Fantastic work, Kyle! Your backsplash design is inspiring, and I’m definitely going to use it for my lathe. That fixture table is magnificent. Consider me a lifelong subscriber. Thank you!
I enjoy your rebuild and fabricating videos very much, your creativity and dedication to quality make me want to see some of the customer jobs you do. If I ever need machining/fabrication I’m coming to you. 😊
Thank you Kyle. Your presentations are improving and I appreciate the explanations that you give for your designs and how you get to the finished product.
Faultlessly thought out , the LINEX is a great shout for all the reasons mentioned.I always find I look forwards to using the machine tools I have spent time on ,not only servicing and maintaining but personalising and in some cases improving .great to see the tee slot table earning its keep , my workshop of forty years was put together to support various motorcycle racing endeavours ,now I seem to be enjoying restoring and using machine tools of certain eras more .with an inventory of Indian,guzzi,Norton,Suzuki,Kawasaki and some BMWs waiting to be made faster time is the key. Great channel.every precise detail,is fascinating .
That backsplash is turning out to be better than factory made ones nowadays. And it’s BIG !! I would consider lining the back as well as the front. Kinda encapsulated fully would offer better protection. Also the back has all the nooks and crannies that Rust tends to thrive in. But that being said the cost is substantial. I completely understand opting for the paint instead. But I’d keep the back well saturated with oil. Either way that lathe is going to be a beast. Thanks for sharing your project my friend. Stay cool neighbor !
Most Backsplashes' that I have been around were built by someone that never had to work with them after they finished them, You have built a fine backsplash that will be nice to remove when needed with the lifting lug. I know the coolant tanks will be just as nice to use and will be something to behold as you don't see S.S. coolant tanks for a lathe, Take care and be safe.
very cool, good presentation as well. If you have problems with a ringing/rattling sound, maybe consider adding some of those rubber anti vibration mats for like a clithes washer or dryer on the back betwwen the ribs. Those are cheap, durable and provide some anti vibration capabilities
Kyle, love the Idea of Line-X....I build custom mobile bars here for high end hotels at Disney, and the bases are Stainless or Carbon Steel with 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood, they have to support pretty heavy loads and abuse.... we then get them Line-X ed......gives a great tough, long-lasting surface and good looking too..... cheers, Paul in Orlando
Very nice. . . It'll look great after it is painted. . I'd be tempted to buff it out and give it a big shine but yeah, it's probably better to be painted and help with the noise. .
2:54 I LOVE ordering steel prebent like tis!!! .. They charge practically nothing for bending it at the supplier, and onsite we end up cutting and welding to get a bend in anything that wide!! .. Great idea!! :)
Watching you getting this Lion Lathe workable has been both interesting & a learning process. There is no way that you are doing this just because you plan to make the odd tool to improve your collection of tools. What do you plan to do? Will we see you doing work that earns you an income?
When you bore and tap into cast, is it ever through or is the cast thick enough and how do you make sure beforehand? I see that done so often but never get to know if it got to the e.g. oil chamber where the gears are ...
Yeah, if you’re doing it on the gearbox, you gotta be more careful so you don’t drill through. a lot of casting and solid for a little bit then hollow in the middle. It just depends on where you’re doing it. For the headstock, I noticed that it was about 3/4 of an inch thick so I just was a little careful.
@@danhoag373 I had a job come up moving a bunch of big plates so I purchased that magnetic lifting magnet. I use it almost every week for lifting stuff that doesn’t have a lifting eye. It’s very handy. I think it lifts like 1600 pounds.
Hmm hard to remember was a few months back I want to say 200 for the sheet maybe 100 for rectangle tube but I did get two sheets so maybe 300-400 on that

Yes, I agree. I want to do more customer jobs as well. I have them. I’ve just been focusing on Machinery, but I’m gonna be posting more customer jobs.
Thank you Kyle. Your presentations are improving and I appreciate the explanations that you give for your designs and how you get to the finished product.
Glad you like them!
You are a very talented young man.
I appreciate it

love the CAD work at 12:15...Cardboard Assisted Design......
Yeah it’s the best

Absolutely love it. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing, always great to watch your videos.
Appreciate it thanks
Great job hey your work is exemplary I strive to be at the level you are
I appreciate that!
Very nice Kyle. i need to do the same for my lathe.
Yeah to many projects right?
The bedliner is brilliant. I'm going to see if there's someone near me that can sandblast mine and I'm going to get it lined as well!
Awesome let me know how it turns out
Looks pretty stout, as expected. Maybe consider using some spray foam on the back as a vibration damper?
Good idea

Looks great, Kyle! Really enjoying this series.
Glad to hear it!
Great job. Keep them coming
Will do
Just flippen awsome. great work. can't wait to see finished product. thanks for sharing
Absolutely
One heck of a back splash. 👍Probably cost you more than the lathe purchase once you are done. 😀
Yeah like always

Thanks Paul must be warm down there
Awesome job man. You have an impressive range of skills in your toolbox.
Thanks appreciate it

Yeah true
can't wait for the next video, awsome work as always
Thanks
Not over kill Kyle, on the back splash in this welder/fabricator's mind......looks great from here.....PB
Thanks Paul
great work, thank you! 👍
Absolutely glad you enjoyed it
I’d like to learn more about durable paints.
Also think if you want to mount a tool holder to that back splash for convenience
Nah on mounting tool to it. On smaller lathes that works great but it’s harder on bigger lathes. It would be a big reach
Nice, first lath with a ballistic rating for splash guard, you are my type of maker. Ray
lol thanks
Looks good
It does!
2:54 I LOVE ordering steel prebent like tis!!! .. They charge practically nothing for bending it at the supplier, and onsite we end up cutting and welding to get a bend in anything that wide!! .. Great idea!! :)
Indeed works well
I dont know your background but your fabricating skills are aparent. That skill n welding would pay a really good wage.
Indeed entirely self taught
Hermoso trabajo amigo creo que la mayoría de los tornos no traen ese protector pero ahora los nuevos tornos los tren se ve mucho mejor así 👏👏👏👏👍
👍
great job
Appreciate it
With cast material you can just use your cordless impact to run the tap in/out.
Yes but sometimes they break taps

Will we see you doing work that earns you an income?
My hope is this Machine will be the backbone of our shop doing tons of work all the time.

I have to tap many holes, and use the Snap-on tap sockets.... Was that an "Adjustable" tap socket you were using ?? What brand ?? THanxx Bro.
Lisle tap socket kit
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair THANK YOU, I'm in
Nicely done I think we know by now your middle name is overkill (and why not your shop your machines )👍👍👍
Very true
Are you going to do a wild color on the back splash?
Black on front lathe color on back
I wish a belayed 4 th July to you and your family.
Thank you
off topic what put you onto using a magnet? how strong is it? what do you use it for? tnx dan
You meant the lifting magnet. Which one you talking about?
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair the magnet on the back of lathe in the first few minutes

best backsplash guard is from inox, but nice job
Thanks
what was the cost of materials?
Hmm hard to remember was a few months back I want to say 200 for the sheet maybe 100 for rectangle tube but I did get two sheets so maybe 300-400 on that
I tried to help but you block links. Best of luck to you. I have better things to do too.
Not that I am aware of unless CZcams does it. Not sure what benefits I would have in blocking links. Also unsure what your trying to help with
