Making a Springless Air powered Graver

[@proteinman7800]

Skipping Uri Tuchman Shenanigans in a Uri Tuchman video is unheard of and unthinkable

[@duanedodson1]

Not to worry, I skipped shenanigans, and still seen plenty of shenanigans.

[@urituchmanpigeon]

Hey everyone, this video is a re-uploaded version. The previous version had some audio issues that I hope are resolved in this one 😅. I Apologize for all the lovely comments on the earlier version, feel free to rewrite them 😊.

If you'd told me a year ago that artisan machining videos with acapella soundtracks and pixel-art diagrams was something I needed in my life... I probably would've agreed, actually. You are a gift to us all

[@planbuildrepeat8264]

Have you met this old tony yet? If not, boy howdy you're in for a treat!

[@lloydrmc]

Hear, hear! There's something soothing and "everything is right with the world" affirming about watching such competence. Add to that his self-effacing quirkiness, and 19th century aesthetic, and he is a deeply endearing creator, and a real joy to watch. I am ever so grateful that the KZbin algorithm found this man for me.

[@HandToolRescue]

Nice to see the only use-case for the wrench.

[@curm1778]

When are you going to rescue your work bench?

[@blatantmisconception]

Is there a build video for the brass wrench? I've seen the metal build, but brass chips from a mill are very satisfying to watch.

[@valentinozangobbo]

I knew it!

[@ThatIsAFallacy]

@@curm1778 LOL.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yeah, nobody really needs wrenches for anything. They're basically useless, but Big Wrench has everyone convinced that a wrenchless society is impossible. And so the earth continues to be strip mined by corporations searching for wrench deposits that they can track open and pump out the sweet, expensive delicious wrench fluids, which are subsequently processed in refineries which spew toxic gases into the atmosphere, just so people can put that wrench into their gas tank (petrol cubby for you Europeans) and drive a much needed truck filled with plastic army action figures to a toy store. I swear, a society without wrenches would value transportation much more, and nobody would be buying or selling Nickelodeon Gak for $4.99 just so a Chinese factory worker can earn 6 cents an hour while inhaling toxic Gak fumes.

Sometimes, you're just messing around on YT mindlessly watching random videos. Then, other times, you discover a channel that resonates with you in such a way that 6 hours have passed without you realizing it. This... is one of those channels.

Uri : Go to 2:44 to skip all the shenanigans. Me : Please. I am here to watch your shenanigans!

[@monsterman576]

speaking from experience owning a steve lindsay classic foot control, his is extremely refined and very smooth, not nearly as loud and can go from hogging out deep 1/8 inch chips of metal to tiny less than hair thin lines. Its a flawless tool if there ever was one. Nice job making your own! try making the piston from hardened steel, make a steel handle instead of wood (softens the stroke because of extra mass) and add a regulator to adjust the psi which will affect the cut depth along with the stroke length of the tools collar. If you ever get the chance to try a lindsay hand piece it will blow your mind!

[@Jasoncole7621]

I love how not only does Uri make his own tools, but he makes his own sound affects and music too. I love it.

[@GeoffreyCroker]

Hi Uri. I also made an air graver a few years ago. In case you’re interested… First, I made the back and forth version powered by a modified little air tyre compressor. This was a waste of time. Next, I made a basic version of the Lindsay engraver. The same piston arrangement but without the pressure on/off handle. It functioned… kind of. I guess you saw videos of Lindsay engravers shredding steel like a plough through dirt. Yeah we’ll mine was lame. It vibrated and did the thing it was supposed to do, but I’m not sure that it did it much better than if I was just pushing by hand. I tried heavier pistons, enlarging holes, more/less air but it never worked well. I think the valves have to be just right, so that the piston smacks the end of the graver at maximum velocity, before the upwards air has any effect. I found it hard to get that to work without stalling the piston. Anyway, I couldn’t easily get it to work well, so I gave up.

[@taitano12]

Could be how you sharpened the bits? Like, too steep or shallow a point, not sharp enough, or even the wrong steele? These all effect the performance of any cutting tool.

[@lavonmarshal3127]

Well now you have to engrave something for the Rover.

[@nefariousyawn]

Did your air chisel also sound like a prolonged fart?

[@urituchmanpigeon]

Hey, yes, I didnt show it in the video, to not bore the viewers, but I've tried a few other piston designs but the first one seemed to be the best from all of them. I agree, it seems to be very sensitive to every little change, and the design needs to be just perfect to function properly. It's funny, I've just been watched a whole bunch of your videos as I just purchased a new old Myford lathe that I wish to restore. I really enjoy your channel!

[@Jose-x3d4d]

it needs a spring behind the valve

[@lizday8140]

I completely understand your conclusion. You want to create art, not noise pollution. I feel the same way. That's like going to a remote campsite to relax and hear nature sounds and people nearby are running generators for their glamping. Your vocalizations are just amazing!

[@blazunlimited]

I never for a moment considered skipping the shenanigans. They’re the most entertaining part.

[@pel6413]

Skip the shenanigans?! The shenanigans are 63% of why I'm here!

[@chuckburroughs6427]

Oh, and your collets need 2 o-ring grooves. That will make them more stable in the barrel of the tool, and will keep them from wobbling around, which they will do if your pieces aren't heat treated. The pieces will wear quick, and start wobbling. If you want to keep it from shooting the collets out, you need thicker orings for a tight fit in the barrel.

[@ulfpettersen5732]

Thanks, Uri. Toda.

The shenanigans are like 70% of the reason I'm here but I appreciate the note at the beginning

[@FluxyMiniscus]

The lathe has always held a magical fascination for me, even as a little kid. I do get occasional chance to work on the lathe at my job as a bench jeweler (I work for a custom ring design company in Tucson). I’m contemplating buying a lathe for my home studio, just have to find the space (or add another room to my shop, which I desperately need). I really appreciate your process videos! Nothing better than watching someone working at their craft, with joy and humor IMHO. I’m also one to chat along with my work, adding dialogue and sound effects. It’s wonderful to discover other artists with similar humors- thanks for sharing your effervescence and craftsmanship- now, I’m headed to my shop! Ciao- MBZ

Edit: The Spaghetti western soundtrack was incredible. You managed to take that wierd vibratory humming thing we all discovered as kids and use it for something beautiful.

[@notamouse5630]

If you want something inaudible, one could go for an ultrasonic piezoelectric version using an 40kHz piezoelectric transducer like one might use to create an ultrasonic cleaner. That said, earplugs and muffs are required and one must pad the handle and not touch the business end. Though nothing should cut smoother, it is hitting the metal 40k times per second. Nice pixel art, reminds me of powder game...

The one thing that I envy those who have the means to have a properly outfitted workshop, is the ability to make their own tools.

I'm glad to see others have suggestions for potential improvement on the noise or smooth operation and reduced vibration, as I am not qualified to offer any myself. All I kept thinking was how you might damage your nerves if this thing vibrates too strongly, or you use it for too long or too frequently. 😱 But I loved the shenanigans and the soundtrack and the art just as much as watching you make the graver, so thank you!

[@UraTrowelie]

I really appreciate your monitor dropping down displaying the part you're working on. Uri is a top notch fella.

[@roteira]

I have pretty much the same setup you put at the beggining of the video. A cheapo chinese hand piece and a modified airbrush compressor. There's two key things in order to make it work. First is to put the spring on the hand side, since this stuff comes reversed for no reason. The spring on the front end will prevent the piston from hitting the anvil inside. The second thing is to shorten the piston and reduce it's mass. I took off one ring of metal from the piston and it cuts silver well enough now. At least for me. I make my own gravers with tool steel and for softer metals like silver, gold, copper... The thingamabob does pretty much OK. I can cut acanthus, do stippling and some stone setting. Cheers from Spain!

[@tanimator87]

Thank you thank you thank you soooo much for this comment. I built one of these also and had already swapped the spring around but was having tons of issues with it stalling. I cut the piston down like you suggested and now it runs like a beast. Seriously you saved me a ton of money and time I really appreciate it.

[@roteira]

@@tanimator87 You're welcome buddy. Have fun. You can cut more of the piston if you want to experiment. Less mass will make it run smoother but also is less energy hitting the anvil. However the piston has more room to gain momentum, so it's a balance.

There are some very useful nuggets of information in these patents if you can get your head around the strange language of Patentese. Also, the background music in this video is epic.
