One of the dirty little secrets that a lot of the "Maker" type KZbin channels don't mention is that epoxy resin yellows with age. Most of these beautiful river tables and epoxy + wood turning projects that now clutter up the platform will end up looking misty, yellowed, and dull 3 to 7 years down the line. This happens through UV damage (Which surprisingly, once started, will usually continue to get worse, even if the items later protected from UV), and heat. So if you decide to put your expensive new hand turned epoxy and walnut burr flower vase on a warm window sill, you've pretty much guaranteed it's going to look awful in a few short years. If they're sprayed with UV blocking clearcoat from new the yellowing will take longer to start, but eventually it nearly always still happening.

I made a draw bar for my rotary table. It consisted of a bit of all-thread and a custom nut. As you mentioned, clearance is limited, so the nut looked like a threaded cylinder with maybe a 2mm flange on it to provide clamping force. I drilled 2 holes on the back face so I could tighten the nut with a pin spanner. The only issue is that you need access to the back side of the rotab to use the draw bar.

For the rotary table, I found it much more convenient to buy blank, 'soft' drill chuck arbour's. It was real easy to make a special washer to fit into the base of rotary table (a 'top hat' washer that allows Allen head to fit inside it). The 'working end' is about 48mm long & 31mm dia, 3 Morse taper. (Victor Machinery Exchange NYC) It was cheaper than buying material and making them Being Morse taper, it was simple to fit it into lathe head-stock after removing chuck to turn to whatever diameter and length fixture you need. I only bought 2 arbour's but after 10~11 years have only used one, the other still new in box. The only 'inconvenience' is drifting it out when using R.T. flat surface instead of having clamps and fixtures attached

I've had back problems that makes standing for any length of time painful for years, so in my little workshop I used to have a tall "Reception desk" swivel chair that I'd fitted with 4" casters. It was great in there because it put me at pretty much standing height at the benches, and I could easily scoot myself along by shoving off against the bench tops without even having to stand up. :D Unfortunately, when I moved last, the new workshop (Another one car garage) was about a foot narrower and 3 foot shorter than the last one, so there wasn't room for my big boy toys AND leaving a wide enough walkway down the middle for the chair to not block it, so it ended up outside under a tarp during summer, forgotten about during the winter, and then the rusty/mouldy mess was taken to the scrap man the following summer. :(

I have an idea about the bottom tubes on your bar stock storage. You don't have to wait for smaller tubes. Just take a tube of the same size and cut it in half so that you have two arcs. Glue the "feet" of the arcs to the existing tubes. From the top down perspective, it will look like three circles in a row with a very curvy M across the top of them (or a very curvy W across the bottom of them.)

I enjoyed your revisit video. I had a thought about your walking mandrel problem from your corner rounding fixture. Your problem reminded me of some expanding mandrels I've seen other machinists use. If you cut the original mandrel a little shorter, and cut a cone shaped recess into the end, and slit the mandrel about halfway up, you could make a cone shaped nut to fit into the recess. Then, counterbore your original mandrel for thread clearance, and use a long bolt to reach through to the cone nut. that should apply pinching/spreading force at the bottom to bind it in the taper. Alternatively, and more simply, you could just machine a relief into the underside of your fixture (if there's room) for a shop made wafer nut, and again, counterbore your mandrel.

As for your tubular storage I might suggest using PVC pipe or EMT conduit. I use both for different applications and I hang them as a over head storage. In my home shop I used hole saws to cut holes in plywood to make a wooden rack to mount the storage unit to floor joists and rafters. At my work I use EMT with unistrut rails and EMT clamps to make an over head storage rack under our stairsteps going to our parts stock room. This rack is handy for drill rod, brass rods, and other typically short materials. 3 feet and shorter. At this point you can place all stock 3 feet and shorter in the tubes and have all the ends pulled out to the front opening for easy access.

Quinn, I finally broke down and built the grinder tool rests for my bench grinder. I love them. I just put a straight handle on the adjusting knobs and that solved the tightening problem.

I use brass flat head screws for the jack screws, flat head down, on my small clamps which I made 58 years ago, and have been used many more times than twice at this point, and no marring of whatever tool I mount them on, angle plate, cube or faceplate.

As far as being able to rummage around in your small bins... As an experienced (not I didn't say "expert") juggler of annoying things, it's easy to get fixated on "shelf". All you need is enough support to free up one hand. I observe a trashy-looking 4x4 or some such to the rack's right. A 6-8" demi-shelf should make a large quality-of-life improvement. If you make it big enough and at the right height, you can brace the bin with your hip and do two-handed rummaging.
@AutoExpertJC2 жыл бұрын
Excellent video. Highlights an important factor often unstated in the 'maker' community. Totally agreed with the main point you made here (mechanical engineer talking) - the 'problem' with most KZbin DIY is: You're seeing iteration #1 of a prototype, which in most cases also becomes the finished product, because it's so laborious to make it again, better, twice more, with only incremental improvement. So, essentially, if the concept is good, as a viewer, you finish watching a video looking at a nice idea with considerable potential. Obviously, from a YT creator perspective, it's pretty boring to do two more vids of essentially the same thing, only iteratively better. (Or, alternatively, to burn three times the time making the finished part - iteration #3 - after throwing two prototypes under the bus, thereby cutting one's YT productivity by 66%...) It's unfortunate that those 'missing' iterations might have only 15-25% difference from the finished product - but that's the bit that turns a good idea into a good product. A kind of gestalt theory - the finished part being greater than the sum of its iterative improvements... Very well explained. Thanks.

Nice update video, good idea! When I have used strap clamps similar to those face plate clamps, I always have the support bolt upside down. You don't need to access the head of the support bolt as it's tightened using the other bolt, and the head has more surface area and no sharp edges so it won't damage the face plate as easily. Also it gives you more range of length in the screw, as you don't need the length of the head sticking up out of the top of the clamp. Not having the head sticking up will also reduce the overall height of the assembled fixture, which may be helpful sometimes. You made a counterbore for the head of the clamping bolt, but then have the support bolt head sticking up potentially getting in the way. One last thing to consider, If you make something for the end of the bolt, you will have to remove it to swap to different length support bolts, and you have to unscrew and then screw in the full length of the bolt. When you get to longer bolt sizes there is also rarely thread running up the full length of the bolt, so reversing the screw is a necessary step in these longer lengths anyway. Simply reversing the back support bolt seems to me to be the easiest and quickest solution to many potential problems, the only exception is clamping on parts thinner than the bolt head, but simply grinding the end of the shorter bolts flat should solve this, no sharp edges from the thread forming process, no damage. Hope this helps, the only downside to this solution is that it doesn't require any machine tools to make it happen, where's the fun in that! 🤣

Quinn, you are an excellent instructor. Lots of tutorials on machining and techniques. Most of them use aluminum.

There are so many metals to choose depending on the application and deciding what works best. Price, machineability, weld. temper. etc. HR vs CR. For example, if machining an acme screw, what metal would you use. I am guessing your lathe or mill has a lot to do with this. Hp & rigidity, skill level. Anyway, thks.

Another reason to put those brass caps on your 'jacking screws' of the strap clamps is with use, eventually, the very ends of the threads are going to get upset (technical word for smooshed) and everntually they will not be removable without also distorting and/or stripping the threads in the straps. And that would be bad. Not so bad if you aways use the same jacking screws and never have to remove them. At some point, however, you may want to use a longer or shorter jacking screw or a conventional hex head cap screw. I had a Vertex BS-0 'Semi-Universal' dividing head that has an MT-2 taper spindle bore. I also made some special fixturing mandrels and spigots and what-have-you for it and I also found that I needed to make a drawbar to secure these. I used a socket head cap screw and a special "washer" with a deep pocket otherwise the head of the SHCS would interfere with tilt angles beyond horizontal. This was also handy for small work pieces that could be held in MT-2 collets. Not useful to you but perhaps for others. The Vertex BS-0 had the same thread on its spindle for mounting a chuck or faceplate. As luck would have it this was the same thread as the spindle on my 10" lathe at the time. This enabled me to swap the 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks I had between lathe and milling machine and back again without removing the work from the chuck. It was not super precision but within +/- 0.001" (0.0254mm) Love the "phone clamps".

Don't know if this will help or not but I have a similar albeit smaller storage problem for metal lengths and I have been considering how I can use plastic plumbing pipe more sensibly for differing lengths. It occurred to me that long stock (say 1000 to 1200 mm) can easily be catered for via a normal 32 mm (1.25") standard pvc sink drainage pipe up through 4"/100mm orange underground pipe. BUT by cutting shorter lengths of pipe and using end caps and standard plumbing solvent you can effectively create the equivalent of those desk pen tidies with the multiple different sized tubes. Using differing lengths of open pipe and glueing appropriately an infinitely variable yet consistent storage system can easily be created. Including a stable stand alone one not necessarily requiring the vertical support of a bench.

Much as I like the TOT style waving hands style, it was a shame not to see the “whole Quinn” in the stock storage section 😊. Great stuff as always.

Thank you. This was excellent. Just a thought, make the bottom holders quadruple or quintuple the length. Now you can store the longer off cuts and this will corral your long stock better.

One of our favorite pieces of furniture in our house is a piece that was supposed to be the top section of a break front credenza that was to be three shelves wide which were supposed to be something and 3/8" long not 5/8" that were mortised and securely glued into place and after a long days work and putting it in place I found it overhung the lower section yep 3/8. I made some really interesting doors for it and used milk paint since it was available for experimentation and design purposes, made the proper dimensioned one for the client and everybody was happy. BTW Quinn was curious if you considered just drilling holes in that knurled knob and making a little hex hole flange out of it.

Thanks for sharing these updates. I am assuming that it is because it has already gotten quite a bit of screen time/use since its birth that the cross drilling fixture wasn't included. Love the spoiler/peak into the future!!! :)
