Just awesome... no other words.
Utterly stunning, your putting machining shops to shame there.
Wow, thank you guys. It's really encouraging.
@ Clive - Not trying to put anyone to shame! Just hope it inspires others to keep going on their own machines and designs.
@ Zeeflyboy - thank you.
@ Desertboy - thank you too. Much slower than a machine shop though, would never make money at this rate !
Fantastic build and craftsmanship, really enjoying this build. It's going to be one hell of a machine!

Top notch build!!! Thanks for taking the time to make all those videos also!
My Grandad used to say good workmanship is priceless, that's why I'm not paying lol ;)Quote:

@Nickhofen - You've got Lee to thank/blame for the video series after he asked if I could video the line boring operation on the spindle block. I managed to get a bit of footage and patch it all together, and actually quite enjoyed the process. But I was using Windows Movie Maker, which is good to get you going (and free), but it only does the basics.
So I had a search around and found Adobe Premier Elements (release 15). This does the lot (as far as a novice film maker could see !), multiple channels, multiple audio, picture in picture, green screen keying, special effects, etc. It was about £90 on a disc, which I was hesitant about, but then found a downloadable version for £47. I can thoroughly recommend it, and have made the rest of the videos using that. There is a bit of a learning curve but they guide you through it and you soon get going.
For a 10 minute video on YouTube it is taking me (all together, excluding the actual filming) 5 to 10 hours of editing, which includes trying to get the right music to suit, timing the videos to fit in with the audio or vice versa, editing the clips into small pieces to prevent long boring or repetitive sections, playing with the format to keep it interesting, and selecting the best bits from several takes.
You also have to think while you are machining or building what shots to take and what it is going to look like in the end. To help this before filming I've usually done a few storyboard sketches to get an outline of what I'm about to do, but this can change a bit depending on how the section of build goes as I'm trying to guess what may happen.
Once I'm happy with it there is about 30-40 minutes of rendering/exporting, which creates an mp4 file, then about 30 minutes of uploading to YouTube, then about 10 minutes of admin on the titles/text including adding the copyright information for any music used.
So, in short, I'm glad you are enjoying it because if not it would be back to this thread with a few photos and a bit of text !
This build has to be one of the best shown on the forum and i know all the guys really appreciate the time and effort you have put into your video links.
Regards
Mike
Don't you dare stop the videos, I love them!
Exactly if you stop the videos everyone will have to go back to watching normal porn instead, you know with 5 midgets spanking a man covered in thousand island dressing ;)Quote:
