Model Engineers Workshop Forum is full of bell ends. Any criticism they make is null and void. You are a professional and there was nothing wrong with that set up for drilling a hole. I for one have benefitted hugely from watching you, and machining is part of my professional life too, as well as a hobby.
whoever said that your X axis was loose wasn't being stupid because it did look very much like it was. however if you look carefully you can also see the column moving as well, i personally think it's you Ade, you don't know your own strength!. As for the people who complained about about your setup for drilling a 2.5mm hole, if they know better, why are they watching your channel. You have never to my knowledge claimed that you are providing a tutorial. I have been in the industry for 45 years and know just as much if not more than many, but I enjoy watching you and other peoples work on TH-cam as we all approach a job in different ways and its all about getting the job done and enjoying yourself. You always find certain people who love to complain and criticise others efforts, ignore them, it's not worth your effort. Keep doing what your doing Ade, I love your Videos, your very down to earth in your approach and they are always fun and interesting especially now your touching on steam which my main interest.
Dont usually leave comments on YT but I enjoy your videos and hope to buy myself a lathe once lockdown ends. Please keep up the good work and Im positive your followers are behind you 100%
Ade, watching your videos is like dropping in to watch a mate fiddling around in his workshop, and as such the protocol is that said mate is entirely within his rights to talk a load of old tosh should he feel so inclined... it's his shed after all! Except you don't talk tosh! Sure that clamping would've been shaky if you were heavy milling an engine block, but hopefully anyone heavy milling engine blocks knows what they're doing! You just carry on doing what you do buddy... and I'll keep on hitting that 'like'. And thanks for letting me into your shed again, I promise I'll bring the beers one of these days (maybe) :)
I am just beginning the journey into machining rather late in life, but I am having so much fun learning. I just happened on to your channel and I am so glad I did. I know its not supposed to be a learning channel, but try as you may, I am learning a lot. Thanks so much for all you are doing!
Hi Ade. Don't pay any attention to anything posted on the Model Engineers Forum. Carl below nailed it with his description of them. If anything, treat it as a 'Badge of Honour' to be criticised by them. I caught some from them when I posted my videos on the Beer Keg Furnace. Your videos have helped many who are just starting out with their own shops, me included. So keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Cheers, Alan.
There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, Dont take it to heart Ade. All you are showing is how you do things, everyone does things differently to others. Me and the other 8.19K subscribers still love and enjoy your content.
@@ade63dug On the criticisms, you made the most valid point of all - "its just one way this can be done." I've been watching both Blondihacks and Joe Pieczynski's series on the PM Research #3. there were a few people stirring that pot and it was all BS in the end, because she's a semi-professional hobbyist with a hobbyist's shop and he's a pro with a pro shop. In between the pair of them were great examples by BOTH on how we can do things depending on our skill levels and experience and what our shops allow. I'm about to have my lathe delivered 🤞🤞🤞 I probably wont have a mill for some time depending on what's available. I haven't done any machining in about 20 years and I want to start with a couple of these engine projects to get back into it. So seeing all these things done in different ways is actually a big deal for me. I learn a bit of every video I watch, some more some less, BUT I LEARN FROM ALL. So thanks. 👍👍🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
The belters on that particular website are the worst kind of amateurs. They wouldn't get far if they had to make a living from engineering. Your videos are informative, interesting and you are a true gent. Please don't change for those numpties. Dean in Oxfordshire.
Hello Ade, I like to watch your videos very often and very much. I myself participate in a forum, and I have to say, unfortunately, that many wise people are on the way and express their opinions whether they want to hear it or not. You've made a lot of videos that have enriched people and I very much hope that many more will follow. There is no reason why you would have to justify yourself for your work. I am an engineer myself and one thing I think is clear: an engineer is always right ;-)) Thank you very much for your videos and happy days! Frank
There is no need explain better ways to clamp or set up just to justify yourself against the trolls who go around saying derogative things to the TH-camrs. Ignore the haters, don't bow down to them. They love it when they get a reaction. You have enough experience and knowledge to use your machines safely. You have probably forgotten more than the haters will ever know. Love your videos and they way you go about your hobby.
Bravo!! There's always someone who thinks they know what you should be doing better. I always wonder how closely they monitor their own actions. They're diligent to mind someone else's business while their own goes lacking. Love your channel. Keep it up.
Hi Ade. Three years eh, how time flies, I found your site when you and I purchased a WM 180 and I've watched every video since. You've been my teacher, and my inspiration and I'm very grateful. I also follow Quinn and Joe, and it's true everyone does things their own way, and provided we're happy and it achieves the desired result and nobody gets hurt it's OK. Regarding the criticism, some think themselves experts and feel obliged to point out perceived failings in others, they just can't help themselves. I agree with the majority, some comments are best read and then forgotten. You can be assured that 8.27K of your subscribers really enjoy watching, and learning, from your videos. Please keep up the good work. Cheers Noel.
No problems with your techniques and practice of them Ade, on the contrary; I recognize your tool room skills, others should take note, rather than criticize. A few years ago, when our American cousins were all enthused with hand scraping machined ways, straight edges etc, several TH-camrs were showing complete garbage. Having spent over twenty years standing by a bench, filing, fitting, scraping, then machining, press tool build and repair, I would call my self very competent, and able to comment, of course there are many more far skilled than me, and some who think they are skilled. But I can, and regularly learn new methods etc from non time served individuals. Moan over. Thanks for sharing and best regards from the Black Country. John.
Don't let the bugger's grind you down Ade, Do it your way with the equipment you have, if it looks like it'll explode half way though the operation, then don't stand too close to it, and ware your safety squints.
G'day Ade and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 for what it's worth I think that you do a great job and your videos are informative are light hearted and you are always happy and pleasant. Like you said you are always going to get criticism on an open forum such as this, keep up the good Ade kind regards John stay safe
Personally, I don't want to watch videos of people who never make mistakes. If you're not making mistakes, you and us viewers don't learn anything from it. Keep up the good work sir and don't let the buggers get you down.
@@ade63dug I think there are two types of people who never make mistakes on TH-cam. Those who are good at what they do, and those that are very good at video editing.😀 I just subscribed to your channel. I like your style. Take care
Hi Ade, Love your channel. My experience with those small hole gages is that particularly when you have them spread out near the top of the range for that particular gage, the ball "wings" are not very round and you have to fish around by rotating the gage to get the same feel as the hole when you put it in the micrometer for a measure. It's easy to measure a little small if you don't fish around for the high spot. Pins are best for small holes, but we can't all afford a complete set! For standard sizes like 1/4, I will sometimes measured a carbide end mill shaft and use that as a pin gage since they are usually a few tenths undersize.
Yes indeed , it is tricky to mic them up correctly at the 90 degree point to the spread . I have gauges from 10 though to 100 thou only from my press tool making days . Cheers Ade.
Ade, tell the detractors to go somewhere else. I, and an awful lot of your subscribers, keep coming back for more. Personally, I look forward to the videos and I particularly enjoy watching the time you take to finish off the part. Chamfers, blending surfaces and so on. Keep it going
Hi Pierre . When i was an apprentice a wise old guy told me that if someone cuts themselves on a part that you have made then it is your fault . I have carried it on to this day . Unless it has to be sharp that is . The attention to detail is part of the art I think . Cheers Ade.
Just wanted to give you my nod of support as concerns the YT trolls! I’ve always enjoyed your channel because you’re one of “us”, a working stiff who escapes the world several times a week in your small engineering shop! No arrogant, prima Donna attitude, or shop full of ultra high dollar equipment! Keep doing what you’re doing! We love it! Cheers from North Carolina!
oh that's why I like watching Quinn's channel ,blondihacks more than Joe Pie's. I've seen some sketchy fixturing and done some myself too! but if it all turns out good, who cares how you got there?
Don’t get bothered by people criticizing you, you are not using terrible unsafe setups, so it’s ok. I really enjoy your videos and hope to see your steamengine running soon.
Exactly matey if they dont like it dont watch it. I have been watching you and bought the same milling machine 3 months ago and a wm 240 v lathe. I have learned alot from you as i have never done any engineering at all,ime an absolute beginner and have made some small simple things so far. Ime learning all the time thank you Ade 👍👍
To be honest Ade out of all the people I watch on TH-cam you take criticism the best and seem to happily accept advice on a better way of doing things. Which is rare. Theres a saying, a wise man knows to change his mind.
Good for you Ade! Jesus you could have drilled it just by holding the bed and drilled it lol I am glad you have addressed this because I didn't know the trick of putting another block upside down to get the effect you just did. So thank you Ade. Personally I would have shoved a "working" 3 2 1 block under the long zig zag foot( I don't know it's proper name) to give the desired effect. But Jeez fellers give the man a break. He's not"Mr Pete, ŷour TH-cam shop teacher" he's Ade a very experienced tool maker of the old school.. " if it's safe and works, it's ok" and working in his little shed in Pembrokeshire . Congratulations on reaching the 8000 subscribers mate it is very well deserved. You should be in the hundred thousand bracket with your content. Keep on doing what you are doing Ade, don't worry about not putting up a video if your life gets in the way, shit happens as we all know. I love your videos whenever they come out, and if you have plenty in the can so to speak then have a rest, we all need it. Especially in these hard difficult times mate. You and yours stay safe and healthy as this bloody virus ain't going away anytime soon despite what bullshit is being spouted by Boris and Co.
Spot on mate . I work a 45 hour week and do this . I am not some retired guy with a mental pension who plays around with an endless toy budget in his workshop . I think that the critics on that page are very sad individuals . Thanks for your support , Cheers Ade.
I stumbled across your channel just a few days ago and enjoyed part 2 very much. It was immediately clear you have no pretence of being educational in any way. You are just sharing the fun and every day life in the workshop. And that is a welcome addition to the educators like Blondihacks, Joe Pie and Stephan Gotteswinter. I found the video relaxing, down to earth, and at time funny. In short: entertaining. If that is your purpose you have done well.
Even the best professional people make mistakes. Those of you that put themselves out there open themselves up to criticism. I would think that viewers would cut creators a little slack for their efforts and their humanity. All of which causes me to wonder just who the critics are hoping to impress. That aside, thanks for doing what you do. My apologies on behalf of myself and the rest of insensitive humanity. Please keep cranking them out.
Good on you Ade, ignore the negative muppets. Anyone with half a brain cell would realise that you are just sharing and having fun in your shed /workshop
Sad start on this video but I agree with You. Your setup was well rigid for the operation You were doing. Total rigidity, prepared for a bomb attack is not always needed. As You say, this was Your way to do it, and You didn't start machining yesterday. Maybe machining is like hockey, football where "the best players" are the spectators. Sofa machinists, bridge sailors (those never loosening the ropes). Time 14:30. Deburring using center a drill... Why not? I've been used to use conventional spiral drills until I got the proper tool. Looking at 3 other tubers making steam engines, Joe Pie, Blondihacks and Learning Turning Metall I admit that thous(?) and inches went into one ear and out the other. But your riggings and approach to various works are highly interesting.
I have watched the channel from the start Ade and, make no mistake, most of your viewers really appreciate the time and effort you take to produce the videos. They are of high quality in cinematic terms and the content is highly informative. It's very easy to criticise the work of others from an armchair and the people who do so should ask themselves if they could do a better job. Your work is very important to many of us during lockdown so please keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Ade don't sit their apologising to numb nuts......You are VERY good and Im learning shit loads from you. I have all Warco gear too and Im really pleased with seeing the machines used to their best ability. Keep it up Taff you are doing great.
Oh heck, the internet is full of self proclaimed experts who have nothing better to do than criticize, unless of course they are out virtue signaling about what a wonderful human being they are. Now, my personal axe to grind is all the folks who use a center drill to spot holes on mill and a lathe when they are not going to use an actual center. Well, not an axe, actually I do not care if they spot their holes with a hot poker. Some of them pontificate about how that helps keep the hole nice and true, as the flutes are banging around on the edge of that 60 degree hole, LOL. Absolutely love your videos and I think I have watched all of them. So get cracking, I want MORE!
Please take no notice of the keyboard warriors out there, I personally enjoy your videos and have not time at all for those who criticise, keep up the good work, I am retired and live in OZ and love TH-cam.
Ade hope you have got your steel toecap boots on in the shed & safety helmet, not forgetting of coarse the high - viz jacket + safety harness on. I find a lot of forums to be very cliquey where they can gang up on someone & all join in & criticise, in an i know better than you way or i can pi$$ further than you. Ade take no notice of the shed Stasi, i wonder who watches the watchers that criticise. You doing a sterling job, keep up the great content mate.
I’ve been doing this for over 50 years. I do setups in many different ways. When using a mill as a drill press with very small drills, the need for heavy clamping isn’t required. The part just has to resist the small amount of circular twisting force, and the breakout jump at the end, which in this case isn’t more than a few pounds. Even the light force exerted by your clamping on that easily exceeded 350 pounds between the two clamps, far more than needed for that operation.
Do what you have to Ade, your shop, your project. Constructive criticism is always welcome, nit picking criticism is not. As you say if they don't like it don't watch it simples
My father used to say a made up Latin verse "Illegitimi non carborundum sunt" "Don't let the bastards ware you down". I enjoy watching and learning as you have fun in your shop. It's like visiting but being completely out of your way. Have fun, Bill
Hello Ade, Sorry to hear about the keyboard warriors, as we know there is a difference between theoretical knowledge and practical experience... Keep up the good work. Also, congratulations on passing the 8k subscriber count milestone. Take care. Paul,,
Hi there, following along with great interest. I have made several models in the past, I am a retired toolmaker. A great tip in general is that if you have enough depth of thread, which in your case you did, is to drill the bolt clearance size for about 2 thread pitches first. Then drill the tapping size, this is done in professional engineering practice so that when a bolt is tightened it does not pull up a thread and make the mating surface un flat. It also allows you to get a nice chamfer on the hole. This is done to car engine blocks so that the head gasket will seal properly. It also allows the bolt to find the hole and start more easily than having an instant thread. Don't worry about people who criticize you, they are probably armchair non engineers and have nothing else better to do than write comments and probably give you thumbs down. I don't know why that they want a 7 BA hole tapped for 5/16" seems excessive as the maximum strength of any bolt is 2 X diameter, any more adds nothing. Stay Safe and keep on machining. Regards from Australia. 45 C today on 24 th January 2021.
@21:13, That's 1 point waawaah! I'm glad I wasn't drinking or there would have been coffee spewing out my nose!!! It is caught on film... I'm NOT the only one who does that!!!
Sadly theres always a pedant who has a different way of doing something. Just ignore them Ade. The fact you have 8000+ subs and each vid gets 1000,s of viewings makes criticism unjust. I made some comment about your sleeve being nearthe running chuck in one video but it wasnt critisism it was a tongue in cheek dig at someone I see as a mate like you would at work with the lads. Dont let them grind you down matey you are a diamond Regards Stuart from up North.
We can all learn from criticism, but some people are just pricks so fuck em, as long as you enjoy what you’re doing I will be watching. Great channel,your a good dude bro.
Ade, I really appreciate your channel as I return to “metal bashing” after a career in Structural Engineering. I did mechanical engineering at College back in 1969/70 and remember the lecturers and technicians with fondness. Forgive the digression, criticism from Engineers is only too common, for my finals at Uni I wrote an essay on the role of the Engineer in society in which I made the point that Engineers are the only profession that queues up to stab each other in the back. Got a first for that. In practice as a Structural Engineer we often check other engineers calculations, I would never hear a checking Engineer say “I think that is a reasonable assertion”, more likely “Got him” over some minor mathematical minutiae. On a more positive note remember if you ask a group of Engineers to multiply 2x2 you will get different answers but all will say “call it 4”. Keep up your excellent work, a pleasure to watch and learn.
Thankyou Ade for the video, I love your vids I have worked for more then 45 years in a metal factory, you are as good or even better in machining metal then anyone I know 😎
The only thing to criticise is the casting and the undersize steel from Stewart. The extra two hundred subscribers were probably model engineers, wanting to learn 😈. Keep it up. From a old man with little hair, few teeth, and a mill and lathe in my shed. No I am not a clone but I am on TH-cam under my name. Please have a look.
hello aid dont listen to theese idiots that think they know everything they are nothing but trolls and people that only could hope to accomplish what you do. you have a great channell and i personally as a mid range machist learn a thing or 2 from you. so thumbs up pal and keep up your great work chum. we all love your great content aide. do not get discouraged by people that have nothing better do do than put up garbadge statements.
I love your work and the different approach you take to another milling operatosr. As we all know, there is no right way or wrong.....just different ways and I LOVE the way you look at projects and put your "spin" on things, it opens my mind to new ideas.....pls don't stop doing a great job.
Not a fan of making youtubevideos ,but man if it wasnt for you i would have scrapped my milling machine now i have rebuilded it with a 3 phase engine exatly as you did, a massive thank you from sweden
Hi ADE.. I have to take you to task, over the wobbly gangle pin! It was at the right angle but the shift plate was out of sink with the potter ring... The shaft spindle of the outer thrust bearing must be shimmed to the right tension and clamped correctly to the face of the far face of the right hand side! And use a tumble driver to re-locate the plug bridge! lol Frank...
Ade, If you're able to please 50% of the people you're as good as God (At night time hears the farmer praying for rain and the gofer praying for sunshine) CAN'T satsify everyone, KEEP UP GREAT VIDEOS !!
From the other side of the pond, I have never seen anything to criticize. You are obviously old enough to know how to work safely as you still have all your digits.
Great stuff mate. I live in Thailand and hope to go about having a small shop. I will copy you lol. I don't care what people say about you and I don't really think you do as well lol. I'm an x turner fitter from the u.k. Want to try my hand at small models. Be nice to hear from you mate
We enjoy watching whatever you do, however you want to do it! It's your private shop and there's room for others to comment but not second guess or criticize. Keep up your good work!
Hi Ade I appreciate the video, lost of good advice. I’m agree with you we don’t need overkill setup for each job. I observe the effect of your camera, the center drill look wobbling at slow speed and endmill changing size. Keep your good work, l appreciate
they all should go and work in a job shop for a bit if they want to see funny set ups even made out of wood thank you for all your very good vids ex job shop owner of over 30 years keep the vids coming oh and where is your wully pully like mine
On my DRO I also use the SDM button to keep several different datums. Each one of the 999 can be zeroed for a new datum. It also helps when drilling or machining several locations with different tools so that you can locate the positions once with the absolute measurements and store the positions for when you come back with a different tool.
In the bush, here in Australia, you do what you have to do with what you have at hand. As long as it works for the desired outcome, no one hurt or the machinery not knackered - you have to say bugger off. Good on ya
How you set the casting up from the start has worked very well for all the machining you have done . You got that clamped down really well for the small work your doing . Enjoying your work keep enjoying what your doing 👍👍
congratulations on 8k, bugger the criticisers, personally I thought there was nothing wrong with the set up as you were holding the work NOT clamping it. to me there is a difference. keep up the videos I like your explanations and reasoning behind your thought process.
Hey Adrian good day to you. Thank you for the shout out. I am sticking to the advice that you gave me which was, just have fun, I am having the time of my life. I am really yearning for a larger lathe and maybe more so in milling machine. I think my videos have improved .My confidence level is growing but as soon as my head gets too big I realize I need to learn how to part again. Most of what I am learning is to compensate for the deficiencies of the Chinese many lathe. My dream is to get a PM940M milling machine. as seen on cloud 42s videos, as well as an 11 or 12 inch X 30-40 lathe. Cheers Kimber
Ade your a good guy showing us how you go about things. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. From watching your videos I have learnt a lot. If they no better where are there videos ! 👍
I'm sorry that you feel that you have to explain yourself. In my opinion what you did was fine. I saw the thread on Model Engineer and felt that it was unduly harsh. It certainly puts me off putting videos on YT.
Hi David . If you have something to share on youtube then just do It . never mind the critics . mostly the art is not to rise to it and to sink to their level . Cheers Ade.
Gday, congratulations on the 8k subs, certainly well deserved and many more, as for the “unsafe work practice” it’s your shop and you know what you are doing, if people watch your videos then they should realise that your not going to purposely do an unsafe method and risk breaking a cutter or damage you machines or bugger the job your working on, in the real world things don’t get done to the textbook, commonsense (which you certainly have) knew that there was no problem, well that’s how I see it mate, Awesome job as always Ades thanks mate, Cheers Matty
Really enjoying your channel. Have a look in your DRO manual at Ref Datum, the scales have a referance datum and you can use this function to refind your datums again if you have a power cut or shut down for the night.
You think you've got clamp problems, last night I snapped a brand new 12mm cutter by rapid feeding into a clamp. Lost my zero on the job too I wouldnt let the kids eat today to claw back the cost! I'm an amateur and you really take the time to explain your way do doing things, it opens my eyes to things I wouldn't have thought of. I think taking it as bible is a bit closed minded, I still try my own ways, some work better than others is putting it mildly!
Best of my knowledge Ade you have never said yours is an educational channel! Any way if someone sees a fixture and thinks it doesn't look safe just don' do it simples! TFS, G :)
You're doing a grand job, enjoying your build. In the context of what you were doing, drilling for M3 screws, your clamping was perfectly adequate. For me it's a bit disappointing Stuart cast in the bearing support pillars when in full size practice they would be separate. Amazing subscriber count and growing fast, well done!
Congratulations on the sub milestone, a very enjoyable project the little engines are. Stay healthy and cheers! Sorry to hear the negativity , actually clamping needs for milling and drilling are as you put it quite different and some viewers are just picky!

I for one have benefitted hugely from watching you, and machining is part of my professional life too, as well as a hobby.

Mounting the base casting to that aluminum plate was very smart. I will use that in my machining endeavors.

Why do people watch just to post a thumbs down? If others think they are experts then why watch and even comment? Dang I enjoy watching!👍
No problems with your techniques and practice of them Ade, on the contrary; I recognize your tool room skills, others should take note, rather than criticize.
A few years ago, when our American cousins were all enthused with hand scraping machined ways, straight edges etc, several TH-camrs were showing complete garbage.
Having spent over twenty years standing by a bench, filing, fitting, scraping, then machining, press tool build and repair, I would call my self very competent, and able to comment, of course there are many more far skilled than me, and some who think they are skilled. But I can, and regularly learn new methods etc from non time served individuals. Moan over.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the Black Country.
John.
Don't let the bugger's grind you down Ade, Do it your way with the equipment you have, if it looks like it'll explode half way though the operation, then don't stand too close to it, and ware your safety squints.
G'day Ade and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 for what it's worth I think that you do a great job and your videos are informative are light hearted and you are always happy and pleasant. Like you said you are always going to get criticism on an open forum such as this, keep up the good Ade kind regards John stay safe
No worries John , Those guy's will come into their own on pancake day . Cheers Ade.
Personally, I don't want to watch videos of people who never make mistakes. If you're not making mistakes, you and us viewers don't learn anything from it.
Keep up the good work sir and don't let the buggers get you down.
Well said! if you never make mistakes it shows you never make anything . Cheers Ade.
nil illigitumus carborundum
@@ade63dug I think there are two types of people who never make mistakes on TH-cam. Those who are good at what they do, and those that are very good at video editing.😀 I just subscribed to your channel. I like your style. Take care
@@ade63dug Spot on mate.
Hi Ade, Love your channel. My experience with those small hole gages is that particularly when you have them spread out near the top of the range for that particular gage, the ball "wings" are not very round and you have to fish around by rotating the gage to get the same feel as the hole when you put it in the micrometer for a measure. It's easy to measure a little small if you don't fish around for the high spot. Pins are best for small holes, but we can't all afford a complete set! For standard sizes like 1/4, I will sometimes measured a carbide end mill shaft and use that as a pin gage since they are usually a few tenths undersize.
Yes indeed , it is tricky to mic them up correctly at the 90 degree point to the spread . I have gauges from 10 though to 100 thou only from my press tool making days . Cheers Ade.
Ade, tell the detractors to go somewhere else. I, and an awful lot of your subscribers, keep coming back for more. Personally, I look forward to the videos and I particularly enjoy watching the time you take to finish off the part. Chamfers, blending surfaces and so on. Keep it going
Hi Pierre . When i was an apprentice a wise old guy told me that if someone cuts themselves on a part that you have made then it is your fault . I have carried it on to this day . Unless it has to be sharp that is .
The attention to detail is part of the art I think . Cheers Ade.
Just wanted to give you my nod of support as concerns the YT trolls! I’ve always enjoyed your channel because you’re one of “us”, a working stiff who escapes the world several times a week in your small engineering shop! No arrogant, prima Donna attitude, or shop full of ultra high dollar equipment! Keep doing what you’re doing! We love it! Cheers from North Carolina!
Nobody died, cant see the prob. Keep on keeping on.👍
I built an S50 a few years back on just an ML7 lathe, glad I didn't post any videos lol, folks would have a fit about my home made fixtures.
oh that's why I like watching Quinn's channel ,blondihacks more than Joe Pie's. I've seen some sketchy fixturing and done some myself too! but if it all turns out good, who cares how you got there?
I watch Blondihacks too, Mr Crispin is good but he doesn't post often enough lol.
Don’t get bothered by people criticizing you, you are not using terrible unsafe setups, so it’s ok.
I really enjoy your videos and hope to see your steamengine running soon.
Exactly matey if they dont like it dont watch it. I have been watching you and bought the same milling machine 3 months ago and a wm 240 v lathe. I have learned alot from you as i have never done any engineering at all,ime an absolute beginner and have made some small simple things so far. Ime learning all the time thank you Ade 👍👍
Your positivity is much appreciated , Cheers Ade.
Ade, is an excellent practitioner of machining, I don't think you will find anyone better to learn from.
To be honest Ade out of all the people I watch on TH-cam you take criticism the best and seem to happily accept advice on a better way of doing things. Which is rare. Theres a saying, a wise man knows to change his mind.
Absolutely, only an idiot doesnt change his mind in light of new information or circumstances.
Good for you Ade! Jesus you could have drilled it just by holding the bed and drilled it lol I am glad you have addressed this because I didn't know the trick of putting another block upside down to get the effect you just did. So thank you Ade. Personally I would have shoved a "working" 3 2 1 block under the long zig zag foot( I don't know it's proper name) to give the desired effect. But Jeez fellers give the man a break. He's not"Mr Pete, ŷour TH-cam shop teacher" he's Ade a very experienced tool maker of the old school.. " if it's safe and works, it's ok" and working in his little shed in Pembrokeshire .
Congratulations on reaching the 8000 subscribers mate it is very well deserved. You should be in the hundred thousand bracket with your content. Keep on doing what you are doing Ade, don't worry about not putting up a video if your life gets in the way, shit happens as we all know. I love your videos whenever they come out, and if you have plenty in the can so to speak then have a rest, we all need it. Especially in these hard difficult times mate. You and yours stay safe and healthy as this bloody virus ain't going away anytime soon despite what bullshit is being spouted by Boris and Co.
Spot on mate . I work a 45 hour week and do this . I am not some retired guy with a mental pension who plays around with an endless toy budget in his workshop . I think that the critics on that page are very sad individuals . Thanks for your support , Cheers Ade.
If you have a lot of subscribers some of them if only a minority will criticize. I enjoy the content as it is so keep up the good work.
I stumbled across your channel just a few days ago and enjoyed part 2 very much. It was immediately clear you have no pretence of being educational in any way. You are just sharing the fun and every day life in the workshop. And that is a welcome addition to the educators like Blondihacks, Joe Pie and Stephan Gotteswinter. I found the video relaxing, down to earth, and at time funny. In short: entertaining. If that is your purpose you have done well.
Welcome aboard! You hit it spot on . Cheers Ade,
Even the best professional people make mistakes. Those of you that put themselves out there open themselves up to criticism. I would think that viewers would cut creators a little slack for their efforts and their humanity. All of which causes me to wonder just who the critics are hoping to impress. That aside, thanks for doing what you do. My apologies on behalf of myself and the rest of insensitive humanity. Please keep cranking them out.
Good on you Ade, ignore the negative muppets. Anyone with half a brain cell would realise that you are just sharing and having fun in your shed /workshop
Excellent videos, I’m especially impressed with the base plate idea as a setup
Sad start on this video but I agree with You. Your setup was well rigid for the operation You were doing. Total rigidity, prepared for a bomb attack is not always needed.
As You say, this was Your way to do it, and You didn't start machining yesterday.
Maybe machining is like hockey, football where "the best players" are the spectators. Sofa machinists, bridge sailors (those never loosening the ropes).
Time 14:30. Deburring using center a drill... Why not? I've been used to use conventional spiral drills until I got the proper tool.
Looking at 3 other tubers making steam engines, Joe Pie, Blondihacks and Learning Turning Metall I admit that thous(?) and inches went into one ear and out the other.
But your riggings and approach to various works are highly interesting.
Don’t let them discourage you I love your videos and look forward to more.
I have watched the channel from the start Ade and, make no mistake, most of your viewers really appreciate the time and effort you take to produce the videos. They are of high quality in cinematic terms and the content is highly informative. It's very easy to criticise the work of others from an armchair and the people who do so should ask themselves if they could do a better job.
Your work is very important to many of us during lockdown so please keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Ade don't sit their apologising to numb nuts......You are VERY good and Im learning shit loads from you. I have all Warco gear too and Im really pleased with seeing the machines used to their best ability. Keep it up Taff you are doing great.
Oh heck, the internet is full of self proclaimed experts who have nothing better to do than criticize, unless of course they are out virtue signaling about what a wonderful human being they are.
Now, my personal axe to grind is all the folks who use a center drill to spot holes on mill and a lathe when they are not going to use an actual center. Well, not an axe, actually I do not care if they spot their holes with a hot poker. Some of them pontificate about how that helps keep the hole nice and true, as the flutes are banging around on the edge of that 60 degree hole, LOL.
Absolutely love your videos and I think I have watched all of them. So get cracking, I want MORE!
Please take no notice of the keyboard warriors out there, I personally enjoy your videos and have not time at all for those who criticise, keep up the good work, I am retired and live in OZ and love TH-cam.
Ade hope you have got your steel toecap boots on in the shed & safety helmet, not forgetting of coarse the high - viz jacket + safety harness on. I find a lot of forums to be very cliquey where they can gang up on someone & all join in & criticise, in an i know better than you way or i can pi$$ further than you. Ade take no notice of the shed Stasi, i wonder who watches the watchers that criticise. You doing a sterling job, keep up the great content mate.
I’ve been doing this for over 50 years. I do setups in many different ways. When using a mill as a drill press with very small drills, the need for heavy clamping isn’t required. The part just has to resist the small amount of circular twisting force, and the breakout jump at the end, which in this case isn’t more than a few pounds. Even the light force exerted by your clamping on that easily exceeded 350 pounds between the two clamps, far more than needed for that operation.
Not being a machinist myself, I found the explanation of that type of clamp (at the start of your video) most interesting.
Do what you have to Ade, your shop, your project. Constructive criticism is always welcome, nit picking criticism is not. As you say if they don't like it don't watch it simples
I'm sorry you had to go through that mither. I feel privelaged that you let me come hang out in your shop. Thanks ade
My father used to say a made up Latin verse "Illegitimi non carborundum sunt" "Don't let the bastards ware you down". I enjoy watching and learning as you have fun in your shop. It's like visiting but being completely out of your way. Have fun, Bill
I just HAD to google that. lol
Hello Ade,
Sorry to hear about the keyboard warriors, as we know there is a difference between theoretical knowledge and practical experience... Keep up the good work. Also, congratulations on passing the 8k subscriber count milestone.
Take care.

Hi there, following along with great interest. I have made several models in the past, I am a retired toolmaker. A great tip in general is that if you have enough depth of thread, which in your case you did, is to drill the bolt clearance size for about 2 thread pitches first. Then drill the tapping size, this is done in professional engineering practice so that when a bolt is tightened it does not pull up a thread and make the mating surface un flat. It also allows you to get a nice chamfer on the hole. This is done to car engine blocks so that the head gasket will seal properly. It also allows the bolt to find the hole and start more easily than having an instant thread. Don't worry about people who criticize you, they are probably armchair non engineers and have nothing else better to do than write comments and probably give you thumbs down. I don't know why that they want a 7 BA hole tapped for 5/16" seems excessive as the maximum strength of any bolt is 2 X diameter, any more adds nothing. Stay Safe and keep on machining. Regards from Australia. 45 C today on 24 th January 2021.
I will not criticize you, I will just give you a lot of my suggestions. :-) Geesh.
Great job . Clamp was fine for what you were doing ! Cheers .
@21:13, That's 1 point waawaah! I'm glad I wasn't drinking or there would have been coffee spewing out my nose!!! It is caught on film... I'm NOT the only one who does that!!!
Well said Ade, absolutely no need for any form of criticism, crack on mate, I love every minute of your videos. regards Gareth
Sadly theres always a pedant who has a different way of doing something. Just ignore them Ade. The fact you have 8000+ subs and each vid gets 1000,s of viewings makes criticism unjust. I made some comment about your sleeve being nearthe running chuck in one video but it wasnt critisism it was a tongue in cheek dig at someone I see as a mate like you would at work with the lads. Dont let them grind you down matey you are a diamond Regards Stuart from up North.
We can all learn from criticism, but some people are just pricks so fuck em, as long as you enjoy what you’re doing I will be watching. Great channel,your a good dude bro.
Ade, I really appreciate your channel as I return to “metal bashing” after a career in Structural Engineering. I did mechanical engineering at College back in 1969/70 and remember the lecturers and technicians with fondness. Forgive the digression, criticism from Engineers is only too common, for my finals at Uni I wrote an essay on the role of the Engineer in society in which I made the point that Engineers are the only profession that queues up to stab each other in the back. Got a first for that. In practice as a Structural Engineer we often check other engineers calculations, I would never hear a checking Engineer say “I think that is a reasonable assertion”, more likely “Got him” over some minor mathematical minutiae.
On a more positive note remember if you ask a group of Engineers to multiply 2x2 you will get different answers but all will say “call it 4”. Keep up your excellent work, a pleasure to watch and learn.
I'm a new sub and I'm looking forward to the next part ,just got to catch up on the back catalogue.
Thanks for subbing. many hours of viewing to go back on and many more to come , Cheers Ade.
Thankyou Ade for the video, I love your vids I have worked for more then 45 years in a metal factory, you are as good or even better in machining metal then anyone I know 😎
The only thing to criticise is the casting and the undersize steel from Stewart.
The extra two hundred subscribers were probably model engineers, wanting to learn 😈.
Keep it up. From a old man with little hair, few teeth, and a mill and lathe in my shed.
No I am not a clone but I am on TH-cam under my name. Please have a look.
hello aid dont listen to theese idiots that think they know everything they are nothing but trolls and people that only could hope to accomplish what you do. you have a great channell and i personally as a mid range machist learn a thing or 2 from you. so thumbs up pal and keep up your great work chum. we all love your great content aide. do not get discouraged by people that have nothing better do do than put up garbadge statements.
I love your work and the different approach you take to another milling operatosr. As we all know, there is no right way or wrong.....just different ways and I LOVE the way you look at projects and put your "spin" on things, it opens my mind to new ideas.....pls don't stop doing a great job.
Not a fan of making youtubevideos ,but man if it wasnt for you i would have scrapped my milling machine now i have rebuilded it with a 3 phase engine exatly as you did, a massive thank you from sweden

Always enjoy watching your projects Ade, Don't feed the Trolls, It only encourages them. Keep doing what your doing, we all enjoy it :D
enjoy the videos i have watched you since you started please don't lose your drive to. make them because of one or two negative comments
You cannot please all of the people all of the time, you are producing a good quality program hence the viewing figures.
Keep up the good work.
Hi ADE..
I have to take you to task, over the wobbly gangle pin!
It was at the right angle but the shift plate was out of sink with the potter ring...
The shaft spindle of the outer thrust bearing must be shimmed to the right tension and clamped correctly to the face of the far
face of the right hand side! And use a tumble driver to re-locate the plug bridge!
lol
Frank...
great stuff really enjoyed your video keep it up.
Ade, If you're able to please 50% of the people you're as good as God (At night time hears the farmer praying for rain and the gofer praying for sunshine) CAN'T satsify everyone,
KEEP UP GREAT VIDEOS !!
From the other side of the pond, I have never seen anything to criticize. You are obviously old enough to know how to work safely as you still have all your digits.
hi its your workshop you do it the way you want as long as the result is wat you want regards bob
Great stuff mate. I live in Thailand and hope to go about having a small shop. I will copy you lol. I don't care what people say about you and I don't really think you do as well lol. I'm an x turner fitter from the u.k. Want to try my hand at small models. Be nice to hear from you mate
Spot on Dermot . good luck . Cheers Ade.
We enjoy watching whatever you do, however you want to do it! It's your private shop and there's room for others to comment but not second guess or criticize. Keep up your good work!
Hi Ade
I appreciate the video, lost of good advice. I’m agree with you we don’t need overkill setup for each job. I observe the effect of your camera, the center drill look wobbling at slow speed and endmill changing size. Keep your good work, l appreciate
they all should go and work in a job shop for a bit if they want to see funny set ups even made out of wood thank you for all your very good vids ex job shop owner of over 30 years keep the vids coming oh and where is your wully pully like mine
Hi David . the green jumper will return . Cheers Ade.
On my DRO I also use the SDM button to keep several different datums. Each one of the 999 can be zeroed for a new datum. It also helps when drilling or machining several locations with different tools so that you can locate the positions once with the absolute measurements and store the positions for when you come back with a different tool.
In the bush, here in Australia, you do what you have to do with what you have at hand. As long as it works for the desired outcome, no one hurt or the machinery not knackered - you have to say bugger off. Good on ya
How you set the casting up from the start has worked very well for all the machining you have done . You got that clamped down really well for the small work your doing . Enjoying your work keep enjoying what your doing 👍👍
congratulations on 8k, bugger the criticisers, personally I thought there was nothing wrong with the set up as you were holding the work NOT clamping it. to me there is a difference. keep up the videos I like your explanations and reasoning behind your thought process.
Quite so PR, all the pressure (if any) was downwards with no left to right or back to front stress on the workpiece
Thanks for the video Ade. Don't change. 8.2K says it all. keep safe and stay well as always.
Hey Adrian good day to you. Thank you for the shout out. I am sticking to the advice that you gave me which was, just have fun, I am having the time of my life. I am really yearning for a larger lathe and maybe more so in milling machine. I think my videos have improved .My confidence level is growing but as soon as my head gets too big I realize I need to learn how to part again. Most of what I am learning is to compensate for the deficiencies of the Chinese many lathe.
My dream is to get a PM940M milling machine. as seen on cloud 42s videos, as well as an 11 or 12 inch X 30-40 lathe.
Cheers Kimber
Just know you are an inspiration to me and many others.
You will always get some twits on TH-cam who think they know best, keep up the good work and ignore it all.
True Derek. I have broad shoulders and don't take myself to seriously . Just a bloke in a shed sharing his fun . Cheers Ade.
I enjoy watching your channel Ade, Thank you very much indeed !
You are very welcome . I try to make it a bit of fun . Cheers Ade.
Ade your a good guy showing us how you go about things. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. From watching your videos I have learnt a lot. If they no better where are there videos ! 👍
i just want to say i love the drift king shirt
saw it and subscribed lol
I have never mentioned my car status on the channel . rallying mostly . lol. Cheers Ade.
I'm sorry that you feel that you have to explain yourself. In my opinion what you did was fine. I saw the thread on Model Engineer and felt that it was unduly harsh. It certainly puts me off putting videos on YT.
Hi David . If you have something to share on youtube then just do It . never mind the critics . mostly the art is not to rise to it and to sink to their level . Cheers Ade.
Brilliant Ade. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Ada some people are never happy
Keep the video's coming 👍
Gday, congratulations on the 8k subs, certainly well deserved and many more, as for the “unsafe work practice” it’s your shop and you know what you are doing, if people watch your videos then they should realise that your not going to purposely do an unsafe method and risk breaking a cutter or damage you machines or bugger the job your working on, in the real world things don’t get done to the textbook, commonsense (which you certainly have) knew that there was no problem, well that’s how I see it mate, Awesome job as always Ades thanks mate, Cheers Matty
Thanks Matty . means a lot . they will all come to fruition pancake day .Cheers Ade.
Great video as always Ade, personally i love how you show and share your ideas ! your a great guy
Thank you so much 👍 Cheers Ade.
Let the H+S Police make their own TH-cam videos. Keep up the good work.
They're at home, waiting for TH-cam to come and video there brilliant ideas. Lol.
Really enjoying your channel. Have a look in your DRO manual at Ref Datum, the scales have a referance datum and you can use this function to refind your datums again if you have a power cut or shut down for the night.
You think you've got clamp problems, last night I snapped a brand new 12mm cutter by rapid feeding into a clamp. Lost my zero on the job too I wouldnt let the kids eat today to claw back the cost!
I'm an amateur and you really take the time to explain your way do doing things, it opens my eyes to things I wouldn't have thought of. I think taking it as bible is a bit closed minded, I still try my own ways, some work better than others is putting it mildly!
Best of my knowledge Ade you have never said yours is an educational channel! Any way if someone sees a fixture and thinks it doesn't look safe just don' do it simples! TFS, G :)
Thanks for that Graeme . Hope you are all good your end . No worries this end and still having fun in my shed . Cheers Ade.
You're doing a grand job, enjoying your build. In the context of what you were doing, drilling for M3 screws, your clamping was perfectly adequate. For me it's a bit disappointing Stuart cast in the bearing support pillars when in full size practice they would be separate. Amazing subscriber count and growing fast, well done!
Congratulations on the sub milestone, a very enjoyable project the little engines are. Stay healthy and cheers!
Sorry to hear the negativity , actually clamping needs for milling and drilling are as you put it quite different and some viewers are just picky!
Thanks Ade
Good stuff.
You are making good progress Ade. Keep it up.
nice work
Stuff them and keep on enjoying the build
