Great information. new subscriber. Do you have any downloads of these joints or resources where we can find them? i'd love to try some of them.

Great video explaind very clearly and no adhd speed :)

Máquina pequena Com o novo motor ficou muito forte Parabéns amigo Saudações do Brasil !!🤝

great joints info .. cheers

Nice video. I’ve tested out all of them, when I was starting my laser cutting business 8 years ago. I really thought I invented few of them, but later started to see similar joints all over the place. Either people came up with it on their own, or they got the idea from me, I don't know. But I have at least 4 other joints that are not in this video. However, some of them are improved versions of existing ones.

Most likely the greasy substance in the beer has evaporated as well

Great vid, loved the explanations and slowly seeing your build come together 🎉

The storage solution is an awesome idea! I will have to look at creating my own for the workshop soon. Thanks for sharing Martin!

Muchas gracias por descubrirme las posibilidades de ensamble de las piezas de madera. Creo que sería interesante que explicaras qué tipos de materiales para corte y grabado láser, según el tipo de laser. También sería interesante conocer más concretamente que características poseen las diferentes maderas (blandas, duras, contrachapados, etc), y como interactúa el haz de luz con el material. Otro punto interesante de descubrir sería como ajustar el punto de enfoque un corte preciso, y un grabado espectacular. Que tipo de maderas utilizar en el grabado para mejorar el contraste. Y que tratamientos e impermeabilización se usan en los acabados. Muchas Felicidades por compartir tus conocimientos con nosotros. Un cordial saludo...

Great video and well demonstrated explained. A couple of comments (that are worth as much as you want to feel they're worth 😉): By adding that 2HP motor to yoyr mini-lathe, you've certainty upped the torque available and with a few rigidity upgrades (Steve Jordan has a few really good videos) you'll be able to make use of most, if not all that extra oomph. However, as you suggest, that does mean you gave the lathe extra oomph to hurt you with. The thing is, the only thing worse than having no safety guards on a machine tool, is having safety guards that obstruct the work you want to do. Much of the work on a lathe is done close to the chuck. That's especially true on a mini-lathe, even with rigidity upgrades. Those chuck guards can obstruct work like that. There's a reason many machinists (and not just those with mini-lathes) remove chuck guards and it's not because they've reckless or complacent. It's because the cure is worse than the disease in this case. Training yourself to never, ever, *ever* leave the chuck key in the chuck and to always know where your chuck key is on starting the machine is a vital part of any machinists safety education. Getting that habit utterly ingrained is a much more reliable safety mechanic than any electrical or mechanical safety device (which could fail without you knowing). Also, if you can get hold of one, the 'Big Red Button' e-stops (the ones that are effectively a big red button covering separate start and stop switches) are preferable to the two switch type arrangements. They're much easier to hit in a hurry and aren't particularly expensive. They'll have the same wiring as your existing switch so it would just be a straight swap wiring-wise. Lastly, I'd be cautious about emphasising too much the danger of machine tools. Yes they're potentially dangerous machines but there's also the danger of exaggerating the risk and reducing the credibility of sensible safety advice. That can lead to people without a sufficient understanding of what the risks really are, dismissing all talk of safety. 😉 Anyway, hope you don't mind me putting in my twopenn'orth. 😊

Most chinese electric machines like lathe, table saw, ... are good as a diy project. It is best to order without motor/ electronics (if possible) and complete by Do it yourself. We can save the Harbor freight's Northern tool's fee and got much better machine. .

Really interesting video and the logo sign at the end like great.

Fantastic job matey! I’ve got that book too, it’s brilliant for flicking through and getting ideas.

What a cool project 😎

great work! lots to learn here. You can totally export DXF and SVG for free in Fusion though. SVG requires a plugin, but for DXF just right click on the sketch on the component browser

Any more powerful motor Will less chance to get damage

Great job Martin

Great book and a great video you’re a mechanical bloody genius!!! It’s inspired me to try and make something with moving parts . Cheers Martin

This thing is amazing great work and great video dude!

Wow these are brilliant

Using a AC asynchronous motor you don't need a RPM meter, you can just use the inverter display. Then you can use a different pulley size to improve low speed torque and motor cooling while still being able to run it fast enough by "over clocking" the motor (up to 80Hz ... or more with a few electronic tricks). I also consider this type of mini lathe improvement so you video was quite interesting and useful: thank you!

🤤 Promo'SM

very cool! Now I wish I had some svg files to see how you designed them! Thankss for the video.

wow.... I guess leaving a comment in a video that is 11 months old gets removed.. thank you very much. I thought the comment I left was very productive. Why did you remove it???

how did you make that rolling cover?????

That is a cool desk. Great project

Hi, Could you maybe send the file for the different joint examples, i would like to use them for the kids in my school workshop!

Great content.

Fancy :)

Thanks, great video, liked, subscribed, commented and saved for reference 😅😊

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice video.

thanks for sharing, I learned some new ways to make joints from your video.

Will you be returning?

Now that you've shown us some magic, how about a video on all hinges? It'd be nice if you could share a file or recommend a link to cut these joints all in one go for 3mm & 4mm. I'm so busy now that I can hardly think... it would immensely save time. This video shares some important points that you've mastered. Cheers! Thanks for showing us how this works, subbed. Your first few tips are key to everything- everything else follows.

The storage looks great - is there someone to get the files for your modular storage system please?

Some really great ideas there. I loved the offset base and the radius cards. Thanks for sharing.

Which pulley and belt did you use? Great video, thanks for sharing.

nice workshop buddy look forward to more

Awesome video. Great learning too with the ply wood. I wouldn’t have considered that as a factor but will no doubt save me down the line somewhere on a project.

Brilliant mate! Your tutorial is much appreciated. Do you sell your joint designs?

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

Most excellent.

Thank you! Super helpful. I have a question, do finger joints work without glue for 2mm chipboard or would it fall apart?

Nice bit of OSB on them walls Martin looks great. I enjoyed the build and some nice lightburn tips I didn’t know so thanks

Get a 5" four jaw chuck . TOSS THE plastic thing

Great, i watched alot of these. You will not destroy, u put the t. Roller bearings in.

Great job Martin ! I will be giving these a go for sure !

Good work Martin!

Looks great hoping to get my workshop clean and organized in the new year
