Making a Springless Air powered Graver

[@themadcow8191]

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.

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.

[@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!

[@TheEdudo]

it needs a spring behind the valve

[@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!

[@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!

[@-Deena.]

Without doubt Uri's most eccentric upload to date.

[@joshvishnu101]

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

[@j.dietrich]

Useful notes: a) Steve Lindsay gets _very_ grumpy about other people building dual-action pneumatic engraving handpieces. b) Steve Lindsay's early patents (US6095256A, US6508315B1, US6488102B2, US6530435B1) have expired. c) It is absolutely legal to make use of technology described in expired patents - it's the entire point of the patent system. 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.

[@tanimator87]

thank you for this little tidbit super useful. Steve Lindsay seems to think he owns the hand engraving field and to participate you have to go through him and that just irks the shit out of me.

[@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.

[@jordanhorst6]

I love how Uri is like if you sent a magic laptop into the past to a Renaissance craftsman and he could only watch Monty Python.

[@davidegaleotti94]

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

[@DanBowkley]

I used to have a tiny little die grinder, same 1/8 inch bits as a Dremel tool but the handpiece was maybe 20mm diameter. The exhaust was really loud, but it was reduced tremendously by a simple corrugated plastic tube that directed it away from the user. I think it was there more to keep the oil in the exhaust from ending up all over your work but it definitely helped with the sound too. Might be an easy way to make your tiny jackhammer nicer to use.
