I think it’s funny that a lot of people just don’t get it some of us have a lot of fun making things. No matter how much it costs at the store. Not only that when we need something that is not available at the store we will have the skills to make it.good job on the buffer that’s something that i would do also . The commenters that say go to the store and buy it probably pay thousands for a boat,fishing tackle,license,bate etc etc all for a few pounds of fish. It would certainly be cheaper to go and buy some at the store!👍🙏🇺🇸
haha exactly
Ya but I fish for fun in my free time. It’s not all about eating the fish it’s more about catching and releasing. Plus you get a fresh fish meal after a fun day of fishing. Fresh tastes better to.
Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀
Great vid during lockdown I’d certainly have a go at making something like that, the satisfaction of creating something yourself sometimes outweighs the effort and cost.
Well done.
nice video, but i think just a few people can have a lathe, for them is easier to get a sturdy bolt and two nuts with two big washers, fold that cloth several times and with a nice pair of very sharp scissors make a single cut and that way you will get several pieces of round cuts at a time
Totally agree! Although, I went down this path to suit the materials I had at the time.
Harbor freight has them for cheap. But i get a satisfaction of knowing i can make one. Thanks for the DIY
The cheap ones aren't as good as the ones you can make yourself. The mandrel quality is shit, the fibers are weak. I would never dream of trying to make a sisal wheel, but denim and flannel and cotton are easy to make. Plus you can make your own very large diameter. Dressing the wheel should be part of maintaining it. Thus having extra diameter will allow for more dressing and more wheel life. The ones from the store are made in bulk by someone getting paid hourly, and it really shows that they aren't made to last.
Fantastic gunna knock one up this afternoon. Thanks
Some things just make more sence to buy than make. This is one of them!
Some things we do because it is our duty, some things we do simply because we can.
J LAW ...... DIY is not for everyone ....... you are one of them ..... Good job Thomas Fox ...... recycle when you can ......
J Law DIY is not for u.... For once you can't even spell sense properly... And u comment with such confidence... Go buy everything u cannot create.
@J Law: Your comment is conflicting at its best! At least there HAS to be SOMEONE who MAKES these buffing wheels for SOMEONE like you conveniently walking in the store and BUYING them! Make up your mind, sir!
5:55 bless you.
Bless you.
Gesundheit.
at first i think this is diy, but after see the lathe machine, i think maybe i will just buy it
Perfect
الحمد لله على نعمة الحمد لله
nice video, it is always satisfying to create rather to buy.
Wow everyone crying about how long it took, tools used, and materials used. The only way to be skilled is to use said skill and once this skill is learned you can only get better by applying the skill set. He had the tools, skills, and materials available so he used them. I don't understand why he's even get flack for this. I googled home built polishing wheel to see if other people had also fabbed one to see what ideas others had come up with and was pleased to see someone who likes the old ways of making things instead of the internet or big box stores.
Nice sir video
after watching it would be faster with bolts and washers then cloth however as stated before it is good to keep up skills making things like a black smith uses to
Amusing and informative, but I'd rather be polishing than making wheels that aren't too expensive...especially with 20-25% off at HF!
Still, thx 4 the vid.
well they are making these because people love making items to keep up their skills and if there is none to be bought then make them because they know how just like blacksmiths
Great video on making a buffing mop! Would it work to use large washers? I don't have the metal working machine you have. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you for the kind words. Large washers and a bolt already with a full length thread can be had from any hardware store and would work just fine - and be a lot less trouble!
5:55 - "Gesundheit!"
He is farting 🤣🤣😂😂
Tooling Remo good tricks think s
I understand why you took this path (which is scary to many people, hence the complaints) but I got the gist and I am certainly going to build one (albeit with washers and bolts) and some cloths. Thanks for the idea. Also thinking of building some for my dremel. Any idea how can I build the mandrel for a dremel as the nut and bolt will not work i guess
Wife: Where is the bed linen? Me: ...ahem...spinning?
Just go to hardware store and spend $2 for some large washers and all those machines are unnecessary.
jgonzz10028 You would be hard pressed to find washers of those dimensions or that precision at a hardware store. Besides, the fun is in making as much of the tool yourself as possible (:
What is the white material ?
You could have bought one for the time it took you to make it also if you had bigger washers or a bigger piece of metal you could have cut all that on the lathe at the same time
Very nicely done:-) what is the fabric? it is available in the stores but to make it by hand has a different meaning :-) thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words. The fabric is called calico - a rough weave cotton cloth. It is usually very cheap to source.
Thomas Fox ,thank you for responding:-)
.
Thank you
Could you please share the name of the cloth and where did you buy it from?
Thank you in advance.
That cloth is supposed to be canvas thats the material used commercially. You can also use old jeans. Technically any fabric, but the tougher the fabric the better.
I made some a few weeks ago, same basic method as you did apart from I put a ring of stitching to secure the round pieces. Did yours produce lots of flying loose threads and fluffy dust at first? Mine did! LOL I used old IDF combat pants, thick recycled felt and heavy cotton dish cloth. The wheels worked well but wore down fast. Have you considered using some discs made of layers of carpet (with a hessian jute backing)? I think they would cut well
I did find that my material isn't nearly as hardy as the commercial ones, and wore down quickly. I like the idea of felt pads! The carpet may work, too, so long as the backing isn't likely to be scratchier than the polish itself, heh. Maybe some starch or somesuch on the fabric would help give it a bit more substance and hardiness? I have used a disc of MDF at low speeds to polish the edges of some chisels and knives, also - I find it holds cutting compound well and doesn't flex enough to alter the edge angles.
The felt I used was the recycled felt blankets that removal men use to wrap furniture for relocating to a new house. It is made of shredded mixed fibres which are felted, then stitched in horizontal lines. I reckon jute (hessian) backed carpet would be ok although sometimes they put some sort of PVA to stiffen it, that would probaly be too scratchy.
I also made some 4 inch diameter leather wheels, 3 layers of 3 or 4 mm veg tanned leather laminated with gorilla glue (the one that you activate with water) They are really tough although I havent tested them yet. Leather works good, the tormek machines have a leather strop wheel.
I worked in a plating shop many years ago (doing plating) but every now and again would watch the polishers. They are the most skilled in the place, the polishing is the secret to a fine chrome plate finish. Their wheels were like 4 feet in diameter. One day I had a go during a lunch break even though it was forbidden. I hadnt a clue, the metal whizzed off at a tangent, and I damn near sliced my fingers off
Reminds me of the demonstration my tech teacher showed us as students. He would turn the buffing machine on, and gingerly offer a small wad of shredded cotton cloth to the wheel, imitating long hair. Naturally the machine would grab the wad and tangle it, while throwing bits of cloth all over the shop all in the blink of an eye. Always scared the brown out of the students. The leather I imagine would be great for edges and sharpening - I might have to make a leather wheel now :D
🎩🎩
nice work, however, I could have used those 2 hours to do a lot... a buffing mop is around 2-3 bucks... not worth the effort imho.
nevertheless, informative and nicely done. thx...
Bro u can use simple nut n bolt ... and washer instead of doing so much machining
@fahim ansari: Let it go, dude! If he wants to invest some time for quality ( something you obviously don't understand ) let is be!
bhai bada he vela banda hega o yara 2" washer market lai lenda itne boond ghesai o v washer banan laye yaara samajh to pre hega.
Can I make this with old jeans cloth?
Denim like in jeans should work just fine.
4:03 was it a fart ?
What is the name or the kind of that fabric of cloth?
It is calico cloth - a very basic, fairly roughly woven cotton cloth. It is also nice and cheap :)
Wear and what colour block for cleaning motorcycle casing as have 3 engines to do wanted a old buffing wheel from 80s but can not find any as did not want to buy from china but might have to.Could we not just use hard plastic as have shed but just a electric stone bench have nothing compared to your shed
No description at all..!!!???, which clothe used ?
7:08 what do u call of that green thing??
a bit late, but it's polishing compound
Yo. . .that's good work but damn. . . washers man, fold that shit, a lathe? Damn. . .
Cotton?
I used some calico I had on hand, which is a rough woven cotton cloth. Any cloth will do, but cotton fabrics are best.
Yea cheaper to buy
and you are saving how much???
It's not about saving, it's about doing. Sometimes we do things just for the sake of doing them, and saying that we can do it. Stirling engines made from old cans for instance - they serve no practical purpose, and are merely a curiosity, but we still build things like that no?
@@TEFox and sometimes what you want is not what's sold at the store. Sometimes you just have to go custom.
I made it from cotton but its don't polish the aluminum , so I don't have the green thing , what's it name , from iraq wrote at 16/11/2017 22; 58PM 26/2/1439
Hi, the green stick is a cutting compound - which is sold as 'metal polish' or 'jewelers rouge'. Most metal polishing compounds will work if it can be applied to the mop.
Thank you for answer , sorry I was made it from linen , can i use the soap or face cream ? to polish
Soap and face cream do not contain any abrasive compounds, so they will not work. Car polish is common and easy to source, and will work for aluminum.
Ok , thank you
Toothpaste would work too if ur desperate!
Please don't mind but more than half of your video was on making washers!
Calibrated washers! ^.^
What was applied on wheel @07:10 ?
spending all that time in things more usfull
NIce video but seems like a lot of work for something you can buy for $3 on eBay.
Anthony O It was! But I get satisfaction from making something myself, even something as silly and simple as this.
Thanks again for the video. I thought about making my own polishing mops and probably would have followed something similar to your process had I not found them so cheap from China. I may consider it if I need custom size polishing mops.
That mob will be gone in a just a few minutes. The quality of that fabric is poor, it is flying all over the place.
At least they are cheap to replace!
@1959Berre: It depends upon wether you use cotton wool or synthetic such as nylon and/or polyester, or any combination of them. But if it does a good polishing job, I'd take that into account for a neat finishing touch. But, of course, no material is immune to wear'n'tear like the clothes you wear on a daily basis.
@@Bandicoot803 hi sir can I know which is best cloth to make polish cloth brush ..I am having a bullet .so I want to make cloth wheel brush to polish my bullet .

Bhai ais kay oupar kya lagaty hai chack hota hai ya kya
Nonsence. Why doing this, buy from market and enjoy. This is not costly.
Nice waste of 7 minutes and 40 seconds of my time
I like to keep the suspense levels high in my videos to keep people sucked in for the longest time. I don't want to give too much away in the titles.
