I painted my wheels, bumpers and cage on an Offroad buggy with hammered paint. It makes touch ups blend in with original paint unnoticeable. Good paint for machines that live a hard life but you want to look bitchin!
Come for the imagination, stay for the surprises, return for the humour. There are few people who can successfully combine vision and execution while still retaining whimsy. Outstanding.
Glin makes me grin. Glin foil is as easy to say as tin foil (which we use interchangeably though technically erroneously for aluminium foil). Count another vote for glin.
Uri's videos are such a journey, he is in fact, one of the few youtubers that i take time to watch the whole video, out of respect and curiosity for what he is doing. Keep going!
If I walked in someone's shop and saw that sitting on a table, and they told me it was an Atlas or similar brand of smaller machine tools from the ~50's, I'd believe them. Until I had to carry it of course. This is one of my favorite builds you've done.
I love the mix of the hammer finish, nameplate, and your trademark stylistic flourishes - a "mid-century industrial meets antique artisanal" look that comes together beautifully!
You crack me up. You act like you have no idea what you're doing but then, in the end, you get this masterfully engineered piece of machinery. Always a pleasure to watch! Also the Hammerite was the right choice!
I love the hammer finish, Perfect for metal working machines. As for the word choice I would recommend alumiumumimumim, if you can’t please everyone you might as well annoy both sides.
Your remind me of my late father who also managed to make his own powertools from whatever scrap he found and deemed useful. He always amazed me, and now you are doing that all over again. Delicious!
Its been like a year since I watched your channel, I just haven’t seen your videos in my feed, but my goodness the video quality and editing, and even your own sense of humor have all developed so much since I last watched. Im blown away by the quality of the things you produce. Hats off 👏🏽
When I first saw the title I was quite skeptical but I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing these videos are not only in the craftsmanship but the person behind the camera as well!!
Hammered finish paint is awesome, it's so underappreciated. It was perfect for this to make it look like metal. Only other thing that could work would be a Wrinkle finish paint. But I like the Hammered one a lot. Nice job on this.
That looks great Uri, I love that you made it look like a casting but feel like wood. Always fun to learn with you, and thanks for the bonus nameplate engraving - I always like that bit.
Man, I love your sense of humor so much. I have been a fan or this show for years and it still puts a smile on my face like no other. Thank you Uri, Blessings!!!
I have so much respect for you dude. for whatever reason, this video made me laugh a lot. really good editing and music choice, awesome project and I love the hammered finish, it looks like vintage machinery. looking forward to the next one, Thanks Uri.
Another great video. You are just so creative. One little thing. That bit is actually for ferrous metal. For non-ferrous metal, there are special bits. Those don't have a cross pattern but cut sooo much cleaner in brass and ALUMINIUM. I'm actually from the Netherlands and just realised it is spelled the same in dutch.
You should probably drill a hole in the top surface to accept a removable dowel, that way you have something to lean small workpieces against and won't be as likely to run a finger into the burr if it grabs.
Fantastic work on this! Ive been using a palm router in a similar fashion for fine metalwork adjustment for a while now. I think it's time to make it more permanent!
An incredible machine. It actually looks like cast iron from the 50s. The paint AK 250-90 is top synthetic and dries incredibly long, I think even a week depending on the conditions.
Do you know the specific name of the metal or finish? I've seen microscopes, slide projectors, and night visors with that chip texture gray color but haven't managed to find the name online
My wife isn’t a woodworker- or metal worker - or any sort of practical craftsperson - but she is a big Uri Tuchman fan. She loves watching these videos, apparently they are ‘therapeutic’. I wonder how many other subscribers are here because this is better than yoga or meditation?
Uri, you were killing me in this one!😂 “my stupid lathe”, the delicious 80’s milling montage, and the diatribe on aluminum/aluminium (maybe call it pseudo-silver??)
The "fight" music when you try to get that lead screw into the housing for your adjustment mechanism is peak Uri. Please never change. Favorite maker, hands down.
LOVE this video. Now I need one of these ... How do you adjust squareness to the work? In Belgium we just say Alu (with dutch pronunciation of the "u")
I love the hammered finish paint texture and even the color of it. Excellent job on this build, and I loved the video! You're the man with the plan, Uri!
i suggest "LM" as the new word for aluminium, which stands for "light metal" (and works also in german with "leichtmetall") and also sounds a bit like the actual word...
Amazing as always. I was watching an Ausie motorcycle channel and the guy kept referring to aluminum sheet as just "alloy." It took me a while to figure it out, but he just always said "alloy," and it worked.
Yes, I've found the hammered finish paint to be a real lifesaver when things aren't working out quite as expected. Perhaps the most entertaining of all paint, what with all the bubbling and fizzing after application. It works well in spray cans too.
I didn't realize you could be more entertaining than you had already been. The music and voice effects (reverb, etc.) had me chuckling the entire video.
Uri! You are priceless! Such a great craftsman and so creative. You make beautiful things and machines and I enjoy the content just as much as your delightful sense of humor! Keep it up!
You could also use a 14 in. chop saw for metal. They make them with cold cutting, carbide toothed blades now (instead of the silicon carbide or aluminum oxide fiberglass blades of yore) which cut more cleanly and quickly. You can get straighter cuts that way. I can’t believe you have gone this long without an angle grinder! They’re a must for any shop.
I always love seeing you create these amazing things with character. You bring art back to craftsmanship. Plus you're freaking hilarious! Thank you for the wonderful content.
You are like that one guide on a trip that shows a lot of things that the official tour does not include because he improvised mixed with the teacher that just did whatever they wanted after watching something cool in tv - great channel and I'm glad I found you!
13:40 nope, you don't need a hardener. It's just designed to dry very slowly for certain applications. You can put them in an (industrial) oven, to get a fast hardening process (60 °C for an hour, and you can assemble the parts) or let it dry for 24h under 20 °C conditions before assembly. Final hardness is reached after 8-10 days.
They are "Insert nuts" my friend. Who doesn't love the idea of using machine screws in wood? They can be tricky to get into the wood though. That thing you made. So nice!
Mr. Tuchman, I always love your videos about craftsmanship and making tools and I try to follow the same themes you do when I make my tools, even if I’m not able to be that artistic. Thanks for the inspiration!
I spent the whole painting part of the video trying very very very hard to not yell Hammerite / Hammered finish at my monitor. It was absolutely the right choice.It was super common on older bench tools for decades so it absolutely gives the impression of being a cast tool and not wood.
Love the Hammerite paint finish, reminds me of all the old equipment from the metalworking shop at school, something about that texture and colour that brings back memories. Neat tool too :)
Dont forget to clean metal shavings fron inside the box, it will be completely filled with them after a year of use. And maybe protect electronics from shorting by shavings. Great project by the way, you are a true craftsman.
The Titanic reference made me smile! “I’ll never let you go”…immediately lets go. Great build! Looks like a proper old school workshop machine with that hammer finish and logo on it. I think that your name needs to be cast into the side in large letters for the full effect though.
In the States it is: A-lu-mi-num ... In the UK it is pronounced and sometimes spelled Al-u-min-i-um. Most Americans have lazy tongues, so 4 syllables instead of 5 is naturally easier for us. Great job Uri! You never cease to amaze us! Delicious!
Always spelled Aluminium in the UK! Unless autocorrect with a US dictionary gets to it…. The history of the word Aluminum is quite interesting - it came about because of a spelling mistake in a newspaper headline about a new factory and process to produce the metal. Rather than correct the spelling, the inventor of the process adopted it as the brand name for the metal. Well, that is one version of history, anyway! Americans adopted the name “Aluminum” for aluminium in the same way they use ‘Hoover’ for vacuum cleaners or ‘Google’ to search the internet, I suppose. I take Uri’s point, though. They are both clumsy words… most people I know ‘in the trade’ call it “Ali”.
It looks pretty convincing. If I saw that in a workshop, I'd assume it was cast alloy or iron. The only thing that I think could be improved is that control plate on the front. It could do with some engraved labels, and recessing the wood behind it so the plate sits flush with the front. That would make it look more like "It left the factory like that". As it stands, the plate screwed to the surface like that, it makes the panel look a bit like something an engineer did to adapt an old machine to take a newer replacement set of switches.
As a metal boi myself, I enjoy seeing the ways your create things. Like the channel for the wire to run under the base, here I'm thinking okay get it in the mill to cut that
That's the color of choice from the mid '60s, I had a 48" belt/disc sander with the same color from 1965. Also had a router table lift of somewhat similar design, minus the worm gear.
This is the first video of yours I have seen, the algorithm seems to be working! From the start I was expecting to see this end in a visit to the hospital, but by the end I think you’re whatever the DIY version of ‘Chaotic Good’ is. Subscribed. 👍
That Hammered Finish paint was the perfect choice and really makes it look like it was constructed out of metal.
I didn't see any drunk people from Finland oh wait...
yeah that finish really looks great
Hammered Finish a mistake.... Greetings
I'd never before considered applying Hammered Finish paint to wood, but your faux metal enclosure looks great.
I would rather to have seen a grey iron hand scraped finish. That would truly be impressive.
Uri, you are a perfect example of the phrase, "A craftsman is only limited by his imagination, not by his tools." You are a great craftsman!
A tremendous talent. The world needs more Uri.

I love the hammered finish. It makes it look like a 50+ year old machine tool. Beautiful work!
I've been very tempted to paint my entire motorcycle in the stuff
Im considering doing it to my bike😂

The Polish word for aluminum is glin. Soooo much better!
This video really made my day. I needed a laugh, and you provided several. Thank you!
+1 for glin!
In England the colloquial name is Ali, pronounce like alley, presumably from aluminium alloy.
Yes, glin, I like it!
Glin makes me grin. Glin foil is as easy to say as tin foil (which we use interchangeably though technically erroneously for aluminium foil). Count another vote for glin.
@@chrisstephens6673 I just call it 'alloy' at work. But Tin is tin, not rolled steel.
Man, you make art and engineering blend together effortlessly.
In addition, there are always some tricks hidden here and there, with or without edits. Plus, the dry humor and jokes, too

I love the hammer finish, Perfect for metal working machines. As for the word choice I would recommend alumiumumimumim, if you can’t please everyone you might as well annoy both sides.
That Hammerite tricked my brain again and again.
Your creations are a piece of art! And your editing is also a piece of art!
Your remind me of my late father who also managed to make his own powertools from whatever scrap he found and deemed useful. He always amazed me, and now you are doing that all over again. Delicious!
Delicious? You ate something he made? Thats crazy
That’s Brilliant Uri, being able to make your own followers for various bits is going to make this super versatile. Cheers, well done.
The paint job is great, so is the nameplate, but what I really love the most about your builds is
(drum roll)
THE HANDLES! Absolutely sensuous!
Thx.

"To make a little boxy box." Here in mid-Canada I am equally enjoying your design, work methods and humour.
I subscribed as well.
We always just call Aluminium ‘Ali’ for short. As in a Ali plate or a bar of Ali.
In germany we shorten it to 'Alu'. Especially when refering to something made out of it like 'Alufolie' "alu-foil".
When I first saw the title I was quite skeptical but I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing these videos are not only in the craftsmanship but the person behind the camera as well!!
Come for the cool project, stay for the personality
Cheers for showing your "oops moments". You're helping other craftsmen be more confident about their own little blunders.
One of your better mad scientist creations. The hammer finish is perfect setting for the branding. It works!!
Hammered finish paint is awesome, it's so underappreciated. It was perfect for this to make it look like metal. Only other thing that could work would be a Wrinkle finish paint. But I like the Hammered one a lot. Nice job on this.

PhotoShop CAD skills are on point 👌🏼
Man that thing is just stunning. The vintage machine tool vibe and color. Beautiful. Looks like it works quite well, also. Right on
That looks great Uri, I love that you made it look like a casting but feel like wood. Always fun to learn with you, and thanks for the bonus nameplate engraving - I always like that bit.
Man, I love your sense of humor so much. I have been a fan or this show for years and it still puts a smile on my face like no other. Thank you Uri, Blessings!!!
Rumour has it Paul Simon wrote 'you can call me Al' to promote an alternative name for aluminium.
I have so much respect for you dude. for whatever reason, this video made me laugh a lot. really good editing and music choice, awesome project and I love the hammered finish, it looks like vintage machinery. looking forward to the next one, Thanks Uri.

Thanks! Absoluty! Though, I thought about using an actual router, but I'm afraid to die 😂
The spindle motor im using is a bit slower.
An incredible machine. It actually looks like cast iron from the 50s. The paint AK 250-90 is top synthetic and dries incredibly long, I think even a week depending on the conditions.
After drying is complete, it starts to harden. Like laqueurs, concrete, glues, epoxy, urethane etc. to reach the final result and stifness.
Do you know the specific name of the metal or finish? I've seen microscopes, slide projectors, and night visors with that chip texture gray color but haven't managed to find the name online

pseudo-silber exists, called Neusilber, and basically it's a copper alloy - copper, nickel, zinc, aka 'melchiore'
@@dmitrymikheev7899 interesting
The "fight" music when you try to get that lead screw into the housing for your adjustment mechanism is peak Uri. Please never change. Favorite maker, hands down.
This is a really cool and inspiring build. I love that you make what you need with whats on hand. It came out so good, plus that paint is tits.
I always forget how hilarious the editing on these videos is on top of being genuinely impressive projects
LOVE this video. Now I need one of these ... How do you adjust squareness to the work? In Belgium we just say Alu (with dutch pronunciation of the "u")
That is so cool man! It looks official and works great, love the content you drop and seeing the awesome things you create
I was wondering....how do you deal with the metal shavings falling down into the box? And your right the metal finish is beautiful!
especially since there is a china powersupply built in there. high pucker factor on the first slip aswell...
I love the hammered finish paint texture and even the color of it. Excellent job on this build, and I loved the video! You're the man with the plan, Uri!
I use my router for metal (aluminum) quite frequently. It's surprisingly capable, and makes up for my lack of having a mill.
Honestly the variety of skills you showed was exceptional, especially the engraving work, I'm so envious.
i suggest "LM" as the new word for aluminium, which stands for "light metal" (and works also in german with "leichtmetall") and also sounds a bit like the actual word...
Amazing as always. I was watching an Ausie motorcycle channel and the guy kept referring to aluminum sheet as just "alloy." It took me a while to figure it out, but he just always said "alloy," and it worked.
Using a router table, holding the workpiece in a clamp is a must and more critically important the smaller the piece is.
Even the hammer tone spray paint works good, I don't know why it's not more popular, it's durable. Great video Uri.
That's the best box I've ever seen. And I've seen some boxes.
On the Aluminium thing, as a chemist, I agree. It should be called "fool's chrome".
That control panel is amazing. Simple, functional and beautiful.
I need to do better with my own project.
Yes, I've found the hammered finish paint to be a real lifesaver when things aren't working out quite as expected. Perhaps the most entertaining of all paint, what with all the bubbling and fizzing after application. It works well in spray cans too.
Herr Tuchman, I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this build. Your voice-over is very humorous and very relatable.
I just had to subscribe.
I didn't realize you could be more entertaining than you had already been. The music and voice effects (reverb, etc.) had me chuckling the entire video.
