Smells amazing too.. ***ssniffffff*** ... I beel fetter laready

for $979 (with my military discount) I bought the Miller Face Shield PAPR - 288356. Very similar advantages, but you do have to wear a harness becasue the battery and filter are remote. I pefer this honestly, but it does decrease convenience. But, BUT, I have a beard. A duck dynasty kind of beard. And the miller doesn't make me trim or shave it.

Good lighting!

Yeah this was my first thought as a mechanic lol

Use a bar of soap. Rub it on the running belt

Your focus on video improvement is paying off. I didn't think you were lacking in any way before, but this video is really top notch.

For our V1 Powercore I had a similar issue. Made a relatively simple mistake with our extrusion die based on some CAD that did not match a prototype we recieved. Dumbly trusted the CAD and had to do 2000 reworks by hand to get the parts right and shipped out. Haven't made the same mistake since haha -Cooper

I was gonna say brake clean before the video ended lol

I wish I was closer to help! 😮

Back in the old days. Frigidaire washing machines used an oil impregnate belt. Due to no longer using a clutch. Maybe you can sell your belt???

Ass

Easily got my thumbs up! It's very rare anymore to see a business provide such dedication and otherwise responsibility to its customers. Also a thumbs up for NO stupid or redundant music, quite detailed information , and just an overall down-to-earth video that's interesting to follow along. Thank you for sharing

0:55 - "I will never be reworking screws again." "I would not say such things if I were you."

“I’m not gonna get into who’s at fault for that, because it’s me.” 😂

Sounds like it’s time to teach a close family member or friend how to use the drill press. 😂

God gave us fingernails.

camera upgrades are lit, nice video aswell!

I recvd a set of these last week w/o the counter sink. Any reason why I can't counter sink the hole a little deeper to account for a screw head? Seems reasonable.

Thx Andrew . Impressive,honest and great business plan.

I love how straightforward and take-responsibility you are. It's a trait that's far too uncommon.

Thank you for the update! For those of us that received a preorder without the countersink, is there anything we need to do to request the replacements? Or will they be sent out automatically?

Brake cleaner also remove scratches from clear plastic covers.

Posting for your analytics :) and a quick question. So those of us that have already received our bearing guides (two sets in my case) will automatically receive new rails with the countersinks from you and dont need to request them?

Just a suggestion. But maybe it's time for an updated build video for your vices since so much has changed and been updated. Would be great to go to one video to get everything we need to watch on how to assemble your vice, build the jaw, installing the swivel mount, installing the fast action handle and installing the bearing guides :) I realize you're going to be busy building fixing the guides but maybe after the holidays that is something you could plan on doing. I know you said you wanted to step up your video filming game. This would be the perfect opportunity!

I haven't installed mine yet. Heck I haven't even built my bench yet. Ill look at my 2 sets of guides and see whats what. Thanks for alerting us to this. Shit happens.. we forgive you!

If you would a prototype the part with a 3-D printed part, maybe you would’ve caught the missing chamfer. You could make a little fixture that is 3-D printed and include it with the kit. Great video look forward to your next one.

I know you have been looking more closely at your production, so I just wanted to say your camera quality on this video is great. The shots of you with the out of focus background look great.

Having just bought a small laser cutter it seems a simple laser cut jig for installing the new guides might be a nice addition , and in the quantaties you make your vices im sure you could get a bulk discount making them very economical maybe down to a couple of dollars each.

Being a one man show must be a bear.

People make mistakes for me in admitting to them is the upmost importance and you are making them right that is everything to me. I don’t expect people to be perfect, but I really appreciate when somebody admits there was a mistake and tries and does their best to fix those mistakes we’re human

A Quality Manager I knew said, "In production, there's something hitting the fan every day."

The buzzing sound you hear in some recordings? It's probably due to double-recording the audio with the lavalier mic and the one in the camera simultaneously, but with ~3 ms delay between them. That or a direct bounce form the ceiling. If hard-wired, that would correspond to a 1 m distance.

bro "belt conditioner" is snake oil

Break Cleaner

Talk powder maybe? I would dab it on a rag and then move the belt and let the rag drag over. You wouldn’t want to surplus of it, but just enough to apply under the surface. I think that grit would suck up the moisture and as it begins to do that it would fall off naturally. Just a guess, though. Also, I made my comment before I even got 10 seconds of the video. I’m currently taking apart a few snowblowers and brake cleaner is on the ready. I use it to clean up a lot of stuff but I will spray it over the belts so that’s a natural go to as well.

Couldn't you just make a basic punch-template of the 3 hole locations right from the start, do the smallest middle-hole first, then drill out the larger ones after? Since a forstner has a center-follower. It feels like this is complicating by artificially forcing a specific order of operations that now needs a drill-guide, but is that necessary?

The oil will never come out of belts. Change the belts and clean the pulleys.

Question, why have the insert?

Carb and choke cleaner works very well especially if the oil is baked on

Oven cleaner surprisingly works very well also

you wasted your wood hahah had me dying id sell a sticker if I was you that was funny

Awesome! Congratulations, Andy. Definitely living the dream! Very happy for you.

Honestly.. this video and your transparency makes me want to purchase the rail and swivel mounts even more. Great work. Thanks for the updates

I was wondering that when I got mine … on the other hand, since there were no instructions for the screw I just grabbed an appropriately sized button head machine screw and threaded it straight into my maple jaws. Biggest issue I had was figuring out the right length of screw to avoid scabbing the back of the vise (1in seems good).

Hard to be mad with your transparency and the steps you take to make things right. One day I'll have a bench worthy of your vise!

Very cool! Thank you for your attention to detail! 🍒🧡

WD 40👍

That's exactly why it's used as brake cleaner lol

That’s exactly how a cvt transmission works🤔🤔 I’ve never seen a drill press like it!!

You can stain that wood, then clear coat and glitter it to look very beautiful.
