Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Impressive stuff, but the way he uses his table saw scares the crap out of me. I've never seen somebody set a saw on the floor and hunch over it like that. I just imagine something going wrong, then instinctively putting your hand down to stop from falling forward..... ugh.
This man goddam drew out a speed control circuit board, traced it onto copper, hand etched it, soldered all the components and then wired it up. How much more OG does it get then that my lord if that isn't the definition of artisan or at least paragon of your craft then I don't know what is.
This is a follow-up on a video which I too was privileged to encounter due to a post here on this sub a year ago. Building a lathe from industrial scrap
I had subscribed to that channel instantly after watching that video. The channel went quiet, but a few days ago this new video popped up and I know this sub will love this.
Again just an FYI: I am not the video creator. I am just sharing it here.
I make things out of metal, by hand (and tool), for a living.
I have done fine for myself.
I watched the video.
I am a useless slug.
To make a clamp, first you have to make a clamp.

Super awesome idea and great execution. I hope he eventually upgrades it to a collet system though. Jacobs chucks are not meant for milling, only drilling. They don't take lateral loads well.
Dudeβs gonna build a spaceship from trash! π€©
This is so impressive. The design and structure fabrication was cool enough - he has some clever elements in the design and I like how he casually made a couple jogs along the way. But then I was blown away by the hand built circuitry and programming. That combination of knowledge and skills is just impressive
Amazing build.
Of course the rigidity can be improved but the general arrangement is very good.
