Thanks Joe :)

Setting up in the 4 jaw chuck with a centre between the centre mark and tailstock centre is brilliant. I'll be using this technique regularly in future 👍

I do like the way you present your video's, nice old fashioned way.

The intro music clip really sets the tone. I feel like I'm watching a PBS educational special from the 70's. My mind's reaction is "I'm paying attention and ready to learn something."

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Ade, Good progress, I think I may have to go for the granite chopping board option until my budget can stretch to a surface plate. Take care Paul,,

Thanks Paul, the chopping board has served me well, and I can still use it for the carrots when needed ;)

Interesting to see you use a woodworking router bit so successfully. Must remember that. 👍😀

Oh I wish my height gauge had an erase function! 😳

"Join me in Part 4..." But part 4 hasn't been released yet. Oh well. Patience is a virtue they say. Looking forward to it.

@@AdeSwash I know. I guess the comment didn't come off right. My apologies. What I was trying to convey was that I was enjoying the series and really looking forward to the next one dropping. Thank you for your sharing and teaching.

Looks like you have a Dore Westbury mill there. I like the versatility of the DW mill... it’s my quest machine, mostly due to space limitations. I know these mills are ‘home machined’ from castings. I’ve never used one. How do you rate them as a home workshop mill?

Hi Harry, I love my Dore Westbury mill, as it is a very capable machine for my model engineering work, It isn’t a workhorse if you intend hogging out steel stock all day long, but I generally work with aluminium and brass building one off small components, so is the perfect bench top size for my workshop, and very capable of high precision work.

Cracking tutorials Ade! You’ve made Lockdown Part 3 a damn sight more bearable. Just out of interest, do you work out any build costs for your engines?

@AdeSwash

Hi Mick, no, I never work out build costs, I usually start with a flywheel, and go from there, to be honest, If I begun thinking about the cost I would probably not build anything, as metal is expensive

Sadly, the height gauge erase function no longer available....

Yeah, that was a special edition version, no longer available ;)

I've never seen anything official on this, but should a height gauge not be used with the sharp edge leading, rather than the corner? Or would that make the scratch mark vanishingly thin?

@AdeSwash

Hi Ken, both edges are sharp edges, so not exactly sure what you mean? the scribe line comes from the lower edge of the scribe

Hi Ade, If you stop the video at 1.53 you are dragging the scriber from left to right across the piece. Now imagine that, with the height gauge in exactly the same orientation, you pushed it the other way, from right to left, like running the video in reverse. But now the sharp edge is leading, not the blunt corner. Do you see what I mean? You will get a sharper, thinner, line. (Although as I said, it might be well-on invisible!). I do of course realise that I'm splitting hairs, and probably dancing fairies on a pin-head too. I'm sure you've successfully scribed far more lines in your time than I have!
