WOW… fantastic ending for this video. It did take me back to my childhood, that was one of my toys too, we had to make our own toys too, we didn’t buy them. Thanks Mr. Lee.
Hi Lee. Love the do nothing, I had that exact same experience as a kid! My mother had a large tin full of buttons. If we needed a button, we knew where to find one. Thanks for that memory! BTW, I can't throw anything away either. Drives my wife crazy!
As that disk was cut, I thought back to a time when I worked in a engineering department. A pair of engineers spent weeks perfecting something that was then unavailable: a rotary encoder. This device yielded an 8-bit value which corresponded to the shaft position of a stepper motor. The encoder was used to assure a fluid sample was pumped into a particular bottle. Long ago, and far away. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
Just great. Haven't tried my rigg for other purposes then positioning. Making shure the mill cuts and doesn't brake the bit calls for good practise, that I can't say I have.... "Cutting corners" just got a new meaning.... Joking! My parents were born 1923 and 1925 and i got the same lessons, repair, reuse..... It never hurt me. Here buttons were considered as costly, as well as zippers! Old clothing was sometimes turned into strips used in weaving "rag carpets" as we say! Two strings and a low cost toy. Brilliant! Yes! Really a great video in evere aspect.
Thank you for putting the aluminum under the workpiece. I kept telling you that you needed to and I was starting to think that you were not listening. Love your videos and how much you have learned in these few years
my mother was born in 1912 , she had small jars of buttons and zippers that sat by her manual singer sewing machine , she did eventually get a new electric one .
We might be similar in age, my parents were born in 1919 and 1920, they both remembered the Great Depression and saved things as do I, being 72 years old. One of my do nothings was in the summer after my mom told me to go outside (I guess I was getting to her) and we had a Buckeye tree and would take two Buckeyes and use an awl and put a single hole through each one. Then I would take a string about 32” long and tie a Buckeye at each end of the string, then tie a loop to go over my finger that would be maybe 4” from the center. The offset allowed the Buckeyes to pass without hitting each other, the objective of the Do Nothing was to get the Buckeyes swinging, but in different directions. It was hard to do but if you worked at it, you get those Buckeyes swinging opposite directions and keep them going forever. If I remember right I would start to swing one and at the same time l would toss the other one in the other direction and then you’d move your hand back and forth 4-6 inches, enough to keep them spinning, while holding on to the loop between your finger and thumb. Sorry everyone, once he reminded me of my childhood Do Nothing I couldn’t help but say what ours was. Thanks for the reminder! P.S. My mothers buttons were saved in an old round tin container, sometimes she’d have me look for a similar match when she was busy sewing. Hope to see you all next week!
Lee you are doing great with the rotary table. My parents got the full depression experience and saved things just like your folks did. My mother showed me how to make that button toy and I now and then would build one and see how fast it would spin. It made a nice buzzing noise when it was going really fast of course the string could only take just so much of that. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Oh my gosh. That do nuthin brought memories long forgotten. My Grandmother did the EXACT same thing. Her collection of buttons was so large she kept them in a large round tin with a tin metal lid. Thanks Mr. Lee.
Great video Lee, and thanks for reviving that old button toy, it brings up some ancient memories here as well. Nice success with the program very educational for me. Cheers brother!

Great video with the rotary table. The "do nothing" brought back memories of my grandmother and me doing exactly that with buttons.

Boy I sure did that a lot. Thanks for reminding.

Good one Lee ! Enjoyed both 👍👍

I can remember doing the same thing as a child
Great video Lee, and thanks for reviving that old button toy, it brings up some ancient memories here as well. Nice success with the program very educational for me. Cheers brother!
Nice one lee 👍👍👍👍
Amazing video!!
My grandmother called that a "zoo-zoo " because of the sound it made.
Very nice.
How did the toe clamps hold that disc? The heel of any clamp HAS to be higher than the toe, otherwise it will not clamp.
Cotton reel tank next?
Wish I was smart enough to write a program like that. At 75 I reckon I'm too old to learn
Never too old to learn.
