Homemade Boring Head Build Part 2

[@2barrell]

Its great to watch you rocking in your chair in time lapse.

[@MattysWorkshop]

I was pretty relaxed to mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@RobertBrown-lf8yq]

Yeah….. some machining operations are cathartic eh? ( particularly watching a shaper). As opposed to newbie participation on a CNC machine…. bloody stressful 🤣🤣🤣 Great build Matty 👏👏

[@jaymann]

You have both the ability & the balls to make one, Matty.

[@improviseddiy]

Having a chill while cutting the dovetails. 😂 Nice work!👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

You think I’d sweep the floor of do something constructive, maybe next time🤣, thanks for watching, cheers

[@samleigh7817]

Keyboard warriors, only looking for mistakes to crow about, you have the balls Matty, huge big, induction hardened, ones. Every week you put up a video, filmed and edited by yourself AND you include your mistakes, unlike them who don’t have the balls to do the videos in case they make a balls up. Keep up the videos, looking forward to the next one.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, we all make mistakes and I make plenty, I’m amazed at how many don’t but when you watch closely you will see a different piece of material show up, I believe showing my mistakes will help other to not do the same, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Please don't apologize for time lapse. I for one value and appreciate every single video you produce. Time lapse, slo-mo, voice over, 4X, 10X whatever. Just keep doing your thing!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m going to keep the format the same, it works and it’s not to bad to edit, thanks for watching and commenting mate, cheers

[@JamesP_TheShedShop]

A recliner in the shop! That is a brilliant idea ! Love it 😁

[@MattysWorkshop]

All you need is a computer chair mate, bloody good thing

[@inspector1794]

That turned out really nice. Maybe make a brass trim ring around the scale. It could cover the gap and add a bit of bling too. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that’s a good idea, I’ll do something with in the future I’d say, thanks for watching, cheers

[@markwatters6875]

Top unit mate. Don’t blame ya having the blower on trying to warm the shed, the joy of the unlined tin shack. Anyhow, have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Gday, the weather has been all over the place here lately, can’t make its mind up, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@wrstew1272]

Matty- those who don’t like time lapse can make their own videos and show their buddies how gifted They are. 😂😮😊

[@MattysWorkshop]

Exactly my thoughts to but I can’t really say that on camera 🤣

[@adamdiaz8442]

Making a nice long live centre would be a interesting project 👍🏽

[@MattysWorkshop]

This is something I’m going to have to look at soon mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@kenmurray4232]

Time lapse is not a problem here. I enjoy watching the progress being made. You made me chuckle about the math & log books. As a retired trucker myself I had a few fall out the window especially when the DOT were doing inspections. A little harder now with the electronic logs. Thanks for sharing

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m glad you had a laugh, it’s cheaper to get rid of it rather then hand it over, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

My COE had an ashtray mounted on the dash. Lift it out and it was the perfect size to slip a log book in. Kept a couple in there at all times.

[@markdouglas5542]

Matty your attention to detail and quality of finish is absolutely awesome, a joy to watch mate

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks Mark, Im always trying to get the best finish, i'm forever playing with speeds and feeds, Thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers

Thanks Max, possibly onto a set of plans, thanks for watching, cheers

[@thesjyoungjr]

Hey Matty, it is always good to see your videos. The videos I like are the ones where it feels like I'm visiting a friend and spending a little time in the shop with him. I'm sure there are others who feel the same. Thank you again. 😊😊

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, thanks for the kind words mate, I don’t change for the camera and I say it how it is, maybe that’s the difference, thanks for watching, cheers

[@Crusher9mil]

Idea for the dial/hole alignment. Over size the hole on the correct center and size it so you can fit it with a brass ring and press fit with loctite. A little bit of bling...

[@MattysWorkshop]

That’s a bloody good idea mate, cheers

[@nigelroberson8911]

You’re a perfectionist and any tiny deviation makes you angry with yourself. Thats good but dont fret, if it works thats the test.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I don’t think I’ll have any to with it working, im still waiting for the boring bar to arrive, it’s somewhere between Melbourne and here as far as I know, thanks for watching

[@joell439]

Awesome. Can’t wait to see it in action. 👍😎👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I keen to see how it goes to mate, cheers

[@Preso58]

Yeah, I'd be dead keen to see a boring and facing head build Matty. Let's hope someone can supply the drawings. Bolt and Nut Australia sells hardened and ground dowel pins in various sizes. They're great for fixturing and measuring dovetails. Caught you in your chair watching TikTok videos😅

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Preso, if I can get the plans I’ll have a go, I’ve brought from Bolt and Nut before and there prices are good, I didn’t realise they did dowel pins, I must checkout the TicTok thing, only watch YT and instagram, thanks for watching, cheers

Love the time lapse

[@warrenwise8127]

I recon you'd make a great boring and facing tool, you have the skillset for sure

Thanks Warren, if I can get a set of plans I’ll probably have a go mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@josephlovell6951]

Nicely done for an old truck driver. Lol I'm still running the roads in the states been doing it for 20 years. Lost many logs. Over the years. Running ELD now

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the way the law is here I’m glad I’m outa trucks now, it’s getting harder and harder mate, cheers

[@josephlovell6951]

@MattysWorkshop that's a fact. As you would say I live in the bush. So it pays better than anything at home. That I can find. So I do what it takes to pay the bills...

Pmsl @ the log books falling out the window when you were trycking. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@MattysWorkshop]

Plenty went out there mate

[@DudleyToolwright]

What amazing work. Criterion watch out.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I don’t think Criterion have much to worry about mate😂, cheers

[@bostedtap8399]

Brilliant work Matty, nicely featured boring head. No problem with time lapse, it best suits machining, and shows all steps taken. A trick to make a reamer cut oversize is to run a file in the flutes, to raise a burr, or find a smaller diameter pin/wire to fit in a flute , bodges both. Thanks for sharing, and i need a rocking chair in my shop lol. Regards John

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday John, Ive never heard of that rick with the reamer, Must try that one day, Id be lost without that chair, is just a computer chair we brought years ago, we upgraded so this one ended up in the workshop, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@graemewhite5029]

On small reamers, I've used a matchstick placed between a couple of flutes and a "splinter" of pallet wood on bigger reamers to get them to cut slightly oversize.

[@bostedtap8399]

@@graemewhite5029 Good idea.

[@HM-Projects]

Good project ahead to make yourself a nice narrow dead centre for the tailstock.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that’s a great idea, might look into that soon, thanks for watching, cheers

[@nortiousmaximus940]

very nice as per usual young sir, l honestly don't see the need to build another, just because that hole is a little off center, call it a deliberate quirk, and build something like it into everything you make, and see how many of us viewers can spot it. with regards to the time lapse, folk can easily fast forward through if they need, you could put those bits in, in reverse, so the chips are going back onto the part, keep up the good work. l'm already looking forward to next week.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it does add a bit of character that’s for sure, really appreciate you watching and commenting, cheers

[@MrPossumeyes]

Thanks, Matty. Enjoyed. Noticed you had a mate visit - a man needs mates. Specially mates who bring a few beers round, just to pass the time. And as for maths? Well, I love Cryptic Crosswords, I can spell any word you want and I know what most of them mean......., but when it comes to Maths my brain just fails to work. Thanks for posting, Matty, and don't stop.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I wish I had of paid attention at school and learned maths, if I had my time again it would be different, it’s good to have mates drop in but I don’t drink alcohol so it’s tea and coffee here mate, appreciate you watching, cheers

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

The pin method is easy once you learn the tricks. The pins need to be of a size where they are in tangent contact in two places! This where most folks mess up.

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

Great video. Useful information. Now, since you on the tool and die wagon, how about making a tree taper boring facing head. These are incredibly useful.

That does sound interesting

[@RB-yq7qv]

Hi Mat. Nice bit of work. Your attention to detail is great and nothing better then the part coming out 100%. I found in this build you where a little preoccupied with math's and having to use over size cutters. Sometimes it better to sit back and look at the issues and wait a little longer for the right tools. You many would be interested in looking around the property or town when you are waiting on things to arrive. Maybe a trip over to Trevor's place and some back ground stories. If nothing else it will lower the blood pressure. Well have a great week and yes winter is cold this year.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, one day I should do a video explaining my background, it’s not all that exciting I feel though, cheers

[@samrodian919]

G'day mate. Top notch build Matty it's a pity about the hole, but other than that it's a fully functional boring head. As you say it is what it is. You certainly have the ability and the balls to make the boring and facing head.I've not actually seen one but if it's as you describe it Matty you're capable of making it! Cheers from the UK. Sam

[@matthewsmetalworkshop]

A boring and facing head is a tough project... There's a book by Graham Meek, 'Projects for your workshop vol 1', which includes plans for a boring and facing head. I've seen a 2X scale version of his design, because the builder couldn't handle the precision required. It would be awesome to see you do it, but there's a lot of tiny, tiny parts.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it’s going to be a challenge and there’s only one way to know, hopefully I’ll get some plans mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@robertoswalt319]

Congratulations on the successful build and on the dovetails. One thing you might do is to look at the dovetail cutters that Randy Richards has made. I made one and it works really well. As far as the gap around the dial, perhaps make a bushing out of brass so it looks intentional and fancy.?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Robert, I have seen Randy’s cutters, by the time you pay shipping to Australia there getting a bit pricey, I did make one a few years ago but I’ve never been happy with it, appreciate you watching, cheers

Great build Matty! I like how you found a work around for the 16mm reamer . It is amazing how creative we can be when we are trying to finish something. I needed to drill a 1” hole in some 1/4” aluminum plate the other day and my biggest bit is 3/4”. Then I seen a spade bit for boring big holes in wood and the lightbulb came on. With slow speed on the drill press and some WD-40 it worked great. Ok I’m rambling now.Be Safe!

[@ThePottingShedWorkshop]

Good result! Yeah, I wouldn't be happy with either the finish on the blending radii or with the dial not being concentric with the hole either, but I could easily see myself ending up with ghe same result if I made on too. If you do get plans for a boring and facing head I'd love to grab a copy and have a crack at making one, because I can't justify the insane price for a nice one like a Wolhaupter. Not that I'd use it that often, but as they say, better to have a tool you dont use that to need a tool you dont have.

Just thinking about the mistake. Maybe you could bore out the area around the dial larger and centered then press a brass sleeve in there, turn it down to flush and polish the brass up to a desired finish then scribe the indicator line through it.

Gday, that’s a great idea, I’ll have to do it something with it at some stage, thanks for watching and commenting, cheers

👍 Great build Matty. If the gap bothers you, maybe counter bore again and fit just another larger dial face to the current screw.

Re live centre Joe pie has some small extensions he uses on his sometimes on small parts, hard to get to etc. keep going to make some myself one day! nice vid, prefer the time lapse👍

Gday, I put 3 holes in simply because it looks more uniform, no other reason, I only put 2 in the 2” boring head and to me it doesn’t look right, I’m going to have to do something about a live centre soon, thanks for watching, cheers

Gday, I’m slowly moving over to metric but it’s taking some time, keeps my brain active working in both, thanks for watching, cheers

As for the hole for the dial, why not bore it open a millimeter or two and put a brass bushing in it for decoration?

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks a great idea mate, at some stage I’ll have to do something with it, cheers
