Iam amazed of your machinist work at your age. Building from scratch is no simple task

[@allenmckinney9533]

Don't worry about making long videos. We'll still watch them.

[@98976h]

long videos are awsome

[@simplybeanjelly]

Haha that ending, don't worry Chris, we all make mistakes, you're not a horrible machinist, just learn and grow from your mistakes, keep up the good work, I'm excited to see part two!

[@MrWreeve]

I own a lathe and find the bit about hot chips landing on your person to be spot on. PPE seems like the OBVIOUS solution - as if those giving you flack have never operated a lathe in their life.

[@frankwhitt7245]

I agree.

[@nanomckomsncom]

I agree. You have to be smarter than the tools you are using, Every tool is dangerous one way or another. Im sure some people think it's stupid that chainsaws still don't have guards all over them :)

[@frankwhitt7245]

@@nanomckomsncom love this! Great point.

[@34bartm]

Chris. This is without a doubt one of the best channels on KZbin and it just keeps getting better and better with each video. FYI. I don't watch regular TV, Cable, or Sat. I only watch KZbin videos and I love your channel.

[@redpandaassasin6861]

It's funny and also kinda sad that you had to point out why you are taking safety precautions.

[@johnkoelliker4381]

All machinists make mistakes! A horrible machinist doesn't learn from those mistakes! Keep on turning.

[@carsonmiller9658]

Haha I get it keep on turning like turning the lathe

[@SharkyMoto]

i always wear gloves. its simple, just dont put your hands on the spinny bit and you will be fine. its not only the hot chips that really hurt but its also the part having sharp burrs or the dead center getting hot, or the drillbit getting hot. best rule is not "dont wear gloves", best rule is "dont be an idiot and be aware of where your hands should and will be"

[@ChinenovSamodelki]

As always, everything is at the highest level

[@jamesjohnson9557]

A vertical mill? OMG I want one! I think you just went from inspirational videos to heroic. Lol

[@rolandojatib9526]

ive been wanting to learn how to make a chain drive CV axle for a while but could find no good videos for making one. You have no idea how much I appreciate this video, keep killing it!

[@esqueue]

Please use the rpm gauge. It would be awesome if you could use the front and rear tires as rear tires on a single axle, that would allow you to use the speedometer as well. EDIT: Maybe I whould watch the entire video before commenting. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm certain that it will be awesome.

[@PaulioMaldinio]

Your in such a good position right now, you got a couple of awsome engines and the skills acquired to make summit sick

[@trecedaves3159]

Your a very talented guy, do your thing your way. The internet is full of guys who always know everything so just do your thing. If your taking requests however this build should be one that takes the rice buggy in a race..

[@97TRAKIN]

From welding a seat and steering mechanism onto a self propelled mower, to this... Freaking awesome!

[@trifiiniti9357]

Go for like a sandrail type look and make it light so it dumb fast man.

[@wodstalker2819]

Make it a 1 seater, lighter and faster !! By the way, are you sure the disc will be enough ventilated ? I would have done more holes

[@modelnutty6503]

be cool to have a semi narrow bench that can fit two, with steering wheel and pedals that can slide center or left in 30 seconds.

[@monkeydude3987]

Being honest and sharing lessons learned from mistakes makes you the opposite of a "horrible" machinist - super cool video I wish I had the opportunity to learn how to use tooling like this. Your videos also serve to inspire/motivate others to take on similar work!

[@seantap1415]

Mad skills....Good on ya for showing your mistakes as well..

[@philiprowney]

I have no idea why you think videos should be short. I watched Hert @ Hoonigaan bumble around with a Steam game for 2 hours yesterday. KZbin 'short attention span' is a very old idea.

[@lonestarracing7516]

He probably also does that to appeal to the KZbin algorithm because it favors creators that upload more

[@nanomckomsncom]

KZbin analytics don't lie... probably :)

[@cdp50359]

It's called the chunk. Great build btw! But if u keep poking on the keypad of the mill with anything other than your finger, you'll damage the board.

[@adamkellett5252]

So cool you got a new mill. You are a great builder. One can only imagine what you can do with your talent with more tools.

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

I really like the looks of 70s sand rails

[@jackmehoff2961]

Wishing you and your family a Safe & Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year ! Thank You for all the hours of Quality entertainment you brought us this year.

[@jamesgulrich7416]

Oh no! None of us have ever over turned a shaft. I am proud of you for showing the error/s and all machinists plunder from time to time ... me more than most. Keep turning and Merry Christmas!

[@ВячеславПосторонко]

Hello, I really like your activity on the channel, delight us and dale, please do not abuse energy drinks, they are harmful to the heart.

I haven't seen him drink that much in any of his videos really. Must be new

[@blackbartbartholomew7122]

You don’t have to apologize to anyone, do what you gotta do.

[@ItsMe-dj8zd]

Machine work is so satisfying to watch. Great to see you stepping up your tooling game. Your putting other home brew builders to shame. Very nice!

[@StreamerContentwd40]

Please build a 4 wheel drive go kart

[@SquidoftheD]

Great work Chris, I've followed your progress from the start of your lathe build, I can see you have dialed your lathe in a bit more and it looks to be running well, well done. Now you have a mill revisit your cross and compound slide. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't settle for that's good enough for a home made lathe. With your milling machine you have the tools to really bring the lathe up to spec. In machining there really is not a lot of room for that's good enough. I had an aprentice hand me a piece heavy plate and his square and ask me is this square enough, I asked him is it square he said just about, I said well it's not square then. Once again keep at it don't cut any corners and follow the process. I think people might find it interesting if you showed your project planning phase and how you determine where to start and why you have made that decision, you could tie in your process for costing as well. These are very important aspects or the industry.

[@rubenvillalvazo1917]

It doesn't matter the time of the video. I'm going to start the university, mechanical engineering, and I really enjoy watching your videos. Is amazing your work. I get a lot of inspiration for future projects and I always learn a new way to do something. Thank you. I'm a big fan, is really nice.

[@jstephenallington8431]

Love watching the videos, you have some of the best engineered work on KZbin. I'm really impressed at the quality of your work, and dedication to doing top notch work. I'm a machinist myself and I can tell you (for a fact) that the burns, cuts and scratches that you get from the hot chips are just part of your every working day. It's little differant than putting your pants on in the morning. You get used to it!

[@samcragg88]

Awesome build, can not wait to see where this one goes. Very talented fabricator. Well done mate.

[@marioordonez2865]

You are an ambitious creative builder, with the skill set to successfully accomplish big projects. It sad that there are a few people who need to criticize your work habits with safety issues that you are well aware of that would expose you to injury. As you have address those issues, I hope they have been put to rest and fans of your youtube will realize that you practice safety procedures that keep you from getting injured. Thank you for setting the record straight, and you can get on with the build.

[@user-neo71665]

Congrats on the mill. With that rotary table you have everything you need to start a high - low - reverse box for that buggy

[@eddyoddrod]

Super impressive. Even with the mistakes. It's called learning.

[@tylerhunt7552]

You're killing it man. Hats off to ya. Make this machine a fast one. That crotch rocket engine should be perfect.

[@banditosp]

4X4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kcraig51]

Wow...Nice shop. I've been machining for +30 yrs. ALL machines throw chips on your arms, chest, legs, butt crack, etc. , at least lose the gloves. Man up. That piece of plate is going to warp like crazy when it heats up. That's why rotors are cast. Make mistakes, lots of mistakes, you usually won't forget what you learn from them. Looks like you're off to a great start. I wish I had that equipment 20-25 yrs ago. You be careful, I'll be watching. Really good videos!

[@growmac3265]

Damn dude. I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago trying to come up with some ideas for building a few go carts for my wife, son, and myself. Gotta say u got some skills and awesome designing abilities. I'm still working through a lot of your older vids but looking forward to see what the future holds. A lot of people I know tell me I do good work but I fell like I got a lot to learn watching u. Keep up the good work man

[@jasonmushersee]

nice challenge to build a full size dune buggy. getting center of gravity right for drivability/handling is key

[@threewheelerboyz5771]

What ever the build is goin b sick with that 600

[@curtiswilcock5628]

Three wheeler boyz your right about that 😁🙏🔥 itsgoing to be lit

[@RastaBTv]

Yo don't be afraid to make a video with so easy length to it . We'll still just keep watching. Who complains about being entertained. Good show n Bravo. Be blessed Jah Rastafari Selassie I Jah

[@MongaloidMayhem]

The issue with using steel plate for a disc brake is warping from heat. Disc brakes require certain steel alloys to prevent warping from use. They also require a certain design for cooling.

[@footbalgeriano3142]

you're really a good machinist

[@albundyrocks2115]

"Measure twice, cut once"

[@4486xxdawson]

Measure at the end swear and start over , lol

[@MrMicknb]

I am currently building the same project. I am doing two seater. It is super fast and fun.

[@ybslo]

Thank You! You just answered a lot of questions i had for my own build. Can't wait to see the progress on this build.

[@djguy314]

Stuff happens, all I have to say about that... looking forward to seeing the next episode. Merry Christmas to you, your family and all the KZbin subscribers out there.

[@rleilander]

Lol!! Been there done that!! Adding is so much harder then subtraction!!! Well done for showing costly fails!!!!

Thanks. Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@reddymon]

Don’t beat yourself up. People that are afraid of making mistakes never learn from their errors. They don’t bother trying new things.

[@gchristensen80]

I honestly been waiting for this build since you showed us the parts!!!!

[@ians1464]

Love the Machining and the lathe work on your homemade lathe. Wow this is interesting already love it original creative.

[@prancstaman]

Awesome project!! What are the CV axles from? Never fear man. The bearings that don't fit, you can use a smaller bearing. Those are rotor bearings, so maybe look up the application to see if they are the inner, if so then look up the outer ones which are usually a little smaller inside diameter. Or find another application. If you still need the shafts.

[@tomc5275]

Great surface finish on those pieces for a homemade lathe! Always enjoy your videos :)

[@postalboars8780]

Would love to see like a 3/4 size trophy truck with that engine in it 👌 great work bro, love the channel.

[@davidjohnson-ve8ts]

it's a great pleasure to be watching your transformation in skills and tool level. love the video edits too!

[@4486xxdawson]

Im sorry but your not a horrible machinist, you do amazing work i wish i had a set up like yours , all the parts you make are professional looking to me . I want to build a rear end for a buggy build but will never be able to do anything as good as you , most likely i will just do a crappy solid axle , poor boy build lol or butcher we will see lol . Keep up the good work and positive attitude, really enjoy watching your vids .

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Merry Christmas to you too Chris. Very cool project - whatever it is! Love the home made lathe - I'm surprised you didn't build the mill...I guess it would take up too much material, what with 3 shots at machining a shaft.... :) All in jest, I really admire what you do and the attitude that allows you to do it.

[@vinnyvega1985]

Dude, your videos could be 2 hours long and I wouldn’t be disappointed. Keep it up!

[@NightshiftCustom]

do a jack shaft setup as its hard to get low gearing for the added mass of the buggy. i had to have custom sprockets made to get the gearing down on my custom buggy and its still needs more as the bikes are geared really high. and your best bet would prob be trailing arms for the rear. easy to do and strong

[@bwholz]

This has gone so next level and i'm loving it. Merry Christmas from Australia stay safe and keep these great videos coming.

[@lomsomesGarage]

Merry Christmas rule of thumb let it cool down before the final cut's so the metal won't be expanded and sneak up on the final one. I've enjoyed watching your show's for a while now keep making them great.

[@funnerthanbefore4947]

Merry Christmas bro.. I think you should do a 2 seater IN LINE instead of side by side.. all you need to do is make the person behind the driver sit with they're legs spread around the driver seat to shorten the frame length... It's doable... Raise the rear seat just high enough the rear passenger can see right over the driver's head.. then head back to the rice ranch and rip it up!!!

[@stunter052]

HI you can build a new project with 4x4 drive, I think it would be a great idea of power is not lacking, just the same transmisjon from the front of the suspension what do you think ?

[@Ron_A._Bolton]

Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New year to you and your family. Keep producing this content, it is great to watch.

[@sandman900rr]

i hope your ready for what your about to do to your perspective on the little engines you currently enjoy building with!! 😨 So Awesome!!!

[@russtuff]

That mill looks like it's a G0704 with a DRO. Nice.

[@davidjohnson3163]

Nice upgrades next level stuff

[@Mrkoyot95]

Finally!!! Fully independent suspension; )

[@bryduhbikeguy]

We're our own worse critic.You're an Awesome machinist Chris.Just wait until you get the digital controls down on the mill.I started with open lathes making front spindles for 3/4ton Chevy's.Within a year,I was training guys for CNC's.Yikes.You do much better than anyone I've seen.Merry Christmas to you,and all the fans.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

What MrWreeve says about Your choice to protect yourself is true.The chips fly and burn your hair,etc,if you don't know how to protect yourself.When a person is cautious,you won't burn yourself,or get shredded by the ribbons of steel.You do as you choose.(I had a steel sleeve for my cig lighter,so chips didn't make me Pop.I quit btw.Years ago.)

[@darinareyacrazyman1505]

Tough luck on the undersized shaft,I've been a machinist going on 30 years now,I don't make as many mistakes as when I first started,but they still happen.The difference between a master machinist and an apprentice?The master knows how to correct his mistakes. If you don't have a pair already,get yourself some digital calipers.When turning set the calipers to your finished size,then zero them.Then when you take a measurement the calipers will show you the total amount your workpiece is oversized at that point.Whatever dimension they read,remember the amount your cutting tool needs to move in is 1/2 of dimension (cutting on the radius). If your lathe doesn't have accurate dials on the crosslide,you can use a dial indicator mounted on the carriage to precisely measure it's movement.

[@crazycurly638]

Haha!! About time that Honda gets a home!!! Be warned, my CBR 600 does 90 mph in 3rd gear!! Awesome going with an IRS. You need a reverse tho. Roketa has awesome IRS transaxles with reverse, keep up the good work and don't sweat the petty stuff😁👍

[@landongarrett9442]

Been waiting for a cv axle build!!! Can’t wait for more

[@lesd40]

The mill is sweet...seems reasonably priced too.

[@fabianmurray7230]

Merry Christmas to you as well

[@Phil2stroke]

don’t be hard on your self shit happen! starting over is part of the game 😁

[@wolfknight3270]

Ignore the criticizers out there. You have your (valid, it seems to me) reasons for wearing protective equipment. Yes, certain clothing and jewelry items should not be worn while doing this kind of work, but ppe should be balanced out against what you are doing. As far as the length of your videos goes, make them as long as you need to. The first video of yours that I watched was when you made that lathe. I loved it and still like your videos, and would not mind at all if they were a little longer.

[@metalworksmachineshop]

Your not bad at it , you just have to remember. A 10thou cut is 20 thou off the diameter. Also a proper lathe with dials and power feed would help. I see your lathe has a lot of runout. So by the time it cut round the parts were to small. Nice little mill. You need a coaxial indicator to get your hole centers. The boring bar wasnt even coming close to being center. Unless the hole placement didnt matter.

[@Blurgamer17]

I like the Star Pattern Cross-Drill, but more holes = More Dissipation and Less Weight, in turn cooler Brake Disc/(s) if you plan to have two brakes.

[@watahyahknow]

wow thats a nice heavy mill , should be pretty useful with wat youre doing , it will give you tons more options of making stuff out of one piece instead out of pieces welded together the machine is one size bigger then my mill ,(bf20) merry christmas

[@retrox684]

you should make it a two seater that is like 3 feet off the ground. It would be cool to see it as kind of a sand rail style

[@EngelWulf]

As far as burning chips go im sure there is something that you can wear thats more skin tight and not baggy like a leather bracer thats super simple that snaps on

[@Caleb-yy2jt]

Like the videos, you always build one seater builds, you should make this one a two seater it would be nice.

[@patscopat]

Loved the ending, brother

[@SeaCowsBeatLobsters]

Holy crap how long were you turning that knob?! I suggest an adapter for your cordless drill like This Old Tony

[@frankwhitt7245]

Great job! Can't wait for part 2. Love the ending...lol

[@mpikas]

You'll get those crazy hot chips on a bought lathe, you just have to learn to deal with them. Don't worry about the gloves, just treat the spinny parts with extra respect. I think a lot of people believe a lathe is like a drill, they don't realize how much more you need to keep away, and that if you're close enough to something spinning on a lathe for a glove to be a problem, you have other problems. Along those lines if possible I do wear some better fitting gloves when I have to, mechanics gloves or even 7-9mil nitril (enough to protect your hands from most of the hot bits, but not enough to catch on a lot of things normal gloves would.

[@FinsleysCustomCarAudio]

Merry Christmas. Cheers from, Ohio. 🇺🇸

[@NAvionguy460]

Hi like your projects!! I agree long videos are fine. what kind of tubing are you using and how do you decide what size to use?

[@jimmytillery3717]

So V chassis independent front and read suspension single pass, rock crawling design

[@alistairfurnell126]

Merry Christmas Chris from new Zealand, love the mill

[@emersonpryor4766]

You need compressed air around your large to blow the chips away cos they can be caught in the chuck and pull your arms in and potentially cut you very badly. Learnt that from an engineer who had seen it happen

[@devonfretwell3351]

Did you make the cv ( the part that goes to the tire) if not can you please leave the link of where you got them

[@Daniel_Blake]

Long videos are the best videos lol. Lets do a 3 hour long one next xD.

[@mattdodds2954]

I like to wear a neck tie whilst operating my lathe. Just a neck tie.
