You have just changes my life.... Making my chess set will only take 2 years now instead of the 7 I was thinking
You would have more of the chess set done by now if you weren't spending your evenings tunneling out of Shawshank prison behind a poster of Rita Hayworth.
Usually my time saving efforts end up slightly in the red numbers XD
Me: I'm going to make a chess set on my lathe. Look at how good my first pawn came out.
My friend: How are you going to make the knights?
Me: Shut up.
The optimistics say 2 years, the pessimists say “last career project before arthritis settle in”
@@roadshowautosports Well it is going to be a retirement project intended to keep me out of the way of SWMBO who would otherwise find many many many other things to occupy my time. The more I think about it - it might be like painting the Forth Road Bridge - and I will never finish 😁😁😁😁.
Congrats on the new shop Quinn!
4:20 Dying in a collapsed pile of end-cuts suggests a life well lived😎
Rarely do I laugh out loud at a RUclips video but this got me. Quinn has such a great sense of humor!
I first saw this tool on Prezzo's channel, and was astonished at how clever it was, it had never occurred to me that this would be possible on a metal lathe. I can see how anyone wanting to make steam-age models would see this as essential for all those brass finials and linkages on their Victorian/Edwardian models. Great for shower doorknobs, too!

Thanks for the shoutout Quinn. Welcome to the turnado club! I am still finding new uses for mine. It is definitely hard work though!
Your video was very helpful! 😄
@@Blondihacks I got a noticeable bump in views! The Blondihacks effect! :D
@@CreaseysWorkshop Haha, that's great! 😄
I liked that technique of using the tailstock as a guide at the end. Cool little tip there!
I will now attempt (15 yr delay) to replicate the badly corroded original compound handles on my Logan 820. Thanks for an excellent technical channel.
I hope that all of your viewers (past and future) appreciate and pick up on the little gems of information scattered within this presentation. Kudos.
It's so easy for me to understand you since I'm a retired software engineer into electronics and machining. You just make sense to me. I'm glad you're there and I'm glad so many others follow your channel.
Astonishing. What a fabulous piece of kit. Eccentric Engineering are well known here in the UK. They advertise in all the Model Engineering publications. Australia to Canada. Great example of Commonwealth cooperation!
She upped and moved across the border to crazy world..
@@lohikarhu734 You are the crazy ones. You could still be in the fold if you hadn't thrown all that tea in the harbour.
too right🦘🙃
Hi Quinn. I’m a newcomer to your channel. I’ve really enjoyed watching a few recent videos and going back through the catalog of old series and videos you have already done. I’m a machinist by trade in the US and really like sitting back and watching you work. Hopefully one day I can have a hobby shop of my own and make stuff I want to make instead of huge parts for our customers here. You seem very knowledgeable and I love the tempo of your content. I definitely subscribed and hope to stick around as long as I can. Thanks for your time!
I still don't have a mill or lathe, or even the space or funds for them, but when I do I'll be so prepared from watching your videos!
It's worth checking if there's any local community workshops near you. I found one and it let me play with machines I'd never be able to afford!
I like the way you keep your offcuts. Clean and properly marked😊
Listening to your thought processes really enhanced my learning, thanks. This jig will be on my wish list. Glad that you're back on the air!
I purchased one of these about 5 months ago and I have loved it every day since!
This is fascinating! I have a busy day today, but as soon as I can come up for air, I'm going to spend some time on this video. Thanks for all you do!
The lighting in the new workshop looks fantastic
Oh was this is awesome!! I'm looking forward to see you incorporate this badass new tool into future projects! 👍👍
Thanks for all the yummy episodes to view and learn from... Cheers!
That's very nice, so one could 3D print a template and then cut the end product with this tool.
Awesome.
Thanks for sharing!
And I already thought machine tools created magic! This is amazing.
Thanks for that, Eccentric's Diamond Tool Holder goes well on small lathes too.
It goes well on bigger lathes too. It's all I use for aluminium and brass due to the ease of getting accurate razor sharp tips. I have one of the original larger versions that can take 3/8" HSS as well as 5/16". I dont have the LH one though, only RH, eventually I will need to add it.
@@benchapman5247 Thanks, I am using the 1/4 Crobalt on just about everything. The LH is worth getting too.
Wow, I've been at this fifty years, stole into it, and this is one of the best demonstrations of such a tool I've ever seen. I've done a fair amount of turning metal as per "a wood lathe" to make similar shapes, free-hand, better than nothing, but this looks to be a great asset. Thanks for such good demonstration capability!
That is such a great tool!!! In awe of the result with the scribe!
Fantastic tool, to feel the metal cutting in your fingers, heady moment. A paintbrush, like TIG .Like the copying feature and tailstock tip. Only the watch makers cut raw netal by single fulcrum, great to see this forward footed company making art tools.
Nice! This is just what I needed to make my Christmas ornaments. Cheers!
Excellent fitment and demonstration Quinn, well thought out design, looking forward to more to come.
Most magnanimous of the viewer donation
Great detailed explanation of its function, and compare to the Pantograph.
Thanks for sharing and stay safe all.
Regards John.
Wow! How fabulous! As I realised what this could do ideas flew to mind. I thought one could 3d print in pla & then replicate in steel. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Quinn, a nice addition to your toolroom. Chris of Click Spring free styles many a job using a less exacting method than the Turnado. I only mention this because you have mentioned Chris in the past. Stay safe and thank you for sharing this unique tool with us.
I thought of that too - but he's usually making really small things in brass, which is why he can get away with it I think.
Yes, Chris is using the traditional watch/clock makers form of free hand turning. It's how all the parts used to be made before precision slides were common on lathes. You can be incredibly accurate, but it does require a lot of skill. The turnado seems to open the doors to those who want an easier and safer way to go about free hand turning. The copy attachment looks really useful as well, for those repeat parts!
Great honest review, I can see this tool would be very handy for cosmetic finish and touches thanks for sharing
Absolutely brilliant tool! Well done.
wow i have learnt something new about using a vice and mine is the same as yours, I did not know why there were threads in the back.
Anyway, what a faboulouse and well made device
Thank you for showing.
wonder if you could add a lever to the contour linkage, get some mechanical advantage and increase the resolution of your hand movements for surface finish
That sounds like a great idea, and it would probably take a lot of the strain off your fingers ✌🏼
Your lighting is looking really good in the new shop!
Yea her lighting looks real crisp in the new shop
I've watched EE demo this on the gram over the past while - with extra interest as a fellow Aussie - and it's awesome to see it in your hands and working well half way around the world. I've got a set of his Diamond Tool Holders and love them to bits.
That was absolutely marvellous!
Really good video as usual and looks like a great little tool to add to my wish list !!
I have a bunch of offcuts bolts plate bar you name it I can't seem to get rid of it but when I have in the past it never failed that 2 days later I needed what I tossed out
I'm a fan of Eccentric Engineering, nice to see this device in use. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for showing us how to copy parts wow great skills, I have an old 9inch standard modern lathe that I managed to save from the scrappers. I am so happy to find your channel. You think outside the box.😊
Watchmaker lathes are Kings of the Land of Freehand. Very cool to see this done on slightly larger lathes.
Very cool. And 24:00 was worth the price of admission!!! Thanks Miss Quinn-dolen. Outstanding....
My chest peaces would be called the odd bunch I think blondi world call me a shenanigan😂😂❤
Lol. I just shared yesterday your ball making video. Now I will share another.
That is a incredible tool thanks for showing us.
I really enjoy your content. Please keep putting out more.
Lots of part copying rigs that I've seen have some sort of spring or counter weight system to apply a constant pressure to the tool as it feeds back and forth over the work piece up to where the template is hit.
I just came across your channel for the first time. You re like therapy. 😊
Very interesting tool Quinn!
I also like the way Chris at Clickspring does the freehand lathe work as well. Great place for old world treatment of metal turnings!
I think this tool can be as accurate as a regular ball turning tool, with many other benefits!
thanks for sharing! kool tool, but i love the tip you added to the end of the video. your tips and tricks are the most fun.
I can't wait for my percsion matthews 12x36 lathe to come in. I've been watching you for many years. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your effort and knowledge.
I bought both the large and small Rose-Indexes! (Very well made by the way.) -and now I too want to make a chess set!
Thank you Quinn!!!
That shim stock trick was worth the price of entry. Thank you!
I like that tip about using shim stock as a drill backstop... I could have used that earlier today when I was drilling L angle.
cool tool and a great explanation of how to use it
That is about the coolest thing in machining I’ve ever seen! I must have one!!
It would be a lot easier to install if you have two lathes!
As a metal spinner (precious metals mostly) the chucks (formers) were mostly turned freehand by hand on a T rest using just templates as reference, in brass aluminium and steel - a machinist I knew thought it was little short of madness, but everyday practice to me!
Great demo of a very interesting tool. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
That thing looks like a lot of fun.
I am a Toolmaker, it's been some years since I worked in the Trade but I am commencing to set up a tool room at my for something to do in retirement here in Australia. I've watched many of your videos, you are amazing. You could put quite a few Tradesman to shame. All the best.
Yours Sincerely
Bernard Higgins.
Great review. I have the Turnado, but I don't have all the fancy accessories you got. That viewer must love your channel, because the full kit ain't cheap! I agree about the amount of force required to make it cut. I found it cut easier when using the opposite end of the tool bit with the large radius cutting edge. So I use that end unless the profile I'm cutting requires the pointy end of the bit.
Beautiful tricks and ideas. Machining is fascinating!
I have of these, it’s terrific for the weird little side jobs. For those folks with hand, wrist, finger and thumb injuries, be aware the continuous hand pressure Quinn talks about cannot be over stated. I went nearly five days of extreme thumb pain, it’s not immediate, onset is over the next 24 hours or so.
6:28 nice. Cool tool, thanks for sharing Quinn.
Inspiring individual! I am now looking into lathe as a hobbyist
Oh! Excentric Engineering! I bought their HSS tangential tool holders for my lathe. Great stuff!
Very cool tool - thanks for sharing this!
"why I will someday die in a collapsed pile of offcuts" you and me both, Quinn.
This is an amazing little set up, glad I don't need to mess with it. Rock on Quinn! 22:00 "Theoretically if some had a shower knob from a previous project?"
Love da new shop!
'Chambers are what separate us from the animals'... love it.
That is super cool! Way better than my step turning adjustment tool idea 😄 now you gotta make a bracket to hold a piece like the shower knob in the other direction but make it easier to adjust the height of the template because I bet that's going to be really hard to get just right, especially if you have to do a full radius on the end!
Always enjoy your videos!
Why hasn't RUclips recommended your channel to me before. Awesome work and fun witty commentary :)
Really cool I've been eyeing one of those for awhile the other cool thing of theirs I've been looking at is their endmill sharpening kit they have some pretty cool stuff 👍👍👍
looks like an amazing tool!!!! i bet you could make some kind of pointer that registers in the plate below to get the radius tool lined up easier, just a thought.
SO COOL. on my wish list now
Looks so neat. Maybe add a spring to provide the tool pressure for template following, and then all you need to do is move the carriage back and forth whilst advancing the slide?
I finally got mine installed. I had to make a radiused thingy for a machine I was rebuilding. After getting the turnado mounted and set up I made the part out of mild steel. But then I had to wrangle the turnado off and reinstall my compound to part off the part. If I had to do a few parts it would get old quickly. I think I might try to mount a parting tool on the platform. That was the only drawback I could see and probably easily surmountable
Holy cow this is awesome... well yes, awesome for you of course. watching this (four months late) allows me to enjoy it vicariously through you, without the risk of potentially losing digits and cash. 😅
Good work and looking lovely
For the bracket, you could make a part to attach the actual cutting tool to the left of the scribe so that you could cut a part away from the part being used as a reference. It would also give you more space for larger parts too
Never seen this before. Thanks for sharing.
Cool Tool Quinn
Great video. I really enjoyed it.
Hi, thank you for trailing an Aussie product SWWEEET!, love your work, Peter South Australia, Clare Valley.
Very interesting. Great video.
Looks mental Quinn, love you and your channel....
PS tangent ,can you recommend cobalt drill bits please nothing larger than 13mm ? Thanks.
Great video as always! I am sure Adam Savage would love this.
I'm glad I subscribe. This video turned [sic] up in my general feed and I was about to pass over it until I saw it was a review BY you. I know the Turnado and have their tool grinding system - built from their plans.
I wanted to see what you thought of it.
They're a great company.
What a cool tool!
"...but only with consent" One of my new favorites
Very similar to a wood lathe tracer. Nicely done.
Hi Quinn, it takes me 30 minutes to make any part let alone that knob thank you for that.
That’s a great piece of kit Quinn,have you watched Chris from Click Spring doing hand forming?
10:16 "Turns out if you measure things carefully, they fit!" -- someone who doesn't own a 3D printer
I feel you! That was every experience I had using the CR-10 at my work. She does, though. Those slot plugs on her cross slide are 3d printed
@@evanbarnes9984 does anyone really OWN a 3d printer though? They seem more like cats, in that you share a space with them and sometimes convince them that producing a good part was actually their idea
@@instazx2 I mean so far, my Prusa is more like a dog. We hang out, do fun things together, play around, explore the world, and just get along! It's actually a tool rather than a project, it's really nice
Wow,
Just watching one off my favourite RUclipsrs,
An I got a warm lovely feeling.
Seeing a Eccentric Turning, from my home town featured.
Ok I’m Biased but that was nice ❤.
The pantograph bit has throwbacks to James watts copy mill of about 1800, great to see a good idea reworked for a different application.
I think you mean Portrait or Landscape. 😄
Chris (Clickspring) seems to freehand all kind of complex curves on his lathe. 🤔
I guess we can't all attain his god-like turning abilities...
You could use your tailstock method to get it close with the stainless then finish it up with the tornado to make it easier on the hands.
11:07 the most helpful conversion to ever exist 😂
Thanks!
Quinn gets a new tool with all kinds of cool attachments, then makes one of her own.
That's just what we expect.
