Whenever I need an idea, tip, or a lesson on how to make something in my workshop, your videos come up. They're a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work!

Ego-free demonstration and brilliant work. Your videos have inspired me to set up my own hobby shop at home. I'm a machinist by trade (20 years in manufacturing). My work doesn't allow for moments of creativity such as what is demonstrated in this video. Well done!

I like the silent approach with written comments. Very clear and concise. Nothing over-explained. Very nice work!

Good stuff. I especially appreciate that the only sounds we hear are your tools and work. NO music, No talking, just tool sounds.

Thanks for your comment. The indexer is as bought. I just had to drill holes in the base to suit the spacing of the tee slots in the table.

myfordboy, You're a genius. I'm an Air Craft mechanic. I've -always- wondered how "parts" got made. I just put them together and trouble shoot them. Your channel is the -best- resource I have ever seen. THANK YOU!

It's so good to see a craftsman working. You have taught me a lot from just 1 video, many thanks.

The guy makes his own wok tools.... It's just incredible WOOOW! I really admire your work Thank you from France!!! 🇫🇷

Just incredible, exactly what I need to make fine feed for my homemade mini mill. Going to attach the worm gear to the quill and the worm screw will fine feed adjust it! Thank you so much.

You know, I've learned so many things from your videos. This video was a perfect example. I could only guess at how to make a worm gear (let alone a gear cutter) and now I've got the confidence (if not the tools yet) to try making one myself -I need a dividing head. You're one of my best sources of information and I thank you for it.

Toolmaker myself. Your videos bring a lot off skills flooding back. I'm very impressed with the casting video's that you do as well (my wife says ohh no you don't ). Keep up the great videos

Finally! This is the BEST video about making a worm gear! Thanks you!

Outstanding presentation. Couldn't possibly be clearer. Many thanks for taking the time to share!

The thing I love about your videos is that you make everything look so easy, you avoid the flashy gimmicks in your videos, and you educate people very well... My only complaint, you dont show where in the machinists handbook such information is and how to derive the angle from the data... but that is a very minor complaint indeed

I like how you show your hands working the machine. So many videos leave that out, it’s the most interesting part to me

That was pretty impressive. I've since watched a few other videos. You make that relatively basic lathe dance and do tricks that a lot of machinists couldn't do with the fanciest modern ones. I love the "This may not be the textbook way, but it's a way that works and gets the job done with what I have." attitude. Most would probably pin the hobb to the mandrel or some such, you just glued the darn thing and got to work. I also like that you don't waste a lot of time worrying about measurements beyond 'it's close enough'.

Facinating, to see this being done. I always thought that the hob did the entire job. Was surprised, that you roughed-in the teeth first, on your mill. Great information as always. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

Wow. I am speechless, wish i was in possession of the skills you show here on your channel. Inspiring, great work!

Apparently this video is made when I started to think about making my own gears and worm(wheels), due to lack of tools (funds..) I am still thinking.. This showed me I am thinking the right direction. Thank you very much, nice work.

Interesting as I was fascinated by the machines used to make the components you do. Almost in a way like people descend from people before them these machines were crafted by machines before them. Good stuff.

Sir, I do like your idea for a collet chuck. After spending my life in shops and tool rooms in the U.S., it always intrigues me to see the processes, and machinery that are customary in other parts of the world. Sadly, the American machine tool builders did not keep the tee slotted cross slide. Your hobbling video is educational and entertaining. I thank you.

Your videos are the only ones I've seen with so many up votes and zero down votes. Well done matey, you're a true engineer.

Awesome video, mate! That was truly an educational experience for me!

Another amazing and educational video. Myfordboy, your work is very inspiring, and some day, I hope to try some of the things your have demonstrated. Many thanks!

This is one of the best videos I have seen, especially the "hobbing" process which great to watch. It's no wonder it's had so many views.

I picked up a Harbor Freight 45861 9 x 20 bench lathe new, a few years ago for about $500 US. About the size of the Myford, just not as refined. I consider mine a work in progress with many upgrades planned. There are several lathes of this size sold by Grizzly and others. A great size for those in need of something larger than the smaller hobby lathes but without the need (or room) for a full size lathe. Love your Myford. It inspires me and gives me something to strive toward on my budget.

Hello myfordboy!!! With great pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you. All the best to you.

absolutely facinating. Congratulations. I never thought that i can make my own tools like you. Thanks

Very interesting. Never seen that done in 40 yrs of machining. Thanks!

Sou torneiro mecânico,e amo muito a profissão.sei que cada dia que passa há uma nova evolução isso é que é importante a mecânica nunca vai parar de evoluir.meus para-bem muito bonito esse trabalho.

Awesome work, and packed full of valuable information, thank you!

You are good, real good. I can't imagine the time it took to learn the specifics.

Great work! Myford lathes are really great! Rare to find in the States. Thank you for all of your videos!

Watching you work so swiftly on the lathe is fascinating.

Nice work. I needed a worm drive, bought it, $30, brass ring gear, steel worm. But if you needed an odd dimension its good to know to make one.

I don't understand why you don't have more likes. Excellent video. Thank you.

This is an amazing presentation. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Absolutely and I wouldn't know where to start myself

Beautiful demonstration and it is very helpful to small Pinion sprocket producers specially for instrumentation instrument gears !

Excelente , un maestro de la vieja escuela , llevo a cabo y con perfección todas las tareas , un placer ver sus videos .

this is good work, especially for non- factory of conditions

Incredible work. I'm blown away...

You did a great job. Upload more videos like.

Your channel sir is a gold mine of knowledge! 👏👍 Thanks for sharing!

Such a great watch on a holiday Monday morning with spicy muffins and a cup of coffee and a great presentation. Thank you for a great start to the day.

enjoyed the skill you are possessing in handling various machines.

Learned a lot here, thanks a million, you made an excellent video!

Saw your comment on Kieth Rucker's site. This explains why his original worm wheel was bronze and not like the others. Must have been cut in a similar way using a steel worm gear. Very clever.

Well done. Enjoyed watching the process.

Outstanding work my friend! Very informative!

That's a really nice method! I should pay you the things I learned here! Thanks!

Really interesting clip. Thanks for showing this!

Very nice work!! I've learned quite a lot by watching your work!!

Brilliant! Your expertise and longterm experience shows in the way you turn out the work at at hand . Thanks for sharing!!!!

As always, another great vid!! I've learned quite a bit from you. Much appreciated. Now, if you could just keep the talking to a minimum . . .

You’re right...it’s kinda hard to stay focused on the project when he talks so much. Lol

Congrats! Always an excellent video and very useful. Thanks for sharing it with the world. Luiz Ally

I know this has been around for awhile but new to me. Great video. I have a need to make this so very timely. Thanks

Enjoyed that. Silver steel is great stuff for making specials.

Best machining vid ever. Amazing use of Lok-tite. Riveting. Subscribed, you're going to teach me how to single point thread, sir!

I really love that T-slotted cross slide on your myford lathe, wish my lathe had one.

Excellent work! Thank you for video!

Thank you just what I needed for the drive gear on my welding positioner.

Great work man keep it up need more like you on KZread.

Wow, amazing video- great skill, great machine!

Amazing as usual! great video, keep the good work!

This is pretty impressive! You are quite a machinist

Thanx for the video, man. It's really appreciated!

That is SO cool! Thank you for showing us that. I'm going to try it, except I don't have a mill. Maybe a thimk around.

grate job love the info now i might be able to build that scale winch for my 1:14 truck thanks for all the time you put in to your video's

interesting and instructive, thank you! Perfect commentary.

Really nice job...cutting and like a lapping to match them...great idea and method.....Thank you.

Thanks for the great video. I think I am going to try doing this when I get some more experience.

Great stuff. Learned a lot. Thank you

The collet chuck holds the work more concentric than a 3 jaw and provides a stronger grip too.

Great video, and lathe/mill work!

Great job, as always!

That was a great Educational Video I have never seen this done before Thanks !!!

brilliant job, well done, helpes me a lot.

Bom trabalho, apreciei muito! Trabalho em torno cnc e mecânico, vc me deu ótimas idéias

fell in love with you with just one video...

Lovely work as always!

this is incredible beautiful! you are very talented. good job can i make the changewheels somehow?

FANTASTIC. Regards Colin. UK.

Another superb masterclass :D

que gran video.. todos los procesos desde la fabricacion del tornillo sin fin fresa madre... y la corora ...genial -

Thanks for share with us your knowlege. I learn a lot watching your videos.

Excellent technique. Very well done. I do agree with the comment about buying on from, presumably, Boston Gear. That lathe sounds like the one I worked with as a kid at home. I thought the speed used turning drill rod was high.i had to run the old lathe much slower. I did not have carbide cutting tools.

Great Video, very useful for training.

how making tool post

Very interesting one. It's good that no music, advertisement in between. 👍👌🌹💕

Another excellent video. Many thanks for sharing.

Wow..very therapeutic to watch....lol You are a craftsman.!

Slotting the blank gets it turning easily and ensures the correct number of teeth are formed. I have read it is possible to end up with a gear with the wrong number of teeth if you don't do this.

you are a genius. You make it look so easy

I work on a cnc Gleason Pheonix gear cutting hob and this is more fascinating than the machine i run.

Ricky Reynolds Same thought. Something far more intimate about controlling the process without a computer being an intermediary between yourself and the workpiece.

Very nicely done, love the vids

Very nice work. Congratulations

Nice work, sir. Very well done. I was just granted an apprenticeship in the sheet metal industry; although I know this kind of work is different, it's still very appealing to me watching you use machinery to fabricate whatever kind of metal components you want. Makes you realize how much the slightest calculation can make a difference when it comes to shaping metal! My only gripe: engineers in developing nations are emulating your technique, rather than figuring it out on their own. :-(

First let me preface by saying I'm a Journeyman Toolmaker A2. I've always had Hobbs and expanding mandrels at my fingertips. I've never seen Loctite used like that! I mean I knew it was strong, but i never had the balls to try that! Second, I've never had the balls to make a hob and back relieve it with a file!..Then use the lathe as my Hobber!....Very impressive! I really must say, This was the first video that I wasn't pissed off with all the Jack Jawing of the presenter. You got right down to business and made you video...let the work do the talking..anyone worth there salt would be able to figure out what your doing. Not that any of it was hard. Sorry no offense...it's all technique. Technique that I've not in my 35 yr as A2 as ever seen. Best video I've ever seen....and that saying something. ME, PE, Journeyman Toolmaker A2,.. 3rd Generation Toolmaker and son of a Major Player/ Senior VP Institution to the industry. Well Done!.... I'm well pleased!

lindowan123 , Yes, sometimes we spend more time patting ourselves on the back, than just saying; “That’s a darned good idea. Congratulations.” And then sign off. Do I need to know about this guy’s childhood and family? No.

Thanks for sharing. Im a machinist also. There lots of trick you can learn. It very helpful from your experience. Cutting special thread on lathe is not easy. You got skills . I wish I can learn using software to program and draw desighn for cnc lathe and milling. I have some cnc experiences and manual.

Very nice. Excellent work.

Very clear and concise video excellent stuff
