great job my friend! a good people for SKYNET!

[@TheRiddimselecta]

This guy is an Engineer, metalsmith, neuro-surgeon and artist all at the same time

[@JC-XL]

This guy is building the real thing, I'm telling you, people.

[@JC-XL]

And he's got all the machines, I didn't even know existed 😂 😂

[@liamholloway9022]

The blown up version mate

[@lloydhill2904]

And now with 3D Bio Print you are going to somehow cover it with Flesh one day😉. Insane work!

[@jazcreations]

Great stuff... Nice to see someone else taking on a flexible neck and the cable control is next level, well done

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks. It's a lot more work vs. a solid neck, but I think the extra range of motion it gives especially when combined with the head pan/tilt will help to make it look a lot more realistic.

[@jazcreations]

@@AndysMachines For sure, always be an advocate for articulation :)

[@phillipward4862]

Amazing total skill and patience

[@mark675]

Some people blow my mind.. you are one of those people 😂🙌👍 Amazing work

[@rodristrongest]

I'm here for the t 800 construction. You are very talented.

[@AndysMachines]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelrosenlof1084]

And loving it...excellent job✅👍

[@lynnwilliam]

Ive been following your videos for years. I am glad to see you are now using 3D printing to make the inside of the moulds!!! it must save you a ton of time.

[@AndysMachines]

Yes, I never really got into 3D printing for actually making finished things, but used this way as an intermediate step it works really well and allows me to create certain objects, such as this, that would take much longer by any other method. And now that I have a 3D printer I find myself using it for prototyping things too (which I think is what they were originally invented for?)

[@T-800..]

Skynet wants to know your location. Seriously though, I love the engineering you put into these. Amazing work! 👍

[@user-fu1ry9jg7c]

@@AndysMachines author, please tell me what kind of plastic was used?

[@AndysMachines]

@@user-fu1ry9jg7c It was normal PET. I use the natural/clear for investment casting as some of the pigments in the coloured filament can leave residue behind.

[@zakikrum6526]

I am so stoked to see the full build lol that I am thinking about building a time machine to go see the future 😂 I just cannot wait for it man. Amazing video as always, keep up the great work. New sub here 😊

[@Levi_Sheridan]

Great continuum! Love your use of the break cables.

[@lazguevara151]

INCREDIBLE! I LOVE THIS BUILD SERIES!

[@steadiecee]

15:32 looks so cool in 0.25 playback speed.... 😀 loving the build... ( am watching all the vids in one day )... all the details, the work, the process... the patience as well...the head looks amazing... i tip my hat to you sir... love it...

[@AndysMachines]

I think you slowed it back down to actual speed!

[@wahabfiles6260]

Eagerly waiting for EP12!

[@InsanityNerve]

Impressive work!

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks very much!

[@papahamdrew9962]

It just looks so simple on the outside then you see the inside with bike brake cables. Genius idea with the the ball bearings

[@scottjones2238]

...Although I don't cast metals myself yet, I might offer you this...For the more intricate parts, you should set them at an angle so one point sits lower than the rest and you pour directly into that low point...Also you could place a vent or two when you place your pour spout; you'll know you've filled it proper when molten metal comes out the vents! I just love your work and want to help your further success at what you do! I've just today found your videos...but I'm giving the thumbs up, subscribing and hitting the bell, good sir! Keep up the amazing artwork!!! Love, honor and respect to you!

[@comradeweismann6947]

Thanks for the hard work :-)

[@russterman1]

Brilliant !!

Top Channel👌👌. Subscribed

[@kevinporter9415]

This is looking incredible. I was wary of the 2mm aluminium thickness until the rest came together. The articulation on this project is looking great.. definitely looking forward to the arm/hand part now.. so many pistons! Balancing on scale sized feet might be a pain though..

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks. Yes, I was trying to keep the weight down but still keep the strength. I could have gone thinner in some places but I think I got it about right overall.

[@kevinporter9415]

@@AndysMachines it's awesome to watch it being done. Please don't get bored halfway through! Looking forward to seeing how you solve the rest and that finished product in the end.

Sei molto in gamba,stai facendo un T-800 molto curato,fatto bene,molto simile all'originale.anch'io ho sempre avuto in testa TERMINATOR,sono appassionato.aspetto i prossimi video per completare l'endoscheletro.complimenti

Just wait until he finishes building the whole endoskeleton and than fits Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot in it...

[@raymondzhao9557]

coooool

[@lockelocke-hm6ug]

Did you design the machined parts by yourself or did you use plans from other builders?

[@AndysMachines]

I designed all the parts myself (I even modelled the outer shell from scratch). Though this type of mechanism is well known in robotics circles, it's called a 'continuum robot' and is often used for small lightweight robot manipulators.

[@lockelocke-hm6ug]

@@AndysMachines you really have skills, excellent work!

[@davideyres955]

@@AndysMachinesnice. this series ain’t getting the KZbin algorithm attention it deserves. Hopefully it will start to appear and get some critical mass

[@jamesfield5346]

Where did you get your tool that cuts a radius? I cannot find anything for my mini lathe. Hell maybe I'm wording my searches wrong I don't know. Did you make it yourself?

[@joshclark44]

Love this! I just found a new metalworking channel to binge on! But for your playlist for this series it seems like you put the episodes in reverse order. Can you fix that so they'll auto play one after another? Otherwise I have to manually select the next episode :p

[@AndysMachines]

Very good point! The playlist was just updated as each video was added, so was actually in reverse order. I've fixed this now, thanks for pointing it out. 😁

[@joshclark44]

[@monicagillick7734]

Im also working on building a working T-800. I have my degree in electronics engineering. I'd love to collaborate with you on building this as I can design the control electronics & the CPU to allow it to run on its own.

[@AndysMachines]

I'm always interested to see other people's builds, do you have any photos or video? What do you think of the Jetson Xavier?

[@camillosteuss]

If you are building a working t800, you might consider coming up with skynet, it sounds like a great idea, just imagine the peaceful resolutions we could achieve... And then the Skynet would come up with t1000, sparing us the trouble of concocting the technology behind it... Damn, all the marvels of peaceful coexistence with machines...

[@blahblahblahblah2933]

Have you gone too far this time? Or not too far *enough*? Just don't give it a time machine, ok?
