I'd very much like to go back and finish that series, yes. A lot has changed in the intervening time though. I no longer have a need to make a DIY ultraprecision lathe because our shop got one donated. But there are some other fun inspection fixtures I wanted to share that use the air bearings.
Hey, just noticed you are back on YT. That's awesome! I loved your auto collimator series. If you ever get around to building that thing I would watch the heck out of that.
He's alive! This knowledge is effectively useless for me. My job has nothing to do with machining, and yet somehow I watched you make a really fancy tube for 30 minutes.
You missed to mention that treads taps usually have a transition part before threads are cut in full. So you have to check whether you get the required thread count with full specs.
There's a bit of an explanation in the video description. The Finder Scope is the student project in MACH 210 - the intro course in machining and manufacturing at Laney College. It's a low magnification refractor telescope with an integrated altitude-azimuth mount. It is intended to aid in finding objects of interest in the night sky when using a larger, higher magnification reflector telescope which will be the capstone project in the machine technology course sequence. These are instructional videos I use in my course to guide student lab work.
The stars have finally aligned!!!! 🎉
Ha!
Very nicely done. I hope to see the rest of these in the coming months.
Thanks! I'm trying to crank them out as fast as possible for my students.
@@LaneyMachineTech thank you for also sharing with the world! Awesome to see this as a hobbyist I love the techniques.
Any chance there will be a continuation of the air bearing videos?!?

Good to see you posting again!
Thanks!
Welcome back! :D
Oh I am excited for this project!
Me too 😁

The king has returned!
Glad to see you back! 🥳
Thanks!
Enjoyed..great video production/discussion/instruction/demonstration/build
I love all of the things that you post on Instagram but I have been really missing you long form yt videos. Either way keep up the amazing work!
Glad you like them! I have been wanting to get back into YT for years and these instructional videos were a good opportunity.

Haha! Happy to waste some of your precious time.
OMG IT’S HAPPENNNNNNNNNIIIIIINNNNGGGG

This was mentioned in another video I did for my students and I also sized the lead chamfer on the threads to basically cancel out this effect.
Hey bud, whatever happened to part 4 of the anodizing series?
You mean the air bearing series? I'll pick it back up eventually. Many other priorities at the moment.
I'm hoping for some context . When finished what willthe finder scope "do" / be used for??. Thanks for your videos
