Mill - Bed and Head Stand - Part 1

[@DobleWhiteAndStanley]

Aw man! Ive watched all of the lathe an shaper videos to date, and now I see the mill videos and got excited. And then I see there is only one. Updated 3 years ago. (Edit oh wait I should have watched it the whole way through)

[@junkman6261]

Hopefully you will come back to KZbin someday. Enjoyed your videos.

[@adamlambert1307]

I would love to see this get finished. I really like this channel

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Yes! more Makercise ...you kept us hanging for a bit. Looks like a fun project, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@dappersapper]

Hey! Good to see you're still around man. Hope all is well.

[@Ryan6.022]

Dude... Why don't you have a million subs? This is amazing work.

[@zolatanaffa87]

Welcome back Chris. I hope your absence is not due to various problems, except for work commitments. As usual also in this video you have given an excellent example of care in the execution of this other part of the machine; congratulations, see you at the next videos

[@metalmill52]

Great video, Cressel! So glad to see you back on KZbin. Thanks for the tip about alignment pins! Looking forward to the next update!

[@procyonia3654]

Taper dowel pins if you can for future projects, that way if overtime the holes get wallowed out you can just ream them deeper, and it has a higher repeatability if you need to do alot of assembly/disassembly. Good video enjoying your gingery vids.

[@pink_love_cat4928]

Have you finished the mill i can only find part 1 ? Im ready to see it come togather

[@alloycrow917]

Really nice video edition, I like the narration style. Glad to see you back!

[@mdresf]

I will never build a mill but I still love your videos so much! Nice to see you back!

[@joedelamo1435]

Glad to have you back. Looking forward to some more Makercise action.

[@joshmellon390]

I'm going to get to work on my mill today.

[@bobbysparling9581]

wow i was really looking forward to seeing your headrest come together. love the video wish we could see the rest. or at least a finished shot. i wont be upset if you lost the footage of making it.

[@pgs8597]

G’day Cressel, good to see you presenting the series, pray you are well as we haven’t seen you for some time. Cheers Peter

[@MyHeap]

Great start Cressel. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next installment. Joe

[@CatNolara]

Very nice project, wish I could cast my own aluminium parts. One tip, we use tapered locating pins at work, the locating holes get reamed with special tapered reamers. Makes it much more accurate since you can jam the pins in there, and if it loosens you can just ream it a bit again.

[@zwierzq]

Hi, I am glad to have you back :) can't wait to see casting part of this mill and lumber in your workshop :) cheers from Poland :)

[@BensWorkshop]

Good to see you back.

[@WoodByWright]

Love the sun and Fun poster. that is one fly in I really want to go to.

[@Makercise]

It was HOT in FL in April. WI in July is much more comfortable.

[@joreosuna650]

Nice to see you back, that looks like an awesome project

[@darkshadowsx5949]

build all the gingery machines! Possibly only an exceptionally few amount people have built them all. You would be the first youtuber that i know of that made them all.

[@engfab456]

What happened to the rest of the series.

[@fazernaoficina]

Great..gretings from Brazil

[@blackknightcustom]

When will part 2 be ready?

[@dukedez1]

Finally back. Yay.

[@askquestionstrythings]

locating pins are a nice touch.

[@РусланСтрелков-т2ф]

Приветствую интересный проект, интересно было бы увидеть продолжение.

[@johnharding9936]

Hey. Love the videos. Be careful sanding on your surface plate, believe it or not it doesn't take much to abrade the surface plate out of flat with the dust produced. Maybe consider using some float glass to protect the surface. Ask anyone that's had their surface plate lapped. They even recommend a dust cover when not in use to prevent damage they wear easier than you'd expect.

[@phiwise_9489]

HYPE TRAIN NOW LEAVING THE STATION!

[@kendalllladnek9779]

soooo how about putting a 3 jaw chuck on that vertical spindle?

[@AlejandroAbt]

is this chanel dead? Im gonna make the lathe then the planer annnnd then the mill whisme luck makercise

[@sacriptex5870]

super cool! I love you man!

[@Andrichek]

It is very convenient to cut a thread with a screwdriver!

[@benimrmacovski1418]

Are you planning on making more videos in the future it’s really interesting and it would be a same if you didn’t continue with it I find them very entertaining and inspiring and hope to go through the gengrey books myself oneday I hope to see you again soon thanks for everything so far from a loyal subscriber

[@JMGDIY]

Nice, your back...👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@JamesP_TheShedShop]

Wondering how the mill is coming along?

[@domashniyesamodelki8334]

Where did he go?

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

Nice to see the progress in the level of your metal working skills. It must kill you to watch your lathe building videos!

[@backyardmachinist]

This is great! Where's part 2?

[@christophergraham4775]

I have the build series, but I am not finding any info on motor or electrical requirements. where do I find this?

[@AlejandroAbt]

finally that as a loooong time lets rock

[@JoeKlaas]

Hey, how are you ensuring the squareness of the vertical travel to the x axis (cross axis?) It seemed like there wasnt any adjustment made and you just accepted the surfaces

[@davidangelo8902]

HELP! I can't find any follow ups to the first milling machine episode. Are there any more? How do I get to them? Thanks. I like yourhe Gingery projects, I built the lathe back in the 90's. I got so into it I bought a Greaves H2 milling machine!

[@itsmeyourboymatteo8228]

I can’t find any of them too..

[@willwade1101]

They make tapping heads for drill presses.

[@jakeknight6154]

Any updates on this project or is it dead in the water? Dying of suspense

[@Zaniahiononzenbei]

I love this series! Very cool! Can I ask why you used countersunk bolts with an angled bottom surface? It seems like another variable to deal with when trying to maintain flatness of the cold-rolled steel.

[@Makercise]

I don’t have a way to counter bore the holes. The top of the fastener needs to be below the top of the ways so the carriage or spindle head has clearance.

[@jimmyhawkins7696]

Any more work on it lately?

[@gfr2023]

I don't understand this... if you put the cold rolled (not scraped not flat) steel over the bed (scraped flat)... how it could be your ways flat ?

[@learningwithlyricsandsongs]

Hello. How are you going to level the surfaces of the cold rolled steel that you've bolted on? Are you going to scrape that too? I'm just wondering how you're going to make it all parallel, square and flat. It's all very interesting to watch. I can't wait to see how you make it accurate. I think that I'll look at your shaper build videos. I'm itching to see how you got around all of the problems. Best wishes.

[@Makercise]

Yes. I scraped the CRS ways.

[@juanrivero8]

Building the Gingery mill is no light lunch. Suggest you also watch the PGS channel for a very detailed view.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

what PGS channel? i look it up with the channel filter and got a bazillion channels and im pretty sure its not about embryo's.

[@juanrivero8]

[@juanrivero8]

Just use the search bar and type in PGS or PGS Gingery mill and you're there. That is what the search bar does. The encrypted userids are there in case a contributor wants to hide behind an alias.

[@bradyoung6663]

Nice work Dude. So, are you a classically trained machinist, or self taught? I do want to tell you about Kant-Twist clamps( I may have not seen yours). They help out a ton when trying to keep parts lined up while tightening(very little shifting if any). Also, if the threads ever strip out of the aluminum/aluminium, steel thread inserts called helicoils are available with the proper drill and tap. They work incredibly well when using steel bolts in aluminum threads. Used them on high end parts that had to last against vibration and impact force. Have a good one.

[@Makercise]

Self taught. I need to get some kant twist clamps

[@SIB1963]

Welcome back! Happy to see you. Looks like you're going strong. What ever happened with the house? Did you just get out of the whole thing?

[@Makercise]

Thanks. I have steel stored over there under a new roof. Haven’t convinced myself to fix sills yet. My parents have an RV over there for now.

[@charadremur333]

@@Makercise cool. Could you give a 3d model for these metal machines? If not, its ok.

[@homemadetools]

Nice! Looking forward to this one. Feel free to embed your videos on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :)

[@hasanzakeri8708]

Great video, I'm very excited! So why any of the machines are not made with cast iron instead??

[@Makercise]

It is much less accessible to cast iron at home. It would be a better material for the machine but more difficult to more by hand.

[@ArcAiN6]

lol.. this was released on my birthday :D

[@pheenix42]

Interesting....curious as to how many man-hours are involved in building something like this?

[@Makercise]

1000ish +/-400 based on how I work and tools I have available.

[@neffk]

For the smaller holes, I think your drill press is set up too slow. I only recently started paying attention to feeds and speeds---it's magical. Also, WD-40 is what the guys at work use for lube when they're working with aluminum.

[@Makercise]

Yep. I need to get into feeds and speed. I know I need more lower speed and more torque for 8mm and up. Maybe an intermediate stage.

[@Orville9999]

been a year. when's the next video?

[@AlejandroAbt]

is the series dead,? come on please give us something

[@Rolo-Tony]

Shouldn't you be scraping the ways? What good is flattening the bed if the ways aren't true

[@aserta]

Oversize reamer, get one a smidge smaller.

[@grt8guy03]

Now I really want to learn to cast

[@Makercise]

Very fun. Go for it

[@bencesarosi7718]

Sadly, you appear to have abandoned this project. Tough luck for me, I would've loved to follow your progress.

[@abdeljalilpr2033]

ممتاز جدا

[@ArcAiN6]

I've watched a lot of these vids, mainly because i've had the gingery books for a few years now.. one thing i would like to point out, is i've seen a lot of inclusions, and air pockets in your castings, and would like to offer up a link to a youtube video that covers degassing aluminium. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qomqi3iNfdWle5I it should help reduce the air pockets in your castings.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

Someone sent him the castings he didn't cast them himself. 1:20 did you watch the beginning of the video?

[@andriosz]

I wonder how much of it is there because of lost foam process. Covering foam with plaster also might make harder for gases to escape.

[@thedistractedmaker]

It's looking good! PINS! I know, right! -slaps forehead-

[@renaissanceman5847]

what happened? is Makercise dead?

[@Strothy2]

go and look up scraping techniques could save you a lot of time... otherwise this is fucking awesome :D

[@BrianSmith-or1md]

Mr. Teeter, I am the original maker of those castings. You purchased them online(Feebay)from me. I also watched the video and noticed the comment was made that -"not all of the castings were there"-and I just want to make sure that got changed. You purchased those casting from a guy that lives in Tenn. Me. I put alot of hard work into making those castings for you and I deserve the proper "shout out" about them instead of cracking off that some was missing. If you are in reference to any duplicate items like handles- were included and you received them and I was paid. Now, what, 10 years later you decide to go public and bad mouth the maker of those castings. 90% of all of the alluminum used in those castings wasn't even scrap metal it was pure T-6160 bought by me from my local scrap yard and I can obtain the metallurgical papers to verify that, so I know how the castings even machine because I used/made the same when I built my Gingery lathe and other machines. I didn't get on here to start an argument or bad mouth anyone. Just a little thank you will do. The best thing to do if there was anything missing would be to tell the person instead of waiting 10 years and then go public making accusations like that. The hours I spent making those castings and this is what I get? Thanks! I will be watching how this turns out. I'll even do one better-what was missing and I will go out and cast them for you. How about that? I'll check these comments soon for your reply and you need a casting I'll cut it. Just don't go public and make statements like that about me and my handmade products. I'm not mad-surprised but not mad. Hear from you soon.

[@The.MisterE]

I guess this is a dead channel, now.

[@bobbysparling9581]

right!?

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Waste of time making anything from crappy castings like that.

[@customfabrications]

Why?

[@rameezsheikh7576]

hmmm. . then you give him money so he can buy one !!!!!
