FYI, my grandfather was a top notch Tool and Die maker. The first tool that he taught me to make was a tailstock die holder. When I got his tool box, after he retired, it had several simple tail stock die holders in it with his name engraved in them. You beat me to this build so maybe I will use your design on my next one. This will become clear when I up-load my next video. Thanks for sharing.
Quinn, so nice to see you putting the Wilton Vice to use...exactly what I was hoping for!
It’s amazing! Such a beautiful piece
I never thought I’d get in to machining! But I’m proud to say I bought my first lathe today (a precision Mathews import lathe similar to yours) and can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for inspiring so many women like me! It excites me to see a future with more women in STEM fields!
Congrats on the new machine! 😀
Congratz! How are you liking the machine?
@@macornman It has been great! I’ve mostly been working with brass and aluminium and have only occasionally tried steel but no parting just yet! As much as I’ve enjoyed lathe work I am only just realising how much I “need” a mill, bandsaw and a million other things. So it’s fair to say I think I have a few more tools coming my way! It’s just so addictive taking a boring hunk of metal and turning into something functional. My favourite was the machinist hammer, I followed Quinn’s video on it and have produced quite the beautiful little device!
@@rachelpanth5527 The rabbit hole is very deep! There is always something else you "need" for this hobby. But a mill is a "necessity."
@@rachelpanth5527 I've been doing this fifty years, once you've discovered "how everything is made" you find you need everything. I began because I was working on motorcycles, and couldn't afford parts. It was way late I realized how great it was to make all the ancillary equipment. I've only done it full time after I retired. Never pass up free raw material! Cutting metal demonstrates how everything is made.
17° = 17° I mean, really, where would we be without you Quinn. Eternally grateful for your work.
I am a poppy of 3 smart ,wonderful grand daughters. They are 11, 10 and 7 years old. They love working on their dads dirt race car. I show them your videos all the time and I say, this is what girl power can do. I tell them to never let anything hold them back. Their dad is a welder/fabricator, we are trying to encourage them to do things outside of the box ( like going to a trade school), so far they are very interested. My wife and I love to watch YOUR videos, because of how you explain how and what you are doing. We also watch Cloug 42 and you both compliment each others videos. Keep up the good work !!
Thanks for doing the metric/imperial thing in a nice way. I really appreciate you translating the sizes and giving it a funny spin instead of heating up the everlasting discussion.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Even after over 50 years as a machinist I can say I learned something new, most of the time I use my Bridgeport to drill holes like that with a dividing head. Now I can use my drill press. Thanks for the nice video.
Excellent presentation! No wasted words but still lots of very informative comments including options and reasons for the choices made.👍👍👍👍
The chuck key on a strip near the vertical drill is a brilliant idea, thanks for it!
I really appreciate the imperial to metric conversion for the 17 degrees.
".... everything else, you can just wing it..." Music to my bodging ears. *This* is a project for me. Thanks.
Thank you for converting 17° imperial to metric.
Very nice. I love the result you get with the Oxpho blue. I have a bottle sitting on my dining room table, looking for an excuse to use it.
Just for shits and grins, try some on the wife’s silverware and give us a report! Ha!
As always, good video. A useful shop tool project. I did some experimenting with Brownell’s Oxpho Blue recently. I used a cotton ball saturated with Brownell's, and wrapped some 0000 steel wool around the cotton ball. I then rubbed the steel wool on the surface while squeezing on the cotton ball at the same time. What this did was to give me a more consistent less "splotchy" finish. Buff with a paper towel and apply T9- Boshield.... If it weren't for this channel, I would not have even known about Brownell’s Oxpho Blue...!
Quinn, first, just one more STELLAR video.
One of my favourite Machinists to watch,
and DEFINITELY, the prettiest!
As I've made 62 trips around the sun, I know
the expression, "Bob's your uncle." Not sure
everyone does. (Surprising, since I'm a Colonial.

steve
That is a very good video and a good tool. If I'd not already made something like that I'd have to make another. Good job
Merch idea "I was taught by a blond"?
Love the video my set is to small for this lol
Excellent - as I have come to expect from you!
Yep, Quinn ROCKS!
steve
:O Ron is here!?
I can hear Quinn saying to herself: “Aaaaand from now on I will get extreme performance anxiety bouts whenever filming, editing and uploading a new video thinking about Ron’s expectations”
Wow! I've never been this early for a Blondihacks video! Or any video come to that. Quinn, your videos make my Saturday night!
It's kind of amazing just how much information you transfer in one of these videos if you are paying attention. Nice job on that little unit!
I really like all the thought that went into the setup to do the operations on the drill press .
I often use an ordinary die holder on my lathe and because the handles bang against the bed I have to take one off, do half a turn, put it back on, take the other one off......... yada yada yada..... the Tommy bar in this holder is truly a gift from god.... or at least a gift from Quinn.
That opening pun just earned you a subscriber.
Quinn, wow! Such a simple tool, but you made it look fantastic too! I'm going to make one as soon as I can get back into my work shop.
New project for the kids at school, thanks Quinn!
17 deg ~= 17 deg....classic! Hopefully that does not awaken the cancel imperial units folks; I fear the days when some will insist all inhabitants of the world do all angle measurements in radians.
I thought a metric circle has 100 degrees.
Sorry but 360 degrees is older than both metric and imperial. It is a 5000 year old base 60 system: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal
@@daveholub8045 a metric circle actually has 400 Gradians
@@Spectral_Penguin I knew that was coming! Nicely played!
But but but radians are as easy as pi!
Good video, thanks. I’m going to make one. Years ago I knocked apart a dead hard drive for the extremely powerful rare earth magnet inside. It sticks to the top of the face of my drill press, holding the key in place. One only needs to toss the key in the general direction of the magnet.... no key dangling on a string. Too easy to get used to :-)
There’s no such thing as scrap metal, there’s just bits of metal I haven’t found a use for yet.
That's exactly what I tell my wife to justify the pile of scrap I have I in the backyard 😆
Really liked this project, it was a great watch. Thanks!
I need to make myself one of these!
From one afficionado of dad jokes to another; I really enjoyed them, and didn't find them boring in the slightest!
Hi Quinn, loving your videos 🥰 They're such a charming and refreshing change, particularly in the current climate. My engineering days ended 40 years ago, but I still understand the tools and principles you show. A big thank you, from an avid fan 🤗🇬🇧
Great explanation!. Cheers, from New Zealand
Always wanted to make one of these...thanks for giving me the push to finally do it!! Great video Quinn!!
I made three failed attempts at the tap follower before admitting I suck at machining! Then I saw mr Pete’s version and had wonderful success! All my friends and family are getting one for Christmas this year now! Good to be able to “tap” my resources! Ha!
Great setup on the drill press
I use a tailstock die holder at work quite often for the smaller threads (M6 and under) especially on longer threaded sections where its not worth the hassle of programming out tapers from deflection, etc. If its a really long thread you can start by screw cutting so that it doesn't wander off centre then finish it by chasing it with a die.
If I may suggest a lathe project:
Make a center punch specifically for marking holes for mounting hinges.
Such a tool would be made available f two pieces: an alignment/holder and a punch pin.
The holder’s nose would be beveled at the same 72 degrees as used to n flathead screws. Simply pressing the holder onto the screw hole in the hinge would center it over the hole. There would be a long bore through the holder for the punch pin, I imagine this part being either hex stock or knurled, from 3/8” to 1/2” diameter. Hex stock won’t roll off the workbench.
The pin could be something as simple as a large common nail, slightly longer than the holder.
To use: Place holder, insert pin, tap pin to mark.
You do know, of course, that I can no longer part anything off on my lathe without at least thinking the magic word not to mention doing the tappy, tap, tap thing on my mill.
Totally started doing this, yep.
Same. "Aaaaand..."
I think tappy tap tap when using my mill :)
This is something I have been meaning to make for ages.
I've been waiting for you to make one of these. Excellent video . Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your work i am a beginner and have learned so much from your vids . I love watching and your attention to detail is fantastic , much appreciated
Nice stuff, Quinn.
Another excellent video, Quinn you always make it look easy and fun.
An it was “Boring” in any way what so ever.
😎🙏🙏
Im a toolmaker by trade and Im deffo gonna make one of these! We've got jobs ranging from M3 all the way up to 1"! I also made a copy of your fly cutter - it leaves a fantastic finish! This is next on my list after a two-piece vice is finished. That floatlock vice is looking good too after a piece of half inch plate nearly took out out a rib or two after a very sketchy grab....
Love your stuff! Very fun and professional!.
i like that i just may have to make one for the sake of it its simple and does the job i saw another with a grove in the side but didnt like that one Great work my friend i will check out your other videos great tutorial thanks.
I've been a machinist / tool maker for 40 years. They have always been and will always be snap gauges (at last to me).
Glad to hear it. I get a lot of angry messages the other way on that one. 😬
I've just watched this a second time because I'm ready to make one for myself. Got the lathe set up, and I have some 1.75" steel stock, so let's go! (off to Patreon to find the drawings)
I can't wait for the end of the video... WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE LEFTOVER STUB???
Quinn, I LOVE your videos and I love your explaining for the Layman but you have to remember a lot of us Hobbyists don't have a lot of the equipment that you have. I know you want to show us how to do everything perfectly but if you could do videos using the bare minimum of equipment, that would be awesome!
my next project, many thanks.
Nice! Plenty of tips and good practices. By coincidence today I began working on my own which will be a bit different mainly to better adapt to a much smaller lathe.
Nice job Quinn.👍👍👍
might be one of the first things to do when my minilathe finally arrives next week.
Thinking about doing it with alu,should work too.
greetings from germany
Hey! What minilathe did you get? :)
@@rojirrim7298 going to get the "famous" CJ18A,which has to be seen as a Lathe-kit,somehow assembled ,but needs some love and attention before starting to use.Lots of videos out on it.
@@chevyfahrer Thanks for the answer :)
@@rojirrim7298 I’ll put you on our prayer list!
Nice project and well done.
Great stuff thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great explanation and easy to follow instructions. 👍
Nice no funky music. Great instructions with great tips!
Super Voltron.. Awesome..
That brass tube was very clever
I was already digging your channel. Then you busted out the Voltron reference. I am all in now😂
Another joyful class!
6:26 I knew Voltron might have be an influencer...channel makes sense now. Wonderful content, thank you for this superb channel. 10:47 sort of has ears like Voltron too :)
Love it!
Very nice work. I really need to make one. He he. Another day
Quinn, these tutorials are pure gold for the inexperienced like me. What's your opinion on James' electronic leadscrew project? That would save a lot of switching greasy gears for those of us who haven't been blessed with mechanical gearboxes in their lathes.
Fantastic tutorial. Cant wait to make myself one of these. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic build. New subscriber and I love the build.
Dad joke away! We're here for the entertainment and learning and jokes help me learn.
i need one for my little pencil sharpener lathe just incase maybe i need to cut threads at some point
So is a Voltron die holder five die holders that come together to form one all powerful die holder. Lol good video, I think I'll try to make one.
I intentionally waited an hour to watch this just so I dont get the first comment :D (And yes I would have gotten the first comment)
(Edit) I would like to mention I have about 10 tailstock die holders for my little Sherline as I make them for fun when I am bored :D Am I ok?
Very good video. Looks like a great tool have and like your design. Will have to make one eventually and will take note of your design! Thanks
I was using a homemade adapter for 13/16 dies and agree it's fussy
I like to use a boring bar and spin the lathe the other way when I do those kind of tapers, so I can have the compound handle on the closer side of the lathe. It’s more comfortable and safer than reaching over the ways of the lathe to turn the handle of your compound. It can really get to be a hassle when you’re reaching over on a bigger lathe or when the tapper is more flat than 30 degrees. Once I was shown this method I won’t do it any other way.
OR dose the leftover stub become a Christmas paper weight 😁
Very nice and inspiring video :)
Such good timing. I need a die holder and now there is no excuse not to not to make one.
Thanks.
Nice job!!
Thanks for doing the imperial -metric conversion. You kind of missed the opportunity to do a Celsius - fahrenheit joke with the 17°=17° 😀
Very good work, thanks
I have noticed recently that everytime I go to the shop to do something I find that I need to build a tool to build a tool to build a tool.
Hi Quinn,
Good video, not in the slightest boring other than the boring parts...
Take care
Paul,,
Oh! "Boring" was a joke!? Passed me by! 🤔😲😲😁😁😁
Yoh, I'm glad she gave the angle in Metric. I always have trouble converting that.
Bob’s your uncle: or Robert’s your mother’s brother! Nice video as usual!
So much great machining and learning to be had but I was dumbfounded by your chuck key tether. It’s the simple things.
Got that from my dad. He always did that with his drill presses. 😁
i make the "boring" joke in my head *every* time someone says "boring bar".
Quinn, Awesome video, great content, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
Somehow I had missed this one first time around...
So I got curious about what dies I had in my set. They';re all hexagonal! Two different sizes, too. This is a "Blue Point" set, off the Snap-On truck. For some odd reason the smaller tap holder won't handle the very smallest taps in there.
I really like how u explain what u r doing. Never hav opperate a lathe but would luv 2 own 1 . Mayb 1 day..
Wonderful video, it's certainly one I could "die" for ! Oh My God, was that a pun ?
The joys of photographic memory. See it done once and I know what to do when I get the harbor freight lathe in 3 months
(tax time)
Save money like mad for the next 3 months to add to your tax refund and buy a better lathe.
Had one. Now getting one to puts around on
@@wi11y1960 Well, at least get one with a 14" bed. By the time you put a chuck on the short one Harbor Freight sells and put a drill chuck in the tail stock you don't have very much room for your work. Little Machine Shop has 7"x16" lathes on sale (the last of their pre-tariff machines). They look a bit better finished than the HF machines.
Before you rush out to your local harbor freight, look at their website and search “7x12 mini lathe”. This one is actually 4” longer than the one they sell in stores, but it’s only available online. Due to a strange set of circumstances, I wound up with a Grizzly G0765 7x14 AND the H F 7x12 mini lathes, both brand new, and I like them equally. The Grizzly comes with a lot of extras, but the HF is quieter! Don’t waste your money on the 7x10 unit unless all you’re going to turn is friendship rings! A side note: the so called “7x10” lathe is actually 7x8! HF has taken liberties with their description! Research a lot before springing!
@@tomt9543 The only caution would be that the HF lathes seem to be the bottom of the barrel mini lathes available. If you are an old geezer like me you might remember that HF actually sold a very nice Taiwanese 12x24 lathe 30 years ago:

I love how you troll the bad commenters! Too many You Tubers give them too much attention.
Quinn , its been a great day new Blondihacks Video (outstanding) , The sun is shinning here... and Ron Covell Follows you !!!!!! How cool is that ... Whats next ??? I know your going to tell me Robin Renzetti Is your new coworker at the space ship factory ??? stay well Pete M
You should have a box under your bench labelled "Stubs too small to save."
I've just started " hobby lathing" and find your tuition vids so helpful. I'm learning alot from you. Question...can you show us how to make our own boring bar....or is it better to buy one? Thank you Blondi
Why do people keep making me want to buy a lathe for my one bedroom, second floor, fully carpeted, apartment? Why do I keep thinking it's a good idea despite not having any idea of a project I would want to make, and knowing it would probably violate my lease?
Ah well, keep up the good work, and know you make this so interesting it might make me do something profoundly stupid.
The fella from NYC CNC started out that way. Now he's got a huge shop (I think family may have helped with some expenses though). I think if you only ran it during the day and didn't annoy the neighbors, it could work. It's a nice tool to have around.
Just start planning to buy one, you will do it anyway
Metal chips on a carpet are a big problem. Better to start welding instead of machining. No chips on your carpet. Only sparks.
Snap gauge? We called them approximaters. Because we had dial bore gauges, and other more accurate measuring devices.
Your series is my goto for learning machining - thanks. I appreciate that you are quite pedantic at doing everything properly - it's always good to know the right or best way, then work back from that with knowledge. However I'm baffled as to why you would use a 1-2-3 block to square the toolpost? The tool tip is radiused, surely a few decimal-degres is not going to matter at all?
You are usually cutting deeper than the radius on the tool. The side of the tool is doing the cutting, which is why lead angle matters.
Are those not usually called snap gauges? That's what I've always called them.
