Thanks Jim. Once you get started it just kind of flows.

[@SneakyFishy]

"They used to be in the control cabinet - then I cut it down and added more electronics, so now they go on the wall". Gold! I was also slightly surprised to learn that "drilling" the spot welds out involved the angle grinder... but on the other hand, I guess there is few jobs that the grinder can't do.

[@RotarySMP]

Once I considered that one side of those spot welds was sacrifical, and the other needed keeping, grinding meant I would not have to close holes, so I changed my mind. :)

[@JeremyMakesThings]

A lot of people are commenting on how great the stop motion was, and it was great, but what I really like about this video is that you use a guard on your angle grinder. Also: for spot welds, they make special drill bits- think something ground like an endmill, but with a pilot point in the middle to keep it centered. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to grind one and would probably only take twice the time it did to grind out the welds.

[@RotarySMP]

Thanks Jeremy. I did consider drilling it out, but then I would have had to weld up the hole in the bit I kept. This seemed easier...until I did it.

[@ferrumignis]

Decent amount of progress, and some excellent stop motion! I bet that took bloody ages to do.

[@RotarySMP]

Thanks for the support. I find it quite difficult to think of enough aviation things as it is, and trying to make a channel out of it would be more pressure than fun. I think I'll stick to adding bits and peices to this channel.

[@steveggca]

Hi Mark with the regulators, etc hanging from the wall ,will you be installing connectors on the wires and air lines? In the last video, in the discussions about collet closer logic, i forgot to mention that its traditional to have a pair of proximity switches to confirm chuck open and chuck closed. these are mounted on adjustable plates for fine tuning. If you ever did what to bar feed, these become manditory. (they really are mandatory regardless) Image search" kitagawa cylinder with sensors " for examples.

[@RotarySMP]

I am planning a connector for the electrics, and push in disconnects on the back of the lathe. There is no simple way to add sensors to the collet closer, but I am not planning a bar puller.

[@x_ph1l]

Nice to see the progress so far. I don't own a lathe (yet), but when I need spacers for some non-heavy-duty jobs I go for 3D printer, which is amazing for making stuff like brackets and spacers. To make spacers, it takes about 5-7 minutes tops (firing up FreeCAD, simple sketch, extrude, export result, fire up Cura, import saved spacers, adjust number of copies, send to printer). The print itself takes way more, but you're input is not needed during a print.

[@RotarySMP]

I have a printer, but tend to migrate to a lathe for a part like that.

Interesting sheet metal work - very deep spot welds and no drill used to remove them (feeling nasty?). Nice to see the inner side of thrust reversers for the first time :-) Great stop motion animation - I bet it took more time than the rest of the vídeo :-) PS: Did you leak test the pneumatic connections?

[@RotarySMP]

I first planned to drill them out, but then figured if I ground out the waste side, I wont have to weld up the holes. Worked out okay. That stop motion probably took about 90 minute. It is kind of relaxing once you get into it. :) No I havent leak tested it, as I ran out of time. Need to hook up 24V to the solenoid valve to test it.

[@helmutzollner5496]

Great Progress! Although, I don't get why you would want the co,pressed air prep on the wall instead of the back of the machine. I like to have the conditioned signals and supplies within the system, but guess you could argue for ease of maintenance. I think the only person who will be messing with the compressed air supply is yourself and the machine is not likely to move, so there will be no idiot connecting the wrong supplies to the machine ports.

[@RotarySMP]

I looked at putting it onto the back of the machine, but there was not a perfect location for it. I also figured this way I can see the oil level, and will be more likely to refill it.

Yikes mate, those walls suffered water damage in their history... I have been working on a few houses and basements especially - that needed fixing after being flooded, the european construction, not mdf, drywall nonsense... And i dealt with exactly that structure and texture of the cement and bubbling paint and plaster... A pipe bursts in house, or a mains cracks and flood the street, making a mess of basements, and it looked exactly like this, and it took a lot of work to get the walls to not look like what yours look, water damaged concrete(as much as that makes little sense, but it does, as once cured, soaking in rusty water doesnt help wall integrity)... I would call a friend, if you have one, who is a licensed engineer and deals with structural integrity of buildings and such, a statics engineer i guess would be english for it, and have them look around the place and give you their view and examination of the structural integrity, as if you call one on a official visit from a non friend, you might get into shit, depending on the country... Check them walls out, bad walls are just waiting to crumble, and a strong earthquake might just dicker them... Make sure that damage isnt too deep... And that those walls arent just waiting to crumble into rabble and obliterate you and your machines... Machine work especially can be bad in such a scenario, as machines generate quite the vibration that does not benefit even a healthy wall, let alone a bad wall... Im not saying this as a diss, its just loving advice from a fellow machinist who in his time fixed up a few places to be sold quickly and not look like this, for there is no curing a bad wall, you can only mask it for decades if it is good enough not to start crumbling and breaking out from the mask... Or, you can knock it down, supporting the rooms above it with steel pillars and rebuild the whole wall, but you have a lot more than one wall in this and similar state, from what i can see from your videos... I never said anything about it, but now that i see it up close... Call a friend, better safe than sorry... Or make a quick friend by bribing a guy who does it to come off the record and advise you...

[@RotarySMP]

When we got it, my wifes cousin (A bridge design engineer) did that inspection. The basement walls are cinderblock, filled with reinforced concrete, and then covered in a chalk based plaster. That plaster is crumbly, but the walls are strong and solid. The house walls above are Durosol, which was a pretty dumb method, but also strong as the concrete used. The basement foundation was not sealed outside, but breathes quite well, so I dont have an excessive moisture issue. The basement is only 1/2 buried, so rising damp is not an issue. I talked about sealing the floor with epoxy, but he recommended letting it breathe so it doesn't drive the damp anywhere else. It looks like crap, as the basment was built by the then owner, and I think he bought beer instead of a level and plumb bob.

[@camillosteuss]

@@RotarySMP Damn, that plaster looks like fucked up concrete that was soaking for a month at least... And it doth crumble as heck... Glad to hear you have a + on it from a bloke with a bit of specialization in the integrity sphere... It would be quite a misfortune if it were not so and you had a major collapse during work or otherwise... If it looks like crap but is good beneath, then i understand why you didnt bother flattening it, as that is a messy job that takes days to finish, just due to visibility issues that build up in first 5 minutes of starting the sanding implementation... All the best and warmest regards, Steuss

[@RotarySMP]

@@camillosteuss Cement should get stronger with water, but I guess it is the salts in water which break it down. Yeah, it is annoying that the plaster is falling off just behind my welding bench.

[@camillosteuss]

@@RotarySMP Yeah, by logic of how cement works sure, i thought so too, but it turns out that ``roman cement`` which is just an olden mixture that had salts in it from volcanic ash actually does get better with exposure to water, as when the salts are in the structure, they react, and to a point make it ``vitrified``, i dont remember the particular chemistry involved but i remember it being about salts and aluminum contents and so on, but your modern concrete has essentially 0 of those certain salts within it, and when it reacts with water or salty water, it wants to crumble away, whereas ``roman`` drinks up, allowing the salts within to react with the crystalline structure and bond the whole thing even better... Tho, that would likely not greatly benefit our modern rebar reinforcement armatures, lest they be heavily coated in protective jacketing....
