74-year-old retired Journeyman tool maker. After 30 years in the trade, I went into outside tooling sales for my remaining ten. A well-rounded career! I've seen many individuals come into the trade. Few were exceptional, and some were, um, an embarrassment to the trade. I've watched your videos with rapt attention and will say that you are special. You have an eye for detail, and that shows in your finishes. I have seen very few women in the machining trade, especially with your grasp of knowledge. Keep on shining! Calude
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
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.
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 !!
Very nice and less boring than you think!
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.
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!
The chuck key on a strip near the vertical drill is a brilliant idea, thanks for it!
I really like all the thought that went into the setup to do the operations on the drill press .
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...!
Yay!! It's Blondihacks time! (And I'm actually home to watch in time this week)
I really should get myself a lathe... so many neat things I could make...
I really appreciate the imperial to metric conversion for the 17 degrees.
Thank you for this. I had a simple, but not simple, component to make - a hex bar with a 1/4 - 24 RH thread on one end and LH thread on the other. The thread turning video got me cutting both threads on a practice run and then the backup dies arrived for the final piece. I had a tailstock die holder, but naturally it only had inserts for imperial sized dies and, despite being 1/4 - 20 the two dies that arrived were 20mm. So, following your process, I was able to make a new holder insert for my tailstock die holder, and the piece is now finished. Yay. Thank you again!
Excellent presentation! No wasted words but still lots of very informative comments including options and reasons for the choices made.👍👍👍👍
That trick with the adjustable parallel.... brilliant.
You say you are Canadian, but the results of your work show that you are also fine finish.
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.

Thanks for listing everything you used for this video in the comments, with links......very helpful!
You are never boring. You're awesome!
Awesome little tricks today. Thanks Quinn.
Really liked this project, it was a great watch. Thanks!
I worked for a company that manufactured medical diagnostic machines. I mostly ran a manual lathe. I made a die holder with an insert for 2 die sizes as well as taps. It was a production shop and I used it quite often. Taps from 2-56 to 5/16-18.
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.
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.
Wow! I've never been this early for a Blondihacks video! Or any video come to that. Quinn, your videos make my Saturday night!
New project for the kids at school, thanks Quinn!
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!
excellent I need to make one of those . I do appreciate that you do some of these projects without a mill because I don't have a mill its nice to see it done that way with a drillpress.
You know its a good vid when Sprocket gives her opinion!
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
Thank you for converting 17° imperial to metric.
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
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 :-)
Boring has a Zen-like quality to it. I like it. It is not "boring" to me. Perhaps I am the exception.
Excellent project, the die holder is probably one of the most used tools in the workshop, If all you have is those crappy carbon steel dies you usually have to single point the threads and then finish to size with a die. I think I shall follow your lead and use the cold bluing more often, it does give it a "pro" look, I think. Cheers!
Great setup on the drill press
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.
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”
Thanks Quinn
I need to make myself one of these!
Love your stuff! Very fun and professional!.
".... everything else, you can just wing it..." Music to my bodging ears. *This* is a project for me. Thanks.
Love your videos, I have learned so much and really appreciate them!! I was thinking about your tap follower and this die holder and had an idea. You could put a compression spring between the body of the tool and jacobs chuck. That way you could use one hand to hold the tool and one to hold the lathe chuck. Just an idea.
the brass tubing on the hand wheel is a neat trick.
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!
I like the idea of a 1 " holder on one end and 13/16 " on the other. Plus when save room in your shop (1 instead of 2 tools). Cheers
13/16ths not to be an ass
@@tman19971 Corrected.
I can't wait for the end of the video... WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE LEFTOVER STUB???
I just want to point this out Quinn I am a tool maker by trade and use a rigid die holder in the tail stock all the time for short threads. If you are making a rigid ( no slip fit shaft ) put a clearance hole though it in case you run into a thread length longer than you bore behind the die.
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.
Nice job Quinn.👍👍👍
my next project, many thanks.
That opening pun just earned you a subscriber.
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!
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.
I've been waiting for you to make one of these. Excellent video . Thanks
From one afficionado of dad jokes to another; I really enjoyed them, and didn't find them boring in the slightest!
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 😆
Fellow software engineer who finds solace in the mechanical world away from computers. I need to start turning steel with my Sherline lathe. I haven't really played around with 12L14 steel yet and this would be a great project for that. I have to confess I also have a Sherline mill that I put stepper motors on, but used double shafted ones so I could mount the hand cranks for manual operation. I find without some kind of control, I lose count of rotations.
Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
Nice no funky music. Great instructions with great tips!
This is something I have been meaning to make for ages.
I've made a few of them in my aprenticeship but with some minor changes. The holder it self is knurled and instead of normal screws i used fulls sunken grubscrews. The benefit of this changes is, i can use the lathepower to cut the tread and when the tread is deap enough i can just let it go.
And this things are used in production for small runs because it is faster than single point and better when you have ton of unsupportet material.
Super Voltron.. Awesome..
Pretty neat! ... Fun to watch, too!
Merch idea "I was taught by a blond"?
Love the video my set is to small for this lol
Great explanation!. Cheers, from New Zealand
Fantastic build. New subscriber and I love the build.
Fantastic tutorial. Cant wait to make myself one of these. Thank you for sharing.
Another excellent video, Quinn you always make it look easy and fun.
An it was “Boring” in any way what so ever.
😎🙏🙏
Another joyful class!
That brass tube was very clever
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....
Nice job and well done.
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. 😬
Great Idea, excellent video as always.Nice Job
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 :)
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!
Job well done, thanks for sharing.
13:55 I have cut drills down with an angle grinder and then reground several times because of this. Someday I should probably get some stub length drills.
Nice project and well done.
Great stuff thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great explanation and easy to follow instructions. 👍
Loved it Quinn
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 need one for my little pencil sharpener lathe just incase maybe i need to cut threads at some point
Love your channel! I watch a lot of RUclips makers, but you have the same sort of equipment that I have and that makes you a valuable resource. Of course I wish I had a huge shop with $100K worth of tools in it, but I spent my career in the military which means I will never have that kind of money. Despite that I make cool stuff and do it at a level of precision that is remarkable for a guy in the corner of his garage. I might have a couple ideas for you. My KBC dies are made in Poland and they are a match for any of the bigger more expensive names. YG-1 makes drill bits and taps that far exceed many that have famous names and big price tags. Suncoast tools out of Florida has fair prices and stunning service. Take care and thank you for the great videos.
Nice and clean 👌
Nice stuff, Quinn.
That intro pun was great, caught me off guard! I laughed an embarrassingly long time.
5 second in and I've already given a thumbs up.
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.
I like the drill chuck key hanging from a cord, and will implement that forthwith.
Stops you misplacing it, and in a shop with loads of machinist's, pocketing, and having to shout out who used the drill last.
Hide it before the OSHA folks show up! It’s low hanging fruit for them!
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
Ok the boring joke was (meant to be) a bit cringe but who gave a thumbs down, this is always one of my highlights of my weekend (and yes therefore week).
Thanks for another great video Quinn.
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.
Always fun to see on Chinese sites "barre ennuyeuse" as the French translation of "boring bar". Nice video as always!
Quinn, Awesome video, great content, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
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 🤗🇬🇧
