Sorry, it was edited in a rush. The alternative was not to post this week as I'll not get the chance to edit any more till Sunday. I will take your comments on board and try to make part 2 move quicker.
Hi Robert. Condolences for the loss of your father. I recently lost my mother. So, my thoughts are with you 🙂. I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing the next instalment. Greetings from Amsterdam, Al. 👍🇳🇱
Hi Al, Thanks. It's not nice but inevitable, especially as he'd reached 89. Next part has been filmed but not edited yet. Takes me ages to edit,, something like about 5 hours for this one. I'm sure I'll get quicker one day😁
Ohhh god; the bandsaw. That brought back painful memories from only 2 months ago. I wanted 40mm riser feet for my lathe, mill and surface grinder. I have a 4.1/2 bandsaw and a 90mm dia section of scrap hydraulic cylinder chrome bar and need 13 feet. It took over a week on and off, 3 blades and 2 tins of cutting fluid. Each cut took well over an hour, with a new blade. Far, far longer without. Shuddering just thinking of the horror of it all. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the job though.
Condolences on the Loss of your father Robert. I lost mine in 1985 39 years ago and I still miss him and his influence. But it does get better with time. The first bandsaw cut was a bit long winded lol but yes I know what you were trying to convey........ 'god I want to get on with my project!'
Thanks. Funnily enough, editing it felt like it dragged on but I was pressed for time. Normally I watch through what I've done before posting but I ran out of time as we had to travel for the funeral.
Having lost a father, I feel for you. Thank you for machining this with the shaper. I've long wondered about running a shaper bit into a sharp corner, as you demonstrated here. I'm glad that you've chosen the shaper for this, instead of the milling machine!
Hi Marc, Thanks. Its much worse for my mother though. When I started machining this, I used the shaper in case the tool got blunted by the flame cut edge, as sharpening is easy. However, it was more interesting for me to attempt to do most of it with the shaper. There are bits I resorted to the mill though, as you'll see in part 2.
Great stuff, It's good to see the shaper being used! I don't know why there are so many complaints about the bandsaw footage, I find it works great to send me to sleep. Better than counting sheep. More bandsaw footage!!!
Hi Robert, condolences on the loss of your father, lost mine 2 months ago, last picture was of him in hospital intently watching your gear cutting on the shaper! He was most impressed! Another great how too on the shaper, Dads Amcco 7” is coming to my shop. Cheers Kerrin
Hi Kerrin, Condolences to you too. I'm going to miss being able to ask my Dad about gardening matters, about which he knew more than I do. It still surprises me who and how many people watch the videos I produce. You'll enjoy having his shaper in your shop. I don't use mine on every project, but there are some things that are so much easier with a shaper, like internal keyways, and its fun running it.
Sorry for your loss Robert. That’s a great idea to use the spindexer, I’ve been looking to buy a radius dresser for some time, I won’t need to now - thanks.
I can't disagree with you. Sorry, I had limited time to edit the video, so I didn't get chance to review it before posting. If you stick around for part 2, I promise to do better!
Did I just fast forward through the entire, real time bandsaw cut of a 4x1.5" hunk of metal? LOL, that's a no from me.

My condolences Robert.Excellent work.Thank you.
Thank you!
I might have overdone the footage of bandsawing though😳

Condolences at this difficult time.
I appreciated your video and look forward to seeing this project progress.
Thanks.
This is just a project to make another project possible, which is for another project... 😁

Thanks. Glad you like the spindexer idea!
Condolences Robert, Thoughts are with you
Thanks.
Suggestion, 'm not sure I really need to see every chip coming of the band saw!

I'll be there for round 2! You're work interests me !
