I Turn Stainless Steel Bolts into a Pocket Lock 

Thank you very much!

@@realityanalyst I don’t quite get your reasoning. A painter knows how to move a brush. An author knows how to structure words. A photographer knows how to frame a scene. These three are by and large considered artists, and can have their art forms just as easily summarized as you did there. But, just as with the machinist, there is actually so much more to their art form than just the short sentences we laid out. A painter needs to be able to visualize the final piece on a blank canvas. Needs to know how to mix colors, use different brush strokes, create shading and depth. An author needs to have a firm grasp of proper language, grammar, sentence structure...just for technical purposes, to say nothing of actually creating characters, personalities, places, and situations. A photographer needs to know how light/lighting works, composition, angles, the technical aspects of their camera, and proper developing techniques (whether film or digital medium). And a machinist needs to know which tools to use and their interchangeable parts and settings. Material tolerances for cutting and shaping, and especially in this person’s case, be able to visualize how the individual pieces would be formed, used, and come together. Give anyone a bag full of the bolts and other pieces they used to build the lock and see how many could even begin to tell you what piece gets used where, and how to craft it. Saying this person is not an artist is simply mind boggling to me, when just as much work, effort, and above all, knowledge and raw skill needs to go into what they do, just the same as any other artist.

@@realityanalyst just as much of an artist as one who paints a landscape or bowl of fruit exactly as they're seeing it. By your own words, unless they're putting some major personal perspective on it like Picasso would, or painting something completely thought up in their own head, then isn't any painter just copying whatever it is they're looking at, and therefore not an artist?

Thanks for the kind words! That means a lot. God bless you!!

Sure thing, thank you.

So, what shall it be? Wrench, good ol' turning and listening, or maybe another fancy tool BosnianBill and he made specifically for this task?

Who else read that with LPL’s voice

"Alright folks, although beautiful this little lock doesn't offer very much in the way of security, as you can see by how quickly I was able to get it open."

"And one more time to show you it wasn't a fluke"

He’d just pull on the shackle and decode it.

Thank you! 😊

@@MakerB aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks for the kind words!

until one generation forgot the combination.

@@CapApollo That'll make it more appealing to whomever it's handed down to.

Panache baja

you may like "my mechanics" chanell if you like this

I was shoke

My first thought as well, they have to be brothers lol

Have a look at Clickspring. He’s machining the Antikythera computer using technologies known to exist in Greece at the time. He also machines clocks from scratch.

I am speatchless ......

Video GOOOOOD 👍👍 SUCBRIBE 🙏🙏 SUCBRIBE

Thanks 👍

I agree he might like the lock

That's quite a compliment! Glad you enjoyed it.

New here?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

At least you were lucky, that at your school they taught you stuff like this. My school was BS.

@@ZoonCrypticon It was in the 50's and we were being groomed for factory work! We covered all sorts of work, foundry, sheet metal, turning, blacksmithing, as well as turning and use of hand tools like tapping and die threading. I still have a couple of precision tools I made. Add to that carpentry, turning, French polishing, and technical drawing etc. Some of the drawing work I did was expanded sheet metal, intersecting cones. No computers or calculators then, either! 30 years or so later, when I was doing a CAD course, the young people there were struggling, not with the computer, but their drafting skills were so poor. The teacher asked me to demonstrate the solution to a ''wire form'' drawing, and it took me a couple of minutes. One of the young men said that what I'd just done in a couple of minutes would take him half an hour to do. Sad thing is, that nearly all the schools are now disbanding their workshops in favour of crap. One of my other machines came from a school workshop, and the stuff ''in progress'' was made with drinking straws, and cardboard bog paper cores. The sort of thing my daughter was making when she was four years old! This was a secondary school, ie. teenagers! Industry is always complaining that they cant get enough engineers, but how do they expect anyone to get interested in engineering, if the kids have never made anything? Worlds gone crackers! .

@@niklar55 Absolutely agreeing with your statement! The young generations have become sly for computers and how to manage things without too much effort. Quality, creativity, experience, endurance have suffered major losses in the averaged modern generation`s productivity.

@@ZoonCrypticon Another reason that Britain is short of engineers, is because the pay is abysmal. After nine and a half years in the RAF, as a wireless man, I was so sick of it, that I decided to try mechanical engineering, to try and put myself as far away from anything that reminded me of the RAF. I qualified to BSc level, and studied to Masters level, but skipped the exam, as collecting certificates had become irrelevant to my life by then. During my adult college years, when I was between courses, I was looking for a job. One job advertised, that I checked out, as a progress chaser in an engineering company. The chap was very reluctant to tell me what the salary was. Eventually I convinced him that the salary was the key to my interest, and without it we could be wasting each others time. So reluctantly he told me, _40 pounds a week._ ''That,'' I said, ''wouldn't even get me out of bed! I'm getting 35 pounds a week unemployment benefit, and you want me to work a 40 hour week for an extra 5 pounds! It wont happen!'' Later, when I was qualified, and had some experience, I was looking at jobs again, and, ''Graduate Engineer; 5-10 years experience; £10-£15,000 per year. Loads of responsibilities, fancy title, no overtime, and I have to go, ''cap in hand,'' and beg for time off. Carpenter on a construction site, no responsibilities, plenty of overtime, and can holiday whenever I please, £30,000 a year! No contest! So, I started my own businesses, (5) and employed myself. .

@@niklar55 Very interesting the development. I `ve never thought, that in the UK engineers were exploited like this. Finally you made the right decisions.

Same while reading your comment I'm like damn this is sick I'm gonna sub

Big thank you for watching this video👍

Thanks for the sub!

Heh I came here to say the same thing 😝

Or not.

totally agree... the same here

Oh the same thing happened to me. Except now I'm watching wood carving as well.🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

Unddeerted comment

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! You too!

Sry for my Bad english ;)

@@samsaral1598 it’s understandable, and that’s what counts. For the sake of helping you improve it, were you said “when then”, I’d have said “when you do”. :) And I agree, this was amazing! I’m glad RU-vid showed it to me.
