Quinn - that complicated device is almost starting to make sense. I wish you a speedy recovery from your injury, and I would certainly understand if the next few videos need to be shorter, or even if you need to skip a week or two. Looking at the big picture, you need to keep yourself in top shape so you can continue presenting this wonderful content!
Although tempted to look at a video’s seeing how it all works , I’m going to wait the test run to see it’s operation ! Wishing Spocket’s ‘human’ a very speedy recovery from the shoulder injury.
I assumed that you not knowing how the final product worked was a purely narrative device for engagement. :D Knowing that you were _actually_ "machining blind", as it were, is even better. I can see why that would be super fun, if inefficient. Hopefully your shoulder recovers quickly and fully. Don't worry one bit about the slightly shorter episode; none of us are going anywhere!
Not far now, Quinn! Looking forward to *_finally_* learning what the odd block is for, then I can *_finally_* be able to get some sleep at night again! Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Shoulder pain is something I wouldn’t wish on *anybody* ! Well, except for that one guy. He’s got it coming! Hope you feel better soon!
Can't wait to see how that weird cube is involved in the operation of this device!! Hope you heal quickly and don't have much pain. Your videos so are inspiring; I recently gained access to a machine shop for students as part of my phd program, and I'm so excited to see what kinds of things I can make! Thank You!!
That looked so satisfying drilling that one through hole through the center bore. I can't wait to get into machining at some point. Thanks again Quinn, hope you feel better soon!
Very interesting project. It's almost starting to make sense to me! About your shoulder, does it hurt when you do that? Well don't do that! You're welcome. Yes, yes. Shut up John. I know. Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
I love your videos and how you go into minuet details of how and why, and how to achieve high precision. I make high precision tools and fixture for an Aircraft Engine shop. I often work down to about .0002 or less because holding parts at one end and machining several inches away .00005 makes a huge difference.
Ah, moved a couple of years back and strained my shoulder starting a generator. Seven months of unpacking with a bad shoulder. But, I’m 70 so you should bounce much more quickly I hope. Nice video, working on a trailer to haul my little tractor this week. Machining and boring hinges and welding jacks and light brackets. Take care, get well soon. 😅
I feel your pain Quinn did my shoulder using a petrol post hole auger , hit a root and it threw me 3 meters tearing tendons, I shouldn't be doing these things at 76 y/o. Thanks for soldiering on, you are the highlight os my Sunday morning (Australia)
Sorry to hear about your injury. Precise tool grinding is something I look at then shrug: the cost of a new tool is usually low enough that I wouldn't pursue a precise grinding operation. If it's something I don't have and can't wait for a new tool, then I wing it by hand grinding. Not the best, but I don't think I'm ever quite working to the tolerances you are. Thanks for a wonderful channel!
When I was an apprentice, my Journeyman (electrician) told me that it helps to know what a machine is supposed to do and how it should operate before you can troubleshoot any control problems it has. Will we be seeing you demonstrate how this works when you are finished? Always enjoy watching your techniques and every time there is 'something to learn'.
Thanks so much for all of your hard work making these videos. Being new to lathe work I have learned a lot from you. Let Sprocket help you relax til your shoulder is purr-fect. Yatsee…
Get well soon, and the sooner the better, as I am really intrigued to see how this works. I've followed every step of the steam engine and switcher builds, and have understood everything you've done, but now I think you've begun to dabble in dark arts known only to machinists. Reveal your secrets!
When you reference the lathe 'traditions', I imagine a bunch of old, grizzled, and grumpy machinists from the past, standing around like Jedi ghosts looking on and nodding their heads in agreement despite their stoic gaze and firmly folded arms. 😁
My uneducated guess on the rounded corners of the stop block piece is to limit potential damage to your fingers when loosening a slightly overtightened little clamp handle thing. Bashing fingers against a nice rounded edge when the handle breaks loose is probably preferable to a corner. Either way, it does look nice!
I have the same set of metric tap and dies that you used in this video. I made an adaptor so that I could use them with my tailstock holder. If you are interested, I can send you the details. It was a very easy project that took me about 15 minutes to make.
8:29 - I know I'm late to this video (missed it somehow, glad I checked for that when the latest came out!), and I wonder if I also missed this being on screen earlier in the video (and/or in prior videos?), but I just noticed the background... Aaaand.... Yahtzee! Love it! :) (But wait, is it possible I'm the first to mention this?? I don't see other comments with Yahtzee in them! 🤯) Also, condolences on the shoulder injury! I hope you won the battle, and things are better by now!
Is it a square block with rounded corners or a round block with flats? I guess the piece was machined from 1" round bar stock. I have just started to test run my sharpener. One issue that needs to be addressed is the hex screw heads in the bottom of the "elbow". They have an annoying tendency to hook up on the edge of the table as I slide the tool block forward. Maybe an extra support shim under the arm will solve this. Delrin would be a suitable material for it.
Good at 100 yards or good enough for government work. We wondered our government doesn’t work for either side?❤❤❤❤ thanks for teaching those whom wish to learn. You are not beating a dead horse!
Hi Quinn! I watch a lot of machinst youtube (I imagine many people that follow you channel do) and I have to say that I believe your videography style is my favorite. I am currently about 80% of the way through commissioning a new building that will become my forever shop and I was considering trying to make some videos of getting the shop set up, but I have zero skill with a camera. Would you have any recommendations for a noob like me to learn how to make videos?
Chamfer looks good from a hundred yards? Must be very small yards that you have there in America, I thought everything was bigger there, but apparently yards are approximately .3 mm? Is that a front or a back yard?
I feel people who enjoy working with their hands should get special dispensation when it comes to aging. Like, I can take some aging model's unwanted wrinkles in exchange for a few extra years of regulation thickness cartilage.
Bleh. I messed up my elbow (ironically, I injured it trying to stay fit) so I feel how a little thing like this can upset one's situations. Kids, stay in school, and don't assume your ability to bounce back from injury will last. Or, enjoy that while you can.
Is there enough meat on thise not collets to make 3/4 inch shanks fit. Ive got a bunch of cuters wuth 3/4" shanks that Ive chipped the tips odd the flutes abd id love to be able to use them again.
Which University did you have to enroll in to learn how to use this ... thing? How many levels of demonstrable expertise are required for a degree? I'm thinking freehand is going to be more my style ....
Re: "getting up in years". I hope that sciatica never visits your castle; I've had a new milling machine sitting on a pallet for six weeks because of it.
I hope your shoulder is ok soon, I'd hate to think Sprocket was at risk of running low on pets. 😅

The best part of the weekend is when your video drops.
I assumed that you not knowing how the final product worked was a purely narrative device for engagement. :D
Knowing that you were _actually_ "machining blind", as it were, is even better. I can see why that would be super fun, if inefficient.
Hopefully your shoulder recovers quickly and fully. Don't worry one bit about the slightly shorter episode; none of us are going anywhere!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to go over to my own lathe and make something.
Same, and then I remember that I don’t have one… 😢
Ahh, the old shoulder injury issue: football? War wound? Repetitive cap petting? Good luck.
Not far now, Quinn! Looking forward to *_finally_* learning what the odd block is for, then I can *_finally_* be able to get some sleep at night again!
Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Shoulder pain is something I wouldn’t wish on *anybody* ! Well, except for that one guy. He’s got it coming! Hope you feel better soon!
Good luck with your shoulder recovery. My Achilles heel lately has been my knees. Could you do a series on machining new knees in the home shop?
Great video! Hoping for a speedy recovery of the shoulder.
Can't wait to see how that weird cube is involved in the operation of this device!! Hope you heal quickly and don't have much pain. Your videos so are inspiring; I recently gained access to a machine shop for students as part of my phd program, and I'm so excited to see what kinds of things I can make! Thank You!!
Take care of that shoulder. Can't wait for the sharpening demo.
That looked so satisfying drilling that one through hole through the center bore. I can't wait to get into machining at some point. Thanks again Quinn, hope you feel better soon!
Hope your shoulder can heal soon Quinn! Thanks for a great video, helps a lot!
Hope you’re better soon Quinn, thanks for the video.👍👍
Great video Quinn, looking forward to seeing what the cube thing does.
Take care of yourself . We need your valuable videos. Best wishes . 👍🧡
I wish you a speedy shoulder recovery!
As a person who has suffered through torn rotator cuffs and a broken collar bone I truly feel your pain. Hope for a speedy recovery.
Very interesting project.
It's almost starting to make sense to me!
About your shoulder, does it hurt when you do that? Well don't do that! You're welcome. Yes, yes. Shut up John. I know.
Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
Quin, Don't worry about the length of the video. Quality is better then Quantity, Hope you feel better.I enjoy your build"s.

I actually feel the same way about buying new endmills. I’ll be talking about that in the next video in this series
Here's to a speedy recovery!

Yay! It's Blondihacks time!!!

I can't wait to find out what that block does!
Great Job.
You stay safe and extremely healthy.
Quinn I know just how you feel I've torn my rotator cuff hurts like hell,hope you improve soonest X.
Such a cool fixture! Looking forward to seeing how it works.
Hope your shoulder gets better fast.

Love your channel and the content I hope your shoulder heals up fast
I’ve been reading about human evolution. I wonder when our ancestors began chamfering?😂
Probably when they started getting splinters and cuts from sharp edges on their spears and stuff.
Another nice video Quinn. Good luck with your shoulder
All the best with your shoulder Quinn.
Swift recovery! Take care.
As a (lapsed) mechanic I have that "cheapo" tap/die set, and it's a pretty nice bit of kit!
I hope the shoulder recovery goes well ☺
Get well soon

Also, condolences on the shoulder injury! I hope you won the battle, and things are better by now!
Hope you feel better soon. Interesting tool holder part.
This is turning out very nice. I'm looking forward to instructions on how it works. Looks to be a real feat of engineering and math.
Get Well soon Quinn
Hope the shoulder recovers swiftly!
Take you're time and let it heal properly, don't rush it. Start rushing things and it'll be years before you get full mobility.
Get well soon. Enjoy your videos
Growing old is a privilege!
Great work on the sharpener. Get well soon.
Get well soon!!
HI, good luck with your shoulder, I ripped my rotator cuff in the 70's I thought I knew what my "10" was in pain until I did that!!
Rich
oh! .. get well soon ..
Hope you get better soon!
sorry to hear you are injured. I had my shoulder repared 10 years ago. i hope you only need rehab...
Awesome work Quinn
Thankyou👍
It's always a good day when you upload 😊

Sweetheart , what going on with your shoulder? I hope you feel better soon. Take life easy for a while. Love you lots ❤❤❤❤.

Could you please make a video on how to service a metal lathe and lubricate a metal lathe.
Hopefully you have a letter/number punch set, and can stamp the size in the face of the pseudo collet. Save a stack of trouble later!
"A bit different to other kits" is very tactfully stated 😅
That's looking great mate, nicely done 🙌
Thanks Quinn
I really thought we were going to find out what the piece from for…. I reckon it’s supposed to go under the workbench leg to help level it.
This thing looks pretty cool. I think I want one now. 😂
Hoping you are feeling better. Health comes first. RUclips 2nd.
@Blondihacks
We have so many tools in common e.g. the "Super Rocket-air Blower" ok ok only this one we have in common -
now I'm jealous! 🤣🤣🤣
Get better soon.

They want you to finish your self it's a learning process😊😊

Getting older sucks. But it kinda beats the alternative into a cocked hat.
Despite intently watching all 7 parts of this so far I have no idea how this thing is supposed to work in the end lol
Tell me about the joys of growing older??
Bleh. I messed up my elbow (ironically, I injured it trying to stay fit) so I feel how a little thing like this can upset one's situations. Kids, stay in school, and don't assume your ability to bounce back from injury will last. Or, enjoy that while you can.
Is there enough meat on thise not collets to make 3/4 inch shanks fit. Ive got a bunch of cuters wuth 3/4" shanks that Ive chipped the tips odd the flutes abd id love to be able to use them again.

Adhesive Capsulitis?
Yep, exactly. 😕
"One day my scrap, you'll be a mandrel"
Is that not a countersink? Does a counterbore not have a flat bottom?
A+
Re: "getting up in years".
I hope that sciatica never visits your castle; I've had a new milling machine sitting on a pallet for six weeks because of it.
👍
Hahaha LOL!
congratulations it’s a thing!
Hi
They probably get Tech School kids to make the kits😂😮
Up in years? I didn't think you were a day over 30...
👍👍
