Thank you for watching :)
This is how I made a 1/5 scale hydraulic car jack(bottle jack) from scratch.
+ Explanation of basic working principle through 2D animation.

For the mill you have, a rotating fixture table that allows you to make radius cuts. ;)

[@marian519]

an orrery please

[@sinciussynax]

the fact that you went back and cleaned up the cuts on the foot earned another sub, that little attention to detail is what my brain craves

[@AppalachianMotors]

You made a mini car jack and didn't jack up an rc car or truck lol seriously though nice job.

[@LM-sc8lu]

I love it!! I grew up in a mechanic shop where bottle jacks were considered a third arm. My grandfather offered twenty bucks to anyone who could carry one of our twenty-ton jacks one mile without changing hands or setting it down for a moment. I just remembered that until I watched your video. Gramps has been gone for forty years, so thanks for the memory! You haven't lived until you used one to jack up a semi along side an interstate in sub-zero temps!!!

I have to tell you an embarrassing thing. At 2:35, when the mill stopped, I literally blew on my phone to clear the chips.

You and JohnnyQ90, are two of my favorite channels. Simply, informative and relaxing. The ASMR of machining.

[@dantevito1193]

Would love to see it tested against a scale

[@redneck_cowboy7826]

Just not tested to the “failing point”

[@dantevito1193]

@@redneck_cowboy7826 the failing point would likely be the o-rings, so that's relatively easy to repair anyway. I don't think the metal itself would break

[@6daysago167]

Exactly, I only watched to see it tested to its limit. Once I saw that rubber plug I was instantly disappointed

[@dantevito1193]

@@6daysago167 the rubber plug only seals the oil reservoir, it's never exposed to any pressure

Finally. A decent video of an obviously talented mill operator that has no blah blah yackety yack and no crappy Muzak. Love it.

You're a bloody genius. What I would love is a commentary or subtitles to explain what magic you are actually doing, and why you do it the way you do.

You had my interest during the manufacture, but the concise explanation of the mechanism's function after? Now, sir, you have my attention. Fabulously edited.

[@jackrichards1863]

I think you earned compliments for the filming and schematic demonstration. Also for your steady patience while making this humourous tiny tool. It must have a great powered ratio ? Two or three hundred pounds, I'll estimate! Wonderful machinery. If you know the upper limit of capacity ( which I'll search for next) do let us know in reply? Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@ma-lakshmifabricator7549]

Overall, this is a highly informative and enjoyable video for anyone interested in engineering. It showcases your talent and expertise while providing valuable insights and inspiration to fellow enthusiasts. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your content in the future 👍👍👍

[@Kumquat_Lord]

Your videos are always worth the wait!

[@MakerB]

Glad to hear that!

[@aserta]

23:27 this reminds me of a desktop "toy" that my uncle received when he retired from the mining industry. About the same size as the jack you made, a fully functional antique style miner's lamp. My brother and i would always sneak it out to play with. :))

[@DrDaveSalisburyPhDMBA]

Incredible scale work! Thanks for sharing!

[@markhedquist9597]

Wow. Just, wow, man. Excellent work. I loved the testing rig. Quite impressive lift!

[@JasperRoth]

I actually think this little jack could be handy for all sorts of stuff around the shop! Never know when you need a tiny press. Or you could squeeze it into a body panel cavity to push out a dent! Cool stuff dude!

[@MakerB]

There will come a day when it will be useful, right?

[@JasperRoth]

@@MakerB I bet you'll find a good use for it. So long as you keep working on stuff 😉

[@geoloussian5856]

You can use it to lift rc car to change wheel

Beautiful scale piece, enjoyed the build completely. Are plans an available for this project, it might be fun for a winter project. Cheers!

[@mexlemax3307]

Yes, this is really excellent work. Super! Now I finally know where my little jack is. I've been looking for it for so long. Thanks again for this nice tutorial.

[@adamfabing8250]

glad to see you back. I super enjoy your videos!!!

[@akefayamenay104]

Thank you so much for the illustration at the end! I was really wondering why you built the cylinder the way you did until I saw that the outer ring was the reservoir. I also wondered why you drilled a hole in the inner cylinder until I saw the animation and realized that was a bypass for when the piston reached full height (which was something I had wondered about during the demonstrations). I guess the fill plug has just enough compliance to allow air in/out of the reservoir during use but not enough to allow liquid to leak. Very cool. I hadn't ever thought about how these jacks work, but they are really very cleverly designed!

[@MakerB]

Thanks! I really appreciate your feedback. That means a lot!
