for years we've been creating some of the
jankiest cooling and pc modding projects
on the internet and it was my hope that hiring alex who actually has some
engineering background would result in a significant
improvement to the quality of the aforementioned projects but every time i
ask him to do something he's like well i could do that if only i had the
proper equipment why don't you just ask for better tools instead of just making
me use crappy ones i don't think you need that so is this the last thing on
your wish list because this is one of the things you've been trying to get me to get since you started
a metal lathe would really top it off and then and a tig welder so
this is it alex woo
see me yeah no more excuses we have officially procured
everything you've asked for so today's video is all about setting up
the brand new Linus tech tips workshop
complete with cnc mill cnc router laser
cutter lathe i think we have a sand blaster
the mill's not cnc but whatever
yeah and this video is brought to you by
pulseway with pulseway you can remotely monitor and manage your Windows mac or
Linux machines from one app create your free account today at the link in the
video description
now this video can't start without a massive shout out to oh canada supply
these guys have absolutely freaking
everything and they have hooked us up with a fair bit of the gear that we're
going to be using to kit out pretty much a thousand square feet of this warehouse
unit so this is going to be the workshop
which is crazy because i think it makes you officially our most expensive
employee not compared to brandon ooh
second most expensive employees so here i was trying to figure out where to
start and they did all the work for us yeah oh i
see why they want us to open this first it's the storage cabinet that everything
goes in that way we're not just opening things
up and just spreading them out on the floor they've clearly watched our videos
so we can keep everything kind of organized
the thing about systems is that they tend to take up a lot of space
that's a mess i don't understand that yeah
this is like christmas except my parents never loved me this much i don't know
about yours oh on the envelope first to the Linus media
group team supplying your team with the equipment you need for your workshop 2.0
video series has been a pleasure from our 100 canadian-owned company to our
new friends at LMG we want to recognize the impression you made in the online world that's nice oh and a packing slip
oh so that's everything you ordered yeah spoilers holy
crap coveralls in a variety of sizes
blade feeler gauge welding gloves and everything from xl
down to my size oh nice oh that's cute
it's on like uh old pallet wood or something you know there's a shocking
amount of our viewers that don't know that we're canadian so i guess we're
setting the record straight about that once and for all yeah now they know this
is incredible once we get all this set up we're gonna have like
a kitted out shop oh yeah
we have like almost everything that we need besides all the other stuff we need to buy what other stuff i don't know
like end mills lathe cutter chums that sort of stuff
so although we got a lot of tools the storage for those tools actually was
the most expensive bit no way really yeah
oh boy we're good
yep down it goes
we remove this
we tip it back up fingers oh there we go
and
or does it say on there how heavy those things are 125 kilos
hey we did not bad yeah that's like wow that's like 270 pounds
nice yeah we can fit a lot of stuff in those and it's nice because like in the
old workshop we had those like cutouts on that board if people at least tried a
little bit okay goggles okay goggles
uh construction adhesive let's not hate on the old workshop too much let's just
say this one's better not that the old one was bad what even is this
that is a huge air compressor why do we need such a big air compressor
um that's the one that they recommended for the idea is that it's just going to
sit in a closet and we're going to have air lines around the whole thing
there'll be compressed air at all the different machines and stuff neat uh
this we probably shouldn't open yet no that can just stay cool
miller lathe mill damn don't include that so
why don't you talk us through what this is i don't think this one's from canada supply
no this is a classic bridgeport mill
it's a two horsepower one and it comes with a dro so what's a dro
exactly um digital readout so that'll allow you to have down to i think it's
a tenth of a thousandth of an inch accuracy does it say how old it is on
there nope just blue but you figure it's from
60s 70s sometime in there oh my gosh
so how much did we pay for this guy this was about five grand canadian
and it's from the 60s or 70s yep
i guess the good news about that is that um it's probably gonna continue to hold its
value reasonably well yeah these things don't depreciate at this point so the
thing that a mill gives us is the precision
and power to work with metal in a way that's not really possible with our cnc
router well it's basically just like a huge drill press so you put whatever
your cutter is in right here yeah and then you attach
whatever your work is to a vise that comes right here yeah you put a water block and then
you're able to accurately move back and forth like this probably works a bit
better without the plastic on there so if you were to build a make a water
block out of this thing are you like are you standing here for two hours
yup and i pay for that it was you probably
wouldn't be standing here for two hours because it can remove a lot of material at a time
oh like that's an advantage over the router yeah it can just like get right
in there you can come in with like a big cutter like that and just go right
across the whole top at once so this right here when i talked to oh canada
tool supply i actually put in the document as something that we don't
really need but would be super sweet and this is the sandblaster yes this is the
sandblaster holy crap it weighs
264 pounds does that mean does it come pre-loaded
with sand or is that just the weight of the actual machine no i'm pretty sure
that the like 57 kilos on top here is the sand i'm not
an idiot i know it doesn't doesn't quit well miller lathe
milk damn don't include that does it come pre-filled with sand it's like
buying a water bottle does it come with water oh oh rip off rip off
by the way buy a water bottle lttstore.com no water included what the
heck is this why is it so heavy yeah this says 24 kilos this is 50 pounds but
it's not much bigger than a poster is it just a big piece of steel
it's a giant steel plate you know what it probably is it's probably a
backsplash wow
that is freaking heavy
i think i know what those are for now
i think it's literally a steel table what to like put it on or to weld on
oh which is why it's
beside this guy right here i'm unsure if the arc still okay yep the
arc station this is just a station for welding what are you gonna weld
uh things i don't know whatever we want
yeah we're gonna weld things in search
really you have no idea you requested a welder without having
anything planned for it i have lots of things that we could weld
and slowly we'll work up whoa
so fun fact you guys alex before he worked here one of the things that made
his resume stand out is that he was heavily involved
in uh competitive like dune buggy building
there's actually some great footage of him surviving some pretty spectacular
crashes so i figured either he's really good at building safe dirt buggies or his
head is really solid either way i want him at Linus media group i thought that
it was a bit ambitious yeah okay so are we just gonna like
leave this as it is for now yeah that seems like a lot of my problem i have
straight up never unboxed a
crate like this before yeah maybe we can open that once we have more things over
here sure like there must be something that will
open it you would think that no no no no that's going to bend that
don't do that no i wasn't going to do that i was just going to move on oh
i feel like you're doing it wrong
well you do that can i just unblock this right here you sure can i think that this is supposed to go on
top of the other ones what i want to know is who are they trying to keep out
of this thing like i feel like i'm
unpacking a dangerous caged animal or something
there it is boys this is a lot bigger than it looked in
the pictures yeah
do we have space for this yeah
are you sure yeah over there
well okay then i think i remember what happened here i wanted to get the like
smaller one but they didn't have it in stock at the time
so there's like we have this bigger one
and like really if i was buying them i think this one wasn't a whole lot more expensive anyway
okay yep
this is like the shelfinator 5000.
so this is more storage yeah
so you know how right now all of our like glues and epoxies
and like does this not seem a little overkill for
storing glue oh wow
so you just like oh wow that can hold all the things yeah
like all of the things so this guy right here i believe is from 1974.
and it's a cold chester i think that one's three horsepower lathe
so this one is a bit larger than what we would have needed but the reason that i
decided on it is that it has a lot more safety features than some of the other
ones i don't know exactly what a lathe does i
don't think the last time i used a lathe i was in wood shop so very similar you
just put your metal in here or whatever you want and then instead of a chisel
you'll have like a lathe cutting piece that comes in right here
and then you just move these yeah maybe this one you move
that and then this is able to move all around in the different directions and
then you just kind of bring it into your piece of metal and give a little caddy cut things i never knew i needed
i like this one okay what next i don't know what the heck is this thing
oh it's another storage cabinet okay why don't we do that later yeah i've got
something more interesting back here though i think this appears to be a 14-inch wood band
saw so what do we need this for we never do woodworking uh that one will also do
aluminum oh which also we do have storage for
flammable goods now which is pretty sweet oh that's cool so right now we
just have like caution explodey stuff so having an actual like
legit cabinet for flammable goods is going to be really great
you know what i don't think we have to open this yeah people know what band saws look like
it's like this one right here except bigger and better okay
so then i guess there's only really this more this palette here
yeah but i feel like that a lot of the fun stuff is on this palette right here
says threaded rod why do we have so much of it
it's a end mill holder okay so this is all the cutting bits for the mill then
yep they just kind of go in here and then yeah you can just pop them out and
cool yeah oh nice our uniforms
for these projects are here shop coats
no more we're getting dirty super rugged gloves coveralls i guess
it's just a bunch of coveralls nice
in all sizes including mine right yep
small actually i wear a medium coat just small gloves can i see the small gloves this
is probably like small for like rugged manly men
yeah did we get any extra smalls then we didn't it's well darn
what is this it's blue i like blue
oh this might be like one of those water bottles that actually comes with water
in it look can you stop hating on our merch
oh fun yeah cool great just uh so it's just a
screwdriver bit organizer with a nice handy legend at the top so we can buy
more of them or we can lose some or whatever no matter what you know where they go back oh eyewash station
safety is important kids screwdriver set
uh what's in here
okay yeah nice nice screwdriver set i give it 20 minutes before one of these
is lost like we can't we can't lose our stuff this time
what is here i'm there's one yes
oh we finally have a proper tap and die set without missing pieces and does it
have a handle for the tap oh it does oh it has everything so many
people have been complaining i've been complaining
sorry steve
and they've been complaining while we've had this just in our workshop how long
has this been sitting here like two or three months
and here we have 20 kilograms of sand oh first aid kit we could need it at any
moment around here biohazard disposal vinyl gloves cool
i have got some good stuff here there we go cordless high torque impact
wrench cordless drill slash driver corded
performance what is this it's like an angle grinder but smaller
oh so a dremel it's like a dremel but with balls
plastic pipe shear yeah i wonder if that will just be like
we want to do hard light tubing it's like cordless angle grinder giant charging
station i knew you'd think of everything more
batteries more batteries more batteries you be careful with these
new soldering iron 18 gauge metal sheer
i'm going to use this for well if you get a sheet of metal and you want like a
smaller piece and you're just like cool and finally a little cute compact
vacuum there's still a lot of stuff that we haven't seen yet weld craft kit oh
that's just welding accessories so we have a bunch of different torch heads
for different sizes of wire that you might use like in
here test indica test of what
test of like how far away you are from something
so this is a super duper precise instrument okay so be careful with it so
what you can do is you mount it to either like the mill
or the lathe and then you can measure that's to a thousandth of an inch one of
the problems with our router right now is that it isn't quite flat
to the table right and with that right there we'll be able to tram it in to
within a thousandth of an inch whereas right now we can just like eyeball it
danger do not operate tags this is really
important because there's only a couple of people in this building that should
be in this building this better be like a congratulations
for making it this far nope it's a lot of sandpaper oh screw
extractor yay these are kind of like your last hope if you get one of these
out you're probably done already so i guess this our last one this is it this
is all awesome so this looks like your air hose nonsense what no this is for
welding oh this is the actual welder oh so this
is like a pretty ball and welder ideally we would have got like a mig welder or
something but we have to do a lot of aluminum stuff like that's what pcs are
so i figured that it was worth getting something that can actually do aluminum
and with a take welder you hold the filler rod with your hand
and with the mig welder it does it automatically
i personally like take a lot more oh but it takes a bit more finesse got it
speaking of finesse the way i transition into these sponsor spots this plate
makes magnet mounted metal prints that are durable and don't require any power
tools in order to hang them they've got over a quarter million different
artworks spanning a bunch of different styles and influences and with their
easy magnetic mounting there's no holes in the wall and you can easily replace
them they plant 10 trees for every display purchased and you can use code
