That is so true. I have a fair dinkum home shop, with machine tools, welding, etc. available to me, and I am completely stymied by my desire to make a fine-feed handwheel for my Bridgeport! I would need to buy a bunch of expensive tooling I don't have... so I'll wind up buying the real thing for $70 because the $10 plastic one will NOT feel satisfying to use. *sigh* Further evidence you can never have too many tools / too much tooling.
As always I’m very impressed with your work. I’ve been around machining all my life and for a guy your generation to have your skills and level of patience and care..... this is a rare thing. Well done.
Well done brother! Love that round bar boring tool trick for the balls! Your approach to projects always involves your ingenuity. Keep it coming as you have a big fan here.
As usual Sir, a fine job of machining and videography! I really like your use of fast forwarding and high speed through all the basic turning and focusing on the parts that really matter. Thanks for all the inspiration!
@@kevinbreslin5718 a 12-point box end similar to most wrenches makes securing it on a fastener much less fidgety and broaching the 12 points on the rotary table/dividing head is WAY more accurate to keeping the cuts perpendicular to the faces than trying to file them to shape since it can't be cut with an end mill. That, and trying to file 4340 would be the furthest thing from a dance around the maypole.
Never seen a boring head used that way. Excellent work. You set the standard pretty high for us to follow. The bad part is not many will ever reach your level of skill but it gives a level to shoot for. All the best.
Very well done. A nice cleanup of the original Multifix and I like the handle. I was talking to the computer screen as you were tempering the end done! A very nice straw colour. A good point to stop for an item that will see such heavy use. You will enjoy your tool holder for years to come!
Oh man, the finished item is really nice! Great work! I have watched a lot of your videos, and please believe me when I say that you are making the world a better place.

Yeah i wil save the world with stones and wood sticks 😅
I guess you haven't seen many of his other videos yet - prepare to be amazed! He seems to have access to the world's best boneyard / mystery supply of lightly rusted, heavily encrusted, perfectly serviceable machines and tooling, which he then takes home, spends zillions of hours (I'm not convinced he sleeps) restoring and returning to as-new condition with genuine TLC. I don't know whether he has teachers other than RU-vid, but if so, they should be damned proud of him. And if he is self-taught, then so much more pride is justified. (yet he seems humble, too. He's in my Pantheon of Machine Shop Mafia here on YT, including Adam (Abom79), Tom Lipton (Oxtoolco) and This Old Tony.
CA lem you are an excellent machinist. And your shop is great. Amazing how you rebuild your entire machine shop into a first class place. It's an honor to follow your channel 😁👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🆗🔧🔧🔨
