Sorry,but what is the purpose of drilling all the holes in the Axe’s handle? I don’t see any reason why you would do what you did to the Axe Handle. Other than it being a joke on your friend? I’m not being sarcastic. Just curious. Your Video of reassembling the South Bend Lathe. Is interesting and informative and brings back memories. That South Bend Lathe is the Same Model South Bend Lathe’s that the High School I attended had in their Metal Shop. The High School I attended Metal Shop had I believe 6 South and Lathes. That all had a Face Plate,3 jaw scroll chuck, 4 jaw independent chuck, and collets from 1/16” to I believe 3/4 inches diameter round stock. There also was a few different size square and hex stock collets. My Grandson coincidentally graduated from the same high school as me over 40 years later. Oddly enough my grandsons Mother moved from Pennsylvania to the town I grew up in. During the late 1950’s through the Early 1970’s. At my grandson’s graduation I was allowed to go to where the metal shop was at one time. I couldn’t believe that the South Bend lathes and most of the other machinery was still there, not being used. I do remember that DuPont donated most of the machinery after WW2. In 12th grade DuPont Donated a huge Metal Lathe. It was a Monarch Lathe that had at least 12’ bed and a 24” swing and came with a lot of accessories. There was virtually no wear on the hardened ways. Anyway I’ve subscribed to your RUclips channel. I see you are relatively new. It will take a few years to get a lot of subscribers. Have patience keep making videos and your RUclips channel will grow.
Thank you for watching, and thank you for the story of those machines. We had a LeBlond with about a 5' bed in my high school, my friend and I tried to change a setting, and when we turned the spindle on it made some loud grinding noise and we quickly turned it off. We thought we had damaged something and hid it from our teacher. Nowadays I know my way around a bit better and I'm guessing we just had a power feed lever not fully meshed. As for the ax handle, I assure you, there is no good reason for any of this besides a strange joke for my friend's birthday. It's proudly displayed in his apartment to this day.
I looked for your kickstarter but couldn't find it.
I appreciate that, but this a passion project, purely for the joy of being silly
@@daveman4863 So you're saying this idea hasn't been patented and anyone can profit off of it?
How could we dirty something this beautiful with money?
Oh, the humanity. 🤣 Totally awesome, now I have to make one.
I believe everyone should have one
