I've never commented before, after watching you for 2+ years but your videos inspire much more than I think you know. You remind me so much of my grandfather and you shouldn't apologise for little mistakes you make as like him you've forgot much more than most of us young guys know. The internet is a brilliant thing but also a magnet for "know all's". When he died I found it hard to get back into the shop and watching you helped and made me remember what I was missing and for that I thank you. Keep up the great videos. Thanks from the UK
I love Tubalcain sarcasm. "all you need is $5000 worth of tools and you can make a $15 part and save money" . I am pretty sure I am guilty of that myself.
Interesting how the knurling cleans up the stock ,great rust removal method! I was just about to buy a wiggler set you've saved me £16 and justified the existance of my machine shop. I remember reading something years ago where a guy made a washer on his £1000 lathe, his wife commented that the washer cost £1000 to produce, then the guy said if he made another then they're only £500 each! Superb tutorial as always, thank you.
Another wonderful video, Mr. Pete. Having dealt with cataracs myself, I can sure understand seeing things on the big screen that you didn't catch in the shop. The technique and theory are there, for sure, as well as my optivisor which has saved my butt more than once! Thanks, Mr. Pete!
We had tool and die maker working as a machinist, he used to use a blob of duct seal and a needle on the big mill to locate a point, exactly like that wiggler. It was neat to see. Good vid Lyle!
I've had a Craftsman wiggler set in my toolbox for 25 years. I never once thought to use it for anything because I've always just used an edge finder. But after watching this, I decided to use it just to say I did. I discovered an advantage over the edge finder, which is obvious in your video. I don't need to tie up two toolholders to keep an edge finder and a pointer chucked up; I can use the wiggler for both.
One of the machinists in my old workshop used to say "Don't tell the boss that I did that for free" for similar scenarios such as your "free of charge" removal of the majority of the knurled diameter at

Hahaha! The joke on saving money and making it yourself. Priceless! Thank you for the humor beyond the call of duty! <3

Yay! I've never understood how wigglers work. Now, by seeing one built, I may actually figure it out. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work.

Mr. Pete,
Love your how to make videos, I have a wiggler I made out of a round glass headed pin. Works ok on my small mill.
Wonderful video Mr. Pete. Thank you for your dedication. Regards, Mike

Yes. Ever since I started getting into this hobby, my wife just can't believe all the money I'm saving!
I am really enjoying these little projects. My shop is too cold now but come spring I hope to replay and actually make these things.
