I've lived in Viet Nam for a number of years and I can say that it is incredible how this young man has elevated himself to such a high level of self taught engineering, which is amazing in any country in the world let alone Viet Nam where opportunities are limited. And having read one Vietnamese comment I have now found out that he is only 21 years old ! Cà Lem, you should be truly proud of yourself.
21?!?!?! He looks young but I thought it was a genetic thing. This kids skills rival any of the other You tube machinist, twice his age. Not many tear down a machine to the last bolt, then put them back together, as good as new.
While I understand you often have to make your own tools rather than just buying something, the care and craftsmanship you put into your shop made tooling always exceeds expectations.
Very Nice! I like how you made your own hydraulic manifold! I work in hydraulics in my daytime job. For me it’s usual stuff that we purchase. But seeing you making it yourself is awesome
You are obviously a very skilled machinist, and your videos are quite enjoyable and informative. I am also always impressed with your patience and skill with hand filing.
You inspire everyone, everywhere! You can take a putty knife, a hand file, some sand paper, and you can resurrect a Bridgeport knee mill and then make anything! Wow! What an amazing list of accomplishments you have! I cannot imagine anyone who would not be impressed! Thank for sharing your incredible work with the rest of us! :)
Amazing work as usual. I watch many machinists on youtube and its always a let down when they buy or promo tools they could make themselves. You truly use your machines to their full potential.
You're an incredible craftsman. I did my apprenticeship as a machinist und later worked for a hydraulic shop in the aviation industry.. and i can honestly say that everything you do, you're doing it right. The retainers on the o-rings, your machining skills.. just everything. It's a pleasure watching you work! All you need is a pressure gauge on that hydraulic press and it would be perfect! Well done
Excellent work as per usual on your handle CaLem. I love that big Bridgeport mill of yours. It’s a beast of a machine. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Aaron
I'm not qualified or equipped to confirm you as the most handsome machinist but maybe I've got something better for you; you're the salt of the earth. I'm really impressed to see your approach on life and work. No can't do but how do I get it done? I hope a lot of young folks are watching too. With the emphasis of start watching at the beginning of the channel and see how you evolved to become a true master of the machinist art. Hat's of to you sir. I hope I can enjoy your work and progress for a long time to come. Best, Job
Ca Lem You have a very special talent, People who can build from the ground up are very rare. Just keep doing what you do. (Glad you said Handsome and not Pretty...........LOL)
If most machinists would say “that’s too hard” and not even try, you do it excellently and make it look easy. Most would have just drilled holes in the end of a flat bar for the crank handle and say “good enough.” Yours is... most handsome!
@ just watching your videos is reward enough! thanks for the kind offer, but i don't have any use for stickers...just save the postage, and instead buy yourself some nice stock and make something sweet for all of us to admire. peace
Buddy... still waiting on you to move to the Midwest right down the block from me with that traditional wine you promised! Hell I’ll provide the wine! Just come on already! Thanks for making your videos. I truly appreciate them!
Wow, all I can say is much respect, man! With all due respect I'm not an accurate judge of attractiveness, but I'll take your word for it regarding the "handsome" description, lol!
