Great video with not much talking and no music, nothing worse than having a video that you wanna watch and here and have them play music over it. That was a perfect video. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching.
As a builder who only does basic machining i enjoy a few call outs. Like the cutters being used and why. Maybe info on any special equipment and processes. The rest can just be machining. I will say that unless something significant happens durring one of the processes, you don't need to show all the passes or maybe you can show them sped up. Makes it hard to watch the same pass over and over for multiple mins just taking off another 5mil. I really enjoy your videos, Informative and cool projects that are helping me build my machining knowledge.
Nice bolt. Good job! I like the change up without narration on the small jobs where its self explanatory. Great shots close up on the cutting action too.
Thanks for such an enjoyable video. I love the basic machining sounds and good quality video. Some commentary at the beginning and end is good, but the machining sound immersion is my preference. So nice to listen to a solid high quality lathe that runs so smoothly. My old 1950s hercus would not give the same audio experience.
Morning Kyle, I enjoy your narrative because its always beneficial to me as a beginner. But this video was fine as well. It was straight forward and you covered the information prior the machining. I think you make good choices on what material needs audio insert at the appropriate machining practices or actions. Love your videos as always. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video 3 of my 4 favorite machine youtubers posted you, CEE, Inheritance Machining, only thing missing to make it a perfect weekend is This old Tony LOL.
Great video! I always learn something new watching your content. I also prefer to hear the machining and shop sounds over music beds. That said, I also like the combination of shop sounds and narration with VERY low instrumental music beds in the background. Nice job. Keep the great content coming!
Once again you are very talented and you might think you over do things, but I don't think so. I like the level of quality that you build too. One thing I did notice in the opening seen of the video is there is a chuck key in the chuck of the lathe in the background. I was always taught that you never leave a chuck key in the chuck. It only takes one lapse in judgement and something very serious can happen. Otherwise I think your level of detail is incredible.
Wow the oil blue turned out good. The quality of hot oil blue depends on the material used. I have found boiled linseed oil gives the best results although I would be tough to beat the result you got. Idk y but I love blue finish.
This was a peaceful Sunday morning video. I like both styles of your videos. This format works for simple projects and the more complicated videos need the extra commentary to explain the fine points.
Thank you for sharing you always make these projects make me feel like I can accomplish the same results. I can’t wait to get into my shop after watching your videos. Ric
Great work as usual. The camera work is very good as well. I like your regular format. But this with minimal narrative is also quite good. Simple and direct. Thanks.
With the commentary/voiceover or not but most important is 'you do you' and keep it authentic. It can work either way but at least 'some' is important IMO. Take a look at 'jsk koubou' which is a Japanese channel but he lets his video style speak (while he does not) and compare it to say TOT who spouts verbally A LOT and his hands do even more talking 🙃. The thing both have in common is million plus subs (not that that matters much because of the algorithm) but all of their videos maintain very high view rates compared to others.
Kyle, I enjoyed the video without a lot of chatter. Some small projects don't need a lot of comments. Curious though... Were you sorry that you didn't the time to protect your newly cut threads when you chucked it into the lathe? You know that's why the stock slipped? I'm guessing that you didn't want to risk damaging the threads, so you were light on the chuck jaw pressure? Just remember, aluminum beer cans serve a second life. Wakodahatchee Chris
I do have a cold blue 101 video. They both work the same really (obviously different but yield similar results). I think I was tired of cold bluing so I tried hot blue again and it works well.
Sir, may I suggest doing quiet but with subtitles for a little explanation? I'm n00b at machining, I love japanese videos because they don't talk but write, maybe you can use some speak to text machine during editing. Thank you very much. Great videos. May you be prosper in your lovely shop.
Remember I have no idea what you are going to do, I am also not a lather, just some one that likes your work & interested in how & why you do what you do. I do like it when you inform me while doing the procedure, those that just do & say nothing don't have my following. Yes there are times when you want me to know too much. Your main draw card is that you want perfection. I am happy with the way you are with all your quirks. By the way I would have loved to come to you "Open-Day" but I can't, I live over the pond (UK).
"Endmill dull"Yes. And maybe the spindle speed is a bit high too.. HSS or carbide? I know the feeling. Before and after🙊And, hot weather out there too? You look kind of overheated and wild.., Stay safe! Best, Job
I noticed when you do an up close of your turning that the finish looks like a phonograph. Is that because of the camera or are you just running a higher feed rate for bulk removal?
I mostly prefer the less commentary. Describe the project up front and go to work. Nothing against him but Kieth Rucker talks too much on his videos. He goes into lengthy detail on every step and ends up repeating the same words 3-4 times for each step.
Agreed. Especially when watching a video, it’s easy for viewers to back up if we miss something. Keith’s repetition is one of the main reasons I rarely watch him anymore. Like you said, nothing against him as a person, and others may appreciate it, but it doesn’t work for me.
Guys, I appreciate the feedback. I am generally a long-winded person and detail oriented as you know, but I’m trying to get to a place where I just tell you what I’m gonna do and then we do it. Trying to teach and old dog new tricks. I’ll get there.
Some really nice camera shots there up close, fascinating. However if I'm honest for me, I prefer explanations and narration. I don't want to sound negative, it's just my opinion, but I find myself fast forwarding through some of the repeated stuff. Several of the camera shots were really cool, but then it gets repetitive for me. Again, do whatever you want! I enjoy your content and just giving a worthless opinion since you asked :) Very nice bolt there!
It was all standard techniques that I'm sure the vast majority of us don't actually need commentary on. I'm sure that there are videos you have done and will do that without commentary will leave at least some wondering "why did he do it that way?"
Kyle you should really consider taking a metallurgy/heat treat class. Sometimes you say things that are so inaccurate that it makes the channel laughable. Who ever told you that, “when making a bolt, you want to make it out of a very hard material?” There are many factors that determine the bolt material. Function, thread pitch, load, tensile strength, yield strength and yes harden ability. If someone didn’t know better and was watching your channel. Under your recommendation, they would go and buy a piece of D2 and make a bolt from that, then heat treat it to RC 60-62. You have to think about who’s watching and the impact your inaccuracies might have.
You do some amazing work man. I’ll say this, you can blatantly see the difference in a tradesman that does it for the pay, vs the one that just does it because he loves to do it. Beautiful bolt man. 🫡
