Same here. I'll be proud to say I'm in your first 1k of subscribers. This video was awesome. The thumbnail made me think that you started this build with a large brass hex bolt instead of hex bar stock. Still, it's a very cool build.

Made a similar tool as one of the first projects on the lathe i bought. Use it all the time when wood working. Mine was out of round stock. To stop it rolling away I drilled the through hole off centre a bit so that the tool doesn't roll on the bench. Offset was probably only 5mm or so. By the way, your videos are excellent quality. Definitely added to my growing list of craftsmen to watch.

Beautiful item. Planning to make a knurling tool by Hemingway Kits? One functional suggestion - while a symmetrical design such as yours is beautiful to look at, you can get better referencing if the hole for the shaft is off center. This way you will have a taller reference surface, helping to keep the gauge square. Just look at Narex or Veritas marking gauges. Idea for the next video - a two-shaft version, the mortise marking gauge.

@joneseymakes

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Gene, great idea on the off centre shaft. I’d like to have a go at the mortise gauge.

Loving your channel, very well done! I think I'd add a groove on the opposite side of the shaft that you can put a retaining ring over so the shaft doesn't fall out of the handle.

I like it. I’ll make one for myself when I get my lathe (not ordered yet since my barn won’t be built until February and I’m not sure where to fit it in my garage). So what do you do with all the chips? Trash? Recycle? Melt down to brass muffins?

Loved watching, but that was a lot of waste on the brass.. Couldn't you have cut the bar lengthwise and made the whole piece hexagonal, just my thought, looks like (to me) that you could have made two of them with the same chunk of brass.. Now don't get me wrong, It is a nice looking tool.. Also on the other end you could made a pointed end and have two ways to mark with.. Thank you for sharing, I have enjoyed watching your channel, You projects are entertaining & educational.. You could use it for wood or metal marking..

Some good ideas there and something to bear in mind if I ever make another. My thinking is that if I were to do it again I would make the head and handle as separate pieces to minimise waste.

@@joneseymakes As a carpenter I have built thousand of jigs over the decades, Some were one off and others I used a lot, machining tools & making jigs are very similar. When I make jigs, I first make a rough prototype and from there I weigh pros & cons and what way to make it very efficient, cause most jigs I make final design with MDF.. I use cheap osb or low grade plywood for my prototypes.. I do understand That tool was a one off for personal use, I was more referring to making more, to sell.. Many machinists will watch this and probably make their own version, still there are some watching that would buy one if they could..

Yes, not cheap. It’s a similar price here, it’s only that I got an amazing deal from my local supplier on that length of brass that it made it worth while. I think a more economical approach would be to make the handle and head separately in order to save on material costs. Also, no reason you couldn’t make it from cheaper materials.
