[@seamusbolton215]

Great to see you back posting video's
I don't know why, but that old clock ticking in the back round accompanied with your modest and no fuss commentary make me happy.
Thank you for all your efforts and I look forward to the rest of this series.

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, quite a few people mention the clock, it's a happy accident it is picked up by the mic, adds a bit of comfort to the workshop and videos. All the best for 2024.

[@mauserkk98]

Better than Christmas, I did need to re watch part one again . Great to see you back in the shop.

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, there's allot of water under the bridge since part 1 of this build, time goes so fast.

Steve.

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, I'm very focused now on getting this project completed.

[@Rustinox]

And so, you do some hand filing on a part of a die filer. What a paradox :)

[@Warped65er]

Good to see you post again. Thx for the vid.

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, it's nice to be back in the workshop.

[@irish-simon]

great to see someone use a steady ( making things the right way) not something you see much off on youtube

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, I really enjoy using the fixed steady, it add interest.

[@jeffanderson4979]

The stress relief, so simple.
I'm always learning by watching you!!

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, I'm glad you find my videos helpful.

[@Preso58]

That column sure looked crusty when it cooled down, but it cleaned up nicely.
Regards, Preso

[@GoCreatehms]

Hi Preso, all the best for 2024, looking forward to your Stuart 10H build. During this cold weather we are having the wood stove makes a good heat treatment oven LOL.

[@jonsworkshop]

Some interesting setups there Nigel, and I love the heat treatment, something I need to remember, should have put my toolmakers vice in the wood stove, never gave it a thought. Cheers, Jon

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks John. Free heat treatment comes with a wood stove, saves allot of propane LOL.

[@stevenaegele5228]

Welcome back!

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, I'm enjoying being back in the workshop.

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hi Nigel. As always, thank you for showing us your engineering prowess. Fabulous design and machining. 👏👏👍😀

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, I'm kind of making the design up as I go utilising what I already have. It's turning out to be rather robust, not a bad thing. All the best for 2024.

[@kisoia]

Looks good, this is a cool project, thanks for the video

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks, it's an interesting project for me, it's turning out to be very robust.

[@RalfyCustoms]

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks Ralfy, all the best for 2024.

[@alungiggs]

[@GoCreatehms]

I'm very well thanks, plenty videos in the pipeline.

[@tonyseccombe9407]

Thank you sir.

[@grahamsmith2390]

Happy New Year Nigel, Great use of the wood burning stove. Nice start to the day. Cheers😀

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks Graham, there's not many things better than a workshop warmed by a wood stove on a cold day.

[@sharkrivermachine]

Thanks for sharing

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks Steve, we are both getting back into our workshop at the same time, lets hope we're getting back to normality. All the best for 2024.

[@sharkrivermachine]

@@GoCreatehms That is for sure. Looking toward a healthy 2024.

[@jeffanderson4979]

We sure do appreciate you taking the time to film your progress.
I may have missed it. Are you going to offer plans?

[@GoCreatehms]

Thanks. I've not made any drawings as I'm pretty much making this up as I go. However, once finished I could put together some dimensional sketches of the main components should you wish to build one.

[@ralhmcc47]

Sir, I seen that you put, what I believe to be, soapstone on your file before filing.
Am I correct? What was the reason for this. cheers Ralph

[@GoCreatehms]

Hi, I'm using French Chalk though any chalk will do. I believe it's an old timer trick, it acts as a dry lubricant to help prevevnt the file clogging up.
I hope that helps, thanks for your interest.
