I've been really thinking about that whole scenario lately trying to figure out why it's so fun to make addition parts for your machine probably because you're saving money? I don't know but it's such a joy to make different apparatus for your own machines it's enjoyable

@@ClownWhisper It truly is. I think it has something to do with the skills learned at the same time we are expanding the capabilities of our tools. It’s the “potential” of what we can build and do that seems to stimulate our creativity. That’s my theory anyway.

@@ClownWhisper I also think that because we as machinists spend a long time with our machines, we are well aware of their shortcomings in certain situations. And instinctively we think about measures and steps we can take to fix those issues. Doing something similarly original in a field we have little experience in is a more daunting task. Just being creative and making art is difficult, fixing something in the kitchen that only our wife sometimes uses and complains about is more of a challenge. And of course there is the frequency with which the machine gets used. If something annoys you daily, you are more likely to make a fix than if it annoys you once a year. :)

"Someday you will make a project!" This is a very good joke! 😁

Great video. I learned a lot of "tricks" and techniques from this first of the series. I'm off to see the rest. Very nicely done.

...catching up on your channel, this was a great idea and the simplicity of the design was a winner. thanks for your excellent explanations as you go thru the work.

Stefan, I commend your grasp of the English language. I know that German is native to you, and translation to a different language is seamless aside from the occasional pause in cadence. Bravo! I firmly believe that multilingual people are forced to have better processing skills. You constantly verify that belief.

Nice work and such a clean shop. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video Stefan...! Much appreciated, Daniel.

Hi Stefan, another very good explained project and an excellent job.

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for what you do...

Thanks for this STEF Just to let U know, we don't stop learnin' Your explanations are good and enlightening Keep up the good work aRM

On a previous video I like very much your chuck method of taking out any run-out, I will try this on my lathes.

Great work of planning and execution. Paper towels on ways to deal with grit works well too, you will know why should the chuck ever get a hold of a rag.

Interesting project Stefan. Cheers Bengt

Wow! Amazing work. Thank you for the vid', Stefan. Thumbs up and subbed!

Excellent presentation Stefan! You are obviously a very talented machinist - I am impressed with your ability to manually feed your lathe longitudinally and get such a good finish on the bore. Doe you lathe not have automatic power feed? I sounds like a very nice running lathe. Jeff

Ujeb08 Hi, thank you very much :) My lathe has powerfeed but I have to change the gears by hand and I have it most of the time setup for threading, so I prefer to just handfeed it.

I'm having the hardest time finding a free spinning spindle like that. I know it's out of your engraving machine, but do you have any idea where to find something comparable? All I can find is powered spindles. I'm building a tool post grinder similar to yours Stephan, but with the use of a brushless rc car race motor. Any information you could offer would be much appreciated. Thank you for all your videos, they keep me inspired!!

mike: Build the spindle yourself. Model Engineer has a little handbook that gives some design examples. Or build the QUORN Tool & Cutter grinder spindle design for such. Another good source for spindle designs are ball bearing manufacturers catalogues. Design examples are usually in the back of those publications. Myself I would use my Quorn spindle because i built the whole T&C grinder many years ago.

Your problem with the soluble oil for the cutting fluid probably from not flooding the cutting area. It works best either in a mist or just flooding the area. Also, just make sure what oils work best for what kind of metal. More specific works better for that material but only for that material.

Hello Stephen I'm sorry that the voice recognition always misspells your name but oh well LOL. I would absolutely love to see your solution to a die filer. A small desktop die filer. I've seeing people drive die filers by power of their lathe and I think it's a terrible terrible idea. I have pondered different designs but I am not an expert nowhere near your level of experience and I would really love to see you do something like this I think they're a handy shop addition and they don't take up a lot of space and that's a plus.

The thermal indicating crayons? There are several brands out there, but none of them are cheap. (About $12-15 per crayon, usually - but that includes a cheap crayon holder, if that's any consolation.) Welding supply houses usually carry them, but just googling "thermal indicating crayons" should get you where you want to go. The best-known brand is probably Thermilstik if you're asking people in the trade.

please don't grab the swarf with your hands.

After turning your part i saw the stringy long cuttings around your hands your dam lucky they bid not catch on the chuck .it will drag your hand in to the chuck and make a dam mess of your hands if not loose parts . Thats dangerous .you think clean yea now think safty never get crap round your hands .
