Watching you build the endoskeleton from scratch is not only proof of what a master craftsman you are but also watching you machine every single part for it is very satisfying and relaxing to watch.

[@bobweiram6321]

Extremely underrated channel! Shame on KZbin algorithms! That ball mill is lit!

[@SiboBushings]

Absurd!

[@shotgunalien3315]

You do not understand? This arm is the rebellion of the machines, it is the beginning of the T-800 😯

[@Unclephoto]

James Cameron creates ideas and you put them into practice. You are the real master.

[@Ever443]

As a machinist I can appreciate the amount of work you have put into this. Outstandingly great video.

[@EnglishPete]

When the gear cutter appears, you know its the real deal!

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

Glad you decided to continue this, it's the reason i subscribed in the first place !

[@rickkephartactual7706]

It is absolutely awesome to have the skill set you possess. I remember just learning the very basics of using a metal lathe back in high school in the 70's. I took two years of metal working and loved it.

[@garyr7027]

Absolutely insane build, the details, the work and effort you're putting into this thing is crazy good.

[@ekghostofficial]

Best video on KZbin ever. So much underrated channel. Lots of like and respect from 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@ClydeRadcliffe]

Skynet would be proud of you💪🏻

[@avilabardock7208]

Here in Brazil I'm following your work, I'm loving your work.

[@ewalshp]

Amazing discover, first time the youtube algorithm show me something great. Excellent video, excellent job.

[@cavecavecavecave5295]

The thing that surprised me most about stumbling across this video, was your English accent. Fantastic video.

[@LorenzoLabinazvicenza]

I'm sorry, I only saw your channel today. From today you are my HERO. Absolutely incredible work !!! Thank you for deciding to actually do this

[@SiboBushings]

Why? Why this video not trending first in every country in the world for the next 100 years?

[@vanthenormal5724]

you have some next level dedication

[@thomasstover6272]

Great video, Andy! I especially liked the gear skiving and the thread milling. Love the gizmos, as you know! Thanks!

[@markhonigschmid6116]

I watched all episodes of that project in a row! 😂❤ It's just fascinating!

[@sinchrotron]

Kyle, Miles, Marcus, John, Grace and other good people died for this to never happen. And now this gentleman throws their sacrifice into the chip pan. Model 101 was right - the judgement day is inevitable.

[@Dreamer3K]

🤣😂😂🤣😂

[@fallowstrider]

Lmafo couldn't have said it better

[@ZverevDG]

That's exactly what I want to say too! You're closing up the Judgement day. And machines will rise. Everething is predicted. Now the arm is ready. It least a little bit for everithing else. Of course it's a joke. Or...? Anyway you work looks great!

The source of the problems was the new principles chip in his hand, but here you can only rely on a couple of sensors. So there is still a place to move)

wow this is just incredible youtube just directed me here now im hooked cant wait to see the finished thing.

[@predator1286]

Hi, thank you for your hard work! You have to finish it to the end, don't try to quit, and you have to make him walk and think like a terminator!! After all, you are the creator!!!

Boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats (the music) Great craftmanship. Very talented.

[@smk1795]

criminally underrated video and channel. This channel has unique content.

[@Eremon1]

You could make prosthetics with that level of skill. Very cool. I've always wanted a Terminator limb but could never afford such a thing. At least I got to see one get made. Cheers.

[@lunkydog]

I appreciate all the manual machining.

[@AndysMachines]

There's a lot you can do on a manual mill with a digital readout that many people assume you need a CNC for. The only CNC work in this video is the engraving on the forearm cuff.

[@SilvasSmallMining]

Excellent work! Excellent craftsmanship! You’re very skilled. I’m glad I discovered your channel! Keep up the amazing work!

[@NagashiChidorii]

Not only did you build something out of one of my fav movie series, but that starting sample from Beside Me · Patrick Patrikios was bad ass!!!!

You need only a programmer, a chip, and energy to make a fully functional terminator wow 👌 👏 😍.

[@draconisexonar7652]

Just an amazing job. Respect

[@TradeWorks_Construction]

This is freaking remarkable! If I didn’t know better I’d say you were well on your way to making the foundation for a high tech prosthetic. Just need to partner up with a scientist who’s made an electronic transition to the nerve endings of severed limbs and good as new, Bob’s your uncle. 😅 ok maybe not quite so easy and Bob’s not really your Uncle he’s mine but either way 🤩 you’ve got my attention.

[@AndysMachines]

Actually, coincidentally, Bob is my uncle. 😁

This. This is how AI is going to destroy the world. New subscriber ✌🏻

[@ShainAndrews]

Congrats on your cast quality. That is no easy feat. Nothing worse than being five machine operations deep only to find a material defect.

[@2degucitas]

I want to know how he made the model used to make the mold.

[@AndysMachines]

I drew them in CAD and then 3D printed them. This is my preferred method now for things I only want to cast one or two of. I used to make patterns from wood which last much longer for repeated use.

[@ollied1981]

Brilliant!

[@RichardLucas]

I mean _what?_ Where is it going? Seems like it is destined to be a hero prop on film. I hope so. Your efforts on this thing are just fantastic.

[@id104335409]

You are machining a Terminator? Oh yeah, Im subscribing!

[@davideyres955]

You need to link the eyes to an aquara presence sensor that can track movement in a room so the eyes really do follow you round the room.

[@AndysMachines]

I plan to use a small camera to recognise and track targets... I mean people, not targets at all!

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

Superb work

[@Emphasis213]

I could see a real world Terminator: advanced machine learning hijacked his finished project and eventually replicated successive and more advanced versions of itself.

An accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration, or acceleration of motion, of a robot's hand. Somewhat like a human hand.

[@ariesmars29]

Very impressive work! When you spoke, you sound very similar to the "Adventures with a very small lathe" channel. You're not the same guy are you?

[@AndysMachines]

No, not the same guy, but I know who you mean, great channel.

[@ariesmars29]

@@AndysMachines I love both channels, among others.

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

12:44 thanks for the clarification about it being an actual arm... but i don't believe you, you have to cut the skin as deep as it goes like Arnold did to prove there's no metal parts inside 😂

[@chrismayer8990]

Great Video!

[@Marbslab]

Very nice work. Your machining craftmanship is great. Just one tip: The simple optical encoder for the linear motor is not the best solution, as it cannot detect the direction of rotation. It also lacks a limit switch (homing position). The AS5600 magnetic encoder is a good choice. 🙂

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks! The optical encoder is a quadrature type so it does keep track of position in both directions, though it is an incremental type so yes it does need initialising on power up (for this actuator I'll do this by just running it to a mechanical stop, others may have switches). For some of the other joints such as the elbow I will be using the type of absolute magnetic encoder you recommended, but there wasn't anywhere to mount one in this case.

[@Marbslab]

[@johnathancorgan3994]

Your aluminum castings are quite nice, better than most I see on youtube. Little to no porosity and nice surface finish (for a casting.) Do you do anything special?

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks, but they're not quite perfect and there's room for improvement. I learnt a lot about metal casting from Olfoundryman on youtube, key things that have helped me are using a pouring basin, tapered sprue and generous feeder when required. Also degassing with argon (welding gas bubbled through a pipe with lots of small holes in it) seems to really help with porosity. I mostly melt down old scrap, but I always include some aluminium that was previously cast, these alloys are normally high in silicon which helps the metal flow better.

[@iningard5017]

Потрясающая работа!

[@DylanEdmiston]

Thats cool, did you design that leadscrew? its neat.

[@AndysMachines]

Yes, I designed this one, but such things are quite common. The 'nut' is a bit different in my case though.

[@DylanEdmiston]

@@AndysMachines yeah I like the brass drive nut

[@jazcreations]

Stunning stuff mate... You're really going next level on it, I love the work and thought you are putting into it.... I gota admit there may be an idea or two I might steal from you when I get around to giving Frank his upgrades :)

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks! Yes, I try and plan / design things before I start making them, but some parts just need to be made first so I can see how they all fit together. I find a lot of the parts are actually smaller than I imagined them when I come to make them, which makes it harder to fit working parts inside. I did plan to put the motors for the fingers in the forearm but there's really no space left so they will have to go somewhere else now.

[@jazcreations]

Don't know if you have seen this guy's stuff may be worth a look... kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5DNpIN-briFoM0 .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmiWfXmnor2piK8 I'd also be curious to pull apart a Blitzway Terminator arm to see what they did kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3SYo4awobZgsK8

[@AndysMachines]

Yes, I have seen that video, very nicely made! His finger mechanisms actually look very similar to how I've done mine, I'll have to route the tendons at least around the moving elbow though (probably with bowden cables). The blitzway arm looks very nice and the motion is quite fast and realistic. The base it sits on is pretty big and I think there are six servo motors in it, one for the wrist and the fingers are all independent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6ZiKyNedR7n68si=JxeBkyzYxrFEKo5e&t=484

[@chrisBruner]

With that type of encoder you need to know the starting position. Everything is relative from that. A better choice would have been a magnetic encoder which always knows the current position. Although that might have been harder to mount.

[@AndysMachines]

Yes, it's an incremental encoder so will need to be homed with either a switch or a mechanical stop. As the screw makes multiple turns a magnetic encoder would also need some reference to set the initial position. I may use absolute encoders mounted directly to the joints in other places and the magnetic ones are a good choice as they are small and quite high resolution.

[@Terrar1988]

amazing! much better than Tesla Optimus :)

[@VenturiLife]

Часть терминатора завалялась в моём гараже в виде домкрата🤣🤣✌️

[@JaenEngineering]

Awesome job. Was wondering when the next Terminator build video was going to be and here we are. Also, do you plan on adding limit switches for the ends of travel on the actuators? I only ask because it looks like the encoder is relative rather than absolute, so if it glitches and loses count it'll forget were it is.

[@AndysMachines]

Thanks! Yes, you are correct it is an incremental encoder so will need some way to set it's initial state. On some actuators I will add a switch, on others I will just run them gently to their mechanical stop. I may also use absolute encoders on some of the joints to avoid this problem.

[@paul_mason_]

New subscriber, love the content! How heavy do you think the completed terminator will be?

[@AndysMachines]

Apparently a T-800 was supposed to weigh 400 pounds (180Kg). I think it will be somewhat less than that.
