This got me thinking of retroreflectors. Short version: I was in physics and the professor offered extra credit for anyone with a mathematical proof that retroreflectors worked. I tried using 2d trig (because, frankly, I was no good at vector math) and he looked at my work for two seconds and said. "This is wrong. But you're getting the credit because you're the only one who tried." Good life lesson.

You should totally make a machinist cube, I got gifted one from a talented machinist. It now sits on my desk and I admire it all the time. It’s a cube, inside a cube, inside… you guessed it, another cube!

When it only looks like a cube from one viewpoint??

I saw a video recently about a very inexpensive way to make a forge using mostly baking flour which creates a very low density slightly ablative foam to insulate the walls. Might be a good way to satisfy your inner Midwestern frugality and try something like casting at the same time

A blog post or a vlog update is okay with me, which ever one is easier for you.

The compactor isn't a half bad idea. Would save the heaps of garbage bags haha Fortunately I have my wife to catch me when I near meltdown. And I for her for that matter It's interesting that a lot of the design is very similar. Mostly dictated by regulations. The real advancements are in the electronics and engine management systems. They've got some pretty slick stuff these days. The team is also like 5 time larger than it was in our humble beginnings. Seems there's no shortage of helpful hands for the build now!

Brandon Sander

Thanks, Jeff!

Just judging by the comments i get from past projects I think it's pretty common for folks to melt and cast their leftovers. For the rate i got at the recycler i now know why haha

Brandon Sander

You're going on the right track 😁

Brandon Sander

I may have to consider that!

Brandon Sander

Amen to that. My wife is usually the one to help me spot a near meltdown haha Just another way she keeps this channel going!

Brandon Sander

Thank you, sir! In the throes of it now

The machinist jacks are always the required content for YT machinists haha I didn't have an urgent demand for them so I figure why not make it overkill (like everything else). You are right about the "specific" part of the cube

Brandon Sander

I like a good challenge so I was more than happy to dive into that one. It was mutually beneficial haha This cube is no slouch either... woof

Brandon Sander

Wouldn't that produce 2 sides? 😉

Brandon Sander

Noted! I think I'll try to keep up with them when there is good stuff to talk about

Brandon Sander

Noted!

Love the updates! glad to see the metal being recycled waste not want not. If it’s far enough away a compactor might be a worthwhile investment. I grew up with a self employed dad. He always said the best part of being self employed is getting to chose which 18 hours of the day you want to work. That being said you can do some real damage keeping up that pace without brakes, glad to see you making the call! Curious to know do you see improvements in the cars designs from year to year? How do these guys compare to your team back in the day?

Suspension parts turned out amazing, very nice work! The cube....intriguing.

"swarf"... Interesting, I've always wondered what happens to the chips that get thrown all over the place in the shop. With wood you can't really re-use any of it except for some filler and maybe fire starter, but metal you can melt down, so I was always curious if anyone ever saved them to cast in to new material or not. Future video maybe?

Michael Faragher

Despite the mournful wails of a Mike without a video (I kid) I guess a Mobius Strip and Klein Bottle are out. Time for a Brandon Cube?

Gerald Quakenbush

With all that swarf left over, I'd be melting it down and recycling it myself ... much more valuable that way. Time to build a backyard melting furnace?

Many people don't realize they need a break until it's too late. Burnout takes a long time to recover from. It's great to know your limits and stay within them. Plus, the extra family time will be a great benefit!

Rogan Creswick

Enjoy the break & catch-up! I am look forward to when the next video comes 'round, though!

Chris Slaughter

Out of all the machinist channels I follow on YT, I was most impressed with your jacks than anyone else's. Your cube resembles one students have to make for one of their class projects, just more specific. I wonder if I'm right. I would like to see how you made it along with other blocks as well (1-2-3, 2-4-6, etc.).

Rvator

Thanks for the blurb. You have some Fish with those Chips? Great that you can lend your time and expertise to the team. Sounds very rewarding. The Cube is looking very Stanley Kubrick…or Cubebrick? “My God, it’s full of holes!”
