Whether planned or spontaneous, your conclusion and tone of delivery made me laugh, so thanks for that. I definitely appreciate your struggle and admire that you're willing to share even though things aren't going as planned. I wonder if that's more typical or not, probably not. You're attempting to solve a much more complex problem than most making videos. As the indian said in The Outlaw Josie Whales, "endeavor to persevere".
Thanks. Making things is tough. It's also tough showing the world you aren't perfect. But I think I'd end up looking more foolish if I pretended I was an expert and end up screwing up even worse because I didn't leave myself open for help and criticism. If I can make it into a bit of schadenfreude for people, maybe they'll feel less bad when they make mistakes. Or at least they'll keep watching my videos. :) You really do have to persevere if you want to make things. I don't know who said it, but I like the phrase "The master has failed more times than you've tried."
What you're experiencing is either tool deflection or +- .003 taper which can cause fit up problems. This is caused by dull tooling or your part is off center. That .001 does matter and should be damn perfect 0 all the way around. I would suggest buying a Machinist Handbook and familiarizing yourself with speeds and feeds for different types of materials.
Am enjoying all of these videos mate, very informative which I enjoy. Being from Britain and a knife nut i’d love a Balison but obviously can’t so am very excited for when of if you put these on the market. Out of interest would someone on an average wage or sadly a little less (British soldiers aren’t paid much) be able to afford one or is it too soon to tell?
How are you locating the center of the part? Probe? Sweeping with an indicator? I'd say you're getting tool deflection or its running the part geometry slightly off center. Take smaller pecks (usually Q in your G83 cycle) make it .030 or .040 and drill will cut more accurately. I'd drill AFTER running the milling cutters.
Sure. Make a new project. Draw a sketch and dimension of half of your tool as if you were going to do a revolve. Or you can import a DXF from Harvey tool or whatever tool maker if they have one. Next in manufacturing, under manage, click "form mill." Then you select the sketch, select the axis of rotation, and what point on the tool does it base compensation around. It can be a bit weird so it might take a couple tries to get right. This tool will be in your tool library. Once you have named it and set up speeds and feeds, copy it to another group of your tools so that you can use it in other projects. For the tool paths I just use the regular contour 99% of the time. I might make negative stock to leave or bottom height to get it to cut where I want. It takes some trial and error in the simulation to get the tool to line up exactly with the features on your part. A youtube video might make it easier to understand. I watched a NYCCNC video on form tools for the basics, but it can be a bit weird, so I might make a video myself later about how to deal with some of the glitches I've found.
great video. keep up with youtube channel i love your videos. try posting every week and you will quickly get more folowers. i think you should make 2 grooves into handle and make 2 extra pins on the pin. then put those 2 pins into grooves so that the handle cant move freely. i cant explain it very good because english isnt my mother language.
I like it. I'm not an amazing flipper, but it seemed pretty good to me. Also it helps me get a sense of size and weight for popular balisongs. I won't replicate it exactly of course, but now I'm thinking if I want to go a little longer with mine or not. I was thinking I'd go a bit shorter but it does seem like a bigger difference in person.
It's such a learning experience watching you make the baliscissors from scratch. I can't wait to see the finish product.

Dope ass quote dope project
We couldn't love this video more! Thanks for walking through your entire process, and all the new techniques you learned along the way!
Jesus, man!!! How much patient you have left with this scissors??? I have nightmares just by watching how much effort you put in it!!!
Fascinating watching this iterative design in action!
how do you only have 120 subs you are the best😊👍

Any specific machinist handbook you'd recommend?
Great video as always. I really dont understand how you only have 52 subs, in my opinion you deserve way more. Keep up the good work👍
Come back 1 month later and this dude has over 1k subs!
@@soloscoots6918 Now he has 11.2k absolutely insane!
Just came across your channel really dig it. Liking the progress on the scissors. Shop your video would be cool.
Keep at it, you'll get there! This is all great learning experience. If you never make anything, you'll never learn to be a good engineer!

Such an underrated channel keep it upp💪💪

Thanks for sharing - may I ask you how you model your tools in F360 for the undercut and what type of tool path you use ? Thx
Sure.

@@ContraptionCollection thanks much for the prompt response - I'm going to model some of my wood router bits
Question is how round does that machine interpolate? When you mic it all the way around how far is it off? Just wondering? Sweet video man!
You need more views I will buy those balisiccors
How much are you planning to sell them for
Heck yeah! Kinda stinks that the handles touch on the alpha beast. Great work and keep up the amazing content!
your content is really great, love it
If you pretend the blades are the handles and the handles are the blades, do they work? if so could you swap the orientation of the mechanism?
great video. keep up with youtube channel i love your videos. try posting every week and you will quickly get more folowers. i think you should make 2 grooves into handle and make 2 extra pins on the pin. then put those 2 pins into grooves so that the handle cant move freely.
i cant explain it very good because english isnt my mother language.
Could you reverse the mecanism so the blade follow the handle and not the contrary?
Baby balisomg is so cute
Where did you find those tools?
I buy from Harvey Tool, Lakeshore Carbide, and OSG.
I Think You need a precision cnc mill for small parts, there is a Nice one on a website called Micro-Mark
I know i am a bit late to it, but thought it might help
Awesome video as usual, always interesting seeing what you got going on, but what do you think of the alpha beast?
I like it. I'm not an amazing flipper, but it seemed pretty good to me. Also it helps me get a sense of size and weight for popular balisongs. I won't replicate it exactly of course, but now I'm thinking if I want to go a little longer with mine or not. I was thinking I'd go a bit shorter but it does seem like a bigger difference in person.
7:34 its working change blades and handles lol
69 hundred subs nice
Your pins are operating as a sprague clutch
3:39 1 thou 0.001 inches = 0.0254mm. thats not acceptable in any way. 0.01mm is too much allready LOL it means clearly see needle move
3:14 chatter?
Chatter wouldn't cause that. its most likely a taper
