Alumium. Thaumaturgy. I came for the metalwork, and stayed for the erudition.Nice rocket.

From the thumbnail, I thought it was some tail piece for a bass violin.

I used to do sign making I was only an apprentice but I saw how things were done and I'm here to tell you pretty awesome stuff did you guys do your own Neon?

When I was a child, my dad had a '65 Dodge Dart with several wooden replacement parts.

Nice looking seat.... But... If you wanted to scoop out the "butt" section, why not just use your cnc? (Opening credits imply you have one.) If you have Vectric software, they even have plans/video for a "two Cheeker." 😄

Electrician carbide hole saws? Clean holes and the bits have stops. Ideal Electrical Carbide Hole Cutter Set

Thanks for sharing, so much knowlege accumulated with your experience, condensed into this video full of very helpful content. This is true spirit of makers and hackers, thnk you so much

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was some kind of minimalistic bike sadel 😂

Best elevator on CZcams!🤌🏼

LMAO dejarik board inspiration. Love it 😂🔥

Bill Paxton was awesome!

I want that tool that you through in the Garbage!

You can probably use your brake press to punch holes instead of drilling them. I'm not a machinist, but I did IT at an industrial manufacturing facility for years and they had many different ways to utilize brake presses beyond standard bends.

What is alumium? How is it different from aluminum?

Well read scholar who likes dick jokes is every scholar, history is full of dick jokes. It wasn't until the last 200 or so years people got really insistent that they were new and crass and bad.

True, your jokes are not funny, but you are. Love watching you.

Sir, you are a legend in your own mind

There isn't enough money in the world to get me to sit behind a vertical bandsaw while cutting sheet metal by hand. Just imagine what happens if you get kickback...

Always apply a wet rag to bare wood first. Then another sand before applying the finish. Saves on sand paper clogging with finish and costing more.

I had to wait 'til the end of the video to see you fall over. At least we found out why you had to replace the plastic seat with a stronger wood one. Maybe you should roll slower next time you go on office chair races.

The thumbnail brought me in, i thought it was a smoking pipe.🤭 (not finished of course) You were on PBS, right.🤔

9:58 yo wes, did you cut or stab something in your right thumb? i see some red on your thumb!! i hope its healed by now

Excellent...!!

12 sided figure = duodecagon.

What the hell is “Aloomeum” ? Al ooo min eeee ummm . Aluminium. Stop distorting the English language.

Anyone else extremly satisfied by the sound of the wood going to the vaccum 2:13

"I use more than one stool in this shop. Here's a sample." Sonovabitch I'm in *hits subscribe*

When you said it was missing something, I was really REALLY hoping that it was going to be a speaker so it would play elevator music during operation.

In my experience, being mad at the WiFi is a very valid excuse. 😂

Love the design and your talent. But to my asthetic, it seems like a waste to weather the sign. I guess when it's my money and my sign, I'll have you make it all pretty and new looking. :)

The shark teeth could be used in a turned resin vase.

From the thumbnail and video name, I thought this was a 3 seashells type thing

Ok I'm calling it 'Alumium' from now on. also: "I hate this tool, let's give it a try!" earned you a lifelong sub. That thing is basically a caltrop maker

Informative and well presented. Makes a change from a lot of the sensationalist YT dross. Thanks!

This one time at band clamp...

Wow! That was great. Wonderful to see a ShopSmith. Thank you, Wesley.

Do you recommend trying to use a ratchet strap as a band clamp if you don't plan on using them very much?

The one thing that drew me to this video is seeing the Cleco in the thumbnail. The only time I ever saw those used was in the air craft industry. I had a bunch of those, was working for a specialty camper place and got laid off, and forgot them there. Lol. I worked on aircraft for 15 years. 10 years as a crew chief/mechanic, and 5 years doing structural fabrication and repair.

I came for the perversion, but I stayed for the romantic saxophone music and the wooden love affair.

👍👍👍👍👍

lol i clicked because i thought it was going to be something different not a bad stool, and good video nonetheless 😂

The fun chair spin at the end was perfect

Awesome build! Do you ever add screen printed graphics to your pieces?

I give it two weeks before the siren and flashing lights go into the trash xD

You didn't consider Guitar Center might be about to go belly up and maybe are dumping gear. $11 with free shipping sounds like no profit margin

Paddle bits with soirs... harbor freight Hercules

That pattern hurts to look at - I love it!

do you think you could add spurs to the spade bit with a file or something?

I worked for years at an aerospace company and saw your techniques plus a bunch more. I worked in the machine shop but the sheet metal guys were just across the aisle drilling, bucking and riveting. I still have a bucket of Clecos and some pliers in my garage. I remember they had some fixtures they would put a whole sheet of metal on and then rout out the whole sheet with a big template guiding them. Another place I worked we would cut big slabs of inches thick Alumium on a Craftsman table saw. We used a lot of WD40 to keep from binding up the blade.

Fusion is most definitely garbage with sculpting. The form workspace is a real mess, and if you haven't mastered surfaces first you'll just wind up with a tangled web of impossible geometry. Symmetrical, sure, but still impossible. Can be fine if the body is never going to leave the digital world, but that's not much use. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
