Thanks Emma. Those rope knurls turned out nice. I impressed myself....lol
I love those rope knurls! they make a nice antique look. Nice trick with the 10203 block. Another home made tool to add to my someday project list.
Hi Nigel, thanks for the comment. Regards Kevin
A real useful tool for the shop and you did an awesome job Kevin!
God bless Stay safe
Thanks for watching. Regards kevin
Hi Kevin,
A really nice tool... also good to see you using the shaping machine, mill, and lathe.
I liked the idea of the 1,2,3 block and the digital protractor.
Good luck in the competition.
Take care
Paul,,

Love it. Here I am in NZ and never come across your channel, absolutely wonderful to see somebody local making neat stuff with stuff the we can get in NZ. Your latest subscriber :) Happy New Year
Hi Campbell, Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy New Year to you also. Cheers Kevin
I really need one of those lol. Very cool, Cheers 👍😊👍
Thanks
excellent!
Thanks for watching
Great video 👍
Thanks..
I have been doing this for just over a year the only equipment I have is a drill press and a mini lathe . I am seeing a lot of techniques that you were demonstrating that I will be parroting and and at least practicing. I do see you using the one to three block checking your tool holder squareness to the chuck, that is something I kind of picked up on in the very beginning but I probably don’t check it often enough.
I have learned a lot in one year but unfortunately I am only learning to deal with the limitations of my machine and compensating, which I suppose is still learning, I hope to get a little bigger machine and a milling machine soon.
Once again thank you very much for your constant. Kimber
Hi Kimber, I'm glad you have picked up some tips. YT is a great place to learn from and a great community. Regards Kevin
I absolutely agree people on RUclips have been great
Спасибо 👍
Thanks for watching
That turned it great. I like the idea of using a 123 Block with the Digital Inclinometer. That really worked Great. Good Luck on winning the contest.
Thanks for watching
You have some very nice machine tools! nice work on that optical center punch. I'll be making one now! Thanks...cheers, Jim
Thanks Jim and thanks for watching. Regards kevin
@@Machine_NZ I made 2 of them..............cheers,, Jim
Amazing work, I'll have to make one myself
Thanks for watching. Regards kevin
Gday Kevin, I really enjoyed watching this, you really did a great job, certainly a very handy tool to have, that’s going to have to be a tool I make in the future especially the way my eyes are, good luck mate and take care
Eyesight, exactly the same for me. It sucks getting older thats why I made the end with a magnifying/focus lens. Regards Kevin
Very good job...like the brass housing
Hi Music Man, Thanks for comment. Regards Kevin
Great video and tool good luck
Hi Joseph. Thanks for commenting
I never thought of cutting a knurl with a tap! Pretty clever!
I used this method for the filament feeders on 3D printers so thought I'd give it a try on knurling. Regards kevin
Nice one Kevin - I liked the hand turning bit! A bit like wood turning in miniature.
Thanks Craig.
Nicely made , many years ago they were sold by tooling dealers. Dont know if there still available but this shows it can be built in the home shop. Thanks
Thanks Gary.
Hi Kevin, Really useful tool and very well made ,enjoyed the video ,great stuff , (shame about the handle on the plastic bucket , thought you'd got away with that one ehhh!! ) lol .stay well mate Regards Mike
lol Mike. Yes I didn't realize until I'd finished. Thanks for watching
Very well done indeed. I have a commercial version (Veritas/Lee Valley.com) and I use it all the time. It is invaluable for making accurate dividing plates for my homemade dividing head, I use a PostScript computer program to make a template (could use a CAD program) and then optically centerpunch and drill. Bravo!
Hi Juan, thanks for watching and commenting. Regards Kevin
Hello NZ! Enjoyed the vid, thanks for the tutorial on making a rope knurl, I would have liked to see the pattern from the first failed try, perhaps it still has some use somewhere. Good luck with the competition, and cheers from Canada!
Hi there, thanks for watching. Regards Kevin
Does this tool suffer from parallax error depending on where your head is relative to the centreline of the tools bore? Nice tool, well made although I would have preferred thinner cross hairs. Good job, well done.
Awesome looks like it works perfectly
Do you have any links to where you found out about lens design? It sounds interesting and not an area that I know anything about
Hi Tom, theres plenty of lens calculators online but I cant remember which one it was now. Thanks for watching
Great project dear man. Can give more details about the acrilic part please:))
Thanks for watching
How did you accurately control the focal length (and lack of aberrations) of the lens?
in the video you just "had at it" with files, sandpaper, and polishing cloths.
Would you sell one of these and if so what would it cost? Thank you for sharing the video and awesome work!
Hi. Sorry I don't sell them. Regards kevin
Suffolk?
you may JUST have given me the last part of my puzzle. i tried lazers, i tried an endoscope. do you think the acrilic would transmit an image my endoscope can capture??? im questing an electronic (x marks the spot) i wanted red lazer dot .001 in dia, possible but costly. but a cross hair in acrilic AND my endoscope; may be a winner! THANK YOU poppy's workshop says HI
Hi Poppy, would be worth a try and wouldn't cost much
@@Machine_NZ please , i require more input. do you have more footage? i have some lucite rod. im also thinking of buying/ if possible a croshair sight. so much thinking, head hurts! poppy/s workshop says HI
