Fantastic Mike! I'm looking forward to seeing some brass chips fly and the making of your first screw!

Thanks Dayton! I received my Crocker style graver jig, and I think it will do the trick holding the HSS steel bars so I can make better gravers. The 'first try' video is coming soon so stay tuned!

Mike! Look at it go! You are one handy dude. I'm still on the fence about getting a lathe, but if i ever do, i'll be sure to check out your other channel. Looking forward to you making your own screw!

I am glad you got it going Mike! My lathe did not come with a motor. I had to buy a sewing machine motor which worked and also came with a foot pedal speed control. It does not reverse so I have to flip the belt loop on the pulley when I need to reverse.

Hi John! I didn't have high hopes for this motor, and I know people commonly replace them. But so far I am very happy with its performance! I like your solution for reversing… Very clever!

Hi Angel, I feel like this project is taking forever...but I have lots more video coming soon! Busy is good! 😁

Cool! Tools. I see tools. I recently traded a watch that I had to a cool Auteur quartz watch that seems to have oil or water under the crystal with Norman from the channel Killing time with Norman. Check it out. Believe it or not, I wasn’t able to unscrew the caseback with the tools I own. So I ordered a „professional“ desk stand case opener. The cheaper Chinese one. Bergeon costs $800. The Chinese one costs $80. Even that is more than the watch is worth. But I want it to be running and looking good. Oh and I also ordered a bezel remover because I think this is the only way to really get to the crystal. I think we can call this a tool chain reaction. 😀🕐⚙️🍸

Pretty cool that you traded your watch! I have thought about getting a knock off Watch back opener. Did you get yours yet? You'll have to check back and let me know how you like it!
