6061 on the calculator was a great touch 😂

I like the smell of Dykem, but a Sharpie is way faster and more practical; which is why I use it 90% of the time. Also don't hesitate using a cheap pair of calipers to make layout lines. Keep the good Mit's aside for making critical measurements. Good episode!

I am mig welder help me bro

Have you ever removed your helmet?...This is the way...

Great video well said and well demonstrated. I will say the spray version works quite well on normally clean aluminum. Use it when i am manual matching aluminum. A little acetone cleans it up fast so long as you were not trying to paint it like an old car door.

Mobile WorkSHOP? Fascinating!

I laugh every time I see someone making the comments against calipers as scribes. About the only ever remotely valid argument would be COS induced error from not being perfectly perpendicular and square but hell, we're talking a few 10ths to maybe a thou or two... if your need to be that accurate, you shouldn't be doing scribed hand layouts to begin with. And yeah, just have good pair for machine work and a cheapo pair for layout work.

Did that HTP welder not work out? I need a new welder and was looking at getting the HTP. Thoughts?

Puh. Sexy

The comments were at 420 and I did t want to ruin it but damn that was cool and thank you for sharing. I even enjoyed ll the subtle humor like hands literally being tied up. 😂

What size of generator are you using to power your mobile shop? Does it produce 3 phase or are you using an inverter or phase converter for your machine tools? Thanks b

Awesome man. Absolutely stunning work. Love that you can live in your truck with your shop. New subscriber ✌🏻

Thanks Aaron! I’ve been a machinist since 1984 and I have always used my older worn caliper for layout work. It is just so much faster and more accurate! When the tips get worn, I just lightly grind the angle part until I have a new crisp point for layout work. Cheers! 👍Don

Really nice work!

Thanks 🍻👨🏻‍🏭🇨🇦

Are you still using the HTP?

An expert tig welder, a massive truck and plays the drums 😮 You are my new favourite person 👊🏼

Haters will hate.... Hi Paul!

Great idea, thanks for sharing.

been TIG welding for 25 years, and I generally do grind tungsten at both ends, and if the diameter doesn't get bigger, I turn it around and use the other tip...if not, I grab another tungsten, and add it to the sharpening pile. I don't ever force it through the collet. I usually take a 10 pack, and turn it into 20x 3.5" sticks ground on both ends. 40 tips! admittedly, that is a bit wasteful because they are useless when they are 1" or less, but they last me a long time, so it's worth it to save time if you are getting paid well!

Great work sir

You do top notch work, I think the liquid Dycam had its purposes but the shop I work in makes hundreds of parts and we found the blue spray on aluminum works the best because its and even coat with a consistent color no voids like the brush But were it really shines is when you have to make a precision part and you are using and optical center punch , its a game changer and its all done by laying out the proper lines using nothing more than calipers and a optical center punch ...

Thank you for making this video, I like the simplicity of your design and will use many of these ideas. I had concerns that the enclosure would reduce the versatility of the mill when doing large or long pieces that hang over the edge. A few times a year I need to take off the vise and clamp parts directly to the table or onto an angle plate. I like how each wall panel is held together in the corner using a cross drilled square bar. I would need to have each wall panel removable for pieces that hang over the edge. I plan to put a 90 degree profile "picture frame" around the base for it to screw into at each panel's bottom. I also prefer to use straight cutting oil on my manual machines, I do not want that on the floor, much more easy having a pump compared to the spray bottle I use for drilling. You have done the best job making an enclosure for a knee mill that I have seen.

Good video as always👍

I noticed you had 1K ‘likes’ and not a single ‘dislike’…fuck that guy😆

The "Magnum" Sharpies work well for sheet metal marking along with your favorite caliper.

IS THAT A SUPRA!!??!

About the calipers, because it seems to get a lot of panties in a knot.. there are actual scribe calipers which have carbide jaws specifically designed to scribe material with. Second; thanks for sharing these videos. I really like the Q&A narrated style videos. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

Filter??

Good stuff my friend! 👍

The uptick in content and the voice commentary is a welcome change to an already great channel. 😊

I'd love to know more about your life. How long have you been running (and living in??) a mobile shop? What made you embark on the journey? It's such a cool situation, though not without some compromises compared to "regular" American life.

Love these videos!

I thought that box was a Mill Cib to put a baby in it to rock him to sleep.😂

Always a good day when 6061 drops a video.

I'm loving these how too videos ✌️

👍

lathe splash guards next?

Thank you!

There's a reason why Permatex has called it "The Right Stuff" ...

Caliper layout is the way. What a bunch of idiots. We aren’t building a rocket ship lol

Do you have a video about the enclosure you made for your milling machine? I would like to make something similar for mine to stay cleaner.

niceeee

Wont be long now till we get a face reveal haha! Finally got him talking

I eventually lose the battery cover on the cheap ones. then it becomes my scribe

Sharpie and cheap calipers are the way to go. I use the butts from filler as a scribe, they get dull quick but it's scrap at this point already. I buy tools to save time and effort.

Metric 👍

In 30 years, I've never cursed at spilling a sharpie. I've also seen a guy apply dykem to a part in a spinning lathe. he was too close to the action to even notice the blue stripe forming on the machine, floor, and himself until he stepped away

Chef's Kiss for having 6061 on the calipers to begin with. 👌🤌
