they're not meant to resist the "shear forces" like shoulder bolts are. Also you should know the thicker the material you're cutting the more gap you need between your blades. 3mm (nearly 1/8" thick) won't hurt to have .010" - .015 gap. (rule of thumb the gap should be at least 10% of material thickness) I would open up the overall gap then slip a thin shim behind your bottom blade for your thin material, and remove it for the 3mm + and it should cut no problem. I wouldn't change the bevel angle on the grind you've done well.
Wow very well made. And I sure appreciate the lack off blabber. Some guys seem love hearing themselves talk and they ramble on and on . You are a man of a few words and that is great . Thank you very much for that
I love it. And after just recently taking my first ~2hr welding class, I have a new appreciation for laying such a nice weld as you did on each of these bits!
it is easy, not easy to invent but building it can be done easily if you have the tools and know how to use them. if you cant weld, well it gets a bit tricky, but if you have a welder and some scrap metal, a sheer is fairly easy to build. i encourage everyone to at least try it. if you fail, you have no shear, but if you dont try it, you dont have the chance to make one in the first place. its not a precision instrument, you can get away with a couple of flaws :)
Pretty impressive. I’m one of those guys that builds tools and gadgets for some special project and by the time the tool is finished I’ve lost interest in the project it was for. So, I’ve got a well equipped workshop with precious little actual production. But I’m building one of these! Very nice planning and execution. Love all your stuff. 😎👍👏

Great project! I had to make shears during my apprenticeship in Germany, still got them 30 years later. Cut many panels with it and fixed numerous cars! Essential small workshop equipment! And BTW: shit, you can weld 😁!
That's pretty sweet, man. I've never seen someone actually construct their own metal shear. I've seen some restorations/repairs, but this turned out really nice, and it'll do 3mil sheet steel? That's impressive for a first try homemade piece. Nice job!
Hey! Great build, thanks for sharing. I had a thought on the stand placement for the grinder; if you want to to see the previous placement on the floor then mark out the foot print with a sharpie/ permanent marker so your not goin in circles for a final location. Cheers and thanks again.
A bloody brilliant little bit of kit that, would love to build one like that myself, an argument could be made that it would be quicker, easier and cheaper to buy one off eBay, but where is the fun in that? Top job
Great job, Neil. I always your videos first when they pop up. You have a real talent for practical content and you make them easy to watch and listen. I agree: No click bait!
You know, I try my best to watch all of your videos. Not just because of your immense talent, but because of your honesty. You show your mistakes, where most you tubers wouldn't. I appreciate how human that makes you!
I was just thinking last night how I need one of these for my shop. Lo and behold you post this! Great work Pask, well done. Your a gentleman and a scholar
Oh my, you got a any man dreams garage/tools setup, seen all those machines and very well organized makes me feel happy to see something so beautiful, love it!
As a metal fabricator of over 25 years I can say for a woodworker you have built a very handy addition to your workshop sir! I have a Beverly tabletop shear that works well too but yours is probably a fraction of the cost
You have a very strong gift for mechanical engineering and physics! I've used tough nylon or plastic washers between the metal parts on my projects just to reduce the wear and tear and prolong the life of the machine. Great video, keep them coming. Please make a metal (flat and pipe) bender with various sized dies that will bend accurate angles. Bill from Minnesota, USA
I watch a ton of wood working videos on youtube, but I don't do any wood working. But I do find myself doing some basic at home metal working everyonce in a while. I really want to make Jerr's belt grinder, this looks very useful too.
Great project, just great ! ! ! ! Sometimes ya just never know what tools you're going to need until you need them. So for those that ask why, well, you wouldn't understand.
well another incredible build, you make it look so simple. this has me asking what do I need metal cutter for so I can try make one. thanks for making and sharing. impressive
Nice! So stoked you got a 2x72. I see alot of guys go straight for the blaze belts and for good reason but I switched to 3m cubitron II belts for 36 grit and really love them. Also doesn't hurt to get some 24 grit belts as well. I don't think Norton or 3m have 24 grit so they are usually generic but well worth it to have around for hogging off material.

I tightened all the bolts then backed them off slightly, I'll double check them to see if they're too loose. I can't see why a paper shear couldn't be made, I actually have a paper guillotine that cuts through a whole ream, although it works I reckon I could make a better one. :)
10:30 To start your tap perfectly square without having to eyeball it every time, make yourself a tapping block. Mine is about 1.5" thick and about 2x3". Measure each of your taps' OD, then drill a hole slightly bigger. Slide the block over the tap then butt it against the workpiece and start turning. Once you're in 2 or 3 turns, take the tap out and remove the block.
That was an excellent video. You have some quality trade skills there my friend. I particularly recognised that you didn't go into great significant details for the hardening and tempering processes. Loved it mate, well done.
Good creftmanship. However this tool is offered from many shops to a very moderate price. My DIY projects are generally limited to machines that are not found anywhere else. Your work is illustrating how good planning and many years of experience can create a fully functional tool. I think that your message is to inspire others by this fine project as an example.
Enjoyed it immensely, Neil. Congratulations on your new belt grinder [and what a hungry thing it is - rounding off those curved pivot plates!]. I've come to recognise that some 'mistakes' are actually natures way of saying, "hang on, you might want to try it differently" and those are sort that you have! Great work as usual.
Awesome stuff. If it ever starts to bend in the back you can always just beef up that bit and use it for another few years! Great build thanks for sharing. Also I enjoyed the animation/effects you did a la Frank Howarth very much!
hey! just an advise, if the drill bit catches the piece and spin it it can rip your hand off, plsea be safe, clamp it down, use a tiny vice or something you can really grab it. be safe.
Great idea, love the build, awesome video as always. Can I give a small piece of advice though? We’ve got one of these in the workshop at the school I teach at. There’s a hole through the blade, and one through the main body so that a bar/bolt can be inserted through to lock the blade in the closed position. This way inquisitive individuals don’t mistakenly cut their (or their friends) fingers off. Probably wouldn’t happen in a home workshop, but I’d rather be safe than sorry!
I know this video is old, but I’ve been binging your channel. I love your videos. This cutter is awesome. So satisfying watching it slice those metal bits.

Building this thing by yourself is just incredible. I can't understand how somebody don't like this. It's awesome. Greetings from Germany.
Love how you use the washers for quick and easy yet accurate rounds. so clever!
Love it. I don't do metalwork. I have no need for a metal cutter of any kind.
I kind of want to make one of these now.

@@CraigsWorkshop yup
Thanks! I won't be using them to cut 3mm though, I was just seeing what was possible! It's surprising how much easier it was to cut 2.5mm to 3mm. :)
Just watched a couple of resto vids on these things and then along comes Pask and actually makes his own!

You can cut thicker material with a greater bevel on the blade, a steeper cutting angle or by heating up the workpiece locally.
Great project! I had to make shears during my apprenticeship in Germany, still got them 30 years later. Cut many panels with it and fixed numerous cars! Essential small workshop equipment!

@@prima164 Bet that made you look after your equipment more.
Fantastic project! You made it look so simple. I just got a new mig/tig welder and can't wait to tackle a project like this.
Great project!!!!
If you drilled a 10mm hole through the upper blade and frame, you could use it to shear round bar.
Keep em coming!
Ooh good idea
@@prima164 didn't think of that
@@prima164 The hand shears I use at work have a 13 mm hole and all I do is make an offset allowance the thickness of the blade when cutting.
I did think about it but decided I could manage without it. :)

That was a great build. Cutter seems to be working flawlessly.
Really good you get some use out of that. Maybe you could add a bending blade to it so as to bend thin metal

If you put a shim behind the fixed blade so as to open the gap between the blades it will cut the thicker plates easier.
nice example of weld shrinkage and warping at 11:30
For this is give you an A+. Wonderful step by step explanation. Always a joy to watch you at work. Keep up the good work.
