When you come up with something, there’s nothing better than building it yourself. That’s why I decided to build my own workshop where I can make all of my ideas become reality.
I Only Had 50 sq ft To Build My Dream Machine Shop | Phil Engineering
Large machines and a small space are not really compatible. But if you have nothing else and still want industrial equipment you have to do it anyway. Let’s see if 5 sqm can fit 2.5 tons of machinery.

I Gave This Machine From The ‘80s A Second Life | Lathe Restoration Part 2
zhlédnutí 23KPřed 6 měsíci
In this part I will finally finish the Colchester Master 2500. It was definitely more work than I thought it would be, giving me almost a heart attack along the way, but I did it. Intro/Outro Music: Epidemic Sound Crab Boys Pt. 2 - Auxjack, Jobii
Was Buying This A Good Idea? | Lathe Restoration Part 1
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 6 měsíci
One of the most essential machines to have in a metal workshop is a Lathe, so of course I bought one. Right here I have a Colchester Master 2500 that was not used for 6 years, so here I am, giving it a second life. Intro/Outro Music: Epidemic Sound Crab Boys Pt. 2 - Auxjack, Jobii
It Took Me Over 200 Hours.. Was It Worth It? | Milling Machine Restoration Part 2
zhlédnutí 43KPřed 7 měsíci
Welcome back to the milling machine restoration, in this part we will finally get this old Fexac UP back into shape. Incredible effort but will the machine even work? Intro/Outro Music: Epidemic Sound Crab Boys Pt. 2 - Auxjack, Jobii
I Massively Underestimated This When I Bought It | Milling Machine Restoration Part 1
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 8 měsíci
Welcome to my first project where I try to get this Fexac UP milling machine back into working condition. Only a few years of rust and dirt, how hard can it be? Intro/Outro Music: Epidemic Sound Crab Boys Pt. 2 - Auxjack, Jobii
Realy good work Phil, nice refurb, plus the fact you had a good machine in the begining,( diamond in the rough).
This is not a restoration, is just a cleanup! Restoration means measuring of flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity on every moving part in relation to head of the machine. Restoration means also, grinding and scraping on the surfaces that have wear or excessive wear over the years of use in order to achieve flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity. If you find a broken part - since it’s a restoration project - you have three options, a. trying to fix it (if this is possible), b. make a new one, c. searching to buy the original part from shops that selling surplus parts etc. Restoration also means, changing of every bearings the machine have' inspection of the apron leadscrew, the leadscrew of the cross and top slide - in case of excessive wear you'll need the change or make new leadscrew-s. The final step of a restoration is the paint job - usually the original color of the machine. Adding a DRO, a new chuck, or another QCTP are consider add-ons and we are doing this simply because we want to improve the accuracy and the quality of the parts we going to make with the restored machine. This just my humble opinion on how a lathe should be restored.
Hmm this last lathe restoration video is 5 months old. I just subscribed but wonder if you are planning to upload the third part of the series.
Are you going to see how true the ways are compared with each other? I saw how Keith Rucker have done it (I think you know him on CZcams). He is really good with scraping lathe ways.
You have built a dream there man.
Hi Phil, I’m really enjoying your channel. I’ve watched your previous two videos on your lathe overhaul and found them very useful because I’ve just purchased 4 days ago) a Cholchester Triumph 2000 which I believe is the same as yours with just a different name. The dealer I purchased it from has changed the gearbox oil but I’m not sure what he used so I will drain it and put the correct oil in it. Thanks for that piece of important info. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Hi, no the triumph is actually the bigger brother, a really nice machine. Take a look inside the manual what they recommended and then ask what the modern version is. Pretty sure the triumph takes shell oil too.
@@PhilEngineering Yes, mine takes the same oil. Thanks.
What do you spray to clean the machine?
Just normal machine parts cleaner.
Hast du den Motor umgepolt wegen der Lautstärke und dem zahnrad zur Änderung der drehrichtung? Meine Colchester triumph 2000 ist auch sehr laut. Könntest du das nochmal erklären? Stehe auf dem Schlauch. MfG Wilhelm
Ist umgepolt um das ausgeschlagene Zahnrad zu überbrücken. Das Reverse Zahnrad dreht dadurch dann vorwärts und das andere wird nicht mehr belastet aber ist nur eine vorübergehende Lösung.
Schöne Drehbank
Gotteswinter standards precision workshop. Respect!
Sieht sehr gut aus, klasse geworden.
Thank you for the video. My workshop space is around the same as yours. I also take inspiration from Clickspring's tiny shop space.
Just came across your channel. I look forward to watching more from you.
Very impressive workshop! And your video and editing are excelllent too, very professional. Liked and subscribed. 👍🛎
So cool!!! So many mechanical parts make up such fine equipment. I marvel at your ability to work with your hands, perhaps you have some contact information or email address we could chat about collaborating?
Absolutely fantastic organization of your tools. It must have taken a long time to print out all of those tool holders.
Good one, top score, well done !!
Excellent looking shop you have made here. I hope to have my own one day
Super warsztat 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
Very cozy space. 👍🏼
How does that threading indicator works if the gear stack doesn't engage the key?
The stack is just for storage only the gear at the end is engaging the leadscrew. The different gears are for different pitches like the plate shows.
@@PhilEngineering oooh, had a brainfart there.
stabil, ich hab viel mehr platz und es sieht nicht halb so gut aus :)
Just as a shoutout to anyone installing a DRO. Or will I just sound like a grumpy old man picking on every small detail… 🙄🙈😅 If it’s anything like the ones I have (it sure looks so), the installation manual says to keep the transportation lock/adjustment shim (the black plastic piece in the background at 37:00) in place for the correct spacing between the head and scale, when tightening it. I’m not saying you did anything wrong here. It might just be out of the video. Just a small detail for anyone looking for inspiration in this awesome project and video. 👌 Impressive to say the least. Edit: And just because of me commenting about the spacer/liner you mentioning it less then two minutes later. 🤦♂️ I’m sorry for jumping the gun here. Ooh, and your brackets look 1000x better than mine. Really nice.
First time viewing your channel. Great job! I have a little bigger shop but it is a challenge for sure to layout ones shop, especially when one keeps adding more machines to it! Yes I subscribed...!
I would love to see your “sorting and storing”-process for this one. How do you bag, mark and keep everything in its place for ease of (sub)assembly?
How is it possible that I haven’t found this channel before? 🤷♂️ Definitely need to have a look through your content. 👌
Well organised little workshop. Excellent work making the lathe threading dial.
Fantastic work - I'm very interested to see your solution to the 26tooth gear issue in the headstock. Danke!
You got my sub 🎉
Very interesting and a superb use of very limited space. Excellent job on recreating the thread dial indicator, the result looks really good. 3D printing of tool holder storage brackets was a good idea. I have the same lathe as you but I think mine is slightly longer (40" variant) Vielen Dank!
Workshop Tetris :)
29:04 a mouse will really enjoy living in your tool holder box
Well i'm impressed, well done that man.
Hallo, i have a question: how do you power those tools. Im planning on getting something similar but they are 380v three phase. I have 220v here.
I have real 3 phase power. If you don’t have access to that I recommend trying a Phase Converter.
i think that floor is gonna be a real problem for cleaning around
love all the lil 3d printed orgalizational bits though, very nice.
if you don't want to lose an arm or your life don't use gloves. " Two tons of machinery" and the dude wears gloves on the lathe
jeez, youre as organized as clough42, which is rare !
Good work..subscribed..🎉
Amazing job! ill probably take some inspiration for setting up my own garage shop soon. Might I recommend making a access hole in the side of the box holding all your taper holders? Knowing myself I would definitely drop something in there and struggle to take it back out haha
Hey man well done organizing your tiny machine shop. I know exactly what it's like, my shop also has an available floor space of 5 square metres which houses a medium sized 900mm x 300mm lathe, medium sized universal knee mill ( hafco HM54GV for those in Australia ) I also have a universal tool and cutter grinder a pedestal drill a jib crane, small pedestal grinder/linisher and tooling trolley for the mill plus other tool boxes oh and a bench with a vice all in that space, outside that room I have mig and tig welders and a medium sized band saw. If I have to set up the mill for horizontal cutting I have to take the grinder/linisher outside otherwise I am trapped in the room. I don't know what the humidity is like where you are but one tip I would give you especially having a 3D printer is everywhere you have metal and wood surfaces touching together put a plastic barrier between them or you will have a rust problem because wood draws moisture from the air and holds it. I have to keep everything covered in plastic here due to the humidity. Oh and magnetic pickup tools are great for cleaning up the chip mess. Happy cutting and look forward to your next video.
Very nice Mill. Everything about it is industrial quality. Now that everyone knows where it is, hopefully the Bundeswehr won't ask you to make missile parts with it if the Russians invade..😅
I'm very impressed with your progress. We're all excited to see what you'll do next!
Brilliant video. Look forward to future ones. Do you plan to release any of your print files? I have been organising my workshop with my printer and a few of your files are on my list.
I may release some files in the future.
the man is back! have a good weekend!
Great job! Love the German attention to detail 😉 Are you setting this up purely for a hobby shop for CZcams or are you planning to take on paid work? Just curious
Right now just for my personal stuff.
thanks for the video
Nice job Phil
A threadibg does not wirk with metric threads. Only with imperial. In metric its only working with a few sizes
It is good to see you. Yes I do like the look of your shop. Just 1 thing Please don't keep us waiting so long before we see you again. I found this guy on CZcams I think you will be interested "HAL Heavy Duty Machining Australia" He like you needs to beknown.
Very Nice ! At a certain point it is a Advantage to have everything in betwen 2 meters of reach ! i see no drawbacks here !
