I've seen this video, it's very good - as well as some of his others. I need to dig into his channel more

This one's fun. First time I saw this trick I had to run out to the shop and make three of them.

I was originally expecting to see another vid where a block of billet would be tossed in a CNC tool. When I realized he was doing it all on manual lathes and mills, I couldn't turn it off. I also thought that the part was just some random thing that a customer ordered for a flywheel of some sort. So, I was also super impressed by the final product. :thumbup
Thanks for sharing that one.

My brother wanted to build a pool, so I started researching something he would finish. Then I found this woman who built her family a pool from scratch.
It's long but I loved it!

If you like airplanes and engineering, Mike Patey is building a suped up Carbon Cub. There are 25 vids in the Scrappy build series, and still going. I have been totally addicted to following along. I can't wait to see this thing fly.
Every time I watch his vids, I am amazed at how good of an engineer he is. The video and sound isn't the best, but the build and engineering is spectacular. (And, yes, the fist pump is kind of his trademark. You'll get used to it.)

So, YouTube’s algorithm gave me this random vid today. I ended up watching the whole thing, and I now totally want to make a basket.

So, I'm mostly ignorant of machining.
Is that something "routine" a machinist could do?
I take it that BMW doesn't sell a laced rear wheel for whatever model this is for, or is this an extra light weight one?

There is nothing too difficult about what he did. What’s cool is that he made a very complex metal part with a manual mill and lathe and drill press. Most of the vids have people throwing a billet block into a CNC tool, pressing start, and it magically comes out complete.
The wheel is a custom one that he designed himself. He described it in the video description. The shaft drive bike usually doesn’t allow for a spoked rim. That's why he had to design and make a custom hub.

Watching me make toolpaths all day would be a bit boring
I mean, watching that, for a one off isn't this more efficient (obviously, practice makes perfect, but...) to do this than to work up the machine program to have a CNC machine do this?

Really depends on your setup, machine tool availability and experience. To do that manually without making a mistake is really impressive. Clocking all the holes correctly on a manual rotary would give me a panic attack :laughing I have so much more experience with CNC that I would be more confident programming all the mill work including the spoke holes on CAM software and then running it that way. The lathe work I could probably be ok getting through manually but with a work piece that large the pucker factor is gonna be pretty high.
The work I do now is all one off prototype stuff run on a CNC so its not uncommon for me to do all the CAD/CAM work for a single piece. Only made one of these.

I mean I'll watch Winston Moy make toolpaths all day hoping I might actually learn something. Give it a shot?

Thanks, that seemed to work. It seems as of late that YouTube is doing a bunch of weird shit to push monetizing their videos a lot harder.
There was a bunch of other gobbledygook strung on to the end of that ID I had already deleted, some of which was saving my place in time where I had last watched it and left off. Part if this monetization scheme seems to be ads for their subscriber service and personalization of viewing content. As a general observation, I do not like it.

Yeah, I think that they are slowly trying to make the free service so annoying that people will pay for the ad-free version.

Also the impression I got. Ads before a vid have now turned into double ads with extended viewing on the first one. I'm starting to walk away.
the '&t=xxx' part of the url is what allows you to link directly to a specific point in a video. the numbers refer to the time (in seconds) where you want the person following the link to begin. ex: &t-150 means they'll begin 2 minutes and thirty seconds into the video.
It's extremely helpful when you want to link someone to where the video actually begins and skip all of the intro bullshit when someone wants to spend the first two minutes talking about egg salad sandwiches.
