Making the KING of All Knurling Tools (Finale) || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to my manual machine shop for the finale of the knurling tool build. I’m building this mechanical project from the somewhat famous Hemingway Kit (not sponsored) that is modeled after the old “Marlco” design. While last time there was a lot of mill work on the rotary table, this time there is still a lot of mill work, but with the collet block instead. Plus lots of quality time on the metal lathe. And maybe a visit or two to the box of shame. In other words, a well rounded project. In the end I make it through with a nice replica of a vintage tool capable of making both straight knurls and diamond knurls.

Thanks for watching everyone! Stay tuned for the next project on Friday, February 3rd. And no... it's not a larger Box of Shame! At least I don't think it is...

[joshclark]

I'm glad you showed the proper way of knurling by calculating the right diameter first. I actually haven't seen that yet in other machining videos but knowing how gears worked I figured some math is involved to get the perfect knurl and have the lines match up instead of just mashing it in till it looks half decent. This is much better and you don't get all the near misses between the lines like if you mashed it

It’s amazing how this channel came out of nowhere and was instantly popular because of how high quality the content is.

[CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Very nicely done mate! Your attention to details is next level and always striving for precision and perfection. Not sure what it says that our spare time is spent watching other machinists machining 🤣 Cheers, Kurtis 👍

[anihopkins]

Been watching your build and Clough42’s in parallel. It’s really neat watching how the two of you approach the project differently, and what you do the same!

[kentswan]

Its almost as much fun watching the 'precision' mistakes as anything else. Love this channel

[RandomHands]

I am so Jealous of your machines and skills 😍 Keep up the great work man.
Best Wishes

30 years ago when I young started working as a toolmaker, my master Håkan who saw promise in me said: "a good toolmaker isnt a toolmaker who never makes mistakes, a good toolmaker is a toolmaker who can fix his mistakes!" Ive lived by those words, and learned alot! ;-) Keep up your good work! :-) greetings from sweden!

I’m an ex electro mechanical engineer who had a nervous breakdown and as a result have areas of memory loss. Love watching your channel as it reminds me of better times. Keep on using the eyecrometer my man, every prototype engineer depends on it.

[arimadx]

There's zero chance this channel doesn't hit 1 million subs at some point! I love all your stuff man. Great job!

[canty]

Your grandad would be so proud, really enjoy watching you work things out learning by mistake and expanding your skills

[shanemeyer]

I truly respect how you actually include the mistakes you make just as everyone else makes mistakes, 99% of other channels never include mistakes so it’s nice to see that as we are all human and make mistakes, fantastic work I thoroughly enjoyed this

[Galerak]

Your renaming of the 'box of shame' made me giggle far more than it should have 🤣

[xyzspec]

I just love your intro music, it's so calming and relaxing.
It's just perfect and fits the content so well...
Thanks again for this awesome entertainment!

You're quickly becoming one of favorite manual machining channels. I like that you show the entire process including the mistakes. One critique I do have here though is I feel that A LOT of the mistakes you make are minor. Minor in the fact that they are completely avoidable in most cases.

While I was doing my tool making apprenticeship I had a very large fixture that needed to be machined much of it manually. I spent 3 or 4 full shifts working on what I thought was a masterpiece. I was so proud of it as it was a very complicated fixture with a lot going on. After I was finished I put the customers part in it to verify everything was in the proper location and it was going to work.

Well everything fit but I noticed some major features slightly off. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. I told my boss and said "hey Its all finished but something doesn't seem right. Is the customers part out of spec?" We checked it and it wasn't.

What I failed to realize was the datum for the drawing and dimensions worked off a centerline and not a corner. What did I learn that day?

ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST. Over and Over. Now I have a dedicated cart where my drawings sit and before I ever even take a first cut I verify my first datum or location point. ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST!

I would absolutely love to see a collaboration project between you, Clough42, BlondieHacks, and Artisan Makes where you all do the same project at (roughly) the same time. The individual styles you all have is so fun to watch and I feel like you all probably share 90%+ of your communities already so people would eat it up!

[dinodubroja]

Is it just me, or are you getting more precise project by project. Btw I consider your craftsmanship an artform, from design being drawn with your own hand, down to every part being made by your own hands, just beautiful!

[StefanGotteswinter]

That knurling tool came out very well, nice project!

[lecnac]

I enjoy your sense of humor and self deprecating judgement. Well done.

[shridhariyer]

I am in college rn for mechanical engineering and this channel just cements my choice of interest. I really really hope to get full use of the machine shop next semester in college and get a hold of some neat skills like you. Thank you for the inspiration. Love your content.
