We Built A Railway Bridge With A VEVOR Mag-Drill

Making a bridge for the narrow gauge field railway was a great challenge - and it works, so that's good enough for me. Those wood-chip wagons really are heavy by the way...

This is such a fun project to watch come together

That mag drill was pretty efficient at drilling, I do not need one but I still want one.
-
Finally time for a small creator like you to get some help with capital intensive projects like these.
-
I would suggest drilling a pair of holes in the top of the girders and putting in a bolt for the wheels to hit...just in case your locomotive doesn't behave one day when you tell it to stop.

Placing a 2x10 plank or diamond plate steel in between the bridge rails would make it easier to walk out onto the bridge to spot your drying wagon. Adding a ship ladder off to the side of the bridge next to the chimney would make it easier and faster to get below to open the trap doors of the wagon. You could also make a small platform at the top of the ship ladder so you can add hand rails to the ship ladder without fouling the rail car clearance.

The bridge on the river Kwi needed you. Well done sir. Remember what happened to sir Alec Guiness. Queen and country first always. LOL.

Now you need a “No Fishing From Bridge” sign. Good work!
-
Best tool review EVER. No faffing about with technical specks. It's yellow and it works.
-
My feelings about product advertising as part of YouTube videos: It's great! Thank you for including it in your video. It gives us a chance to see a product in actual use rather than a test someone created.
-
I yelled in excitement when i saw you uploaded (alone of course 😅) because i love you're content and I'm also so happy to see you got a sponsor!
-
Supporting smaller channels is an excellent way to market. My next drill will definitely be a vevor.
-
2:16 good welding job on the brackets!
-
My favorite project on Youtube right now.

Brilliant as usual. Low Tech Magazine should name a "Hero of Low Technology" every year. I nominate Tim if said website gets around to such an accolade. In a low tech world a mag drill would be shared around to help with ingenious, low-impact yet high yielding projects like Tim's. Big question: did the center plug come out easily when the hole was finished?
-
Wooohooo! It's about time y'all got a paid sponsorship! Bravo!!
-
Of course, this is designed to be a working railway with specific jobs in mind, and the goal I'm sure is for it to earn its investment back with the ease of processing all that wood... but I can't help but be disappointed that the rails are ending there, rather than taking a scenic tour around your beautiful land! Perhaps if you get some more good sponsors :)

Hey!!! Vevor also makes a high pressure compressor that would work for your locomotive. They sell them on amazon for 180 usd and say they are good for 4500psi, they might cut you a deal on one 😃

It's only a matter of time until you get a visit from Tom Scott!
-
It's the quixotic little things that make these projects enjoyable (and life worth living). That stop sign is the icing on the cake.
-
Looking good... Glad to see some sponsorship that's genuinely helpful too! Well done.
