+Conversation Robot I know, that was a classic come back line to all the replies he's been getting. That should be put in every safety manual, when in doubt, add another rubber band. Keep up the great work Matthias.
"if you don't have the sense to touch this part, you really shouldn't be using a lathe" - FREAKING CLASSIC! I have a sign in my shop that reads "This machinery does not have a brain of it's own, you must use yours". Common sense is your best form of safety folks. You rock Matthias!
"Not that many problems you can solve with a lathe" - I am excited to see the fallout from this comment! haha. Great work Matthias, but have you tried using Sketchup to draw your plans? It's probably better than whatever you were using.
I feel your pain man. People are sometimes helpless because it is just to easy to ask rather than think. Really enjoy your channel you have inspired me to be a better wood worker, and to push what other people don't believe is possible. Cheers.
Thanks for the video. I'm sure we just don't want to see you get hurt. I am a tool and die and machinist guy and seen some bad accidents on machines. I love how you seem so eager to learn and try different things. You are successful already !. Rich
Re Wooden bearings. A hay mower produced in the 30's/40's used an oil soaked oak bearing on the drive shaft for the blade.. It at a fairly moderate speed. When my cousin and I took it apart for a project 30 yrs later it was still in good shape.
With so many questions and suggestions, your lathe is just what I need. I worried if the wood bearings would last. You proved to me that they would, for the way I would use it. 👌
This design gives an excellent concept to modify this to add as an attachment for the wood 4' drill press that i adapted yours, a Japanese maker's design and a drawer slide carriage design with my own interchangeable base table and lathe stock assembly design, made with aged oak from a kitchen cabinet drawer face set. That stuff is HARD!
hihihi the world is a fun place. First you are asked to do 1 thing, then you are asked WHY. Its always intresting to follow your videos. I guess its a million ways to do a thing, but this is the way you did it. Wish all a good week
JBpiification Well about 17 people so far seem to thing it was pretty funny. Or at least worth a thumbs up. So your minority opinion has been acknowledge. Thank you for your time.
Matthias, Great feedback to all the questions and comments. You do an excellent job of keeping the information flowing while enhancing your words with visual demonstrations. Stay Awesome!
Hey, Matthias. I don't know if you actually read these comments, but I really loved watching your home-improvement projects. They are sweet and lovely. Please, would you please, do more of those in the future. Thanks.
I don't know how long ago it was now but I do believe it was you that turned me onto Sketch up. I think it was the best tip, though not near the only one I've gotten from you.
"Most of my projects start with a problem, and not so much problems are solved with a lathe ..." :-) So true, mutatis mutandis in different contexts... problem driven practice , the common sense behind it all... love it.
You look like your father more every year.I am glad that you pointed out the speed of your lathe and that higher rpm may need more rubber bands.That thing reminds me of a jack shaft idler wheel clutch I built when I was ten.I used the contraption to convert a vertical shaft lawn mower engine to horizontal.solved the problem though.
Matthias, my hat is off to you and all the other youtube content producers for having the patience to put up with all the inane questions as well as the self appointed safety police. Illegitimi Non Corborundum.
Great video, Matthias! It was nice to hear a bit more insight from you regarding this project and your design and building process more generally . The snarky sketch up responses were icing on the cake!
Must have taken me ten time the length of your video just to read the comments. Thanks so much for your diligent weekly broadcasts. I tried to do a UA-cam video once and gave up after two day effort so have I have a sense of the effort you put in to do what you do. Your inventiveness makes me think I am watching a modern day Thomas Edison.
chuckle, people always ask about your plywood because it always looks so nice. they are used to the cheap crap frequently used in the construction industry and don't know that while solid wood is great for allot of things, good plywood looks pretty much as good (especially with veneer) and is generally stronger depending on what you are doing with it. solid wood is geat, and so flexible in what you can do with it, but plywood cheap or nice is what carries the weight as it were. so much disdain for plywood among woodworkers that folk who are new or haven't actually worked wood pick up the idea that plywood is bad and never look to see what the actual plywood you might buy from the store is, just see the sheet crap that throwaway houses are made with, or the crap that comes with prefab furniture. hell, even decent quality chip board and fiber board (mdf) are awesome materials to use for many things, particularly if you are painting, but with chip board you can even use the look with stains in some applications. don't stain mdf, it is too impregnated with glue to take a stain right, and it won't hold what it gets.
Interesting, the main reason I acquired a lathe was to solve specific problems (fixing new tool handles, turning pulleys and components). I don't use it for much more than that I guess.
Hi!!! I think that the biggest problem you have now it's to find a problem to solve with the lathe. Great video and I think you are a great content creator. Greetings from Chile.
Matthias, I really like your lathe and your creativity always amazes me. Keep on inventing, your very good at it as you may know! Thank you for your video, enjoy every one.
Thanks for the FAQ, Matthias! One suggestion: maybe for the bearing blocks, you could use a strong but porous wood, like red oak. You could then soak them in oil overnight, and from then on it wouldn't take much regular addition of oil for them to be sort of "self-oiling" bearings. Just a thought, and keep up the great videos!
If you take the allthread from the 4 jaw chuck and squish the threads slightly in a vise, the flat it creates will cause an interference and prevent the nuts from being loose. It's a nice trick that is a compromise between thread locker and jam nuts, when you need an interference on a nut. This works best on a milling vise with smooth jaws.
I ended up making a handle for a file at work. It's a simple thing with generally good results. I mean, it's a hunk of wood that fits the hand that has a hole in it. Why get fancy?
I stopped coming here for the amazing builds... I now come here to see how many things fly off, get caught In a lathe or give kick back! Don't forget the amazing flying table jump tests and the always popular will it break glue and joint tests! Totally need a lab coat for testing time!
That’s a neat project. Wouldn’t do that myself having commercial equipment but I certainly admire the home made approach. You may find you have viewers who would be glad to take that spindle and run it on a metal lathe and set you up with a solid ground taper. Community’s generally help each other ;-)
I like tools. By watching you and your art, i am very impressed and thought came to my mind if one can make tools with wood så one can make tools with anything. Spacianly i am very impressed how you write through the wooden arm.
I absolutely agree with the last statement. "Not that many problems are solved with a lathe" You have to go searching for a circle solution when most problems need square solutions.
I'm glad you went with the wooden bearings. I understand that you simply wanted an application to use them to see how well they'd stand up to use, but one of the cool aspects of this machine is that it is almost entirely made of of wood. Ranks high on the coolness scale methinks.OH! You've gotta make a wooden electric motor! How cool would that be?!
I recently used Redwood for bearings. I was surprised how hard Redwood is. It also taps almost like mild steel. The supply I have was salvaged from a children's playground and consists of 20 pieces 4 foot long with 2.5 inch by 6 inch faces. Believe it or not the guy who salvaged the wood was going to use it as firewood. I was not sure how well the bearings would hold up but I've been impressed and I too have an oiler hole leading to the shaft I periodically place oil in.
hey i was thinking bout using this same wood bearing method in a future build of mine. but thought about using grease rather than oil. do you think oil is better than grease or nah?
@@rushhour6444 I used oil and drilled a small hole to drip oil onto the shaft that's within the bearing. It worked really well. Can't see why grease can't do as well.
A while ago with one of the first lathe videos you asked for ideas of projects to do on it, I have a project for it that you might be able to do and find useful. Perhaps you could use a gear assembly to allow for fine indexing, this could be used in conjunction with a mill head style attachment for the lathe. The idea I had in mind was to use the mill head perhaps with something like a router piece designed to cut gear teath. This could be used to cut teeth smaller than you can do on a bandsaw for the same radius gear allowing you to get higher gear ratios for the same circumference gear. If this idea is stupid don't hesitate to tell me so
It's just too obvious it's sketchup if you look at some of the plans / plan videos and you've used sketchup before. Anyways, here is one idea on how to convert your 4 jaw chuck into a self centering one: just put gears on each nut and add a big gear driving them. Then come up with a way to lock the big gear in place. Unfortunately it won't work that well since the diameter of the big gear has to change when adjusting it. A simpler method might be to just put a pulley on each nut and put a string around nuts *1 and 2; 2 and 3; 3 and 4; 4 and 1.* Just keep in mind that the nuts come out so in order to connect the pulleys to the nuts use coupling nuts (becouse they're longer) and let the pulleys slide on them (the pulley will have a hexagonal cutout in the center), so that when the nuts move outwards the pulleys themselves stay in place.
Nice video, it shows that you have really thought through what te build en how to construct. I really love the simplicity from your designs(Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”, Confucius). 👌👌👌
Great stuff, Matthias. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm gonna build a lathe similar to yours. I like the idea of the wooden bearings, as well as some of the other things you did. I disagree with you about the belt guard. Make one for it. It's too simple and easy a way to avoid a potentially very serious disfigurement not to do it. Think about your kid and how maybe one day he'll be using it, and he doesn't have all your experience around power equipment. Think of all the people watching this video who do not have all of your experience. But really it's not about experience and knowing to keep away from the belt, it's all too easy for anybody to have a moment of inattention while focusing on the project at hand, or for you to lose your balance or trip or slip or stumble or get a sleeve caught in it -- just make one and have done. It's true, the spinning block of wood is a dangerous thing, and really all power tools are inherently dangerous, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take what precautions we can to make them as safe as possible. Safety is no accident.
Id make a sanding disc attachment for where the chuck goes and table for the stock to attach into the rails... I love the idea of making these kinds of tool out of wood.
Hey Matthias - There's this cool CAD like tool called SketchUP. You should think about using it...LOL. Where would we UA-camrs be without the safety police and the folks who've never heard of Google...
ah, but you could solve one problem with it (well perhaps turn it circular)...... Make a ring/hoop, that slides over the 4 jaws/bolts of the chuck, and then is just screwed from either side with small screws into the ply. Cheers for the vids Matthias, very enjoyable. Cheers Richie.
Our old Windmills in the Netherlands do have wooden shafts and stone bearings.I guess that limestone could work (easy to drill) and you most probably do not have to worry about oiling the bearing.
On your 4-Jaw chuck why don't you drill a small hole above each jaw for a interference fit on a pin into the face a little above the extreme travel of the jaw. Insert a pin to keep the jaws from flying out of the slots. One pin at each jaw should suffice. If you have to change the jaw just tap the pin out and replace the jaw. Possibly a small nail would work.
I still think you could make a really cool self centering chuck using your 2D pantograph machine or, possible, the copy carver. especially with the finer bits on the dremmel. probably wouldnt be a great chuck, but the process could be fun!
i really like that you build it whit stuff anyone can get cheap. if after that if i start to think i need a better one to make this or that, then i would know why i need a better one. if i dont like it did not cost much.
The airborne chuck jaw strikes sound so much like the marble machines. Perhaps the lathe is the basis for a 1/3 HP magnum centrifugal marble pump. If only you knew of any CAD software to aid in the design process!
"For extra safety, I now have two rubber bands..."
I love you, Matthias.
+Conversation Robot I know, that was a classic come back line to all the replies he's been getting. That should be put in every safety manual, when in doubt, add another rubber band. Keep up the great work Matthias.

The chuck is self centering...You center it yourself!
I was wondering why it wouldn't work! I left my workpiece in the chuck for hours waiting for it to centre, I just thought it was lazy.
+Spark Gap Aah! What a shame. You,ve been sent a Self centered Chuck by mistake.

Lol, you never cease to amaze me!
I absolutely agree with the last statement. "Not that many problems are solved with a lathe"
You have to go searching for a circle solution when most problems need square solutions.
You should use SketchUp instead of Solidworks to draw you plans.
Definitely going to make this one (and buy the plans), as soon as I find a suitable motor. No use having a lathe just standing there without motor
I'm glad you went with the wooden bearings. I understand that you simply wanted an application to use them to see how well they'd stand up to use, but one of the cool aspects of this machine is that it is almost entirely made of of wood.

It's just too obvious it's sketchup if you look at some of the plans / plan videos and you've used sketchup before.

Hey Matthias - There's this cool CAD like tool called SketchUP. You should think about using it...LOL. Where would we UA-camrs be without the safety police and the folks who've never heard of Google...
It was really hilarious to see you respond sketchup !!! : )
haha, i love watching your vids Matthias, please make more, and remember folks 2 elastic bands is much safer than 1
"instead of deez nuts".. I had to giggle. 4:37
Have you thought about drawing concentric circles on the chuck to help when centring by eye?
ah, but you could solve one problem with it (well perhaps turn it circular)...... Make a ring/hoop, that slides over the 4 jaws/bolts of the chuck, and then is just screwed from either side with small screws into the ply. Cheers for the vids Matthias, very enjoyable. Cheers Richie.
It's been an interesting project, thanks for sharing Matthias. Plus, your reaction to exasperating questions is always entertaining ;o) xox
