[@CaseyPutsch]

What a fun day machining and what a better use of a mall!

[@jamessheets9205]

Just some tips for you: use the knee adjuster for setting your height of material to take off. The lock on the handle you were using doesnt always hold and can be pushed up while milling sometimes. You don't have to remove the handle on the knee adjuster you can just put it on backwards. Also be careful with clearing chips with your hands. There are times where they can be like razor blades. You don't want to grab a handful of those! Use a paintbrush or something like a screwdriver. I just want you to stay safe so you can keep making videos :)

[@davidgray6852]

You need to make some key chains to help pay for everything. Itll also teach the kids about the sales.

That Fab Lab is legit great, there’s were we as society and a lot of brilliant minds are limited when countries have those kind of equipment from those era’s. Governments from all over the world should make a Fab-Lab like that just to give people the reach to keep inventing and reinventing their lives and the world.

[@opieg7333]

Those first minutes are a testament to the demise of the shopping mall. Our adolescent hang outs have become surplus machine tool storage - although back in the day, we often went to the mall in hopes of finding something to drill. Those old big manual tools are the best. I was lucky enough to have a buddy with a father that had a full classic machine shop out back with which any dream could be fabricated. And yes, ALWAYS wear the safety glasses - every time I look in the mirror and the spots on my eyes, I wish I had taken that advice to heart sooner.

[@mattpovah5952]

Both of those tools, the big machining apparatus and the laser cutter, are absolutely awesome. I wish we had a facility like that here for kids and others to have access to use and learn about gear like that.

[@fatpad00]

I helped my dad last weekend in the pits at the MotoAmerica round Road Atlanta. He had a fairing mount bracket break during practice. We had just hours until the first qualifying session, so ordering a replacement was not an option. So what did we do? Grabbed a scrap bar of aluminum, borrowed an angle grinder from another team to cut it to length, drilled a couple holes in it, then with liberal application of elbow grease and channel locks, bent it to the right shape. Bolted it up and bam! No more flappy fairing

[@kimotorsports6174]

Making me miss machine shop class with this video. I always loved running manual mills and lathes, getting a job running CNC production killed the fun for me but I've been away from it long enough to want to get back in to manual machining. Thanks for another great video Casey!

[@LGaidjrg_non]

Casey is like if Tyler Hoover and B is for Build had a baby together. Love his charisma and craftsmanship so much

[@knote4958]

9:51 My uncle agrees with this sentiment. Even though he doesn't hold a degree, he was hired by his firm as an engineer and worked up the ranks all the way to a project manager. Throughout his life he's been a DIY mechanic, electrician, carpenter, automation technician (back in the 80s, old logic circuits), and then finally an engineer. He's basically an all-around tradesman. He tells me that the hardest part of his job is actually getting new engineers on the job to cooperate (namely the ones fresh out of college). They often cause conflicts working within project groups, and they get indignant towards him whenever he's trying to drop advice for best practices, as if they shouldn't have to listen to some Gen Xer with no degree. They especially get confrontational whenever he looks at their CADs and points out potential design problems (him having both design and wrench experience to spot trouble areas), yet when he gives them the benefit of the doubt those problems often come to fruition and they have to backpedal to re-design the component.

[@lukeamato2348]

This is amazing I wish I had a place like this near by to have access to. I’ve been working on my own small engine design and it’s been a real struggle just to get access even to a drill press. Made my own castings and everything and I’m constantly at a standstill because of access to machinery

[@LifeatSpeed]

That place is amazing! Wish we had something like that near me, would be so useful! I got spoiled growing up, we had a big shop and my dad being a machinist by trade got us a Bridgeport mill and Monarch lathe to custom machine parts for our hot rod projects.

[@sttk913]

That is so cool, I wasn't aware places like this existed. I ended up buying an old lathe and mill off craigslist several years back. Nothing like old school tools.

[@rotorblade9508]

That shop is very cool. I have a small lathe, a manual milling and a cnc milling in my flat but they are very small, only good for small aluminum and small steel parts 13:25 yes, I often use the manual mill rather than the cnc because it’s much easier to set up and go

[@kopski6531]

Best Mall EVER!!! Would absolutely love to have access to a place like this! So many ideas and so little time!

[@ShadowBurn680]

At the college I went to they have a pretty nice machine shop. but some kid literally got a cut and fainted at the sight of blood so they shut it down and didn't want to let anyone into it for the rest of that semester... what did they think was gonna happen in a place with spinning metal and sharp tools?

[@samholland7793]

My dad had a Mill and my dad used to let me play with it (it was turned off). One of the reasons I love anything mechanical

[@jacobmyler7689]

3:54 Probably for this very same reason; I was schooled using a CNC mill before I was allowed to practice milling with one of the hand crank old school machines during a high-school engineering program. Not only is it safer and harder for me to screw up, it actually was easier because the mastercam software computed everything from my CAD drawings into G-codes or whatever instructions the CNC needed to mill the part for me. Learning to CNC and mastercam did not make me better at milling though since nothing really transferred back to the old machines application.

[@brianspenst1374]

I still used a scroll saw that my grandfather purchased in the early 1950s. It still works like a champ.

[@JeffKnoxAZ]

A bit of WD-40 would have helped a lot. Helps to keep the aluminum from sticking to the mill cutter.

[@pkuudsk9927]

Every town /city needs a place like that. It's so hard to get a prototype or a 1 off part made to restore something.. High school was that place back in my day, minus the laser cutter and 3d printer they hadn't been invented yet LOL . It makes no sense kids don't have the tools to use at high school. I still have the C Clamp I made in grade 10 at school in machine shop on the shaper , lathe, bridge port , knurler ,. Kids are getting riped off of a decent education, put these tools back in schools , the satisfaction one gets from taking a chunk of steel or wood and making something is priceless. Theory is useless without hands on experience. We had 3 different types of high schools 1 for the brain kids 1 for teck minded kids and 1 for the "well we have to teach them something so they can be a part of society " Kids came out of with a butchers / baker degree , agriculture degree ect.. High school set you up to enter the work force then , now it's a disaster setting kids up for failure and debit for life. Screw China North America needs to bring back manufacturing jobs so kids have a job to go to right out of school or the economy will tank to 3rd world levels .

[@paulreese9452]

Casey, I actually asked my teachers about why there aren’t shop classes in high school, and the reason they gave is safety, because kids don’t have basic tool safety instincts anymore.

I know there not many maker space (ie. Fablabs) per states, most of them require that you're in a college, but there is few like the huge maker space in Albuquerque, NM that allows people to get training on anything they want to build. There definitely great places to learn new skills.

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Thanks. Good lesson. 👍

[@dustdriverdd]

I wish there were more fablabs with proper lathes and stuff. But the few that exist (don't even know if they have a lathe) are closed during this covid ordeal. It has been too many years since i used one though, back in the beginning of highschool.

[@olsonspeed]

The Fab Lab is fabulous. The post- apocalypse mall location is unique.

[@maddoxwca]

You have to love an old Bridgeport. Thankful for my toolmaker/machine repairman/engineer dad. He’s trying to show me how to use one. Of course I’m using it to make pew-pews....

[@maddoxwca]

Melissa Hill that’s not the point. The point is learning something. Trying something new. Using my hands to create something. My something just happens to be different than maybe someone else’s. And if you think that a toolmaker or a machine repairman doesn’t know anything about machining you’ve obviously never spent any time in a factory watching a skilled tradesman fix things.

[@maddoxwca]

Melissa Hill I believe we are misinterpreting each other. I use machining to build pew pew parts as well as car pieces. Lol

[@305Solid]

A little cutting oil woulda gone a long way. Glad your showing the old school way. Bridgeports are awesome!

[@dastardlydave1455]

This is a really cool facility to expose kids to the machining / manufacturing arts. I still have all my projects from high school and college shop class. I got in an argument with a teacher in college about using left handed and right handed tools at the lathe on the project. He won, because I was the student. Now with years of experience, I could run circles around him. I have programmed huge 2 ax lathes, 4 ax lathes, 3 & 4 ax mills, mill-turns, laser cutters (metal), laser markers, 4 ax edm (also in Ohio). And he was wrong. P.S. I only winced once when you were running the Bridgeport. I wouldn't have grabbed spinning chips no matter the material. Just me.

[@gregkun1]

Yeah, I agree. While getting my Aerospace engineering degree. All I did in college was math and physics. the only thing I built was a stupid mini crane made from balsa wood. Got an A on it because my crane design was so sturdy that the electric motor couldn't lift the 90-pounds of weight so we had to pull the wire to lift the weight eventually the wood snapped a 110 pounds. lol were everyone else never made it past 5 pounds.

[@zacht9447]

I did Use these at my college cause my college required this kinda thing to graduate with an ME degree and we got to play with CNC and we used manual lathes for our senior design project and that was only in fall 2019 hahah So and even the software and electrical engineers have to turn screwdrivers to graduate haha. But this is Iowa State most of the people in iowa are a little more hands on than some other places.

[@danielnewton2390]

My high school had a small woodshop that was awesome as well as the opportunity to take classes at another location that had machine classes. In retrospect, I probably would have enjoyed them, but the administration seemed to treat it as though those classes were not for the "smart people." I was discouraged from taking those classes, and never really considered it too much because my grades were high. The idea that everyone should go to college is absurd, and hurts a lot of really smart people by telling them they are not smart or capable of success because they wouldn't do well in college. That's how I feel anyway.

[@Point_Particle]

Here's what you can expect out of five years in a university for a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree, for as little as $60,000: 1.) Lot's of book work and time spent on memorizing the mathematics (linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations) which form the foundation for the fundamental physics by which all mechanical and aerospace engineering is founded. 2.) You'll take a few classes that dabble in the fundamentals of materials, thermodynamics, measurements, basic structures, orbital mechanics, flight performance, stability & controls, and propulsion. And by dabble, I mean more book work and equations. 3.) You may get to do a few very tiny projects for a wind-tunnel experiment, or maybe get to 3D print something for your senior design project. As far as opportunities for hands-on experience like Casey is talking about, there is almost none. The university I attended and graduated from had a small formula racing team, and an even smaller rocketry team. But those are all things you have to manage in addition to your normal course-load. They are optional - not something the university is going to take time to teach you as part of your degree plan. There are tons of opportunities out there for people who run mills and lathes, and do CNC programming, all of which you can be trained to do without any time in a four-year university. Casey is correct when he says not to turn your nose up at trade schools.

[@fast.biking_freddy]

Merch?

[@mickcoomer9714]

What a fabulous place that Fab Lab is. If you are doing any type of machining if you put a bit of chalk or marking out blue on your workpiece you can see when you are juuust touching it with the cutter. You seem to be anti computer, why? A computer is just another tool. To not use one when it the most suitable tool is as big a mistake as not using a big hammer to do a job where brute force is needed. There is no right or wrong way to do a job. If it works it is the right way. There may be quicker or easier way to do a job but they are just degrees of rightness. Oh yeh. Please keep your hands away from cutters that are still turning, swarf can drag fingers in and make a right miss of them.
