The Windmill Farmer

A nurturing farmer in is danger of losing his crop of windmills when he struggles against the cyclical forces of nature. Created at the UCLA Animation Workshop, with music by Nick Fevola. This film was inspired while driving back from a trip to Palm Springs, when a friend said that it must take them forever to plant and grow so many windmills. I wrote down the title The Windmill Farmer for an idea to explore later, and about a year later I started developing it into a character and story. This film took 4 months to complete from the first boards until the final mix. Watch more films by Joaquin Baldwin: www.pixelnitrate.com Follow Joaquin Baldwin on Twitter twitter.com

PART 2, YOU SAW PART 1 BEFORE!!! how to make a cranksahft from a round billet bar on a single machine, all operations are made on a single machine. Incredible machine! Austrian made, the real deal on heavy and serious machining, CNC with Siemens, real milling live tooling, plenty of optionals, custom made machine for every needs, forget about similar machines, they are just TOYS and NOTHING compare with WFL. Energy industries, aerospace industries, oil and mining industries, heavy auto parts industries, heavy industries, race and high end cars industries, all among customers of WFL around the globe.

i love the video and i love the windmills
…and this is more proof of the brain-fucking-koo-koo-shit… becase a wind-mill is for grinding-up grains and wheat… to make flower(for baking) …and then you can mix-up the ingredients to make the dough… and then place the dough in the fucken bread-baking-oven… to bake the fucken bread!!! …as in whole-wheat-bread… and this has NOTHING to do with racism or with putting Jews/Israelis/Yankees-in-the-oven…
Great, great video, but the music is above, in my oppinion! Nick Fevola! really cool work!
This makes me smile
my 18 month old daughter is obsessed with windmills after a trip to a wind farm. i have just found this animation and she absolutely loves it. thank you so much, i’m sure we will be watching this most days from now on
Amazing, i don’t have words to describe this job, really inspired
Acho fantástica a expressão corporal dos ‘desenhos’. É um exagero sem fim que fica lindo.
This is an ad for the wind industry. It makes you think that industrial windmills are natural.
Wrong, they are not.
They are industrial power stations that will definitely ruin our beautiful world.
Bravo. Touching. I loved it.
Another touching theme. I really love the stories you tell and of course the different ways you have told them. Great animation once again!
bravo joaquin vos si que sabes ´poner en alto el nombre de paraguay
good job
Very good!!!
Wow, amazing. Great job!
@Saltiag0 11 people obviously have no heart and soul of a farmer
Why there are 11 dislike O.o
@Flacksh0t Yeah, I know, but I asked about quite new video, not about more videos
Beautiful! Words can say lots of things, but I think this ones is the perfect word to say how I felt seeing this
Truly amazing , great job
this guy is amazing.<3 i loved the movie.
9 people don’t like windmill farmers.
@Tomciak89
it’s all on pixelnitrate(.)c0m
Look up in the description
I can’t wait for a new video, when will it be???
This is really beautiful I was crying a bit because it’s was so well made thank you for sharing this with us
@KEVINPOTTS1000 You replace it, step the program back to where the breakage happened, and start the program from that point. If you damaged the part, then it will have to be repaired offline or scrapped if too badly damaged. Thats the price of manufacturing!
WHAT HAPPENS IF A DRILL OR TAP BRAKES
@StickerMedia It’s not done yet, it goes to a grinder after this operation
cranks for mass productions are forged, then machined on dedicated machines, (usually more than one), main reason, keep price low. Cranks that cant be forged, (special steels or low production numbers), need to be done this way, machined down from round bar, if this is the case, then you will not find any other machine that’s capable to do the job like this. Its not the cheapest way to make a crankshaft, but this are not cheap cranks anyway!
the crankshaft is probably for a prototype engine.These kind of machines are particularly useful as they eliminate a lot of special machinery for very small quantity items.Definately this machine cannot be used for mass production of the item shown in the video,special machines have to be used
@stupidYOOTUBE car crank shafts are made a lot faster and they have special machines. this is probabaly a crakshaft for a boat or excavator or something else…. as far as i know
thats why cars are expensive
very nice
Incredible machine and part! What was the total cycle time to make the crankshaft complete? Thanks for posting!!!
Wow, the excentrics.. i love the way it is made this way, on a single machine!
this is art
This WFL M60 Millturnis a Very nice machine. There are many of special machining cycles like we can see in the video. I made also customized cycles for these machines. I did this so well that I made my business out of it. Now I do offer operator and programmer training for these machines!
This is the WFL M60 Millturn a Very nice machine. I did a lot of programming on this type of machines. I do now parameter programming even for crankshafts. Also I can offer operator and programmer training for these machines!
wow… THE masterpiece
@bigbattenberg
I am working on a Hembrug Slantbad right now!!
Fantastic stuff, thanks for posting.
I never cease to be amazed at the possibilities of this machine. I remember an engineer of Hembrug (with whom I was working on the development of their large 4-axis ultra-high precision vertical lathe), he said that the complexity of CNC programming of the WFL is just mind-boggling compared to their machine.
si no lo veo no lo creo
3:05… WOW! Haha and 5:32, it hobs the gear at the end of the shaft too! Fuck me, I gotta get me one of these machines. 2 axis lathes just ain’t cutting it after seeing this
Incredible!
