Hey mate, thanks for the sub! And yep that’s the same lathe as I have been using, it’s a cool machine for the money! And yeah that would be cool, I’m planning a “lathe upgrades “ kind of deal and that would fit in there nicely, it might be a couple of videos away, but sounds like a fun thing to work through.

@@nomadhandcrafted Looking forward to it.I paid around $1500 secondhand for mine,would loved to of had the next model up with the quick change gearbox,but the budget always dictates.Keep up the good work.

That’s a good buy! And I completely agree about the gearbox, it’s the only thing I wish I had, but I guess you can’t have it all 😂

That’s a really good idea….. I will try that! Thankyou 🙏

Thanks mate, balancing audio has been tricky for me, but I think I have it a fair bit better in all of my videos after that one, it’s hard to know exactly how it sounds on every device when produced. But thanks for the feedback 🙏

Thank you very much! I think it was really worth the time to put one together 👍👍 thanks for checking it out 👍👍

@@nomadhandcrafted I believe you.

Yeah that’s something I have actually done since filming the video, before cutting the taper I could feel a little movement in the cross slide and over tightened the gibs to compensate, I pulled it down the other day and it did need a little love. But took me ages to figure it out at the time 😂 appreciate the feedback though 🙏

Go for it, be that guy! I usually bring it in until it runs true, and then just bump it until it moves ever so slightly to the other side and hit zero. Should I be letting it run out further on the other side?

😂😂 I’m not sure why either! Maybe someone is trying to subliminally message you 😂 appreciate you checking it out , and look forward to bigger and better in the future 😂

Nice man, it is a fun little one! Thanks for checking it out 🙏

Hey man! Thankyou 🙏

Oh I won’t be making a habit of it, I have literally done it that one time on the video and it pushes back pretty hard, I’ll make a fixed one for under power die cutting at some stage. But thanks for checking it out! Appreciate the feedback

For sure! I’ve been using the tail stock or a drill chuck in the tail stock up until now, it’s just nice to have a tool for the job 👍 thanks for checking out the video 🙏

Appreciate that, Thankyou 🙏

That’s a fair point! If I was making any more than 2 clamps I would probably square the whole brass bar, then drill into it on the lathe, and then just slice off the individual pads, but everything seems easier in hindsight 😂 thanks for checking it out!

As always, thanks for checking it out, man, appreciate it 🙏

Probably not the perfect thing for the job, but it's what I had around. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks very much 🙏

I’m actually yet to get a copy, but it’s high on my list. I enjoy the struggle of feeling things out but I’m sure it would help get a lot closer a lot faster. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

@@nomadhandcrafted Machinery's Handbook is great but a better workshop option is the Engineers Black Book (Total Tools carries it in Oz) There is a few pages on fits and tolerances. Nice job on the clamps too 👍

Ah that’s cool, Thankyou, slackness is literally the only reason I haven’t ordered a machinist handbook, but if there’s an excuse to go to total tools, I’m in 😂 and thanks mate, appreciate you checking it out 🙏

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much. Appreciate the support 🙏🙏

Haha me too, I’m kind of addicted to them and want to explore that kind of thing a lot more! Thanks for checking it out man 🙏

@@nomadhandcrafted I'm not sure I could do it this. I would just sit all day making shit round. Good on you for doing it....Loved the video

Haha Thankyou mate, it’s really fun once you start getting into it.

Hey man Thankyou! And why not! They are fun to make and handy to have around. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

Some machine taps are on the list, the ones I have are cheap rubbish, something I have been trying to figure out, I do understand the difference between spirals and straight taps, but if you happen to know, is one better than the other for machine tapping?

@nomadhandcrafted I haven't used spiraled taps before myself. I have great luck with straight ones. The lubricant you use when tapping is like 50% of the issue . Also always use a sharp tap. The softer the metal the sharper the tap you want. Other wise it rips and tears threads.

Ah the sharpness thing make sense on the hardness of material, I’ve been using whatever cutting oil I have around, but I think I might have to pick up some tapping specific fluid by the sounds of it, appreciate the help though 🙏🙏

It’s a really bad answer, but I don’t actually have a taper to suit a drill chuck for my mill 😂 and I didn’t have a collet small enough for that drill bit, but it’s on the list to make 😂 appreciate you checking it out!

@@nomadhandcrafted Well i guess it’s a good reason why it wasn’t used though😂

😂😂 yeah I don’t know how I’ve managed to get by without one, I’m hoping to try my hand at tapers and making one myself soon!

@@nomadhandcrafted google for how to drill copper - soft materials like copper need different rake, different bit angle, different speeds, correct choice of coolants.. Some experiments on drilling different metals and different hole sizes etc would make at least one worthwhile video. Some of the best engineering research comes from making careful measurements and records of purposely pushing stuff to its breaking point. Oh, and the German Copper Institute publishes a 68 page book on the engineering details of machining copper and copper alloys. The book is kinda dry and boring , I wonder if anyone wants to try making its content more interesting

That’s actually an interesting idea, I will write that down on my video ideas list as it could be an interesting rabbit hole. I do have some understanding of how to do it properly, at the time I was just thinking “I’ll buzz a quick hole through this without a whole lot of thought” but with a little research and trial and error I think it could be fun ! Thanks for the idea! 🙏

Hey man , thanks very much 🙏

Hey man thankyou! I'm pretty chuffed with how they turned out!

Haha if I didn't follow the "making something I don't know how to make" I think it would get boring very fast. I'm defiantly on a bit of a tool/machining thing for the next couple of projects, with a lot of figuring it out! As always I really appreciate you following along mate, thanks again!

I completely agree. There is something different about simply figuring things out and seeing what works, and not being limited to what your "supposed" to do. Thanks for checking out the video, I really appreciate the feedback

Thanks very much man 🙏

Yeah sure, is there anything specifically? I didn’t really do any proper drawings, but still have some measurements written down, if you give me a bit of a list I’ll get some together

Thanks man! Those machines have been there the whole time, I use the mill from time to time, but the lathe I’ve basically only ever used to make things “round” and it’s always been my intention to learn to use them properly, maybe we can get a shop tour at 1000 subs 😉😂 thanks mate, I appreciate you following along

Thanks very much, I appreciate you following along 🙏🙏

Thanks very much, I do like that one a lot, appreciate you checking it out 👍

Hey man, thanks very much, pretty stoked with how it turned out

Thanks for the kind words, it's a lot of work, but really fun and rewarding at the same time, appreciate you checking it out!

Thanks mate, appreciate you following along!

Not that I’m aware of, they are still all going in the same direction, and I’ve never had an issue, but what your saying makes sense, I’ve just never seen it be an issue. Thanks for checking it out !

Hey! Thanks very much, appreciate it 👍👍

Thanks very much 🙏

Thanks man, got some bigger ideas for the next few videos! Thanks for checking it out

😂😂 she’s right I wouldn’t say I know much about anything in general, but sounds like your day went quite well 😉 thanks for checking it out 🙏

Look now that you say it your right, I’ve used it before but I definitely didn’t think of it at the time 😂 and yeah that blue paint sucks, but I can’t seem to buy raw rhs here at all anymore..

Thanks very much, it's not the most complex build, but i do really like the finished product. Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks very much!

Thanks man, appreciate you checking it out

Sometimes I just don't have the right tools for the job, so you gotta do what you gotta do, but haven't lost a finger yet!

Thanks very much. I am saving my pennies for a proper cabinet saw that has a bigger work surface in general. And as for the dowels, unfortunately the throat on that little bandsaw wouldn't let me trim the dowels down, I have picked up a flush trim saw since filming, but unfortunately it was late at night at the time and just wanted to get a little more work done. But thanks for checking it out, and appreciate the feedback
