Today’s video is a LONGER video, and I made the decision to break this process into multiple videos in an effort to make it a bit easier on myself as far as the editing and a bit easier on the viewers as far as length (as opposed to one video over an hour long).

Let me know what you think! I will get the next part up as soon as I can!

Truly an honor and a privilege to watch a Craftsman with precision equipment perform an amazing job

[ArronMurray]

I have massive amounts of respect for your dad. Patient, knowledgeable, incredible work ethic, and has a little bit of humour even when you're poking the camera in his face. He is a great teacher. Cheers

[derekkueter]

This man is a wealth of knowledge. Soak up everything you can young man. You have a master of their trade at your fingertips.

LOL - "If I try to get that last tenth, I will screw something up!" - so true for all of us!!! Loved this video!!!!

[nofilter]

That was the first time I have actually seen the process of precision grinding a crankshaft. What a neat video! True craftmanship right there.

These guys were the “real” machinist’s. The amount of finesse this takes is extraordinary! To be in tune with a machine to that level is just a testament to the skill this guys has.

I owned an automotive machine shop in the 80's. I could machine anything but a crank. This video was awesome to see what I was missing. Although I have seen lots of videos of cranks being ground, this man does an awesome job of explaining what he was doing. Thanks, I subbed!!!

[gmcmancrazy]

I love how clean you and your dad keep all the machines and the floor. Shows customers your serious about what you do

[johnwalsh]

Retired carpenter here. Not just iron but building materials have gotten heavier too. Thanks for the tutorials on your trade. I love looking over your shoulder.

[michaelmcclure]

It's a pleasure to watch a true machinist work his magic

[JohnSmith-ihrh]

Tell your dad he is a natural YouTuber! Great work from both you Men. Hope to see many more videos from you guys!

[Modifiedtaco]

I love machining videos, the math, the skill, the finesse, and the enormous amount of knowledge to have is so cool.

[Ralph]

A wonderful video, and a wonderful machinist! This is a real tribute to your dad, a wonderful teacher.

[timstanford]

It was really nice watching your dad grind this crankshaft, he is a master at his craft! Thanks for sharing

[graemeday]

This is art. Way beyond good work; like watching a pair of master gunsmiths.

"Absolutely luv watching a Master Machinist at work"
Cheers!

[knutknutsen]

To see such work almost brings tears to the eyes of an elderly ship’s Engineer.
That man knows a thing or two that most of us can only dream about!
Thank you!❤

[Andrewlang]

I’ll be honest. As a CNC machinist, this work is way cooler and more interesting then what I do. Kudos for getting the chance to work alongside pops, who seems to have a wealth and lifetimes worth of knowledge. Love the content, look forward to seeing more in the future.
