Making a Crazy Part on the Lathe - Manual Machining

In this video I'm making a crazy spiral part on the lathe out of a piece of brass. I'm using this part as a pedestal for the stainless steel 8 ball that I've made. 8 ball video link below.

I hope you like my work and the video.

I’m 63 and an old school fitter/turner by trade and I’ve NEVER seen this done! In fact I’ve never even THOUGHT of doing it. Simply incredible!!

[mchall]

That has got to be one of the coolest “because I can” pieces ever made!

[MudSharkDanceLesson]

This video is the perfect example of why I love machining videos, I just wish every machining channel on youtube took the time and effort to achieve the level of cinematography that you've accomplished here. Well done

Before I retired, I owned a machine shop for 20 years. I saw this part several years ago, and thought some day, after I retired, I would make one of these. Well today was the day, and it turned out great. I'm not at all convinced I could have figured it out without your great video. Now, I have one. I will warn folks that be careful and don't turn on the lathe until you are sure the parting tool won't crash into the off-center work. I did and crashed my parting tool! Luckily, I had another one.

Absolutely gorgeous work. I work in the aerospace industry at the Kennedy Space Center. I had to show some of the machinists this video and they were all in love with the design as well as your execution of a goal and how it turned out. Bravo. 👏

[bartimisfoul]

I love how this video showed everything we needed to know in less than five minutes. Bravo!

[subbaraod]

As engineering students, we learnt the beauty of lathe machining - it is a great art - and society is indebted to men behind these machines who made our lives easier.

[nunyabiznez]

My great, great grandfather was a master machinist and wrote a treatise 150 years ago on what he called "offset cam turning." While I also pursued a career in machining, I never got any sense of what his treatise was about until I saw this video. Thanks for posting.

[Lwimmermastermetalart]

Quite clever. I’ve been a toolmaker for over 40 years. Never too old to learn new tricks. Well done sir.

[deanchovan]

I'm 92, and manual machined something similar back in the day. You do beautiful work.

[bccbuue]

I love the way that there's one disc at the center of rotation in some of the shots that is stationary as the rest of it spins. It looks really cool.

[ohla]

I used a Lathe for the first time today. Fun experience but I realised just how long and stressful of a process it is. I also burnt myself so many times because of the "metal shavings". You have all my respect for this video.

[maxcactus]

I'm only 2:20 seconds in and my brain already hurts trying to understand all the math involved in defining that shape. Just brilliant work and a proper pedestal for the 8 ball!

[Vickie-Bligh]

That was mesmerizing. I'm glad you chose it for the 8 Ball. It needed a worthy stand and you created one. When you showed those marks before, you said they would make sense and, wow, did they ever. Thanks, MM. That was fabulous.

[paulmix]

This is funny and entertaining to watch. Now I'm retired, but I worked 43 years in a metal workshop milling, turning, boring, welding and so on. First 10 years with manual machines and then with CNC and CAD/CAM. I think metal working (same as woodwork) is a bit underrated profession in these days. I was always excited of my work.

[heathyhbaby]

Ive been a Machinest for 20 yrs approximately, Went from All manuel to Pure Automated. Well watched my Company Literally Replace every Manuel Machine in the last 5 years. Now we have All new Mazaks, Nigatas, Shibauras, Toshibas Tue’s, Megaturns. We kept like 1 Bridgeport, And A couple bridgeport heads for custom Work. But this has to be the most fascinating thing ive ever seen. Ive seen some badass stuff made By old Machinests. This is dope

[newstart]

Thanks for a great learning experience with no obnoxious music, long boring and unnecessary details. The video showed all that is need to do this project. Excellent! I never thought of setting the 3 jaw like that.

[alexander-b]

I have a friend who's been doing machining for some 45+ years. He has his own shop and all. You're the second person I've seen making this kind of part. I saw him making an almost similar part for a cargo ship. The captain of the ship thought it had to be done by molding but my friend told him he can cut the piece from a chunk of metal. After seeing the part the guy's jaw was dropped. This was around 30 years ago.
Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

[HDitzzDH]

2:27 Kind of cool to stare at that one disc that’s basically stationary in the middle when rotating. But I would really love to see the math behind this. This could make for a very cool candle-holder

[armandopantoja]

I’m 22 4 years in the lathe setup and program and this is incredible never seen anything like this love it 👍🏽
