Why not just steal the whole mahoo when it is ready in the future? Just leave the dirty starter project parts for the future guy so he can start from scratch. The guy in the future knows how to make one so the second one should be even better. So then little bit later do the same thing but swap the version 1 mahoo to the improved version the future guy built and you get a free update and technically the guy in the future gets his machine back so you did not even steal anything.

Some ideas: - Swap out the bronze bearings with polymer ones > less stiff, better dampening though (better for the electronic components) The eigenfrequency of the hole arm is kinda low, so you don’t have to be worried about this.. - get your self some industrial PSU for 24 V and 5V > “made in Taiwan“ is not running smoothly all the time :) - if you‘re going to attach the encoders in the positions of the original hand wheels, add a button next to them for shifting the increments (this might be convenient) - use a stylus for the touch screen - it won‘t be a clean operation all the time ;) - add a tool rack on the side of the monitor to store frequently used tools (just about 4), cone cleaning tool and cleaning equipment underneath - Emergency-Stop... According the CNC Router: - Convert it to a Plasma cutter - You already have the control - There is a removable bed.. swap it out for a plasma table with vertically arranged plates + maybe a water reservoir Great video!

Anyway the tray he utilized had and additional hinge location on the attachment arm just at the edge of the tray which seemed to allow the tray to be located where he could easily stand beside the chair, sit on the attached stool, or stand on my chest using a diamond tipped pneumatic jackhammer to extract three of my 'wisdom' teeth.

Pretty impressive, seeing as Stacy’s Mom was Jessie’s girl and her number was 8675309

[@designersmind3140]

She's Jesse's Mom... But she used to be mine

[@McKildafor]

@@designersmind3140 Nice!

[@fltchr4449]

Jenny?!

I welded tabs on an angle plate just like that one at work, so I could use our surface plate as a hibachi grill. I think they fired me because the steaks were overdone.

" I've hit my contractually obligated 30 minutes" * Looks at time stamp* 🙁

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

You forgot to add in the time retrospectively spent in the future that will become a negative co-efficient of the current video, but be added in to the future video that we wont have to make now.

[@YommyRawr]

we got diddled 9 minutes

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

I know the man probably just chopped a bit off the video with a poorly programmed Z axis move at the end of the editing process (whoops) but clearly we didn't get the claimed result :p

[@aaronhays2866]

If there's anything I know about contract workers it's that time moves differently where they're from

[@larshenssen335]

Ever heard of metric vs imperial time???? Don't judge the man for sticking to his local units. Man, I hate these KZbin comments...

[@jonashaglund1125]

Excellent video Tony! (as always). The overall quality and attention to detail together with the exactly right kind of humour is what makes this channel really stand out.

[@madpt9728]

You have described my internship for better than I ever could have.

[@trapperjohn7571]

Title is misleading. I was expecting some advice on how to talk to my depressed mill

[@peterrenn6341]

Ahh.. I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll down for that one! - I read it that way too, :-)

[@NicholasMarshall]

On the plus side you get to see some nice reinforced bottoms.

[@muffty1337]

imagine how wifey would react if ya say: "Ma Ho has a massive base."

[@capnskiddies]

My wife thought she was being replaced when I started talking about a thicknesser. She was incandescent with rage when she heard it was both planer and electric.

[@blackbeardthepirate7467]

Ohhhhhh, that kind of console, I thought you were just going to pat your mill on the head and tell it everything's going to be okay.

[@ericruhlmann6817]

Just the video of the work would be interesting, but the commentary really puts it over the top. I love watching your videos.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Wow. You always go the extra mile! My CNC is 8 years old now and I never found the time to add a laptop stand. I barely added dust collection.

[@Rangerstorz]

How to humiliate the CNC Router: ''here.. hold the parts for your replacement

[@macsmachine2609]

Spit a little coffee out on that one. 2 thumbs up 👍👍

[@TheSkipinatorVids]

The first 30 seconds of this video sounds like my knees if... er... when I get out of bed.

[@millomweb]

Planning to go to bed in the next 40 mins. I've just taken my pain killers.

[@BrokenCurtain]

Given your sense of humour, I honestly thought this video was going to be about cheering up a sad milling machine.

[@Gamerock82]

He kinda did... it already has one arm up in the air.

[@monkeypete5175]

Tony, if you want to dampen the sounds on sheet metal, run a bead of silicone along all the seams in the corners. It helps a lot in the horse trailers i work on

[@boatbroke2892]

Jason from Fireball Tool should give you a commission. Your channel encourages me to buy tools and he is good at making sure where to find them.
