Hey mate. Nice you are taking the time to video your lathe work. Plenty of people kicking you in the guts about your technique I see but I dont know who trained you. You do trust the accuracy of that three jaw alot. Get yourself a mat or soft platform for ya floor mate, ya legs with thankyou. Cheers for taking the time.

I'm another person who has been inspired to do somethings first I'm building a radial arm mill and I got what I think is a good idea on a leveling tool and as good as any tools for tool bit elevation and tailstock allinment I'm going to do a video showing the progression of every thing and if u can edit a decent/quality product I will start a Chanel showing what I come up with rite now I'm buying a 210 hobart mig to do my own welding I am a reseal ticked welder allready however I have not done any since 2004 . I'm on the lookout for alot of stuff I'm gona need like spindexter angle plates ect u am also building a full lighting system for a bike and trailer w signal an break lights as well as breakes on the trailer powered from the hydraulic breaks on the bike

It would be interesting for you to do a video telling us about your story and to maybe do a shop tour going over your machines/equipment. How you got to where you are. Like what training you have? How did you grow a smaller shop into bigger shop? And any tips for people trying to get into the trade and start their own shop. Thanks!

Great vid! Just listening to the music of the lathe and cutter is all you need. Got my machining fix for the day!

I'm not sure what sound is worse, finger nails on a chalkboard or the sound of the cutter on the uneven sides on that chunk of steel. I know nothing about machining yet find your videos incredibly entertaining and can watch for hours. The parts you repair and create are HUGE compared to others! Keep up the great work!!!

I found this video after viewing something else. The videography three years ago was excellent and even better now. I was able to follow along and am convinced of the professionalism you both put into each video. I will say I appreciate the narrative now because it makes it easier for a novice like me to understand the process at hand. I also enjoy hearing Karin comment as well. You both do an excellent job and like a fine wine you both get better with age.

The camera work so far has been amazing thanks to whom is behind the camera nice steady clean shots .
