    Mattys workshop. An old Aussie lad who machines in his shed, very down to earth, unfortunately battling ‘rust’ at the moment but still turning and filming.

    Strange to see a moldboard plow in action. I haven't ever seen one in serious use here outside of a demo at a tractor show. When they were used it was in the spring. Now 90% of my area is no-till.

      Mostly because most of europe mainly does winter crops, so you need to remove the remaining straw etc because theres only 2-3 months before seeding again, not the whole winter

    Great videos mate. Lovely to hear a proper British accent from up Narth. I use furniture wax on any bare surfaces in my shop. I’ve got exactly the same problem. Obviously you can’t use it everywhere, but it helps. The other trick is to throw an oily rag on it when it’s not in use. Keep up the great work mate.

    Fitting a DRO to older machines really makes it so much easier to know where the tool is. Topper Machine LLC in Wisconsin USA has fitted DROs to several of his old machines. He keeps buying old machines for his workshop because of how reliable they are. Another very interesting channel. He also has a shop built sawmill (a big one) and he keeps bees as well and also does railroad work occasionally.

    Great job 👍, keeping the Magnetic base as an option was a good move. Just need a job for the line borer / welder now. *Matty's Workshop* is an Aussie and recently was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Kurtis at CEE started a go-fund page to help him and his family bear the costs. Unfortunately Australia's healthcare still requires patient payments for some treatments. He is a great guy and he is mostly old school. Thanks for the post, really appreciated, it is Snowball Sunday, best day of the week 👍 Take care, be well.

    Hi, if you place the mag base on a sheet of cardboard it lowers the friction between the base and the table whilst positioning. By moving the cardboard you gain a mechanical advantage as you are moving the magbase at the work surface level. Sorry, hung over and failing to describe things well:)

    To keep enough shielding gas inside the hole maybe you can place a simple collar on top of the hole, for tight jobs maybe you can made a hinged split collar with a spring that keeps it closed so you can easily place it once the welder has raised a bit. Coogle for pictures of a "squeeze tri-clamp" to better understand what I mean, just ignore the locking feature.
