Half of a Great Idea

How have I managed to avoid this core component of a machinists’ repertoire for so long? The time has come… for gears. But I like making tools a lot more than I like making not tools. So before I can make any gear, naturally, I need to make the gear cutter. Which requires making a few other tools, too. So many tools, in fact, that it will take me two videos to finish this project. And maybe by the end of this adventure I will properly be able to say "Eureka!".

Her chamfering joke about the shave was absolute gold.

[urkince]

This man is so blessed to have a wife that will not only listen to him word vomit about his weird hobby, but actually laugh and have fun while doing it.

[wongcayven]

"You have enough thickness in other regions to fill anything out though"

I almost spit out my food lmao that caught me so off guard
And the face you made after hearing that is priceless lol

[astonmoore]

"Unless you have a well seasoned eyecrometer" has got too be the best damn machinist joke I've heard in

[gazehound]

"that's a kid's book, my love" 😂😂

[radical_ans]

Love the aftermath of a Henson Shaving ad. 10/10 would watch that guy do feats of strength at an old timey carnival.

[victormasson]

"It's a nice chamfer!"
Damn you, you won the lottery 😂

[jaarm]

the candid conversations with your wife are a very nice touch to break up the machining and keep it interesting. Love it. Great job.

[GooberLeague]

the flirtation adds a really nice touch to the video. I didn't think your content could get any more wholesome until now

[rbdesignsnh]

once again, the Henson ads on this channel are by far the most entertaining ads of any channel I watch on YouTube, and one of the few I dont immediately skip through.

[mooreevair]

I share the " I like making tools vs not " mindset.
Also I feel your feels ..I can see it in your face when you go down the rabbit hole of trying to explain something machinist related to your wife. Mine will listen for a bit and I swear she goes off into planning a beach trip that she totally told me about two weeks ago

[crrnhrn]

Your partner's joy at the first of the clicks was the "that is awesome" the next clicks were the shared understanding of all engineers at a good clicky-clicky sound and our instinctive need to make the fast clicky clicks.

[znefas]

I'm sorry but, what in the world! That setup with the boring bar insert to make chamfers is genius! There's a reason why so many come back to this channel, and those clever setups are no exception, kudos for the smart work!

[JohnBrown-cnxg]

Your wife really is a gem. In the end when you had “show and telltime” you can tell that she obviously does not really understand how cool what you have made is (why would and should she) - but she seems to really love you and makes an effort to cheer you on and appreciate what you have managed to build. That being said: awesome build!

[davidanalyst]

"If you leave taffy in the shop long enough, it becomes hard-ware" my man is a freaking dad joke genius

[FlyingCIRCU]

> Part 1

Oh hecc this is gonna be a medium-term project! And we'll be here for however many parts it'll take before we see the big picture you see.

[caidynboyd]

Small Time Machine shops are interesting in the fact that they almost exclusively exist to make bigger shops. It’s great.

[soulsolutions]

I am not a machinist, I don't even know 99% of what you say, but I somehow and enthralled in what you do. I have watched everyone of your videos minimum of twice. It wasn't until I saw the ratcheting gear cutter assembly that I really began to applaude you. Your commitment to machining, always giving kudos to your late grandfather, Who by the way I am sure was an amazing person and friend and mentor, but also to your wife and family. I am sickened by what I see in this world today and the kids who have no clue about what it takes to be a good person, which starts from the home. You and your channel mean more to people than just cutting away metal, it shows happiness is earned, cultivated and come from a place of sincerity and family values. Keep up the good work, love the content and underlying message, that I am sure not even you saw!

[andrewmuha]

1: Absolutely love your videos! Keep em coming
2: Please get into voice over work. I can listen to you all day.
3: Best ad for a razor ever. Going for a shave with that long of
You're doing awesome, and we all thank you for it!

[crackedemerald]

the "if you give a machinist a Cookie" joke was amazing actually. they never EVER stop
