- When Shea Alexander from Alexander Brothers reached out to me to make a guard for his vintage planer restoration I knew it would be a fun and challenging build. I show the process of making these recreation parts for his old planer. Enjoy.

Hey man, your channel just popped up on my UA-cam and I’m really glad it did!! I really like the way you put your videos together, you got yourself another new subscriber and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next, great channel, and great work!!!
Thank you I really appreciate that
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair Your welcome, there’s lots of machining channels but I really like the way you edit in the music with the HQ filming and close up shots, it makes for a very good and enjoyable video whether your just watching machining for the first time or you’re already a machinist
Lovely to see a part for a great old British planer being made. I was an apprentice church organ builder in London and we had an 15" or might have been 18" 15 HP Wadkin planer/ thicknesser that was a beast of a machine. We only had 30 mins for Lunch and if the planer was turned off at lunchtime, it was still revolving when lunch was over, the cutter block was so big and heavy and it was just one big flywheel !
Dang that’s cool
Yea, I liked the project. Found it interesting and liked your thought process in stepping through the build phases.
Awesome I appreciate it
Great project! When mounting the tube, machining a channel for the base to register into helps keep it in place for welding. Keep up the great content!
Good point
Great work and a superb result, you should be proud of everything you do.
I appreciate it
Might be interesting for you to do a video on how you got into machining etc
Good point I would be down to do that. I have been machining for all of about 3 months lol
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair Seriously? You've only been machining for 3 months???
@@DavidR8 that is correct. I hope I am doing well considering. I bought my lathe back in September of last year it sat for a few months, I got my mill and surface grinder in November. It sat for a few months. I restored my Lathe and had it finished in March and got my mill up and running probably in January. I’ve been doing fabricating for quite some time so it’s unfair to say that I have not been making things but actual machine work has been a new thing.
I have trying to learn as aggressively as possible since I love it so much. How am I doing?
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair you’re doing amazing! I was seriously impressed by the approach to the bracket. The finished product was very good.
Fascinating to watch those machines work. Good job, brother.
Thank you sir
Wow great work. Normally I can’t watch a video of 30 minutes long. But you made it interesting enough for me to watch the whole thing.
Thank you
First channel i found where the backround music doesn't bother me.
Thanks lol. Some people hate the music some people love the music I suppose it just shows how subjective it is
Agreed!
Nice to see old British machines being kept alive the other side of the pond. Your Colchester is awesome and Wadkin made some of the finest woodworking machinery. Will last forever with a bit of TLC. I have just acquired a lovely old Jones and Shipman drill from the 1920s. I hope to do a video on it one day. Also just acquired a CVA toolroom lathe which is a British version the Monarch 10EE.
That’s awesome
Got an Elliott Cardiff Major we are still using in Cleveland. Great solid machine and it gets used all the time. , especially the gap bed. = I have called it our LeBlonde Lite.

Elliott made some awesome machines. I have an Elliott Sturdimill - very aptly named. Also the Elliott 10M shaper. I would love the Cardiff lathe. Cardiff is only about 40 miles from me. A mate of mine has had all the American lathes but he reckons the best of all are the old Hendys.
Truly a work of art. More please.
There will be more coming
I'm a new subscriber, been watching you videos, very nice work! Makes me very relaxed.
Just one thing: You gotta take better care of those hands. Gloves are a pain in the *ss, but even small scratches and cuts can let bacteria in.
Be safe.
Thank you are right trying to get better about wearing them
2:00 This is very unique, I've not seen it done before. Franky I do not know if i would have thought of it myself! It seems very accurate! CNC engraving machines inscribe in this fashion, perhaps a inscribing tool meant for that would work too, and be less flexible ?
Yeah maybe
Thanks for showing a real job, not that your renovation jobs aren’t interesting but I’m a mercenary at heart.😊 I’d love to see a picture of the part(s) installed on the machine they were built for. Thank you again.
Yeah there are more real jobs to come
Здравствуйте. Первый раз на вашем канале. Вижу много интересной работы. Подписался. Удачи!
Please no music!!!!! I only have two ears and one brain....
Your videos will only get better and your audience could only benefit from it 😂❤
Lol thanks for the opinion
Looked good, hope it was pleasing to the customer. The only thing I've done differently when welding a cylinder to a flat bar edge, was to put a vee cut on the flat bar to locate the cylinder easier, but as I've said before there is a plethora of ways to get a job done right. I'm still enjoying your content 👍
Yeah, that’s a good point. Thank you very much.
Nice job! Where are you guys? You listed this as a planer guard…. It looks like a jointer guard. The English call jointers buzz planers or planers for shot.
Chicago. Your correct though
Can you make me a metal lathe?
I'll melt and make all the aluminum, aluminum bronze and copper ingots you want. I ask cuz I don't have a pocket full of cash for a machine. I'll buy the parts of course.
No sorry
clever
Thanks
Excellent work! Great video, editing, quality.... looking forward to more !
Thank you very much jerry
Very nice work ! Pretty cool parts. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed
Excellent
Thanks drew
So nice and true skill I’m enjoying watching more
Thank you
Great Vid! Love the explanation! Subbed.
Thank you
Great project. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Чувак привет!Спасибо за логотипV 🇷🇺
Yeah
Dude... Dope video. I like the machining walk through videos. I like how you cover all of the set ups, work holding, and tooling. It would be cool if you show the finished assy at the end of the video so we can see how it turned out better. I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to more of these because Im just starting to get into machining. Thanks Bud.
Absolutely. Great feedback looking forward to making more content
Bit too much stickout on that handle towards the end, you even see it deflect when you face it! Use a live center, it will keep everything nicer and safer! Cool build, part looks great!
Thank you
Cara , você é demais!
Background music ,very anoying
Very nicely done-just subbed✅👍
Thank you
Good work - :)
If I can give some advice from experience, then "Keep it stupid simple!", that is don't over-engineer your work-flow/stages, as sometimes as engineer's, we often focus too narrowly on each sub-assembly, rather than on the overall outcome ie. "....forest for the trees.".
If the work is semi-precision then finished machining of each component and then fabricating is ok, but for best results(and less frustration from part HAZ distortion) it's better to rough machine and then fab, then finish.
Nice workshop BTW
:)
Thank you for your input
Try parting of also in reverse and putting the tool upside down, works wonders for my little lathe, reduce chatter and if anything goes wrong, the tool does not get wadged in the work piece.
That’s a great idea thx I’ll try it sometime
This is the first video of yours that I have watched.
I’m very impressed with what I have seen.
Your narration is clear and informative, the camera work is good, and the music is pleasant without being intrusive.
It’s nice to watch someone work by hand and eye. No CNC or DRO.
Your attention to detail is wonderful to see.
I’m not sure what the customer asked for,but I’m sure you could have cobbled together something much less pretty that would have been just as functional.
I’m looking forward to watching your other videos, I hope I’ll be as pleased with those as I am with this one.
Let’s be careful out there.
Thank you sir I appreciate the compliments It really means a lot
Wow, awesome project and clever processes to make something unique. Thanks for the inspiration and build details. All of these videos of yours keep getting better and better. Hope you can continue to share with such high quality 👍👍😎👍👍
More to come thank you very much
When the work is top notch, but the video is so relaxing you gotta fight to stay awake so you can see how everything comes out.
Thank you
Amazing craftsmanship! So well done! Nice work! Love your videos!
Thank you sir
You are truly a master at a young age. Awesome. I'm a new sub.
Thank you sir
Beautiful work
Thank you
Awesome video. Great videography and speaking. Your a pro. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Great work, didn’t realise they sold British made woodworking machines in the states.
I guess so
Fantastic build.
Thanks!
Considering what the end use is, you produced a work of art.👍👍👍
Thank you
..wow ! great job bro ! ......
Thank you
Very nice job. I think I'll avoid taking a 30 thou cut on my mini lathe though ;)
Lol I understand that
That was beautiful to watch. I wanna win the lottery and commission some work with you :)
Lol thanks
Excellent video. Quality work and well explained. New sub!
Thank you
Awesome job!

Jewelry??
?
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair i ment wearing jewelry in a shop.my pop was a machinist and he was against it.n never let me forget how dangerous it was.he would say " machines cant think".just sharing.nice work.
Gotcha thx yeah
Great to see true craftsman working.
You are truly an American Craftsman!
Thank you for the encouragement
That is using space shuttle technology to manufacture a simple planer guard what a waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol
Space shuttles use CnC not old manual mills
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair But they still use people to programme them:-))
Indeed it’s an important job
