Good idea . The Swan Valley where we live is a vineyard , wine making area that goes back to the early 1800's . Most neighbours have horses or cows , but we have machines ! 👍
Max, That anti-clutter workbench is really working out 😂. Thanks for all the efficiency tips to make these parts. Learning how and why a master machinist applies his craft really advances all of our capabilities. 🙏
Max- I know that some people critique tubers filming efforts…….I visit you to enlarge my machine tool library. You are doing a fantastic job. Perfect. Stop! Great. Excellent! Anyone who comments on videography should do that same project- with commentary- and publish before saying anything regarding your work. Matty is also concerned about the same issues, and almost apologetically says so in most of his work since I have had the honor of watching his videos. A great guy, who builds great stuff. Y’all best be proud of putting in the time and effort to teach an almost lost skill set. I’d bend an elbow with you both if able 😊
Plenty of "Crows Feet" stamps Max, ref War duty, but could be anything , I bought some Moore & Wright Unified thread gauges off EBay a few weeks ago, marked 1989 with the Crows Foot. I think M & W are made in India now. Another part well done 👏
Thanks for the video, I have to attempt to make 16 similar parts, a tad smaller, 1/8th across the pin! lets call it 48 parts for arguments sake as most will beloit in the swarf tray or crap. carry on with the great work!
G DAY Max I always pick up some little tip from you that helps me make better parts. And what I do when finished for the day is put all the tools away and clean the machines to start the next day. My Dad had a sign in his workshop that said A place for every thing and every thing in its place. Cheers
pretty cool, ive got to put on my big boy pants and have a go at doing threads soon, must say at that speed going towards a shoulder seems a bit scary ha ha.
Max, you need about $20.000 dollars worth of tool boxes, and then you can stand in one place all day long, opening drawers looking for what you have lost. And by the way, ----as you get older it done not get easier.
Hi Max, Its nice to see somebody else realising that once you have a flat face there is no need to face to the centre of the part each time if you are drilling a hole. Most damage to inserts occurs when facing if the tool isn't bang on centre height, you can easily chip an insert. I also like you using the 15 deg CNMG tool, a lot of folk throw tips away using the "standard" CNMG tools not realising you have another four perfectly usable tip edges if you have the correct tool. Best wishes, Mal.
Beautiful nut job Max 👍 I've had to resort to calling in the search party a few times looking for that misplaced tool...well at least it wasn't on that new bench. 😁 Some good tips in this one..Thanks ATB....Cheers...
Thanks Dean . Walking around in circles looking for stuff i use daily is starting to wear a bit thin . Might have to buy a box of dial indicators & bases , coper hammers , scales , etc !!! 👍
G'day Max. Very well made video with Hex ends etc, + very nicely fitted Taper section on the lathe. Well done, will forward to the Taper Jig being used
I'm wondering if you're in business with this shop, or if it's now just a hobby. I imagine all us viewers in the UK are extremely jealous of the space you've got, not to mention the weather.
