In my last years as a tool and die maker I had a drafting table (actually known as a drafting machine) placed right beside my bench to design my jigs, fixtures and dies on. Once CAD became popular all the company drafting tables became obsolete and were thrown out. They’re nevertheless marvelous machines and time savers for hobby machine shops.
@@InheritanceMachining perhaps, but like manual machining is great to see it done. Reminder of how we did things before computers took over everything. I appreciated the compass scrip in layout fluid for the radius in the end too. No one shows layout work instead relying on a DRO anywhere. Not everyone has a DRO on their mill/lathe.
@@TEDodd this old tony has used layout fluid in many of his vids, but your right, not many youtubers use that stuff. I also appreciate seeing the old drafting board being used. You can make drawings as good and professional looking as cad with enough expertise, i think. Physical drawings obviously have their limitations, but its how everything was designed pre-cad. Break out your slide ruler.
@@ctdieselnut I've seen him use a little here and there, but not a full layout for mill work. And many will use something on a lathe (lots of Sharpes) to show stop points as a visual reference, but they rely on a DRO for the actually stop. I think it would nice to see channels that are vintage/manual oriented actually use the techniques from 50 years ago instead of adding and relying on modern DROs for everything. Like manual drafting vs CAD, it good to remember the old methods. Could be handy when things breaks. Watched one guy with an old drawing meant for manual layout and he complained about it not all being referenced from a single point. So he redrew in CAD to reference that way and did the entire project with the drawing and DRO. No marks anywhere to even check he was in the right spot. (Of course he also converted all the fractional inches to meters too)
I don't think any of us are questioning what you are thinking. It would be absurd to have a plain off the shelf clamp with the bespoke tools you've made. It's like asking Clickspring why he polishes every surface meticulously. :D
Clickspring actually mentioned why he does that in one of his recent videos. True, part of the answer was "Because that's what I do," but another aspect is that his background is clock making and fine fit and finish is important in that field (his words).
You sir are a master of your craft.. I find your videos mesmerizing.. I only wish I had seen this kind of stuff earlier in my life.. I would have loved to study with a master such as yourself.. I’m 55 and am worried that I am too old to try to begin to get near being as good as you are.. so I will enjoy your videos in amazement and hopeful you are able to continue to pass this vast knowledge to carry on this skill.. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us..
Once again you have made everything I've ever machined look like a dog chewed it. Well done sir. My build of the week was welding up a series of reclaimed bed frames into a sweet wood storage rack for my garage. It tripped the wood storage in my garage solving some long standing issues and cost me $10 in materials. Maybe I'll put some brass knobs on it to make me feel better lol
Your hand drawn designs are a thing of beauty all in themselves. To watch them then become a three-dimensional, tangible work of art is incredibly satisfying. I aso love the calming tone of your videos and the fact you don't shy away from mistakes or side projects, we all have them! 👍 As a CAM engineer, watching you on your manual journeys is very humbling... I'm sure your grandfather would be proud of you. Kudos to you, keep up the good work my friend. Good luck. 🙏💪
@@roelofliebenberg2880 it even auto played for me the other day too. This is what I should have studied in life. Hands on and brain work. Love the drawing and detailed work.
The beauty of your work reaffirms my decision to stick with woodworking. I'll remain happy with 1/16" or 1/8" precision and simply enjoy machining vicariously through your channel.
It's that engineering degree again. The thought process you have is impeccable. Us mere mortals wouldn't last a second in your brain. Every video you make I impatiently wait for. Yet again... beautiful creations and down to earth work that show you can make mistakes, and still deliver. I wish I had your shop.
Love love the sound effect you’re adding subtitles on Table squeaks 😅 brilliant! It’s brilliant to attract deaf people to watch your work! Keep it coming! ❤
I cant get over how beautiful your creations are. You're extremely talented - but I think i know your secret sauce... The planning. The effort and amount of work you put in prior to making chips is incredible, and it shows. Also, that lockout tag is great 😂
That's my grandfather! 😁 Yes the planning is definitely a huge part in anything I make coming out presentable. Both so I know what I am actually making, and so I know how I will film it. Thanks!
Totally OTT for a set of clamps but a real work of art. MAGNIFICENT. A pleasure to watch and nicely edited with explicit commentary with boringly making up watch hours of machining.
Having done manual drafting through my early career. An old time drafter I worked with taught me to rotate the pencil as you drew the line to ensure the point remained sharp and a constant thickness. Good to see you doing the same thing. Great channel and look forward to your videos
Me too. As the formats progressed to ink, crayon on mylar was the epitome of being able to draw fast (rotating the holder) without breaking the 'crayon'. Nice thing though was also the ability to erase without messing up the surface. You simply rubbed out a mistake with water. I have a permanent dent in my middle finger. As for time: The actual drawing time for these would be pretty quick. Research and calcs would take 2x the actual. He is drawing on vellum, may want to consider the more temp. stable mylar. Remembering now: To save the vellum expense I would have students draw the entire project on bum wad. Temp and humidity excluded, the trace approved then, the execution of the final drawing would be done. For the actual drafting example shown: 30min max. The mistakes on execution made while I was viewing: Cringe factor 5. Do people really want to watch drafting? I was looking at my collection of beam compasses, ships curves, pink triangles, green iso templates, erasing shields, vemco compasses, w&g scales, dietzgen, the old Hamilton table. Hmm. And, I'm a lefty so, that doesn't work really well for demonstrations... Plus, It was hard to be a bent over asshole and elbow all day! Excellent video anyway.
Now you can display them in a glass case on black velvet like the jewelry they are. Outstanding craftsmanship Brandon, I wish your Grandpa could see what you are doing with your inheritance. Art from Ohio
Literally just checked your channel 45 minutes ago to see if you posted & then boom 20 minutes later you did. Always look forward to watching these! I literally just dropped some drawings off at my local machine shop wishing i could do it myself like you do!
I've been in that same boat so many times myself. I'd even imagine the process I would take to make some parts haha Thanks for keeping an eye out for this vid!
My primary comment is. If any one has taken Drafting classes in school, I did. At 66yrs old, this has followed my 44 year career and it was extremely helpful, to even hand sketch out something. To take it from your head to paper, it saved me real mistakes versus scraping out materials. I enjoy your drawings. 😊
This is a outstanding job. Great and very useful idea. The esthetics are very pleasing. Intricate and fully functional. Thanks for sharing this process. Take care, Ed.
Dude. That. is. awesome. You have given all of us a new bar. What I love about your channel is that it's 90% your design and careful planning and attention to detail. I can only imagine the sweat and tears that go into making a video like this on top of the amazing work you are doing. The parts look unreal, the narration is too easy. thanks for sharing! By far my favorite channel.
Hey there! Glad to see you making your own hold downs. Made some myself not to long ago... Nothing like the feeling of making your own tools. One little tip from my end. I know that it is always in the "quick and dirty" bank to hold an endmill in a jacob's chuck.... But I would really recommend against it. The cutting forces are so much higher than a drill and the clamping forces are low and uneven. It can be very inaccurate (i know it didn't matter on this one) but also dangerous to person/part/tooling alike. (think tool slipping, binding, breaking) I like a morse taper with a bore and a close fit bushing. A grub screw holds it in place on a flat present on many larger HSS endmills. It will run slightly larger on most c'bores do to the screw... but is usually passable or accountable for. As ever, love what your doing and I can't wait to see what's next!. Thanks for your work!
Good call there! If I was going any serious plunging in a harder metal I probably would have taken the time to come up with something more robust. Might actually be a good idea to make some sort of collet adaptor for the tailstock for just this purpose. Thanks!
I have been waiting for your next video, and its finally here. As I expected it did not disappoint, this is the reason your channel is one of my favorites. I hope you keep making videos for a very long time. Thank you for the entertainment.
Another amazing video, well done. Also, wanted to say thank you, when I first found your video I didn't really care about machining or anything like it, I had interest in some traditional work a long time ago but that's it and your videos got me so interested that I'm currently waiting for the wood to arrive for my first woodwork project. I probably wouldn't have had the interest in "making things" without your videos =).
That's one of the best things I could hear, honestly. I find making things so rewarding and therapeutic and I love hearing that others are getting into it as well. Good luck on your first build!
When you have the ability to make the tools for making tools you are on a whole new skill level. Very impressive. I'm sure your Grandfather would be very proud of your accomplishments.
Friday evening, wife is busy with Patterns for sewing. I have the remote to the TV, a cold beer & my feet up in my favourite armchair. To complete this paradise feeling is another Masterpiece of Engineering delivered in the best Narrative style on RUclips. Thank you so much for making my Friday Evening fantastic.
This was a joy to watch! Even for me! Can’t imagine how joyful it was for you to make them. And you also get to smile every single time you use then! Lucky man. Now all that’s missing is a proper box in which to keep them. Hats off, sir!
I stumbled upon your channel the day I write this, and I binged a lot of your videos. I'm a professional mechanic and car builder--a passion and a standard of work I inherited from my father--and an amateur machinist with that same standard that far exceeds my own capabilities. Seeing this kind of quality and attention from another maker is always encouraging, especially when I don't yet have the skill to match my vision in this arena. I'm actually 30 minutes away from you but I'm moving in just a week out of KY. Who'd've thought the whole time your neighbor was a masterwork craftsman.
The hold down clamps are beautiful. In fact, they look far too nice to ever use them. I'd just put them aside for display and make another set for use. Those clamps are so nice looking that people who don't even know what they are used for would appreciate them. p.s. - I've never been a fan of the low cost standard clamp set. They do not always properly fit the height of the work piece and they become deformed over time, making them even worse to use.
Content quality on this channel is astounding. And cherry on top - intro always being takeouts from the project, not some generic, always the same intro. Hats off!
Hi jus wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel and your attention to detail is inspiring to a 60 yr young newbie to machining, love the side projects and I will be making a box of Shame it may to turn into a big box 🤣 keep the projects coming all the best from the UK
Once again you've outdone yourself. Not only are your creations functional, but they are also works of art. Your time spent at the drawing board is time well spent. Too many machinists build from rough sketches only to find their parts don't fully meet their needs. They then justify their partial success with the caveat, "I'll do it better next time." You make parts according to your design. You then think, after making the part "How can I make it better?" Bob
There's nothing like the sound and feel of a good sharp pencil on paper. kids nowadays always use tablets and too many electronics, they just don't get the chance to feel the satisfaction of pressing lead to paper and watching your design come to life with your own hands. I have nothing against AutoCAD, I'm certified in it also, but I just love the feel of pressing a pencil and watching my drawings come to life.
Beautiful work. I personally would love to see the tools you just made 30 years in the future. That’s just my love for old tools and the patina and hand polish from decades of loving use. My favorite tap and die set in my tool collection is from the 1880s and is just so beautiful the way knurling ages and the blue grey of the steel. Your a lucky man to have inherited your grandfathers legacy tools.
it was so good seeing you again. i didnt realize how much i missed that opening music until id heard it. really soothed my mind on whats been a rough couple of days. thank you, i really needed that 😊
The talent you have perfected (this is my opinion, I am allowed to say perfect and all forms of that word as well) absolutely amases me. I wish I was able to perform similar tasks. my goal in my retirement was to assemble a shop to make and sell things to finance my hobby. My advise to everyone is simple: Enjoy life now while you are able. Never use the excuse of tomorrow. I believe there are thousands of guys like me out there who watch your content and are inspired to do what they enjoyed. I never got the privilege of spending quality time with my grandfathers. My paternal grandfather passed before I was 3. All I can remember of my maternal grandfather is Winston Cigarettes and black coffee. He was a man's man that worked the coal mines of Montana and the Oil Fields of Wyoming. Cancer stole him from us when I was 8. All I have of him now is his gold watch from 30 years of employment from Amoco Oil. You Sir truly have a gift and a talent that you have perfected - that talent is the ability to tell a story. I hope someday you are able to pass on your knowledge to a grandchild of your own. I hope you are not able to keep your kids out of the shop as they learn that a mistake is just trying and succeeding at the wrong outcome. By the way the camera work is clearly better than when you first started. Thank you for sharing your passion. It really helps take my blues away.
I really appreciate the kind words and wisdom, Timmy. Sometimes it's easy to forget that our time is limited and to make the most of every day while we can. Whether it be in our own doings or with our loved ones. Thanks again
Once a again a shop project of striking beauty! The combination of steel and brass is magical and with the black accents of the screws it's a proper piece of art. Thank you for sharing!
I’m in awe 🎉 Fell in love with Paige’s channel & miss the content. However, if one had to end, what a treat to earn a glimpse into a world that I’ve never known! Who wishes every kid in school had an opportunity to explore machining?
I made a Tool Makers clamp 49 years ago as an apprentice, the UK was changing to metric so all the dimensions are in mm, it was a filing, turning milling exercise, nothing as fancy as this but I still have it, never been used, couldn't bring myself to maar the finish I spent hours polishing with a file filled with chalk, lovely work Sir!
One of my favorite parts of these videos as a long time viewer is seeing you use tools I watched you make in previous videos. The hammer and center-cut saw. Thinking about you recording them on your recently completed camera boom setup. Your channel is a true joy.
I'll be honest, I love machines, it may or may not sound weird, but I love them, now don't take me from some mechanic genius, I'm a beginner at best, but every mechanism is magnificent in my opinion, even the simple ones, even just a threaded rod that turns and holds. And whenever I see mechanism and "machines" of this kind, where everypart is beautifully made, bright and shiny, spotless clean, I just love it. I may be doing a disservice to mechanics calling a lever and a what is essentially a bolt a machine but it's beautiful in my opinion.
I mean it's amazing and impressive how you've raised the bar in content, quality of filming and editing for machinist work on RUclips. Your channel and Cutting Edge Engineering are the two best machinists channels by far.
As always, beautifull!!! 👍, I really enjoy seeing you discovering, restoring an using all those marvelous tools you have from the 50s or so, I feel your grandfather was a very interesting person to know and I like to see those "world" of enjoyment (in form of "talking" tools) in good hands! TKS for the videos, regards from Bolivia.
Honestly, these videos infuriate me! They make me want a machine shop of my own even though im only 15 and even a small shop would cost upwards of 20,000$ with old/used machines! I love your videos but i long to have my own shop one day too!
Well done! I was just looking at an old picture of my grandfather, remembering our time together in his shop, and wondering what he would tell me about how I've been using his tools... and any advice about life in general. After a deep sigh, i come to RUclips and the algorithm knew I needed to see your video today. Thanks.
These clamps are artful pieces of holding kit. Perfect for my CNC t-slot bed. I’m inspired to make a set with brass t-nuts and brass hold down feet like yours.
I studied mechanical engineering too and in drawing class we started by drawing with hands and could swap the digital drawing later if we wanted. I was a huge fan of hand drawings because you think the design more through because changing something is a lot harder on paper compared with the digital method and i really enjoyed it.
You are now added to my list of machining heros on YT. Your Grand Dad has to be looking over your shoulder and whispering in your ear how incredibly proud he is of you and how happy he is to see his tools being used to make beautiful projects. I can't wait to see what you do next and what I can learn from from your great talent. Stay well and keep up the great work. Oh - and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us.
I know next to nothing about machining yet I love the videos you make. There is something really nice about seeing someone create something that is functional, precise and beautiful. Seeing your work made me realize how much thought is put into designing objects whose fabrication process is well structured, efficient, and precise. Seeing these designs come to life is always satisfying and relaxing.
Your workmanship is so satisfying to watch. I’ve got so much to learn and a short time to do it. If you want some ideas on content, I’d love to see what you can teach us using a small rotary table or dividing head. I’ve got a couple of them now and I’m not sure how to make them do what I need yet. Machining is such a interesting and vast world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
It is likely just my mind being in the gutter, but I audibly chuckled at "Yup, that's adequately grippy."
This is not just making parts, this is artistry. Thank you sir for sharing your projects with us!

I honestly love watching the drafting table work. It’s unique in the RUclips machining channels.

Very resourceful! Though if you add brass knobs you'd blow all that savings out of the water 😂 But seriously, thanks for the kind words 🙏
Brass knobs make everything better 😊
Gods, everytime you use that drafting table, it makes me miss Intro to Engi Design...the precision of a well made design draft is SO SATISFYING.
Your hand drawn designs are a thing of beauty all in themselves.
To watch them then become a three-dimensional, tangible work of art is incredibly satisfying.

Kudos to you, keep up the good work my friend.
Good luck. 🙏💪
Thanks so much!
Brass is truly the machinist's gold. I like how it contrasts with oxidized and fresly cut steel.
I really is. I use it every chance I get (when I can afford it of course 😂)
Your precision and pride in your work is intensely satisfying!
thank you 😊
I’m not a machinist, and I never will be one… So why do I enjoy these videos so much? Beautiful work by the way!

I have a machinist's challenge for you - create something that looks like a hand sketch.😬
This 😂
As you've said, it's called a hand sketch and he made alot of those, there are some in this video even :)
@@heitorgoku no I mean exactly like a loosely sketched drawing. Ain’t done that yet
@@kz6fittycent As in like non parallel sides, unsquare corners etc?
@@kz6fittycent look at 4:10 should pay more attention
I stumbled upon your channel the day I write this, and I binged a lot of your videos.
I'm a professional mechanic and car builder--a passion and a standard of work I inherited from my father--and an amateur machinist with that same standard that far exceeds my own capabilities.
Seeing this kind of quality and attention from another maker is always encouraging, especially when I don't yet have the skill to match my vision in this arena.
I'm actually 30 minutes away from you but I'm moving in just a week out of KY. Who'd've thought the whole time your neighbor was a masterwork craftsman.
One way to look at that is there is always room to grow. Which for me is what keeps me interested. Thanks, man.
BTW, where in KY?

@@jwwhitmarsh8411 Nice. I lived there for a couple years
Do you chamfer the crust on your sandwiches?
All 4 edges on both sides
So nice to watch your videos. Every time I receive an alert from your tube, I'm already sure it will be a wonderful evening for me.
Thank you Sir!
My pleasure! Thank you as well
The hold down clamps are beautiful. In fact, they look far too nice to ever use them. I'd just put them aside for display and make another set for use. Those clamps are so nice looking that people who don't even know what they are used for would appreciate them.
p.s. - I've never been a fan of the low cost standard clamp set. They do not always properly fit the height of the work piece and they become deformed over time, making them even worse to use.
That's a hurdle I'll have to cross eventually haha Thanks a bunch!
Content quality on this channel is astounding. And cherry on top - intro always being takeouts from the project, not some generic, always the same intro. Hats off!
Credit for all that goes to my wife 😁 Thanks!
23:25 so this entire video was just a... side project.
😎
Hi jus wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel and your attention to detail is inspiring to a 60 yr young newbie to machining, love the side projects and I will be making a box of Shame it may to turn into a big box 🤣 keep the projects coming all the best from the UK
(table squeaks)
How does this channel not have millions of subs? His work is amazing!!
Chamfer Level: 1000
Easily one of your top 3 projects. Gorgeous.
First! RUclips, do algorithm things
Once again you've outdone yourself. Not only are your creations functional, but they are also works of art.
Your time spent at the drawing board is time well spent. Too many machinists build from rough sketches only to find their parts don't fully meet their needs. They then justify their partial success with the caveat, "I'll do it better next time." You make parts according to your design. You then think, after making the part "How can I make it better?"
Bob
Thanks, Bob! I definitely owe my success to thorough designs!
There's nothing like the sound and feel of a good sharp pencil on paper. kids nowadays always use tablets and too many electronics, they just don't get the chance to feel the satisfaction of pressing lead to paper and watching your design come to life with your own hands. I have nothing against AutoCAD, I'm certified in it also, but I just love the feel of pressing a pencil and watching my drawings come to life.
Beautiful work. I personally would love to see the tools you just made 30 years in the future. That’s just my love for old tools and the patina and hand polish from decades of loving use. My favorite tap and die set in my tool collection is from the 1880s and is just so beautiful the way knurling ages and the blue grey of the steel. Your a lucky man to have inherited your grandfathers legacy tools.
I completely agree. The patina and age is the only thing I wish my tool had. In due time I guess. Thanks for the kind words!
it was so good seeing you again. i didnt realize how much i missed that opening music until id heard it. really soothed my mind on whats been a rough couple of days. thank you, i really needed that 😊
Been a while hasn't it? 😊 Glad to share. Thanks!
Your grandpa would be proud of you. Keep up the creativity and the fantastic work
Those are the most beautiful clamps I've ever seen!
The talent you have perfected (this is my opinion, I am allowed to say perfect and all forms of that word as well) absolutely amases me. I wish I was able to perform similar tasks. my goal in my retirement was to assemble a shop to make and sell things to finance my hobby.
My advise to everyone is simple: Enjoy life now while you are able. Never use the excuse of tomorrow. I believe there are thousands of guys like me out there who watch your content and are inspired to do what they enjoyed. I never got the privilege of spending quality time with my grandfathers. My paternal grandfather passed before I was 3. All I can remember of my maternal grandfather is Winston Cigarettes and black coffee. He was a man's man that worked the coal mines of Montana and the Oil Fields of Wyoming. Cancer stole him from us when I was 8. All I have of him now is his gold watch from 30 years of employment from Amoco Oil. You Sir truly have a gift and a talent that you have perfected - that talent is the ability to tell a story. I hope someday you are able to pass on your knowledge to a grandchild of your own. I hope you are not able to keep your kids out of the shop as they learn that a mistake is just trying and succeeding at the wrong outcome.
By the way the camera work is clearly better than when you first started. Thank you for sharing your passion. It really helps take my blues away.
I really appreciate the kind words and wisdom, Timmy. Sometimes it's easy to forget that our time is limited and to make the most of every day while we can. Whether it be in our own doings or with our loved ones. Thanks again
Once a again a shop project of striking beauty! The combination of steel and brass is magical and with the black accents of the screws it's a proper piece of art. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Bro, the wound on your hand is proof that you are a hard worker. yiu got my respect bro ! 👏🏻
This is museum quality work! I so appreciate your work. I know your Grandfather is watching from above!
Thanks, Jim!
that's art right there.
very nice work.
your grandfather would be proud.
thank you 🙏
I’m in awe 🎉 Fell in love with Paige’s channel & miss the content. However, if one had to end, what a treat to earn a glimpse into a world that I’ve never known! Who wishes every kid in school had an opportunity to explore machining?
I made a Tool Makers clamp 49 years ago as an apprentice, the UK was changing to metric so all the dimensions are in mm, it was a filing, turning milling exercise, nothing as fancy as this but I still have it, never been used, couldn't bring myself to maar the finish I spent hours polishing with a file filled with chalk, lovely work Sir!
Perfection your grandfather would be proud of your attention to detail good job Mr
I really appreciate that! Thank you
The more whooshy background noise you add during the drafting table segment, the more ASMR it is
One of my favorite parts of these videos as a long time viewer is seeing you use tools I watched you make in previous videos. The hammer and center-cut saw. Thinking about you recording them on your recently completed camera boom setup. Your channel is a true joy.
I'll be honest, I love machines, it may or may not sound weird, but I love them, now don't take me from some mechanic genius, I'm a beginner at best, but every mechanism is magnificent in my opinion, even the simple ones, even just a threaded rod that turns and holds.
And whenever I see mechanism and "machines" of this kind, where everypart is beautifully made, bright and shiny, spotless clean, I just love it.
I may be doing a disservice to mechanics calling a lever and a what is essentially a bolt a machine but it's beautiful in my opinion.
The drafting table ASMR was awesome!!! Great video as always
Thanks!
I love the side project counts. I feel like I need this counter for my life, one for at work and one for at home. 😆
It's like a competition to see who has the most (or least) side projects in life. Not sure who the winner would be though 😂 Thanks
Chamfered scallops with a diamond knurl on the protrusions? So good.
It's just amazing!
I can't wait to see how these get used!!
😎 Thanks!
I mean it's amazing and impressive how you've raised the bar in content, quality of filming and editing for machinist work on RUclips. Your channel and Cutting Edge Engineering are the two best machinists channels by far.
That is very kind! Thank you
CEE is a treat to watch, isn't it? Kurtis cracks me up.
Thank you for making these videos, they are so pleasant and calming to watch.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Geez you build beautiful things.
A true machine artist.
Thanks for showing.
A thumbnail the finished product along with the drawings would be the icing on the cake
Just love the brass and steel combo. Looks retro, and a little steampunk 👍😀
The combination of your narrating voice, the editing, and machining is cathartic
This channel is good for my soul on a level I don't fully comprehend. Stunning work as usual.
😊 Thanks!
Hands down the most satisfying, soothing thing to watch after a long day! Thank you for your content!
Simply beautiful. Thanks for adding a little more of the drafting. I really enjoy it.
My pleasure! Thanks
Those are some museum quality clamps! Absolutely gorgeous and worth the time they required!
Without equal! 🙂
Thanks!
I think that this is the 1st time that I have watched your video on the day that you posted it. Very good work.
Thank you Sir
Good timing I suppose haha thanks!
As always, beautifull!!! 👍, I really enjoy seeing you discovering, restoring an using all those marvelous tools you have from the 50s or so, I feel your grandfather was a very interesting person to know and I like to see those "world" of enjoyment (in form of "talking" tools) in good hands! TKS for the videos, regards from Bolivia.
Thank you very much!
Excellent your work should be in a museum beautiful
Honestly, these videos infuriate me! They make me want a machine shop of my own even though im only 15 and even a small shop would cost upwards of 20,000$ with old/used machines! I love your videos but i long to have my own shop one day too!
You can get there one day, man. Just start picking away at the things you need (but honestly just want) haha
Most beautiful hold downs ever made.
You are such a craftsman. These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Well done! I was just looking at an old picture of my grandfather, remembering our time together in his shop, and wondering what he would tell me about how I've been using his tools... and any advice about life in general. After a deep sigh, i come to RUclips and the algorithm knew I needed to see your video today. Thanks.
I know what you mean all too well. Thanks Isaac
The old school drafting was very satisfying! I remember those days. I have the same drafting equipment! Sharp looking clamps.
Very cool! Thanks
Those knobs are AMAZING! By far my favorite thing you've made so far. Absolutely incredible.
These clamps are artful pieces of holding kit. Perfect for my CNC t-slot bed. I’m inspired to make a set with brass t-nuts and brass hold down feet like yours.
Nice! These would be perfect for something like that. Thanks!
I have so.much respect for your hand drawn technical drawings ❤ absolutely gorgeous
Thank you 🙏
I dont know why, but the ASMR on the drafting table was rather soothing. Great work mate, keep it up!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
I studied mechanical engineering too and in drawing class we started by drawing with hands and could swap the digital drawing later if we wanted. I was a huge fan of hand drawings because you think the design more through because changing something is a lot harder on paper compared with the digital method and i really enjoyed it.
Accurate designs, accurate execution, accurate photography .. Thank you for these wonderful videos ❤❤
And thank you for the kind words!
You are now added to my list of machining heros on YT. Your Grand Dad has to be looking over your shoulder and whispering in your ear how incredibly proud he is of you and how happy he is to see his tools being used to make beautiful projects. I can't wait to see what you do next and what I can learn from from your great talent. Stay well and keep up the great work. Oh - and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us.
I really appreciate that, Joe! Thank you
I know next to nothing about machining yet I love the videos you make. There is something really nice about seeing someone create something that is functional, precise and beautiful. Seeing your work made me realize how much thought is put into designing objects whose fabrication process is well structured, efficient, and precise. Seeing these designs come to life is always satisfying and relaxing.
They look perfect! Nicest clamps I’ve ever seen. Amazing work again!
Thank you!!
Your workmanship is so satisfying to watch. I’ve got so much to learn and a short time to do it.
If you want some ideas on content, I’d love to see what you can teach us using a small rotary table or dividing head. I’ve got a couple of them now and I’m not sure how to make them do what I need yet. Machining is such a interesting and vast world.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Making a dividing head attachment is actually something I'm interested in making. So you might see something like that before too long! Thanks
