I am not a machinist, but give me a block of wood and I'm a happy chappie. I have watched a few of your series now, and look forward to your next. To say you have me captivated would be an understatement. I have never seen you give a walk around your lathe or mill, including upgrades you have done. and would really like to know the branding. I'm in NZ and I am quite confident that what ever you are using is not available here, only an equivalent. You have probably answered this before, but I am sure you will understand that they are lost out there in noddy land. Many thanks for your posts, between you, Blondie hacks and this old Tony, keep me happy at my breakfast table. Cheers from New Zealand

at 22:34 did you say 1/8 of a millimeter?? 😂 awesome work btw
Planning order of operations is one of those things that requires some experience. I find that the most important question I have to ask when I am deciding on order of operations is, "How am I going to hold the part during the next operation, and how rigid will it be." There's nothing more frustrating than realizing too late that you removed material that you needed for holding on a later operation. Sometimes it's like playing three-dimensional chess where you have to think several moves ahead.
You make fine equipment and show a lot of time tested setups as well as sharing your expertise but I think your attention to these small (tiny) projects is the best show of craftmanship I've seen. I have watched just about every one of you videos and love these small equipment builds. Thank you for your time and effort to share this with us. Excellent video series.

Nice job Joe! It is anoying running into faulty drawings... But finding solutions always (well mostly) creates some additional fun. I would have gone for a brass washer instead of the plastic. Or even a bronze bushing or something along those lines. Of course the brass washer would be the easiest. Could even make it's diameter the same as the rod. I think it would look pretty nice just having a neat little golden ring between the colliding parts.
i love it when a plan doesnt come together... nice job joe. cheers ben.

I helped with the job and watched out for anything abnormal. The unit under full load was shaking the electrical panel like a paint can in a paint shaker. It wasn’t visible to the operator running the equipment. I found some loose brackets and swapped out for better vibration isolator system.

Not sure why, but when you were describing your approach to cutting and advancing the stock in the collet I had it in my mind that you were talking about cutting the threads. Was picturing lining up the threads with each advance and tapering in and out on a single point operation. Nice work though, great to watch!

As "usual", the work of a master. Did a similar thing, left hand threading, 1/4", 3" long, 51 TPI, using a live center and plunsh cutting following Your advice. But single point threading 1/8", 3" long is a lot harder. You've shown that kind of followers rest earlier. Great strategy. Time 12:35. The satisfaction You expressed, well earned. Does "Well done" surprise You Joe? Hardly. Yes, terrible what hit Florida. Unbelievable.

You just made my entire weekend, Joe. Stunning work as always. Thank you for being a tether to sanity and rational thought in a world going nuts. Very interesting plan of attack on these parts and just when I think that insane thread-without-end is the highlight, you just add more and more workshop magic with those fit-ups that are just bang on the money... and when not there is a fix till it's perfect. Thanks for sharing the train of thought behind the choice of sequence. As you say a unique solution for a unique part. I am officially starting a new category, if not already extant. Your channel is pure OCD candy. Thank you for it, good sir. :D EDIT: Only saw the end of the vid now... Sweet ride bud.

The machine models are a fantastic showcase of technique, planning and finish. For us who are not advanced machinist this series is great for absorbing ingenious ways of work holding and approach. One suggestion if I may, the plastic thrust washers are as ugly as sin, if they where cut to the same diameter as the piece that slides into them they would be less conspicuous.

Good morning Joe. Your skill and technique is so enjoyable to watch and watching your videos exercise my brain which is a very important thing to do. Now if in the middle of making that lead crew the cutting edge of threading tool just fell off and you had to stop and sharpen it would you have to scrap the parts or would you be able to finish the original one. This precision model building looks like the ultimate machinist skill.

No. A follow rest used for a threading operation stays at the initial setting. The OD of the thread doesn't change, so there is no need for adjustment.
