I really enjoyed how down to earth you are and very detailed and honest with your work. you earned a subscription today!!! Great work btw!

[@garyredeker5374]

Bro., I'm in final design of my cnc plasma table right now. Your pain on cutting an inch off each sheet is real, but you helped me out just in time. I was going to do 48" wide. Fook that, now I'm going to 52" of travel on my head which will prob. have my footprint at 60" +. You saved me some real hassle bro. You ever roll through Nor. Cal. I'll do you right with a proper 'thanks'!

[@RyanClark7923]

I did the same! 52

[@bubbadove5479]

Great video. Necessity is the mother of invention. Your tank for table water ,.....incredible idea. Thanks for your time.

[@rosswoolley2854]

So you mounted the electric magnet under the table, That is one good idea! Learning something every day.

[@023188]

Love your style~ Your video is very realistic and lots of little funny dummy things inside. 🤣 Like that 49 inch metal 🤣

[@garagecncplasma1590]

Great work! Tip to get slag off. Muratic acid. Dip signs in the acid over night and it will have a sand blast type finish and the slag will all be dissolved. Helps a ton

[@cranktowncity]

That's how I've done it in the past, but having a big tub of muriatic acid sitting around my small garage proved to be a little bit of an issue hahaha

[@PavelowGunner1122]

Nice Cockford Ollie shirt! Uncle Bumblefrack would be proud

[@delucain]

I've shared this channel with all my maker friends. Good luck and thanks for sharing with us!

[@cranktowncity]

Thanks so much!

[@Rastapapulus]

I like your beard man and that just matters.Thanks for the video and it's good to see you have 6.5k subscribed now.

[@bmiller1958]

You’ve come a long way from 2 subs, man! Good job. I subbed too.

[@MegaMundos]

Te desejo toda a sorte do mundo mano, seus vídeos são muito bons! Espero que esse canal cresça muito!! Estarei aqui para prestigiar seus vídeos! I'v been watching your videos ALL night and they are awesome, i wish you all the luck in the world man, i hope your channel grows a Lot!! Keep doing such a good job!

[@robwgeorge]

Shared you channel with a bunch of folks. Really dig your style.

[@cranktowncity]

thanks so much man!

[@VeezyLife]

I'm enjoying the commentary. And the rest too lol. Dude you bang around everything lmao almost as if it's all made of steel

[@alexpasko1126]

Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@micro963]

Thank you for posting the video. Your table set up works perfect I wish I would know how to build one👍👍👍

[@cranktowncity]

Check out MakingStuff's CNC plasma build, his videos helped me out a lot when building mine!

[@MrTapanes]

Dude, enjoyed the vid and doing a deep dive on your catalog.

[@arnoldsmith476]

I like the cut of your jib man! I never subscribe because I find the notifications annoying but I made an exception for your channel. Always something interesting 🧐.

[@independentliberty9628]

Good job man. I've been wanting to build a cnc plasma table for quite a while.

[@RGCbaseace]

Fantastic job very well done

[@michaelgrier4754]

Great video thanks for posting. As I was watching I noticed you not only cut the inch off but you also cut it into 4ft sections. If you have the room to turn your plasma machine you could just feed the full 8ft sheet into the machine and have the excess rest on your sawhorses. Just an idea. Good job on the parts and the machine build!!

[@emeralddragonflystudio2475]

Really enjoying your channel.

[@warnersmith1344]

Nice work on your setup and the video. Ever think of powdercoating any of the signs?

[@RiderRickMaker]

You had 2 subscribers when you made this video? Man. You got way far from that! Keep growing and posting the good stuff you do!

[@hotironaircraftshop]

'love the channel. 'wish I had the space to do stuff like this!

[@cutweldngrind]

I been thinking on buying a beginner table and they not cheap. I really hope to be able to sell signs and stuff to pay it off. Cool video.

[@luistafoya3998]

Does really good work

[@Geimfari]

Love your videos! have you thought about making a powdercoating setup ?

[@BoostedNW]

2 subscribers to 7.61K, Congrats!

[@jakegingrich7214]

This is awesome, what's the reason of not having the table constantly filled with water?

[@shazzz_land]

you could look into upgrading ur cutting bench into a laser system, you won't have to use gas for plasma and thus no need to refill, also a diy laser welding might do good if you could somehow make it

[@thanhnhanhuynhnguyen3652]

Love the intro haha

[@ScottSavageTechnoScavenger]

Thumbs up before I even watched!

[@danonymous3907]

So do you charge by square inch or how does that work? How thick of metal sheets can you cut? You said you were barely able to afford to put it together, roundabout how much do you think it would cost to build one like this?

[@valerehouben5596]

Really nice cut quality! almost no dross. I believe i saw 160 inch/min? And do you use the thc? Do you use standard 45a nozzle, or precision cut? When i cut something like this, i get way more dross and some lead in/out damage. Any advice?

[@PedroMartinez-hw6uy]

Bro just a little pointer if you already know then thats cool too just trying to help a brother out. Get some clamps and use them as handles when moving sheets.

[@cranktowncity]

Never, thought of that, that's smart! Thanks for the advice man!

[@n2fastcars635]

You should do a video on you plasma table build.

[@plasmaman9592]

How do you find your customers? I have all the equipment to make big bucks but I am having a hard time finding customers. I have heard lots of people say they started by selling to friends and their friends, but my friends don't want anything unless it's free

[@donaldlarkin2208]

Awesome!! You say you built the table. Ive been debating purchasing one because as you say they ain't cheap. What was your approximate cost you think? You got another subscriber. Thanks and keep it up 👍

[@incolink]

love that T shirt pal .. cordford olli 4 life

[@CraigHollabaugh]

What cup wire brush do you use for back side cleanup? Thanks.

[@shazzz_land]

nicely done. now to figure how i'd make that in an apartment :)) , cheers from east europe

[@garyweber6413]

great work and nice little shop.grinding plasma cutting spray painting welding, all super toxic stuff as im sure you are aware of.i just hope you wear a respirator.

[@T0tenkampf]

2 subs then now almost 8k...shows the power of a high end gf cameo

[@4legdfishman]

Nice work. New subscriber!

[@cranktowncity]

Thanks so much!

[@rustytygart405]

Sooooo you might try putting a chunk of stall mat down on your bench top it will keep your price from moving around you don’t need a magnet

[@riverrazors7915]

You’re fucking awesome bro love your videos 😂😉

[@fordkid9472]

I like the table fill idea, don't mind if I borrow that idea

[@TheRainHarvester]

Does the metal vaporize into fumes? How thick can you cut?

[@michaeldarling9841]

How do you come up with prices?... Appreciate the tutorial =D

[@atVVV1]

Have you found any software that will leave holding tabs on different fonts automatically?

[@bebop8929]

you fabricobbled a decently skookum setup there

[@VeezyLife]

Do you have a build video for your cnx you built

[@catman64parsons26]

Idk what I would do if i had to grind all my signs like you did after cutting. I just take a wide mouth chisel over it then its good to go. Lol

[@gacherumburu9958]

👍👍

[@zacharyburkett7829]

Is there anymore to that schilouete than bones and hips?

[@irkedoff]

I look forward to your content

[@proline1349]

What thickness metal is that?

[@lainechampion8255]

Can u link the electromagnet?

[@VeezyLife]

Don't you just love how doing any single simple task on a Linux distro is an arm and a leg compared to the convenience of windows lol.. What's the reason you using that LinuxCNC as opposed to windows

[@bobwallace5257]

Have you thought about an Etsy store?

[@Jikdor]

How much do you charge for a sign?

[@horaciosalinas8145]

which software do u use

[@michaelt.9372]

Crank town? Do you mean apache junction?

[@mr.diyhowtopaintingwelding4479]

How do you charge

[@martinTintin476]

nice. i hold finger

[@Ballsdeep_99]

“Someday I'll do something more permanent but.......today is not that day”

[@ForgedInHolland]

You should really wear a respirator when removing rust and grinding.

[@kyfireman]

Why not cut them off from your tailgate? No lifting.... then trim the inch

[@deepwinter77]

What thickness and type of steel do you typically use,

[@connormcneill9024]

sounds like he used 16 gauge for this run, dunno about the type tho

[@fredscott413]

shes nice.

[@000302lf]

I wouldn't waist that one inch of materials, just cut it in thirds first that should leave you with a 32 inch piece then just put the sheet the other way, you may have to change your program to landscape or portrait if the software has that property or just redefine your edges. Why waist 96 Sq. inches of material.

[@SkidMarkSmeller]

Do you know how to run Facebook ads?

[@thelordofthesteel4518]

Does your cnc plasma built by you self?

[@cranktowncity]

Yessir I built it

[@thelordofthesteel4518]

Good man. I'm to have built my cnc plasma. But still not done touch sensor. If not secret what kind of touch sensor you use?

[@cranktowncity]

@@thelordofthesteel4518 I used a floating Z with limit switches for the probe, much like this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2516238

[@thelordofthesteel4518]

Can u do a Linuxcnc vid for dumb people? Plz

[@ScottSavageTechnoScavenger]

Do you have an online store?

[@cranktowncity]

not yet, I just sell them locally

[@wildniscamper7276]

9:30 ya lung is not getting better after that😎

[@risk_immersed]

DUDE... hold the camera still... good video.. but man... invest in a tripod or something

[@hustlewithjulian5118]

you should do a vid on how much $ you make doing it!

[@cranktowncity]

I don't make much doing it, as I don't really advertise for it. I basically make enough to get free sheet metal for other projects selling sign at $30 per sq foot.

Why you stopped KZbin?

[@jayinmi3706]

I dig the idea of the water tank. Hadn't thought of that. I see a lot of plasma tables with gross looking water in them (seems they recommend changing it out once a year from what I've read?) and can only imagine what that smells like. lol
