That would also work great using scotch-bright pads if you make the disks a bit bigger, nice work, hand made always works better than having to buy them. :)
That's a great idea. I've often been frustrated at the cost of buying replacements (for my Dremel) - the scotch-brite pads do a good job but don't last long.
While we are talking about make things, when you use the typical 2" angle grinder sanding disks of any grit, when the edges are worn and don't work anymore, cut them down to 1" disks and they will work like new again. Of course you will need a 1" disk holder, but it works. And I found that cutting them down is so easy on a bench grinder from the back side of them...
i can honestly say that he is one of the VERY FEW youtubers that has NEVER put out a bad or boring video !! This guy could most likely make a video of him sweeping up or cleaning his shop and make it look awesome ...
Peace be upon you Thank you and thank you very much, artist (mechanics in the true sense of the word). I follow all your work. And I'm very interested in your art. In my country (Iran), I have not seen a human being capable of you. You work so hard with love that you do whatever you want. You are a real artist
This is why I love RUclips so much, as it allows someone like myself, in Ohio, USA, to enjoy reading comments from someone afar that also enjoys the technical artistry of these videos. Peace and happiness to you, good sir from Iran.
Really slick , nice work on the arbor . You've got a lot of patience , but that's what you need to do the level of perfection that shows in your projects . Thanks for showing how its done .
Nothing like starting with a 13 mm rod and turning it into a 3 mm screw! I'm always amazed at the talent in these videos. Wish I had that array of machines.
Cannot get enough of these uploads ! Master craftsman !Due to the current unfortunate situation we should all be hoping to see more uploads to break our cabin fever and keep our sanity! Please dont stop ! 10/10 STAY SAFE AND SMART EVERYONE❤
Need these videos so much right now. Thank you for continuing to make them. The care and quality of the storytelling that you put into these projects is just remarkable.
It was so that he could use the side of the platter to chamfer the end instead of turning the compound rest at that angle and use the tip of the platter. Definitely faster than having to reallign the compound rest (wich can be quite a pain in the neck) afterwards. He's a clever one. :)
Making a new one is strong with this one. You must use the compound. May my mechanics be with you always. Use the sand blasting media my young machinist. :P
Here I thought last night after watching the lamp...I was done for a few weeks Tonight I check the app and you're here Short but sweet Thanks!! I hope you got the message that you were missing a part inside the lamp. Flame spreader :)
Admiro la gran paciencia, amor y dedicación que pones en cada pieza que restauras. Es un placer ver cada uno de tus videos! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina.
I would really love for you to give us a tour of your workshop in one of your next videos. I'd be interested in what tools you have and what you think are the essentials for getting started with machining and restoration.
I know it will never be the same, but it took me ten minutes to go to a supply store got a bag of small Dremel buffing wheels and I was on my way, Thank's for the video, I just don't have access to NASA'S machine shop!
I am really enjoying all of the videos. I would like to see how you measure diameters while you are turning metal stock. I would appreciate tips on using micrometers, calipers, and other measuring instruments. Thank you
I would have made a template from paper, measured and marked the centre for a small hole. Old habits from woodwork classes at school, a half-century ago... We don't see things being measured, it must be happening.
Do you use the punch tool over metal surface? I always use it over wood/cardboard because i'm afraid of damaging/unsharp it It is safe for the tool to do so?
@@mymechanicsinsights Thanks!! That's a really big chunk of plastic!! The problem with cardboard or wood is that you loose a lot of "cutting force" when the surface gets "marked" by the tool. I guess it make sense to use hard plastic that don't mark as much and don't hurt the tool also
That black plastic block u mentioned did its job very well. Very interesting tool attachment created in the video👌. I wanted to know details of the punch tool, the make and the link from I can buy. THANKS.
Just came across this, nice video. For those of us without a metal lathe, I would think we could do something similar with a hex or lag bolt, as long as it is balanced.
my mechanics insights I love restoring my metal detecting finds and I've always found myself in need of something that wasn't as harsh as a stone, but smaller than a flap disc, for use in small spaces. Not extremely small spaces, but I think you get the picture.
You are my technical icon. I wish you to take up bike engines and restore. Since engines are having much more mechanism including paint removing process and final paint finishing process.
Hello my good boy! What brand "polishing/drilling/hobby tool" is the one shown in the video? I use a Dremel brand hobby tool, but you need to use a wrench to secure the collet. Yours looks more convenient. Cheers!
That would also work great using scotch-bright pads if you make the disks a bit bigger, nice work, hand made always works better than having to buy them. :)
That's a very good idea. Haven't thought about this. Thank you
That's a great idea. I've often been frustrated at the cost of buying replacements (for my Dremel) - the scotch-brite pads do a good job but don't last long.

Hand made definitely isn't always better.
Honey,where’s that lovely 100% cotton bedsheet!
...why does it smell greasy and why does it has holes in it? 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha 😂
my mechanics insights Haha
I bet she's been looking for her salt, vinegar, flour & Scotchbrite pads, too?
@@mymechanicsinsights Since it has holes I can use in my shop! No waste.
my mechanics once again making my quarentine time a little bit better ❤️
Glad I could help ;-)
Liked the video before i watch cos he doesn't disappoint 👍👌
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)

You make us a lot of videos lately and we feel privileged and thankful.
Love the chuck set-up on that rotary tool.
Yeah, me too :-)
Kal Random agreed, better than my poor old Dremel. Les in UK. Have a safe week-end everyone!
does anyone know, which rotary tool it is? i need a new one :(
@@mymechanicsinsights can you tell us which rotary tool it is? I would like one too. Maybe I make a new one
@@Quwoll Indeed. I use a Dremel a lot for armory in the sport of fencing, and changing the wheels out is a pain sometimes.
Really slick , nice work on the arbor . You've got a lot of patience , but that's what you need to do the level of perfection that shows in your projects . Thanks for showing how its done .

I looked, but I'd love to see a list of the tools you are using in the shop. Your die grinder, micro media blaster are first on my list. GREAT WORK!

I'll do the same tomorrow for my dremel! Good and simple idea! Why it was not born in my head?))) Thanks!

Yes, I hope so :-)
very impressive and amazing how you got each hole in the cotton disks to line up so well
Need these videos so much right now. Thank you for continuing to make them. The care and quality of the storytelling that you put into these projects is just remarkable.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
Brilliant. Nothing is more fun for me than to make a tool.
To actually use it and see it working is more fun for me ;-)
A bunos video from the last one. Owesome👍👍👍
Thanks :-)
You Creativity is limitless!!!
Thank you
Dude I could only dream about making things like you do, but thanks so much for sharing this idea!
We all love you. 😘 😘
Thank you :-)
You need to start somewhere, your skills will improve with time. Try and make something small, you'll be proud even if it's not as good as you'd like.
Excellent.
Many thanks!
Probably it's has been already asked, but could you please let me know what brand/model is that "Dremel" like hand tool?
Minimo is the name of the manufacturer... He replied in one of the earlier comments.
Very good, man !!! 👍👍👍
One quick question: what was the purpose of changing rotation direction at 1:28?
Frederico Chaves i guess to achieve a smoother surface!
The tool usually is cutting before the center of the part, there i cut it behind the center
It was so that he could use the side of the platter to chamfer the end instead of turning the compound rest at that angle and use the tip of the platter. Definitely faster than having to reallign the compound rest (wich can be quite a pain in the neck) afterwards. He's a clever one. :)
I still don't understand. Plain English please???
@@Farooq_Bhai_
Plain English: For convenience.
Yeps, practical and effective as usual. Top notch.
such a patient man, enjoy your videos, although I don't have your skills and tools really enjoy your videos
Making a new one is strong with this one. You must use the compound. May my mechanics be with you always. Use the sand blasting media my young machinist. :P
Haha, thanks for the comment Master Venger
@@mymechanicsinsights Anytime thank you for the amazing content. Master Mechanic :D

Short but sweet
Thanks!!
I hope you got the message that you were missing a part inside the lamp. Flame spreader :)
Hab die dinger immer gekauft, weiß gar nicht warum 😀 funktioniert super, hab gleich mehrere größen selbst gebaut 👍. Danke top video
You make me want a lathe and to learn machining so badly! It makes the threading tool look so easy to use with precision!
such a small thing, and quite ingenious ^^ I hope you get plenty of uses out of it!
I think so :-)
Nice work dude
Nice work as always, looking forward to your next restoration
Admiro la gran paciencia, amor y dedicación que pones en cada pieza que restauras. Es un placer ver cada uno de tus videos! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina.
Good idea 👍good job 👍👍👍💣👌🏽✌🏻
Brilliant! You are very clever. I'm always impressed with your work.
Nice job.
I'll turn down a bolt save on threading it. 😁👍
What rotary tool is that? My Dremel doesn't release bits that quickly.
I was wondering too! He prolly made it, judging by some of the videos!
I was wondering the same thing too. Hopefully he will answer.
Someone said brand called minimo
! ! ! Sencillamente estupendo, . . . . hasta pronto ¨Manos Mágicas¨ , . . . saludos desde México.
God I love your videos. Excellence personified. Extraordinary.
Brilliant. As always.
hey ich luege dini videos mega oft jetzt scho und die sind mega unterhaltend!!
wiiter so💪💪🔥

Great video I believe you can make just about anything thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
You sir, are a genius!
I know it will never be the same, but it took me ten minutes to go to a supply store got a bag of small Dremel buffing wheels and I was on my way, Thank's for the video, I just don't have access to NASA'S machine shop!
That minimo tool is really neat. makes me tightening the collet on my rotary tool with a spanner look a bit silly
You forgot to say "et Voila"
Check the endscreen again ;-)
@@mymechanicsinsights Good one lol :)
I cannot produce the exact same thing, but it still gives me ideas. Thank you.
The idea is great.... wondering on why so many effort by using sophisticated machine...to create just the rod.
That's so nice!
Do you think at some point you will make a workshop tour, where you go over all of the tools and machines you use?
I am really enjoying all of the videos. I would like to see how you measure diameters while you are turning metal stock. I would appreciate tips on using micrometers, calipers, and other measuring instruments. Thank you
Great idea!!
Fantastic 👍
which brand of "dremel tool" do u use? i like the locking mechanism
A brand called Minimo someone said
@@FranklinVardetta oh też its, minimo Japan brand, thank you do much
Keşke senin gibi bir ustam olsa 🥰
another amazing videoo :D thank you :D
Thanks for watching
Great concept.
why did you put it in the tool 1:50 ? is it necessary?
And here I was thinkin you just slapped some polishing wheels on a pre existing bit... I shoulda known better! Nicely done bro! And GG as always!
Lovely diy project....
Awesome vid. I need more to survive in 2020 plz!!!
Very nice. I assume you could use a nut if you don't have a lathe. Less clamping area in the Dremel Chuck but there is no torque on it so...?
Insight is a man best friend. Thanks very much for sharing your insights.!.!.!.
Thanks for video! Tell me please what kind of grinder is it? what the brand? thanks for your time!))
The bufing fabric is special fabric or simple cotton fabric????
Please tell...... thanks
Amazing 👌
What is the model of that pen polish machine or tool in your hand ?
hey there! I just keep watching your videos. Can you make a video about sandblasting? is removing rust before sandblasting gets better results?
No, not at all. Just a waste of time and unnecessary, it's like shaving your beard before going to the barber shop.
@@mymechanicsinsights And still you usually remove rust from everything before sandblasting it?
@@ArniVidar only paint and dirt. That would make the sand unneccessary dirty, which is very expensive.
@@mymechanicsinsights Ah, I understand.
Hello, what's the name/brand of your black tool ? it looks like a dremel ...
Got it. I just need a Lathe to make one of those.
What's your background? How did you learn all these skills?
I'm a professional CNC-machinist
2:12 Old bedsheet? Looks newer than a new 😂
I watched the lamp restoration video before this one and was wondering where you got that wheel.
Of course, you make new one.
How did you get all the center holes to line up?
Just by eye, I was surprised myself how well I managed to make these holes.
@@mymechanicsinsights Yeah I was gonna say "I can't believe he didn't measure the holes before punching them!"
I would have made a template from paper, measured and marked the centre for a small hole. Old habits from woodwork classes at school, a half-century ago...
We don't see things being measured, it must be happening.
what is the name of the cutting tool using the hammer, and where can I find it. Thank you for the super videos you make.
What is your rotary tool? It looks very cool!
the tool, that would never untighten. Great!
you got every thing to make.
Me: wants to relax on my bed
My Mom: Calls me
Me: 3:36
could you do a video about polishing metal, what method, what coumpound first and final, how to protect the metal from oxidation etc...
Auf jeden Fall besser als der Mist vom Baumarkt...
Tatsache ;-)
Do you use the punch tool over metal surface? I always use it over wood/cardboard because i'm afraid of damaging/unsharp it
It is safe for the tool to do so?
It's actually black plastic, never use it on metal as it will get dull just by one hit.
@@mymechanicsinsights Thanks!! That's a really big chunk of plastic!! The problem with cardboard or wood is that you loose a lot of "cutting force" when the surface gets "marked" by the tool. I guess it make sense to use hard plastic that don't mark as much and don't hurt the tool also
@@zobook i tried on wood first, but I wasn't able to get a clean cut.
That black plastic block u mentioned did its job very well. Very interesting tool attachment created in the video👌.
I wanted to know details of the punch tool, the make and the link from I can buy. THANKS.
Boom! That EZ. Thanks
I would love to try something like this but what is the fabric used for the for buffet pads
Good work
Thanks
I will make this one. Thanks
Hey man what is that black stuff you apply for polishing?? I want to make a similar one...
Just came across this, nice video. For those of us without a metal lathe, I would think we could do something similar with a hex or lag bolt, as long as it is balanced.
My cheapo rotary tool came with one and the little pads. This is like planting wheat to make croutons for your salad.
What grinder tool is that? Nevermind found it... over 500€ wtf?
Can you share a link please? Many people are asking about it...
Do they make (or can you make) a similar tool except it would load with sandpaper? Not a stone. But like a small version of a flap disc sander?
Would be difficult, but sure doable
my mechanics insights I love restoring my metal detecting finds and I've always found myself in need of something that wasn't as harsh as a stone, but smaller than a flap disc, for use in small spaces. Not extremely small spaces, but I think you get the picture.
Hi! May I ask what size your lathr is? I am planning on buying one in the near future and I am deciding on what size to buy...thanks.
Why did you change rotation direction at some point?
You are my technical icon. I wish you to take up bike engines and restore. Since engines are having much more mechanism including paint removing process and final paint finishing process.
That would be a 2h video haha
@@mymechanicsinsights We (now) have time! Haha
@@Oo-IIII-oO but it would take me 2 years to make the video 🤣
@@mymechanicsinsights I am ready to watch your video even if it is 4 hrs.
I have a question, what's the name of that tool(brand, model)? I have an old bulky one and I'm looking to buy one that's smaller and newer
same here! wanna know what rotary tool is that too. hope he answers
I really like your work, what is the brand of your multi tool hand machine??
hey sir what is the name of your mini grinder and your buffing clothes right?
Hello my good boy! What brand "polishing/drilling/hobby tool" is the one shown in the video? I use a Dremel brand hobby tool, but you need to use a wrench to secure the collet. Yours looks more convenient. Cheers!
Based on what I could find on Google, it appears to be a Minimo V112H
Nice 👍👍
