Sorry everyone, I misspoke on the metric reamer pre-drill size. No need to keep commenting about it. You should always look up things like that anyway and not trust random RUclipsrs.
People always love to jump on any slip up 😒
I have personally found your content fantastic, cheers from Australia 🍻
@@seanb250 100% agreed on both statements, and also greetings from Australia. 😀
Yes they do hello there from England 🏴
It happens. Please put the correction here, so we don’t have to go through searching for snarky comments 😂
Good morning Quinn and sprocket. Hope you are having a good day
Every time you say "Only with consent" I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.
I love your sense of humor. I have learned a heck of a lot from your mistakes, and have gotten brave enough to make some of my own.
Yay new Blondihacks! Always love this day of the week.
Cool project, Quinn. I'll be eager to see the next steps.
"Easy peasy, lemon squeezey, but only with consent." I love it . I will be using it (but only with consent of course).
D. Gray Drafting and Design has indeed nice tool building kits and the plans are very clear.
Quinn ( no# 1 You Tube Machinist ) , little tip for you. If you pre heat the parts with a map gas torch it drives the moisture and oil off the part and gives you better penetration with fewer tacks . to take them apart put the stack in your bench vice . and just give it a shot with your custom made hammer.. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos...
Another great video Quinn. And great job on the kit. Looking forward to next week.
I just started this same tool!
So far liking the kit, well done
It does look like a really good kit. Do you ever make changes to kits off the back of videos like this? For example, Quinn's decision to reference off a hole rather than the end of the part seems like a smart idea, is this the kind of thing that might make it into your drawings?
@@cooperised All customer/end-user feedback is certainly taken into consideration.
Finally! Someone in the RUclips hobby machine sphere touches on % of snazification levels of effort. An important metric indeed! As the saying goes... Chrome doesn't get you home, but is does sell motorcycles. Cheers from huge fan in Alabama.
I feel like an animal; I need some chamfers!
Loved this and eagerly awaiting the next episode!
One of the best descriptions of a Software Engineer I've heard in a long time!
Very cool. I put this in my cart last night, and then slept on it. And now this!! Thank you.
I love Saturdays. What a delightful partial build. I can't wait to see it done, especially as I happen to love knurls myself and want a knurler in my future shop.
I'm getting closer :)
How opportune. I was just using my cheap Chinese scissor knurler this afternoon and cursing it. I ordered the kit.
A trick I learned when separating tack welded parts after grinding and the penetration got a little deep, put one in the vice flush with the top of the vice jaws, then either use a hammer and punch or a wrench to twist the other part free of the mate.
Just got my new mini mill and lathe. Love your videos. You’re an ace.
That looks like a fantastic kit. Great job looks awesome Quinn thanks for sharing.
Yay! New vid from my favourite Random RUclipsr. Twenty minutes of chillin' with a mug of Damn Fine Coffee instead of doing household chores and finishing the video I'm supposed to be editing. Now it's time to take the Chihuahuas for a walk. Procrastination 'R' Us.
Re:stubby reamers, I have realrstate problems too. I found that the shanks were soft enough that my bandsaw could cut them without issue, similar to drill bits. Only the flute end is hard
Hi Quinn 😊 , nice job so far, it's going to be alot better looking knurler that's for sure, I look forward to seeing it finished, and doing its job, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Thanks for the exposition Quinn, helps a lot!
always great insight on how to reference features! fun project, very jealous
I get so stoked when I see a new post from you! great work as always
Great choice of a project. Thanks for an interesting video. I like to knurl things and so made a couple of knurlers but on the last one I put the arms on the wrong side while I was talking to the camera. I will put them right some day but it still knurls.
Exposition vs X Position at 3:10, 💯 💯 Exactly my kind of humor.
Another valuable and interesting video, thanks Quinn. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos.
I really like the ease of how you do your vids . Im a very beginner in machining and just have a lathe at this time I have been looking at milling machines though so hopefully I will find something in my budget.Great content .
I just received my order of some kits from Doug including the Machinist Clamps and Indexing Plates which you showed in earlier videos. The box was packed very well. The materials look good and as you said, the drawings are excellent. I am looking forward to making the kits.
I did think about the knurling kit but decided not today.
Dave.
I gotta get one of those deburring tools. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.👍
Last week's upload really wasn't my thing, but this week, back to the good stuff! I really love your channel.
LOL! "Reamers are like software engineers, very very fussy but ultimately lazy bums." Not heard that analogy before but can totally relate. 😆
Nice job 👍👍👍👍 for tack welded parts I save old razor blades you can lightly tap them in to separate them just enough for a thin screwdriver when doing this though 1 you don't have to whale on it and two you have to accurately come down on the back of the blade if not you will shatter it the blades are strong in line but weak side loaded
Yay!! it's Blondihacks time!!
Stubby reamers are extremely easy to find if you have a die grinder and a cut-off wheel :D
@@vaderdudenator1 Hard to remove from tailstock.
Great job so far Quinn, I do love your channel thank you.
Spite is such a good creative motivator.
Humor meter was pegged at 11 for this “exhibition“!
Love it! :-)
thx quinn, got my one from paulimot, works fine, but love to see you, doing it step by step...
At 11.20 your mention how you were doing lots wrong when drilling. I am a Metalwork Woodwork Electronics teacher here in Sydney Australia. Getting students to build a stationary steam engine needed a boiler that has stainless steel firebox. Each stainless steel piece needed 4×10 mm diameter holes. I eventually concluded one needs to predrill a smaller hole, ensure twist drill is absolutely sharp, correct cutting speed and lard as lubricant. Otherwise stainless steel is extremely difficult to drill.
Hatespiration, the newest addition to my lexicon. 😀
Thanks very much for sharing your experience ! Greetings from Belgium.
Literally what I've been doing this week - a Hemingway Basic Knurling kit
How do you find the Hemingway kit? How does it compare to this one? I'm in the UK so Hemingway is an easier source than D. Gray for me.
Thanks for the figures, both in imperial and metric!
"Reamers are like software engineers..."
HEY! I resemble that remark!
Fun stuff Quinn, but teh intarwebs demands moar Sprocket!
That should be a huge improvement on the "far east" version. By coincidence, I just made a start on the Hemmingway version.
Regards, Preso
Nice work; we like your tool building projects. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Yaaay, tool build is always exciting and easy to follow along at home. Thanks.
"Hatespiration?" I LIKE IT! ! ! ! And a key factor in some of my own tool making projects !
On holding the tackwelded stack of arms.... I heard the CRACK and listed to your explanation about the laser cut edges. It occurred to me that perhaps this would have been a good time to use strap clamps to vertically clamp the stack down to the table. And to provide clearance for through drilling and reaming to either lift the stack up a little with a piece of sacrificial aluminum or perhaps some square stock spacers?. As a side benefit it would have also given you some extra height for the other drilling and reaming operations. Your thoughts?
Already looking forward to Part 2....
Hey! I resemble that remark about Software Engineers! Lol
Great video , thanks for posting .
