I am totally clueless about what this contraption will finally look like, but I am convinced it will be sturdy and useful as always!

[@Leffe192]

I picture somethink like the Vimek 610 (google it if you like)

[@manitobaman5588]

Look up mini-log forwarder.

1:39 Perfect picture for Grindr! And proof that Donn’s tool is impressive..

[@Uswesi1527]

Simply, basic, affordable tools and materials. But , the power comes from the brain that controls the hands how to operate those tools professionally, accurately, efficiently , effectively, and perfectly.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Donn, it's getting more interesting each week. Stay safe and keep up the great work and videos. Fred.

[@asbjrnkvisle5831]

If we had angle grinder world championships, you would be a gold candidate!

[@joeromanak8797]

You are the human CNC machine. Everything is so neat and precise. A lot of people can cut and weld but you also have the mind and the eye of the artist. I watch and 👍 all of your videos. 🥸👍👀👋✅

[@cobrajones5746]

I've been watching all you're videos for years its like poetry watching you build and fabricate all this stuff, I to is a pretty good fabricator and I built a lot of stuff for myself,its always a inspiration watching another master fabricator effortlessly build these awesome machines, love you're videos and you're work and can't wait for you're next one, God bless you and yours🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@DonnDIY]

Wow, thank you!

[@lorencolt]

About time for a Plaz cutter. You have a plaz table.

[@Crewsy]

I am in complete awe at what you achieve each week and looking forward to further progress. One thing for sure is it is going to be solidly built. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bradanderson1627]

You’re doing a great job young man thanks for the vid.

[@jeepanimal2943]

Thank you Donn. Questions have been answered. Loving the build, looking forward to the next video.

[@yodasbff3395]

Your workmanship is awesome. 😀

[@SuperDeeredriver]

I would have used some larger rod ends on the pivot to compensate for the lack of ajustment in the cv joint. Also some sort of flex coupler from the driveshaft to the rear end would be a good thing to have for bearing longevity

[@mitchadey]

Really liking the bits of explanation as you go!

[@DonnDIY]

Glad to hear it!

[@levidbateman5174]

Love watching your stuff, a mini Forwarder… so cool, looks great so far

[@p3692]

Donn, your work to create amazing equipment is wonderful to watch, thank you for sharing

[@bchdsailor]

Design and manufacturing on the fly - you excel at this Donn

[@Mikefestiva]

Nice work Donn! It’s coming along nicely 👍 PS that clamp mill is an awesome product. I had been thinking about it especially at the preorder price point 😊👍

[@DonnDIY]

Hey, Mike! Cheers man, we ourselves like the clamp mill too. This will be something always attached on the roof of my UTV ready to mill (once the first batch comes from production that is). We try to get the final price more affordable once the production is set up and everything is in order.

[@pukinpaja1974]

This is the Best and Relistic KZbin Cannel! Thanks Donn and greetings from Finland! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮🔧

[@Evilslayer73]

Cant wait to see rolling test :) amazing work man!very inspiring:)

[@DonnDIY]

Me neither! Cheers!

[@DanKoning777]

I enjoy watching all your videos and appreciate your God given talents; but with certain videos the talent level is a bit more clear-this is one of those videos. Well done as always. Looking forward to the next video. Wish I could give ya more of these: 👍👍👍

[@danf4616]

Keep practicing and your welding and fab skills will get pretty good. 😉 Just kidding, you are a great fabricator! 😁 Thanks for the vids! 👍

[@mark-gh3ox]

Привет ! Как всегда превосходно,красиво и четко.

[@opendstudio7141]

Good news, if the design fails, you are not shy about cutting it off and attempt a redesign. May have to run the yoke above the driveshaft to get full articulation and the strength to limit flexing.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video Donn. Kind regards, Hollandduck

[@Jerrydmech]

Awesome job as usual Donn!

[@shsavvy]

Is that going to be enough angle to turn sharp enough? A double CV joint maybe to get more angle? That would also eliminate any issues with misalignment, and if using a standard inboard CV on the other end with plung would prevent binding in-out also. Just curious. Looking forward to see it come along.

[@opendstudio7141]

Got a feeling Donn is working a split pin system (upper and lower). 30 degrees over the wheel span adds up.

[@ShEdward876]

Don't think it's going to turn very tight, old Volvo I use turns about 75 degrees either way.

[@robertshemory3541]

Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers ❤️👍😎✌️

[@Uswesi1527]

I remember on my father’s 1968 Buick Electra 225 , the Drive Shaft was 2- Piece, mounted on 2 Pillow Block Bearing.

[@president2]

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

[@87borje]

Nice work! Love your videos! 👍 🇸🇪

[@jarkkovanska6681]

Lot are done but lot have to do 🙂 good video 👍

[@ricardo-iw9sq]

I bet your wife knows what presents to buy for birthdays, a nice grinding disc selection box, a few cutters a few stones and a good bunch of the make it look shiny. 🤭

[@noiseosoutros]

very very good thank you my friend...

[@BigBlueMotors]

Glad to see Mr. Chop hasn't been kicked to the curb!!!

[@alanobrien1817]

Really interesting video Donn, very technical work there much like the swivel dumper connection.just wondering why you don't have a plasma cutter instead of all the angle grinder.

[@DonnDIY]

I have a plasma cutter, and I have a homemade CNC plasma table. I prefer the angle grinder since I build things on-the-go and it is faster to cut it than make CAD drawings and set up plasma table (for me).

[@alanobrien1817]

@DonnDIY okay fair enough,I suppose it takes a lot of time to set up alright but I was thinking hand held torch for the cutting especially the rounding and shaping.and then tidying up with the grinder 👍

[@LukeTheJoker]

Enjoying this.

[@CoffeeWatch]

I love your work. But seeing the amount of metal you cut with an angle grinder, I have one question: Have you considered buying a circular saw for metal? I don't mean the stationary kind that you already have, but rather a "handguided saw" (sorry for the strange words, I'm no native speaker and can't be bothered to look up all the words I don't know... after all it's the weekend... and I'm sure you'll get what I mean, regardless of some creative neologisms 😅🙈). I'm thinking of tools like the Bosch gkm 18 v 50 or the Metabo mks 18 ltx 58 or the Fein F-IRON Cut 57 AS (uses the Bosch Batteries) I have the Fein saw which has adjustable speed and I have to say it is really nice to cut metal without sparks and especially without all the dust from the cut off discs.

[@AW-Services]

I'm interested to see how the angle of articulation works when the loader section is connected. It appears to have a reduced turning radius

[@jrca1406]

1st commenter? Wow! Keep up the good work brother. Can’t wait to see this thing finished

[@robertkeime4907]

Great video

[@rocketplay14]

Love how the build is coming along! I do have a question about how you are going to hook up the axle through it around your pivet point there bud? Again feller love the build

[@DonnDIY]

The spacer bushing will be removed once the top and bottom plates are removed. I said it in the video at around 11:57 believe.

[@CongRaoDepVlog]

Chế tạo rất hay 👍

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Donn good job

[@evan010101]

The mill looks great! Are you going to fit a brake to the horizontal pivot to assist stability when loading?

[@DonnDIY]

The trailer I'm attaching this front end to has hydraulic side stabilizers. I hope the brake is not needed.

[@sundwitzi9225]

Why didn't you make it symmetrical top and bottom? Is it because of ground clearance? I think it will not help much, if just the upper part of the hinge is bigger. Because top and bottom force will be the same, so the bottom hinge will be under more stress. Or do you make the bushings the same length and just put it higher up? I would suggest to make the top hinge the same way close to the frame and add another, third hinge much higher up.... I'm curious how you will solve it - cant wait to see the next part! :)

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼

[@madeingarage7040]

Interesting😊

[@PorkBarrel.]

That'll work.

[@Poshpanda-09]

We have to watch tomorrow to see what the other thing is. Is it a lawnmover, is it a ride on, is is a motor?

[@ngapakchanel84]

Nice.. 🙏🙏🇮🇩

[@jubiletabustamanteserrano2446]

interesante veremos los resultados

[@twowheeladventure8731]

Like the idea but have you got a idea to make the drive work now you have a pivot right in the way, or am I missing something?

[@Thundermuffin93]

Yeah, I think the continuous shaft and the roller is for alignment purposes only.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

I’m trying too see how this is going too work. I’m sure you have the plan I just can’t see it yet

[@morgansword]

You have me puzzled on the yoke and hing but know what you want

[@valdevieira8258]

Show 👍

[@vladzaha4169]

👍

[@michaelshoemaker7422]

MAKE SURE YOU CAN REACH THAT GREASE ZERT

[@omar-nj6wl]

Are you going to be manufacturing the clampmill yourself? Or is it something you have designed and then outsource manufacturing to another company or something

[@DonnDIY]

We have no manufacturing capacity ourselves so we will source it out to a professional manufacturer here in Estonia.

[@cbmsysmobile]

Why don't you use your CNC plasma to cut out the plates?

[@DonnDIY]

I needed the full width of the steel plates. CNC requires extra width.

[@lynnhaskins9994]

Just wondering why you didn't use your plasmacad to cut all your pieces?

[@DonnDIY]

I wanted to use the full width of these steel pieces.

[@lynnhaskins9994]

@DonnDIY ok, that makes since. Love your channel man

[@fra_trk]

nice :)

[@JB-ol4vz]

That's one hell of a broach man, nice bild. Cheers. See ya at war. 🇸🇪

[@Franco-rh7yp]

Hi, I'm Franco from Argentina. I like your videos and I know that sometimes it's a lot of work to edit the videos, but I wanted to make a small comment. It would be nice if you put music in the fast-motion parts. Regards. (I used Google Translate. I hope it's understood and I'm not saying anything offensive, hehe)

[@ОлександрВовк-х2е]

Вподобайка.

[@Noorikon]

👍👌👏

[@EspenMiland]

Looks good Donn. I was wondering if you where going to integrat a horisontal swivel point, and you Are👍

[@AntonioM.696.]

🤘🤠

[@09conrado]

I don't quite get why it's in the way of the PTO shaft, but I trust you'll show us later how it it works

[@Antti_vaan]

Only during welding. Straight line.

[@GingerPiston]

No idea how you’re going to connect to the splined drive shaft now you’ve stuck that metal cylinder pivot right in front of it?!

[@DonnDIY]

Watch video again at 11:57

[@GingerPiston]

@ Ah, missed that bit first time watching! Thanks.

[@thunderstruck1078]

Wait, you cleaned the lathe and haven't made a video about it? Do you know how many guys with OCD, like me are now crying because they'll never see that?

[@olavikuriks2324]

Hei! Ma mingi aeg tagasi küsisin Sinult , et miks ei kasuta metsakäru vedu eelmise nn traktoriga. Sa ka vastasid siis, tänud selle eest :). Kuid jah, see lahendus tundub Sinu kasutust silmas pidades oluliselt mõistlikum, teha sisuliselt metsa väljaveo masin. Ootan huviga asja arengut! P.S. Sa oled suurepäraste oskustega, nauding on olnud jälgida Sinu erinevaid projekte. Jõudu!

[@DonnDIY]

Hei, kasutasin metsakäru veovõimalust oma UTV-ga, aga kuna kurvis sõidavad UTV ja haagis erineva raadiusega ringidel, siis haagis hakkas UTV-d lükkama. UTV on sisuliselt tõesti traktor, seega vedas selle raske haagise koos koormaga ka ilma veota välja (kuivemates tingimustes), aga manööverdamine ja UTV-sse peale-maha käimine ja haagise paika sättimine hakkas lõpuks närvidele käima. Nüüd see praegu ehitusel olev forwarder võiks asja minu jaoks lahendada, kuna tulemas on üks suurem metsategu ja -vedu.

[@РамильХасаншин-х3ф]

Привет, где лазерная резка?

[@kcraig51]

I think I may have been [one] of the first ones to "reprimand" you for destroying a good pair of Mitutoyo calipers way back when! I guess people still are.😳

[@blacksheep9734]

It’s pretty bad that he has to explain that they are scribing calipers in every video

[@АлексейСтрахов-е9м]

Очень долго

[@jeanbernier]

Un peu compliqué cette articulation......

[@martinschommer5881]

Donny was hast du eigentlich gelernt Maschinenbau oder so was 🤔??

[@DonnDIY]

Ich habe Holzverarbeitungstechnologie gelernt. 😀

[@martinschommer5881]

@DonnDIY Ist ja fast das gleiche 🤣🤣🤣👉👍

[@lorencolt]

grinder cutting in the field yes, in the shop hell no

[@dozer1642]

It’s so sad that you have to do a preemptive declaration about scribing calipers so the keyboard fabricators do not come unhinged about it. 🫣
