Nice work. We often get great value out of these small and well thought-out builds. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

Love it! Could you provide more info about your hydraulic press? Did you make it? Sounded like a max of 40 tons? I've been meaning to get into hydraulics so I could build a hydraulic forging press. This one looks amazing.

so what youre missing is the flux, if you flux your metals then hit it with the torch itll work, it also looks like youre too cold

Use silicone bronze rod, works well. Same stuff you TIG braze with.
@notanymore9471 9 күн бұрын
You want deoxidized copper rod.
@OLDSKUULGARAGE 10 күн бұрын
If you use a phospho-copper rod for brazing your will get a more fluid puddle for better penetration. Make sure you have adequate gas flow but not too much. Hope this helps.

Might want to try AC too for extra cleaning, might make a difference to the porosity, and, add less filler - and/or, try pulse to get it to wash in better...

@@darenscott1718 About an inch along from the start, by the clamp anvils...6 pores, and again by the end of the bead, another 6 pores.... Dirt, loss of shield, not using deoxidised filler or basemetal etc etc. A flux may help?
@darenscott1718 3 күн бұрын
@@paulmeersa7162ok, now I see it. That's a shielding gas problem with this particular joint set up. The gas is heavier than air so wants to flow down the joint away from the puddle. Turning up the cfh will help eliminate that. If this were a fillet weld the gas would be trapped at the weld puddle and there would be no porosity. Using flux would likely make the problem worse, or cause other problems, when using the TIG process.

Great machine! I built a 50" wide 40 ton press brake last year. Not near as hulking as yours, but works perfectly well for full width bends up to 3/8" mild steel. It's surprising how much I end up using it and wonder how I ever got by without it!

Marking the spots where the press brake would need to line up was a smart move. What do you use the Blanchard grinder for? That seems like an unusual shop addition to me, more suitable for a specialty shop, but maybe you are one??

No plasma cutter or is oxy acetylene a more advantageous choice for some reason?
@dougthompsonmetalcraft 18 күн бұрын
The goal was to produce a live edge that has a bit of an organic feel, so the choice was primarily aesthetic. We did not grind the edge.

ingenius machine and use, your start stop handle is a great design, coupled with the measurement system you have is sopt on, proven by the bending of 3 pieces.. A2x2 solid bar bend sounds amazing and should you ever need to do somehting like that please commit it to video, I would love to see just how much your machine can do. Well designed and built.

The hand rest for the valve is genius. The measurement gauge is a great idea. Incredible that it didn't sound like the motor labored at ALL when bending that 1x2 the hard way. Very cool! Thank you so much for sharing it! Very clear that you've got some keen metalworking insight so I look forward to your future videos. Also I really love the look of your shop! Mine is similar: partially fabrication/welding but mainly CNC machine tools (two VMCs and a CNC lathe).
