Pug Milling Attachment | Mechanical Build 1 of 2

- Pug milling attachment build. This is a motorised infeed for a pug mill.
My mum is a ceramic sculptor and mentioned it to me and the project sounded like fun, so here we are.
The clay pugging process prepares the clay for the next several projects, but the pugging process takes time due to the small infeed chute and the pressure required to operate.
This attachment will feature a large motorised infeed chute, and a reversible mixing gear.

It is good to see someone that makes mistakes and is honest enough to show the mistakes when you could have hidden the mistakes like so many others do!!
If a mistake offers a good learning opportunity I'll definitely show it!
Awesome. Very nice camera work.
Thank you! Testing out new lenses in this video. I have selective depth of field now 🤣
Craig's a bad influence, making me get more camera equipment ha ha
@@TomMakeHere Cà Lem made me do it 😂
@@TomMakeHere will add, try more, bright- lighter, video. some add illumination in workshop,workspace
Where has this little gem been hiding ! ? Just came across your channel and I just can’t stop watching. You are very inspiring my friend. And the editing and videography is great! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, I try think about what I'd like to watch and try to make the videos to that standard
Nice job. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week. Looking forward to the second part of the build.
Awesome! Thank you! Next part should be a few weeks
how fast it seems on video to make another gear due to a screw up is in no relation to how painful it actually is behind the camera in terms of time. much appreciate you showing also mistakes for others to learn... 👍mom will be very happy i suppose! 👌😂
Yeah 3rd time lucky it seems lol
Thanks for watching
Amazing what that little Hercus mill can do.
It would be nice to get something bridgeport sized though.
Handling the machines is my problem. A mobile gantry is definitely on the to do list
Hi Tom,
Good build, good videography, happy viewer... Could not ask for more....
Take care
Paul,,
Thanks, more to come 😁
Gday Tommy, you were having one of my days donating to the screw up bin, there’s no reason this design won’t work because it will work once you have done you magic with it, great video mate, Cheers Matty
Thanks Matty. and if it doesn't work I at least have the motor and gearbox to make a slow speed grinder for sharpening carbide I guess
@@TomMakeHere it really is a win win situation, what do you really need the most is the big question
Haha. Loved the 26 factorial gag.
😁
Thanks for watching!
I use Sutton drills as well but recently i set up what i call a tap caddy - just a block of wood with taps, dies , tapping drills and tap and die handles mounted in it and i had to buy a few of the correct drills for it . I ordered Sutton and a few days later they arrived at my tool supplier .When i got them home i was looking at them - can’t repeat on here what came out of my mouth when i read on a couple of the packets MADE IN CHINA 😭
I know Sutton make drills in Australia and NZ but the bastards are now getting them out of China and still charging the same as an Australian or NZ item 😡
Not saying there is anything wrong with the drills - it just annoys me when that happens !
😮 Cheers I'll look a bit more closely for that
I've boycotted buying chinese where possible for various reasons
I try to buy from Aussie companies especially when I know it is made here too
Great you bought expensive Chineseium drill bits. You think you are buying locally and all get screwed.
Nice videos i am very enjoy with your video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 well done for you
Thank you very much!
Great build. Great editing.
Thank you! Cheers!
I've always maintained that 2 set screws should be 120 degrees apart (so that there are 2 points and a line of contact equally spaced around the periphery). Thanks for agreeing !
I see 90 quite often, which I guess is pretty close so doesn't matter, but 120 makes logical sense to me
Great video Tom. The design is coming together, looking forward to seeing it completed. Love the video work - shallow depth of field, editing, etc. Learning something new with each video I watch. Cheers, Craig
😁
Gear cutting is usually the slowest process so it makes sense to cut as many gears as possible in one setup. That way when one makes a cockup it writes off the most possible time!
Or a good chance to make them all and then realise your arbour wasn't centred!
I always check every gear after making it as there is a lot of potential to screw things up. This is actually the first project where I've had indexing issues (and twice lol), normally it is a tooth alignment problem for me
Top job, thanks for showing...that was a lot of work.
Thank you, more to come!
Very nice. I love horizontal milling, so cool to see someone use it!
Yes, it is very handy having the horizontal option for odd workholding
I don't think I'd ever get a mill that isn't a universal mill
Long may we scavenge. Aye men. Thanks for the video. :)
😂 Thanks for watching
Brilliant and entertaining as well as informative - Cheers Pete
Thank you
I'm glad you liked it 😁
Top! Excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very interesting build, looking forward to future videos.
Thanks Steven, I just hope it all works ha ha
You can tig weld the end of the bushing to the shaft without much distortion or make the bush oversize, weld, then machine to size.
Yeah good point, I might do that as I also need to cut a keyway, it might not hold if I slot through the bushing
Seems we share scavange gods. Great video Tom, nailed it.
I must piss them off a lot, they always seem to demand a sacrifice 🤣
May the scrap gods be merciful....
Ha ha 😁
Fantastic work and video. Your mums sculptures are amazing :o
Cheers mate
I'll pass the message along 😀
Any special reason you didn't centre spot both ends of the arbour, and turn it between centres?
Seems the natural (if old fashioned) way to work a gear.
My lathe and dividing head conveniently have the same thread for a screw on chuck. I just move it from one machine to the next.
I've checked in the past and there is almost no runout
Otherwise, you are right, between centres would be the normal way
Love your stuff Tom, i work with ceramic and borosilicate glass as an artist, hope to be sending you something in the mail from Colorado USA! Thanks for the vid!
Could be the next project? 😁
I seem to give a lot of offerings to the scrap gods too!
They really are demanding gods aren't they? 😁
Great project man...did you draw the plans or do it on a computer ?
Yeah all on the computer. I tend to use solidworks for mechanical stuff these days, probably overkill given the way I use it. But anyway
Great work in front of and behind your camera. I'd be interested to see a behind the scenes on your video techniques.
You are in luck, I'm planning a making of / behind the scenes for my 'cinematic rotary broach' video within the next month or so
Thanks for the comment, its been a big focus of mine recently
Glad you explained things... I was wondering how you would mill a small dog without upsetting the RSPCA 😁
the staffie mill is next, it has some bite
🤣 Just don't get any ideas about my currawong
We'll see, he's been giving me the evil eye
You should see him when I try to give him apple or anything healthy 👿
Good tip on buying drill bits. So many sizes in a full set that you never use...
Same with taps, I see people buying the 50 piece tap sets for $20, and they have nothing but problems (I was guilty of doing this in the beginning)
26 factorial? Are you sure you have the right gear cutter installed?
Yeah probably need the 135+ tooth cutter for that amount 🤣
When your mum says your hard work isn't good enough. 🥺 Oh yeah, watch this. 😎
I'm glad I took the time to check early into the project! 🤣
Re your mothers intervention, Designers first rule, before you can solve a problem fully you have to fully understand the problem.
Should be a good build, looking forward to the finished problem, sorry, finished product.😉
Ha ha. I had a wise crack joke about getting a less fussy client, I decided to cut it out 😁
Yes hopefully I can solve the 5 other problems that arise from this build too!
@@TomMakeHere probably best not to upset the client, she knows too many secrets.😤
