The "art deco" feature is just an engineered failure point to prevent damage from over-tightening the crank handle. It will break off if too much torque is applied!
So it's a torque limited float lock vice (tm) ?
Right, in German we call that "Sollbruchstelle". Perfectly legit!
I love when people exchange the protective plastic transmission gears in model cars and then destroy both their transmission and engine only to whine at me that my stupid machine broke...
I think adding a couple of more "art deco" features would be very stylish! Give it a racing stripe look. BTW, the overall speed handle is very nice. Well done!
ಠಿ, I'm 7 mm. B BB b. ;.
B BB m m mm m. mm m.... My moತ_ತಠಿヮಠಠಿ_ಠ
Nice job, Quinn! I actually like that art deco feature!
Now that's a pin-worthy comment 😁... Beautiful job on the crank handle Quinn!
As soon as you started describing your little trick for making a nice bend, I remembered the teaser and said "oh no."
This is the machinist's equivalent of building a boat in your basement that's bigger than the door, or doing your soldering without running the wires through the holes in your case first.
Or wiring an electrical plug and forgetting to slide the body on the wire first, something I’ve never done 😏
@@robertpearson8798 Or my most common variation: forgetting to slide the heatshrink over the wire (and sliding up out of the way) before soldering.
16:30 Only a true king can free the sword from the stone
The bending block "issue" reminded me of all the times that I've carefully connected wiring harnesses, checked that everything is working as expected, and then realized that I was supposed to run the wires *through* a hole or duct before making the connexion. I think we've all been there. At least your block was aluminium and not too difficult to destroy: the end result looks really good.
We all did a variation of that. ESPECIALLY when soldering connectors.. like XLR.. forget the connector housing and you win a redo. same with the shrinktube to hold the labels on.. etc
Having worked in control systems and automation for 30+ years I have seen that done many times.
The best of all time however was the maintenance guy who decided to gas axe part of a RHS frame that was also used as a wiring duct. And yeah it took a bit to fix.
@@tonywilson4713 Land Rover run (or used to run) the wires to the rear lights inside the chassis, presumably to offer the electrics a degree of protection. I'm not the only one who has melted them when welding in a repair section.... we live and learn.
@@nicholashacking381 After being involved in control systems and automation for 30+ years there's not much that's genuinely new these days. For sure there's improvements that have come from development of existing technologies but that's development NOT innovation. We have basically become lazy with things like programmers having CPUs and memory that made yesterdays supercomputers seem pathetic.
The last truly major engineering project that was genuinely innovative was Apollo. That called not just for innovation but invention of new materials and new processes. Think about all the different aluminium alloys and that we now have.
Before Apollo computers were the size of houses but Apollo needed them to be the size of shoe boxes. Part of the 50th anniversary projects was rebooting an AGS computer (Apollo Guidance System). To make it work they had to go find a copy of the original manuals and computer code. Luckily both still existed as well as the guy who wrote the operating system.
What they found was that it was not only a genuine multitasking system but also way more efficient than any of todays systems. programmers have become very lazy with more powerful processors and heaps of memory.
THAT'S INNOVATION.
@@PhilG999 I've not worked with steam much at all but am quite familiar with flow control valves for air (& gases) as well as water (& other fluids). I haven't used the type of thermo transmitter you describe, but know of the type. I've mostly used thermocouples.
I have literally dozens of stories on stupid things done to control system hardware. One of my favourites was the race car (my bosses) mechanic who found a crushed and half severed sensor lead and just wrapped it in duct tape because duct tape can fix anything.
The best however goes to an electrician. We were installing a robot and it had a European power lead (brown-L1, blue-N, black-L2, black-L3). Australia's common 3 phase is red-L1, blue L2, white-L3 & black-N.
So I stood right next to his boss with the manual in hand, OPEN at the right page and told his boss we needed to get this right. He agreed and asked his sparkie if he had that lead right? YES was the answer. Do you need to check the manual? NO.
We turned it on and BANG with smoke. He had decided to ignore me, ignore his boss, ignore the manual and wire it how he thought it should go, which was as if it had 2 phases (brown and blue) and 2 neutrals (black & black). It blew the main power supply to the robot's motor amplifiers.
When I was doing my course for Hazardous Area (explosive gas & dust mixes) the instructor showed us a bunch of photos on dumb stuff and I really do mean dumb ignorant stuff.
So yeah I have seen some really dumb sh*t in my time.
Now you can get cranky even faster!
10/10 would definitely have done the block trick exactly as you did...with the same results LOL
that Yahtzee at 5:00. I love how you have embraced yahtzee as one of your specific running gags.
Aluminium bondage, just the thing for a handle that needs a kink?
And the relationship between machinist and designers thickens. Great to point to not reference from an angled, non flat surface.
Ohhh Quinn ...the aluminium prison moment was brilliant ...thanks for all your videos
16:35 kudos for showing a lesson, Quinn ! The only people that don’t make mistakes are the people that do NOTHING !
19:40 Spiffy handle .
Ah, the joy of decrypting the engineering drawing into a useful shop drawing, with the dimensions you *actually need* to/from places that actually exist on the work! (or possibly not, or just until the next operation wipes it out)
Very nice !! It's been a pleasure. Thank you !
Life is an adventure. A beautiful piece came out.
I once was fabricating something that had awkward bits sticking out so I used a shop chair to hold them up. After lots of welding, I realized my fabricated thing was interlocked with the shop chair.
So I took a break to calm down and my wife - who noticed the little storm cloud over my head - asked what was wrong. I said, “Do you want see something really stupid that I did.” And her instant answer was, “Always.”
Sharing my mistake did help calm me down.
Sometimes mistakes are so stupid that you can't not share them, lol
I've got to know, did you cut the chair and weld it back together?
@@impetus444 My first instinct was to burn the shop down but eventually I settled on strategically cutting the piece apart and rewelding.
@@samdirichlet7500 hot reconstruction is always an option but it does come with a few drawbacks.
Professor Quinn. Turns out a work of art. Errr.. I mean a spinning handle.
It's different in your world when you wake up cranky.... nice video !!!
I throughly enjoyed this latest adventure. Super tight episode with all the juicy parts included. 👍👍😎👍👍
Maybe that's why I like watching Machining so much. My little art deco soul finds joy in the forms.
I don't think I've heard "speed" and "crank" mentioned so frequently in one conversation outside of reports on what the local LEOs got caught taking from the evidence room.
lol "Who Didn't See That Coming" Good Job. Keep up the good work
Beautiful!
A splendidly lucid explanation and demonstration, as per usual.
Thanks for putting in your mistakes, very helpful to the rest of us.
That intro!!! That's what I want to see every time. Great!
i hope you appreciate the extra views, ive been wathing this build series to get to sleep and im on about my fifth watch because i fall asleep halfway through! love the content, I hope you and sprocket are having a good day.
I love the Unscheduled Art Deco details comment xD.
Nice work Quinn!
Very nice feature. Wish I would have thought of that before I made 4 float locks as gifts. Thanks for sharing.
1:33 Lookit Quinn, showin' off with her ability to both push and pull the handle of a vise with just her finger. :D
After making a couple of mistakes I'm glad you didn't get too cranky making your crank. Nice work.
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one whose projects feature “unscheduled Art Deco details.” I choose to like them.
Great handleQuinn. Thanks for the video 👍🇦🇺
Very nice handle Quinn! Finally jumped the ditch and moved to NZ from Aus to be with my partner and she watched this one with me. She loves the facing cuts ;) and said you make machining very easy to understand :) so nice to know its not just us hobby machinists who find your videos easy to interpret. Hope youre well! Great work!
Good choice, mate. Haere mai
@@sciangear4782Cheers mate! kia ora e hoa!
Great job as usual. Funny with the captured bend lol 😂 when u set it up I was like something doesn’t look ohh no lol
I call that "Adam Savage Vibes", lol
That is a good looking, and nicely functional speed handle.
Or, in my native West Virginian, "That's purdy and it works good too."
Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
Love the work quin especially the mistakes because we are all human ❤
Great video , thanks Quinn
Deduct 20 points.... For using a CLAW HAMMER in the machine shop.... LoL....! Enjoyed the part about the "non- removable" bending fixture. Thanks for sharing that part....! We all do it! Nice looking handle, I like the deviation from the plan.... I built this type of Drill Press Vices, with no plans, just saw it on OX-Tools and built it.... Good project.... Keep up the good work!!!
Kudos for showing the "human" moment with the bending block!
I'd have been tempted to try something to limit axial movement like an "e"-clip below the brass rotating handle handle, but it's in my nature to over-complicate everything 😉. It's your project and it's looking fine.
I was watching that "human" moment coming and wanted to shout at the screen "No! Don't do it!" But then I got to think of all the times I've done similar things. Yep, we all do these kinds of mistakes, but it still hurts to see someone else do it. And if you are certain you've never done something like this then I fear for your memory...
+1 on an axial movement limit. I think it's fine the way it is, but I definitely would have thought about it for way too long, set the project aside for a few weeks because I wasn't happy with it and didn't have any good ideas, and then made is way harder to machine with something crazy like captured split rings.
I probably would have machine in a shoulder to Stop Linear movement on the The handle And over complicated things, Love the approach
Love how you make mistakes on purposes so the rest of us don't feel so bad when we make real mistakes ;-)
Who doesn't love Art Deco? I heard he was a cool guy.
You make my weekend Quinn!
I played bass for Aluminum Bondage back in the 80’s.
gotta love aluminum part holders 😁👍 easy to get your stuck part out of 😁👍😆
Aluminium bondage, the new phrase of the week
The Bob Ross of machining
Wtf since year's I have this on my list but I need blondi to start the project because watching her made me really wanna do it now 😂
She even showed me how to improve it ... I'm feeling that I'm getting old right now 😂...✌️👍
Thanx blondi love your vids 😇
Bob Ross would call it a "happy little accident". Machining is just like painting!
The number of jigs, guides, and hold down tools you have is incredible. My guess is that you are also highly organized. Love the vids!
One day I will have a lathe, and another day I will also have a mill, and at that time watching all this will be more than just incredibly enjoyable. My excuse for not having the tools yet…. I’m waiting for the video where Quinn show the dating method for scribed lines on drill bit. It was so obvious when she said it was “the newest” one, but we didn’t get to see the dating mark - guess there are some secrets being kept
Quinn , I like the idea of the aluminum block (two piece next time ) it gave you a nice smooth bend . your method gives far better detail then just heating it up in the jaws of the vise and bending it over. you always do nice work ...
"Unscheduled art deco detail" is a sophisticated update to Bob Ross's "happy little accidents"!🙂
Enjoyed….super video production/discussion/build
That sure is one groovy handle you made there!
I see what you did there. 😏
Coming along nicely!
I always learn new techniques from your videos and this was no exception. This was great! Thanks Quinn.
Simply beautiful!
Nicely done. And the brass will develop a nice patina with time and use.
Watching you shotgun all those measurements like that gave me a smile.
Once again, I wasn't disappointed, as is tradition. 😎
For the first time ever (and only time?) I was ahead of you on the 5 degree, 10deg, 20deg thing. Smug feeling... but for sure spinning finger-grips are the way to go. Just done it for my Taig lathe on carriage and cross-slide, and they feel like Rolls Royce cranks now (but how would I know??). Thanks Quinn. Les in UK
Does Rolls Royce actually manufacture the special tooling for working on their engines or do they contract it out to other companies? (I can't think of any reason why a modern aircraft engine would have a manual crank, so I'm assuming you're referring to the cranks on the tooling.)
@@NiHaoMike64 Well, like I said, “How would I know?” I had a friend who worked with RR (cars), and I learned Morse Code at RR Barnoldwick Radio Club (aero engines) but I never got to work on RR machinery myself. I do have a great and functional knob on my Morse key made in the Barnoldswick tool-room though👍😁 Les
I was getting Adam Savage vibes as she did it, lol.
Defined as noticing immediately that something is wrong but taking a while to pin it down.
@@blackoak4978 yup, exactly that! Les
Great result looking really good. I will be back for the final of course. Thanks for the video.
Just WOOW... and that "art deco womans touch"... Quinn You are amazing...
Your videos are relaxing and while I don't machine metal, there's a definite satisfaction in seeing parts come together. I'm glad you leave the "oopsies" in as well. I always add extra decorative features when I'm doing any kind of illustration. Yep. Meant to do that. 😳
I like your videos always, this one is a kind of art. Beautiful made 👍🏻
Hm, you could have asked This Old Tony, he must have a setting on his lathe that allows him to teleport away the aluminum part.😁😁
I’m a big fan of unscheduled Art Deco details. I try to include a few in all my work. Lol
Nicely done Quinn! Thanks for sharing all the little bobbles. :)
Yay! It's Blondihacks time!
(I would say something different, but I think at this point it's expected...)
It is! 😁 Much like I’m stuck saying “as is tradition” or “tappy tap tap” forever, you are required to say this.
yatseee...
Mr. Pete will be proud.
Now THIS gives me an idea for a new handle for something in my shop that's irritated me for a long time. I think I'll make a two-part bending block though! Of course, I could just melt the aluminium away once the bend is done....
Great video, always entertaining. Gorgeous handle. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🐒
I would have been tempted to melt the block off the handle. But then I'd probably calm down and hack it off like you did. Nice modification to the plans.
"Model of a traffic cone." ... This is why we love you. ;)
That bending jig moment had the same energy as “ifconfig eth0 down” but, like, the opposite structure to the mistake.
Art Deco works every time! File it under creative discretion! Good work Quinn! Nobody was looking at the aluminum block, nope, nobody!
For the bend, a bar/tube with a bell-mouthed hole in the end would give the leverage and radius for the bend, and slip off the part when done. Heat like you did would keep the bend localized.
A most excellent mistake. That small detail draws the eye to the finely formed curve.
That bloop had me laughing merrily since we all make mistakes one time or another.
I've made my fair share of mistakes and seeing that, I've made a mental note to make any such blocks a two piece number and bolt it together...
There is only ONE thing I would have done differently which is a matter of personal taste, and that is cut a shoulder in the crank arm, or IN the brass handle to limit the lateral travel of the brass handle since it looks like it could scrub against the bend which could lead to its either seizing, or causing it to flare out and make a nasty sharp edge that could catch your fingers
I was thinking the exact same thing, lol
Always enjoy your work, thanks for the content
Concentricity = Constant Christmas Trees - I use that in important meetings with professional engineers and they just accept it!
The handel is a work of art. Beautiful. Thanks for posting this.
14:55 I was like "No, she won't.....NO, SHE CAN'T...." :-) epic!
Reminds me of a construction drawing I did once back at tech school of a part of a large steel bridge, featuring a "lost welder" inside that part.... just like a lost pattern in a casting.
You've said that you're a programmer (or at least I.T.) in other videos, and after bending the handle, maybe you should have a shop debugging duck. Is that in Swarfy (Swarfie? Swarfey?) the Duck's contract? ;)
Thanks Quinn
Fantastic job Qiunn! Your videos are clear concise examples of how to machine details into component assemblies.
I was screaming at my phone when you bent it😆😆😆
Too bad I had my earplugs in while doing it. You might have saved me.
Haha im a loud mouth but I doubt even im that loud, im in south carolina
THAT WAS AMAZING,, NO WONDER WHY YOU HAVE MANY GREAT PATREONS !!!
Very nice !
Great job the upgrade to swivel handle is awesome.
13:40 I would have seen this as you correctly did. The .610 dimension in the drawing is clearly pointing and referenced on the spherical curve. Not on the later existing geometry of your cut. The drawing or the dimensioning should be corrected. Well spotted, Quinn. 👍
I made one of these back when Mr Pete did his video. The first one I put a 90 degree bend in the crank handle just as he did. The only problem with that is If the vice is laying on the drill press table and the handle is not hanging off the side of the table and you need to tighten or loosen the vice when you flip the handle the bent end is facing the vice and very difficult to maneuver. I rebuilt the handle and took the 90 degree bend out and it worked much better for me. But that is very nice touch you added to your handle.
I died laughing as soon as you starting talking about a bending form. Noooooo I have no idea why I recognized the issue before you said there would be issues. I've never done that how dare you insinuate I have!
Very nice. I finished putting all the bolts back in my door panel Saturday just to have to pull it off again because I forgot to plug my wire harness in through a hole in the side you could only get to with it off we all overlook things from time to time.
rawl plugs, spring dowels, love the tip for a friction fit. great work, always well planned. . Brass handles, naturaly atticeptic . Inspired by BH to cut perfect ball endsI;m making a ball turning attachment . Cut a lovely slot recess into the toolpost mounting plate , wrong axis, so now it works both ways., custom bolt just like the one here, took the tip of a screwcutting insert hitting reverse before retracting the tool. doh. nice work.
Excellent!
9:21 you can use a normal right-handed boring bar and cut behind center with the machine running in reverse
Oh, man! (woman!?) I feel your pain. My brain often shuts off when the cameras switch on. So many things to think about. So many obvious things to forget. One difference between you and me is that you thought carefully about how to fix it before proceeding. I would have turned the offending aluminum block into a puddle. And probably a burned spot on my bench. And possibly an injury of some kind.
As always, your machining is a pure joy to watch, dear!
