Holy damn that ending made me jump haha

[toomdog]

I really hope this old tony sees this. I bet he would love it.

Make me jump much?! Lol that got me, I wasn’t expecting it hahahahaha! Great job as always!

That scared the bejessus out of me,
I don't ever want to see a chuck coming at my face.
Sorta reminds me of the trade school.
Things would fly there!
You are a funny fella.

ain't gonna lie, i'm kinda freaked out a bit after i heard ole Tony voice

[TinyWorkshop]

the trick with the sheet metal is pure genius

[jamen]

Good to see some of the new generation of diy enthusiasts have taken a love to old machinery.
Attention to detail with your machining is outstanding. Very nice job on the lathe makeover by the way.
I was always told (by a machinest) never to run your lathe with an empty chuck. The centrifugal force can damage the scroll inside the chuck. Of course, spinning by hand or running at a very low rpm would be insignificant. Anyone else heard this before ???

Very nice!! Great idea for a chip deflector.

[RachaelSA]

You have an amazing skill, I grew up in machine shops watching guys that have been doing this for 30 years or more, and you are just as good as them. <3

Dear Sir,
There is nothing more satisfying that precise work. Very well done. Kind regards.

You got me there, I even went back to the previous page to see if I clicked on the wrong video!

[davidstelter]

I love that shroud around the cutter! Going to try that next time I'm turning cast iron.

[dunemaster]

Your clean shop is one to be admired 👌🏻

[mrcpu]

That ending was awesome! Worthy of TOT!.

[johngrace]

Anyone can assemble stuff...even I can assemble lots of stuff. It takes vision to be able to 'see' the finished product before you even start. Great work Ca...

Ducking awesome video man.
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey.

[Pavol-Pivka]

omg The flying chuck at the end scared me like hell.

[infoanorexic]

Damn! You now hold the distinction of being the first to actually make me take evasive action.

[thomasblackwell]

That piece over the cutting is ingenious!

[michaelbaker]

A great idea to put the blanket over the ways to collect cast iron chips. A old machine tool dealer once told me "cast iron dust mixed with way lube is worse than lapping compound". And when the lathe chuck flew off I tried to dodge it LOL!
