Nice one.Great vid.

Another brilliantly informative video. I have never quite understood the whole annealing and tempering process up until now. Thank you Johnny

Muy bueno! !

Great video! I can hardly wait till your book is available in Canada and the US.

Thank you for the video. I agree completely that using a jewelers saw and a wood V block is meditative. I used to dread when I had to cut out a part and would search for easier methods but I have learned that patience and the correct jewelers saw blade gives me the best results. Perhaps in a future video you can describe how to pick the correct saw blade teeth/inch plus any tips on on cutting such as using something for lubricant, etc.

A little tip mathew if you are hack sawing in a vice, I learnt this from my farther when i was about 10 years old after splitting my Knuckle. My farther was a top old school mechanic. (Qualified as master mechanic in his day) If you are right handed, saw on the right hand side of the vice. This way if the blade snaps as high carbon blades sometimes do or you cut through the work piece slightly quicker your hand will naturally travel away from the vice. If you saw as you are doing your hand will go into the vice and catch your knuckles.

I am so glad I found this site. It is the best I have seen that is out there. Your teaching is just great. And your passing on skills that will do so useful in the work Shop. . Wouldn't be possible to make one on the making of different types of Clock pellets. Thank you again .

Where can I get the machine screws to mount the Smiths Enfield movement to the Bakelite case? They look very similar to the one you used when making the screwdriver end of the tool.
