I so love seeing your low tech engineering at work. Simple principles that make your work a little easier. Just genius! But the project that taught me the most about the power of "using your head to save your feet" was the monorail.

Wonderful, simple and effective - what’s not to like. Still smiling all the way through.👍

I'm always in awe of the things you come up with and craft! It's awesome to watch it all come together : )

Tim, You know you will be smiling when at 75 and you are still using this to transport the harvest into storage, what an energy (back) saver. Brilliant idea, great solution…. Now I see another video there I need to look at 😊 😊 Great work!!

I love, _love, _*_love_* the railway videos.

Hurrah! Thank-you from Littlehampton West Sussex.

I love the use of the fish box, stating "No unauthorised use" ;) My dad is from a former fishing community in Donegal - multiple breaches of that "no unauthorised use" in that location too!

Yay! the railroad is back! Ive missed it and oddly enough, its what brought me here in the first place.

6:30 a very diligent inspection dog ;) dog: ok, good to go.

Glad to see Bob is still on duty.

💚💚💚💚💚 I enjoy your videos very much.. And you use your imagination, not somebody's else's standards ..keep it up.

I've experienced that same jolt at 6:48 in a 400,000 pound locomotive. Very cool.

Proper job there mate! My only comment on the turntable is it would have been handy if you made a small "detent" for the ball bearing to roll into to help "locate" the turntable in action. Otherwise very cleverly done and it looks like it is serving the job it was intended for nicely!

In this case a detent would just offer a place for dirt and debris to accumulate and make it harder and harder to turn until it was impossible. It;s better how it is now as the bearings can just push debris out of their way as they run in to it.

There was a 15’ gauge steam locomotive for sale on eBay, would be great for the railway

That worked out really well. You are so inspiring with all the things you invent. That whole railway system looks fantastic!

Not sure the specifics of your set up Tim, but when I added a good air dryer and micron filter to my cutter, it improved tip life by ~ 400% on average. Very clean, very dry air can and will make that much of a difference in consumable lifespan. That, and always fine tuning the amperage for what you are cutting to minimize splash etc will make a big difference as well. Looking forward to the next blog! /Waves to Sandra!

It's something I've struggled with from the beginning. I put in a fibre filter and that made a difference, but not much. So I spent a lot on a refrigerator unit - and that made a difference too, but not much. Not sure what to try next?

i remember seeing small railroads (railways) like this where they were so small that the trains ran in buildings . i even saw one on a ship. they also used turntables like yours to turn or shunt instead of points in tiny places . (wharehouses , constructions sites , etc) job done.:) almost .

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! No words to describe the felling about this idea. Greetings from Portugal.

Gald to see you back in action ! Well thought out n works smooth.

Just awesome! I hope to build a narrrow gauge railway like yours someday, it looks so useful!

Brilliant- as usual.The plasma cutter is splendid.

genius at work, amazing stuff

Brilliant as always Tim, works a treat 👍🏻

Ingenious and beautiful in its simplicity, like all your inventions (well, someone else came up with the railway turntable...but you made this one!).

Especially enjoyed watching your railway builds. Good job.

That is a great idea. I think I'll put some plate steel in my giant CNC plasma cutter and pop one of these babies out this weekend... Easy peasy lemon squeasy.

please make more videos like these, love it when you build stuff

Very cool, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family

Well done good sir and team quality 👍👍

The first video of yours I saw was on the "mangolator," and that made me subscribe. I have wanted a garden railway ever since. (And I don't even have a garden to put it in!) I'm really excited to see you continue to improve your rail system.

Love it mate. Couldn’t help but imagine one could make a ‘station’ at each end that allowed those lower bars to rest, thus allowing the operator to park it level.

Plasma cutters (and their consumables) like VERY DRY air. A combination of water separators and filter elements are critical. I run a 25' hose in a coil from my compressor to a separator, then a Motor Guard brand "toilet paper" style filter at my machine for clean/dry air. I also sold my inexpensive Chinese machine and invested in a quality US made machine, I go through a lot less consumables now... My cuts look so much better now too! I'm saving my pennies for a CNC table. Cheers :)

SUGGESTION: You'll want to weld plates to the left, right, and center of the top of the turntable that is flush with your floor. You don't want your turntable to become a tripping hazard. You may also want to design a latching system to lock the plate in place for when not in use. (Again, spinning disks also are a trip/fall hazard.) Maybe a spring loaded bold on the side, so you can access it while a cart is on the turntable. A bit late for the pour, but you should have used C channel for the track in the barn. Would make screeding the cement easier both inside the track and out while give you better clearance on the wheel flanges. Hopefully, your barn floor has some decent rebar in the slab, or that concrete could flex and crack under heavy loads. Concrete is great for compression, but doesn't perform well under tension and sheer loads. That's where the imbedded rebar comes handy. There's a KZread channel called Practical Engineering that has an excellent series of videos on concrete and different ways engineers make it work better for our needs.

You're not only pretty but you're smart too! A good plan Tim. Makes life easier.

I was worried the nuts/spacers would rub too much on the bottom plate but it seems not to hinder movement at all. I would have turned that middle plate upside down and used the nuts to bolt it to the top plate, so there would be no friction at all other than the bearings themselves. But seeing how easily you can turn it I guess it wouldn't have been necessary!Really nice!

Wonderful content as usual. A small quibble. I'd suggest having a receiving cup on the underside for the center post so it doesn't have to stick up above floor level. It's something of a tripping hazard as it is now.

That is great. I sure hope that it was worth the time and money.

Very Good!... 209 🐄🦉✝

Seems like a real time and labor saver. You might add smaller ball bearings inside the spacer nuts. It would cut down on friction and raise the platform some to reduce the the small drop. A hole in the concrete and a spring detent would aid in alignment.

@WayOutWestx2

5 жыл бұрын

Well the spacer nuts only lift the center disc and don't effect the overall height. But you're right - it might make it spin easier. But it seems to work fine as it is and the simpler the better, right?
