I never thought about painting my table white. Always drew on it. Gonna be doing this to salvage my last table. Very impressive video. Trying to grow the nerve to plans build after finishing my last kit. Did you feel the bear hawk plans were easy to decipher or is there a lot of chin scratching? Also why put it away tacked instead of finishing out the welds? Sorry about all the questions

We just built an ADU in our backyard for family. These trusses are better assembled than the ones we had to buy. Nice work.

Hi can u pls mention the thickness of the chromoly used ...

If I knew I were doing this alone I would devise a better method than a ladder

After watching a few modern truss building techniques, this is inefficient

Just found and subscribed to your channel, great videos! Did you bend your spars yourself or is that something you purchased? If it was DIY, any comments on that process or tooling you used?

I'm wondering why you put the extra 2x4's at the inside center of the truss between the webbing?

This made me think abt the time I had a dream that I pet a full grown bear

thanks for makin gall the video's i was wondering if someone has digitized some files i have a cnc router and want to do like you have !! did you use trochoidal cutting for the thin aluminum skins ?

Will using screws offer more strength instead of nails?

How wide should i make my trusses if they will be 40 ft long? and how far apart do i place them if i live in south Mississippi where there is no snow and im putting ply and a shingle roof on after?

Why drill it first? And what is the advantage of building the table and jig?

Take Velcro strips with the adhesive back and put the loop portion of the Velcro on the bottom of the saw table to make it slide much easier on aluminum and reduce the scratching, marring that can happen with a skill table gouging shavings and chips into the metal surface as you saw.

Thank you

The sign doesn't show what you're doing

I would not have riveted them. I would have made a jig to hold the pieces and welded it all. The internal baffles you leave holes in the tank skin to weld to the baffle. Might have needed a couple alignment pins welded to the baffles that go through similar holes. Could have done the whole thing with no rivets and no leaks. Probably other ways to do it too. But thanks for an interesting build!

Very creative, efficient, simple and economical. Take a bow , atta boy ! Those barrels are easily adaptable to many Hair-Brained Schemes . I am using a barrel with hardware cloth to make a compost sifter.

Thanks for the videos! Learning a lot. I finished a RV8A and now working on a Fiesler Storch replica from the Pazamany plans. All the tail feathers and wings done and starting on the fuselage. Those 3d printed adjustable tubing clamps look GREAT! Is there any way I might purchase the file so I can have some printed? Thanks so much, Mark

Да ну на х@й так еб@ться одному....👎👎👎👎👎👎

That would appear to be the worst possible way to make an Aluminium fuel tank...What will those joints be like after a year of vibration?!!

Too much excessove work. The process could be optimized and be twice faster

I am about to start my BH5 and love the pipe adjustable braces, any chance you can share the 3D file to print a set? Great Job BTW, I've been learning a lot from watching.

Very nice i am doing the same thing on my smith miniplane but with tighter gaps 1/8 inch thank you for the info ! 👍🤪😎

G,day from Sydney Australia. What is the manufacturer and model of the TIG welder? 🌏🇦🇺

Ah this is so inspiring! I have the plans for the 4 place, and I'm tempted to buy a quick build, but this looks so fun. I'm currently buying an Avid Flyer MKIV right now that I'm doing some welding on. This will be a good warm up to building a Bearhawk. Thank you for sharing!

Really like the rotisserie chicken! Thank you for posting

Can't wait to be at this stage myself. Good work keep it up.

May i know the materials you use for designing the fuselage

I am now trying to make my steel ribs just as you did. but I see you didn't bend the narrow flange in along the edge of the ribs as the plans show. (as a last step) Did you try that ? do you see a way to do it without ending up with a mess ? Love your videos----- Tim B. Greeneville TN.

What’s the cost effectiveness between this and using ijoist? I have plenty of time.

That’s awesome

Loving your build. I have to say that a dot/line laser would be very beneficial. Thanks for sharing your build.

What are those blue clamps you are using? Would be very useful for my build! Thanks

i had the same problem with the fly cutters. I found that the bit in the center is all way not centered. I took the bit out and cut a brass pin on the lather ---1/4 inch on one end and oversize on the other end. Then you mount the small end into the end of the fly cutter. Then you grab the shank of the fly cutter in the lathe-- and cut the pin down gradually to 1/4 inch. That way the pin is concentric with the cutter shank. if you use the fly cutter as-is---- it wont cut a round hole because it s wiggling. also I use the brass pin because I dont want a bit to be cutting my central hole any larger. I also run the mill as slow as the mill will turn it. and feed the cutter VERY slowly. so far that has worked well. Cant find a good quality fly cutter.

can this splicing also work in high rpm machines?

Should have been operating off a 12v, 24v or 48v wind turbine....

You talk more than you work

Master metal fabrication skills for sure...You make an Overwhelmingly complex fabrication project look almost manageable by a regular dude....Thx for taking time to show All this at the Perfect presentation speed....

Uhh, I binge watched all your video,s up to this point. Excellent work! Building airplanes is a huge project and can be frustrating in that you get to 80% done and ,in reality, you still have 80% more to go!!! Pretty soon you can sit in it and make airplane sounds!!

Would love to see some more info on your tubing helping hands.

Another great video. It's starting to look like an airplane

Nice work, would appreciate seeing some close ups of the nodes post welding!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any specs you can share, like… - length, depth of trusses? - what angle you cut the webs? - what screws you used? - anything you’d maybe do differently if you were to build them again? Appreciate it! Chad

You can also just use the calibrated feature right below the edit feature. You wouldn’t have to draw the line and do math.

Are you tig welding everything or just using the tig to tack weld and finishing with oxy acetylene

полнейший БРЕД ))))))))) по всем параметрам в разы лучше делать двутавровые балки из фанеры и брусьев )))))))))

Nice work. I have wanted to build the 4 place for a few years and I am convincing myself to jump in. I am jealous of your shop set up, in particular your nice mill. Keep up the good work.

That was great. I'm going to fix my john deer tractor hood the same way.

if you're filtering out same sizes but want to separate gravel and metal from wood chips, any ideas?
