75 year old retired toolmaker here and your work is wonderful to watch. Stoning the table I thought I'd never see done again. Your equipment is old, but boy; you're sure getting tolerances to be proud of out of it all.
Wow you know you've made it when the likes of this old tony & Alec Steele comment on your videos, well deserved praise, your channel proves that quality over quantity is a great way to be a successful creator
My Grandfather was a highly skilled machinist here in the USA, who retired in the mid 1970’s. He would of been impressed with your skills and work ethic, as I am. It’s awesome in the world we live in today, to see a man your age so dedicated to your craft. Your an inspiration my friend ! Keep up the hard work and thanks for sharing !
My great grandfather was into machining and building complex tools (he even build gears with helical gearing). After the GI's took over Germany, he repaired Jeeps and constructed machines for them. Still I have so much stuff around, he worked with and what he created (even hand drawn construction plans!). Now seeing how beautiful it is to be able to use this and build your own tools and machinery - I want to get into it! Please show more!
If you have the material already in the workshop Is a great invest on time ti machine it. But if you had ti buy the material Is a great loss of time and Money ...
@@albertodalmaso8896 Agree... to a point. One has to weight what is more important to you, time or money. It also matters where you are in the world and what is available.
The milling vise is beautifully made, it's clean and what I like the most is that when you squeeze a plate to make it square or make a hole, there is a gap and you don't need a parallel block to set up or level if it's level because it already has a guide. Salute to you sir, you are a legendary machinist ♥️💯
Proof that there are “young” old school craftsman still out there. How about you make a short biography video, showing your town, job and neighborhood, as well as where you learned such fine skills? Precision knows no geographical boundaries. Your videography is on par with your machining as well.
I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, with fairly high risk taking aptitudes. And I respectfully request that I may subscribe to your channel. What a special person you are. Patient, excellent intuition, great memory for re-assembling tools with extreme tolerances and precision.... Well done young MAN!
I’m not sure why, but RUclips has been nonstop promoting this video over and over and over again in my Recommended Videos and on my home page; it’s usually the first video at the top of my feed every time I open RUclips. Glad I ended up clicking it. Great work.
This is the best and most beautiful design I've seen for a machinist vice. I'm super impressed by your work and attention to detail. You really do amazing work.
You reminded me why I became an engineer forty-six years ago! Damn I felt nostalgic :-)! Superb build, very enjoyable to watch a true young skilled talent at work. Thank you!
It's great to see some REAL machining content on RUclips for once. It's great to see it coming from Asia too, where (according to Americans) no one knows how to make anything properly.
Absolute skill and Genius, I never get tired of watching, I am a hobby machinist for years and I do not have anywhere near your skills. Well done Sir. Your parents should be very proud of you.
Like a rescued dog. It's like the Schaublin is rewarding Ca Lem for rescuing him from standing rejected out in the weather outside in someone's yard, lol.
Beautiful video about a absolutely top notch vise. I do not know the price of such a vise with all the features you have given this one. But the value of this one and the video is priceless. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them. Keep it up.
Amazing work Ca Lem. As a home machinist thats fantastic precision. Not too many fellows can do what you do. Thanks for all the content. Bob in Ireland
Amazing work, do I see a Stefan Goteswinter in the making. Its nice to have the tools to make better tools, you have about everything, you have come a long way since your first restoration.
Man those tolerances you hit are unbelivable!!! even thermal expansion can through the part off a couple of tenths (micrometers) but you were spot on. well done!
Bro, I keep coming back and watching this video over and over again because of how beautiful this vise is and how nicely it is machined... as a machinist, it just hits me hard and deep in the erogenous areas... :)
Wow! Very nicely done. Great machining skills and well recorded. I could watch a whole hour of this video. Finished product came out beautiful. Great job.
Awesome result , this is the best video i have seen in a long time , i love the design of the pull down jaws, . i have never seen the rotateable chuck before on the grinder , and i have worked in toolrooms for 40 years , always learning , great job again and loving your work , Ade
Nicely done! That is one beautiful vice, I would buy one of those in a heartbeat, so many features. Thanks for posting this, you make great video's as well as being a world class machinist!
Phenomenal work. To master a trade as infinitely complex is an impossible dream. But to get this close is a place reserved for very few of us. Nothing more satisfying than watching perfect tolerances being designed and realised by an exceptional tradesman.
So was my employer when I had to make a calibration tool for a CNC workcenter once. He didn't care if it was 82, 81 or 80mm long, as long as it was XX,000mm. Blew it on the first try and ened up with 81,999mm. Had to grind of another 0,999mm. XD When you work with zero tolerance, there is absolutely no room for error. It was good practice though. :)
Wow! You do such incredible work! That vice looked like it must have been within 50 millionths! Ca Lem, it must be enjoyable to be you. You are the king!
Your video explores so many operations to build a modular vise. As a user, by just spending some amount of money, the tool can be readily be used. I just bought one. Haven't yet checked its accuracy.
To be real, there are commercial vises out there with pull down jaws, and to the same standard of excellence. eg. Image-Google Gerardi. But this is made in a (admittedly well-equipped) home workshop, by a young enthusiast of excellence. Saying "I could also do that, if I had these machines" is like saying "Now that I've got my diving licence, I could win races like Schumacher, if I had the Ferrari.." And who cares how long it took him to complete it? Not everything should be measured by a clock ticking off Dollars. If Michelangelo worked for Wall Street money grubbers, we'd never have had the priceless art that he's left us with.
"if you can do something perfect, remember, you always can find one yong asian guy, who can do it much better, than you" thanks, men, your videos are perfect!
Thank you for sharing, Sir you have taking me to engineering school days, perfect execution, master machinist, A++. I’ll be in your channel forever. Thank you, and have a good day.
plepgeat this is well done yes.. But making a vise like this is a regular machinist apprentice job here. So calm down. 😀 Adam isnt something completely amazing. Hes just a machinist filmning his stuff, - stuff that most in this trade does every day.. 😉
Excellent work! Build it yourself & know that YOU made it, not some multi million dollar company that has low standards for quality. Subbed. Love the GREEN paint for the lathe, gray is the most depressing color for anything.
I was actually gonna send you a link to this, Tom - since you've just picked up your surface grinder. Glad you have already found it! What a talent this guy is.
❤, there are none more accurate than you. Your “tools” may have been around a while…… but they are clean and checked for accuracy . That’s why they will be around a long time yet. My Dads been gone 30 yrs, I can still hear him say “atta boy” job well done. Many of us wonder where you got your “skills” for you have many 🙂👍❤️
Awesome I really like this vise So please if you made it for sale I would like to have one let us know the price and the shipping cost if you are willing to sale in your next video you take care
My friend am amazed from your craftsmanship your precition at your work at your age !! I think that I learned a lot from you !! Keep on your beautiful work and also keep on you excellent videos !!

Incredible craftsmanship and skill!
Holy moly! Thanks buddy, a pleasure to see you here.
You’re a great machinist 👍🇬🇧
saw it. nice work!
Thank you ;)
Hey Tony, has your boy lost interest in that mini lathe yet? Can wait to see some more cnc conversion vids
This old Tony + That young Tony.. 😁
😍

Holy crap. That was the most satisfying machining video I ever saw. I want more, I want details, I want longer videos. It's addicting.
He has another vise making video that is equally satisfying.
Hello!

There is that wonderful "tipping point" where you go from needing a tool to having enough tools to make what you need. Well done!
If you have the material already in the workshop Is a great invest on time ti machine it. But if you had ti buy the material Is a great loss of time and Money ...
What a beautiful statement!
@@tuscanland like soft-jaws on CNC lathes ... Is more cheap to buy them at the local supplier than take a cold-rolled bar and machine it
@@albertodalmaso8896 My comment was in response to ramosel's.

Extraordinary work in all media!
Amen!
Just by the channel name, I guess he's from the south of Vietnam, probably Saigon - From his fellow country man!
I can't tell which impresses me more -- your mad machining skills or your lighting/camera work. This was awesome!
0.002mm dial indicator!!
Hi
I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, with fairly high risk taking aptitudes. And I respectfully request that I may subscribe to your channel. What a special person you are. Patient, excellent intuition, great memory for re-assembling tools with extreme tolerances and precision.... Well done young MAN!
The scenes where the needle of the indicator appears to be perfectly stationary made me shiver.
Amazing mate. Your precision & methodology are like somebody that has been precision machining for 50 years. Real talent.
Beautiful work! Very nice build. You have quite a well equipped shop these days.
All the best,
Tom
oxtoolco thanks uncle Tom. Hope you well this time.
I think he uses his boss machine shop to build it for his own use.
I’m not sure why, but RUclips has been nonstop promoting this video over and over and over again in my Recommended Videos and on my home page; it’s usually the first video at the top of my feed every time I open RUclips. Glad I ended up clicking it. Great work.
You‘re hell of a badass machinist.
Most excellent job Ca Lem, really beautiful workmanship and design.
All the best, Uncle Robin
ROBRENZ thanks uncle Robin!
This young Tony - but way more precise. Man you are awesome.
I mean, they work with the same precision, just Tony gets there 3 tries later :p
This is the best and most beautiful design I've seen for a machinist vice. I'm super impressed by your work and attention to detail. You really do amazing work.
You reminded me why I became an engineer forty-six years ago! Damn I felt nostalgic :-)! Superb build, very enjoyable to watch a true young skilled talent at work. Thank you!
For a young pup you are well educated in "old school" quality work. I'd trust you for any fine work I needed.
It's great to see some REAL machining content on RUclips for once. It's great to see it coming from Asia too, where (according to Americans) no one knows how to make anything properly.
Absolute skill and Genius, I never get tired of watching, I am a hobby machinist for years and I do not have anywhere near your skills.
Well done Sir. Your parents should be very proud of you.
Overkill? absolute not :-) a fine piece of art you got there.
Ca Lem, another piece of machine art. I’m so envious of your skill set. You are what most machinist aspire to be.....way too cool
This Schaublin is really lucky to have found such a caring owner. Awesome work, mate! Greetings from Switzerland.
Like a rescued dog. It's like the Schaublin is rewarding Ca Lem for rescuing him from standing rejected out in the weather outside in someone's yard, lol.
Hello!
That plunger design is ingenious. Fixes my biggest gripe with this style of vise. Your workmanship is impressive, thank you for making the video.
Indicator doesn't lie. The best vice in the world! You are very talented man!
Watched the whole thing.
I'm amazed that hard steel can be crafted that way. True precision; truly amazing.
Beautiful video about a absolutely top notch vise. I do not know the price of such a vise with all the features you have given this one. But the value of this one and the video is priceless. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them. Keep it up.
Seriously awesome. Machine vises with the adjustable post are just the best looking design period.
Amazing work Ca Lem. As a home machinist thats fantastic precision. Not too many fellows can do what you do. Thanks for all the content. Bob in Ireland
The level of precision is insane! Those indicator sweeps really gave me the chills
Amazing work, do I see a Stefan Goteswinter in the making. Its nice to have the tools to make better tools, you have about everything, you have come a long way since your first restoration.
Man those tolerances you hit are unbelivable!!! even thermal expansion can through the part off a couple of tenths (micrometers) but you were spot on. well done!
As much as I enjoyed this, it can hardly be called DIY when your level of tooling and professionalism obviously exceeds many factories.
Also did is his hardening steel processes skill, not every diy guys can achieve.
I have all the same tools and cannot make them do what Ca Lem does!
Bro, I keep coming back and watching this video over and over again because of how beautiful this vise is and how nicely it is machined... as a machinist, it just hits me hard and deep in the erogenous areas... :)
Clickspring, Steffan and you are the finest metal workers, machinists I've seen, but your "style" Is the Best.
Greetings from México.
Very nice job. 40 years in the business here and miss it. Great video.
Wow! Very nicely done. Great machining skills and well recorded. I could watch a whole hour of this video. Finished product came out beautiful. Great job.
You have your hands in gold and your brains in diamond !!!, je suis un grand fan de ton savoir faire.

@@HepauDK How did you measure it to within a micron?
@@Limosical With gauge blocks and a go/no-go caliper, or a microscope.
@@jafeth5451 might as well just use a piece of string
@@HepauDK Jeesus Cryst mister!!
Wow!
You do such incredible work! That vice looked like it must have been within 50 millionths!
Ca Lem, it must be enjoyable to be you. You are the king!
Dude that was epic! Definitely one of the most satisfying machining videos I've seen!
Your video explores so many operations to build a modular vise. As a user, by just spending some amount of money, the tool can be readily be used. I just bought one. Haven't yet checked its accuracy.
Wow, this thing turned out great! Love the pull down jaws, never saw those before!
I also love your attitude of "I can't buy it, so I'll make it!"
To be real, there are commercial vises out there with pull down jaws, and to the same standard of excellence. eg. Image-Google Gerardi. But this is made in a (admittedly well-equipped) home workshop, by a young enthusiast of excellence.

A well designed vise...I really like the button feature that locks in the moving jaw in place.
I’ve been waiting for another awesome video from you! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all!
just constantly amazed by your attention to detail and workmanship.
Wow! Excellent craftsmanship!
I'm a sucker for precision. I absolutely love this! Everything is so smooth and flat and true and parallel and square and other words
That's a great job!
Hi
И инженер Брунс тоже здесь ))
If Abom and TOT had a love child.. I can't get enough of your work. Keep it up!
Молодец! Приятно смотреть на работу мастера. Привет из России.
Very good
I know nothing about this stuff, but your videos are fascinating to watch.
I was just watching the Shaublin 13 video again just now. I thought of Tony when I saw those I-Beam parallel.
The first thought that came to mind, Tony is Hella jealous 😂😂
I had to watch this a second time. You are a genius with metal and your machine tools. Very well done sir.
Im sorry to say, but you have out done This old tony haha :D
Amazing work, it takes a true machinist to do this.
While I'm not personally a fan of that style of vice you did a beautiful job building it, absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely well done Sir. I appreciated every minute of this video.
Definitely my favourite machinist video on RUclips
17:05 = 0.0 i hope tot acept that duel. Where can i put another like.
Εξαιρετική δουλειά.....όπως αρμόζει σ' έναν σοβαρό επαγγελματία!
"if you can do something perfect, remember, you always can find one yong asian guy, who can do it much better, than you"
thanks, men, your videos are perfect!
Thank you for sharing, Sir you have taking me to engineering school days, perfect execution, master machinist, A++. I’ll be in your channel forever. Thank you, and have a good day.
TOT? He's one of my favorites, sir, but this is Abom79-level work!

You need to check out Stefan Gotteswinter
I think this is more Stefan Gotswinter level, this in mechanical art
There is something hypnotic about your videos . . Just makes me wanna walk to the shed and do something!
Hope TOT see this :))))))))
I thought this was a TOT video when I saw the thumbnail.
@@fartzinacan Yeah, but not enough talking and dad jokes, though.

TOT, boom! Lol
A dial doing nothing at all has never been so satisfying! That's amazing.
17:25 He’d be shocked that’s awesome ! You even have the same mill as him
Excellent work! Build it yourself & know that YOU made it, not some multi million dollar company that has low standards for quality. Subbed. Love the GREEN paint for the lathe, gray is the most depressing color for anything.
That was impressive, the precision and finish!!
Loved it, even the shot at Tony was great! Lol! :)
Thanks for sharing!

I was actually gonna send you a link to this, Tom - since you've just picked up your surface grinder. Glad you have already found it! What a talent this guy is.
I was just thinking why didn't he make the nut a Positive Lock, then i saw your jaws, excellent ingenuity. You are one hell of a master builder...
Vise made in Vietnam... Perfect!!!
Damn! That vise is a sight to behold! Great job Cà Lem!
I love watching thrse DIYs with no sound whilst listening to my music library. I was thinking " ABOM AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON YOU".
Nothing so satisfying as making a high tolerance piece of work! Nice to have a surface grinding machine!
WoW great job!!!

"Hope TOT see this".... I almost hit the floor laughing! Just like when TOT slips in an AvE joke in his video's from time to time. Well done
still my favorite machining video, just gorgeous in every way
Heavy metal porn has taken a bizarre turn.

Yeah
Thats exactly the same I was thinking about 💪
Get your "O"face on!!😂😂
Phenomenal machining and grinding!!! Vise came out beautiful!! Love the push button quick adjust!!
