- Gday, this video I get the Rotating base casting machined, im extremely happy with how it turned out, this casting was missing and I found a suppler that had some new old stock here in Australia and I also got the wheel guard, I hope you enjoy this video and please leave a thumbs up and comment, thanks for watching, cheers Matty...
Hi Matty ,
Fiddly bugger to make !
I have a set of 1/16 letter and number stamps ( i think 1/16 wide and about 1/8 high )
I'm more than happy to loan them to you if you can use them to do your dials .
Gday Ian, thanks for the offer mate, I’m still haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet, I have one more dial to make that I know of, it’s a big project this one mate, thanks again, cheers Matty
That was very tedious work but the result was worth it. Just thinking about the numbering, can a guy acid etch numbers into it, have them made on a vinyl cut out machine? Then use it like a stencil. Excellent job!
Gday Norris, that’s something well worth thinking about to etch the numbers on, I hadn’t thought of that, thanks for the idea, cheers Matty
Part looks good, I agree that the graduation lines came out very well. I know you may have already finished the lines and numbering but I remember Patrick from Active Atom was using some special ink/paint designed specifically for lettering and numbering. Can't remember what the name of the stuff was but if you ask Patrick he would know.
Use metal number stamps and make a jig to hold them in position. Easy process really.
Hello Matty,
Great work today... I was so surprised that center part of the casting was usable, it looked so far out... The graduation lines came out very good.
Cheers
Paul,,
Gday Paul, I honestly didn’t think the centre of the casting was going to be ok, I almost got rid of it when I started, lucky I didn’t, cheers Matty
Way to work through a difficult situation....to quote somebody famous...."fits like a bum in a bucket!"
Only way to go mate
G’day Matty. Good to see you were able to recover the spigot, now that had a bad casting problem. Nice work on the graduations, very tedious and as for the numbers if you’re not sure you’re up for it see a local jeweller. Great results for the stops, would have liked to have seen at least a little bit of the machining, don’t worry about stretching the video series out.
Cheers
Peter
Gday Peter, it certainly had problems but it machined really nice, sorry I didn’t film the making of the stops, I’m trying to not flood the channel with making all the small components, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Nice save with the rough casting. That turned out well. You can't worry about the occasional foop, they seem to be inevitable.
Gday Robert, I certainly got lucky with the casting, i really didn’t think I was going to save it, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Hi Matty, Like Gibbsey9, I numbered my sensitive pillar drill table, over 25 years ago, my bum cheeks will never be the same, can't remember the correct setup, but the 3 secrets, I learned are (1) do a practice run on some thing first of the same diameter, (2) the blow with the hammer has to be of a consistent bash if you have to hit it a second time they are not the same....(3) and the most important one, use a SMALL strip of sellotape on the area where you need to place the numeral, this allows you to use your finger to lightly indent the sellotape and realign the workpiece or the stamp to the exact spot, yes it takes longer, but the job comes out as if you had taken it to the Jewelers. You will get a woody if you do it you self.
Gday, thanks for the advice mate, I really appreciate it, I’m still thinking which way I’m going to go yet and there’s a few options, easiest way would be to pay to get it done and yer I know that’s not the way to do and it still might turn out shit, hopefully I can come up with a plan soon, thanks again for the advice and thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matty
Looks great. Do you have any awards/trophy shop near you? If so take it to them so they can engrave those numbers for you.
Gday Tom, I’m on the hunt around town to see if I can find someone to do it, theres no hurry to get it done so I want to find the right person to do it, take care mate, cheers Matty
That's an excellent idea Tom
Very nice work Matty - love the comments about the horn on the jellyfish :-)
It's really coming together, those graduations are just perfect, and so are the steel end stops. Very impressive.
Gday Craig, I’m extremely happy with how the graduations turned out, way better then I expected, the stops where really easy to make but without the rotary table it would’ve been a bit of a challenge, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Excellent job matty, great looking part's.
Matty,
It's not a casting defect on the shaft.
It's a lubrication reservoir mate.
Cheers Eric
at 15.55.....A vernier caliper IS NOT FOR SCRIBING!!!!!! It is for measuring only
It can be, if you want it to be. Many people use them for marking out.
@@flyerphil7708 only amatures, never tradesmen!
@@flyerphil7708 only if you are an amature, never if you are a tradesman!
@@flyerphil7708 only if you are an amateur, a craftsman would have used a wobbler to pick up off the finished edge
Coming along great . Just caught up with your lost footage one ! Cheers .
Thanks Max, that footage took some finding in the computer, frustrating to say the least, cheers Matty
Wow, Matty! Those graduations turned out awesome 🤩! That part certainly adds some bling to your T&C grinder. Glad it worked out despite the crooked casting.
Gday, it was a time consuming job to do all the lines but it turned out really good, nothing like a bit of bling to set the show off, thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matty
Nice work Matty. That Quorn T&C is coming along nicely mate. You've bloody come a long way with that project. Congratulations Matty, I'm super happy for you mate. Cheers, Aaron.
Thanks for the kind words mate, I’ve learning heaps during this build but at times I’m thinking I’ve bitten of to much, thanks for watching, Cheers Matty
Spectacular!
If memory serves me correctly, I am thinking mr Pete may have done a good video on punching in the numbers on a dial with a slick jig. Thinking I also saw another tuber do it as well, but cant remember his name of my head.
Gday Craig, I’ll check that out, thanks for the heads up mate, cheers Matty
Hi Matty, came out well considering the casting. Those graduations are excellent. Regards Kevin
Gday Kevin, I had my doubts with the spigot but it turned out really good in the end, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Looking good, Matty!
In his book, Prof. Chaddock wrote that this casting was made of a free-machining cast steel. Clearly there must have been foundry problems, because yours is bronze.
As Craig pointed out, a rotary table is a mighty handy accessory for a mill. I am blown away with admiration for the work of the professor, who had neither mill nor rotary table, and did all his machining on an old Drummond lathe the same size as the Myford ML7 or the popular Chinese mini-lathes!
Gday Russell, I believe there was trouble with hard spots in the castings and that’s why they are bronze, I’ve seen many photos of the rotating base made for steel round stock which look good as well, when you read the book there’s so much work that goes into setups doing this all on a lathe, I’m being spoilt having the mill that’s for sure, thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matty
The Prof did have the advantages of training and experience that allowed him to overcome any disadvantages of lack premier grade machinery. There is a Spanish model maker on TH-cam who shows equally well what can be done with the most basic of equipment if one has the aptitude.
@@chrisstephens6673 Agreed. There will always be those who will build a masterpiece using a hammer, a nail file and a cigarette lighter, and rightly earn our incredulity!
Prof. Chaddock exercised many inspired design choices in the Quorn T&C grinder to ensure it could be completed with limited machinery. This was appropriate to the level of equipment available in the workshop of the typical model engineer of his day. Matty's lathe, mills, rotary table and other accessories were beyond the wildest dreams of most of those attempting this build 50 years ago.
All this takes nothing away from Matty's systematic growing of his skills (including videography) by solving each successive problem with what he has available, to the point where he will complete a useful machine while many others have given up or not even made an attempt.
@@russelldold4827 Matty is one for sure that will finish his. 💪👍
Matty, I wish you had flooded us with all of your build, its the agricultural way you tackle each job, and the curly bit are missing....EG the bloody ball handles...show the mistakes we are human downunder ,not like top of the globe upper-crust machinists, it saves stuff being thrown across the workshop, sorry for the crack, stay safe and just be you its cool. Beagles.
Gday, I haven’t made any ball handles yet, this is the way I received the Quorn, I’ve only machined the spindle and rotating base, I’ll hopefully be making ball handles to finish it off, cheers Matty
Matty I agree the little knurled tap wheel is great. Joe is one of my favorites. If you watch his latest video of the mini lathe and the cross slide you will see an excellent way to cut the groves with the mill while it is still in the dividing head. Another great video you have produced for us here in Texas.
It looks like we are running neck and neck on our Quorn builds. I purchased my casting set 25 years ago and 10 years ago decided I had to finish a minimum of one piece a year or it would never get done. I have been employed as a machinist for 33 years and can say without hesitation that it is a challenging project to build. I'm building mine up in interior Alaska and am curious as to how many finished or in progress Quorn grinders exist on the face of the earth.
Gday Eric, this certainly is a challenging build, I’m not a qualified machinists and only self taught, I’m learning a lot during that’s for sure, it’s very time consuming I found but it’s nit worth rushing it, I would say after reading quite a few forums that there’s a lot out there that are started or still in raw castings, people say it’s a life time long build and I’m really starting to believe that theory, I’d like to see some pictures of your Quorn, thanks for watching, cheers Matty
I stamped those numbers with cheap Chinese numbers..... Can't for the life of me remember how I did it, but it came out really good.
Gday, I’m still thinking of a way to put the numbers on yet, there’s a few options I just have to work it out, thanks for watching, Cheers Matty
Makes me shudder to see small Taps used without lube, a sure way to break them.
Very nice looking part. The graduations came out very well.
Thanks Rustinox, I’m really happy with the end results, just hope everything else goes as good, cheers Matty
Matty, you have the patience of a bloody saint! Scratching out those increments must have been tedious to say the least. Utter top job mate! Shout out from the UK -
(AKA whingeing pommies! lol) :)
Gday Dudley, the increments was a testing part that’s for sure, but In saying that I’m very happy with the results, thanks for watching mate , cheers Matty
Hi Matty, That's a cracking job, love it. Stay well, Kind Regards, Mike
Gday Mike,this part turned out much better then I expected that’s for sure, take care, cheers Matty
Beautiful just beautiful!!! Great job Matty!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much Yves
Very nice bit of work Matty, made for a very interesting video. You have to appreciate all the finicky work you put into that. When you were marking the divisions, I was thinking, imagine having to pay someone to do that method. Cheers mate!
Thanks, it was very time consuming, few hours work in it and not hard to bugger up at the same time, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Looks fabulous Matty, those graduation are worth the effort, they look perfect.
Gday Nigel, thanks for the kind words, I’m really happy with how they have turned out thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Matty, the new patron saint of patience.
When i cut my graduations i used a 10thou thick 1" dia slitting saw and a spin indexer. Did all the 10 degree using a bed stop, then all the 5s again with a bed stop and finally all the singles. I figured if i missed any one it wouldn't show as each successive cut was shorter than the mistake it was recutting. I used a saw because i figured if i had to resharpen it the width of the cut would always be the same no matter how deep i went, unlike a tapered cutter.
With your numbering problem, an adaptation of my stamp guide and stamp modification should work, i wish i had thought of it back then, instead of doing it freehand.😢

Ps, dont buy the cheapest stamps you can get, some of the cheap ones are hot formed and quite blunt, the better ones are ground and form a clearer number. You only need numbers so the extra expense is not so bad. Whatever you go for, see if you can see the end that matters in any picture and judge for yourself. Although good old ones are often better than crap new. Isn't it always so?😉
Gday Chris, I did screw up and made the “10” and “5” lines the same length but I’m just going to have to used to that, I really haven’t made up my mind on how to do the number yet, a viewer suggested etching to digits on and I’m kinda liking that theory, just have to think about it for an while, I think I’ll have a few questions to ask you shortly so be prepared mate, thanks for watching, cheers Matty
@@MattysWorkshop if i can help try my youtube email ingeniumtoo@gmail.com
but don't expect the right answer to any question😢
Great job Matty, Im surprised you saved that casting in one piece. Thanks for sharing
Gday Paul, I’m surprised myself to be honest, I didn’t think it was going to be ok but all was good in the end, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
I am enjoying this build Matty and looking forward to how you overcome all the obstacles. As I would like to build one of these.
Thanks Stuart, I think you really enjoy building a Quorn, I have learnt heaps so far with the little I have done, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
do you sharpen your own drill bits?
I do yes, there’s no drill sharpening services around here, cheers
what do you do when they get dull? just replace with new?
what do you use to sharpen them, what about mills?
looks awesome Matty .
Thanks very much Ades, cheers mate
Good job Matty.
Yep the most challenging part is to engrave the numbers, straight and evenly spaced, no idea how you you are going to do it.
I think an engraver would charge an arm and a leg!
Gday Willem, I’m going to have to do a lot of practicing to engrave the digits but I’m looking around the local area to find someone that knows what there doing, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
Years ago I made a quadrant scale for my BP clone and scribed the lines like you.
Entrusted an engraver in Perth to put the digits and yes not straight.
Brian from Ma.Fantastic my friend it does look neat Thanks Besafe
Thanks very much Brian, it has turned out much better then I thought, thanks for watching mate, cheers Matty
You've made a superb job of that Matty 8-)
Thanks bill, I’m really happy with this so far mate, cheers Matty
Nice work, thanks for sharing
Thanks very much
Shit that has come out nice 👍 thanks for sharing
Thanks Jason, so far so good mate
Your patience should be heritage listed!
Thanks mate, it was a bit testing but well worth the effort, cheers Matty
Thanks Matty, enjoyed.
Thanks for watching, cheers
Lots of patients, sure looks good though!
Gday Tom, I did take a fair bit of patience but well worth the effort, thanks for watching mate, Cheers Matty
Looking so good. Great work
Thanks Kimber, so far so good mate, cheers Matty
luv ya work mate cheers
