Always fascinating to watch you make something but even more so when I have an example of the finished item sitting in front of me! The drill bit extension was a great idea, I was wondering how you were going to do those holes. Cheers, Alan.
Fascinating build from cutting the pattern to completed project. I have to admit that I am surprised that you don't add lettering such as MFB, MyFord Boy, on these castings.
I like the idea of the magnets on the wood to keep the man in place, What did you use for the bade. as many years ago on a smaller saw I bought I used a braided wire that could cut balsa wood. Also nice of you to show how to make a simple drill extension, I do go mad when my extra long drill bits are miss placed , to many hiding places in a home hobby shop. Anyway i think it is very handy to have a selection of extra long drill bits.
Laser cuts at an angle, never vertical. with correct offsets you can have a pretty decent draft angle when sandwiching layers. You can even play with focus/distance/settings and see which gives you better draft angle.
I use an enamel paint by pheonix precision paints, thinned with fast drying thinners and applied with an airbrush. I don't use any primer or undercoat.
Thanks for the video. Could you tell the capacity of that furnace for low melting alloys? The specs would suggest about 200ml but your casting looks much bigger than that. Thanks.
At first the 3Dprinted part threw me off. But it is the table that does not fit at all at the end, and those large screws. Table would be so much better if cast and then surfaced. screws could be blind heads with bolts from the underside.
I was using ViaCad before. Recent Windows updates have messed up the visuals. I updated to the latest ViaCad and found some of the tools have been removed and are only available in the pro version at extra cost. I got a refund. It's F360 for me now.
@@myfordboy It's getting horrible how the software companies are trying to claw every dollar from end users. Removing features so you can pay more is a bait and switch type of trick. they hooked you and now want you to pay for something you had.
I asked for a refund under their 30 day policy. Had to ask several times without success. I said I would make a TH-cam video showing the issue and got the refund within a couple if hours!
Models aren't that much of my thing, but I can appreciate the crafts involved highly 👍
thats a nice build. lots of good pattern making ideas there.
Really enjoying the quiet time during these pleasant updates. Just the sound of model making. Relaxing......
That’s fabulous. Really nice piece.
Elegant approach to all your projects. What a joy to watch.
That is just lovely!
Nice one looks great 👍 thanks for sharing

It does have MFB on the frame. th-cam.com/video/x_0Nc0nKc3M/w-d-xo.html
@@myfordboy sorry, I missed that. I am glad that you include that so you can get the recognition you deserve.
I was wondering when you would show this. It turned out really nice.
A wonderful project!

I would have liked a blade that actualy cuts. Mine is made from 2 thin strips of duct tape stuck back to back.
Awesome job. Health and Safety would have a fit with the exposed pulleys though ;-)
Another great product like your video.
Very nice. Always enjoy what you're making.
Great work

Can you do a aluminum casting with a lot of a small and complecated details and a very nice surface finish .. please 🙏🙏
There is something more with more decoration coming soon.
@@myfordboy thank you for replying ❤️
We will be waiting for it ✌️✌️
Love it!
Wonderful!
You make it look so easy, I should try it some time ;-)
Me encantó su trabajo tan perfecto. Muchas gracias
No good .it misses one crucial part ! A small cast finger next to a bandsaw ! Remember -finger doesnt fall far from the saw!
Hi, hope you're well, question, what paint did you use to paint the casting? I've tried to paint zamak castings with no success
I use an enamel paint by pheonix precision paints, thinned with fast drying thinners and applied with an airbrush. I don't use any primer or undercoat.
So charming 🙂
Nice job! I wonder if bandsaw model could be printable lol
it could be 3d printed.
Muy bueno !!!
Thanks for the video. Could you tell the capacity of that furnace for low melting alloys? The specs would suggest about 200ml but your casting looks much bigger than that. Thanks.
The crucible is 50 dia and 150mm tall so I make the capacity nearly 300ml.
Thanks!
What laser cutter do you have?
It's one of the K40 variants. Air assist and new honeycomb bed added
Nice little piece! Where did you get the fancy jenny caliper you used to mark out the table? I have been after something similar for years...
Marking tool: ban.ggood.vip/VU0G
@@myfordboy Many thanks. The link gives a 404 error, will keep looking...
Looks like it's not sold there any more.
I KNEW THESE TOOLS WERE MADE BY GIANTS !
Nice

Good one!
Is the operator a self-portrait? :-D
No I am slimmer.
@@myfordboy Ah! You always stay away from the camera so I thought this might be a little clue. You remain the man of mystery :-)

This is replica of a 1930s toy it is not meant to be a scale model.
Fusion 360, you moved away from Alibre?
