Given that the request was to return to a "good" condition, one can extrapolate that Stefan's definition of "good" would be most peoples definition of perfect. Watching these uploads is like being invited to a world class lecture, the most enjoyable and educational content on Youtube.

There are people with horrible skills, then people with some skills, then people that are good, then people that are really good and then there is Stefan's level . Amazing work Stefan 👏👏👏

I am starting a formal petition to call Stefan Gotteswinter : "God of Machinery Stefan Gotteswinter". Anyone else agrees ?

[JelckedeBoer]

"à little bit of work" understatement of the year. This Flott must be a family heirloom.... Thanks for the nice video!

[normanfeinberg]

Nothing to add except to say thanks for the chance to see you work in your shop.Never a boring moment here.

"Let's take some dead Smurf and check this for fit" - Who says the Germans have no humor! Excellent rebuild!

[ROBRENZ]

Very nicely done Stefan! Enjoyed.
ATB, Robin

Everything Stefan does is “precision” which is why I love
his channel, and does it with style.👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻✌🏻

"This is a good time not to drop the spindle" always great quality content with your humor, thank you, Stefan 👍😊

You should make carbide bladed scissors for your abrasive cutting needs. Would be a great project video.

A suggestion for an option other than the double nitriles I learned from grilling use - cotton gloves inside the nitriles. It provides a really nice insulation layer while maintaining the dexterity you need and still costs next to nothing.

27:00 I'm gonna call that the set up of the year! Very good!

[robmckennie]

Obviously you can tell Stefan has seen it, but for anyone who hasn't I do want to suggest people look up Robin Renzetti's video rebuilding his mill spindle, all of Robin's videos are excellent

[skipgoryews]

yes ! what he said ! we are so fortunate to have you on YouTube. You
are always in some topic discussion around our round table in our shop
thank you for that. regards Skip

Really nice job on the Quill. That will be a really nice drill press now.

Today I learned that "Dinkly dinked" is a technical term. What a glorious spring Sunday..

[Rustinox]

I really liked your setup with the electric screwdriver. Nice out of the box way of thinking.

Excellent education in the finer parts of machining and tool making! Thank you for your constant precision and for your detailed explanation and commentary! You are the finest machinist/educator I have found on you tube and I aspire to achieve 1 tenth of your skill on my own projects!!!

Thanks to this video, I learned two things, besides how to put a drill press spindle together 😉

1. I learned why and how you preload bearings on a shaft.
2. Faber-Castell makes more than art supplies. I never knew they made stuff for machinists. I happen to like their PITT brush pens.

Some YouTube Creators attempt to conceal their intellect for the purpose of humor, some just modesty. Your abilities and intelligence show brightly without effort on your part, and you frequently perform work outside and beyond Paradigms.
Very awesome to observe your approach to improvements and enhancements to machines and components.
Not a dull or boring subject to be fair, but cool none the less. Thanks for posting!
