***Need a tool.... make a tool***
I find building my own tools to be much more satisfying than just buying tools... and better quality too.
Love seeing people think outside the box... and building their own tools.
Great job, Tim.... can't wait to see the future updates on the surface grinder.
Thank you sir, and thanks for watching.
love your Pitbull
Great work. Love the video
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video. I am starting to gather equipment and parts to build my own surface grinder as well. Learned a lot here.
What a cool video and end product. I don't usually watch the forging channels, but your narration and end product were really wonderful. Thanks for the fun video.
Tim Many thanks I've been beating my few brain cell up trying to figure out what you have just done. you are the bomb
Thanks Tom and thanks for watching.
Very ingenuative Love it, shows necasity is the mother of invention ( sorry can't spell too good )
Nice idea and construction. If it needs more weight, you could even pour the rubbery compound inside of it to give it more flywheel like weight. Thumbs Up!
Well you done did it again sir! I have been looking forward to this build and can’t wait to see it completed!
Thanks Marc I think it will be a real time saver.
Thanks for watching my friend
Thank you very good work
this is nice. some people would glue wheel barrow wheels together no doubt
what is the failure mode if that weld fails though?
The stuff you make from scratch is impressive. I am always amazed
Very impressive.
Thank you sir. And thanks for watching.
Jack of all trades, great job man.
fantastic job. I made a hub in similar fashion using aluminum but turned the surface with a course finish as to lock the urethane. I believe the urethane sticks to metal with incredible strength as I found out with a couple of tests.
If it helps make it better......how about turnings shallow grooves on the cylinder outer side and/or add a few shallow holes.....may help grip the polymer better to the wheel !!
What a great idea Tim cant wait to see it work
Awesome tool making!
Your ingenuity is amazing!!! I can't wait to see the rest of the build.
You are one smart guy, a man after my own inventive mind and skills.🇦🇺🛠🔭🎹🔬👍
nice job Tim
Great! Love your problem solving train of thought. Aloha God bless you and your family
Nice job. I make knives by hand at the moment. Bevels turn out ok but belt grinder would be nice. I work at a company producing the adhesive to bond urethane to steel for rollers like this, wheels etc.. if you have any problems over time consider giving the steel a mechanical key and applying a bonding agent 👍🏻
Those are some nice spit-shined boots you are wearing! 😁
Thank you This is very interesting watching thank you
I must say that is just awesome.
Tim, excellent video, thank you so much for sharing. I feel like a better blacksmith already ( although Im an accountant)..
Great stuff Tim!!! 👍💪👏😁
Great job Tim. The contact wheel looks amazing. You got skills, my friend.
That's awesome. Great idea and job
I’m seriously impressed. Subscribed!
Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me Tim! God bless you sir and thank you for the upload :-)
That was excellent!
That’s great! Love it.
I wish this guy was my dad...
Nice looking wheel, I thought knurling on the out side of the metal wheel to give the rubber better bond to the metal,
How as the rubber held up so far?
Very frigid cool brother!! Sunray corporation will custom build contact wheels for a decent price. I ordered a 2x6 and a 2x8 and i think i paid around 180 for both. They will make any size you ask for. But I like your way i may have to order some urethane, thanks for the great video!
pretty cool idea man, thanks for posting
Great work AGAIN lol. Lovin you vids.
So freakin' cool!
Thanks Ernest.
Phenomenal you are a Wizzzard
Pretty spiffy there Tim!!! Playing devil's advocate, I hope the surface of the pipe in contact with the urethane is "rough" enough to hold it. Not that I think it would come loose, given that you could pour it and the surface area of the pipe being relatively substantial. Murphy might come calling!!
Nice! Now I need a metal lathe :)
great job on the contact wheel,possible earner for you ,start manufacturing sir
Класс!
Very interesting. Thank you.
A question: how durable do you think that polyurethane layer would be if a series of two or more drums were used to make a toothless 'gears'-train? If, for example,, there was a 300mm diameter spinning in contact with a 100mm to give a 3:1 stepdown ratio? It would obviously work, but how long do you think it would it last, both the surfaces on the two drums and the bonds with the metal?
No lathe no contact wheel. That's part of the reason I still do my grinding the hard way. Parts are to expensive!!!!
You said it man, some of these parts prices are ridicules.
Thanks for watching and take care my friend.
Paul Salb do u have a scrape yard near u that buys anything recyclable ? Go an check it out daily cause u would be amazed at what u can find
Rubbing alcohol breaks the adhesion of hot glue
Why didnt you just forged the knife thinner? I mean, if I were you, I wouldn´t have bothered with building a suface grinder first, I would just take the time to forge it closer to the desired thickness.
Grinding brings out the pattern.
Nice work on the video and the part! Any concerns with the bond coming loose?
If heat-resistance is what you're after, and you should be, frankly, you could maybe try some silicone. It's a hell of alot more resistant than urethane.

@@TheJohnson47 English... Do you speak it?
You got subscribe from me... Malaysia
Nice project.could you please tell me the hardness of the rubber? (Shore number) . The link is not working. Thanks!
Let me check
I've been casting PVC wheels and machining since 1969.
That is awesome!
It's not often that I'm moved to comment on anything but you sir are a hell of a craftsman. Calm concise narration with the key tips to each step. Well done. Thank you. I'm making my own wheels now.
Is there anything that you can't make? You amaze me with your talents
Nice work, how's the casting resin holding up under use?
It's good
Very nice Tim, I,m glad you shared the part of freezing the unit before milling it on the lathe. Thank you
Me too
Great work on the wheel, what's the shore number on that urethane?
great job. i'm making some grinds like Jeremy Schmidt. making contact wheels would help ($) thanks
Thanks for the video Tim. A true inspiration to all of us who are compelled to get our hands dirty. I'm building a new woodworking/metal working shop next year. I can hardly wait to be working/creating in a shop with heat. Here in Ontario, Canada we get two seasons; Winter and July. Liked and subscribed and I'll work my way through the surface grinder build videos. Work safe.
Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me Tim. Nice job! That looks like a factory piece!
Thank you so much. And thanks for watching.
I was thinking about doing the same thing and was wondering if it would work. After I come across your video my question was answered. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. P.S. I subscribed
very cool build now I havce to see the rest of the build ....you can still cat Tough-cast 65d too just the link takes you to the U'S website but not directly to the product.
Thanks for sharing this its exactly what I have been looking for but I need to get it to the UK now lol
thanks for sharing :)
what kinda lathe ya running?
love the old iron, rcently restored a old SB 11.
thanks for sharing the castable link
and impressive cobble of that wheel!
Gidday from down under. Mate I’d love to know what the polyurethane product was that you used. The link doesn’t seem to work anymore. I’d imagine it’s not a standard product? TAI.
LIKE COMM SUBBED
That's how you save yourself $230. Looks great!
Thanks for watching my friend and take care.
Very neat Tim. Check fireball tools UA-cam, he used gokart wheels with slick tire for his build, very cheap and worked great.
You waste to much of good steel .I pounded spring from a Studebacker down for 3 ulu knifes .It was such a chore on my little anvil but none wasted.You had you press flying as you worked the hard ass steel.Then cut it at 3 times the knife thickness you could had 3 more knifes.
But most of the time your work amazes me .
Thank you Sir for this video.
Impressive. I have a Burr King 2"x72" belt grinder and I wanted to replace my rubber contact wheels, on my knife makers attachment, until I saw the prices. Contact wheels are ridiculously priced given the materials that make up one.
This is genius
Un máster.
New sub here.....
KInda like me ole brother in law says..... You got to be smarter than your problem....
Tim, you have a unique talent for tool making. Great video.
Thanks Brett and thanks for watching.
is your contact wheel still hanging together, i finally built a decent 2x72 and want to make one, any seperation between the wheel and cast rubber after some use
have you though about balancing it like you would do with a grinder wheel or lawnmower blade find the high spot and drill little into it? or add weights? it may not matter was just wondering
Wow very nice wheel did you really just eye ball it? Very good looking wheel and the test at the end i think you got something quality.
That’s great Tim, wish I had your knowledge, oh yeh, and an engineers lathe!
Awesome stuff thanks Tim
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice Job Ranger! Looking forward to seeing the surface grinder. Carry-On
Could you share the name of glue (rubber material) plz?
Wow looks really good. Looks like something you would pick up from the hardware store.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I wish I had the confidence you do with a cut off wheel. Those things terrify me.
Dear sir big dog do you can create damascuss sword from scrap? Thanks
I'm scared of that beast already. Lol That you Tim⚒On!!!
Thanks Ben.
Thanks for watching and take care my friend.
Just like Wiley Coyote.... Genius
what is the actual name and or manufacture name of you switching magnet?
Good stuff! Now how many people are gonna ask you build them a surface grinder? Hell! I'll take one. lol
Very impressive, subscribed and a thump up.
you grounded through the chuck!?! Yikes.
don't know why I just watched this but it was sick haha
Great what rubber liquid you used
12 people must own stores that sell those hubs.
Man I’ve been wanting to do this for years, I even emailed Smooth On to see if they had a type of rubber that would work but they said they didn’t. Thanks.
Hi shane, I checked out Smooth On and didn't have much luck.
Check out the link I left in the description, the folks at specialty Resin
Are very helpful. Take care and thanks for watching.
@@BIGDOGFORGE, man that's excellent if it works. I've been trying to figure out something that would work.
Man thanks for sharing and having us over.
Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
Excellent! If you want more subs, feel free to embed your video on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :-)
Excellent video. I really need a wide belt grinder wheel and it's likely to be much more expensive here in NZ than in the USA. One little point. You keep referring to a belt grinder as a surface grinder. A surface grinder is a totally different machine, much more precise and much more expensive.
Actually, the S&H fees are exactly the same to NZ as to the US. I just posted some prices as a comment to this video.
And yes, you are correct about the surface/belt grinder definition.
How much would it cost to have you make a wheel like that for me?
Man that's awesome. Great job and thanks for sharing
Thanks.
Glass grinders use 4 inch pulleys
