Gday, In the episode I get the gearbox finished and test the Boring and Facing head, I hope you enjoy the video, Cheers Matty... email - mattysworkshop76@gmail.com
Bang up job Matty, works like a charm. Nice testament to your skills and attention to details. Really enjoyed the whole series 👍👍 All the best….. Cheers…
This has been a wonderful build to watch Matty. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I can understand how thrilled you are with the result. Looking forward to seeing it in future projects. Take care mate. Cheers Nobby
Hi Matty, What can I say, your videos are fantastic at 80 years old I could not do that my hands now shake far too much. The way you explain your build and your calm voice rely make the show, thanks for sharing. Best regards Ken (in the UK.
Very nice end result 👍👍👍 Re the gearbox throwing the boring head out of balance: Don't forget that the tool holder assembly is also contributing to an out of balance condition (and to some extent the gearbox is acting as a counter weight for the tool holder assembly). Does not seem to be a problem as shown by the cut you made. 👍 All the best, Paul
Gday Kempy, I didn't feel any imbalance while I was using it, There was quite a few comments through the series that had concerns that it was going to be badly out of balance though, Thanks for watching and commenting mate, Cheers
Hi, Matty. Brilliant. Congrats on a marvelous build and I know you will find it useful on future jobs. I'm pretty sure you should be able to get your watchmaker certification from this job (grin). Again, kudos on a brilliant build. Cheers, mate.
Always a good day when you've rotated the gear blank a full turn and the cutter goes in the first gap without cutting! 32DP I presume judging from the figures you mentioned. A very nice build. Well done!
You nailed it. To think where you came from. To now it is very cool. Just shows that if you put your mind to something, you can do more than you think. GOD BLESS my friend
Hi Matt, Another great show, thanks very much. Sure beats the crap on TV these days. By the look of this project and the standard you have achieved, believe me when I say that you could get a job anywhere. It's very difficult these days to find people who could do anywhere near this kind of work. All you need to do now is to completely ignore all the negative comments on your channel. Water of a ducks back. Cheers
Gday, Thanks very much for the kind words, theres certanly many out there that have negative opinions mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers
Good morning Matty. Kudos to you buddy. A very complex and in-depth project and you knocked it out of the ball park. Very impressed and proud of you mate. Cheers 🍻 Aaron
Resurrection of a tool I first saw in Model Engineer about 60 years ago - and it dates from much earlier. Good ideas never die! As usual, Matty, your results are first class.
Really enjoyed this project Matty & now I understand what it actually does - it’s even more amazing. This one is a real credit to you, but also to the engineer who designed it to work that way. Going to be hard to top this one, that’s for sure. Inspirational. Thanks for the effort you put in with all the filming & editing & uploading as well. It would do my head in making a project like this without the added distraction of filming it all at the same time.
Gday Ian, The real credit is to Barry for doing a great job designing it, The plans were spot on the whole way through, It was a big learning curve for me and im glad I had a go, Filming definitely adds another challenge thats for sure, Thanks for watching, Cheers
As you were screwing the cover onto the gearbox, I was wondering if you might want to put a litle lube on those gears. Welp, you answered my question just as I was thinking it. Great minds think alike.😊 I've really enjoyed this build, thanks for your content.
Hello Matty. This has been a great project to follow. I've found it very interesting and enjoyable to watch. The new boring and facing head will be a valuable addition to the shop. Most importantly you're out in the shop and doing a bit. You have great machining skills. All the best. Mart.
That's going to be a really useful addition to the tool library. Looks pretty stable spinning away on your mill. I think my mill would walk it's way out of the workshop with that offset 😂. Gives me an idea though for a mod to a standard head. Thanks Matty 👍👍
Hi Matty! That is a scary idea that works. I am lucky enough to have a Wohlhaupter UPA3 which has roughly the same functionality as Yours. However, Your version can be done by everyone with a decent milling and turning equipment. Wohlhaupter can be really expensive even if it a used one and it is next to impossible to be made in a home workshop. Yours is affordable. It also makes a good exercise to learn machining. Having that shuriken spinning around is really scary so one has to keep hands and clothing away from it when it is operating. Thank You for a really clear presentation and in particular for the "why is this done this way" explanations.
Gday, It would be great to be able to get a Wohlhaupter but as you say there a mile out of the price range, building this is also a great exercise in precision and keeping tight tolerances, i'm only self taught so if I can build this then anyone can, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
This was a very enjoyable series Matty. You explained everything that needed explaining and showed what needed showing. I look forward to seeing in use Thanks!
Beauty, real rippa, well done. I am part way through building a Dore Facing head (1980's?) I bought the castings at a Club Auction in Melbourne. It won't be any where as good as that as there's no gear box and it has a round slide instead of a dovetail.

Awesome job Matty proof that your skill level has advanced out of sight. I wish I had thought to use a collet chuck in the rotary table like that before I gave my morse 3 one away when I sold my old mill I'll have to get another one now, did you use a drawbar in the back of it or no. My boring head has an auto feed function but I don't think it works in both directions, that one is certainly a nice design and a lot more versatile. Thanks for the video can't wait to see what you come up with for next weeks one.
Gday, I used a bolt and thick washer to make sure the collet arbor didn't move but I really think it didn't need it doing these gears but certainly didn't hurt having it there, being able to face off in both directions will be a handy feature I believe, Thanks for watching, Cheers
enjoyed the hole build from start to finish nice job of it and end result is as you say it works all ways good when a plan comes together and the end result is what is was designed to do the gear reduction works a treat thanks for showing the build Cheers
another excelent build Matty I picked up a couple of things on the way I have never tried making gears I think that will be my next course in machining Cheers
Matty, you amaze me mate! Honestly for an old truckie you're one heck of a great engineer, I've bloody loved watching you make this, thank you so much for sharing, and well done 👏
Wonderful job Matty. I really need to get out in my shop and start doing these things, instead of lying in bed with a coffee, watching you do them.😅
No time like the present mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Sent from CEE hope your doing great my wife just went through 5 week treatment 🙏 for you and the fam !
That was one hell of a project, with excellent results. I guess you wont have to dish out $5000+ for a Wohlhaupter.
Thanks very much Robert, Truly appreciate you watching and commenting mate, Cheers
That's going to be a handy tool!
Excellent build Matty!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Hopefully find a few uses for it mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
G'day Matty, thanks for the latest instalment on an interesting project.
Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy the episode
I would call that a win too. A very nice build series.
As for the inbalance, I don't see a problem. Your machine is very heavy.
Thanks Rustinox, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
That's going to be a really useful addition to the tool library. Looks pretty stable spinning away on your mill. I think my mill would walk it's way out of the workshop with that offset 😂. Gives me an idea though for a mod to a standard head. Thanks Matty 👍👍
Gday Olly, I noticed zero vibration in the mill, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
10 out of 10 mate 👌 came out brilliant 👍 great video thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks mate, I'll check the sticker out, Cheers
That is a great idea! It is beyond my capabilities though. Lol!
Gday, If I can build it mate anyone can, Cheers
Handy tool, well made.
Thanks for watching
Amazing Tool and Great Job on Your part 👏
Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
Good one . That thing looks like it just wants to either clobber you in the head or grab your hand & suck you into the machine ! Cheers 👍
thanks for watching Max
A p'fect Thursday with a video from Matty showing the finalization of the Boring & Facing Head - nice shop made tool - well done

Very nice ! I wish I had your talent.

Fantastic build Matty and, as always, great videos to enjoy and learn from. The boring head look amazing - you’ve done a cracking job on all counts.
Thanks very much mate, this was a big learning curve thats for sure, Appreciate you watching, Cheers
A bloody good build Mate.....I reckon if you had to buy one, you'd come out the shop one arm and leg less...
Id say you right there mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
Beauty, real rippa, well done. I am part way through building a Dore Facing head (1980's?) I bought the castings at a Club Auction in Melbourne. It won't be any where as good as that as there's no gear box and it has a round slide instead of a dovetail.

Awesome build Matty! Let me know when you are done with mine. 😁
Thanks, I'll let you know if I remember🤣, Thanks for watching
Awesome job Matty proof that your skill level has advanced out of sight. I wish I had thought to use a collet chuck in the rotary table like that before I gave my morse 3 one away when I sold my old mill I'll have to get another one now, did you use a drawbar in the back of it or no. My boring head has an auto feed function but I don't think it works in both directions, that one is certainly a nice design and a lot more versatile. Thanks for the video can't wait to see what you come up with for next weeks one.
Gday, I used a bolt and thick washer to make sure the collet arbor didn't move but I really think it didn't need it doing these gears but certainly didn't hurt having it there, being able to face off in both directions will be a handy feature I believe, Thanks for watching, Cheers
enjoyed the hole build from start to finish nice job of it and end result is as you say it works all ways good when a plan comes together and the end result is what is was designed to do the gear reduction works a treat thanks for showing the build Cheers
Gday, Im pleased to hear you enjoyed the series mate and I truly appreciate you watching, Cheers
Well done mate 👍
Thanks very much mate, Cheers
another excelent build Matty I picked up a couple of things on the way I have never tried making gears I think that will be my next course in machining
Cheers
Gday, Machining gears is a lot of fun mate, You'll enjoy it, Thanks for watching
Matty FTW. I may take a crack at making this when the plans are finished. Cheers
Fantastic, I really hope you have a crack at building tis, if I can do it you can to mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers
