Keen to see an introduction to any technology like plc's or pneumatics as well as workshop aplication videos.

A yes for pneumatic fun!!!!!!

James, these projects all sound interesting, I am sure 99% of your viewers are like minded people so we will enjoy your hard work making these for us. Many thanks from the U.K.

James, I have enjoyed all of the content that you have provided! And yes, I would like to see the pneumatic project(s). Take care, John

I all for pneumatics, printing, and casting videos. Anyone who doubts the applications of printing is crazy, they have their uses, just not everywhere. I personally have been using a good amount of printing lately for prototyping parts, but I've only done casting patterns once before.

Me again, just a quick cost saving tip, if you reprint the pattern print four, or more , all connected together. As you generally pay for each flask, not whats in it, casting four at a time will be considerably cheapet fot you, or so i was told when I last had some tool rests cast.

Great stuff your doing. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Looking forward to the pneumatic. Thinking of putting a pneumatic cylinder band brake on my lathe.

Cool - looking forward to the upcoming content. I understand how much time it takes to produce and we really appreciate your time doing it. 👍👍

Pneumatics is a good area to delve into. The LED light inside the control panel is a great idea. It beats holding a flashlight in one hand while trying to work with the other inside a box.

No doubt. And the older I get the more light I seem to need.

Can't wait to see these machined👌

would love to see what your doing with pneumatics

Look forward to seeing the up coming videos, yes on the pneumatics.

enjoyed...looking forward to product development/videos

Good morning Sir! Hope all is well nice to see a video. Thank you.

I would suggest making your fixed jack stands with about 1" of straight shank. They should still pull out of the sand ok I would think and it would let you easily grab them in a 3 jaw, face the bases and then bolt down to machine the tops. Done deal. If you wanted to get fancy you could add a secondary larger diameter right at the base so that your jaws would have a fixed stop of height enough to allow you to get the cutter in between the chuck and the base and you could machine the surface where the nut goes parallel to the base in the same operation. :-)

May i add, only make the long pattern. Why have two as both will to be machined and you just need to machine a bit more off for the shorter one. Or am I just stating the bleeding obvious.😯

Inventive fabrication is always fun to do and watch regardless of whether you are using pneumatics , hydraulics or any other power source.

Good idea. On jacks

Very interested in the pneumatics, they work well in the woodworking shop as well

Good stuff James!

I like the vice height spacer doovalackies , great idea . Cheers .

May have to grab one of those Shars magnetic bases with arm and mount a camera to it for videoing.

James, with the staircase blocks, I see an opportunity to also cover the 1/4 increments... when laid down on it's sides, the steps could be 1-1/4, 2-1/4, 3-1/4... on one side, and 3/4, 1-3/4, 2-3/4... on the other, giving a wider selection of step heights. I have to agree with Emma and you about the 3D printing versus more "direct" methods of pattenmaking, especially with such simple geometric shapes, they just beg to be bandsawn and beltsanded from wood. Completed in the time it takes to create a CAD model on computer...

Definitely interested in pneumatics projects.

I make beverage can crushers for local bars as a side gig, Pneumatics are cheap and readily available.Love the channel.

Hmmmm, I have this cylinder that might be the perfect size for such an item.

Yes I’m interested in pneumatics, I’m building a reloading machine and I’m using pneumatic pistons and other items.

Good stuff

Great video! 😎

Pneumatics are very interesting and would like to see more on them. What’s the status of the hydraulic press build?

Me too... a bit concerned with using magnets to hold something above electrical components... Lathes do vibrate.

Yes on pneumatics.

A piece of shafting with a tapered hole thru the center matching your jack would hold it in a lathe chuck alowing the top and bottom to be finished.

James, I had to laugh a bit as you were sawing those cubes in half. My senses actually got a whiff of that styrene. No joke. Maybe from my own experiences with working with it.

Hey Jay! Always happy to see a new vid from you. See you in June!

I'm going to be all over those jack castings as soon as they are available. How soon can you have them ready? I'd love to see some videos about the pneumatics stuff.

Hi! I would like to learn more about industrial pneumatics. I know a good bit about HVAC pneumatics but that is so obsolete now days and it is a whole different ball of wax.

I would have expected a one piece solid cube pattern with support wings for a core (and all the draft in one direction) plus core box pattern for the hollow middle core.

It is a learning experience for sure, one mistake at a time.

Just a beginner with 3D printing. But that's a really dense infill , often more borders + top/bottom layers will give a stronger part (without lots of infill). Of course that worked well in this case for splitting it. Getting split prints to line up accurately is a problem (elephants foot, or corners lifting, etc) I wonder if you could print it as one object, but force 10mm of solid layers in the middle of the model so you could cut it in half on the bandsaw and be left with a solid top/bottoms? -Cheers!

Hmmm, solid center, that's an interesting idea. I print patterns at 35% infill, 4 solid layers on bottom.

First thanks James always great vids

High!

I like your laid back attitude, if something doesn't work out you calmly proceed to plan two without a lot of gnashing of teeth maybe you are just that way on video but I don't think so. Anyway interesting projects ahead, nothing an old watchmaker could use except maybe the little task light, but interesting none the less. Thanks

yep some pneumatics videos. no 3d print videos. next person that says they make easy patterns im gonna murder. love to see your jacks. having castings makes it feel like your well on the way to actually finishing the projects.

There is no doubt, at least in my mind, that 3d printing does not reduce the amount of work in a pattern. It just changes the nature of the work in many ways.

When asked we will 'press' you about finishing a very long standing project... Sorry couldn't resist. Hope your family is doing well.

Just a thought but haven't you put too many dowels in the larger pattern? I am no pattern maker but I believe you want one half to be flat so it can be placed flat on the board. I like the vice height supports and have been thinking about making some for years but I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Can you use pneumatics to drive an internal key cutter?

Hello, James, I am interested in pneumatic one company I worked for used a lot of them in various ways one was a gang punch for 0.020 aluminum.

HI

When you bandsaw cut the machinist cube patterns to make cope and drag patterns isn't the draft from the parting line on one side going the wrong direction now?

Why would the holes in the 3D print need to be sealed, aren’t those where the pattern halves meet? No reason to care there IMHO

They would just get nasty, filled with sand, and not fit up well when you put the pattern halves together. Give you a bad parting line etc.

Hi James, what happened to the big hydraulic press you were make Ng a while ago?

So how do you really, really know you have that switch set such that the light truly goes off when you close the cabinet? Apologies in advance if it gives you sleepless nights. :)

While I like the LED light in the electrical box speaking only for me myself and I; I am not a real keen on having anything magnetically mounted inside an electrical box on the chance regardless of however slim of whatever the object (light) might be being pulled from the box or perhaps if the magnets are glued (epoxied) to the object (object) thar bond failing and thus resulting in object (light) that was once affixed to the electrical box now potentially laying across high voltage wires or contacts that could lead to a short circuit or the object (light) becoming electrified which if accidental touched/grabbed could electrocute/shock that person. Yes I know there are a lot of maybes or what ifs in what I just said but isn’t that how shop accidents happen. Additionally I am not trying to be a KZread SS (Safety Sally’s). I am just simple stating I don’t like having anything in a electrical box that is not mechanical fastened (screws, nut and bolt, clamps, laced in with 9-cord). The reason for my rambling on about this is I have personally scene and fixed the aftermath when something is “stuck” into a electrical box as opposed to being mechanically fastened.
