[@marcduthie4327]

I know this was a while ago but welcome to Australia any way. Hopefully you enjoyed your time here. Marc from Australia

[@ludvigtande1236]

Love brothers working together. Lost mine 7 years ago. Miss the times together.

[@willtricks9432]

'We are going to look at the picture and copy it'. I live my life by that rule. Cheers

[@hayhaydz]

Something about your videos is so satisfying, please continue to make them, i love them so much!

[@moreteavicarfromengland8299]

Good to see you again , grand video nice to meet Ralph woodthumper !!

[@tanja8907]

Good afternoon Sir Ironthumper. Great to see a Bodger at work...

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Brilliant boys. Good to see your brother is over is South Australia, great part of these southern lands. Enjoyed that.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Ahhh lovely to 'see' you again . Enjoy Aus. X

[@PoPsyche]

The world is full of coincidences. I love to watch your videos of you on your pleasant patch of green English land. I now live and work in the uk and today I was surprised to see you in the Adelaide hills where I grew up. Visited my Dad in Mt Pleasant, SA at Xmas. Hot and dry in the high 30’s/low 40’s at that time. Hope you loved it there. By the way, our brother has picked up a bit of an Aussie twang. Cheers Max for your great video content.

[@michaelcoghlan5521]

“We will mostly be looking at the picture and making it up”... classic! Your brother is a deadset bloody legend (as they say in Australia)

[@harrylawrence5300]

I let out a little “yaaay” when I got the video notification. Missed your content Max

[@mattford3627]

cool project! awesome that you were working with your brother.

[@celticdude4686]

Good your still alive and you look well. My wife and I were going through some MAXIMUS withdrawals.

[@deadmeat6563]

Nice that you are back even if upside down.

[@growingknowledge]

Great to see you back. Congratulations to your brother and his wife. Nice little brothers project. Please keep making videos.

[@tomcardale5596]

What a great brother to have laid on such entertainment!

[@twocvbloke]

Nice work there, and the fact you get on with your brother so well is pretty good too... :)

[@maximusironthumper]

Yeah, he's a cool dude!

[@Danni-5]

Good to see your alive and well, hope to see some more projects with Ralph befor you go home.

[@blackyhimself]

Your videos manage to somehow be both relaxing and motivating at the same time. Keep them coming Max!

[@druid201]

Before I even watch, I'm glad you posted. Hope you're well. From further north. White rose. 8 )

[@scopex2749]

OMG I love HK I worked out there for 6 months on the new Peak Tower!! When we were there it was a building site and we had to come down from the top of the building NO SIDES on the stairs! NO lifts! Please dont go moving to Kangaroo land - England needs you! Often thought about having a go at one of these when/if I find a bit of land to play around on.

[@English.Andy1]

Wow, who would have thought it, applying your skills on the far side of the world. I take it your not to keen on flying? Another great video Max, great to see you back as we missed your calm teaching manner.

[@apollorobb]

Great Seeing you again Max .

[@zennor_man]

Well done all......makes you have complete respect for those chair bodgers of High Wycombe that churned out top quality work in the forest on pole lathes....

[@trockodile]

Great to see you're doing ok and having a cracking time in Australia. Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing! 👍

Been waiting for a new vid from you for ages mate, watched all your other vids. so glad you got to make this with your brother mate.Given me ideas to make one with an electric motor.

[@jwatkins5155]

I was going to say how wierd it is to see you in the modern world amongst airplanes and buses, but then I read your video description about your microphone that you found in a skip, back on form, oh and you still got to plod around in a landy 👍👍👍

[@AdrianColes]

Thank goodness for that, I was worried about you.

[@nickstrow]

Terrific to see you back, Max.

[@tomharpur9516]

Great to see you back Max really enjoyed that video.

[@almath9987]

G,day fella though you had got lost but you just went walkabout. 👍

[@38thfoot]

There are a couple of treadle lathes at the Anson engine museum near Poynton in Cheshire; one a pole large and the other with bow on a head frame.

[@brogle8593]

My dad made a huge one of these 20 years ago, using an old Singer treadle machine table, so he could turn some legs for a dining table he wanted to make. I don't have access to the photos unfortunately. He used to go out and stamp away at it like fury whenever one of us annoyed him. I swear that table would have sat 72 had he ever finished it.

[@krimorouabha7628]

Thank you sir for your wonderful effort🇩🇿🇩🇿

[@youghal40clashmore]

Spotted the swag sleeping bag to the left of the punch bag in the work shop. Happy memories of sleeping in the bush with just a swag and the stars to look at

[@indiomechudo1]

Very nice!!!, greetings from El Salvador

[@cxrslipstream524]

Good to see you back bud! Keep em coming!

[@davidbutler4363]

Well done both of you,brilliant job😁👍👏👏👏

[@theponkster]

Fantastic film - good to see you back

[@superiorbeing95]

Maximus Woodcutter, looks like you had a great adventure.

[@hopeter7648]

I moved from uk to Hong Kong 7 years ago , only about 30% is build up ,the rest is mountains country parks and the most amazingly hiking trails , when you are in the mountains it's hard to believe that you are in one of the most densely populated place on earth..!..!

[@tadpoles10]

Peas in a pod, looking good Max. Pleased to see you on your feet again Max. Thoroughly enjoyed the project with just a 'little' blacksmithing involved. atvb t ..

[@mikegunnellsministriesinc5384]

Really nice way of making the lathe

[@aidanscapeing]

Good to see you back, it has been too long.

[@johnmheaton]

Thanks for the video Max. Best wishes to your brother and his wife to be.

[@srp01983]

Just made a similar trip to see my own brother, though he is near Perth WA, and I think you might have been near Nairne, SA. A great place, should have emigrated years ago.

[@chaoticmuscles]

Awesome video max! It would be even more awesome if we could meet you while youre here in aus!!

[@dodgybodger3124]

👍 Great t see brothers getting along. Well done lads ✌

[@nigelwylie01]

Great vid Maximus Australis.

[@v8bmwboy]

Have you seen Mike Abbots chair making? I went on his chair making course a few years ago and came home with a very nice ash chair! He’s a lovely guy 👍🏻

[@phillollard6965]

Interesting , good little project 👍

[@tomtom21194]

You and your brother give the same thumbs up

[@sarkybugger5009]

[@mattryan2536]

I like that plainer /jointer.

[@ungratefulpeasant8085]

This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

[@JSAnstock]

There you go Max. Your Grandad was right about the "flushing toilet". 😉

[@spungletrumpet]

Awesome video!! Need to try to build a pole lathe now!

[@maximusironthumper]

Thanks! Nothing stopping you now ;-)

[@spungletrumpet]

@@maximusironthumper - I'm quite flattered that you went for the same design as me! ;)

[@katefortune1523]

Nothing nicer than a good natured drunk

[@pshearduk]

awesome as always

[@shawng5799]

That was a real treat thanks!

[@Bodragon]

(6:35) - Yeah, that's right. We're watching you ! >

[@kleinjahr]

Ayup, the old bodger's lathe. Goes back to the Romans, possibly Egyptians. Put a head frame over the bed and you can use an old bow or bungee cord for the spring. I saw a treadle lathe long ago. Guy used a bicycle for the drive. Back wheel was the fly wheel and pedal was hooked to a treadle. Kept the gearing so he could run it at different speeds.

[@doczoff5655]

So I was thinking 'There's something so very familiar about this video where Max flies around the globe to do a project... but WHY is this so familiar? And then I realised, this is 'Max does Blue Peter assignment'! My suspicions were confirmed when a prefab tool rest appeared ("Here's on I made earlier") and I knew for certain when Max hit his thumb with a hammer and he didn't say F###!! (or was that just the gash mic not picking it up?) Brilliant video Max, as a reward I think you should forge yourself an Ironthumper version of a Blue Peter badge :)

[@6969smurfy]

straight into my post apocalypse file this goes!

[@ninjatraceur]

I wonder if you incorporate a mechanism that takes it away from the blade on the back stroke like a spring mechanism of sorts, just a thought. great video

[@Telrynn]

Ahh man you bro has that Straya dollar! In my 2 year working holiday there i found that they practically throw money at you for honest blue collar work

[@Simone-rx4ri]

I’m so excited that you are in Australia 🇦🇺. What state are you in? Welcome! Hope you stay a while. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Tomas-ml9nv]

Wow love this!

[@justincase2384]

YES MAX

[@irnbruo3]

Great things pole lathes even better .......free 👍👍

[@bren106]

I'm sure you can easily find an old style treadle sowing machine and 'Thumperise' that design.
