Hydraulic press CONTROL SWITCHES - Tshirt update

[@kirkmattoon2594]

A lot of KZbinrs these days would probably have 3D printed the complex box. Your machining of the part is much more satisfying to watch.

[@GeoffreyCroker]

Dude…! The fire plastic lathe thing…. 😮🔥🔥🔥 awesome!

It's magic though. dont try it at home okay ;)

[@Reman1975]

"Ca Lem, The most handsome machinist"........... He forgot to add how modest he is too. :D Am I right in remembering that Ca Lem once mentioned that he's a self taught machinist? If so I'm blown away with the project I just watched. I WAS trained as an engineer (By a well known aero engine manufacturer), and I'd still be a bit nervous about designing and making even a basic mechanical logic switch unit from scratch. I'd have to be pretty certain that there wasn't an off the shelf option before I'd decide I needed to bite the bullet and plan/machine one myself. To make one that looks like it's been mass produced on a CNC machine shows god like levels of engineering skill. Trained or not, Ca Lem certainly has some impressive talent.

[@cryptomoonshots73]

I seen a comment where he mentioned he learned from KZbin. Blown away to say the least.

[@steveu235]

Not just the most handsome but also the most talented.

[@DudleyToolwright]

Your work is always nothing short of stunning. You are an inspiration.

Thank you brother 😉

[@rord]

I think we can all agree, that is the correct vocabulary when the chuck “let’s go”! F-ing amazing to watch as usual!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

I ordered up, everyone needs one, support CaLem. Nice upgrade to the press.

Thanks uncle Randy

[@stewartthompson5039]

I have got to use that trick with the plastic knob and a blowtorch, when I think of how many hours I've spent polishing stupid knobs just to get some kind of Shine, and you did it in a few seconds, - Superb Work, and zero arrogance or complacency, Pure Genius, love it.

[@PhilVandelay]

Really smart and clean design! Also cool to see someone use POM for once, it's such a breeze to machine and often underestimated

I didnt show how struggled i was to get rid of warping on the lid from heat and clamping. So pissed off and then broke the endmill at the end. 😂

[@oONeMesiS0o]

Phil, maybe for your next project, you should make a 20 or 50 ton hydraulic shop press. Custom control switch of course. ;)

[@PhilVandelay]

@@oONeMesiS0o I actually have one, but it's a cheap chinese one I bought. Pretty crappy compared to this one, but it gets the job done - I use it very rarely so I'll probably make something I have more need for

[@oONeMesiS0o]

@@PhilVandelay understood… thanks for the great videos.

[@ShotgunAU]

I saw that part slip in the chuck and I immediately knew that feeling you get when you think you have to make it again and I also know the relief when you can salvage the part. Feels good when you don't have to go through it all again some times lol

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Dude, you are a freaking genius - even made a cam shaft with offset lands to run two switches per groove. I have some serious respect for you, man!

[@captivenut4122]

This is not machining anymore. This is art!

[@colt4667]

Beautiful professional job !!! Anybody who gave thumbs down is just jealous. Jealousy - pure and simple.

[@bchdsailor]

You never cease to impress

I know you, the guy watched and commented on all of my videos in 1 day. 😆

[@bchdsailor]

@ I'm an old fart with plenty of time (soon 65), it's weekend and too hot to do anything outside and with the missus visiting grandchild I took the liberty to enjoy youtube videos. I'm truly impressed by your skills and as a mechanic / service technician since 1972 I should know what I'm talkin' about

@@bchdsailor thank you sir. I appreciate that. Have a nice day!

[@joerogi8401]

Redefining CNC machining once again. CàLem Nicely Controlled machining. An amazing combination of artistry, machining skill and videography, definitely one of the very best and certainly easing the pain of the ToT void. Thank you so much CàLem.

[@espedaire]

I love the whole video, but particularly the etch-a-sketch action with the knob. Good video! Thank you!

[@gwharton68]

Your ingenuity in absolutely amassing.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday CàLem, the switch is a work of art and works absolutely spot on, you really do a great job mate, now to check out your store, Cheers

Thanks Matty 🥰

[@rickfazzini22]

That control box needs a clear plexi lid so you can show off the inside work. Your a great machinist buddy!

[@pedritomiralles]

Nice to have you back!

[@DanielPerez-bn9bi]

What a talent you are man! I wish you the best of luck finding a new home and shop!

[@adamstripp39]

Your videos are incredible. Can't get enough of them. Cheers from Canada!

[@rasmawik]

Insane I saw my name on one of the envelopes. I truly appreciate it. You are really talented and blessed to be able to work with these machines. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy wathching them.

[@retiefjoubert55]

Iemand by die poskantoor gaan baie gelukkig wees met sy nuwe bottel opener. Hahaha, mar die sticker van die tokolosh gaan hulle lekker skrik maak.

[@moejasss]

@@retiefjoubert55 that's if it doesn't go missing in whatever 'unrest' comes next 🤣

[@jpsimon206]

Wow! That is one slick design. I can't think of anything else that functions quite the same. It's so rare to see any actual new idea! Very very impressive

[@jpsimon206]

It's basically an electric over hydraulic spool valve!

[@glass1258]

That design is awesome, you have so much talent

[@artmckay6704]

Blown away by your talent! You aren't just handsome, you're absolutely brilliant! Amazing stuff! :) !!!!!!!!!!

[@mathankumar6473]

Man, you and your works are amazing, you nailed it as usual. And I'm happy I was picked in a give away for the 1st time, thank you so much Calem, stay safe

Man. Im really struggling with shipping service here due to covid. It aleady shipped. Hopfully non of them get lost

[@mathankumar6473]

@ it's totally fine the shipping taking sometime, as long as it didn't get lost, thanks calem

[@malcolm2501]

Haven’t been watching in a while. But it’s always a pleasure to see you work :)

[@Preso58]

I really liked the flame polishing on the handle. I hope my addled brain can retain that trick. Regards, Preso

[@fredio54]

10:26 must watch machining technique, amazingly perfect result from a very organic process. Very cool, CaLem.

[@cavemaneca]

That's a genius switch design, good work on it even if you almost had to scrap one part... And good luck with your shirt sales! Looking forward to getting one of those bottle openers.

You will get it in the next two weeks i think. Thanks buddy

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Ordered two t-shirts just now. Awesome design, Ca.

Thank you my man. Your openers are on the way

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

@ Awesome :)

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Outstanding design and build on the switch and entire press! Just ordered my tee shirt.. Thanks...

[@cirolastrusi6420]

The most handsome machinist hahahaha I love this guy, is a genius

[@joewhitney4097]

Another great addition to your press. Thanks for sharing.

[@kwk8363]

8:03 my heart just stopped, Flame polishing and single flute boring is just briliant! Why i never thought about it before Love the wd40 joke :D

[@guye7763]

Excellent work. Just signed up on the advice of that Aussie bloke. Thanks to both.

[@joandar1]

My Father used to say, if I knew half of what my Father has forgotten then I will be a smart man. Ditto for me. I your case I will say if I had as much talent as you have on ONE fingernail then I would be a lot more Talented. John, Australia.

[@davidharper4289]

As always............................PERFECT!! Cheers from Aus

[@jobkneppers]

Cà Lem, nice work as always. Some safety advice from my side; never climb cut on a rotary table. Any slack will grab the workpiece and destroy or damage the piece or break your endmill. I learned the hard way too ;-) Very nice trick with the flame on the Delrin knob! And a wonderful t-shirt design too! Thank you for sharing your journey! Stay safe and be happy! Best, Job

[@jakesworkshop2629]

Amazing work on the switch box and the t-shirts dude!

Thank you sir 💪

[@dave1812]

Incredible Project! That Switch is a Piece of Art!

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 like the black and white chips guy, keep up the good designs.

[@JT-tz5hp]

Always amazed at your craftsmanship. T shirts and sticker ordered!

[@matc87]

ohhhhh whattt I dont believe it. I just saw my name for one of those stickers 😁 thank you heaps CáLem and for sending it all the way to Australia..they look so cool. the shirts and merch look awesome too and enjoyed the clever switch and video

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

You sure have a lot of talent and skill. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@a320214]

Brilliant !! Thanks for sharing time and talent !!

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

Wow! That's the sweetest control box ever! 😀 That's an awesome press, great use of electronic solenoids and limit switches. Funny, a year ago I wouldn't have even known what was going on there lol. Haven't been able to keep up to some of my favorite channels these days, great to see your channel doing well 😊. Take care out there, Cheers! 👍😁👍

[@Rondawg60]

Ca, I'm glad to see you in the shop doing more amazing work. This was awesome. Great job, I will be watching for the next stick give away. Take care.

[@CoiaItaly]

You’re a funny guy… and a f…ing genius. Love it!.

[@zmmrd]

Best merch i have seen so far

[@kennethdejardin795]

Fantastic work as always love your workmanship look forward to your next post

[@Unrivaledanime]

Great job and I love the design of the chef T shirt

[@jedsmk]

Outstanding design and work. I am more of a mechanic than machinist. But your videos inspire me for the times I do make some chips. Thanks for that and your superb videos. Best regards to you. "As always, thanks for watching." I miss him too. ;-}

He's doing great. Having a beer with me right now 😉

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Another amazing video Ca Lem. Nice looking T-Shirts, stickers and bottle openers mate. Take care and stay safe👍. Regards Aaron

[@lactomao]

Art rulexor, congratulations. Ur genius

[@fredericrike5974]

Great to see your success! Hope conditions at home and abroad get better and soon! In the mean time, keep you and your family safe! A lot of us, even in areas thought safe are wearing masks, holding distance, avoiding crowds, washing our hands too often, all that. Be careful and we'll be here when you have more projects! And don't worry about cutting out the parts where your mother language "overwhelms you" - I don't think KZbin's Algorithm is that lingual! There is a price for success- often learning is part of it, but the learning process can seem like a kick in the pants sometimes! But first the learning, then some degree of mastery and finally the larger success! FR

[@glgreetham]

Once again, an outstanding and imaginative solution. Great work.

[@fredio54]

8:16 is that square bought or made? If bought can you tell me about it? If made is it in another video I can find or you can link to? Cheers.

[@Arcamedi1]

You win the design award

[@dano5812]

When I like the vid before the end. You are great!

[@fredio54]

You're a very special human being, CaLeb. I should watch more of your art, urrr, I mean videos :-) Everything is so well thought out. And by that I mostly mean the WD40/butane torch pranks. :-D

[@nocturnhabeo]

You produce some beautiful work and great videos

[@claeswikberg8958]

one tshirt ordered and paid for :) ill wear it with pride!

[@ericg7044]

Holy shit, you made the designs for those shirts yourself too? Astonishingly awesome. Sick control box too. Just wow.

Im better at that than machining though 😜

[@kapitanbomba5820]

Nice, Cheers from Poland :)

[@vorazechul]

Aaaaa good old omron switches. One switch for forward one for reverse, what is the third one for, maybe the pump motor?

[@daveb3910]

Second stage I think

[@DanKoning777]

Very nice. *God bless Cà Lem.*

[@AaronEngineering]

G’day Ca Lem. Mate, that was awesome. Great job on the solenoid block and rotational switch. I laughed so hard when I read your sticker “The Most Handsome Machinist”. I going to change mine to the “Full Figured Machinist”! ROFL 🤣. Speaking of stickers, yours look absolutely amazing buddy. Sorry to hear that your village is in lockdown. We are also in lockdown over here in Melbourne ATM. Take care 👍🍻. Aaron

[@MsTankrat]

Keep up the good stuff. Greetings from the netherlands.

[@giuseppesuriani2263]

Is that delrin? Very nice finish after the flame.

Awesome as usual..

[@ADBBuild]

I ordered a shirt and a sticker, sad I missed out on the bottle openers! I will definitely get one if you do another batch.

[@TheZahnputz]

good craftsmanship! but you can probably find a less wasteful way to make a plastic box. im sure youll find someone to print it for you or maybe try out styrene sheets with weld bond?

[@nostamine2567]

nice project and even better filming !!!! ALSO YOUR ENGLISH GOT BETTER :))) nice

[@ontheroadagain4773]

You're a very talented guy when it comes to make things, like this press. Thumbs up for that. BUT I don't like this control system neither the speed of the piston. This press could be a machine for real precision work if: 1. You use a manual proportional valve instead of those electomagnetic on-off valves and just use a separate switch for the hydraulic pump. Then you could control both the speed and the pressure on the piston properly. And it doesn't hurt if the pump is running idle for some time either. (You could of course have a push botton, or an on-off switch, on the control lever to start the pump when you start pressing, but not for controlling the oil flow). 2. The pump should be a lot smaller so the piston would move slower and be easier to maneuver. Simplier is sometimes better.

[@olivierlemoine867]

Good job and beautiful t shirts 😎👌👍✌💪😀
