Home Shop Machinist Tour: Stefan Gotteswinter!

Stefan Gotteswinter is a full time prototype cnc machinist by day and manual manufacturing entrepreneur by night. This 6'7" German lives and breathes machining. I first met Stefan at EMO and now I finally get to see his shop! He is the absolute king of nift and getting the most out of his machines. The delicate and precise work he is able to with MANUAL machines blows me away! Come have some laughs with us at his home shop in the quaint town of Beratzhausen, Germany where Stefan's talent, skill, and passion shines through.

I'm a bit disappointed with the video length, it should have been longer!!!

I love to watch Stefan, his attention to detail is on another level and he slips lots of jokes into his commentary, What more could anyone ask for. He's an inspiration to machinists everywhere.

Thanks John for the content.

Stefan is so bright his doesn't need to light his shop, only for visitors. HAHA

[EnergyWell]

Stefan Gotteswinter is my super hero! The pride and passion you take in your trade is inspiring.

What a super nice guy. That was such a positive visit & video, thank you both. 👍👍

For anyone curious, Grade 23 Titanium is also referred to as ELI (Extra Low Interstitial). Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al4V) is the most common machining grade of titanium, containing 6% aluminum, 4% Vanadium, and trace amounts of other elements like iron, oxygen, etc. Grade 23 is the exact same formulation, but with a much tighter tolerance on the allowable amounts of those other trace elements which are referred to as interstitials, hence the name. If you've ever broken a bone and had a screw or a plate put in that was made out of Titanium, there's a very good chance it was grade 23. Loved the tour!

While I can appreciate and respect John Saunders evolution and ongoing success, Stefan is my favorite "go to" home shop machinist guru. Such an uncompromising perfectionist. To be fair, TOT gets the nod for the entertainment and educational double header.

Nice to see Stefan's shop from another point of view. Thank you for sharing the outdoors. Lance & Patrick who are glad John you took the time to visit both Stefan and TACrafted.

[ROBRENZ]

Awesome tour and interview! Nice to see the whole shop at once and more than just Stefan's hands..
Thanks John and Stefan.
ATB, Robin

Probably the most interesting tour you have ever made john, rather than masive industry shop tours on the most up to date machines only accessible by a few, this down to earth guy shows what can be done in a small basement shop with modest machines, good tooling and a lot of knowledge. You can see hi is really tuned in to what he likes and does. We need more videos like this. I for one would be gratefull

Stephen is a rare bird. I love watching these videos. All his work is beyond exceptional. He creates a level of work to strive for. As a hobbyist, there is so much value contained in these videos. Bravo!

[DavidHerscher]

I have watched this video so many times. I know Stefan has moved shops and upgraded much of this equipment now. However, to me this video is a perfect demonstration of what a master can do with "less than optimal" tools. Stefan is legit my hero. I aspire to be like him, he motivates me, inspires me, and makes me believe i can also do great things.

Stefan is the kind of person that makes the world go around. So intelligent and skilled and clearly a super nice guy.

[arnljotseem]

Fun to meet the more informal side of Stefan. His videos are the best I think. So many things to

[warrenjones]

I always enjoy Stefan videos. And this is like Part II of the Home Shop Machinists Podcast you guys did a while back. Lots of fun

[HeimoVN]

Two of my favorite channels on youtube...

[MadHatter]

This is a million times more interesting than watching CNC machines moving around... Real machining, real skill.

[bcbloc]

Stefan definitely gets a lot out of his workspace. Some of us like to work on parts that need a crane to move while others like ones you use tweezers for. It takes all kinds and I enjoy seeing it all!

[halheavyduty]

Loved this video. Stefan is an exceptionally skilled machinist and his home setup is brilliant. Love the old engraver / copier.

Great video. Thanks for making it mate.

[mxcollin]

I knew this guy’s shop would be full of nothing but super tight, super precise, perfectly operating machine tools. Hell of a home shop Stephen!

Excellent workshop tour John, many thanks for visiting Herr Gotteswinter, always learning from Stefan, never disappointed.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
