Making Meccano

Johnny Meccano making parts on Jack Parsisson's machines.

[@ProfRonconi]

Excuse me if I get somewhat emotional... I got my Meccano in 1965, and to see this 21st century young boy so earnestly working to reproduce my childhood marvels... I'm at a loss for words.

[@kae4466]

thank you for letting the young man work the machines .:)

I have been trying to reproduce some of the Aeroplane constructor models and seeing these press's makes me weep knowing all the filing I have done to make one simple cut. Wonderful to see this stuff being kept and used

[@chrisspere4836]

I wept to in envy.

[@MrMilleno]

Love the bonding and tools and parts , great work my friend ❤️👍

Very nice to see you and the boy working together. My sons are only just old enough to start using the few bits I will have and I was disappointed to find the metal stuff that I used maybe 40 years ago is no longer made. I have subscribed to your channel.

Hi Johnny, Wish I had some of these machines. I do however have a Whitney Hand Punch (Imperial), which easily punches 5/32 holes in sheet metal. You can fasten a Meccano Strip or Plate once you get one or two holes in place. It's better if you space the Meccano part away from your metal, use a nut & bolts (or half nut), this makes it easier to align. Other punches are available, there is also a bench mounted one! Very interesting video, can we have more of these! Bob Duck

Отлично 👌🎉

Hi Johnny, wish I had your machines, very impressive!! Keep up the good work! What's happened to the nzmeccano web site, it's all changed (again), Bob duck, nzmeccano. I've just made a batch of different Strip & plate benders!

[@benmor8334]

What kind of metal do you use, what is its thickness, I would like to try it. excellent job

[@napierpaxman]

I'll have 40,000 of those girders please... :D

[@graemevanelden8615]

Nice

[@stratocaster1greg]

Sir are you making any Meccano Constructor Cars? Great video!

[@GérardPacthod]

tres interessant mais sans doute cher

[@badreeddine2017]

excellent Children are our life easy perforated strip But how is perforated four flanged plate . made? I would like to make all the parts because they are expensive to buy What do you recommend ? How do I start?

[@AL_THOMAS]

Do you make your own? Meccano these days isn't what it used to be. Is old Meccano safe? Didn't they use lead paint once?

[@blackeagle6809]

Can you make gears for the meccano system?

[@chrisspere4836]

You forgot to say what type of steel is needed. Ie: thickness or hardness.

[@abbush2921]

Grandson?

[@newspaniard]

Was this a visit to the new SpinMaster factory? Do they employ child labour?

[@johnnymeccano1183]

+newspaniard Not Spin Master John. Jack and Johnny bent the angle girders correctly unlike Spin Master. Lol! 😁
