Don't worry about making long videos. We'll still watch them.

Iam amazed of your machinist work at your age. Building from scratch is no simple task

Haha that ending, don't worry Chris, we all make mistakes, you're not a horrible machinist, just learn and grow from your mistakes, keep up the good work, I'm excited to see part two!

Chris. This is without a doubt one of the best channels on KZfaq and it just keeps getting better and better with each video. FYI. I don't watch regular TV, Cable, or Sat. I only watch KZfaq videos and I love your channel.

All machinists make mistakes! A horrible machinist doesn't learn from those mistakes! Keep on turning.

I own a lathe and find the bit about hot chips landing on your person to be spot on. PPE seems like the OBVIOUS solution - as if those giving you flack have never operated a lathe in their life.

It's funny and also kinda sad that you had to point out why you are taking safety precautions.

From welding a seat and steering mechanism onto a self propelled mower, to this... Freaking awesome!

As always, everything is at the highest level

i always wear gloves. its simple, just dont put your hands on the spinny bit and you will be fine. its not only the hot chips that really hurt but its also the part having sharp burrs or the dead center getting hot, or the drillbit getting hot. best rule is not "dont wear gloves", best rule is "dont be an idiot and be aware of where your hands should and will be"

Your in such a good position right now, you got a couple of awsome engines and the skills acquired to make summit sick

A vertical mill? OMG I want one! I think you just went from inspirational videos to heroic. Lol

Mad skills....Good on ya for showing your mistakes as well..

Your a very talented guy, do your thing your way. The internet is full of guys who always know everything so just do your thing. If your taking requests however this build should be one that takes the rice buggy in a race..

ive been wanting to learn how to make a chain drive CV axle for a while but could find no good videos for making one. You have no idea how much I appreciate this video, keep killing it!

Oh no! None of us have ever over turned a shaft. I am proud of you for showing the error/s and all machinists plunder from time to time ... me more than most. Keep turning and Merry Christmas!

Being honest and sharing lessons learned from mistakes makes you the opposite of a "horrible" machinist - super cool video I wish I had the opportunity to learn how to use tooling like this. Your videos also serve to inspire/motivate others to take on similar work!

Super impressive. Even with the mistakes. It's called learning.

I really like the looks of 70s sand rails

Thank You! You just answered a lot of questions i had for my own build. Can't wait to see the progress on this build.

It doesn't matter the time of the video. I'm going to start the university, mechanical engineering, and I really enjoy watching your videos. Is amazing your work. I get a lot of inspiration for future projects and I always learn a new way to do something. Thank you. I'm a big fan, is really nice.

Please use the rpm gauge. It would be awesome if you could use the front and rear tires as rear tires on a single axle, that would allow you to use the speedometer as well. EDIT: Maybe I whould watch the entire video before commenting. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm certain that it will be awesome.

You don’t have to apologize to anyone, do what you gotta do.

So cool you got a new mill. You are a great builder. One can only imagine what you can do with your talent with more tools.

Go for like a sandrail type look and make it light so it dumb fast man.

Machine work is so satisfying to watch. Great to see you stepping up your tooling game. Your putting other home brew builders to shame. Very nice!

Awesome build, can not wait to see where this one goes. Very talented fabricator. Well done mate.

I honestly been waiting for this build since you showed us the parts!!!!

Been waiting for a cv axle build!!! Can’t wait for more

You are an ambitious creative builder, with the skill set to successfully accomplish big projects. It sad that there are a few people who need to criticize your work habits with safety issues that you are well aware of that would expose you to injury. As you have address those issues, I hope they have been put to rest and fans of your youtube will realize that you practice safety procedures that keep you from getting injured. Thank you for setting the record straight, and you can get on with the build.

It's called the chunk. Great build btw! But if u keep poking on the keypad of the mill with anything other than your finger, you'll damage the board.

it's a great pleasure to be watching your transformation in skills and tool level. love the video edits too!

This has gone so next level and i'm loving it. Merry Christmas from Australia stay safe and keep these great videos coming.

Lol!! Been there done that!! Adding is so much harder then subtraction!!! Well done for showing costly fails!!!!

Love watching the videos, you have some of the best engineered work on KZfaq. I'm really impressed at the quality of your work, and dedication to doing top notch work. I'm a machinist myself and I can tell you (for a fact) that the burns, cuts and scratches that you get from the hot chips are just part of your every working day. It's little differant than putting your pants on in the morning. You get used to it!

Wishing you and your family a Safe & Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year ! Thank You for all the hours of Quality entertainment you brought us this year.

Nice I am excited for this build!

Nice upgrades next level stuff

Make it a 1 seater, lighter and faster !! By the way, are you sure the disc will be enough ventilated ? I would have done more holes

Love the Machining and the lathe work on your homemade lathe. Wow this is interesting already love it original creative.

you're really a good machinist

Damn dude. I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago trying to come up with some ideas for building a few go carts for my wife, son, and myself. Gotta say u got some skills and awesome designing abilities. I'm still working through a lot of your older vids but looking forward to see what the future holds. A lot of people I know tell me I do good work but I fell like I got a lot to learn watching u. Keep up the good work man

Great video thanks and Merry Christmas

Thanks. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Great surface finish on those pieces for a homemade lathe! Always enjoy your videos :)

Great job! Can't wait for part 2. Love the ending...lol

Wow...Nice shop. I've been machining for +30 yrs. ALL machines throw chips on your arms, chest, legs, butt crack, etc. , at least lose the gloves. Man up. That piece of plate is going to warp like crazy when it heats up. That's why rotors are cast. Make mistakes, lots of mistakes, you usually won't forget what you learn from them. Looks like you're off to a great start. I wish I had that equipment 20-25 yrs ago. You be careful, I'll be watching. Really good videos!

Great work Chris, I've followed your progress from the start of your lathe build, I can see you have dialed your lathe in a bit more and it looks to be running well, well done. Now you have a mill revisit your cross and compound slide. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't settle for that's good enough for a home made lathe. With your milling machine you have the tools to really bring the lathe up to spec. In machining there really is not a lot of room for that's good enough. I had an aprentice hand me a piece heavy plate and his square and ask me is this square enough, I asked him is it square he said just about, I said well it's not square then. Once again keep at it don't cut any corners and follow the process. I think people might find it interesting if you showed your project planning phase and how you determine where to start and why you have made that decision, you could tie in your process for costing as well. These are very important aspects or the industry.

Stellar video Merry Christmas

I have no idea why you think videos should be short. I watched Hert @ Hoonigaan bumble around with a Steam game for 2 hours yesterday. KZfaq 'short attention span' is a very old idea.

Bro ur doing so much cool shit with that home made lathe been here for a while now and uve stepped it up big time. Looking forward to 2019!

Loved the ending, brother

You're killing it man. Hats off to ya. Make this machine a fast one. That crotch rocket engine should be perfect.

I am currently building the same project. I am doing two seater. It is super fast and fun.

What ever the build is goin b sick with that 600

Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New year to you and your family. Keep producing this content, it is great to watch.

Merry Christmas 🎄!! Keep up the good work !!

Great job bro Have a great Christmas

Finally!!! Fully independent suspension; )

Yo don't be afraid to make a video with so easy length to it . We'll still just keep watching. Who complains about being entertained. Good show n Bravo. Be blessed Jah Rastafari Selassie I Jah

Awesome man can't wait to see

Great video,you got skill sir

"Measure twice, cut once"

Merry Christmas Chris from new Zealand, love the mill

Your videos are awesome dude

Muito bom!!!Gosto de ver vc trabalhando em seus projetos!!!Fiquem com Deus!!!

Whohooo :D finnaly

Hello, I really like your activity on the channel, delight us and dale, please do not abuse energy drinks, they are harmful to the heart.

Quad ricers are screwed!

Congrats on the mill. With that rotary table you have everything you need to start a high - low - reverse box for that buggy

Please build a 4 wheel drive go kart

This guy is a legend

Merry Christmas to you as well

I realy like how you make some parts from scratch it's realy cool

Marry Christmas too.. Have a good work..

Merry Christmas. Cheers from, Ohio. 🇺🇸

Great Videos Man .. New Fav Builder lol Keep Up The Good Work.. Merry Christmas

The issue with using steel plate for a disc brake is warping from heat. Disc brakes require certain steel alloys to prevent warping from use. They also require a certain design for cooling.

Stuff happens, all I have to say about that... looking forward to seeing the next episode. Merry Christmas to you, your family and all the KZfaq subscribers out there.

Merry Christmas to you too Chris. Very cool project - whatever it is! Love the home made lathe - I'm surprised you didn't build the mill...I guess it would take up too much material, what with 3 shots at machining a shaft.... :) All in jest, I really admire what you do and the attitude that allows you to do it.

Freaking sweet!!!!!

nice challenge to build a full size dune buggy. getting center of gravity right for drivability/handling is key

Haha!! About time that Honda gets a home!!! Be warned, my CBR 600 does 90 mph in 3rd gear!! Awesome going with an IRS. You need a reverse tho. Roketa has awesome IRS transaxles with reverse, keep up the good work and don't sweat the petty stuff😁👍

Merry Xmas to you Chris !

Would love to see like a 3/4 size trophy truck with that engine in it 👌 great work bro, love the channel.

Que maravilla de taller tienes,así da gusto trabajar. Me gustan tus proyectos y saco buenas ideas. Un saludo

Good video again! 👍😁

4X4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore the criticizers out there. You have your (valid, it seems to me) reasons for wearing protective equipment. Yes, certain clothing and jewelry items should not be worn while doing this kind of work, but ppe should be balanced out against what you are doing. As far as the length of your videos goes, make them as long as you need to. The first video of yours that I watched was when you made that lathe. I loved it and still like your videos, and would not mind at all if they were a little longer.

Im sorry but your not a horrible machinist, you do amazing work i wish i had a set up like yours , all the parts you make are professional looking to me . I want to build a rear end for a buggy build but will never be able to do anything as good as you , most likely i will just do a crappy solid axle , poor boy build lol or butcher we will see lol . Keep up the good work and positive attitude, really enjoy watching your vids .

Road to 200,000 subs good job

You are a genius.

Merry Christmas and God bless

What size hiem did you use for the semi independent rear on the 670 kart?

Nice Vmill👌

We're our own worse critic.You're an Awesome machinist Chris.Just wait until you get the digital controls down on the mill.I started with open lathes making front spindles for 3/4ton Chevy's.Within a year,I was training guys for CNC's.Yikes.You do much better than anyone I've seen.Merry Christmas to you,and all the fans.

i hope your ready for what your about to do to your perspective on the little engines you currently enjoy building with!! 😨 So Awesome!!!

Dam cant believe I'm one of your 100 first subscriber I'm still here bro I love your channel

Merry Christmas rule of thumb let it cool down before the final cut's so the metal won't be expanded and sneak up on the final one. I've enjoyed watching your show's for a while now keep making them great.

nice job pro
