Fantastic - I’ve binge watched the whole series. Takes me back to the EITB course and my apprenticeship in the machine tool industry (Watford college and Lapointe Broach also in Watford) in the mid 1970s. These videos convey their subject matter beautifully, with a great balance of practical demonstrations, simple theory which is nicely developed, with no prior knowledge assumed, efficiently explained with good diction, effective diagrams and visual aids. Excellent, no nonsense, fit for purpose, technical education. I’m so happy you have managed to obtain and curate these short films here on RUclips. My heartfelt thanks.
The final "Can you work out how you'd restrain..." actually left me wanting to see the fixture. I have some ideas, but old-school experienced machinists are smart. When something looks strange I look again, because there's often hard-won wisdom hiding there. But it's not shown.

It takes me lot of years exploring RUclips to find this impressive series
Another interesting and informative video, thank you for posting.
Great stuff

@18:22 turn the part 90 degrees and also put it lower down in the vise.
Very helpful, even when working on wood - needs to be physically restrained to get the best, safest cut.
@2:40 so fart is the father of sound fx
What’s aluminium? And why in the heck would I use a face plate on a lathe to drill a hole on a square plate
