Hi Nigel. Thank you for making this for me. It has been running flawlessly! Your dedication to a quality product is to be admired.

Mr F is jealous of your shaper, I'm jealous of your entire workshop Thank you it's a nice break from your lion.

Makes me want to buy a WM12 just so I can order one of these from you, quality machining on those fixtures sir .

Hello Nigel,

Take care.

Excellent job Nigel, you really do like a pneumatic fit don't you lol! And why not! Love the keyway operation, nice fixture setup and great surface finish. Cheers, Jon

Gday Nigel, I must have a look for that book, the next build I’m thinking of doing has 2 gears to be made, perfect timing for this video, always enjoy seeing the shaper in action, really keen to see part 2 mate, Cheers

Hi Nigel your videos are always a joy to watch I’m a beginner with machining only been at it for 3yrs made some good tools and things but your videos have helped push my quality a bit higher than when I first started I was impatient and wanted it done ASAP now I take my time and I have seen a huge change in how I use my lathe and my time I have better quality items now and a better understanding of the materials and techniques used by all you YouTube creators I thank. You all amazing community of engineers and machinists
Could I ask where I would be able to purchase o;e of these books god bless

Nice one Nigel, That Ivan Law books a real help for anyone wanting knowledge of gears,
i'm just on with making a gear for my lathe at moment, i still want that shaper of yours!!!🤣👍 i'm cutting the keyway in the lathe, not as convenient, look forward to next part.
Take Care

Now that's what you call tight tolerances...

[williamsworkshopuk]

I'm considering a dividing head in future - is this a Soba/SCT BS0 or a Vertex one? I'm not sure where the extra £500 goes with the Vertex heads....

I like how you approach the problems making the right tool for the job. (No short cut Harry.) Also all plastic gears for mills and lathes should be banned they are bloody rubbish. The manufactures need to stop putting cheap gearing into all machines for we pay good money but are ripped off with cheap plastic toy grade gears.
