Thanks for watching everyone! Despite my troubles (and lessons) this "simple" project was intended to give time for the next one. My biggest project to date. Literally! Keep an eye out for that on February 17th!
Your videos are great. If you spent a minute explaining what the problem is and how your tool solves it they would be perfect. Not everybody who watches is an experienced machinist.
Please never stop the design drawings, even for simple stuff. In the future, they will be just as important as the products themselves to your children or whomever comes after you.
When the box fills up, you should do another just-lots-of-side-projects video using as many of those pieces as you can, bonus points if they all become parts for one project
I had a project once where all I had to do was drill a variety of holes, some with counter-bores, into a piece of wood and then make a mirror image piece for the other side. After hours of confusion I ended up with two good parts and 3 scrapped parts. Some days it can be a real battle lol.
Once again thank you so much for including the whole build lifecycle. Seeing you encounter and overcome mistakes makes me feel so much better about my trails in the shop. Outstanding content as usual.
I found this channel a few weeks ago and i love it. the production quality of the videos, the learning processes, the side projects, the drafting of most of the projects, the attention to detail. . I am learning so much for when i finally get my own shop space and start tinkering. Thank you for such amazing videos.
Showing the mistakes, what you felt about noticing / not noticing problems, and the iterative approach to solving is so great. It makes the channel waay more approachable than only mentioning mistakes in the voiceover of machining the successful part. Your method shows how to learn, grow, and be comfortable creating and following your own feedback. What a breath of fresh air.
Wonderful tool, beautifully made. My grandpa was an engineer and tool and die maker. He said "Feel free to ignore the problem now. It won't ignore you later." I have often remembered this too late. My wife and I completely restored our 22 room 19th century abbey that would become our home. It took 15 years and in the process, a number of times I saw something that needed to be addressed, but I didn't have time, didn't want to bother, didn't think it mattered. Some of those things never got corrected and still irritate me. I'm too old to start correcting them now, so if they ever do get corrected it will be by someone else. Thanks much for this excellent video. In learning from your mistakes you are helping others avoid making them. That is a true gift.
Those are some great words to live by. I can imagine the stories you have of your renovation. I too have had many similar scenarios in my own home's renovation(s). (ongoing). I take care of as many issues as I can though. Thank you as always for your nice words and encouragement. Even since the beginning!
When I was a apprentice, I made one just like that. The only problem and always would roll off onto the floor. So the second one I made up all the hex stock and that stop it from rolling around. Then on the plunger, I put grooves quarter inch apart, so I could tell the depth of the tap. As always great project. I think you’re gonna need a bigger box.
Absolutely wonderful! The voice overs are very well recorded too. Makes the story telling aspect so much more immersive. You precision ambition makes my woodturning projects feel like kindergarten 😂
I chanced on your channel a week ago. I love the video's. I will never own or operate any of the machines. But your video's show the love you have for using them. The mistakes only show you are human and learning. Keep up the good work.
In case you're interested, a couple of years ago Keith Rucker did a video about lathe bed leveling and eliminating bed twist. Might help with your tailstock alignment problems. Great vids, keep them coming!
Thanks! I might have to watch that. I did a vid on leveling and aligning my own, but that doesn't necessarily mean I did it correctly. That was also about a year ago now
Your honesty about your mistakes makes your content soooo great: not pretending to be perfect on the one hand and raising awareness for possible traps to fall into on the other hand side! Thx a lot!!!
yeah some wood work to create a refined, precise and bigger one seems appropriate, considering the importance of this box ;-) (and when we are at it, a little renaming, because this box is much more about the learning process than the fails )
Great video, thanks for sharing! In our experience, drilling a long hole with a twist drill will always wander somewhat even if you set up your tailstock super carefully and use a brand new high-quality drill bit, so boring is a must. If you can't bore the whole length, it helps significantly if you just bore the first bit so the flutes of the drill bit are a nice fit to help guide the drill bit the rest of the way.
Yet another incredibly shot, narrated and produced video! And I'm eyeing that Box O' Shame because some of those pieces would be the perfect "found" parts for a lightsaber build ;)
In a pinch, I’ll use a spring impact marking punch as the tap follower. I do have a mounted tap wrench, but I almost always power tap. But then again I’m usually machining more forgiving materials; also I almost never use small taps or threads that have a tendency to have taps break more.
I spend way too much time watching machining videos. Both to be entertained and to learn something. As for my personal machining I've spent too much time "learning " from my mistakes. Stefan Gotteswinter, Joe Pie & That Lazy Machinist are great teachers of the craft. They all explain "WHY" not just repeating "old wives'" methods. Thank you for the high quality videos. 100 years ago, I made drawings for the professor's papers, to help pay my way. All done in India ink, mostly cartography. I really like your drawings, bring back memories.
As usual really fascinating. I don't know the first thing about what you are doing but the way you do it is superbe. I have seen all your videos and the way you comment your work is addictive. I look forward to the next episode of this trult amazin story. Marc from Belgium (excuse my French)
This might sound a little mean, but I am looking forward to the episode where you need to make a new "Box of Shame" to accommodate everything that cannot fit in the current one. Otherwise, I love your straight forward and honest videos. Too many other folks will only show all the perfect things they've done. But you are willing to let all of us learn with you. Thank you so much!
I inherited my fathers Moore and Wright tap wrench which he bought as an apprentice during the war, I hadn’t used it much before I took it to the Scotchbright debuting wheel and polished the sharp knurling and nicely turned ends smooth. So much kinder to the hands and more pleasant to use.
I haven’t even finished watching this yet, and I had to comment. Just got to the part where you mention the “Morse Taper”, and it reminded me of the grandfather I barely knew and inherited little because so was I when he passed. At this moment I am unsure of the dates, but he worked his way up from sweeping the floor in Morse Twist Drill and Machine Company to be the president of the company in the 60’s and possibly early 70’s. So now I’ve spent the last three hours looking up facts about tooling and the history of New Bedford and such (I’m not a machinist fyi). So side project 1 for tomorrow, is to talk to my 80 y/o father and get more information about a man I have scant memories of. But now back to finishing this video since I can’t sleep at this point until I do, three hours later than I planned on. I have few things from his time there, an index of drill bits, a tap set, and not much else. Much my father had was damaged in a flood, and I assume is gone. Keep making these videos, it is fantastic watching you make such fine things and also remain entertaining.
Another interesting educational experience. You are working on needing a larger box! But your humor is appreciated. You actually show boo boos instead of editing them out. Highly commendable. Thanks to Grandpa for his buying skills!
Just wanted to let you know, and I find that even older experienced machinists sometimes don't know this but, in commercial tap followers you can actually flip the 60 degree plunger upside down and on the back is a matching cup so that you can follow small diameter taps that only have the point without the use of a dimpled tap wrench. Something to think about.
It's a beautiful tool, excellently explained. I probably would have shrugged at the first mistake, though, and asked "How much difference will it make in the actual tapping of a hole? ANYTHING is a big improvement over free-handing it. Carry on."
Hey man, it's your friendly tool maker here again. Lots of drills are actually bent from the manufacturer and will cause the hole to walk off center when drilling in a lathe or any time the drill is stationary and the work is moving. Bent drills don't seem to be a problem on mills or any operators where the drill is spinning and the work is stationary. It's a total pain in the ass when I have to make step drills out of supplied drills from companies who don't care about their quality. It happens way more than you know... 😢
I have a feeling that machining is much like my blacksmithing in that by the time you can make all the tools you would need you are pretty much ready to take on work for real people. You have a skill that in many ways can be taught but taking it to the point that you do is more of a passion and you have to have that something extra for that. thankyou for sharing.
I go to work, machine things, then drive home and watch Brandon machine things(only with signifincatly more skill than me). Some might say it's sad, some - weird, but I personally love it. Haven't even finished the video and I can already tell it'll be a great one. Can't wait to see what you've got lined up next for us!
I've been working my way through your videos and the hand drafting brings me back to highschool. I graduated in 2003 and I'm guessing those classes didn't last much longer after that. I really enjoyed those classes
There is a brief shot of a tap follower in the most recent Clickspring video, which I recognized only because I learned from this video! Thanks for the edutainment :)
Well Brandon, four or five months ago RUclips recommend your first video. I clicked on it and when you started to talk I went like this "Oh gawd a yuppy machinist". Boy was I ever wrong. The way you explain things, the side projects, oh and "The Box of shame" no wonder you have 192K subscribers in less than 6 months. Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, 🇨🇦
To use one of the kindest things ever said to me "Another week of excellence I've come to expect from you." Not just the machining, but the presentation. Complacency bites us all eventually, and I really wish every engineer would watch your channel just to fully understand the cost of precision and the importance of designing for production. If I had any contacts left at MSOE, I'd tell every one of them about your videos.
Well that is very kind of you to say. Thank you. I'm an engineer coming from a machining background and I still learn something new every day that helps me in the design world. PS: my father in law went to MSOE in the 80's for EE.
@@InheritanceMachining It's quite the small world. Please give him my best; I have fond memories of the school and anyone who went there feels like a long lost cousin.
great video man, i got a little upset when you used the mill as a lathe but then i remembered that i have never even seen a lathe in person in my entire life so i have no right to complain
I just noticed the parallel lines you’ve cut into your triangles to help with spacing your section lines. I did that on all of my triangles. On Architectural drawing the section lines are called pocheing. Hadn’t thought of that in many years.
A quick way to sweep in a drill (this is how we do it in a gang tool CNC lathe where we don't have a set X position) is to stick your dial indicator on the workpiece in the spindle (or in the spindle directly if you're not mid-process like this) and coaxially indicate the tool or a dowel in the holder. Super quick and accurate.
I've tried this technique before for another purpose and had trouble with the indicator/arm shifting under the changing gravity direction. Do you not run into this? May have just been I was using a less than rigid arm.
@@InheritanceMachining could be, I prefer to use the super short arm that came with my Mitutoyo tenths indicator directly in the spindle. I've seen sag with something like an Indicol. I recall an old time toolmaker showing me a trick to account for it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
@@rickfinsta2951That makes sense. I imagine for compensating you could mount both stock in the chuck and the indicator on the chuck touching the stock and see if gravity changes the reading.
As someone who is doing an aprentiship as an industriemechaniker (english industrial mechanic) I love this so much. Its what I do on a dailey Basis, I absolute adore that I get to do this everyday, and its done in such a fun and informative way. I just wish I had such an oportunity that I could do this aswell. I wish you all the best in your ongoing journy Inheritance Machining
Oh Boy! I just finished a side hustle job painting a home interior for sale. The owner gave me a heavy cast metal drafting pencil sharpener. Exactly the same one you have. The drawings are a cheap way to work out issues and keep from filling your box!
Wow man, only 29 videos and 1 year later you're at nearly 200k subs and 10,000,000 views. I can't believe I found the channel so early, these videos always make it into my weekly youtube rounds now. Really shows how great and fun your videos are.
Every time I see you start a drawing, it makes me smile. Your K&E drafting machine reminds me of the ones I used in drafting class many years ago. Keep up the good work.
That sure was an unexpected roller coaster ride. Well done on negotiating the bumps and reverse turns. You got there in the end with a beautifully designed and executed tool. As for your box of shame, it contains important memories and lessons learned. 👏👏👍😀
I just wanted to extend my gratitude for the fantastic videos you create about machining. Your content not only provides in-depth knowledge and practical insights into the world of machining, but also imbues valuable lessons on inheritance, character building, and the joy of making things. Your passion and dedication to your craft are truly inspiring, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise with the world. Your videos are a joy to watch
Nice work Brandon! Those test indicators only measure absolute distance at a specific angle for the stylus. Everything else is subject to cosine error. A plunger indicator is always what I reach for when dealing with tailstock alignment. Thanks for the content!
If there is one thing I have learned through my life, it is; no matter how many springs you have collected, you always need more of them. Great episode and I really like your approach and methodology (humbleness).
In the end the experience you gained will be as valuable as the project. The next part will be that much easier to make as long as you put the previous experience to good use. Enjoyed the video, thanks.
@InheritanceMachining And I think you should call your box "lessons learned" otherwise you will avoid looking back to it and start making the same mistakes?
a guide cylinder with a groove and a tool holder with a pin for clamping in a drill chuck is the best thing there is for thread cutting. I had built this for external threads and internal threads.
I've done hobby machining and a bit more intensive blacksmithing and it always amazes me how in both areas, when you need a tool, you simply make it. Seeing as how blacksmiths of old are still around only in the form of machinist today, it shouldn't suprise me but for some reason it still does. Oddly enough I had done the machining first in my dad's shop and had several projects stopped simply because I didn't have the right tool, it wasn't until I began training in blacksmithing that it occurred to me that I could have simply made the correct tool to complete those projects. Oh well, live and learn, now I just need to get back in the shop and get some stuff fired up.
Your channel is one of my top 5 favorite channels on youtube. As much as I love the machining process, I have no experience with it other than operating a prosumer grade 3 axis CNC machine. I often wish I had gotten a job at a machine shop when I was a kid, but the next best thing is watching you make stuff. I see that your effort for precision rivals mine. I often say that I don't have OCD, but rather CDO. Good enough isn't ever good enough. So I truly appreciate your owning your mistakes on video, and knowing that it's only made you better at your craft. I wish you and your channel all the best. Thanks for such great content!
Man I love your drafting skills. Its awesome to watch. Just sat and watched this with my 2 Y/o "What's making Daddy" "A spring loaded tap follower" "That go round and round " "That's right son.......wait how do you know that? You're two!" Now I'm worried
Nice job. Nice to know someone else has their own “box of shame”. I like how you got the lead pointer in this video. I still use an old-school straight edge with the cables and pulleys. I may get one of those drafting machines and step up to the ‘70s!
I deeply feel that this channel needs a lot more subscribers as the quality is top notch and every second of these videos makes me (and i know a lot of the viewers) happy and relaxed. As usual, I put a well deserved like on it and I am waiting for the next one ! 🙂
You’re like the only RUclips machinist that adjusts the tail stock for alignment. It really bugs me when I see lathe tail stock drills visibly deflect on camera from mis alignment.
I finally have my shop fully operational. This is going to be my first project as it will also get me to dial in tail stock alignment and give me practice turning a MT3 which i will need for several different upcoming tools. Was thinking about making the main body a seperate piece and pressing in the taper shank as i think it would look neat to use aluminum bronze as the main body (and also act as a lubricated bushing of sorts for the movement of the pin). I will post pictures to your patreon when i get it done!
Thanks for watching everyone! Despite my troubles (and lessons) this "simple" project was intended to give time for the next one. My biggest project to date. Literally! Keep an eye out for that on February 17th!
Thanks for including and discussing all the things that didn’t go to plan!
@@andrewfergcorpcom My pleasure!
Thanks for the video.
Just a suggestion change the name on the box from "box of shame" to "box of learning"
A new box for lessons learnt? ;)

Please never stop the design drawings, even for simple stuff. In the future, they will be just as important as the products themselves to your children or whomever comes after you.
I teach high school physics and this channel made me dust off my old ENGR101 drawing chops for the lecture notes i post online
Best comment ever !! Keep the analog drawing board ! this is the best feature in a digital "ctrl+c" world. And makes the brain work !
I reckon you could see prints of the drawings
my great uncle was a city planner in philly. his old drawings are some of the coolest things i own, dude was a wizard at it
Find it nice to have a good drawing even if unnecessary
When the box fills up, you should do another just-lots-of-side-projects video using as many of those pieces as you can, bonus points if they all become parts for one project

God these videos are theraputic to watch. I can see through the videos as his skill (and tools) get better and better, love it

This is, literally, my new favorite channel.
I appreciate it, man!
Awesome, I was waiting for this! BTW, I saw those stickers on your cabinet door ;) I like this channel more every day.
😁
Lol I saw those too! Love that middle one, they've been fantastic for the price, just wish they'd bring the old logo back :(
I love these videos. Spent many years working in a job shop when I was younger. Makes me really miss making 'things'
Love the vertical lathe with the infinitely adjustable tool holder. I've got one of those too but didn't know it. Might come in handy one day.
Great video, thanks for sharing! In our experience, drilling a long hole with a twist drill will always wander somewhat even if you set up your tailstock super carefully and use a brand new high-quality drill bit, so boring is a must.

best creator ever, you are a joy to watch
thank you so much 🙏
To use one of the kindest things ever said to me "Another week of excellence I've come to expect from you." Not just the machining, but the presentation. Complacency bites us all eventually, and I really wish every engineer would watch your channel just to fully understand the cost of precision and the importance of designing for production. If I had any contacts left at MSOE, I'd tell every one of them about your videos.
Well that is very kind of you to say. Thank you. I'm an engineer coming from a machining background and I still learn something new every day that helps me in the design world.
PS: my father in law went to MSOE in the 80's for EE.
@@InheritanceMachining It's quite the small world. Please give him my best; I have fond memories of the school and anyone who went there feels like a long lost cousin.
Another great video, another great tool.
By the looks of it you'll soon need to build a chest of shame.
Looking forward to the next one!
I sure hope not! 😂 thanks!
great video man, i got a little upset when you used the mill as a lathe but then i remembered that i have never even seen a lathe in person in my entire life so i have no right to complain
😂 They are basically the same tool after all. Thanks!
Your grandfather must be/would have been proud of your work - both machining and video making!
Vertical camera angle on the cap turning was great.
I just noticed the parallel lines you’ve cut into your triangles to help with spacing your section lines. I did that on all of my triangles. On Architectural drawing the section lines are called pocheing. Hadn’t thought of that in many years.
A quick way to sweep in a drill (this is how we do it in a gang tool CNC lathe where we don't have a set X position) is to stick your dial indicator on the workpiece in the spindle (or in the spindle directly if you're not mid-process like this) and coaxially indicate the tool or a dowel in the holder. Super quick and accurate.
I've tried this technique before for another purpose and had trouble with the indicator/arm shifting under the changing gravity direction. Do you not run into this? May have just been I was using a less than rigid arm.
@@InheritanceMachining could be, I prefer to use the super short arm that came with my Mitutoyo tenths indicator directly in the spindle. I've seen sag with something like an Indicol. I recall an old time toolmaker showing me a trick to account for it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
@@rickfinsta2951That makes sense. I imagine for compensating you could mount both stock in the chuck and the indicator on the chuck touching the stock and see if gravity changes the reading.
As someone who is doing an aprentiship as an industriemechaniker (english industrial mechanic) I love this so much. Its what I do on a dailey Basis, I absolute adore that I get to do this everyday, and its done in such a fun and informative way. I just wish I had such an oportunity that I could do this aswell. I wish you all the best in your ongoing journy Inheritance Machining
Thank you!
Oh Boy! I just finished a side hustle job painting a home interior for sale. The owner gave me a heavy cast metal drafting pencil sharpener. Exactly the same one you have. The drawings are a cheap way to work out issues and keep from filling your box!
Very nice job.
A very useful tool.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
These videos are so great because each one is a story. :D
Wow man, only 29 videos and 1 year later you're at nearly 200k subs and 10,000,000 views. I can't believe I found the channel so early, these videos always make it into my weekly youtube rounds now. Really shows how great and fun your videos are.
It's absolutely nuts... I can't believe it myself sometimes. I appreciate the support along the way!
Every time I see you start a drawing, it makes me smile. Your K&E drafting machine reminds me of the ones I used in drafting class many years ago.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Great work nice tap follower. I was one of the lazy guys who bought one. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
For the time I spent on this one I don't blame you! Thanks
Another awesome video. Love the design to make it universal between your machines.
Thanks, Keith!
In a world where people get millions of views with zero actual talent its so refreshing to see a channel with such passion and talent involved.
By the time it all ended, I had forgotten what it was going to be used for. So relaxing!
That sure was an unexpected roller coaster ride. Well done on negotiating the bumps and reverse turns. You got there in the end with a beautifully designed and executed tool.
As for your box of shame, it contains important memories and lessons learned. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you!
You can wind solid core copper wire around a thread to avoid damaging it when you have to clamp a part on a thread
Excellent material. I’m just getting started and it’s awesome to see the good and the bad!
Your videos are always a must watch for me. Super satisfying and always well produced.
Thank you!
I just wanted to extend my gratitude for the fantastic videos you create about machining. Your content not only provides in-depth knowledge and practical insights into the world of machining, but also imbues valuable lessons on inheritance, character building, and the joy of making things. Your passion and dedication to your craft are truly inspiring, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise with the world. Your videos are a joy to watch
That is incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much, Daniel! It has been my pleasure!
Nice work Brandon! Those test indicators only measure absolute distance at a specific angle for the stylus. Everything else is subject to cosine error. A plunger indicator is always what I reach for when dealing with tailstock alignment. Thanks for the content!
Thanks and very good point! I'll have to do the math to figure out how much that cosine error is for the 10 thou travel of the stylus
That knurling tool you made is amazing! So satisfying!
😁 It's great! Thanks
Tailstock adjustments are the usb cables of the machinist world
Love watching you learn the trade skills. Looking to retire in a few years and do this for fun!
It’s been said, but the drawings are great and really add to your videos. Reminds me of high school drafting class!
Thanks! That's where I learned as well
I know you’re speaking English but… on the other hand I am stunned at your stellar craftsmanship!
😂 Thank you!
If there is one thing I have learned through my life, it is; no matter how many springs you have collected, you always need more of them. Great episode and I really like your approach and methodology (humbleness).
Amen to that! Thank you
In the end the experience you gained will be as valuable as the project. The next part will be that much easier to make as long as you put the previous experience to good use. Enjoyed the video, thanks.
Well said! Thank you
@InheritanceMachining And I think you should call your box "lessons learned" otherwise you will avoid looking back to it and start making the same mistakes?
@@andyoverall1951 nah, I keep that box up on the workbench for a reason! I find myself poking through there often!
a guide cylinder with a groove and a tool holder with a pin for clamping in a drill chuck is the best thing there is for thread cutting. I had built this for external threads and internal threads.
I've done hobby machining and a bit more intensive blacksmithing and it always amazes me how in both areas, when you need a tool, you simply make it. Seeing as how blacksmiths of old are still around only in the form of machinist today, it shouldn't suprise me but for some reason it still does. Oddly enough I had done the machining first in my dad's shop and had several projects stopped simply because I didn't have the right tool, it wasn't until I began training in blacksmithing that it occurred to me that I could have simply made the correct tool to complete those projects. Oh well, live and learn, now I just need to get back in the shop and get some stuff fired up.
I see those Aero and Magpul stickers…more reasons this is my favorite channel! 😂
Your channel is one of my top 5 favorite channels on youtube. As much as I love the machining process, I have no experience with it other than operating a prosumer grade 3 axis CNC machine. I often wish I had gotten a job at a machine shop when I was a kid, but the next best thing is watching you make stuff. I see that your effort for precision rivals mine. I often say that I don't have OCD, but rather CDO. Good enough isn't ever good enough. So I truly appreciate your owning your mistakes on video, and knowing that it's only made you better at your craft.
I wish you and your channel all the best. Thanks for such great content!
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
never get complacent folks. top upload per usual
Thank you for sharing this invaluable tool
Man I love your drafting skills. Its awesome to watch.
Just sat and watched this with my 2 Y/o
"What's making Daddy"
"A spring loaded tap follower"
"That go round and round "
"That's right son.......wait how do you know that? You're two!"
Now I'm worried
That's a good sign of things to come! 😁
@@InheritanceMachining I'm just worried when he finally gets close to my workshop, he's going to be disappointed
Nice job. Nice to know someone else has their own “box of shame”. I like how you got the lead pointer in this video. I still use an old-school straight edge with the cables and pulleys. I may get one of those drafting machines and step up to the ‘70s!
I deeply feel that this channel needs a lot more subscribers as the quality is top notch and every second of these videos makes me (and i know a lot of the viewers) happy and relaxed. As usual, I put a well deserved like on it and I am waiting for the next one ! 🙂
He's got a nice cozy community
Thank you very much 😁
You’re like the only RUclips machinist that adjusts the tail stock for alignment. It really bugs me when I see lathe tail stock drills visibly deflect on camera from mis alignment.
It's a pain in the butt, but It's needed for a lot of things
Complacency is the bane of man and all his endeavors. Continue the good work!
Indeed! Thanks
I finally have my shop fully operational. This is going to be my first project as it will also get me to dial in tail stock alignment and give me practice turning a MT3 which i will need for several different upcoming tools. Was thinking about making the main body a seperate piece and pressing in the taper shank as i think it would look neat to use aluminum bronze as the main body (and also act as a lubricated bushing of sorts for the movement of the pin). I will post pictures to your patreon when i get it done!
