Machining things - post here the links

[DrG]

Hoo boy... that's an idea whose time came and went a couple decades ago.

As much as I love Home Improvement  (it was a favorite when I was a teen just "wishing for a normal life") for its generally positive and tolerant message... and watching it again with my son is a favorite guilty pleasure... this thing feels like just show & tell for random Monster Garage wannabes. Maybe a fishing expedition for Discovery Channel to see if they can find the next American Chopper...

Yeah, plus, I always liked the original Heidi

There's another great machinist who does in various machining things and also makes own tools in their Stefan way.

Lastly, there's one underappreciated machinist YouTube.

MyfordBoy https://www.youtube.com/user/myfordboy Plenty of metal casting and machining in the backyard to learn from.

Ramsey Customs https://www.youtube.com/user/turbocobra/featured Metal working, Fiber Laser Cutting and if you trawl back CNC Plasma cutting and general machining.

Most of his videos are about restoring and using old/vintage machinery.
He did a great series on restoring an 1890s New Haven metal planer.

Random one today EDM metal cutting so not so much Machining things but more using Electricity and Electronics to accurately cut metal with a wire  Also the human behind it is hand assembling boards to make the black magic drive boxes for sale so there is some other E topics covered. Seriously worth a watch for nerd value

Not a lot of content yet but some very well explained videos on CNC Routers and Lathes. Seriously worthy of way more subs.

Welcome to JBWorxStudio,
this channel is dedicated to the creation of fun projects for your entertainment and inspiration.
You will find content related to Woodworking, CNC Machining, CAD/CAM using Vectric, PathPilot, Eding CNC and Fusion 360. The making of jigs, fixtures and tools for your shop as well as art related objects like jewelry, pens, bottle stoppers and much more.
My focus is always the easy explanation of what I am doing and why I am doing it this way.

Disclaimer: The videos are for entertainment purposes only, seek professional advise before attempting to replicate anything I do on YouTube.
-ABOUT-
I am originally from Germany and after my metalworking, machine building printer-ship education I ventured to college and received a degree in Manufacturing and Automation. During this time I very much enjoyed working for a master Goldsmith that inspired me to see objects not only from a standpoint of functionality but also perfection and beauty.

Reports of him misusing his time traveling skills and being lost in the netherverse seem to have been wrong or at least he finally found his way back

Just stumbled over this YT-channel:

A cross-over of machining things and playing around with RF.

Example:

[Cerebus]

Burn the witch! Burn the witch!

(I'm just sore because they wouldn't let me in the RF brotherhood. They said that my robe wasn't black enough, and that I had to at least sacrifice a rabbit, and the one they gave me was sooo cute, and wrinkled it's nose at me and I refused. Fluffbun escaped with me and is now running his own small but successful audio repair business.)

A few that I can't see have been mentioned that I know of:

Edge Precision https://www.youtube.com/c/EdgePrecision (CNC, extremely informative, shows setups, the thought process of going about coming up with a machining strategy and figuring out what tooling is required, making custom tooling like custom profile cutters, machining intricate parts with deep holes, intersecting deep holes, etc)

Cutting Edge Engineering https://www.youtube.com/c/CuttingEdgeEngineeringAustralia (shows the whole process of making a particular part using manual machines, and repair work to what is usually mining equipment. Also talks about tooling/machinery/equipment)

Allistairc132 https://www.youtube.com/user/allistairc123 (welding, air arc gouging, oxy-acetylene cutting, repairing large broken things, has recently put a lot of effort into producing some high quality longer videos such as )

Fireball Tool https://www.youtube.com/c/FireballTool (can't really sum this one up apart from being really interesting, the next video to be uploaded is always a pleasant surprise as to the subject matter, and something not covered before)

CNCFrezar https://www.youtube.com/c/cncfrezar (mostly work on a large CNC gantry mill but shows other work)

Chris Maj https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisMaj (large CNC work, vertical turning too)

TheMetalRaymond https://www.youtube.com/c/ELMETALRaymondMenendez (mostly work on a large manual horizontal boring machine)

JamesPark_85 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3mbksW8n2ipLL8_MhDSA8A (various machining, usually large, often titanium)

David Wilks https://www.youtube.com/user/userwl2850 (lots of large manual lathe work, trepanning deep holes in shafts made of exotic materials such as inconel, although he hasn't posted anything in a while - hope he's OK)

That'll do for now

Someone has built a huge lathe from scratch, using basic power tools:

Random YouTube recommendation for the day after rewatching a RobRenz video on spindle rebuilding.

Welcome to Active Atom.

Watchmaking and Micromachining in a small rural town in America. We are Lance Conway and Patrick Lara, two childhood friends and business partners. We grew up in Southern California and are currently located in Yucca Valley, California.

The videos on this channel are mostly shot on location in a rural town located in the California Mojave Desert. This location is both our home and business but this is not your typical home as will be shared in these videos. Our journey is far more than just rebuilding machines and tools, it is also about the making of precision products on our mostly vintage precision machines where most of them have been restored by us.

Come follow us as we share our journey with you.
