I’d like to see a collaboration between Chris and Curtis at Cutting Edge since he is nowhere near as far away as Joe is. “G’day, Chris here. Today we will work on something enormous” lol
Beautiful! And, as a Scotsman might say, "An' that pinion's awfy wee..." [Very small.] When I was awfy wee I was a woodworker (of sorts) and sometimes used similar techniques for turning draughts, chessmen, and awkwardly-shaped parts for musical instruments. My efforts were clumsy compared to this, though. Thank goodness nobody owned a video camera back then.🙂
I give you full credit for trying out various techniques to get a project completed. To be honest, woodworking tools tend to be more primitive than metal working tools, so thinking your work was clumsy may be doing your skills a disservice.
A short note to say I'm on vacation near Carlsbad, CA where the Sherline lathe is made. I just visited the Craftsmanship Museum and will visit the factory Thursday. I would have never known about Sherline but for your videos years ago! Turns out my son, who I am visiting, only lives 1.5 miles from the museum and the factory! Thank you for all your hard work and effort in producing the videos and the projects you showcase!
I am sure these videos are meant to be enjoyed at normal speed (they are indeed things of beauty). But I like watching at the slowest speed to observe the details of the tooling and technique to improve my own modest efforts.
I don't understand why you cut the face of the brass rod with the side of the cutter, but cut the steel with the point of the cutter? I have seen people use the side of the cutter on both materials, is there a special reason?
More fan service for the world's cutest boring bar! Seriously, this is great exploration of work holding techniques for small items.
Great video. I still miss the narration. I enjoy the explanation of what your doing, why, and how.
It is sometimes easy to forget, due tot the excellent quality of the cinematography, just how miniscule your work is
Anyone else think Joe Pie should let Chris use his model machines to make something?
now that is a fun idea!
100 percent agree.
Since TOT has slown down his postings (and cut back on his time traveling), this would be a great collaboration.
That is an absolutely genius idea!! Lol

Chris, your camera work is as superlative as your machining. Absolutely outstanding!
Love seeing sherlines being used!
Thank you my friend. I absolutely love the fine quality work you produce. 👍👍
How I do love these small animations instead of timelapses!!!! Wonderful!
I'm so glad that I've started getting notifications for this channel
Nice video Chris.
This is the first time that I have seen these techniques. Thanks for the machining lesson.
How does he chamfer the burr on those tiny parts? I'm amazed again!
When it comes to precision machining, nobody holds a candle to what this guy can do!
Wow the tolerance for this kind of fit must be super tight.
When you see how those tiny boring bars are ground from a HSS square bar you realize Chris has serious patience.
Chris is so smooth doing this work. Whoa!
It would be neat to see a team up episode between Clickspring and Wristwatch Revival.
This dudes chip-tray is cleaner than any part of my lathe 😂
Wonder if Machinists re-forge their softer metals in house? I imagine all those brass shavings get recycled to help cut costs.
Short answer - most don't but Chris does.
Well, I do………but cannons produce a lot more chips than the work that Chris does!
As much as I love these clips, I miss the "G'day, Chris here..."
Remember you can always view the long version with Chris's narration by clicking the link in the description
Its always staggering to me the scale you can work at.
Remarkable job, splendid edit.
What do you do with all the brass shavings? Do they get tossed? Recycled? Melted in to an [tiny] ingot when you have enough to make it worth while?
He recycles/reuses them.
Reused as the bed for his bluing trays. Look for the clips on bluing steel parts.
The rest is melted out and reused.
@@jeffarmstrong1308 not true !
he mixes them with his cereals
👍👌👏 again and as always!
Excellent, as usual :-)
Awww it's soo cute!!
it's been a long time since i saw you.
👍👍
Holy moly, that thing is the size of a sesame seed.
