Let's just recap here for a second; one self-taught man in a workshop using (quite) basic machines, makes a complex piece of tooling that requires multiple specialized processes and a very high level of accuracy. Never mind the screw ups, the (insane, I would think) amount of time and, probably, money spent to achieve this - you are doing an incredible job and are an unbelievable inspiration to go out in the workshop and make something. Well done, sir, well done!
The thing that automatically made the scroll gear? Or whatever that was called? Oh my god, it was like Willy Wonka went to machine shop instead of candy making! Absolutely amazing!
Now that he has done it once, if he can just manufacture these chucks in small batches, he would make a pretty penny. 6-jaw chucks are very expensive and highly desirable for manual and CNC machining.
Mindblowing video man!! Just the fact alone that you built the gear connection from your milling feed to the rotary table is worth an oscar in the machining category. Can't wait to see you make the jaws for it.
Love seeing other incredibly talented machinists recognise this man. You do amazing work and seem really humble. Great to see you're as enthusiastic to see the next one as the rest of us!
yeah it's an old-school technique you don't see often nowadays. I was using a similar fixture to cut the helical taper on injection molding extrusion screws on a Bridgeport back in the olden days.
Come on, you miss a couple of the American machinist channels were they have their faces and big bodies in front of the camera the whole time while rambling on and on cause they just love to hear themselves talk....😂
@@lancer2204 Exactly! Followed by the copious amounts of Patreon "support my channel" links... So tired of the American machinist channels panhandling to squeeze every penny that can from viewers.
I remember you telling us that your family did not understand why you chose this journey. Let them read the comments here, the mechanical world is blown away by your skills and mental capabilities. I truly hope you are able to feel proud, as it is truly deserved. And I hope your family has realised by now you are a Master in your trade, and an inspiration for many of us.
I know many master machinists and tool and die makers, I can guarantee that not one of them has ever even considered doing what you have done. Thank you for keeping the spirit of manual machining alive and well, it just goes to show with an inquisitive mind and amazing skill set, nothing is out of reach. You are an inspiration my friend!
as someone who watches a LOT of machining videos, this is definitely the most impressive feat of manual machining i have ever seen on youtube, my jaw was on the floor at the end.
I haven't been a machinist a long time, 18 years, but I've never seen or thought about putting a magnetic chuck in the lathe chuck. I'm completely blown away with his work.
I very definitely want to see a video of the gear train you built to link the indexer with the cross-feed screw. I know it's simple, but I just love to see you come up with solutions like that. Wonderful video, amazing work, and thank you for sharing it with us all. :)
Ca Lem, This has to be the single-most impressive thing I've seen a manual machinist make! Simply stunning... Of COURSE I want to see how you made the gear train to cut the spiral! I'd imagine for your next project you might go mine the ore and smelt the steel prior to crafting another masterpiece? LOL! What an amazing job! Now... please hurry up and publish "Part 2" of this build!! Best regards, Jon
Your videos are always inspiring. Great job again. This should still be entered in the tool making challenge. No one that I know of has ever made a chuck by hand. Your parents should be very proud to know how many people you have inspired around the world in the metal working community. You are an exceptional young man. Please continue. Thank you for sharing.
I have been in this trade 48 years and still I learn something new from people like you every day. I work mostly on a Toss SN 50 lathe fitted with a 250 mm diameter 4 jaw self centering chuck which is far superior to a 3 jaw chuck for many reasons. But a six jaw chuck would be fantastic. Never thought it is possible. BRILLIANT IDEA.
You are blowing the minds of millions! "make a video if your interested" I think we would enjoy watching you watch paint dry my friend. I still remember (and re-watch) the railroad track vise. Man, you just keep setting the bar higher! Thanks for sharing, Cheers
I've sat here reading comment after comment highlighting what you're achieving is absolutely amazing. I cannot fathom how you've built this level of machining knowledge after such a short number of years. It is mind blowing. Seriously Ca Lem, you're a phenom.
This is amazing! I have way more respect for somebody that does extremely complex projects like this on manual machines than I do for a project done on a CNC machine.
Just... wow. I'm always impressed by the work you do, and the tools you make. This is absolutely spectacular work. The gearing setup to cut the scroll is pure genius! I'd love to see all the calculations and design for that, as well as the making of (if you recorded it).
@FnA Agreed. The only thing that caused my eye to twitch (at first) on that totally cool rig was the belt. I thought, well if that slips, the whole thing is shot. But then I considered all the gearing and figured the load on the belt was likely too low to make it slip. The scroll turned out spectacular indeed!!!
Every time I see this young man step up to yet another level is proof positive that we are in the presence of greatness. Thank you for allowing me into your workshop.
My grandfather was a very skilled machinist at the NB locomotive works at Springburn, Glasgow. He would be just amazed had he lived to see what you are doing here Ca Lem !! Thank you for continuing to educate your viewers, and also for demonstrating to us how far a bit of "can-do" and human ingenuity can take a man :-)))
would only change two things first: it would be done on time to enter ToolFest2021 second: label the jaw slots A, B, Cà Lem, D, E and F. as usual (you set our expectations high) excellent work, thank you for letting us watch! . . . and somebody in the biz, please send this guy offcuts of good materials!
I've said it before. You are simply fearless. You think of a project, no matter how complex, and then just do it.........and always to an amazingly high standard. Absolute respect and admiration. Give us more...........
I've built myself a spiral setup for my dividing head, but I'd still like to see a video about your setup! Hell of a job and an absolutely first class video as always. Very much looking forward to part 2!
No way to describe this other than tool art. Absolutely amazing work! The tool itself, the jigs, the machinery used, the thought process, the filming, everything about this screams quality.
Absolutely amazing work!! You are an incredibly talented young man with a brilliant mind and, very strong work ethic, and your attention to detail is fantastic. I couldnt even imagine the time involved in this, in figuring it out, building the needed items to execute it. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I remember when I used to think gears were challenging. In those days it was mostly lack of knowledge and partly the tooling or equipment. Soon as I made my first C brake suddenly thinks began to change, add a 4th axis, then a 5th axis to the mill, and boom, the world of tool making broadens, and does so efficiently. I would encourage anyone who wants to machine to manually first. If you cant make due with manual how will you make quality with CNC? This guy knows what he is doing. His love is for making all things, not manufacturing. I’m familiar with this mindset. When you’re building your shop this is what you do. Before anyone thinks to buy a CNC engineer all those tools you want to buy from scratch like this guys and only then are you worthy of being a machinist. If you can’t make a boring rod, or thread a trapezoidal lead screw, regrind a broken end mill, or make custom cutter’s for your lathe stick to manual you haven’t spent enough time earning your keep yet. Before you turn on that first CNC build it, don’t buy it. Earn your communities respect. To all of you who know what I’m saying and appreciate this guys work because you’ve been there, hats off to you my friends l, you are also exceptional. Most will never understand until they’ve made it.
I’m blown away. I watched your first few videos and you progressed so far in a short time. Anyone who watches a lot of RUclips machining videos knows of Tom Lipton, Robin Renzetti, and Stefan Gotteswinter (sp?), and in no particular order I’d rank them top 3 but after seeing this I’d throw you right up against them in a heartbeat! I haven’t seen anyone else make something like this on RUclips. The mag chuck in the 4 jaw on the lathe had my jaw on the ground. That’s a new one I’ve never seen (yes I know they make commercial round mag chucks for lathes but that’s not the point. Then the diamond nib to dress the id grinder. Not to mention the geartrain running off the power feed to cut the scroll. Whipping up the pinions (little bevel gears) checking your hand ground cutter on the shadowgraph/optical comparator. I’m prolly gonna rewatch it cause I think I’m forgetting a couple more impressive operation not seen on these parts very often. And you hardened the parts too. Incredible, just incredible. My hats off to you young man!
I am halfway through the video. Watching your device to cut the spiral gear. HOOOOOOOOLY MOLY dude you are on another level when it comes to machining! Absolutely amazing bud. I LOOOOOOOOVE your videos.
Gday Cà Lem, absolutely amazing talent you have, you really are one of the best, you quality of work, fit and finish is a long way in front of what can ever be brought, i would love to see how you designed and build the setup for cutting the spiral, your an amazing man with a true talent and gift mate, I can’t wait to see the jaws being made, beautiful mate beautiful, cheers
Greetings from Australia Take some basic machines. Grinder, Lathe, Mill, dividing head Etc. These machines will give you the ability to make basic parts. Naturally the machines have be "Tuned " to perfection. and if there are any faults or foibles in the machines know them well. Next add careful design work then job planning. And finally add a highly skilled craftsman at the controls. I am in awe Mr Lem.
This is what I'd imagine Artificial Intelligence to look like. Dude with no engineering experience buys rusty old worn out lathes and mills and proceeds to rebuild them with sledge hammers and cold chisels. A few years later he's rebuilding the Solar System.
Я поражён вашим профессиональным уровнем мастерства, я физик и прекрасно себе представляю, что нужно знать и уметь, чтобы изготовить подобную деталь 🙂👍🏻
Merely being a hobbyist machinist myself ,this built has so many areas where the slightest mistake would ruin the whole built . In awe of this build . The jig you built for the scroll was ingenuity at it's best ....BRAVO sir and I have now subscribed to you amazing channel .
Absolutely incredible work! I really admire your patience and effort you put in. Extremely satisfying to watch! Thanks for sharing, I'm really looking forward to part two. Btw, really like the dial depth indicator on your milling machine quill :)
3 года назад+11
I fist made it for fun then came very handy. I do like its "vintage" look instead of digital one.
You Sir, are a Master Artisan. Excellent amazing work👌🏻. After spending 9 hours behind a lathe & milling machine myself today, it is an absolute pleasure to watch you at work.
VERY NICELY MANUFACTURED ! ! ! ! I made a 4.000" 6 jaw scroll chuck, just to see if I could do it... Yes, I did it, but, WOW, was that a hard and long project, I think I had 180 hours in that, from R&D, to CAD work, to set up's, and (a few mistakes to re make) to finished completed 6 jaw chuck. Then I found exactly what I wanted on like from another country, for like $280 USD shipped.. LOL... That is okay, I enjoyed making it and learned allot. but, I like the lock system you did for the chuck key driver gears, that was a really clever locking system. Well done !!!!
Never mind the toolfest. The fact that you made a 6 jaw chuck is an impressive accomplishment. Your videos are the most interesting of all the machinist channels out there
CaLem, you have out done yourself on this project mate 💯👍. Without a doubt the best machining video I have ever watched on RUclips. You have just blown my mind 💥. Kudos to you my friend 👏 👏
I've never felt so bad, being entertained and impressed with machining prowess... you sir, are a god amongst men at machining! Even made your own grease fitting. Bravo! After watching this, I would be very interested in seeing other work projects of yours. Thanks for the vid
Awesome work.......as usual! I have no doubt that you would have earned first place/prize in the Toolfest 2021 event. Thanks for the upload. Really looking forward to the next one. All the best.
Some people use canvas and paint to create art, Others use steel and machines. Absolutely epic! I have fiddled with a lathe as a hobby, and by now would probably be able to create the oiler you made, but probably not as good. Thanks for sharing this and allow us to marvel at your skills!
Designing and building the scroll cutter absolutely deserves a video! Reminds me of the Keith Rucker series about the low lead attachment for his K&T. I love the improvised cardboard chip catcher too. Brilliant!
What a video, I was smiling in awe watching that. I get a proper machinist hard-on watching you work. Your ingenuity, dedication, accuracy and perseverance are astonishing. Please keep doing what you do!
How far you have come in the short time you post these video's, is unbelievable. I started watching you, when you build the welding table and now you do this stuff. Incredible progress you made. Hats off to you sir!
To me, sir, you are the most creative, most inspirational and bravest machinist creator on RUclips. Your video quality and editing is also superb. Thank you!!!
This is the most amazing video I have seen for long. Maybe even best ever. I can't remember ever watching skills like this from anyone on RUclips. I am so amazed. You are fantastic!
Epic work. Its an internet travesty this channel doesnt have 3 million subscribers ... Thank you for the inspiration and amazing craftsmanship. Humbling to watch
This is some beautiful work. Something that any machinist would be very proud of. Love your ingenuity and look forward to watching the rest of your series. So glad RUclips recommended your channel.
Its criminal that you dont have more subscribers Brother, your up there with my favourite youtubers and knowing you makes it even better. Well done Mr Ice-cream
3 года назад+2
You need to show my video to your family, friends, neighbors...
Absolutely amazing. Brilliant job done with true skill, not done with the help of sponsors, camera people, brand new CNC and Laser cutters supplied at not charge. Just pure skill.
just incredible, you sir are a fantastic Mechanic, i was a mechanic by myself, and i know how difficult it is to produce such complex stuff. you are amazing!
You sir are a treasure! I am constantly amazed by your creativity and skill in accomplishing things that would be considered impossible by many of us. Cudos!
Your level of skills still surprices me. This is pure craftsmanship... Many wont even be able to do this on a modern multi axis cnc machine. - You are the best Ca Lem !!! Warm regards from Denmark.
0:00 -- I am sure he will make an independent 6-jaw to not have to cut the spiral groove. (makes machine to cut spiral groove) -- No way! (proceeds to chamfer the groove) -- Now you are showing off. ... Awesome work, as always! Thanks for showing us what persistence can achieve...
You my friend are one insanely talented person ! The rotisserie set up for hardening is sheer genius ! I don’t even want to think about how many hours of work went into this and all along still being able to concentrate on getting it all on video is mind blowing! Thanks for the video !
Great work man! Respect for building something like this. A lot of challenges in the proces. Keep up the good work. Btw, a 7 Jaw chuck would have been very unique too... ;-)
Truly a masterclass in making something out of nothing. My highlight was the rotating heat treatment. I’d love to see him sponsored to make the trip to the next the Bar Z Summer Bash.
I've always wanted to see how a lathe chuck was made. Of all the years I've been watching RUclips, I've only seen a few. They were mostly half hearted and failed efforts made out of poorly cast aluminum, peened or screwed layers of metal plates, and toy 3D plastic prints. The closest I've seen to a properly made one was a miniature CNCed brass 3-jaw chuck. I just chucked making a lathe chuck (No pun intended) to being too complex for even a expert machinist to make. If it was possible, lathe chucks wouldn't cost as much as they do. Well, here I am with my jaw dropped after watching not a face plate, collet, 3-jaw, or even a 4-jaw, but an actual size, meticulously machined and hardened 6-jaw chuck! This young man didn't win the 2021 competition because there's no competition! He has upped the machining game on RUclips to a whole new level! RUclips machinists, including Gotteswinter, please take note!
Cà Lem, you are amazing! You are definitely a genius! Your mind works better than 99% of the minds in the world! That's just a fact. I admire you! You use your mind to the max and then push it some more. Thank you for sharing these amazing feats of engineering and machining! If I were a wealthy man I'd find a way to set you up in a modern machine shop where you could employ your countrymen and make a future for many people. Thank you so much for sharing the work that you do! :)
Cà Lem, as usual you never cease to amaze me with your skills and understanding of the processes needed to manufacture machine tools and components. You make it all seem so simple (to watch, let alone do) but you manage it will what appears to be an almost effortless manner. Simply amazing to see you work your way through every step with the skills of a master craftsman. Bravo Sir, Bravo and thank you so very much for taking us all along on your journey. Stay Safe Sir, and Thank You again.
Let's just recap here for a second; one self-taught man in a workshop using (quite) basic machines, makes a complex piece of tooling that requires multiple specialized processes and a very high level of accuracy.
Never mind the screw ups, the (insane, I would think) amount of time and, probably, money spent to achieve this - you are doing an incredible job and are an unbelievable inspiration to go out in the workshop and make something.
Well done, sir, well done!
@Niels add "...with fewer years experience than many a machinist" and you've summarized perfectly. My god man this guy can make anything!!!!
He is a winner in my book.
The thing that automatically made the scroll gear? Or whatever that was called? Oh my god, it was like Willy Wonka went to machine shop instead of candy making! Absolutely amazing!
On machines he rebuilt himself!
Now that he has done it once, if he can just manufacture these chucks in small batches, he would make a pretty penny. 6-jaw chucks are very expensive and highly desirable for manual and CNC machining.
Mindblowing video man!!
Just the fact alone that you built the gear connection from your milling feed to the rotary table is worth an oscar in the machining category.
Can't wait to see you make the jaws for it.
Love seeing other incredibly talented machinists recognise this man. You do amazing work and seem really humble. Great to see you're as enthusiastic to see the next one as the rest of us!
genius.
That was very impressive indeed.
yeah it's an old-school technique you don't see often nowadays. I was using a similar fixture to cut the helical taper on injection molding extrusion screws on a Bridgeport back in the olden days.
YES! Perfect. No music just the sound of metal and tools. How it should be!

This are a very old way , but to recreate this setup are so impressive, today you only see this kind of work on CNC machines
Please please show….. this is really great! Well executed!
Yes! Please!
I thought he did. It's a gear reducer, where 1 complete turn of the index translates to table travel of 1 thread pitch of the spiral.

Awesome work.......as usual! I have no doubt that you would have earned first place/prize in the Toolfest 2021 event. Thanks for the upload. Really looking forward to the next one. All the best.
Yeah, his expectations was set way too high. He was going to bring a machine gun to a slingshot fight.
Some people use canvas and paint to create art, Others use steel and machines. Absolutely epic! I have fiddled with a lathe as a hobby, and by now would probably be able to create the oiler you made, but probably not as good. Thanks for sharing this and allow us to marvel at your skills!
This guy is an inspiration! Love from India.
Designing and building the scroll cutter absolutely deserves a video! Reminds me of the Keith Rucker series about the low lead attachment for his K&T.
I love the improvised cardboard chip catcher too. Brilliant!
When I saw the title, I asked....how is he going to machine the scroll. Then you geared the cross feed to the rotary indexer....very clever!
Exactly! I saw the thumbnail and thought the same thing, "what about the scroll?"
I figured he was going to make a 6-jaw independent chuck because linking a rotary axis to the x-travel of the machine would be crazy hard :)
Outstanding craftsmanship! Cutting the scroll was an amazing feat! You definitely have what it takes to be a toolmaker.
Wow - a big job. My hat is off to you Mr Ice Cream :D
Beautiful work. Look forward to seeing the jaws made.
Thanks Craig 🤓
What a video, I was smiling in awe watching that. I get a proper machinist hard-on watching you work.
Your ingenuity, dedication, accuracy and perseverance are astonishing. Please keep doing what you do!
Incredible work.
Another awesome piece! The amount of work just in the spiral gear cutter drive is wild. Bravo!
Wow that was awesome!
I love that you set up a rotisserie in the heat treat oven for even heat. That was a nice touch
Thanks mate 😁
How far you have come in the short time you post these video's, is unbelievable. I started watching you, when you build the welding table and now you do this stuff. Incredible progress you made. Hats off to you sir!
This is a master peace and you are the master.
Perfect and thanks a lot for showing it.
To me, sir, you are the most creative, most inspirational and bravest machinist creator on RUclips. Your video quality and editing is also superb. Thank you!!!
This is the nuttiest thing I've seen done. The spiral cut was inspirational!
Simply an amazing engineer. The inner metal-worker in me squeals with delight watching this! You are a true craftsman!
A beautiful thing to watch. Epic struggle and a victorious outcome!
Awesome build CaLem. You did a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing.
This is the most amazing video I have seen for long. Maybe even best ever. I can't remember ever watching skills like this from anyone on RUclips. I am so amazed. You are fantastic!
Epic work. Its an internet travesty this channel doesnt have 3 million subscribers ... Thank you for the inspiration and amazing craftsmanship. Humbling to watch
you're an incredibly talented man !
This is some beautiful work. Something that any machinist would be very proud of. Love your ingenuity and look forward to watching the rest of your series. So glad RUclips recommended your channel.
Cá Lem - OF COURSE you should make a video about the spiral gear set for the rotor-head!!!
Its criminal that you dont have more subscribers Brother, your up there with my favourite youtubers and knowing you makes it even better. Well done Mr Ice-cream
You need to show my video to your family, friends, neighbors...
@ dont worry i show everyone,
Damn this is an awesome project dude, very impressive
Absolutely amazing. Brilliant job done with true skill, not done with the help of sponsors, camera people, brand new CNC and Laser cutters supplied at not charge. Just pure skill.
I am very proud of you, my buddy. Your work makes me so inspired as always.
Nhậu thôi
just incredible, you sir are a fantastic Mechanic, i was a mechanic by myself, and i know how difficult it is to produce such complex stuff. you are amazing!
"You made a chuck key? That's cute. Hold my beer!"
Dude, this is truly amazing and inspiring. Can't wait to see part 2.
You sir are a treasure! I am constantly amazed by your creativity and skill in accomplishing things that would be considered impossible by many of us. Cudos!
Of course we want to see a video about the spiral gear jig! Keep it up, this stuff is amazing! 🙂
No superlative comes even close to explaining how good your self taught machining skills are, my hat is off to you young fella, very well done.
Шикарная работа 👍👍🦾🦾😲 Как искусство 😉🤗
Великолепная работа!Спираль с помощью механики, сколько предварительной работы по объёму.
Your level of skills still surprices me. This is pure craftsmanship... Many wont even be able to do this on a modern multi axis cnc machine. - You are the best Ca Lem !!! Warm regards from Denmark.
Thank you my man 🤓
😮🤯🤩😍Soooo much talent. Soooo much skill. Soooo much handsome.
You are truly an amazing maker, can't wait for part 2. 👍🍺
You cant see my feet too 😂
@ 🤣🤣🦶🦶
0:00 -- I am sure he will make an independent 6-jaw to not have to cut the spiral groove.
(makes machine to cut spiral groove) -- No way!
(proceeds to chamfer the groove) -- Now you are showing off.
...
Awesome work, as always!
Thanks for showing us what persistence can achieve...
Слушай, ну это вообще человек😉. Молодец, я желаю тебе здоровья. Круто. Я не могу выразить свои эмоции. Ты феноменально изготавливаешь детали.
Чел. знает своё дело. Мне только мечтать о током.
You my friend are one insanely talented person !
The rotisserie set up for hardening is sheer genius !
I don’t even want to think about how many hours of work went into this and all along still being able to concentrate on getting it all on video is mind blowing!
Thanks for the video !
Great work man! Respect for building something like this. A lot of challenges in the proces. Keep up the good work. Btw, a 7 Jaw chuck would have been very unique too... ;-)
Thanks Bart 🤓
You are absolutely insane. Probably the coolest machining video on RUclips right now.
Perfect video but the machining is better. Amazing work in every possible way.
You've outplayed and outperformed that Tony, who (as I suppose) brought you into this hobby. Outstanding!
Truly a masterclass in making something out of nothing. My highlight was the rotating heat treatment. I’d love to see him sponsored to make the trip to the next the Bar Z Summer Bash.
I've always wanted to see how a lathe chuck was made. Of all the years I've been watching RUclips, I've only seen a few. They were mostly half hearted and failed efforts made out of poorly cast aluminum, peened or screwed layers of metal plates, and toy 3D plastic prints. The closest I've seen to a properly made one was a miniature CNCed brass 3-jaw chuck. I just chucked making a lathe chuck (No pun intended) to being too complex for even a expert machinist to make. If it was possible, lathe chucks wouldn't cost as much as they do.
Well, here I am with my jaw dropped after watching not a face plate, collet, 3-jaw, or even a 4-jaw, but an actual size, meticulously machined and hardened 6-jaw chuck! This young man didn't win the 2021 competition because there's no competition! He has upped the machining game on RUclips to a whole new level! RUclips machinists, including Gotteswinter, please take note!
Cà Lem my man i'am really impressed
Cà Lem, you are amazing!
You are definitely a genius! Your mind works better than 99% of the minds in the world! That's just a fact.
I admire you! You use your mind to the max and then push it some more.
Thank you for sharing these amazing feats of engineering and machining!
If I were a wealthy man I'd find a way to set you up in a modern machine shop where you could employ your countrymen and make a future for many people.
Thank you so much for sharing the work that you do! :)
I think it's safe to say we would love to see the build of the gearing for the spiral cut
Cà Lem, as usual you never cease to amaze me with your skills and understanding of the processes needed to manufacture machine tools and components. You make it all seem so simple (to watch, let alone do) but you manage it will what appears to be an almost effortless manner. Simply amazing to see you work your way through every step with the skills of a master craftsman. Bravo Sir, Bravo and thank you so very much for taking us all along on your journey. Stay Safe Sir, and Thank You again.
Thank you sir 🤓
Bad ass work 👏👏👏
