I loved the American comment on speaking English.
Stefan speaks English better than half of the people now blighting England and Stefan's understanding and implementation of English humour is clever & perfect.
Very nicely done! I found the background photo collages interesting, so you should be happy about doing that. Also, thanks for being so open and honest about so much of your life!
After my plunge into the alternate reality of machining. I became aware of just how deep this rabbit hole goes, basically as far as I want to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. Your videos have been informative and entertaining. The skills and knowledge you and other creators of this genre share are beacons I strive to reach and possibly "maybe" one day surpass. Thanks for sharing this type of content. Albert Einstein said “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” A quote I remember every day. The Tx is for Texas. Thanks for Sharing, have a great day !
Thank you for all the information. I enjoy listening to your shop talk. I have never been a machinist but I have been around machinists all my working life. Now at 81 I just enjoy listening to very knowledgeable people like you.
Looks like you're approaching a good work/life balance👍 You must have skipped a couple of trips to the cinema to record and edit this (which turned out to be "feature length" !)- the end product was more entertaining for me than the last movie I watched, so double thanks👍👍
When you do something day in day out it becomes somewhat mundane to you but to others it is very interesting and educational. The Q & A allows people to get some of their problems or issues addressed but also allows us to get to know you better. I, like many others, learn so much from watching your videos whether it's technical or the work process in general. Excellent video, thank you.
Danke Stefan, das du dir die Zeit genommen hast soviel an Information zusammenzustellen. Da waren ne Menge an wertvollen Tipps und Erfahrungen dabei.
Thank you for taking the time to make all of your videos. I've learned a lot from them, and hope to continue to do so in the future.
Thanks for taking your time to let us see deeper into your life. And a bit of how you go about problem solving. It was very nice. I found it very pleasant.
I can't believe nobody asked the most important question: which are you favorite beers?
Off all things: Guinness 🤣
@@StefanGotteswinter traitor!
Said the bavarian ;)
@@kiljanammann9300 well Australian, but Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier is my favourite.
@@HM-Projects Rootbeer ftw ! :D
Thanks Stefan 👍
You certainly lead a busy life… and ‘we’ are the beneficiaries of a LOT of those hours 👏
There are only a few ‘makers’ that really stand out, and command an ‘obsessive’ following…. and you are right up there at the top of that short list.
Again, thanks for all that you do.
Regards,
Robert
With so many mundane would be youtube stars and "social influencers" hoping to cash in on the buzzword self aggrandizing title "Maker" , it has to me become a pejorative term. I hate to see that image stuck on Stefan.
Thanks for answering my question Stefan, very in depth answer its much appreciated. Thankyou for the years of hard work and inspiration!
Every time I hear something like "The hobby version doesn't support rapids anymore", I have a visceral reaction to Autodesk. That sort of underhanded garbage is why I cannot bring myself to buy or use it. They have killed so many other good softwares, and lied to us about features not going away.
Thank you for one more data point!
Nice AMA thanks for taking the time. I got inspired by all this precision talk and spent some time to indicate my tailstock properly. TIR 0.03mm with an end mill shank in a Vertex drill chuck. Good enough for my needs.
That was great. But extra points for honorable mention of Jagged Aliance 2.
Thank you for the answer to my question and all the others. I'm only about a quarter of the way through and it's been an adventure already!
I’ve been watching you for years, thanks for endless entertainment! Cheers from Hawaii 🍻🤙🏻
I like the background pictures!
Thank you for doing this! Your videos are always interesting and informative. :)
Thanks for the pictures, too. Inspiring!
I really enjoy watching your videos.Thanks for sharing your path with us.
Cool to learn you're getting into climbing. I've been a climber since the early 90's and a full-time instructor/route setter since 2012. Gotta get into rope climbing though... it's the best! Keep up the good work.
Climb is super fun. My introduction to climbing was when someone gave me their tower climbing harness (they changed jobs). I ended up fabricating a set of spurs and got into tree climbing for limbing and felling around the property. I've never tried climbing up a rock face or anything like that. I've seen videos of it and it looks like a ton of fun.
I am a simple man, I see a Stefan Gotteswinter video; I smash the like button.
"Ask me anything" - very keen approach to interact with your viewers. Cool set-up! Love your work and sharing of skills & techniques. Valid question in the vid if you studied your profession because of your impressive skillset and straight- forwardness and open mindset. Hoping to see much more & all the best for your Tube channel! M
That episode was most interesting. Thank you for the input I really appreciate it. I always like the precision and ease that you work with. I am an amateur hobby machinist and have learned a lot from watching. Keep up the good work.
This was fun and the mix of you in front of the camera and the slideshows were good.
Thank you Stefan, great video, excellent content as always. Look forward to your next video 🙂
Enjoyed this video... It helps me to understand how other people who have similar hobbies/work, THINK.... I feel as if L "know" you a little better now.... You inspire me to do quality machining....! Keep up the good work.
Love it. That's it! Thanks Stefan
I watched all the way through . Great insights there and It was good to see the Human side of you . love your work and thankyou . Cheers Ade.
Thank you Stefan
Very very interesting, enjoyed it all. Thanks for your great videos. All the best from Panama.
Glad to hear you work for Siemens. I worked my whole life for one large company on Siemens Electromechanical and Siemens Digital equipment. The Siemens equipment just had the most logical engineering to me compared to Brittish, French and USA, of which French was the most unlogical but it worked.
In this video your talk was a great pleasure, well done for just talk.
Thank you very much, Sefan. That was all very interesting.
This has been very interesting, and even entertaining 😄 Thanks a lot Stefan
nice change, keep it coming, I get some good results in my life as a tool maker from your video's
I thought you did great Stephen. Wonderful insight and techniques.
This was a very useful info-sharing session Stefan 🖖
very good video stefan...thanks for your time
I'm stoked to learn that you're climbing! Such a good sport.
Love it! ripped all of my skin off of my right hand yesterday :D
The still images were never jarring or interrupting to the flow. You maintained excellent pacing of both visuals and voice over. A good cinemachining experience.
I weep as a Necrophagist fan but I still love your music taste! Love to get to know the man behind the expertise, thanks for doing the AMA.
Wonderful getting a peak your inner being Stefan. Love your aspirations and clarity in your vision.
That was very informative and interesting, thank you.👍🏴
Thanks for all that you have taught us over the years and the personal stuff. The Q & A are great.
Thank you!
Very enjoyable. Thanks.
No, Loved all the pictures. Recognized a lot of them, Thanks a lot
calculating gears for example a lathe:
made a program myself, works like this:
combine all available gears by brute force.
sort out all impossible combinations: coliding with some internal parts, if one gear has a number of teeth, another must at least that big and so on.
finaly sort all combinations by the overall gear ratio and take the gears of this combination.
some 100 lines of PL/SQL
So many views and so few likes? very surprised as I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for a better insight on how Stefan thinks and works and what makes you tick, I really watched till the end, if it was 4 hours long would still have watched every minute. Thank you.
That was very helpful. Thanks for sharing 👍👍😎👍👍
Welcome to the climbing club, it goes extremely well with the technical-minded of us. Not sure how far you are from the Frankenjura but you should get out there at some point, when you decide to do some outdoor climbing =)
Frankenjura is like a stonethrow away ;)
I havent touched real rock yet, far way to go for me.
I should have known it!
The Star Trek episodes You mentioned are among my favourites as well. So is Nightwish, especially the earlier band with now abandoned Tarja Turunen. I have visited their concerts during their early years - a lot of fun it was.
Then one more weird thing. Your brother, earlier TV/Radio repair mechanic, now days a database specialist.... Hmmm. I used to be a clerk in a electronics shop when I was a "child". I worked my las 20 or so yearsbefore retiring as a datawarehouse specialist. Some of that for kFw.
Thanks for this, lots of good info.
Thanks Stefan. Very interesting answers.
I just obtained an excellent book on tolerancing, both drawing and measuring. It covers situations e.g. like the shaft in a hole that you spoke about. Modern Engineering Tolerancing by Rowland Hill/Cecil Jenen. the book is intended for both drafting and engineering students/practitioners.
I also have a pair of "shop Crocs" and they work well, but I find that metal chips embed themselves easily in the soles and I frequently have to spend time with a pair of needle nosed pliers to pull them out so I don't "crunch" around the shop as much.
Thanks for all the great content, Stefan! On a small side note, I use onshape a lot privately, and as it works out of a browser it should work equally well for linux.
Stefan
that was a nice change to your normal output a glimpse behind the screens so to speak well done . just a point ref. the question about quick reverse on your lath with a braking resistor on the VFD , maybe a disclaimer for the few of us that use a screw on chuck , stopping the motor that fast will spin off the chuck ( my lathe has a lock of sorts but would not trust it ) I do use a VFD but I get the required reversal with a dog clutch in the feed screw chain match like the Hardinge used it also gives the option to use stops ( it a design fro G Meek Esq)
Ouff. Good hint, a free rolling chuck on the floor is no fun.
Van Canto is awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. Siemens 👍
Would super love some more on how you have organized your shop!
Hey, thanks for pronouncing my last name correctly! You'd be amazed how often people over complicate it...
I usually spray WD40 on parts that are going out the door. I've had an issue previously with parts showing up to the customer with rust spots. Hence the question. Thank you for answering my question.
😂 can’t wait for part two 😂
Very interesting Stefan.
Great content thank you sir.. 🖖
I liked our "you have to learn this from experience" in the answer on order of operations (and dimensions). I have similar problems with explaining how you learn to do certain things in my job... It's like "no, there's no book explaining this, you have to learn from being there and doing it"
Saying that, it felt like a very unsatisfactory answer :D
thank you,
Merci pour tous
FYI: Jokish Cutting Fluid is sold in the US by Intercon in either the 8.45 fl oz bottle @ $13.57 or the convenient 55 gallon drum @ $2,870.73.
Good to know for our US friends :)
They didn't list alpha 93 so I emailed them and asked if one of the options they sold was the equivalent. Their S 91 is the equivalent to alpha 93. 8.45 fl oz for $9.13. And then twice that for shipping....
I was surprised about Fluid Film. I expected the lanolin to smell like wet sheep too, but the aerosol FF smells almost like artificial apple candy flavoring tastes. I think it's the combination of the lanolin smell and the tang from the calcium sulfonate (odor of gear oil). If I lean into that illusion, I actually kind of like it.
Thanks for the great content Stefan, looking forward to the next AMA. Keep up the good work
Danke für die Antwort! 👍😎
Thanks.
The Onset is a pretty awesome lesser known German metal band. I've been listening to them for a few years now.
Thanks so mutch for this interesting video!
Also the background pictures are highly interesting.
See you @ 20 Jahre CNCEcke meeting 😄
Gonna be there!

One minor correction? with linuxcnc - the mesa hardware moves the high speed realtime stuff to the external hardware (pwm, step generation and such). Linuxcnc still runs a realtime thread within the computer - because it is still the motion controller and communicates in realtime to the external mesa hardware.
Thank you for fixing that mistake of mien :)
Greetings and much respect from a low-budget FreeCad/LinuxCNC/Mesa user :)
agree- I pay f360 despite being mostly hobby use. Well worth the money.
Re: machining order
It is sometimes helpful to imagine the part (or have model) and work backwards , in your mind, through the operations, (picking a start with experience) while asking 'how do i hold this?'
Yes! Haha. Sometimes I also 3d print the part to have *something* in my hands, instead of just a drawing and a 3d model. Helps often to visulize complicated shapes.
Verry much enjoyed this Stefan. Pretty cool to get a better idea of who the guy behind the machine is, lol.
Stefan, I'm so pleased to hear that you are a fan of the real, original, Star Trek. I watched it first on a VHF TV, 425 lines, black and white (of course) not colour. As far as I'm concerned, THAT was Star Trek and I've avoided everything that came afterwards out of a weird sense of loyalty to the original version. I was delighted to find that one can now watch it in colour (!) in a remastered higher-definition format (425 lines was a bit grainy, although we didn't know it at the time) and it remains amazing. People grumble that the rocks are obviously polystyrene; the special effects are crude and so-on and so-forth. They miss the point about theatre: one suspends disbelief. It's the story and the way in which it is told that matters. It was so sad to hear of Nichelle Nichols' passing - she was my heart-throb when I was nine.... Why have I never sent you such a long message about machining? Because I'm a complete amateur and I have very little to say other than "Oh, thank you" . But Star Trek, real, proper, James T Kirk and Spock Star Trek? That's part of my formative years. I could blether about it 'til the cows come home. Live long, and prosper.
Außerdem freut es mich sehr, Metal aCapella gehört zu haben. Ich werde ihnen zuhören, wenn ich das nächste Mal mit einem Land Rover Differential kämpfen muss!
Damn RUclips gave me no notifications.... Great video!
As a woodworker and lousy machinist, I recommend that you replace the hose from the cyclone to the festool vac with a smooth bore hose of maximum diameter. It really is worth quite a bit of extra CFM. The Smooth bore tapered festool hoses are also pretty nice for shop vac stuff because the taper makes it difficult for stringy chips like drill chips to get slurped up. They make a 36-40mm tapered hose for their bigger tools like the drywall sander.
Also, a $50 particle counter for shop air seems worth it. Do you have one?
Thank you! I will try to get a smooth hose (and a particle counter. Measuring things is always interesting).
If you like Rainbow 6 for the destruction, check out Red Faction: Guerilla. The (super old) Red Faction 1 kind of pioneered destructible terrain, but never really took full advantage of it as a game play mechanic. Guerrilla contains the pure enjoyment of driving dump trucks entirely through buildings.
OnShape for CAD in Linux! I use it professionally on a team of 10+ engineers and I don't ever want to go back to SW or ProE
liked it alot!
@Anton Kyrychenko: BricsCAD is not open-source but is professional tool and native on Linux (I use it since some years now). 14:40
It main down side is: it misses CAM capability (so if you want to convert your CAD to some tool-path in Iso/G-code for a CNC, you will need another tool).
From the "--- this came out a few Microns off, but we can live with that ..." person comes: "--- just superglue gage blocks to the vise and call it done ...".
I hope ToT does not hear you say that!
I was doing that forever ;)
Thats how I got so quick when doing prototypes at work.
thanks so much for your last 2 longform videos. a pleasure to watch and so kind to share your experiences... but can you share your music playlist perhaps on spotify? it would be so nice to hear more european influences in music my friend. especially as the weather changes to fall winter. it would feel so lovely to have that connection
oh btw, the other guy complementing you on your english... i am uk person and i can confirm that the quality and precision in choice of words is far better than an any english person. especially in the technicial term you are actually teaching me so much clearer words to say what is being meant. please do not come here! because you will pick up far too many bad habits. the german version of english... it is more useful here than a queens english. for all this machining and other technical fields. it really is a good 2nd eduaction for me... actually in retrospect a bit sad i missed out those internship at siemens. very ironically i could have gone but did not want to feel out of place. having never learned german at school. and not so good with other languages myself. it all seemed too much at once. too overwhelming
30:00 the 3 in the UPS-3 looks like 3 -IN -1, the oil.
That we both where Star Trek fans i already knew...but no fan of Captain Picard ..ono.
He's for me the most realistic representation of a very experencied captain...imo.
Also find it so cool so many things we now use or being used in space ( cell Phone, warp drive , photondrive thrusters) .
That weren't invented yet during the show , are invented or proven to be theoretical possible...completly blows my nerdy mind alot !

Oh! I am an absolute fan of Jean L. Picard - In Next generation and the movies. But not in the series Picard, thats not doing it for me.
@@StefanGotteswinter ah oke budy , then i mis understood that part ..very cool .
Well done budy

Star Trek TOS Balance of Terror. Just watched one of the inspirations for it the other night. The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens as the principles.
Yes! The whole setup of balance of terror is very nautical. It feeeeels like a standoff between two marine vessels.
@@StefanGotteswinter
TOS also has episodes that amongst the worst television I've ever seen. And I saw them when they were new. The William Shattner school of overacting at its finest.
Hey Stefan, thanks for answering my question on gaming and going into detail on it.
If you'd ever need a portal2 partner in science, it would sure be fun to puzzle through some brain teasers with you.
Cheers, Michael
I always find these videos interesting as well. You're an interesting person! Hope you are well, sir. - TZ
Picking up slangs and accents watching other RUclipsrs is quite interesting. Ever watch AvE ?
Freecad has really come around. It has only taken me 10 years to be proficient in it.
I am sure it will become better and better.
Kicad has come a long way too...maybe there is hope :)
Suggestion, you have the equipment, build yourself a gasifirer for a small auto to use for local trips about your Stadt. Undermine the Russian oil shackle on Germany. So it is a little bigger than your thumb.:)
Regarding the whole windows linux thing , I am really impressed with windows WSL. I have a full Kali desktop running alongside windows and it is pretty seamless,. I can open windows apps "in linux" and vice versa, seamlessly. It might not be what you want but I really like it.
stephan have you heard of homge rotary table the one i just bought, has been stored unused for 25 years looks identical to vertex cheers john
