I try to make a montly video in the future and this is the first one in this series. This one contains some machining, case hardening and an unusual v-block.
Yes your English is superior to many native born americans and your communication skills are top shelf.You are obviously a hard worker at all you undertake and hope you have many years to contribute to the engineering community.as you hone your skills
Hello from deep down SOUTH AFRICA, STEFAN Like we said before - we only recently came across Your Videos. Have been watching all them Yanks, together with some Canadians, with those complicating Fractions and everything to the "THOU" of an Inch which was a bit antiquated, if not confounding, in comparison to the easier and simpler METRIC standard usage from You. I think we in SA converted over some FIFTY YEARS ago and when we got into hobby custom Knifemaking we had to go "Backwards" to Imperial again for our Tooling - Taps, Dies, Screws etc., 'cos most Suppliers were from the States and the internet had taken over Borders and Business. Besides, it was obvious, the Yanks had dominated the Internet and we speaking the same language, had easy access. Be that all as it may, You are a ray of sunshine from Germany whose talents we can only appreciate and Thank most appreciatively, for sharing Your tremendous expertise with us novices wanting to tackle similar projects. Like the Mexicans would say " MUCHAS GRACIAS" and in Your mother-tongue DANKIE-SCHEIN .........we hope !!! Keep up the good work aRM
Love the first project. What do you use for case hardening compound anyway? It doesn't look yellow enough to be potassium ferrocyanide? Small tip from an old Chemistry teacher though: Try to make a habit of not using any chemicals straight from the storage container. You'll only contaminate the whole lot. Better to fill a smaller container with a smaller amount as needed, then close up the storage bin and put it back on the shelf. You can even keep the excess of contaminated product in another container, for applications where maximum purity isn't an issue. (Don't forget to label it.) That way, your main supply remains clean for when you need it.
I'm glad I found your channel, you are currently my favorite RUclips machinist. Your attention to detail is amazing. I too have a screwless vice for my small mill and I was hoping you could show your vice stop. I would like to make one like that for my vice. How about showing more of that work of art called the scissor sine bar?
Hi Stefan, I am a supporter of Abom and Oxtool too, that I consider two of my teachers. But let me say that I like your projects too and hope you will go on this way. Complements from Italy.
Chris Stephens Wow, thats a compliment! English obviously not my first language I started with school english which is not very technical, then I went on to read a lot of english books and forums on the internet and I watch a lot of english videos on RUclips :)

Tramming the vice. So simple when you are shown properly .
Thanks.

Good job, thanks for the vice tramming tips!

Thank you :)
I am a big fan of those two also and was thinking that I might do something in that line too.
Nice video. Could you explane in your next shop talk how you align the top slide of your lathe?
"Are these some carbide endmills?"
"No, they are custom cutters, I just need to break & regrind them."
There is a square variant of the round vise you show known as a Rike vise.
Please forgive such a late question. How did you de-burr the collets after splitting with the slitting saw - particularly inside the slot?
What size hole did you ream on the split bushing? Thanks
Your command of technical English is to be commended, where did you learn it?

I heard about you from steve summers.
