These Will Save My Parts

Most of the time I use the 4 jaw chuck on the lathe, I also use some makeshift soft jaws to protect the part finish. But my shoddily thrown together jaw covers look like an afterthought and don't necessarily give me the warm fuzzies that I like to have when using my tools. So today I’m spending way more time than necessary making something that will look a whole lot better. I guess they will work better too… but mostly they will look nicer.

Thank you so much for showing me how to be better at my job. My trainer has noticed an improvement in workmanship and gave me an 'atta-boy' I pass it on to you. Thank you my man.

[VegasEdo]

Absolutely love the journey of making a part in order to make the next part and the culmination of using all the parts to make yet another part.

[JasonOvalles]

14:30 As a math teacher, this made me so happy to see! Also, you don't necessarily need a graphing calculator for the matrix multiplication. You could use something like Wolfram Alpha for example!

[dadbear]

Really refreshing to see someone design their part the classic way

[DarkArtGuitars]

Those are gorgeous! As a cnc guy myself it is very impressive to see how you can turn out parts like these completely manually.

[everguard]

Seeing that swivel fixture in action was unexpectedly super satisfying! With these beautiful tools you keep making, who wouldn't want to work in the shop every day?

[Trainwreck]

at ~18:20 that is amazingly impressive. Seeing a corner round follow a path like that is amazing, but seeing it done on a manual mill is something else. Your work is a joy!

[clintonhawkins]

My dad was a machinist and still has a bunch of old tools but no machines. I'd love to get into this someday. Thank you for bringing this world back to me.

[matthewdebeer]

19:10 The way the mill speed and the camera frame rate interact here makes this hypnotizing to watch. Also very cool to see previous builds make an appearance and do exactly what they were made to!

[jonahbrame]

You did an absolutely killer job with this project! That home made corner rounding tool in a boring head worked so much better than I thought it would! You really put us CNC guys to shame with your fixture design skill; that radius fixture is performing beautifully!
A couple of things to keep in mind when doing big deep pockets like that: Sometimes, just grabbing a big drill to hog out the center can be way more time efficient, and then you can come back and mill out the rest of the material. in addition to being faster, the chips already have somewhere to go when roughing with an endmill now so you are less likely to recut them and break a tool. Also, it is definitely worth roughing first with a larger endmill and coming back with a smaller one to pick out the corners and finish. Of course this is coming from a guy who runs CNC, so doing a tool change is nothing, but with the amount of material to be removed at those depths you'd definitely still make your time back.

Thank you for the hours of entertainment! I'm appreciative that I found your channel. It's reignited my desire to improve on my machining skills. My grandfather was a master tool and die maker for 50+ years and I've always wanted to follow his skills. My name is also Brandon and I'll be inheriting his lathe as soon as I can get down to California. Thank you for sharing your skills and journey!

[michaelrice]

I get so much joy watching this. It's like finding out that your philosophy professor has a machine shop, writes for SNL and sometimes plays backup lead guitar for Pink Floyd.
Genuinely entertaining yet instructional. Knowledge, art and humor.
HA!

[BadYossa]

I'm a Chef and will never own a lathe or a mill, yet I find your videos incredibly fascinating and quite cathartic. They appeal to my "inner geek" I guess. The quality of your vids are next level - matched by the quality of your craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Your Grandfather would have been proud to see what you have achieved with his equipment. Truly inspirational stuff mate.

[GulliJ]

French here 🇲🇫, in some school: machining and drawing and cleaning the workshop, encounter some motivate loss and bad mood for student, but ! YOU find the solution!
Not due to young age or young stupidity, these student just need to see your video !
All of yours !
It's more than enough to give them new energy and motivational mind to succeed any doubt and problem!
That's the way to mind, the spirit of mécanique is here
They will WANT to take in their hands those beauty, useful beauty you've cut from this huge scrap useless metal that rust in the school workshop

I want all student in world see that to be remotivate for ever !

Well done 👍 this is probably the final best item you ever machined ! ❤

[urjaman]

That self-made rounding form tool on the mill was seriously impressive (and something I hadn't even considered). And it also worked amazingly well.

[balooc]

its always inspiring to see others come up with such a smart solution to a problem! well done sir! well done!

[ls]

Excellent design. Fantastic machining. Flawless are definitely one of the best machining content channels on YT- Thanks for taking us along!

[Mourits]

What I appreciate about your work is your precision, perfectionism and that you make your tools beautiful by themselves. It is just gorgeous.

[Avrohomperl]

The added humor is fun and adds to the video. Enjoyed!

[xremming]

Watching an older video without all the excellent talking to the camera and to the wife makes one really appreciate how much this channel has grown in just a year. This is still a great video but you have really found your style with some of your later videos.
