Cones in the shed with Aaron ! Good one Mate 👍
All it would need is a draw tube off the side 😅😊
@@TedRoza 🤣🤣🤣
G'day Max. Jesus mate, I'm stupid enough without smoking cones. If I did that I'd have no brain cells left at all. My brain is already like "Homer Simpson". Good to hear from you Max. No doubt the weather over there is bloody beautiful. Unlike the shitty Melbourne. Cheers, Aaron.
And a water pot Ted ha ha ha
Just like that song "smoke more cones".
Thank for the video Aaron, Great to see you are keeping busy
G'day Chris. Thanks for watching mate. Yes keeping very busy at work and getting little time in my shop. Hopefully the weather will improve here and give me some inspiration to get out there. Cheers mate, Aaron.
Thanks Aaron. I did similar my last little job. I was actually making new bushes for the idler wheel that runs against the drive built for my lathe and I had a piece of scintered bronze stock in the chuck. I turned it down to the outside diameter of the large flange. I wanted to make two so I had to come in and turn the small diameter down to size so I turned twice the length but of course that means I cut the flange off so I had to move over another section & start again! 🥴 So we all do it from time to time. .
G'day Tony and thanks for watching. I'm glad to hear that it's not just me who makes these silly mistakes from time to time. But as my old mate Peter Pilbeam says to me, "the bloke that hasn't made a mistake hasn't made anything". Cheers, Aaron.
Improperly memorized drawing values: We've all been there. Some of us visit more often.
Hey Robert. Lovely to hear form you mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes you make a very valid point. I think I've got early onset dementia (joke ha ha). Cheers mate, Aaron.
Gday Aaron, great job mate. An alternative to not having a sine bar available is to set up your indicator on the quill or the job calculate the opposite site of the angle and use that amount as your dial drop when setting your compound angle. Keep up the great work big fella.
Hey buddy, now that’s an excellent “Pro Tip”. Thanks for that. I have also used the DRO before. But old girl doesn’t have one. Cheers 🍻
Good to see you back in action. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Hello @homemadetools thank for sharing. I really appreciate it. I hope my viewers check out and support your page. Cheers, Aaron.
G'day Azza mate, nice to see you back on here mate, yeah dropping a bollock is normal in every shop 👍
G'day Ralfy. It's lovely to hear from you mate. Thanks for stopping by mate. I'm still following along on the television every now and then. I liked the wheel rescue video you did. Especially the boogie woogie music you played. Was that from the Brendan Kavanagh (aka Dr.K) on TH-cam? Cheers, Aaron.
G’day mate. Thanks for your time and the video. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Hi Mark. Thank you watching and commenting mate. I appreciate the support. Cheers, Aaron.
Welcome back m8 loved the video too.
G'day Troy. Thanks for support mate. I truly appreciate it. Regards, Aaron.
Hey mate 👋🏼👋🏼
Glad to see you getting in a bit of tool time.
Only thing I’ve done in the last coupla months was a humungous rolling frame got #2 DiL’s giant fish tank ( about 900kgs when full)
😵💫😵💫
I love the ‘mixed marriage’ twist metric and imperial.
Still easier for me to ‘know’ what a thou’ feels like …. irrespective of the gross dimension
🤣🤣🤣
So…..
“ 50 mm dia plus a coupla tenths press fit” still works for me.
Finally got off the pot ( NO…. not ganja 🤣), and joined a local model railway club… need the inspiration to finish my ‘30 year loco 😎
How’s the ultra-modern Polytech going? You still gang boss in the shop?
Fond Regards,
Your Most Unworthy
Monkeys Balls Student,
Grasshopper
G’day Robert. It’s good to hear from you mate. That’s excellent news to hear that you’ve joined the model railway club. Lots of like minded people there. I hope they inspire you to get cracking in your build mate. That rolling frame sounds like a mammoth build. We take it for granted the weight and power in water don’t we.
I’m doing well mate. Lots to discuss when we talk next over the phone. Cheers grasshopper master 👍🍻
Nice one Aaron, good to see you again, must have been a pain to make a round thing out of a square thing, all that intermittent cutting!!! And the weather in Melbourne isn't half as depressing as the weather in the UK 😂
Cheers Ian
The only place in Australia 🇦🇺 that has 4 seasons in a day 😅😅😅
G'day Ian. Lovely to hear from you mate. Yes I hate intermittent cutting, I blew an insert roughing that steel out. You have a point with the weather. However, the boat footage you uploaded it was on a beautiful day. Cheers mate. Aaron.
You're not wrong Ted. The weather here has been dismal. So bloody depressing. We are in spring now and its cold, wet and miserable. I need to take a teaspoon cement and harden up LOL.
Great little quick job Aaron :) Hope all is going well with you!
G'day Adam. It's lovely to hear from you mate. Yes it was a quick little job. Did it over 2 Saturdays. I hope your doing well up there in NSW? Cheers, Aaron.
@@AaronEngineering yep doing well up here, starting a new job on Monday - will be an assistant to the Sydney counterparts in your day job! 😁 Looking forward to the next video!
Nice one Aaron
Thank you, I appreciate it. Aaron.
G'Day Mate.
That bit of steel did sound hard as.
G'day Micheal. Thanks for the support mate. Yes, that steel was bloody hard as and a bit*h to machine. I chewed through an insert making this part. Cheers, Aaron.
Even with Imperial measurement, I'm still converting it back to Metric 😅👍
Ha ha ha you know me all too well Peter. Give me metric any day mate. Cheers 🍻
And I convert metric to imperial. :)
You are right. Seems like a lot of creators are taking a break. Not much to watch lately. Glad you are back in the driver's seat.
G'day Tom. Yes, I have noticed that also. However speaking of that, I need to pull my finger out and watch your latest video mate. Oh, I hope you enjoyed seeing your sticker on my board and the humpty dumpty one you made for me. Cheers buddy, Aaron.
@@AaronEngineering You got a good smile from me when you posted up the Humpty Dumpty sticker.
Really nice work! Good to see you back.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support mate. Cheers, Aaron.
G'day Aaron. Good to see you on, had to have a second look just to make sure it was you 😢😅😅😅 ... At least you made use of your 3D Printer.
The taper turned out ok.
Is it my imagination or did the Centre drill jump about 1/16 " ?
Ted
G'day Ted. Yes it is me mate, the one and only ha ha. Good pick up Ted, I noticed that centre drill jump up slightly at the start too when I was editing the footage. Maybe my tail stock is slightly lower then the actual centre. I actually want to make some new feet pads for my lathe and re-level it. Cheers, Aaron.
How can you hate the numbers that took us to the moon and beyond? 😊😅
Yes, I'll give you that. It definitely was amazing achievement. All of my buddies in the USA always give me crap when I bring that up. Cheers and thanks for watching. Aaron.
Glad you were able to save the day. (Even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while.) Enjoy!!
Thanks buddy 🙏. I love that saying about the blind squirrel. I hadn’t heard that one before. Cheers 🍻
Good to see you Aaron. How's the ebike traveling, getting a workout still?
Hey Aaron. I'm still riding the e-bike. However, I'm not riding to Heidelberg anymore. Working back out at Sunshine, but still riding on the weekend weather permitting. This Melbourne weather has been very depressing for the past 3 months. Cheers buddy, Azza.
@@AaronEngineering could not agree more on the weather, absolutely terrible. Hopefully we get a full summer this year and can all shed some kegs!
@@aarondcmedia9585 We went away for a few nights to Echuca. I had a blast riding up there everyday. I think I did about 100km. Cheers mate.
@@AaronEngineering Awesome!
Nicely done! Q: How'd you set the indicator point on C.L. of the spindle, when sweeping the 3D part? Also, I think its time for me to get a 3D printer..
Hello and thanks for watching. I set the indicator roughly the same height as the cutting tool on my tool post. Yes, I printed that on my little Neo printer. I actually did a review of it on my other channel th-cam.com/video/HvWLYcbrbzc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=S4EyyNE95WKjxdZ_
Hi Aaron, how come you didn't put cutting oil on the boring? Sheer curiosity on my part, I usually smother the victim in oil, but that is just me. Good onya
Hi Glen. I usually use cutting oil / coolant on my high speed steel tools. However, on carbide tools I usually send them dry. With carbide tools, it is best to either use no coolant or lots of "flood coolant". It doesn't like to be intermittently sprayed etc...Hope this makes sense mate. Cheers, Aaron.
Thank you so much. Aaron.
