Hello, world! My name is Thirteen
Last time we lied to you
Actually - I am author of Engineer Bruns channel
Today I'll answer your questions
from comments under previous video
Next question from Nik Bluish
If you don't have a new Idea, where do you take it?
...shooted this scene 20 times,
but did it again
... only from one lamp,
better if you'll use softbox
Sh...t!
Darling!
Yes!
Come here, please
And don't you ever touch main controller firmware
okay
Because they already trying to make video without me!!!
Call Seven, please
OK
He will help me to make new video
Give me questions
Hello all!
My name is Andriy, and you on Engineer Bruns channel
Today I'll answer your questions
Let's begin
First question: How did I learned metalworking?
I am Engineer designer of pharmaceutical equipment
I have a Master's degree with honours
But I've never worked on this profession
Because office worker have much bigger salary in my country
That's why I worked sales manager but not engineer
And metalworking and creating a video was only my hobby
Next question: do I have any official machinist qualification?
I didn't worked on any industry plant, so no one gived qualification documents to me
But I can do some metalworking job, without this
Next question: how did I started to do metalworking and creating video?
4 years ago I was sales manager
and was an usual desk worker
But one day I had peptic ulcer surgery, and my life was changed
and I had a lot of free time
Spending it on internet or TV was very hard
So I was with a big thirst for activity
If you'll try to do nothing 7 days,
you'll understand me
So I decided to buy my first lathe
and learning to work with it
6 month later I made my first youtube video
It was really terrible, but it was my start
Several first videos was in DIY style
Later I found Jimmy Diresta's channel,
and I really liked his style,
and his approach to making video
So I tried to learn some new tricks,
and try to make my video without saying a word.
In "Hard way to draw a cat"
I first time used story-line in video
Reaction on that video was very good,
so I decided to continue this side of my work
and now I have my channel in "storyline" way of creating
Next question: what is my job for money now?
Next question: now machinist is my job or only hobby
and I still work in office?
From October 2016 I left my office job,
and now my workshop - is my small business
My profit now is only on level sales manager salary,
but this job I like much more!
Unfortunately, only video creation can't take profit to me,
money from youtube enough only on video-making costs on at best
Sure if I made viral video,
I can buy some new equipment for my workshop
But it was only 2 times from my beginning
That's why my main profit goes from selling products,
what I make in video ,
And making some interesting orders from clients
which can be used for making new video
Simple work, like making bolts and nuts - I don't take
because I haven't time for this,
and profit is too low from such type of work
But if I finding client which need design and production some thing
and he ready to pay actual money
(my price is more lower than USA or Europe machinists price)
so I take such orders and do my best
Next question: what machines do I have
and how many time I spended to make my workshop
As i already said,
3 years ago I bought my first lathe
It was USSR school lathe, model TV-4
Year later I bought milling machine,
model 675(small industrial type)
After this I bought drilling machine,
bandsaw and second smaller lathe
My workshop is often called...
My workshop is often called....
My workshop is often...
very often...
sh...t!
My workshop is often called basement....
My workshop is often called a cave, because...
My workshop is often called a cave, because
it is in a basement of my house,
and previous owners used it for poultry
Making workshop was step by step,
so every time, when I has a money for interior design, I spent it for new equipment
Next question from my Australian Youtube coworker Jas Creations
He asked how did I get my machines in my basement?
That wasn't easy,
we dismounted all machines
and pull it down with some adaptation
...rail...
we putted some special rail on stairs
and pull down parts by rope
Question from Vladislav Maklakov:
From what should I start to make workshop?
And how can I make it comfortable and functional?
Vladislav, is my workshop look like some comfortable and functional?
Making good workshop should start from building project
But such way can use only that persons,
who work long time in this busines
Beginners, usually use that placement, what they already have
Its can be basement, garage, backyard or even balcony
And usually you buy machines first,
and then make workshop
I like modular principle
when you make one workplace in it own corner
I have corner for turning lathe,
milling corner, drilling etc
Also I have some requests to show in detail my workshop
But I better make single video for this
Next question:
Where do I take new ideas for my videos?
I have another problem:
I have a lot of Ideas, but haven't time for them all
Because most of my time I spend on "making money"
and upgrade my workshop
When I starting new project
I choose most actual and most urgent idea
And some of projects I make same time
Next question:
who is author of scenario and producer of video
Main part of work I make myself,
but also, I have a good team
I has different moments in my life:
some time was good, some was really bad
But I have great luck with my friends
They all are became apart of my family
And I'm very prishiate them
Sure, one of my best friend - is my wife
That's why, with such team, making a bad scenario -
would be a shame
Every video I make on few levels:
first - technical project, and technical scenario
I do it for making technical part of metalworking more interesting
Next level - storyline scenario,
which tell you reasons and story of making product
And last two levels is
easter eggs, and quests, for people
who love to find secret storyline
and guess some puzzle
Usual I make technical side of the work
and then we starting to find good storyline for this work
Brainstorms with my wife is a main part of creative work
She can generate few great ideas in finished scenario
And generally change main idea of video
Same situation I have with my friends:
we spend a lot of time while discussing storyline
But you shouldn't forget that we all are amateurs
and don't have special knowledge and experience
in creating of videos
That's why, sometimes we make mistakes
and you see not what we mean
Example: in video about spinner
repairing terminator looks like surgery operation
Or in "Cat ring" video
not many people saw cat profile at cross section of metal ring
Question from Eugene Loss:
How many people work in your project?
Me, my wife and one of friends
is on an ongoing basis.
And 3-4 my friend help from time to time
or work as an "actor"
Mike Boss show asked:
What is your main inspiration in video making?
I have an overactive imagination from childhood
When I was a kid,
I liked to tell fictional stories to my friends
Especially after reading interesting books or watching films
So now i have opportunity to show this stories to you
And I very happy that you like it
Next question is about my future projects:
What do I planning to do?
Trust me: I have lot of great projects in my plans!
And I really want to realise them all
But, as i said, I don't have much time for this now
I hope, that in future, I'll can take assistant
Who will take "making money" work on himself
And I'll can work on creating videos all my time
Believe me, I'm not complaining
Process of my evolution is very interesting for me
Now I'm glad, that I can create video
and I don't need get back to the office work
because I can earn money with my present work
That's why I have some goals
and I work on it
So some day, I'll can make more videos
If we talking about workshop plans:
I want to make its bigger
for two people will can work in it
That's why I want to buy one more lathe
bigger than I have
and one more milling machine
with size like this, or little bigger
I don't have much money for new equipment
so I'll buy used
And I will be happy if it will be not USSR machines
Can you believe:
first time-machine was made in 2034
and this idiots
until now can't give me
Japan lathe from 1965
and German mill from 1930
What can I do? I intend to file a lawsuit.
Next question: do I want to buy cnc machine?
Sure I do!
But everybody know price on such machines
And everybody understand that
it is very hard
and very distant goal for me
Even if I make cnc myself
I'll need much more orders for covering costs
So it's not my level right now
Sure I'm dreaming about good cnc machine
I would be able to do amazing things on it
But it's only a matter of time
and I hope that someday I will have it
Next question: what is my favorite material?
I don't like only something one
Duralumin, bronze, brass, titan, ebonite - used very often
Expensive metals like gold I don't use
because it's need special equipment(you can't throw away golden chips)
Design is more important than materials
I don't really good designer
but I try to learning
Next question from Keys Keeper:
Do all Youtube metalworkers have some cooperation?
I watching many metalworking channels
but I know nothing about some global forums or chats
May be it will be very interesting
But there is no man or organisation, who will gather everybody together
I want to make some collaborations video with other channels
But this is hard work, because
simple video not looks good
and making good collaboration - need deep knowledge
of aspects of work another blogger
Max and Sergey asked:
Do I have in plans making education video?
What can I teach?
I started from DIY videos
and its was not very good
Also you need to remember,
that I don't have special education
in metalworking and creating video
And I often can make elementary mistakes
you can find this in my videos
And some real professionals don't like this
So if I'll make educational video
I can put my mistakes in it
It's not very smart choice
Maybe someday I'll make life channel
And will try to do such format of video
But now I don't even have a free time for this
Katalist and Taurus asked
about secret easter eggs in video
Is this random or there is some system?
My easter eggs - this is a way to say "hello"
to that people, who watching my videos closely
or watching it several times
Sometime this is reference to previous videos
or another youtube channels
And sometime - this is secret story
which is going on several videos
For example: Stalker story
or Terminator doll story
which was solved only one or two people by the all time
When you write in a comments
that you find easter eggs - I'm very happy
Because for me this is look like
more personal speaking with subscriber
Carl Z and Shimen asked why I don't make a lottery?
Lotteries on youtube - is the
usual way to find more subscribers
on your channel
I don't want to make my channel bigger only by that way
That's why I don't planing to make lottery
But I make quests.
This is secret puzzle in easter eggs
and when you solved it, you can win a prizes
They can be open and secret tipe.
About open quest I usually write in a comment
Also there is secret quests
For example: there is a way to buy my products
with 2-3 time lower price
But only one man from France found this way
If quests interested you - write in comments
and may be later I'll make video when we will talk about it detailed
Question from Valentine
How much time takes shooting and editing video?
When I work peacefully, and not distracted
shooting video takes about 2-3 weeks
Sure for some videos can need few month
but this can be not often
Editing usually takes 25-30 hours of work
Making scenario - from one week to half year
Depending of the importance and the urgency
Arvid and Lewis asked:
Can I do more video?
As i said - this is a matter of time
Hope I'll can make more,
when I'll hire assistant
Now I'm much closer to this goal,
than year ago
But I still need some financial
and organisational evolution
For creating video better and often
First 2 years I shot video on old point-and-shoot camera
It was very uncomfortable, because
it can take maximum HD video
and only 10 min length
6 month ago I bought
Panasonic HC-V160EE-K for 200$
so now I shoot video easier and much faster
Someday I'll buy and use 3 such cameras,
and video shooting will be even faster than now
So I need time, for make this goal real
Another way to be faster - make a big team
but this is a level 1 million subscriber channels
And sure I don't want to make faster and worse -
it's not my way
Next question from Vasiliy:
Why do you make such short video?
There is two reason:
first - bigger video takes a bigger time
second - youtube viewers like
only short videos
You often ask me to make real time video
and I possibly make it someday
I'll make my usual format video
and real time video
Trust me, it will be big few hours video
and no one will watch it
That's why i making only 3-7 min. video
But with good dynamics
and audience retention
I trying to make interesting short videos
Eugene and Voron asked:
Do I planning to make a sequel for Stalker story?
I don't planning to do this in the near future
Possible, will be some easter eggs with this theme
But making full Stalker story
will be hard to make technically
But if I'll find easy and interesting idea
sure I'll make sequel
I have many questions about name of my new daughter
She's name is Ekaterina
and she is real baby(not artefact copied)
Freddy asked: Did I have any injures myself when i worked on my machines?
I had only small cuts on the fingers
The point is that I'm alone in my workshop
and if I wouldn't be careful -
I can die
Because no one can hear me here.
That's why I always very careful,
know and using safety rules
I have one fun moment associated with this
I'm very fearfulness when I work on machine
and If somebody came into workshop at this moment
and trying to thunder down the noise by his voice
I'm extremely scared every time
And they all think that this is very funny
Now they trying to warn me when come
Alex wrote in comment that now, when he watching "Fallout Red Rocket" video
he understand that this was a hint on a second daughter
Yes, it is
And question from him: When my wife will be in video with her face?
When anybody come in youtube
and trying to be an amateur actor
can pe positive and negative reaction of viewers
Can be trolling, hating ets
I'm ready for such reactions on me
Trolling or hating make me laugh,
because if you don't have haters - that means that nobody watching you
But i don't know what will be reaction of my wife
If she'll want to kill some trolls - nothing can stop this women
Second reason: It's very hard to make even one scene
with faces amateur actors
We need to do much more directors job, and actors job
So one scene we can shoot 20, 30 or even 50 times
for taking good result
That's why, every new face -
it's a lot of hard work
Alexander asked: why my wife is always "angry" or "bad" in videos
We do this not specifically
we use "classical" family humor:
"angry wife and poor husband",
when making scenario
You're not first, who talking about this aspect
We'll try in some videos make my wife more nicer
Sam asked:
what my wife see in me? Is it metalworking skill?
I'll tell you one thing
Brain - is a most sexual sex male organ
So if you have enough brains for make a family
you should find some brains for your family care
Sure I'm lucky man, because I found this woman,
but I always remember, that making strong family -
is the thing what always I must to do
There is many comments on this and other videos
with suggestions about a things what I should do in next videos
Write me everything, what you can imagine!
I'll copy all in my tasks
it's pretty big, but
maybe I can choose you wish, when will start new project
if it will be actual at that moment
Vishnu Mistry ask:
What the hardest thing I have made?
Fallout Red Rocket was hardest
It was 2.5 month of work, without weekends
Its scenario is not simple, and I was needed few rockets
for making good storyline
And every rocket was a considerable work
Question from Bogdan:
metal blank, what you dug out, you took it back, or left it in bushes
I saw few answers in a comments, but I'll tell you mine
That was "Metal Dreams" video
And here is that situation:
I was making fence on my backyard
and when we was digging a pit - found that blank
Was developed idea and scenario
it was one of first storyline videos
And we started to shoot it on camera
When was ready first and last scene
I took this blank on a lathe
and it turned out that this is cast iron
Cast iron - is very dusty and dirty
material in metalworking
And making mill from it - not the best idea
That why I had to buy same size steel blank
and continued to shoot video
with new material
Now this cast iron blank using as stand to one of my camera tripod
and mill what i made on video was not very good
so i used it as a blank in other work
Archer asked: where should I work:
machinist, with chance to become an adjuster-engineer in future
or technologist, with chance to become an engineer designer
And his main question:
Should I stay in metalworking, if I only ending education
My answer is:
smaller your own business will give you
more money than big mercenary job
That's why you can learn machinist and engineer profession
but will be better, if you will try to make
your own metalworking business
If you have garage, backyard or even balcony
you can buy hobby lathe
and step by step make your own little busines
And one day you will see, that your lathe give you
more money, then mercenary job
but your hobby works take less time
At that moment you can leave your job.
I think, that this is better way
It's can't be very fast
and can take few years
but this goal worth it.
TerraGamer64 asked: will I take fan requests?
Sure, why not
I always trying to answer on Facebook
and reading all comments on youtube
Sure I can't answer everybody on Youtube
But on Facebook I have not so many friends
and I can answer everybody
Emma, my colleague on youtube and metalworking asked:
How do I make threads on milling machine?
It was in "Stalker's bolt" video
Main difficulty was in choosing spindle speed
and feeding speed
Feeding I turned on when spindle was in same position every time
that's why cutter make one thread every time
There are more easy ways
you can use dividing head of rotary table
some mills have special transmission
and you can use it with change gear bracket
for moving rotary table or dividing head
I chose another way - it was better for video
Copasetic216 wrote, that he likes music in video
and asked: do I play music also?
Unfortunately - not.
I have no ear and no voice for music
So I only listen, and not play music
Choosing music for every video takes
about 3-4 hours
I just take a library
and listen every track while video playing
if I see that rhythm and style suits for it
I use it
Sure, now I using only royalty free youtube library
but it future, when I'll have enough funds,
I'll buy some tracks for my videos
Because now I can find good track for video
as example: Rammstein, Limp Bizkit of Disturbed
and I know that this track is perfect for video
but if I use it - I wouldn't get monetisation on this video
And wouldn't have any funds for next video
That's why now I use royalty free music
and in future, when I'll be on higher level
I'll can paid for better music
or use famous music, which take video monetisation to singer
Jon3volt asked: did I had unsuccessful takes while making video
In all videos we have at least one moment
we call it "stuck!"
It this moment we can shoot one scene
20, 30 or 50 times
This can be storyline moment
or some technical part of the video
when I just show component in my hands
And "Stuck!" moment we have in every video
We just keep shooting more and more
until we get good result
My friend Tagatube ask me to show
few working moments of making video
This can show to subscribers
why I make video so long
and how many effort I need to waste for this
I was thinking about this
but now we can't do this
because for such video we need one more man
who will make backstage
So maybe we'll make this in future
Now I only can do
blooper reel or something like this
If this will be interesting for you
Troye Stonich asked: how do I make title of the storyline video?
This is usual part of my work
it takes 1-2 hour
I make few variants
and then take a best
I'm try to learning in this part of my work
And I hope, in future it will be better than now
RivalThe FP asked: why did my friend got, mad at me
in spinner video
By the story of video, that was Terminator
Sure he is not real!
And because many grown people don't like spinners
I think, he, as a good terminator, hate it too
That's why he kicked me it the end of this video
Also this series has bad firmware
and lagging very often
PoSev asked to tell about drunk guy in "Stalker's bolt" video
In beginning of the video he is getting up from snowdrift
This is example of one of my mistakes in video
I planning to make something like screensaver
Morning, dawn, snow and russian drunk man going to work from snowdrift
I failed with dawn
and with all scene
That's why most of subscribers don't understand
what's going on this part of video
This is good lesson for me
and I hope, that I'll do not fail again
Alex asked: Is your first lathe good or shit?
I'll tell you one thing:
any instrument is good,
if you know how to use it
If you have heavy industry lathe in your workshop
my lathe will be piece of shit for you
Its made for school, can do only 3 threads
It's not very accurate
and have not good inflexibility
But if you will learn work on it
working on any other lathe will be easy for you
I use this lathe 2.5 years
I learned to make any possible works on it
and can tackle all the problems of this lathe
And working on new China's 180x300 lathe
which is not very comfortable for many beginners
is easy breezy for me
Because I saw same problems on my first lathe
and working on heavy industrial lathe
will be also easy for me
So I can tell you about any lathe:
if you know how to work on it
and have experience
you'll can work with all it weakness
If you don't have experience and don't want to learn
will be better if you'll buy new heavy lathe
But more often first lathe - is a hobby lathe,
sometimes its need repair, but have a good price
Then you learn to work on it, make first money
and only then buying a heavy lathe
Alim asked: do I have some wear of my first lathe rails?
I'm very careful with my equipment
I'm often lubricate it
may be too much
My first lathe working already 3 years
Wear of rails become bigger
it was 0.05 mm, now it 0.07-0.08 mm
For such lathe - this is great result
because I now examples, when same lathe
can take 1.00 mm wear of rails only after 1 year of work
Petr wrote, that he bought same lathe that I have
And asked: What oil he should use
But he called me Igor, may be got mistaken
Also he asked was my first lathe working condition or broken when I bought it?
I took lathe in working condition
it was being used, but repaired
I had choice: buy broken for lower price or buy repaired
which will be ready to work
Because I hadn't any experience at that moment
I decided, that bigger price was worth it
I have no regrets
I didn't have any problems
About oil - I use industrial №30
as instruction says
Mr. Glorum asked:
Did I disappointed in my new 180x300 lathe?
And did I make some "upgrades" of it?
I'm very satisfied with this lathe
I took it for some special orders
It was party of orders with very small sizes
And my old lathe was not very good it this work
This smaller lathe was much better for such metalworking
And I make some money with it
Now, when I work with blank smaller than 30mm.
I use this lathe
This is good instrument in small size turning
It's not very strong
and I don't make hard rounding steel on it
But when I need accuracy on small size - i use only this lathe
Aleksander asked: What is the date today?
Is it joke?
Ok, today we have 8 Aug
Seven!
Today is 36 or 75th?
- 2017.
sure - 17!
John Grammaticus asked:
What is the best brands in Eastern Europe can search?
And is there any good post soviet tools still available?
Old USSR tools have only one point:
this is - low price
Modern instrument, even from China
is much better
Today old USSR cutters and mills have very low quality
There is only one good side of USSR instruments
this is - repairability
and durability
If you'll be lucky to find not used USSR lathe or mill with low price
you should buy it
Everything else: cutters, mills, methurments etc
very hard to find in good condition and quality
Often easyest to buy modern China instrument
not the cheapest,
and it will work better
Sergey asked to tell, how I mounted 180x300 lathe.
This is easy: height of the handwheel
must be on your elbow level
I mounted lathe on rolled steel channel
Because it have very lightweight and can stagger while work
Distance from edge of table to lathe must be no longer than 100-150 mm
You'll cat put cutters at this place
but don't need to bend down while work
Serger wrote, that he has China's lathe too
but little bigger
And asked: "how he must work for cutoff cutter do not broke"
It's a hard question for beginner
because you need experience
You need to training in cutter grinding
or buy cutters with changing inserts
Something like Korloy or Mitsubishi
Also you can take inserts for aluminium
they have smaller sharpening angle
This is may compensate low inflexibility of a lathe
I wasted many time for taking cut-off skill
Also you can set minimum rpm of spindle
and use good cutting emulsion
which can make cutting force lower
and cutting will be much easier
Red Gigant asket to tell about my milling machine
As I said, this is USSR mill, model 675
made in 1961
There is video "My new toy" on this channel
when I show how I bought it
It's not bad mill,
notwithstanding on wear of rails, but I like it
Maybe I'll make full review on this mill in future
Dmitriy asked about a pistol, which was in a spinner video
This is copy of some Walther model
I bought in only for video
and it's not real
Because if you doing metalworking,
you can't do something with a gun, it's out of law in Ukraine
And last question for today from Roman:
What better use to cutting aluminium sheet?
I think the best will be laser or lightsaber
if you don't have it - use fret-saw
That's all for today
Thank you for your questions.
It was great pleasure for me
Hope you'll stay with me at this reality
Good Luck!
Hot day today
If you watching until this moment
only 10-12 people left here
and you want a quest
You will have it this time
And hope it will be hard for you
Main question is:
If my name is John, what is my surname?
You must know, that answer is not "Connor"
Find my mail and send me an answer
Third man, who will send right answer, will take a prise
Good bye!
