Incredible video MATT. Videos aren't boring. You have to show the process whether it takes 10 minutes or an hour. I will still be here to watch. Getting close. Thanks for sharing. Awesome mail call. Keep the content coming. Enjoy your day. Much love and RESPECT
Getting there! Love our old Milwaukee 1/2" Hole shooters!! Awesome mail call!! That steel bench is like ours, it was all scabbed together from scrap, long before my time!!
Brilliant video Matt, no boring camel-back drill what I am aware off, that idea of the 45 deg brackets are awesome, thanks for sharing and O ya, that mail call was fantastic
This was a great video, just like the one before it that was not too long but and really good! This has been my favorite video series. The wheel wings are a great idea. That will add a lot of stability for sure. Thank you Matt.
Matt I can sure relate to when Milwaukee was the gold standard of tools. The sheetmetal shop that I worked for issued them for all our trucks. I still have a 7" Milwaukee angle grinder. It is so heavy in my old age it stays in the tool box and I graduated to the Makita 4" angle grinder. I also have 2 Makita corded 3/8" drills and a love my Makita tools. Don't worry about boring us You Tube has fast forward. LOL just kidding. Hope all is well in AZ we finally got some much needed rain Sunday. A spider actually layed its eggs inside my rain gage so that tells you what a hot dry summer we have had.
@@terrycannon570 The shop I worked at decades ago outfitted all the trucks with Milwaukee drills, grinders, and sawzalls. Those were the days. I refer to my rain gage as the dust gage 😂👍
Anything you can do to keep the center of gravity as low as possible is the only way to go on those old mammoth drill presses. I almost met my maker when I was making the frame for mine.
Neat ideas… though not perfect $40 is a great price for a metal table… hope you had some help moving that puppy! I like your designs they seem to make a lot of sense ! Go for it👍😎👍
I carried a bag like that for eight years before I moved up the food chain. I kept it at home for years after that. In fact, it may still be buried in a tote around here some where.
Doing a great job on that subframe. Hurry up and build another greenhouse, just kidding . This has been a fun series to watch. lol Those wing offsets should get a gusset somehow too for extra strength I think anyway. I need to meet your friend. I need some sawsaw blades lol. That was not nice of Nancy to take your tool bag. It should have been sent to me lol Great video Matt. 😊
@@MillCreekFabShop I’m using left over scrap from the screen house to build this thing 😂 I gave Nancy the bag for her art tools as I have bags and tool boxes everywhere. Plus she’s much better looking than you are 😁
The offset wings were something I thought of the minute I saw those casters. I think your idea is a good one and you will enjoy that press being portable. I have another project for you to restore. LOL Video coming up soon!
the offset wings are a necessity because I think the base as it is,, is too narrow and a possibility of a tip over is not unlikely so the wings will be useful and both ways. .
@@MissouriOldTimer I’m thinking a tip over is what caused the damage I discovered a few videos back. The next video will show the giant roller skate I’m building 😂
Matt - Your idea is great, but I recommend you do not use a 45 degree connection, but rather make it a straight vertical connection. This transfers the load from the drill press to the caster without wanting to rotate the offset piece. You can add a 45 degree gusset piece to really reinforce the caster connection. If your drill press is anywhere near the weight of my Canedy-Otto, you are looking at over 2,000lbs.

I couldn't pass it up for 40 bucks. Eventually I'll take the diamond plate off and put a 1/2" steel top on it.

@@jankotze1959 Thanks Jan. I’m still blown away by all the goodies in that mail call
Hello Matt, yes that is a great idea with the casters, enjoyed the video and great stuff in the Box that was sent to ya, take care Matt

Great idea on the caster placement. That will do the trick
@@RustyGlovebox Thanks Lloyd. I have a giant roller skate in the shop now 😂👍
Awesome video as always brotha! Nice caster placement!
@@EYE_SPIDER Thanks Bryce!
Good timing Matt. I'm on the outskirts of Milwaukee now waiting to unload.
Nice mail call. Looking forward to El Dorado Days .Thank you Matt.
You''re welcome Bryce!

@@terrycannon570 I keep it hooked up to my cherry picker for that very reason. This thing should be pretty stable when I’m done. Thanks Terry!
Good Morning Matt! 👍

@@Kevscancave I'm a one man show in this shop. I don't show a lot of stuff cause it gets sketchy around here at times 😂
@@mattthescrapwhisperer I believe that lol! 👍😝👍 we always called that, “do as I say-not as I do” 👍👀👍
Webb is like Santa Clause. Harbor Freight used to sell those canvas mechanics bags back in the day. I have a few.

@@nelsoncreekfarm Well, there’s about a 5 year backlog in my project queue right now 😂
That's about what I'd do for the casters.. make it more stable and keep it low!! Heavy angle iron would work..
Wait until the next video. I'm scooting around the shop on a giant roller skate 😂
