Hey Folks!
A bit of tool'ception to close out the year! This one will make an appearance in the dial indicator project and I expect in several other projects too.
Cheers,
Chris.

The production quality is just as dazzling as the work Chris does. I wonder how much in real time is spent completing a 29:19 video such as this. I don’t believe you will find better quality videos on RU-vid.

@Martin-pb7ts Год назад

I really like how you showed the way to get outstanding tolerances when using tools that are imperfect. That was very much appreciated.

@pesterenan Год назад

omg that brass coupled with blue screws never ceases to amaze me,, it's gorgeous!

@ajosepi1976 Год назад

Though I do not think my comment on a prior video requesting more on the Sherline had any impact on the making of this video, this is exactly what I was requesting. Thank you, and I look forward to many more videos. You inspire me so much, and seeing your shoe-box shop makes me feel like I can do so much more with my even smaller work area.

@TesserId Год назад

I love the way you do tiny screws. It's so clear all the attention to detail you employ to go far beyond the precision and functionality of garden variety, hardware-store screws. That includes the cut that keeps the threads from reaching all the way to the head. I can just feel how cleanly the assembly with the those screws will go together. The results are so clean and beautiful. Ah, but everyone who follows this channel knows this.

@mrimmortal1579 Год назад

The mirror blue finish on his screws makes me weak in the knees. He does work in his shop exactly the same way that I do in my head. The only thing I lack in my quest to be as good as Chris is time, tools, materials, funding, patience, knowledge, skill, experience, organization, talent, and a voice that’s like butter dripping off a hot biscuit.

It annoys me no end that Chris has such a modest shop. He won’t even leave me that excuse. His shop tools are more beautiful than any finished piece I’ve ever created. He polished the arbor to his faceplate for Mr. Pete’s sake!

@timparsons3565 Год назад

As a professional video editor, I deeply appreciate that the level of skill and artistry you put into your metal work is the same level of skill and artistry that you put into your edits. Just beautiful to watch. I rewatched 26:14 several times.

@AgentWest Год назад

How would that even be done without CGI? A camera setting that combines a transparent still image with live feed to perfectly match the two?

@BobWidlefish Год назад

@@AgentWestI have no idea how he did it. How I would do it: Point a camera at scene 1 and use the live feed to mark the edges of the visible camera frame with tape. Measure the coordinate of the plate you want to do the visual effect with relative to the tape. Your goal is to place a dot sticker at the center of where the plate ends up after throwing it in scene 1. Now setup scene 2 and tape around the edges of the visible video feed again and place the dot sticker in the same relative location as from scene 1, and place the plate exactly on that dot with the same relative orientation. Now do a blend transition from scene 1 to scene 2. The effect will be as if the plate is thrown from scene 1 into scene 2, with just the background changing.

@timparsons3565 Год назад

Either it was a happy accident or it was intentional. How I'd do it: gently toss it down as he did. Take the camera to the new location, changing nothing about the camera or tripod (except height if the new surface is greatly different from the old surface. Play the video back and note the location and rotation of the part. Place the part down as close as possible. Since it's a still image, I'd rotate the part around a few degrees, and capture a few frames of each orientation. Then in my editing software, I'd find the closest take, and digitally correct for any discrepancies (scale, rotation, position).

@lindboknifeandtool Год назад

@@AgentWest id say by either adjusting the aspect ratio and or cropping the images with an overlay tool. Tik tok even has this feature I believe. Helps with looping video

@emmakane6848 Год назад

Isn’t there that saying? “Measure twice, cut once.” He probably does a lot of planning, trying to think about all the possibilities that could go wrong before they do. Although I definitely do think that certain parts (like the painstaking engraving) do take far longer than others. He might be spacing them out to make it a more consistent upload schedule.

@johnmcclain3887 Год назад

That is some really gorgeous tool making. I work on substantially larger machine tools, it's a real joy to watch such fine finishing on such tiny parts. I inherited my grandfather's watch maker's lathe a few years ago when my father passed. I believe I will make such a plate, even though I doubt I will ever do such work as demands it. I fiddle around a bit with clocks and watches but nothing like major work. Very nicely done, I love the look of aluminum bronze, I've done a fair bit of work in it on props and couplings for fishing boats about twenty years ago, working in Morehead City, NC. We did shafts six inches in diameter, twenty odd feet long, and the props and couplings for Tiara Yachts. We made a couple hundred pounds of chips a day, cutting the couplings and the props.

oh my goodness, I had no idea that aluminum could alloy with copper to make a kind of bronze. that's so cool! and i looked it up and its harder than mild steel! this is actually a game changer for me. thank you

@Gottenhimfella Год назад

It's counter intuitive that three soft metals (tin being the other) would combine to form a hard one. Aluminium bronze is indeed an incredible material with heroic virtues. The only copper alloy in common use which is more than a match for it is the same with a bit of nickel.
