I thought the same especially with all the hand filing and sanding. I was surprised to see the power sander come out for the wood sides. He's pretty old school but refreshing to see.

Can we not just start a thread listing the names all these high production value makers and promote them among-st ourselves? I think those type of videos are mesmerizing but I don't have time to go down the Youtube rabbit hole. I wouldn't have found Frank Howarth if not for GJ.

I'm sure that as a collective we could simplify the search for channels that relate to our common interests.

I thought maybe this was a tiny shop watching him jig saw the aluminum and then clogged up his files with it. Then he starts cutting wood on a bandsaw that would have saved loads of time on the aluminum. Dunno about this, didn't make it to see that he had a power sander.

Gee, I dunno.

I'd tend to think that the guy that owns the forum and pays the bills to run the forum that just about anybody in the free world can enjoy has the right to start threads about stuff he finds interesting and want to share.

However, I could be wrong.

:dunno:

Great channel. Share more of these small ones, Ryan!

Have you seen Clickspring? Chris does an amazing job with his machining.

The double negatives make it start off sounding like a complaint but I think all he's saying is "why don't we start a thread featuring cool videos like this so they're easy to find"

Are there extra points for making a simple project more difficult? I hope he is enjoying his shop time. The final finish is well done.
I will not be subscribing.

It has been brought to my attention that my reply might be less than positive. I am not in a position to be critical of the amount of time any person puts into getting something "right". After all I have between 3500 - 4000 hours in detailed machining of parts, body work and paint for my 1940 Ford.
Many of these bits and pieces will never be seen by anyone, but it was important to me to make "it" look as good as I wanted it to work. So, I do "get it".

Well produced video and clearly he's approaching it as an art project, but as someone who works metal all day, his methods make me twitch. Pretty much every technique he uses could be improved by watching some machining videos.

I think he’s a woodworker... that took a liking to aluminum plate.

Great video. These videos put me in a trance. :)
This fellow might consider transferring over to knife making, he would probably find a bigger audience and his knives would be excellent!

That's the guy that used to go by the handle on oldnewby on case modding forums. That PC he shows in his shop video is all hand crafted aluminum with West Australian Jarrah wooden panels that open in a gull wing design. He hand filed the whole thing...every part. If you can find a worklog that the photobucket debacle hasn't trashed, its a jaw dropping way to spend an evening.

Exquisite workmanship, although it only went over the top in the last 5 seconds of the creation phase when he started to wet sand the alluminum to get that high polish. How many hours of polishing did he skip over getting to the final product.

No criticism implied in my post...I can only dream of having that much patience (and time) in working on shop projects. I'm actually imnspired to plan ahead and slow down a little bit the next time I'm building a gift for someone.

Now I want to make one and I don't even have any headphones?

Also, I have never seen counterbore bits like that before? Are they suitable for harder materials (steel) as well???

Definitely mesmerizing. I gather that his techniques are not 100% perfect (from reading the comments) but I know they are better than mine!
