Gday Everyone, the draw will be done on Sunday 6th Dec, just over a week away so please don't forget to enter if you have already done so in the past subscriber draws, Cheers Matty
@@MattysWorkshop I used the same tool to cut dovetail slots on my tool holders (a la Harold Hall do not own that dovetail cutter) easy peasy just like Matty did!
I made one of these a while back but it is just a plain bar with no fancy bits on it. Now I've watched this I'll make another (when the weather gets a bit warmer) and tart it up more. Just an idea but any bits of stock in steel, brass, acrylic etc would make a great prize for a draw. It doesn't have to be big pieces, but it would be great to have a bit of stock on the shelf to save buying a few feet of the stuff. Glyn. England.
Hi Matty, Congratulations on reaching the 1,500 subscribers milestone... with your skills you should make a prize for the draw, I am sure your viewers would like to own something you have made. Take care Paul,,
Congratulations on getting to 1500! That center finder came out great. Your lathe is obviously working well to cope with the wide radius tool in stainless. Very nice there too. I am pretty sure my name is still in the hat from previous draws. Cheers, Craig
Good to see the subscribers count going up quickly.I like honest approach without loud rockstar music.It all makes beginners like me progressing with bit more confidence.Keep up the instructive video,s...envious on your summer weather...even in Southern Europe it is not that warm any more Robert
Thanks Robert, I don’t change for the camera, the way you see me make something is just the way it is, I like to show mistakes so others don’t make the same, I prod them do things the correct way most times but I get the end results, I really appreciate the feedback and if you can see something I can better please let me know, cheers Matty
G'day Matty nice bit of work that your right looks better in ss, your lathe has a nice note to it sounds good and it's pretty quite. I'm going to give this project a go soon as my lathe gets here, thanks for showing this and if I haven't mentioned it before thanks for the stickers kind regards John
Gday John, I really like the stainless one compared to the aluminium, being heavier really helps and the O-ring is a must I believe, I’d like to see yours when you get it made, cheers Matty
Hey Matty. Looks like the new lathe is working well for ya. Beautiful project. Everyone likes a little bling. Great job buddy. One more thing I will need to make. 😀. Thought I would let ya know about another channel I like to watch. His channel is called “The Shed Dweller”. He is working on a D-bit grinder also. Take care.
Gday Dale, I have to check that channel out, I’m going to need as much help as I can to finish the project off I think, thanks for letting me know mate, cheers Matty
Well done Matty, my kids got me one of these a few Christmas's back and I havenever looked back on that day, these work superbly to get the pop dead on the cross hair. So easy to make as well, this would be an excellent project for shop class anywhere. Congratulations on your growing subs, you deserve it, cheers!
Thanks, I’ve used mine a few times now and it’s amazing how accurate it is, this would certainly be a great high school tech class project and there cheap to make, cheers Matty
G'Day Matty, love the Center Finder and why not add a little bit personality to the things we make. Been with you pretty much from the word go and can't believe how fast you have grown, not only in subscribers but also in the complexity of the projects your knocking out and making it look easy. A real sign of growing confidence in your machining ability, great stuff!! Cam
Thanks very much Cam for the kind words , there has been some stressful times during some projects but I get there in the end, the only way to better your skills is to have a go and figure out the problem along the way, thanks for all the encouraging comments and sticking with me mate, cheers Matty
Good work, Matty, and congratulations on your 1500. One refinement you can try is to put a radius on the top end of the acrylic. It gives it a magnifyer - for those of us who need all the help we can get 😉
I was quite surprised how well that new lathe of yours handled stainless without chatter and whinging ... all without even using tailstock support - I was sure you'd need that. Congrats on the 1.5K subscribers as well, Matty - you're even more popular viewing than Waleed Aly (yeah, that was a bad thing to say, sorry)
Congrats on the 1.5k subs mate ! Nice work on the centre punch ! i was expecting that radius tool to chatter but i didn't look like it did. It has got me thinking of making an optical tool height gauge that slips into the chuck or tailstock .
Gday Ian, the radius tool worked better then I thought it was going to considering it was stainless, I was expecting it to chatter badly and there is no way I could even think about doing the same on the other lathe, this new lathe is quite rigid...
Thank you for sharing this project. This is a great tool to have in the tool box. Now out to the shed to see if I have some material. I know I will have to order some acrylic. Excellent Christmas gift idea. Thanks again.
Well done Matty. That’s a fantastic little project with heaps of skills. Congratulations on the 1500 subscribers too. You deserve every one of them if you ask me mate. You’re a genuine good natured bloke and this is easily identified in each one of your videos mate. Keep up the great work. Cheers the big fella from Melbourne 🍻👍
Hi Matty. Great job on the Optical Centre Assembly Looks good & it works .. lol . Keep up your Great Video's. My only problem is that I just finished making one, so you took my Thunder out of it ... lol
Sorry about taking the wind out of your sail Ted, you should have let me know you were making one and I would have held back mate, it goes to show great minds think alike...
I have made eight Optical Centre Punches so far, ( make good gifts) surprised you did not include a magnifier end, which is the whole basis of the unit gives you the increased accuracy
Nice build. I've wanted one of these for a while but have you seen the price of them .... On Ebay they're £55 plus... So an incentive for me to get on with one. Have you thought of instead of a rubber 'O' ring gluing a piece of thin rubber sheet to the bottom (inner tube ?) it would make for a flatter steadier platform and to renew dirt cheap. TTFN
Gday Lisa, the radius tool uses a 12mm button insert, I need to but more that have a chip breaker, hope this helps and appreciate you watching and commenting mate, Cheers
Gday Everyone, the draw will be done on Sunday 6th Dec, just over a week away so please don't forget to enter if you have already done so in the past subscriber draws, Cheers Matty
Lathe is unbelievably smooth!
Gday Tom, it certainly is very nice to use compared to the little lathe I have...
Congratulations on 1500 subscriber's Matty.
Useful tool.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, cheers
Very nice 👍 They aren’t cheap to buy.
That is a cool little tool, I like it! It was interesting to see how you put the cross hairs in, that is a great idea.
Thanks Everrett, there a really handy tool to have and easy to make...
@@MattysWorkshop I used the same tool to cut dovetail slots on my tool holders (a la Harold Hall do not own that dovetail cutter) easy peasy just like Matty did!
Thanks for Posting. It came out Great. I will definitely add that to my list of things to make.
Gday, this is a really handy tool and there easy to make, thanks for watching. Cheers
Nice little project Matty.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers
Enjoyed...nice build
Thanks very much Chuck, cheers
Sweet work Matty. The quick growth is well deserved. You make working with stainless look so easy. Sigh
Thanks uncle Bob, stainless can be a bugger to work with...
Thanks Matty. Great idea and great build.
Thanks very much Terry
Centre finder/punch looks good matty, congrats on 1500 subs. Regards Kevin
Thanks very much mate...
Cheers Matty, great little Tool.
Thanks Robbie
The optical center punch would make a nice Giveaway item. Nice build.
Thanks a great idea Steve, thanks for watching
Great Video -- I Love your new Lathe -- it's quite and smooth . Congratulations 1500 subscribers.
Thanks very much Jim,
Yet another great tool build, Matty! Congrats on the 1500 subs too 😀!

Cheers Alan, the channel is growing bigger then I ever thought it would that’s for sure, Matty
that looks awesome matty
Thanks Very much Emma
Congrats Matty! I am thrilled for you mate! That optical centre punch is very nice. I will be making one of those. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Yves, it’s a simple project to make and most of its freestyle machining, cheers Matty
Congratulations on 1500. Nice tool
Very nice work mate thanks for posting 👍

Awesome, the acrylic rod is cheap to buy, I made the rest out of materials I had laying around so it’s a really cheap tool to make and useful...
Interesting combination of metric and imperial. Dinki Di Aussie lingo.
Gday, I like to work in imperial but metric shows up every now and then, Thanks for watching and commenting, Cheers

Neat little project. You could probably make a batch and sell them on E-Bay.
Thanks Tom, That’s not a bad idea really, cheers Matty
@@MattysWorkshop Sent you an email. Did you get it?
@@hilltopmachineworks2131 it should be in your computer now mate

Oooooh Shiny 😊 This is definitely something to suit my skill level and would be very handy👍
Thx Matty and wel done on the growth mate 🍺
Thanks Bill, I’m sure you can knock one out easy, the only critical dimension is the bore, apart from that it’s straight turning...
I have made eight Optical Centre Punches so far, ( make good gifts) surprised you did not include a magnifier end, which is the whole basis of the unit gives you the increased accuracy
Gday, I found the acrylic rod does magnify quite well, I’ve had to make a few extras so far, people seem to like them when they visit, cheers
That’s awesome your channel is growing so fast! Congrats!!
Thanks very much Bill
Looks good matty, congrats on 1500 subs, that is quite an achievement to say the least, and didnt take long at all, lol.
Thanks Chirpy, it has come around fast and I never thought the channel would grow this big...

Matty, great video and build. I know this video is old but do you remember what size radius tool you used?
Gday Lisa, the radius tool uses a 12mm button insert, I need to but more that have a chip breaker, hope this helps and appreciate you watching and commenting mate, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Thanks Matty! Just what I needed! 👍🏻
I sent you a e-mail -- it must be in your junk box ??
And one back to you mate
