 I've decided it's time for the planer This piece goes up there. I just took it off This thing is like I don't know six hundred pounds or something total So if I take it apart into three pieces, I can move it reasonably I'm gonna take this up to the lumber mill And use the lumber mills power source to power it Nice thing about being in the middle of floor construction. Okay? Tons of Blocks of wood. All right, that seems to be in there pretty good Cast iron is amazingly heavy This is the top piece of this thing the motor spins this Which spins three blades on the cutter wheel here and I don't know if you can see but These two wheels are turning that way as I do this This goes super fast So these two wheels slowly pull a piece of wood through as this Planes it and then this guy is the up and down riser that other piece goes on top here and You turn this which used to have a fancy crank that's just gone and It turns all four Screws The lift and raise lift and lower this thing Even because it does all four at the same time and this is just a base The motor goes there. I don't know what motor is going on it yet Well, it says Where is it? All right, two horsepower originally We'll see 240 volts 8.6 amps. Yeah, I'm probably gonna run it on 24 volts Since everything I have is 24 volts including my lumber mill right here, which has a nice big power supply You know what? I think I'm gonna put this right on the clay It's got this Bottom section here, which is already pretty beat up and rusted And I can put it right on the clay right there right there. Thanks, man Just move this guy out of the way Let me get one piece done at a time. I don't want to be near me for this Smash this gear if we're just Turn the thing, you know, lower it down nice and easy Get it lined up Okay, with these pieces of wood on the table They're the same height on this side on the other side and left right so When we lower that down it should lower this down Right onto its things nice and even Good Yep Don't put your fingers in there, dude. Well, I'll know when it's Done when This piece right here. Yeah, and then I keep going. These will be loose Yeah, that's it beauty Now you can take the pieces of wood out the other side should be pretty safe This thing up here is kind of nice well I'm guessing it so you can put a board on there and slide it wherever it wants to go Well that way or that way So maybe you can put a piece of wood through your air And then you can pick it up from this end put it up there and slide it that way. I don't know I don't know what the point is really Maybe that's what you do with it But I'm just gonna set it up so I get my wood put it through here and then just take it out No, don't put it there because that's What I'm not using and if I threw a match in there that would go up like crazy Nice muscles, dude All right, that's it goes this way it goes that way Yeah Someone did a really crappy Fixed job on this over here, but it does seem to be basically working I can probably run it a little bit Like this. Oh Well, this is doing nothing Well, yeah, I'll have to fix this at some point. Let me just see if I can get the thing working at first So I need a motor kind of motor don't want to put on here. Well, two horsepower would be great But you want to see what happens if we just try to push it through by hand. Yeah Check it out smoothing out a little bit of that board nice All right, I think I messed around enough to have a feel for this thing Ah 1,000 watt motor should be fine and I do have one of those And I even have a Pretty perfect cover for the thing All right, let's go see what we can do about this motor situation All right, I'm stealing the motor off my mudsucker machine because I used it for a little while but I was like It's just it makes such a mess of my boat just mud everywhere Ended up just jumping in the water with a bucket instead of using the thing so I'm taking the motor off it Now while I was in service this part got real rusty up here. It's like it's pretty stiff And before I put it on the mudsucker I took the whole thing apart and cleaned it and oiled it Oh, I'm gonna do the same thing And I will confess I have no idea what I'm gonna do for a pulley on this thing One step at a time You know last time I did this I didn't get that piece totally out of here And the magnets in here are a mess. These are the magnets One of them even came out when I pulled that out I Have it over here not near anything metal I have to glue it back in with I Don't know what I have around here something These are neodymium magnets. They're very strong, which means It's kind of difficult to get all the little metal bits out of here because they stick Magnetically And my screwdriver sticks too. Oh, I just sent a message to my neighbor and I was like hey Do you have superglue or epoxy and they were like yes, and you can have some I gotta go get it Oh superglue, okay I got this all washed and scrubbed and soaked. There's no grease Same with this guy And the tricky thing is it's these are really strong magnets So it's hard to get it into position because it's going to be pulling against the other magnets and trying to do all this stuff on its own You know what I think I can get this in there and then put the glue on it. So it's not so You know Tricky to get it in there Nice thing is once it's in there it sticks Any luck gravity, I'll let that glue go down between all right. Well, that's hardening I was gonna check my bearings that one seems great and Oh, the bearings are good excellent You know what I just realized my bulldozer here Has a nice motor right down here That actually has the connector If I remember correctly It has the kind of connection that Fits into this more easily than the the faceplate connector of the other motor And I am planning to reconfigure this thing. So I'm going to take it all apart anyway So I could switch the motor when I do that So I might Yeah, I'm thinking about taking this motor out All right, well, I only took a half an hour to get out. I do think I want to use this motor For a couple reasons. We'll get into that and I gotta put this one back together first all right Take this put it on here and then slowly let it go in there because What happens here is those magnets are going to pull on the super hard And if I let it just smash in there something's going to break Okay, at this point this piece is held up by the magnetism There's other ways and there's nothing else holding up or fall down We should slow Okay, that's it. Oh, wow, that is a massive improvement You know, this may come down to The pulley I can either find or make And which one of these it fits more easily This is the end cap from a hydraulic cylinder It goes on a thing like that and there's a push rod going through there I just drilled this out a little bit Like a tiny bit bigger And check this out fits So that gives me some options This feels a little silly that that was a good start And I feel like these things are going to be super useful At some point in the future My brain is saying a ratcheting one-way wheel kind of thing. These are the little Anyway, I'll save these That's not a bad start All right, can I actually cut an angle with this here? I think it'll be all right. Well, that's actually cutting In here Sweet, you know, if this wasn't stainless steel, I'd do it on my lathe over there But I don't want to ruin a Cutter on this. I'd rather go through a few of these. All right, this middle piece is getting wiggleable So I'm gonna cut it I could cut another line down the middle Get this out, but I feel like giving my angle grinder a rest If I make this go back and forth a bunch of times, it should Pop out Yeah, that would have been cool to get that ring out in one piece That is not bad There's some little dents in there that I made with the screwdriver Pop it out that middle piece. I could take the angle grinder and get all those out But I think they might help grip give a bit more grip. So I did cut a little keyway into this It's not, you know, the right size or whatever, but I think I can just hammer something in there Uh, that should do it. All right, if I measured that right, this thing should fit Yeah, that shiny pulley down here does not match the rest of this thing I just spent the last 20 minutes planing one board over and over This did start out really warped. Man, that is not warped anymore Wow Oh, man, I better keep this under wraps All my neighbors are going to be coming over here with their wood. Hey, Jamie, can you plane 250 boards for me? Oh, man, that is awesome. I'll slowly powered too That's great Man too bad. I don't have a hamster or something I should get one I got this thing for 150 bucks And I totally could have bought a brand new planer For 150 dollars, but it would have been a little plastic piece of disposable crap I mean I may be eating my words In the next few days, but uh, this thing seems to be doing good and it's pretty old like this was made When things were made to last it's all cast iron weighs a freaking ton But yeah, I just ran it I don't know if I'm I probably just ran it for about an hour And no problems. Everything seems to be working great Yeah, I'm super happy with that. I love stuff. I love stuff from this era You know the golden age of technology when things were made to last Before we switched over to figuring out how to make the knot last And fall apart just just as the warranty expires Oh my god, why did we why oh Once once the human race started putting effort into that that was it Whenever I'm super happy with this. Whoa, that changes some things Like I'm making this pack blank for a mold and I'm using plywood because it's smooth But I can make all of these smooth and all all those boards up there and over there smooth I can make all this stuff smooth I could have just made this with wood straight from the jungle
