I love that you showed your mistakes. It happens to everyone, and seeing other people make mistakes helps some people to not get discouraged
Probably what I enjoy most about our craft is the adventures of problem solving with minimal, undersized tools, and "unsuitable" materials. I just SO enjoy watching Brooke's work for this reason. She shows' it all: mistakes, setbacks, and successes. Plus she is a really gifted teacher and presenter.
"I Wanted To Make it" That statement is what makes you awesome!
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Fun tip: overheated motors cool down quicker and safer by letting them to run for a while without load. Stopping them may actually be detrimental, because of the residual heat on the coils.
Blondie, You do a fantastic job with your "thinking out loud" while you work which makes you an excellent instructor. Thank you for producing these videos! I always learn a lot from your videos.
I like the fact that you show issues in real world problems that happen during machine work ..some ppls vids edit out these problems and make text book vids which trick us into thinking its just so easy ... Thank You ...............
The more videos I watch, the more I like you and your channel! I'm not a machinist. I worked in a machine shops inspection and a little bit on a Monarch VMC. I'd really like to get a mill, lathe and few other machines. I'm learning so much from you and the entertainment is great! Thank you for your hard work on the videos!
Thank you. I'm an old guy, but I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos.
As usual, I learned a lot. Your patience is impressive and your ingenuity is even more impressive. Thanks, Quinn.
Somehow through the magic of the UA-cam algorithm I arrived here. I’m tremendously impressed with the quality of both your narration and your work.
The best machining videos out there. I love how you stretch the capabilities of your tools and explain how you decided on a particular solution to a problem. I'm new to metal working. I finally got my PM 1440GT after an 8 month wait. I've watched your lathe skills videos like three times now and they are the best, most practical that exist. I have to start cranking some stuff out before the wife wonders why this behemoth is taking up so much garage space, lol!
So i only found your channel recently and watched only a few posts of yours, but so far, you are now one of my favourites. I love your humour, presentation and details. Keep up the awesome work. I am so glad I found you.🙂🙂
I completely agree about the 4x6 bandsaw
This time next year I can envisage an ABOM size lath in your workshop, no matter what machine you buy it's always just not quite big enough. Regards from the UK and thanks for sharing
Its very valuable to me that you show your mistakes in the process of making your projects.
Blondihacks video beats whatever thing I was working on before it popped up!
Time for a bigger shop and bigger mill & lathe. You've officially outgrown your small machine shop. It was inevitable. Great content and voice over information is outstanding.
Impressive! Way to push the boundaries of the hobby-level tools.
As a novice I find the mistakes and errors you show to be so valuable and more educational than those vids that show perfection from start to finish. Thanks.
Your explanations are really good, clearly understandable and a pleasure to listen even for a non English-speaking native.
I have been planning on doing the same project and since I have the same PM lathe and mill you have done a lot of the headache stuff for me. The only thing I will change is that I will go cheesy on material and use aluminum. It is cheap and readily available due to all the aircraft production work in the area I live. It also cuts so easy. It won't be as classy as iron but I think it will do the job. Thanks for all the hard work and head scratching!
I learned how to use lathe, cut, how to choose bits, and many other things by watching your Channel. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
I agree with you on the premise that, if you want to learn, the best way is to make as many of your own tools as possible. A dual benefit being learning and cost control. Kind regards, I subscribed and tagged the bell.
"Always double check those clamps".... Good lesson!!!
I forget the vertical slide clamps on the mill sometimes and that causes problems in more than one axis.
DC motors typically have slight timing so when running backwards the current is coming late to the winding.
Thanks for the review on the bandsaw too. I was thinking of getting one for Christmas, I will now.
Nice work on the adapter plate. I have a grizzly 6" rotary table that is almost identical. I bought a 6" 4 jaw that has through holes for mounting and just bolted it directly to the rotary table. It was really simple works really well.
Ah, I know why reverse motor power is lower Quinn. The commutator brushes are not at exactly 180° apart. Apparently that is to avoid excessive sparking at high forward speeds. Trouble is it makes sparking much worse at high speed in reverse so the controller has a speed limit when in reverse - on my lathe it is set to 50% and it effectively limits the maximum power available. It's not the motor as such, it's the controller protecting it. Cheers. BobUK. (edit for clarification)
The brushes on DC motors are also usually "timed" ahead of 0º, which means in reverse, it's timed negative of 0º.
What a demanding project for the existing machines. The challenges were high but your competence was able to finish the project successfully! This video among the many from you impressed me! You will get a new patreon this week👍
Lovely project Quinn its good how you demonstrate pushing your tools to infinity and beyond. Think we've all had the oops forgot to tighten the nuts
Hi....i have the same Item. After 2 Years i buy this System completed. Your Adapter is great! Congratulions
How can a video have only 3 views but have 14 likes??? No matter, another neat experience from Blondihacks!! Thanks!
YT paradox
I've seen many videos and love to see more from you. So nice and you'r very informative and talented i guess. You are my fan and what a woman can't do? Keep going God bless you too 🙏🙏🙏
Ah, a 'bleep' moment! I have those. More than I think you do Quinn! Best wishes. BobUK.
Double check three times! Love it.
I adore you and your work. You are honest and genuine about sharing the good, bad, and ugly of the process. The retightening redux, redux.... comedy has moved my funding you via Patreon to the top of the list. I have to figure something out, you provide tremendous value and I need to pony up.
Update- Your new rockstar is glad to do his part.
Seeing how you recover from mistakes is the best part
That Chinese bandsaw is a hero in my shop! I have run it nonstop for 12 hours cutting 1/² inch steel.
Patients and perseverance wins in the end. I had to chuckle when you keep going back and retighten the hold down bolts. Reminded me of a co-worker that left a drain plug loose. Every once in a while I would see him going out to the parking lot with his drain plug wrench.
Glad I found your channel. I love it when you make mistakes and show or describe alternative ways to continue on with the project.
Here I was just about to go downstairs and make some content for my new machining channel (for which you have certainly been an inspiration) but I found this just in time 😀
What a beautiful result, and seeing how you recover from problems is really instructive.
When I wanted to make a face plate for my Chinese No. 17 Lathe factory tool room lathe I realised that I could utilise a 20 Kg barbel weight purchased from a Cash Converters shop for $20 NZ. It had enough meat in it to make a reasonably thick 300 mm diameter face plate although I did find a couple of voids whilst machining it which I subsequently welded up and ground down when I surface ground it later. Thank you for showing your problems, I often wonder if anyone else forgets to tighten up things like I do. Thank you also for revealing the designation of my spindle - I had not been able to identify it until I saw this video.
Strong Work, Quinn. You’re a warrior on improvised precision. 😁👍🏻
I like how you show your mistakes and explain what happened. That is very educational for me. Thanks!
Also i love the way you show your mistakes. I get told off on the model engineering forum often for showing my mistakes , or as I call them .Bloopers.
Well done, Quinn.
I really like you approach to cutting the over-sized stock in the band saw and hacksawing it to finish the cut.
Thanks for that one.
good girl very clever and your honest and admitted your mistakes keep up the good work
We both have the same MILL and mine has been giving me problems like a burnt out motor and then a Gear breakage!!! A belt drive is in the planning giving faster and slower. This hopefully giving more torque. I converted our EMCO to this spindle nose and at the same time putting the plate further out. This now means that my fingers can get behind and do up or undo the nuts. Enjoying as usual. David and Lily Reading England.
You teach by example, yet at the end of the day, you teach. Thank you, I learn much from watching you.
Good tip about using angle plate in Horizontal bandsaw. Always hard to hold things in them other than cutting off lengths from long stock.
Super fun to watch, Quinn~ (check those clamps again). :)
I had a chuck with the oiler protruding like that, I just tapped it in further using a bit of brass tube
Or...appropriate sized socket...
Quinn I'm glad you took this....for a spin :D I remember the days of pushing the outer limits of small machines. Now i'm pushing the limits of a lot bigger ones that are twice as old as I am ..or more. it's amazing what you can do with a little machine and big ingenuity. the moment you unwrapped the dura bar I knew you would...iron it out :D
That was brilliant ! very well done ! your skill and tenacity pulled you through . just great congrats ! Skip from Texas
Thanks for that video. Great to see someone managing too large work for their machines - I learned a lot more from this than I would have if it was made on a big mill/lathe
Yay! I was getting worried I was running out of your videos after binge watching them all 😂
Probably due to the consistency of the issues in a small workshop, but again you have chosen to demonstrate another project on my to do list. The only difference on my ''process flow" would be to fit the plate to spindle nose prior to final machining of the face to maximise alignment to key features (probably not required but it makes me feel better). Also I must say that your comment on the "limitation of small machines" always makes me smile as you machines are significantly larger to the Unimat based ones that I use.
My Harbor Freight bandsaw is a surprisingly good work horse. I don't use it all that much but I'm glad it's there when needed and it hasn't let me down. I guess it works and they have been in production for decades. All I would do to improve it is add a hydraulic feed control and coolant, but I'm mostly work with tubing so those upgrades aren't necessary.
Meticulous, no stupid music, good narrarive and fun to watch and learn - thank you :)
I'm jealous of your power cross feed when I have to do stuff like that
Have you thought of trying to tap the oiler down???
Congrats on the final accuracy outcome. Talk about taking things to the limit.
That's good work making the tools stretch their limits. That has to be satisfying when you realize it came out right. Love your videos keep 'em coming, they're a bright spot in my weekend alot of times.
Master class in making do with what you have.. Bravo...
Wow, we had a cameo appearance of the real Quinn a 16:09 without the DuRag and those blackrim safety glasses. You should let us see the "real you" more often. Even MrPete shows up "on camera" now.... Another good video BTW...!
I agree completely about the 4 X 6 bandsaws. A little tweaking and they can do very good work. I have a friend who has one that's 30+ years old and it's virtually identical to my 2 year old one (with fewer plastic parts). No design stays that unchanged for that long unless it works well.
My wife called me in the eighties, to say there was a pickup truck loaded with such tools at the plumbing shop she did books at, and I bought one of those saws for less than two hundred bucks, still using it, rebuilt it a couple times, more accurate than when I bought it, better ball bearings now.
Angle plate. Bandsaw. Awesome.
Yeah, the 4x6 bandsaw is one of my greatest purchases of all time.
Handy to have. Had tou thought about having a shoulder on the adaptor plat to centre on the rotary table and would drilling the holes starting at 45° to the centre using your DRO rather than the way you did it have saved repositioning the work? I have to make a similar one for my 16" Jones and Shipman table. Its a beast to move but I got it cheap 😁👍
16:49 - The unsung hero is the vice jaw jack thing. I want one.
You almost burned the lathe! You're a monster! LOL, i love your videos!
07:35 The ticking might possibly be one of the commutator lands now standing a liiiitle bit proud of where it should be and rubbing on the brushes as it passes. Swap in the new motor and do a light pass on the commutator, satisfyingly using the new motor to fix the old, which should stop it prematurely chewing through brushes.
Would this also apply to a Brushless DC motor, which is the motor type that Quinn's lathe is equipped with?
Very nice work. You are truly a very talented person. I enjoy your videos very much, so keep doing what you do.
It was fun watching someone else suffer with small shop problems. I just did the same thing, complete with all the problems you had, except I am so stupid that I got all the way to the end of the job before I realized the size of the chuck made it impossible to bolt the backing plate to the rotary table. I can bolt the plate to the table, no problem. I can bolt the plate to the chuck, no problem. When I went to put it all together, it finally dawned on me that I can't. It sure would have been nice to notice that detail sooner.
So yeah. I'm stupid. I tried to write a chuck that I just couldn't cash.
I play a miniatures game called Warhammer 40k, and one of the factions it is called 'Imperial Fists'. When ever I hear Quin say 'Standard Imperial Fist Shake' it crosses my wires for a moment and I imagine one of those guys shaking their fist at the work instead.
The standard Imperial Fist fist shake is the same as the no. 3 Astartes fist shake, as outlined in the codex.
Really like this "big" project!
Thanks for all your advice. I am a newby but your channel helped me a lot
26:10 I think we are going to have to have you involuntarily committed to the This Old Tony Home for Wayward Punsters.
Having small machines can cause a lot of extra work, but it can be fun and challenging. Don't forget to tighten the clamps. It's like juggling, eventually you are going to drop the balls. Be on the lookout for more space and bigger machines. I realize it is more money but it's also more peace of mind. Actually I really loved this video. Your creativity alone is a 10+ especially after lunch. Danny
Geez I’m really happy my rotary table came with a “factory “ D1-4 adapter plate!
Birthday gifts to self are always the perfect gifts! 😁
My lathe is a 1935 vintage SB 9" and I routinely push it to or beyond it's limits, just not too far beyond.
Now my Saturday is complete! I’ve been going through your older teaching series’ and have really enjoyed them. Very informative and I love your humor. Awesome stuff!
I thought you were about to say " So I put a bigger fuse in" 🤣
Could wrap it with foil...I generally try to incorporate that step prior to smoking my motors. Saves on the cost of the bigger fuse.
Never be tempted to do that.
@@BrianFullerton back in the day, we had one of these glass tube fuses blow in a car. My grandpa found a twist tie in the trunk and used that to replace the fuse to try and get us back to civilization. About 5 miles later, the paper on the twist tie lit up like a candle under the dash.
So happy you shared this! I’ve been avoiding this project for a while, but I really need one for my Rotary table!
Nice project to start when I finished the lathe!
Hi Queen, your are really Amazing, i love your teaching skills and explanations
Cool project. I'm fascinated by your troubleshooting and problem solving process. I'm learning a new way to think. :)
Great in!novation on your band saw, it is amazing what a cup of coffee and a sandwich (or a donut) can do. I find that you love to challenge yourself, and it works to bring out the best for you. Great work again Quinn, cheers!
Bu the by, I enjoyed the cantwist clamp build and got a kit last week, thanks.
We don’t make mistakes but we often think of a better way to accomplish the task. Thanks for the video I enjoy them very much.
A good idea is to always "stake" or deform the last couple threads in the bottom of the T nut so that the stud can't bottom out and push everything up. Nice work on this project!
I did
@@Blondihacks Sorry, you mentioned the off set T nuts, my bad, excellent job all the way! 👍👍👍
Blondi, yes. I have a HF bandsaw that came with cabinet base. It once fell over due to my neglegence and the plastic motor end cap, plastic fan, plastic electrical union box all shattered into pieces! HF does not sell those items separetly, but Jet does! And in metal! Except the fan blades. I ordered them all from Jet and they were perfect replacement parts and of superior material. Like you said, depending on which color ( bandsaw) you have ( brand). It does an amazing job for the price, and I bought mine with the classic January discount coupon.
Love your vids and commentary.

Wow that wore me out. Congrats on your problem solving skills you really put them to the test on that project. Thank you for the video.
Well done. I had done something similar about 10 years ago for a dividing head. It worked well and it was beyond the limits of my machines at the time so I had to make some strange jig attachments to get things working! But it was a success in the end! Total runout over 18 inches was only .0025!
Love your channel and that pink, rose colored tool box, very very cool Quinn 👍👍👍👍
I use a small desktop room air circulating fan, probably about 9inch diameter, at the side of my lathe aimed at the motor, this always keeps it cool it will run for loads of hours without heating much. I also have a battery digital thermometer sitting on tiny shelf slightly above lathe, the sensor for it is stuck to motor body with a paste adhesive. It gives me a good idea of temperature from cold start to normal running temp, I allow about 30degree raise above starting temp, lathe used to get hot before I done this setup. As a proof that it works, use the lathe with fan turned off, when it starts getting hot turn fan on and see temp dropping quiet a lot with lathe still running, but that's only an experiment to prove it works, i always use fan once I turn lathe on, and I leave it running 5min after I turn lathe off.
Loosen the T nuts and dial in the part you are working on to the rotation of your rotary table just like you dialed in the chuck. No need to dial in the rotary table first. You can do it on the bench.
Then dial in the part centered on the spindle.
This will completely eliminate the chuck run out. Each time you put a new part on the table you check run out to the table rotation and dial in. Then center on the spindle. Dead perfect each time.
Drilling big holes in material is always a pain when you have modest machinery, so I use Rotabroach Cutters and an Arbor with an MT2 shank, it works really well and I now have a huge collection of Nearly New and brand new cutters, and you also get a slug from the middle of your work so you don't waste every bit of material. I know it only works with short depth holes - 2", but drilling from both sides to get you 4" in is OK once you have a good OD to work from, and then it's over to a boring bar to finish.
Give it a try, you won't regret it ......... great Vids BTW, and greetings from across the Pond.
Have to agree those Tiawan band saws are a good buy
Hi Quinn, thanks for another informative video.
in cutting a short slug of steel on the band saw, what works for me is to tack weld a block of scrap steel on the rough side of the slug and then hold the slug in place using the block in the jaws of the band saw.
