There is a very old story involving Henry Ford and Swiss watchmakers. As the story goes, Henry Ford once sent a 1/64" drill bit to a Swiss watchmaking company and asked if they liked the quality and precision of the piece. The Swiss, in a notorious fit of humor, sent a letter back to Mr. Ford saying how much they appreciated the workmanship of the drill bit, and sent it back - with a hold drilled through it. Now that's where the story usually ends (at least from the Swiss point of view...), but reportedly Mr. Ford sent ANOTHER letter to the Swiss with the offer: "If you liked the drill bit so much, we can provide you a million more by next Tuesday!"

@splinky99 6 месяцев назад

In my experience with birch wood Casey, and many other blackening agents, you’ll get much better results if you do the final rinse of the work piece with denatured alcohol……acetone is not water soluble, and actually leaves a slight petroleum residue, which leads to the blotchiness….alcohol is water soluble, and works much better with the bluing!

@kindablue1959 6 месяцев назад

I'd like to see Quinn prove this out in a future video.

@trevorlarson3984 6 месяцев назад

Good advice. I also found multiple applications using steel wool between them and rinsing in distilled water led to fairly uniform results, but also meant rebluing my Zastava M57 took forever.

@seanalexander9531 6 месяцев назад

I can't comment on blueing, but acetone is very water soluble. The residue is probably from impurities rather than the acetone itself.

“Squeeze every ounce of precision…” I wasn’t aware that precision was measured in imperial. Are there SI units for that? Maybe that’s why we stick with imperial in the US. 😂

@cerealport2726 6 месяцев назад

Metric ounces, obviously! trust me, I'm a random youtube commenter, so I'd never lie to you. Seriously though, there is a decimal foot, with 10 inches per (normal) foot, and 10 divisions per inch... I've used one in the oil industry to measure the length of pipe, but supposedly it's used by surveyors too.

I probably would have "foolproofed" the alignment pins by offsetting one of them. That way, the top clamp can only go on one way. So if they're ever separated, they go back together the same way every time.

@troglokev 6 месяцев назад

There is a Russian Proton rocket technician who would beg to differ.

@miked4327 6 месяцев назад

@dangerrangerlstc No it won't. A filed notch can still go on either way if you're not paying attention. Foolproofing the pins will only allow it to go on one way.

@troglokev 6 месяцев назад

You only need three pins to do the job of location, four pins is over constrained. That Russian rocket tech would still find a way to hammer it home the wrong way.

@bobhudson6659 6 месяцев назад

Please give Quinn credit for knowing what she is doing. All holes were drilled and reamed using a DRO. At tenths of a thou tolerance do you not think that Quinn would notice if the pins were 180 degrees out and she had to put extra force to mate top and bottom halves of the jig. Come on. Others maybe - Quinn no.

I once worked with another machinist at a large electronics manufacturing company. He worked for a different part of the company, mostly on big fixturing pieces used for the environmental testing department and the like, while I was the engineering department's fixture, tool, and die and machinery designer and maker. He often argued with me that in his expert opinion, +/- 0.025" is all the accuracy and precision anyone should ever need. It really got heated when he'd ruin hours of my time, after I'd have trammed in the sloppy worn out milling machine and vise to 0.0001", by needlessly tilting the head for some silly 5 minute job that could have been done just as well and fast with angle blocks or some rudimentary angled work holding. Then he'd just re-set the head by the marks on the "horse shoes and hand grenades" stamped scales, insisting if it was good enough for him, it should be good enough for me. He went on to say I should just tell the engineering and management departments I worked for that our shop just couldn't be expected to do any better than that. I then asked him if he thought the company would be OK with me using his half assed effort in precision and accuracy and thereby providing them with forming tools and dies that would completely miss my often

@blackoak4978 6 месяцев назад

In reference to the precision mentioned at the start, this is why most professionals aren't particularly precise unless they are being paid specifically to be precise. Time is money, and they need to be able to get through parts as quick as possible. Outside of something like rocket or nuclear science, or metrology the watch words are "good enough". Only hobbyists have the time to chase zeros

@445supermag 5 месяцев назад

Nice fixture. When I only have one to do, I put a piece of square scrap stock in the lathe toolholder and put the drill in the lathe chuck, then drill a hole that is clearance for the wire through the end of the stock. Then I rotate the toolholder 90, slide the wire through the hole I just drilled, and change the drill in the chuck to whatever I want.

Another way to do v grooves is to clamp a grinding vise at 45 then you can easily flip the part and approach from either side to the middle.

The Swiss sent the drills back with a note, apologising for their bad English but saying that they were quite sure that they were asked to demonstrate that they could put holes into those drills, which they did.

@patricklozito7042 6 месяцев назад

Great video! Regarding Super Blue: Rather than wiping it on, use a cotton swab and "roll" the solution on like using a paint roller. Using a wiping motion actually blues and then removes the bluing. wait for it to dry and then continue to coat it until you think it is satisfactory then, use acetone to neutralize the chemical action. if you think it needs to be darker, first rub the surface with a clean paper towel , some color may come off, and repeat.

I've used just about every cold blue out there. While different materials seem to prefer different prudocts, overal the oxpho blue and the T-4, both from Browenells are the best. I like the cream version rather than the liquid. The birchwood casey super blue is one of the most unreliable i have ever used. Looks dark when its first on but then almost immediately wipes completely off. Never had it make a quality color or finish.

My grandpa worked in the university's laser lab. Once they were given a sample part from a Swiss university, something like a microscopic screw I believe. It was the smallest they could possibly make and the Swiss were mighty proud of it. My grandpa's team took it to their regular tooling and, with no particular effort, used an electron microscope to write the dimensions of the screw on the side of the screw's thread and sent it back to Switzerland. 😅

I recently used the birchwood casey blueing for a grip frame. It came out spotty and inconsistent at first. It says to use 0000 steel wool to even out the color between coats. This didn't work either, so I tried using the steel wool to apply the blueing. I rubbed it in vigorously with the steel wool and that really evened out the finish. I applied four or five coats and each time it got darker. Turned out very nice in the end.

Terrific video! I always enjoy your explanations and demonstrations. Another youtuber that I've been watching for a while, Alec Steele, who has a channel vibe about 180 degrees away from yours (he goes for high energy! Music! Sponsors!) has started getting into machining. He's a blacksmith by training so his usual method is to heat up steel and whack at it until it's the right shape, then fix any resulting error in measurement with grinding - so it's been fun to see him on his journey of learning how to make precision parts. I mention him because a few people in his comments (including me) have been pointing him at your channel for some pointers on his newest model kit build, a tiny steam power hammer. I don't know if he'll make it around your way for some tips, but I've been really enjoying the contrast. Just goes to show, the joys of precision machine work can be for everyone! Thank you again, and looking forward to seeing this tiny fixture in action!

" Circuit board " drills and a small Harvey Tool spotting drill are good to have in your toybox for doing small work. I used to use them every day to drill holes as small as 0.012". Occasionally I would have to spot face with a small endmill first. A precise and good spotting drill is more important than you might think as many lesser tools have the points ground off center. It may not matter for bigger drills but for the smallest drills, it has to be perfect.

In my experience with bluing solutions from various manufacturers and different batches from each, I’ve had to boil some pieces in distilled water and then apply/dip the solution, others can be used with minimal cleaning. The material can also absorb lubricants/oil, hence boiling, or adjacent materials eg copper from the wire used in the squaring process or lead in free machining steels which leads to a patchy or lined finish on the parts. Sometimes it appears the solution itself has a greasy feel or appearance and it leaves a patchy finish. There is no rhyme or reason to what happens except it happens when you don’t want it to. It is one of the truly frustrating parts of the vision you have for a project. This project is becoming a must watch series. Take care.
