The deep purple blue color tool steel gets when tempered is so gorgeous that it completely captivates me every time it develops in front of my eyes.

[corywarshaw]

I've never touched a lathe, but these videos are so interesting. I guess just watching a master at work is always fascinating.

[agrosyntrop]

As a watchmaker i realy appreciate your channel. This is several steps beyond what i do with clocks and watches.

[ConradsStudio]

I made your scriber as my first project years ago. I was just showing it off as such to a city inspector who was checking out my new water heater, then afterward admiring my shop. (He used to be a professional machinist). Sadly, he doesn't have a shop now. That has to hurt!

[likebot.]

It doesn't matter that I'll never need tools like these. I'm just fascinated by the skill, artistry, patience and beauty of it all.

[ladykay]

Watching you is simply mesmerizing. Love it. Your narrations speak effectively about the processes without being boring or pedantic. THANK YOU!!

[BillieRuben]

Even just that tip about correcting the drift of a cut using a safe edge blew my mind. Thank you so much

[pebkac]

i think ive become enlightened. flashy gaming videos dont keep my attention anymore, but this shure as hell, did

[davidskala]

Man the stuff you make always just comes out absolutely beautiful, I've been subbed to your channel for years and I still can't get over how great everything comes out! Much love and respect.

[warrenjones]

Jewlers hammers are a stunning thing of beauty Chris. Outstanding.

[ConorMakes]

Cheers Chris, it is a wonderful thing a Maker of your skill and knowledge is willing to put it out there for us all to learn from. Thank you

[dougl]

Great video as usual Chris. Just starting to come back into the fitting and machining fold, I can't help but notice you are emphasising some very important foundations of machine shop work. This sort of work is also a great way to confirm equipment is properly set up whilst getting to know equipment idiosyncrasies. The more we conquer the basics, the more enjoyable complicated projects become.

I have found some old hand tools that I made during my apprenticeship and they have slipped seamlessly back into my daily life - and the fun fact is that buying them today would probably reach four figures.

[crazypj]

I've been a subscriber since making the Antikythera mechanism several years ago.
I'm still fascinated by the tools you make to make other things.
I was a motorcycle technician but you show several 'crossover' type tools that could be useful for small parts (actually inspired me to make new parts to repair a horn button for a 1965 Suzuki instead of buying a not very good looking and expensive reproduction)
I had never thought of using a hot air gun for blueing, that is a fantastic idea!
Thanks for the video's

[frfrpr]

Can't be beaten. The filming and editing are top-notch.

[weldabar]

I love shop-made tools, regardless of which task it's for. For me it's more exciting actually than the final product.

[desertTooHot]

Wonderful video! I've made some scribes as gifts but keep forgetting to make more than one for myself.

[samdude]

That safe-edge file is new to me and I love the idea of it. I'm going to grind myself one. Thanks, Chris!

[MadMarx]

Like my dad said, "Do as good as you can, a bad would comes by itself".
Well, what I see, was done almost perfect.

[alaspooryorick]

A surgeon mate of mine taught me a wonderful thing when we were doing some furniture repairs together. He told me that a few years earlier he had changed his surgical technique to make stop making straight incisions and said 'there's no straight lines in nature'. Just as he does to make surgery scars less noticable, I now do the same with repair work in certain circumstances.

[jeff]

Even your tools are works of art. I wish I had taken a machine shop class in school.
