- We're elevating this build, quite literally. I've wanted to make some turned aluminium case feet for a long time, this seemed the perfect opportunity to break out the lathe and give it a go!

I spent most of my adulthood with machinist, welder.. building gigs for the automotive and defense industry.. i saw this level of workmanshift, dedication, and overall perfection in one case only: when we built parts for submarines.. Sir, thanks
a doctor in precise engineering
You can never have too much aluminum stock sir.
i love the legs and feet! looks like a lunar lander or a mars probe!
thanks, now i want a CNC :P
haha wtf is that 'alo alo' at @2:35 ! that threw me off, i'm cracking up! edit: haha the AEROPLANE @4:14! you've gone a bit bonkers with this one! :-D love it
I just came down to comment that : )
I heard that too!
I was thinkin the same.. wth this BA plane is doing?
I thought I still had Team Speak open and one of my mates said it. Sounds just like him.
its a game, watch, collect the obv goofs into something for a prize! also at 10:30 vid time as well i heard something
Those Legs are likely to be copied by a smaller pc case making company in the near future. haha they look so good no doubt 🤣
Alex, love to hear you talk about the steps you take and the issues you face. As a person that CNC's most of the same type of parts as you, I know all too well the hurdles you face. I will say I enjoy watching you make things and see what you do to overcome problems. Great job man!
my good that looks good! sounds like you had a tough time, but boy did you deliver. these look like parts for the mars rover or moon lander. definitely NASA worthy thats for sure. amazing job Alex, as usual and then some! your builds have always been impressive, but it sounds and seems like you're learning and improving with every project.
that's too good for get only 15k views.
Does Elon Musk knows that you are messing around with the new legs for his Starship?! Oh, wait! I better send him a tweet with this video link... ok, done!
Elon Musk hat dir ein kleines Raumschiff geliehen!

You never cease to amaze me.
Yeah... those mini-lathes are alright for soft materials, great for delrin but if you want to do parting ops it really requires at least it's more recent released and also bigger brother.
Got one myself a couple weeks ago. Fixed all the issues I had with the mini-mini one you have there!
Got mine for € 699,- from the local import/rebrand-scumbags HBM-Machines.
Unannounced new iteration of all the mini-lathes they sell. Noticed the changes by accident when I went for different stuff couple weeks back.
Tried it out a bit in the showroom and decided to get one and try it out thoroughly with the projects I need one for .. Thus far, it has been everything I wished the older smaller version to be.
what do you do with all of these pc mods when you finish them? do you sell them? I usually sell mine on ebay but some of the people there... i had one person offer me 1200 dollars for a 5k double loop liquid cooled pc and say because new consoles are coming out soon and will be better than that pc no one will want it and when i said umm no. he said fine ill go buy one from Walmart or best buy. honestly though i think that would be punishment enough for his statement so i let it go. your conversation about how much time that went into the difficult parts of the job that look small reminded me of that is why i brought it up!
Have you ever considered colour anodising the aluminium? This will not only add the colour of choice, it will also prevent oxidation of the aluminium
At this point I fully believe Alex is just using these beautiful cases as an excuse to justify playing with engineering and machining parts :D This much attention to detail requires so much love for engineering and machining.
How very dare you, you've now got me thinking ditch the dinning table a CNC would be better. :) I was a tool maker in my younger days and I've always missed that trade.
Anodize everything plz
Don’t normally comment, not a machinist or engineer but a PC enthusiast. Your channel is so underrated. Love your builds, this video particularly made me laugh with the ‘feck feck feck’ and lots of waving arms in the air scenario in order to get it finished. Keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to the final build. 👍🏻
Beautiful vídeo, but, Im new in machining, and I don't understand how the screws can fix that parts....
Nice works, I suggest all four round legs should be place another flat round exact the same diameter at the bottom, thus exact the same diameter rubber waser in between for shock absorbing, tq
maybe you need to invest in a bandsaw that is used to cut metal down to shorter length for the mill and lathe. You can get pretty good ones that are fairly small. Well comparable to your minilathe in what your max stock size that can be used.
I hate the legs, but what do i know? Watching you work, however, was an absolute pleasure, sir. Thank you
Hello! May I know which cnc machine is used for creation of this details? I didn't find it in other vids. Thank you.
I will gladly pay $700 for these beautifully handcrafted legs than Mac Pro’s!!!
14 евро за кружку? вы там совсем упоролись? ты компы собираешь не бесплатно какие еще могут быть кружки? 0.13 евро цена твоей кружки со всеми расходами ...
you do not heat treat HSS. you grind it to the shape you want then sand it smooth. by "heat treating" it you actually tempered it and maybe hardend it a little but certainly made it softer and duller.
The transition between the plate and the leg just triggers me :s nothing compared with the leg and the base support transition...
What is the black material you have used for the bed of your cnc?
Cheers nice work.
That junction between the feet and the legs is seamless clean. I was hanging out in a tool and die shop before i was 5, It was next door to my dad's mechanical engineering consulting business. Just that alone, knowing how tricky that is, makes me wish I could afford your services for a custom case idea i have..... Can I get a discount if I throw in some moustache wax.....?
which controller and software do you use for your cnc? Linuxcnc?
What is the best pc water cooling fluid for long term use?
Why exactly did you put the feet on the mill to mill the OD and the bottom of the feet instead of on the lathe? Could have drilled and tapped a waste bit of stock and mounted the feet just like on the milling bed. Would have saved some time, produced a smoother (or at least more pleasing - in my opinion - , circular pattern) surface on the bottom, as well as giving you a chance to easily chamfer the edges slightly to produce the polished glint you like :)
Ah, okay.. You don't trust your lathe and lack the needed -experience- naive stupidity to hold a piece of sandpaper glued to a wooden stick onto the OD of a part spinning away in the chuck :D
Did you actually do a stress calculation? Thats a lot of bending stress, feels like there is gonna be some warping over time :/ Also the screws that hold the foot itself to the longer part are not really stressed "correctly", might be worth to roughly calculate the rigidity and the bending with a rough total weight of the entire case imo
There really is not a lot of bending stress at all. This isn't a bridge, just a PC.
Looking at the feet on that thing... Apollo! :O
Hey may I ask what face milling tool you used?
Thank you for building this so I didnt have to
How to coating on this part
Kindly made video
At 13:10 you show your new vice. You say you picked it up on, what sounded like, "ax master". Do you have a link, product number, name to help us find one? I have been looking for a budget quality vice.
Good call, popped it in the video description for you!
@@bittech1 thank you
Rarely been so excited about legs.
Lindo design. Bela usinagem 👏👏👏👏
I doubt that this will be a beautiful case.
Bruh, you just can't spring a handlebar mustache on a brother without warning. You came up in my feel and POW! Now that I'm over the shock, it's EPIC!!!
Subscribed!
what if it get bent🧐it can get bent easily
2:36 wtf was that sound?!
will you be putting on any rubber pads on the feet to keep from scuffing and sliding? Great video!
Yup I think so, will add close to the end though as I still need to be able to remove the feet for the time being.
@@bittech1 Makes sense. You do amazing work. I always turn to my wife when the cnc is going and ask her questions she probably doesn't know about engineering as she studied manufacturing at university.
Do you have a video where you talk about your background in all this stuff? Did you go to school for it, or are you 100% self-taught?
All I can say is....WOW..........
✊😉👍
No one sees the countless hours getting to this place, the 10,000 hours to learn the software and add to the tooling/knowledge of it is inspiring. The typical youtube watcher looking for the moneyshot on these can't help but be sucked into learning and watching longer. Thank you for the content I love it!
So, besides the absolute magnificent job you're doing on the progress so far (!!), may I ask you where on earth you buy your layout fluid from that comes with that brush?
I so far have been unable to find a place to get for instance blue Dykem or anything similar here in the Netherlands... Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong stuff all together?
Anyone else perhaps able to point me in the right direction?
Wich tool do you use to mill in 9:00?
Are you planning to anodize the aluminum? Leaving it raw and prone to scratching would freak me out with all the work you have done to this point. I guess small touch ups would be doable with the bead blasted finish, just a lot of disassembly and reassembly.
what do you mean "heat treated HSS steal"? High speed steel should not be heat treated, it's already as hard as it should be.
If you meant tool steel that would make more sense, as you aren't limited to grinding for shaping, and it does need heat treating.
It's coming together very nicely, absolutely stunning work. A little constructive criticism, the back two 90 degree corners of the base plate overhangs the legs of the case a little too much and subtracts from the gorgeous fit and finish of the rest of the build. But the two rounded off at a 45 degree angle looks perfect.
This needs more views! Amazing
Hey don't worry, your aeroplane has arrived at my destination. just give me a minute...
I have to say I'm really glad I found this channel. Top notch work! Out of curiosity, what is your background? (degree, prior industry experience?)
Why don't you build a custom water loop c in which you try to make almost every part that u can build.
Even the water blocks
Absolutely stunning. I would ask if you do commissions, but I could never afford a piece of this level of mastercraftsmanship.
nnnoice
the best hard old cool pc
Oh boy, can't wait to see this project finished! God, you're so talented and dedicated, it's notable the passion you put on everything you do. I do hope to meet you someday, you're my hero!
What is the purpose of recessing the legs into the base
Additional rigidity
Sorry world techtubers....this its not tech, this is a freaking awesome artpiece !
OMG! I want one of whatever case you are building!
I haven't even seen the finish product in it's entirety yet, but I want one.
Pretty please?
nice
Yahhh that's difficult but you've DONE IT ✅
That's cool and satisfying
It’s so inspiring watching your design and manufacturing process. Way to improvise, meet your deadline and still make some really stunning parts.
I really need to get a little cnc like yours or even just a mini-mill. Beautiful work sir, truly beautiful.
Ich mag deinen Schnurrbart!
The build looks amazing so far, can't wait to see it finished. The jumbo jet flying over your head was a nice touch to the video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Alex - fab design and machining - CNC jewelry.
that looks amazing!! I know this would take alot more effort to do but knurling the sides of the feet would look even better. (obv my opinion) great job as usual
what was the surfacing pass on the remaining stock at @8:57 for? just cos you had the cnc running, or was it important to todays process?
szép!
I couldn't help but wish for large rubber pads recessed into the feet.
Also, those offset-hole brass nuts are working pretty darn great aren't they?! Gotta get myself some of those also!
This looks already better than the iMac Pro! I can't wait for the next video!
i mean your work is amazing but it feels like by the time you'll be done the pc will be 5 years old
Absolutley loving this build. Looking forward to part 20 ;)
Unbelievable! Great video! Enjoyed it tremendously!
RESPECT for what you have done! 👌🏼👍🏼
🙏
sick!
I was expecting you to throw the lathe out and get out the new great budget lathe you just picked up...
Magnificent work! Looking forward to the rest of the series and build!
Seriously stunning work mate.
Can't wait for the next one!
You gotta start selling these machined parts or provide cnc services.
This is going to be a stunning build. Im loving watching it all come together.
booo i just missed the premiere! anyway i'll just leave a like and start watching.
Is it just me or are his machining montages soothing AF?
Afraid to ask how much a case like this would cost to buy.
I’m addicted to your content, you are truly a creative person
The vice I got with my drill press was an instant paper weight :D
whats the DIN. name of the alu ? to my eyes it looks like some 6061-6062 but i can be wrong
btw you do know that you can use a hand drill as power feed on the leath right
I like everything about this channel.
I feel like I should be paying $1.95 per minute to watch this channel.
Ikr, because sharing your knowledge must be payed gold. Fucking westerners these days 🤦🏽♂️
yes, the feet are integral for case building
Corner rounders can be so dang useful.
You should watch 'This Old Tony's' mini lathe videos to hopefully improve your setup.
Also, I would have put a chamfer on the the two square corners of the base plate to match the other ones. IMO it would look better.
Aha they're square for a reason btw
@@bittech1 Ahhhh! is it a Secret? Have you watched Tony's vids? I think they may help improve the performance of your lathe.
we call those outriggers
Craftsman!!
