"I thought I was wrong once. As it turns out, I was mistaken" and "son, it isn't bragging if you can do it"...words from my father's mouth as we worked in the shop when I was a boy. I had no choice but to be a meticulous perfectionist. I see that same spirit in you, Joe...and I think that's why I love this content so much. New camera looks great! Autofocus gremlins seem to have not taken notice of it yet.
Thanks for the compliment. Thats one of my favorite sayings. Someone always raises an eyebrow when I say it in jest. Usually because I say it with a straight face initially. :)
I am retired now but I was a machinist in a special design/rebuild/job shop. I did all kinds of things but I used to refer to myself as " a gadget meister ". OK ..... he does some things that I would differently but watching this is like what it must have been like when somebody else watched me. I did this type of thing for 51 years and it is a pleasure.
Camera shot at the lathe was very good, made the part look bigger than what it actually was, until you put it down on the assembly table. Saw your hand comparison to the part, the parts are small. Thanks for sharing Joe👍👍👍
A PM Lathe kit waiting on my shelf for years... An 85 year old retired Biology Instructor with a machine shop... A Great Teacher in the person of Joe Pi to guide me... I tell Ya, This is the Best of Times! Thank You, Joe I
Truly amazing Joe, your experience makes it look so, so easy. I enjoyed your steam engine model immensely and eagerly look forward to this series of videos. I think a square headed bolt instead of the allen would bring this over the top. You never cease to amaze.
I always love the camera work you do. This one is no exception. I don't know why anyone complains because I love being able to see things up close. Almost like being there looking over your shoulder (but from the other side :). Thanks for all the time you put into these videos. They are a joy to watch! And congrats on your well deserved recognition plaque!
I really like it when we can see your caliper reading as you measure...just sayin....camera angles are generally very good. Thanks for your inspiration! Great work!
You've really proven the point that you can do fine work on a big lathe. First time I've watched anyone doing such fine work, period, so I am duly impressed. Thanks for sharing.
Joe, double thumbs on the camera work. Makes one fill like they are wright in the shop looking on. Boy, these are tinny parts, and will be on board for the whole build. THX
Hi Joe; never really used to like your channel but I absolutely love it now! Took some time for this UK viewer to get used to this Texan but you really are a very skilled machinist with great ideas on tool holding & working. Keep up the excellent work Joe - I'm an avid follower and look forward to each new video. Big thumbs up!!
I can't believe I've never stumbled upon one of your videos before - this was fantastic! Looks like I've got a whole bunch more videos to binge tonight..
Hey Joe... we just sat here staring at this one... my god, that screw had threads smaller than the ridges in a fingerprint! Watching you drill and tap the top was a terrifying and thrilling moment. Also: kudos for leaving in your mistake... I love it when creators do that so that we can learn from your mistakes. Can’t wait for the next one! Also: might you use the steam engine to power this for some nano-lathing at the end? 😏
15 minutes in and I was just thinking how good the camera work was and you mentioned using a different method to film process, gets a big thumbs up from me Joe.
Really nice job Joe! And as for that calculator that lied to you, I have the same problem in the wood shop. When the tape lies to me I through it away and get a new one, I'm on tape number 317. The clock shop skills are working for you on this one.
It is great that you enjoy making these micro parts. You know the part is tiny when the tweezers look like plyers. Thank you very, very much; these videos are a learning experience on how to approach machining difficulties.
Excellent Joe. Well videoed - very clear images. Well thought out moves. Well executed. This is going to be a beautiful piece. You will have to actually turn something on this lathe when it's finished. Thanks, much appreciated and a welcome break from "reality"!
Joe, I wanted to add to the eleventy-four-hundred viewers who gave you two thumbs up for the new camera work!! AND to say THANKS for this undertaking!! It’s fascinating...
Loved watching you make the steam engine. I was sad when you finished it. Now I get to watch you all over again giving more advise and tips. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more of the build.
Joe Pie: "I'm out!". Mart: I'm in!. That was great, Joe. It's impressive that you are doing this on full size machines. I'm no modelmaker but love using my lathe and milling machine to make or repair little parts for my projects. I always appreciate it when you share your tips. Thanks for sharing your experience. Mart in the UK.
Well attacked Joe. Fantastic result, looks great, not easy scaling down to this size, more from just losing bits too easily. Looking forward to the next installment. Cheers, Jon
So glad you're building this little lathe. I've had one for 12 years now and didn't know where to start. Thanks to you I can now follow along. Thanks again. George
I’ve been looking forward to this series! I’ve just ordered the milling machine kit and plan on doing a build series on that, good luck my fellow creator!
👍 !! , gotta feeling this little project is going to take awhile 😉 . Looks like I’m going to get a lot of enjoyment out of your labor, and just wanted to let you know I really appreciate all your efforts.😊 !
Excellent ,cant wait. Looking forward to this video Joe. I want to start a machine shop and need a lathe. Looking for small project work and this lathe will be a great start!!!Hopefully soon thereafter the big bucks should be rolling in! Hope the new year is good for you .
I got my mill and lathe from an older guy. He told me when you can't see the parts you make anymore it's time to retire. Thanks a lot Joe P. for adding me to the retirement list! LOL
@@bradyoung6663 I'm already wearing coke bottle lenses! Just gotta face the music. When ya can't see no more, ya just can't see! Feeling my way around works for the wifey but not high speed steel rotating objects! LOL
With your steam engine you can make a tiny steam powered machine shop. Then you can get the wolf spiders to work the machines using scraps from your regular machines.
Hi Joe, congratulations on your Silver Play Button Award for attaining 100,000 subscribers. I will be along for the ride for a long time as I am building the P.M.Research engine lathe along with you and just finished the tool post and ready for the next installment. You said that you would start with the small parts first and I hope the parts get bigger soon as my eyeballs are coming out of their sockets with the parts so far. And yes the new camera angles and the focus are great on the small parts.
This tiny stuff reminds me about the optic mechanisms we built some 40 years ago for a satellite 😊 It takes incredible long time to make each of the pieces.
The shots are really good. On this small part it helps allot and improve the experience for us the viewers. Nice to see the auto focus is not jumping up and down any more :-) I like allot the steam engine you finish... look forward to this series also. Wonderfull job!
Here we go --- well Joe, this is an epic project... and so much small/mini parts work... which means some lengthy set-ups too. Heck of a nice start - enjoyed :) Keep a track on your time because I suspect the total time will be huge!
1: I do like the closer view of the smaller work. Crystal clear video. New cam, or new lens? 2: Nice work, as always. 3: For some odd reason, I really want to see a boring bar and holder made for this lathe, eventually. 4: Please tell me we are going to get to see you make some chips on this when it's finished. Thanks Joe, have a good'n.
Well you started off with what has to be the highest "pucker factor".... for the whole build.... The camera work and camera was perfect, no waiting for the camera to focus. Whatever you did was the right move. BTW the machine operator.... did a fine job also. Keep up the good work....!
OOfta, those are some tiny parts! This should be a great series to watch, I'll be looking for tips I can use in making model engines. Good camera set up on the lathe. Thanks for doing what you do!
“I guess that’s just about as real as it gets”, well Joe, don’t think anyone could have said that better. A great start to the new build mate, thoroughly enjoying your teaching. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but as my darling Glenda used to say so regularly while she was still with us, “Yeah, but there’s nothing an old dog likes better than a new trick!!”. Thanks for all the new tricks yore teaching this old Aussie mongrel mate, you are still and definitely helping me to get through her loss. A great start to hopefully a happier new year for us all as I know that I am only one of many, many people out there to have faced such tragedy last year. We Aussies are standing with you
It’s a good camera placement. It’s allowing up close almost macro distances while also giving a good shallow depth of field for a crisp image. So you’ve got you lighting right to keep the aperture small. I dealing with a those challenges in my the lathe recordings so bravo for getting it wording well.
Fascinating to watch Joe, miniature technique is a challenge, and oh yeah, I know about keeping the chip pile clear. The tool steel was a nice touch. Enjoyed very much, cheers!
Picture quality is a step change up from the steam engine - never once did your new setup let its focus wander, and the colours are better too. Oh, ok. Colors. :) Looking forward to the rest of the series, thanks for letting us follow along.
Greetings from Barcelona Spain (Europe). I've been following your videos for a long time and I have to say they're very instructive for new typists. I am very interested to see how this new 1/12 SCALE WORKING MODEL 1890s ENGINE LATHE project is manufactured. It will certainly be one of my projects as well. Thank you for the knowledge and forgive my horrible English. ;)
Hey Joe, camera looks good. Just glad you can see well enough to see those parts. I used to have super powers like that too...in high school...40 years ago.
I like this camera set up. Less auto focus, auto out-of-focus, auto back-in-focus. I didn't need to take Dramamine before watching!
Joe I like this camera or setup a lot more than the old one. This one is holding focus rather than wandering out of focus a lot.
When this is done,I want to see you make an even smaller lathe using this one :P
That would be a feat in itself for sure.
And so on, ad-infinitum.... Is this kit available again?
The incredible shrinking man uses lathe to make spider defenses :)

You got me beat. I am 66 and bought one of these in 2007 I haven't started yet.
The camera positioning is a definite improvement for these small parts. Amazing work!
Thanks. Sometimes, the line of sight is the best camera angle. That makes it tough.
Truly amazing Joe, your experience makes it look so, so easy. I enjoyed your steam engine model immensely and eagerly look forward to this series of videos. I think a square headed bolt instead of the allen would bring this over the top.
You never cease to amaze.
Nice job Joe. Glad you mentioned the camera, video was very clear and there wasn't any focus problems on the close-ups. Thanks
If you watch all the commercials you could be here a week or more.
@@roysmith3198 Why are you still here Roy ? I thought you were leaving.
I really appreciate that you also mention the metric measurements, really helps me visualize how small this is
What a awesome cute toolpost, what would be a cherry on the cake, make a toolpost bold with a square head and a collar.
Oh, dang...my thought exactly!
And for camera work, the Academy Award goes to , Joe Pie.
Camera set up was spot-on. Everything super clear.
GREAT! More Joe Pie videos! My education will continue. But I know I will never make these parts. I have to be able to see parts to make them.
Afterwork Coffe... and a new Video from Joe..... that makes my day.....! 😊
Mine too.
I'm going to enjoy this series SOOOOO much! A lot of the machining I do is on very small parts, so I'm going to learn a lot watching you.
Camera setup is great. No missing detail.
I always love the camera work you do. This one is no exception. I don't know why anyone complains because I love being able to see things up close. Almost like being there looking over your shoulder (but from the other side :). Thanks for all the time you put into these videos. They are a joy to watch!

Thank you very much!
The contrast, seeing the tool post stem in the collect of a full size Lathe is quite amazing.
Camera setup and filming is good...Clickspring would be proud.
The new camera is so much better that the other one, the build so for is great i cant wait to see the rest of the build.
Joe, double thumbs on the camera work. Makes one fill like they are wright in the shop looking on. Boy, these are tinny parts, and will be on board for the whole build. THX

I hope you like the material enough to earn a new subscriber. Enjoy.
@@joepie221 Most definitely! Sharing with a few buddies, too!
You can tell you are a professional because you make it look too easy, great video Joe.
Thank you for that. Only 100.000 hours preparing for this video.

Nothing better than Joe Pi in the morning with my morning Joe (but no pie)! Love it. Use this lathe to make an even smaller one when you’re done!

I may ask Abom to dial in my 4 jaw chuck.
That’s one I would like to see 😂😂.
Beautiful job!!! Looking forward to seeing the whole project completed - then watching you make a 1/18 scale engine with your engine lathe! :)
Joe, I wanted to add to the eleventy-four-hundred viewers who gave you two thumbs up for the new camera work!!
AND to say THANKS for this undertaking!! It’s fascinating...
I'm so glad you're planning on turning something on the mini lathe when you're done!
thank-you the camera was a good choice, no focus lag, real good view's
Loved watching you make the steam engine. I was sad when you finished it. Now I get to watch you all over again giving more advise and tips. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more of the build.
Most excellent, including the camera work!
First time I have watched your channel. Enjoyed it very much. Especially like your teaching style, easy to listen to and very informative, thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Camera is working great.
Looks like a good project for Brian Bloc and his 40" Monarch lathe.

And good luck to you, Sir. I'll be checking out your content soon.
Nice lantern toolpost, off to a flying start, new camera angle is very clear, thanks
The new camera setup looks great! Focus is excellent through the whole video.
The new camera setup is great! This whole project is gonna be a ton of fun...or maybe, grams of fun..

Just get more powerful magnifiers. I've used an old High School type microscope to check a nose radius on a HSS tool before. Found it at a yard sale.

And thus began the rise of the wolf spider to dominate the world.
Oh man, can't wait for the miniature Aloris upgrade. Those dovetail tool holders and the knurling tool are going to be epic...lol
I'll commit to the QCTP, but the knurling tool may have to wait.
Thanks for the start of an exciting new series!!
Once’s again, turned out beautiful such a small part thanks for Sharing.
Awesome start!
I also like the camera and formatting. The closeups are very clear, considering how small the parts are.
Simply awesome. Joe P. you are a true craftsman and an excellent teacher to boot. The new camera set up gets a big tick also. 👍👍👍👍👍
Joe, I’m looking forward to this build series. I hope you see it through. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Excellent! Checked my phone every hour to see when you posted this video.
Worth the wait.
I think you should be called the Answer Grape.

Joe, again I'm amazed! Thank you 😁
Camera set up is great thanks Joe.
Thanks Joe for more tips and tricks. This will be amazing when finished. Enjoy watching it come together.
My mind is blown at how excellent and precise this is at such a small size! Keep up the amazing work!
The new camera angles are working great for me!
All I can say is, WOW. Your a very talented machinist. I learn something every time I watch one of your vids. Love them.
Glad you like them! Knowing they have more to offer than just entertainment is very rewarding feedback. Thanks.
The shots with the new camera setup are great.
Thanks. I hope it just gets better from here. New year, new gear.
This tiny stuff reminds me about the optic mechanisms we built some 40 years ago for a satellite 😊
It takes incredible long time to make each of the pieces.
That was rivetting! I would love to have a rummage through your tool drawers. You have a tool for everything!
The shots are really good. On this small part it helps allot and improve the experience for us the viewers. Nice to see the auto focus is not jumping up and down any more :-)
I like allot the steam engine you finish... look forward to this series also. Wonderfull job!

Looking forward to the rest of the project, a lot to learn here.

Great to see a new miniature project Joe. Can't wait for the next one!

Just gorgeous! Never thought I would say this about a machinist, but with such small parts and the resulting closeups, may need a manicure....
Really like the new camera set up
Wow, those are some small parts. This will be a nice series. Thanks for sharing.
WOW. Amazing how small of a part you can make on such a big machine. BTW the new camera work is great.
I’m so glad you’re doing another model Joe. Thanks for the great content. Can’t wait for the next video.
These videos seem to generate their own lessons. Interesting how that happens. I like it.
Loved the steam engine kit build, looking forward to this build
Absolutely lovely work Joe, thanks for sharing and please keep them coming
Big love to you and yours Ralfy
Fascinating to watch Joe, miniature technique is a challenge, and oh yeah, I know about keeping the chip pile clear. The tool steel was a nice touch. Enjoyed very much, cheers!
i like the camera setup
Excellent camera/set up, brilliant machining Joe.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't realize the elevated difficulty level of filming something so small. I'm glad the camera did the work.
Picture quality is a step change up from the steam engine - never once did your new setup let its focus wander, and the colours are better too. Oh, ok. Colors. :) Looking forward to the rest of the series, thanks for letting us follow along.
Greetings from Barcelona Spain (Europe). I've been following your videos for a long time and I have to say they're very instructive for new typists.
