A Meccano and Erector building channel hosted from my Rocky Mountain home in Utah. Here I explore the ideas of unique machines, mechanisms, and contraptions dreamed up from deep within my mind. I also show off the creations of other builders including VirtualMEC models, official Meccano Sets, and official A.C. Gilbert Erector sets.
My goal is to challenge myself further and further on each build to end up with fully functioning mechanical creations as great as some of the other Meccano masterminds found else on the Internet.

Meccano Mill Drum
zhlédnutí 192Před 11 měsíci
Check out this Meccano milldrum. I was inspired from the large milldrum attachments we use on our skids and dingo's every year at Ice Castles, where I work. This build boasts two 'modern' Meccano motors which basically overpower the mechanism. Perfect. When you're working with ice you need a lot of power. Too fast for the Google Pixel's frame rate also.

What is he really doing seems odd .
Sorting and organizing, it literally says that in the title.
They are contrates
Oh ok thanks

Great video! I have designed the chainsaw and upload the project on Virtualmec. I'd like to add a link to your video on Virtualmec if you agree... PGM
Of course you can! I'm so glad you found the video. Great design!
Ok, done
Nice one
Thanks dude!
Meccano is way better the Lego.
Metal>Plastic
nice but can you put it all together i mist a bit in the filming L.O.L
😂
They come to bits a lot quicker than building them! I'd keep everything built forever given sufficient space and parts, but I have neither, so this is a necessary part of the hobby, and it is enjoyable in it's own right.
That's for sure. There's a few that I refuse to take apart. I have lucked out as far as space goes and I'm gonna try and shift my focus this year to filling my book shelves up in the living room. I don't have enough books to fill it so it will have to be Meccano.
I agree with John, building and filming the way I do, it's built and taken to bits in one day, so I never have a stock pile of models. However I have been working on a set ten project for a few years in Red and Green, and those models will take a lot longer to build and take to bits afterwards. Great video though.
My display shelves have a lot more room now, but there's definitely a few ones I consider to be my permanent models. Looking forward to seeing the set ten project.
Thanks Meccano Man for this video. Some Meccano builders find the disassembly of models to be a tedious part of the hobby. In think, disassembly is often meditative and inspiring. I often get bored with my old Meccano model that has been on the shelf for months or even years. When I take it apart, it's exciting to think about future projects and the parts that will become available for building them.
I value everyone's feedback. A necessary evil. My hands were numb after this one.
Wonderful show for all
Thanks for tuning in
Nice!
Super cool!!! Wow!!
Very nice mate.
Merry Christmas Meccano Man!
Gran detalle. Los primeros son mis favoritos❤
Thanks!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you
Merry Christmas
Nu exista momentul de patinare-cuplare ca sa preia cuplul motor.
Yeah, good thing it's only a 3v motor!
Listen up Spinmaster. There is no better way for kids to learn engineering than classic Meccano.
For sure, it's like Rolex or Lexus, it costs more because it costs more to make. If Meccano started remaking the old parts again, out of metal, I guarantee they would sell.
Nice video! Sometimes I buy Meccano parts from Mecano Spares!
I know, I watched your video! Very clean website.
thanks meccano man for the web site meccano spares did not know about ,
heck yeah thanks for watching!
hear me out...battle bot made of meccano
A DR WHO Dalek Extenuate
That would be sick!
Alright! I love to see you so this!
Hell yeah. Thanks for watching man!
I'll have all of your erector gears if you don't want them!
Yeah right!
Some of these bits send me straight down Memory Lane! I recall with particular pleasure the gearwheels set; a smallish box but with big possibilities.. The parents used to get fed up with my using pencil graphite to lube the worm gears &c.. An amazing collection here! ⭐👍
Thanks for watching! There's a certain nostalgia when playing with Meccano especially the gears. Too funny about the pencil graphite!! =D
San Rafael Swell. Hell. I'd love to go. Good times!
Good times. We'll have to get the bikes down there again soon!
Good job, and good video making. The storytelling aspect and different locations all add to it. Plus you got a haircut!
Thanks. Sort of returning to an older format, this video was completely unplanned. Yeah, been having a change of pace recently, got a cut to match.
at 0:32 I can see someone outside trying to mow their lawn through the snow
It's a snow blower lol
I am guessing the grass was too long, and therefore the drag facture to great, to allow the motor to work. Interesting build mate.
Yeah these little 3V motors are nothing special. My next investment will be some decent motors.
I'm exited when your going to get to the AC Gilbert stuff!
My next AC Gilbert video will be an elevator lift which will go from the bottom of my apartment up to the second floor balcony. After that I plan to restore those motors, build a robot or two, and maybe a 18-wheeler of AC Gilbert.
I've been missing your videos for a while! Very good.
Thanks for circling back to check in! Slow but steady wins the race. More cool stuff coming.
Looking good mate, the sorting and prepping makes a difference.
Thank you. I'm excited to start whipping out some neat stuff.
Thanks for the shout-out. Very organised, you're starting to get a decent size collection together.
Always, that saved me a lot of space. This was one of those videos where I lost more than half of the footage and had to cobble together what I had. I deleted some of the final shots of everything squared away. Trust me, it's growing, I've added even more parts since this.
Great video. As someone just starting out with building ideas but no parts, where would you recommend getting a general collection of parts? Are there any vintage sets that were fairly generic? I see the value of this site for finding specific parts but building up a general collection this way could get very expensive. Any advice?
Meccano is best found second hand. Building a collection with individual pieces one by one would be expensive, however I certainly value this website for specific projects and particular components. They do have sets section available to start you off. The stellar thing about Meccano is all the parts are interchangeable and more-less generic on their own. Check out some thrift shops and online classifieds listings. If you're feeling bold go drop a grand or two on meccanoman.co.uk/catalog/
Cool (literally!).
Thanks for watching, haven't heard from you in a bit. Hope all is well!
@@meccanoman All fine thanks, just been busy and not particularly inspired to make anything at the minute.
@@BaldyMakesStuff As you are. The best thing about being creative is being able to know when to call it. I hope you are making the best of whatever it is you're doing! I'll be posting a Meccano competition soon, so you'd better be ready for that build!
@@meccanoman If I do nothing else I promise to make a video for your competition!
I see a finger pinching device. The ice castles look amazing.
LOL, the motors are pretty strong! Forget to get some shots destroying stuff!
👍👍👍
👍🏼👍🏼
🤟🤟
Love it mate, great build, just make sure you cut the correct side of the branch when you are up a height, because coming down the fast way is never that much fun.
Thanks! It was a snap cut, but it might be hard to see because of the editing!
Oh yeah...git yourself a mac...

What kind of airplane?
One that flies!? Not exactly sure... I know it was an older model like 1970's or something.
I think your LEGO set was hit by a fragment of the Allspark
Oooh the Allspark, huh?
Love it.
Thanks for watching!
Cool!
Thanks for tuning in!
😅what how did u do that! Gosh more peole need to listen to u i just found dark nnight of thy soul had the deep meaning and the composition then i came bk to u and greatly cheered up xoxo uu know who!
Thanks for watching! Next video will be a Robot!
Nice build mate, showing the versatility of meccano.
Thank you! I needed to do something simple since I haven't been uploading. I'll be back to my regular schedule of every other Friday starting this Friday (Aug 4).
