Love this channel.
No three hour videos with yak, yak, yak about nothing!
Inovative, inventive, imaginative and ingenious ideas and inventions.
Keep up the good work!!

It's astounding what you can build with salvaged equipment and your applied knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems. I can't help but think that you could easily have a career in vocational training if you ever wanted to pursue such a path. Glad that your surgery went well and to see you back in the workshop. Thanks as ever for these excellent videos.

I have noticed Gerolf, that when we make one machine it always leads to the making of another machine which we didn’t realise we needed till we made the first machine.
And so the workshop slowly fills up and our time seems to fly by as we can do so much more, and so the work is never ending even though I am 78.
Love your work mate, keep it up. Cheers from Australia..

Your shop is looking less like scrap every video, it's inspiring to see how much professional equipment can be salvaged or even made from parts with the right knowledge

[JS_Precision]

This guy again. Whenever I watch his videos, I can't decide whether to buy more tools or to sell them all and take up knitting.

[lefzer]

of the most useful channels on youtube...congratulations!!!

[adamswire]

Some serious, big boy engineering going on here!!! Look forward to the TPAI aircraft carrier build....

If you add an adjustable foot ( bolt ) to the rear of the magnet you will greatly increase the holding power. Adding the foot forces the upward drilling forces to lift the magnet completely rather than hinging up at the back of the magnet. I'd also drill and ream for tapered pins where you connected the axes to the base. You can now freely remove the axes and replace them without having to re-align them.

Without a doubt, your channel has to be one of the most interesting and educational channels out there. There should be a higher level Like button for channels like this.

Its heart warming to see the evolution of the workshop with tooks making tools. Looks like theres some runout on that drill but for bolt holes it matters not. A definite success. The table is a beautiful monster. Always a pleasure to watch.

[NoNeedForaName]

You find the coolest things at the scrapyard.

[xycsoscyx]

I love how you always expand on previous projects to make the next one, nothing is ever a one off throw away, even in your own shop!

I've used a smaller mag drill in building construction several floors up off the ground. It worried me greatly that if power was lost, the drill might react to the bit pressure, bind up, then jump off the beam onto someone below. With it, both the magnet and the drill had one power source and yours has two, meaning that if the magnetism circuit fails the drill would still be powered enhancing the danger involved. I would recommend running both power inputs through a relay controlled by the magnet power supply so that if it fails the drill will stop itself too.

Finding Fein tools in scrap yards.. great project great results. Glad the milling machine is in the video could watch it cut all day thank you for the hard work

[ekim]

The capability of the things you put together are beyond impressive.

[petegraham]

Love your builds, I am a retired CDN engineer, live in the USA now but worked on 5 continents during my career, your a talented fellow!

[GaryT]

As per usual..mind blown by your outrageous problem solving and knowledge

[samvalentine]

I was hoping you'd make one up yourself... now I'll watch and see how you did it! Great job, Gerolf!

[burninpwder]

@TPAI one of the easiest cutting fluid/oil systems for a mag drill is a simple gravity feed put a cup on the top of the drill column and a line going to an adjustable drip end and use a valve to adjust flow. simple no extra pump needed and you can use with whatever fluid you have available. many of the commercial mag drills have this system as an option. love the video I had a feeling that old drill would find a home on a press or drilling fixture

[TheSlyMouse]

making something then showing it being used in more than just a demo is such quality content my man.
