If you'd told me a year ago that artisan machining videos with acapella soundtracks and pixel-art diagrams was something I needed in my life... I probably would've agreed, actually. You are a gift to us all
Hear, hear! There's something soothing and "everything is right with the world" affirming about watching such competence. Add to that his self-effacing quirkiness, and 19th century aesthetic, and he is a deeply endearing creator, and a real joy to watch. I am ever so grateful that the UA-cam algorithm found this man for me.
Yeah, nobody really needs wrenches for anything. They're basically useless, but Big Wrench has everyone convinced that a wrenchless society is impossible. And so the earth continues to be strip mined by corporations searching for wrench deposits that they can track open and pump out the sweet, expensive delicious wrench fluids, which are subsequently processed in refineries which spew toxic gases into the atmosphere, just so people can put that wrench into their gas tank (petrol cubby for you Europeans) and drive a much needed truck filled with plastic army action figures to a toy store. I swear, a society without wrenches would value transportation much more, and nobody would be buying or selling Nickelodeon Gak for $4.99 just so a Chinese factory worker can earn 6 cents an hour while inhaling toxic Gak fumes.
Hey everyone, this video is a re-uploaded version. The previous version had some audio issues that I hope are resolved in this one 😅. I Apologize for all the lovely comments on the earlier version, feel free to rewrite them 😊.
Sometimes, you're just messing around on YT mindlessly watching random videos. Then, other times, you discover a channel that resonates with you in such a way that 6 hours have passed without you realizing it. This... is one of those channels.
Artist, entertainer, artisan, creative, visionary, fabricator and many more all rolled into one. Thank you so much for sharing your highs and lows in a way that makes me awestruck. Such a unique person and craftsman.
speaking from experience owning a steve lindsay classic foot control, his is extremely refined and very smooth, not nearly as loud and can go from hogging out deep 1/8 inch chips of metal to tiny less than hair thin lines. Its a flawless tool if there ever was one. Nice job making your own! try making the piston from hardened steel, make a steel handle instead of wood (softens the stroke because of extra mass) and add a regulator to adjust the psi which will affect the cut depth along with the stroke length of the tools collar. If you ever get the chance to try a lindsay hand piece it will blow your mind!
Video production is amazing, just seeing how you developed it makes me happy! The original soundtrack, sound effect, the pixel art, it just makes the video an experience. Love it! Every video is an art piece that shows art haha
Hi Uri. I also made an air graver a few years ago. In case you’re interested… First, I made the back and forth version powered by a modified little air tyre compressor. This was a waste of time. Next, I made a basic version of the Lindsay engraver. The same piston arrangement but without the pressure on/off handle. It functioned… kind of. I guess you saw videos of Lindsay engravers shredding steel like a plough through dirt. Yeah we’ll mine was lame. It vibrated and did the thing it was supposed to do, but I’m not sure that it did it much better than if I was just pushing by hand. I tried heavier pistons, enlarging holes, more/less air but it never worked well. I think the valves have to be just right, so that the piston smacks the end of the graver at maximum velocity, before the upwards air has any effect. I found it hard to get that to work without stalling the piston. Anyway, I couldn’t easily get it to work well, so I gave up.
Could be how you sharpened the bits? Like, too steep or shallow a point, not sharp enough, or even the wrong steele? These all effect the performance of any cutting tool.
Hey, yes, I didnt show it in the video, to not bore the viewers, but I've tried a few other piston designs but the first one seemed to be the best from all of them. I agree, it seems to be very sensitive to every little change, and the design needs to be just perfect to function properly. It's funny, I've just been watched a whole bunch of your videos as I just purchased a new old Myford lathe that I wish to restore. I really enjoy your channel!
I completely understand your conclusion. You want to create art, not noise pollution. I feel the same way. That's like going to a remote campsite to relax and hear nature sounds and people nearby are running generators for their glamping. Your vocalizations are just amazing!
Oh, and your collets need 2 o-ring grooves. That will make them more stable in the barrel of the tool, and will keep them from wobbling around, which they will do if your pieces aren't heat treated. The pieces will wear quick, and start wobbling. If you want to keep it from shooting the collets out, you need thicker orings for a tight fit in the barrel.
Useful notes: a) Steve Lindsay gets _very_ grumpy about other people building dual-action pneumatic engraving handpieces. b) Steve Lindsay's early patents (US6095256A, US6508315B1, US6488102B2, US6530435B1) have expired. c) It is absolutely legal to make use of technology described in expired patents - it's the entire point of the patent system. There are some very useful nuggets of information in these patents if you can get your head around the strange language of Patentese. Also, the background music in this video is epic.
thank you for this little tidbit super useful. Steve Lindsay seems to think he owns the hand engraving field and to participate you have to go through him and that just irks the shit out of me.
Uri makes watching anything he does a Zen pleasure. Even know the graver what not a 100 percent perfect,it was still so pleasing do watch you work, my friend.
I do believe that Uri is the Millennial version of the Renaissance Man! A logical man. A man who solves problems. Both a dreamer and a man of wisdom. A scientist and a joker! You never know what will transpire on his next appearance. Well done, sir!!!
The lathe has always held a magical fascination for me, even as a little kid. I do get occasional chance to work on the lathe at my job as a bench jeweler (I work for a custom ring design company in Tucson). I’m contemplating buying a lathe for my home studio, just have to find the space (or add another room to my shop, which I desperately need). I really appreciate your process videos! Nothing better than watching someone working at their craft, with joy and humor IMHO. I’m also one to chat along with my work, adding dialogue and sound effects. It’s wonderful to discover other artists with similar humors- thanks for sharing your effervescence and craftsmanship- now, I’m headed to my shop! Ciao- MBZ
Your shenanigans are what earned my subscription years ago. Never skipping that. I think you should redo the handle in wood and make it bird shaped with the chisel part its beak.
Assuming I understand how the tool works, you might consider making your stop bushings out of nylon instead of brass, it may reduce the noise of the tool. But great video as always 👍
just started watching....why would I willingly skip the Tuchman shenanigans??....ever....(added this after watching the first upload and will happily watch it again...with better audio)
I'm so glad you leave in all the singing and "oh my gawd, Holy crap, idiot and pheewws". It really makes us feel like we are there because we know how many swears, songs and lamentations are required to complete any worthwhile project. Edit: The Spaghetti western soundtrack was incredible. You managed to take that wierd vibratory humming thing we all discovered as kids and use it for something beautiful.
Why would I skip the shenanigans?!? Those are my favourite parts! Except the rest of the video of course! Fantastic video Uri! I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you creativity, ingenuity, or humour. Inspiring, educational, and entertaining to the max! And the soundtrack is exceptional, as always!
Uri I love your sense of humor and everything you make with your hands✨😎👍🏻✨😌Last winter I attempted an engraver yours is a thousand times better than mine🤝
I've never seen anyone other than clickspring use hand tools to turn metal on a lathe. That is seriously amazing. You have earned my sub and I shall spend the entire weekend binge watching all of your videos
Your talents are not only amazing but have no limits, you can build anything you need or want. It’s been awhile glad to see you back Uri your videos are still top shelf. Thank you
hacksawing , its an art, picking bits up from the floor , made some copper rivets for a pirates chest recently and this video reminded me of picking the rivets up .
Yea I could see that. It's vibrating in your hand and making a lot noise, so it'd be hard to concentrate. It still looks pretty awesome though. Great video Uri!
I decided today to leave a positive comment on YT everyday for one creator. Today is yours. You're an insanely creative and multitalented artist, keep up the good work my good friend.
Run a second air line from your exhaust- and into a container filled with soap solution so you can make giant clouds of bubbles to fill the air and restore your zen.
I'm glad to see others have suggestions for potential improvement on the noise or smooth operation and reduced vibration, as I am not qualified to offer any myself. All I kept thinking was how you might damage your nerves if this thing vibrates too strongly, or you use it for too long or too frequently. 😱 But I loved the shenanigans and the soundtrack and the art just as much as watching you make the graver, so thank you!
Thank you Uri!!! These videos always bring me such joy!!! Innovative, artistic and hilarious! Please don’t ever stop making content! Love the beautiful burl handle!
Just got my green pigeon hat this past week and I love it more than most other things now. Already had a compliment about it on public transit from someone with far superior fashion sense.
If you want something inaudible, one could go for an ultrasonic piezoelectric version using an 40kHz piezoelectric transducer like one might use to create an ultrasonic cleaner. That said, earplugs and muffs are required and one must pad the handle and not touch the business end. Though nothing should cut smoother, it is hitting the metal 40k times per second. Nice pixel art, reminds me of powder game...
I used to have a tiny little die grinder, same 1/8 inch bits as a Dremel tool but the handpiece was maybe 20mm diameter. The exhaust was really loud, but it was reduced tremendously by a simple corrugated plastic tube that directed it away from the user. I think it was there more to keep the oil in the exhaust from ending up all over your work but it definitely helped with the sound too. Might be an easy way to make your tiny jackhammer nicer to use.
I have pretty much the same setup you put at the beggining of the video. A cheapo chinese hand piece and a modified airbrush compressor. There's two key things in order to make it work. First is to put the spring on the hand side, since this stuff comes reversed for no reason. The spring on the front end will prevent the piston from hitting the anvil inside. The second thing is to shorten the piston and reduce it's mass. I took off one ring of metal from the piston and it cuts silver well enough now. At least for me. I make my own gravers with tool steel and for softer metals like silver, gold, copper... The thingamabob does pretty much OK. I can cut acanthus, do stippling and some stone setting. Cheers from Spain!
Thank you thank you thank you soooo much for this comment. I built one of these also and had already swapped the spring around but was having tons of issues with it stalling. I cut the piston down like you suggested and now it runs like a beast. Seriously you saved me a ton of money and time I really appreciate it.
@@tanimator87 You're welcome buddy. Have fun. You can cut more of the piston if you want to experiment. Less mass will make it run smoother but also is less energy hitting the anvil. However the piston has more room to gain momentum, so it's a balance.
Hey Uri, you might try some thin rubber sheet inside on either side of the piston. Lots of air cylinders have bumpers like that in them to help cushion the impact and make them quieter.
@UriTuchman one thing you could to to adjust the sound is change the geometry of the exit hole where the air leaves. Softening the edges could remove some of the harshness.
Skip the shenanigans? No! I'm here for the shenanigans. My guess is most of your subscribers are here for your personality. Who's here just to learn how to make a saw with a hand shaped handle, or a chicken leg dagger or... etc? I'm here for your crazy ideas, your craftsmanship and your invigorating personality. Thanks, Uri. Toda.
You're asking what we think of the result. Let me say that; you respect your work, know how to handle it and definetely you love to create new stuff. I love to watch your works. I am an ex-firearms examiner from Turkey and an ex sharp shhoters' trainer. I always admired those who invented guns and also gunsmiths. That is literally what you are. If you lived in the past; John Moses Browning or Samuel Colt would have a very dangerous opponent =)
I made something like this ages ago as a theatrical prop: the working gas was a butane/oxygen mixture that was vented into a spark-igniter. The pulsing gas made a series of loud pops and flashes...machine gun replica without ammo!
If you'd told me a year ago that artisan machining videos with acapella soundtracks and pixel-art diagrams was something I needed in my life... I probably would've agreed, actually. You are a gift to us all
Have you met this old tony yet? If not, boy howdy you're in for a treat!

Skipping Uri Tuchman Shenanigans in a Uri Tuchman video is unheard of and unthinkable
Not to worry, I skipped shenanigans, and still seen plenty of shenanigans.
Nice to see the only use-case for the wrench.
When are you going to rescue your work bench?
Is there a build video for the brass wrench? I've seen the metal build, but brass chips from a mill are very satisfying to watch.
I knew it!
@@curm1778 LOL.
Yeah, nobody really needs wrenches for anything. They're basically useless, but Big Wrench has everyone convinced that a wrenchless society is impossible.
And so the earth continues to be strip mined by corporations searching for wrench deposits that they can track open and pump out the sweet, expensive delicious wrench fluids, which are subsequently processed in refineries which spew toxic gases into the atmosphere, just so people can put that wrench into their gas tank (petrol cubby for you Europeans) and drive a much needed truck filled with plastic army action figures to a toy store.

I love how not only does Uri make his own tools, but he makes his own sound affects and music too.
I love it.
Bet he still gets Copyright claims.
I hate it.
It was fricken annoying. I used to enjoy his videos too.

Uri : Go to 2:44 to skip all the shenanigans.
Me : Please. I am here to watch your shenanigans!

I love all the shenanigans I will never skip.
The animations reminded me of early 90s gaming, good memories.
Making a finer air graver when you had never used one,,, is next level understanding. You are brilliant, old and new school and timeless all in one.❤
Love the pixel art infography you did there ! Keep up with your work, it's amazing

I love where this channel has gone over the years. Especially the custom soundtracks and pixel art graphics. Those were amazing.
Uri Tuchman is now the European Bobby McFerrin. Loved the little sound bites during the lathe scenes.
hacksawing , its an art, picking bits up from the floor , made some copper rivets for a pirates chest recently and this video reminded me of picking the rivets up .
Yea I could see that. It's vibrating in your hand and making a lot noise, so it'd be hard to concentrate. It still looks pretty awesome though. Great video Uri!
I love how Uri is like if you sent a magic laptop into the past to a Renaissance craftsman and he could only watch Monty Python.
I decided today to leave a positive comment on YT everyday for one creator. Today is yours. You're an insanely creative and multitalented artist, keep up the good work my good friend.
Run a second air line from your exhaust- and into a container filled with soap solution so you can make giant clouds of bubbles to fill the air and restore your zen.
You are hands down my favorite modern times artist
Same
The shenanigans are like 70% of the reason I'm here but I appreciate the note at the beginning
I'm glad to see others have suggestions for potential improvement on the noise or smooth operation and reduced vibration, as I am not qualified to offer any myself. All I kept thinking was how you might damage your nerves if this thing vibrates too strongly, or you use it for too long or too frequently. 😱
But I loved the shenanigans and the soundtrack and the art just as much as watching you make the graver, so thank you!
I love it. As a machinist I have always wanted to try engraving but now I want to make this first lol.
Congratulation! To build this with your "simple" machines! its a challence! better than me with my 2 tons milling and turning devices!!!
Thank you Uri!!! These videos always bring me such joy!!! Innovative, artistic and hilarious! Please don’t ever stop making content! Love the beautiful burl handle!
Just got my green pigeon hat this past week and I love it more than most other things now. Already had a compliment about it on public transit from someone with far superior fashion sense.
Awe.... That's just the cutest little lathe and mill I ever did see, and the tiny mill vice, OMG it's so adorable. 😍
😂🤣
AmaZing! i found it really funny you succumbed to the acquisition of a new air compressor
If you want something inaudible, one could go for an ultrasonic piezoelectric version using an 40kHz piezoelectric transducer like one might use to create an ultrasonic cleaner. That said, earplugs and muffs are required and one must pad the handle and not touch the business end. Though nothing should cut smoother, it is hitting the metal 40k times per second.
Nice pixel art, reminds me of powder game...
I used to have a tiny little die grinder, same 1/8 inch bits as a Dremel tool but the handpiece was maybe 20mm diameter. The exhaust was really loud, but it was reduced tremendously by a simple corrugated plastic tube that directed it away from the user. I think it was there more to keep the oil in the exhaust from ending up all over your work but it definitely helped with the sound too. Might be an easy way to make your tiny jackhammer nicer to use.
You are a variety show of a craftsman, I love it.
Man i love the screen decending and pointing what is made
I absolutely adore your videos, from watching a master at work to the quirky humor you employ it is out of this world
i really love the pixel art in this video! it's beautiful!
I really appreciate your monitor dropping down displaying the part you're working on. Uri is a top notch fella.
Very cool. I love your custom sound tracks and the shenanigans. I wonder how the tool would perform with a heavier piston or a longer stroke?
Always something new with Uri! The new air chisel thingy shenaningan operating sounded like farts which made me laugh :D
@@pistool1 Yes! I didn't want to be the one to say it, but we all knew.
Yes, I tried several other pistons, but the first one seemed to be the best.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say how amazing the sound design is in your videos. It's unique, quirky, delightful, and appropriate. 😊
Uri = flawless content. Love this channel.
Notable song Uri. One nice device more made by you. Congratulations for your great and fun work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🖤
Wasnt so sure about the soundtrack at first but now you got me humming it and I cant get it out of my head! You do good work sir🕉

Loved the video. Always a pleasure to watch your unique style- and now unique tunes!
@UriTuchman one thing you could to to adjust the sound is change the geometry of the exit hole where the air leaves. Softening the edges could remove some of the harshness.

I am an ex-firearms examiner from Turkey and an ex sharp shhoters' trainer. I always admired those who invented guns and also gunsmiths. That is literally what you are. If you lived in the past; John Moses Browning or Samuel Colt would have a very dangerous opponent =)
Your shenanigans are the best part, Uri :)
Edit; this is one of the best making channels on yt, so unique, love it it bits
I made something like this ages ago as a theatrical prop: the working gas was a butane/oxygen mixture that was vented into a spark-igniter.
The pulsing gas made a series of loud pops and flashes...machine gun replica without ammo!
An Uri video always make me happy - great vocals, BTW! ✌🏻🎨☕️
