That turned out great! I see you got yourself some lovely machines, that's perfect!
A compliment from one "top shelf" builder to another! Thunderbear and Pask makes, birds of a feather flock together.
Nice compliment from Thunderbear...
A respectable nod from Thunderbear!
Thanks very much Torbjorn! Yes, loving the new toys! :)
Вай, Вы крутые ребята, держите курс так и дальше!
I assumed at the beginning that you would paint it (and I love the colour you chose) but I'll agree with the other comments - natural finish looks spot-on for the vintage style. Love the eject-a-knob at 13:23 too :)
Thanks Dominic! I think it would've looked good painted too but I loved how the etch came out. :)
@@PaskMakes I really like the look but I help but wonder what it would have looked like with that great color of paint as well
Cannot agree with you more about the eject-a-knob. It was very satisfying already to watch it drop into the hole but the air ejection just make it that much better.
@@DrWeird He needs to make a second one & paint it.
Agree?
What a fantastic project! No paint needed. And seeing how you handle that lathe, no one would guess it's a recent addition.
Glad you like it Bill and thanks, I'm really enjoying the lathe! :)
That bit at the end where it just drops into place... *hugely* satisfying! Another triumph!
It was pretty satisfying! Thanks! :)
How could anyone NOT like what you did? It looks super!
The two most satisfying moments: seeing how well it fitted in its place, like it was made for it... and hearing the little farty noises the holes make.
It's great to see the growing array of tools come into use.
Glad you enjoyed those moments! :)
Yeah, the ejection of the knob with compressed air and the farty sounds were the two highlights - love the childish joy aspect - but the whole thing is just beautiful. I love it. Inspiring in all ways. :)
I'm going against the grain here and I reckon painted would look more like it would have if it were produced in the 50's and would look amazing.
I'm with ya.
I was disappointed that he didn't paint it. It just doesn't looks finished, almost "rushed to get it done". Also the tiny numbers would be way better readable....
Aluminium look is perfect 👌
No paint “needed,” but I always find when doing faceplate etching, or really any etching where you have numbers or text you need to read often, the fill definitely helps
I currently have absolutely NO need for anything such as this - but I DO have an almost irresistible "need" to design and craft something like it.................so my friend, I can honestly say that not only do you amaze and entertain, you inspire as well. Thank you...................
Sometimes I feel like I am visiting a Rolls Royce factory with this fine channel. It is fascinating to consider.perfection with all of its sound effects. “Reckon” brings me back down to reality. What a mind!
Great piece! I use a vinyl cutter and acid or saltwater/voltage etching quite a lot - it’s a great way to etch without a glowforge. My favorite part, dropping the perfectly sized peg into the hole, then blowing it back out!
Thanks - I've already started thinking of more ways to use the vinyl cutter. :)
@@PaskMakes if I’m hand cutting steel for a knife (using an angle grinder), it’s quite useful as a stick on template. I’m looking forward to see what other creative ways you use it.
Every object you make is a record of your care, workmanship and eye for design. Super result.
Just Beautiful, the paint would really hit that vintage mark. I was disappointed with no sound effects at 13:20, but 14:24 made up for it.
Neil; when i come across a situation where it's hard to get a drill into tight spaces, i use my Milwaukee 4-in-1 drill from Home Depot: M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-in-1 Installation 3/8 in. Drill Driver Kit with 4-Tool Heads. It has made life easier for me. Keep up the good work!
That sound when you rubbed your fingers on the holes was so satisfying
There's something special about making tools look like art. Adding the paint would look really sharp, but the raw etch still looks very cool. And putting on that "shelf" makes it look like it was always meant to be there. Thanks for sharing!
Great job. I would have used a couple of strong magnets countersunk into the base of the drill stand assuming the metal on the cabinet isn’t stainless or aluminium of course.
My thought also.
I like this as well. Then the whole piece would lock onto any other magnetic surface.
I thought about that then thought that the bits might jump out as the stand was pulled away from the cabinet.
I was thinking along the same line but then thought that magnets on the index would attract any metal bits from where ever you set it down and then you'd be having to clean it off all the time. If you put the magnets on the cabinet and a disc set flush on the underside of the index that might work. But again any ferrous debris would be attracted to them and you'd still have the maintenance issue.
Great looking drill index and the videography is excellent as always.
My thanks to @Pask Makes for taking the time to share this.
Metal shop. Machining gear. A grinding room, fer crying' out loud! And it's all in regional Queensland! You are just living your best life now, eh? Great stuff, Neil. Really loving your channel as it moves along in leaps and bounds.
I can't make up my mind re: paint vs vintage. Neil I think you should make another
one for your spade/router bits so we can make an educated guess ;) *Well done.*
He should do it in wood and fill in lettering with paint with a poly finish on top of that. Would look fantastic.
Ooooh! The increasing height of the drill bits matches the slope of cabinet! *chefs kiss*
Stunning work. I keep seeing original drill bit holders like my father had and they’re always so expensive for what they are. Never conceived one could be made even better.
Always look forward to your posts Neil... Once again, Great job on this project. Love to see you expanding your knowledge base and creative content! Cheers!
This turned out quite nice! I'd have tossed magnets in the base of the index but I think your idea works out better in the long run - the locating pins will prevent the paint from being chipped/scratched off the surface of the cabinet, since you're forced to lift the index rather than just slide it off. Smart!
Magnets recessed in the holes drilled for the pegs and a felt to cover the bottom would be the perfect solution I think.
Very cool, definitely leaving it unpainted was the right decision. It looks just wicked like it’s an antique.
Neal, now that's my kind of bit index. Retro design, solid & portable. I like the use of the Cricut as a etching template!
I will be v-carving mine out of a 1" acrylic block with embedded magnets.
Awesome project! A tip from sign-makers, who spend many hours weeding vinyl cutouts - use the point of an Xacto blade to pick the unwanted parts out of the stencil. Stick the point just far enough into the vinyl to poke and pull it out, instead of pushing with the awl.
That looks brilliant, and it had to be hella satisfying having those knobs so smoothly go into the plate.
All in all, it came out beautifully! And the ferric chloride gave you great contrast on the aluminium. I've only ever worked on steel so it's nice to get some insight into a new material. Thanks for sharing!
That's great, Neil. I'm glad you left the paint off. It looks so much better that way.
Bill
Gorgeous! I would have thought it would need to be painted but it looks perfect without. Lovely little project very well executed! Thanks for sharing!
For quite a long time I have been thinking about making an Index for thread taps, with each correct size drill bit for tapping size and clearance size. Now I have watched you do this I may finally get around to making one!
This is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed watching you make it. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. It's encouraging to see you continue to stretch out into other skills. And the end result is such a classic look and a perfect fit with the cabinet.
No worries - I reckon trying out new techniques is the most fun part of making. :)
Looks fantastic! After seeing the paint color, I would love to see it painted. It's a knockout either way.
I love it, looks amazing, especially without paint, great choice as always!
That was a great vid. simple yet elegant project. user friendly and portable while staying secured on shelf. really an awesome job.
Looking great Neil! Aluminium is reacting way more aggressive to acid, when the oxide layer is once removed.
Thanks! Yes it really did react more vigorously, I'll have to experiment more. :)
@@PaskMakes If you dilute the ferric it tends to be a lot less frisky and avoids at lot of pitting too
Love the result though
No paint needed. Absolutely first class work.
I’m really enjoying the metal working, it’s a nice mix.
Crazy cool looking!!! Awesome job!! Thanks for sharing!
I think it looks great. Thanks for the look.
I like it. Since you asked, I'd polish the Pask Makes and Twist Drill Index, QS AU Metric and surrounding bar. Paint the etch. Leave the rest brushed/matte. A mix of everything. Inspiring as always, keep making!
The sound of inserting the bits at the end is just perfect. You are doing what everyone else wants to, little personal tweaks that make life easier and more professional. Great stuff!
Being quite vintage myself I appreciate the project. Great work as always. As is works for me, no paint needed.
You're just the coolest, Pask. I always look forward to your projects!
I'm not sure about that but thanks very much! :)
Great job, really enjoyable to watch. well done!
It looks fantastic. Great to see the etching process all the way through, I reckon that would be a craft that could get addictive.
It does look fantastic. Nice attention to details. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful piece of work Neil.
Very cool and professional looking. It turned out amazing.
Looks great. I love it. I have some vintage drill holders that are still in use today. No paint, aluminum, brass and even copper look fine on their own.
Nice job! Love the vintage look.
Looks awesome likes this. Etched aluminum gives a great brushed and aged look.
Super interesting as always!! It looks great as is, but that shade of blue you use looks great on everything. I bought some for an old c-clamp I restored
That really was the best way to make the cabinet look complete!
That looks amazing. I too would have painted it but after it was done also decided it looks better with just a clear coat on. Nice job.
fantastic job Neil!!
that is soooooo cool! Love how you're mounting it!
Looks just fine. Glad you saved your paint! 👍🏿
Awesome work Neil. Love the end result, and as usual, great filming, editing and voiceover. Thanks, Craig
Thanks very much Craig! :)
Been following your channel for a long time. Your attention to detail is so inspiring!
Enjoyed this very much. Loved how the etching turned out. It looks perfect. No paint would also have been my choice.
Turned out excellent! Thumbs up and thanks for posting.
I love the look of the tarnished metal. Nicely done sir.
With the etching so shallow I can't see paint making the project look any better. Nice looking as is and convenient drill storage! Thanks
Awesome build! I love the retro look of it
Neil, you NEVER fail to amaze! Superb job!
A trick I learned working with sawing a lot of aluminum over the years. Spray the blade with a good quality spray bottle as it exits the aluminum with Rubbing Alcohol. The aluminum chips are hot when exiting the aluminum and the alcohol causes the chips to contract rapidly flying off the blade leaving the blade very clean.
Excellent explaining and wonderful result.
Looks great. Nicely done.
Excellent job man, looks great.
Looks great. Love the colour of the paint you got but am glad you left it unpainted. It looks awesome just as it is.
Amazing project, so creative, so precise, you are a genius⭐️⭐️⭐️
Precision perfection 👍. No paint for me. Always love your narration. Thanks for sharing your work.
That really does look better than a bought one! Loved the little pop out with the air gun @13:20
The drill guide looks great pask, me personally i always enjoy a good pop of color to brighten my mood but the natural metal finish looks clean too
An awesome work of art as usual.
That looks etching great Neil!
That looks incredible! I've seen those Cricut machines in the craft stores and now I want one.
That came out really really nice!!! I love your mill and lathe. They're very nice! And will be a treat seeing you machining more. Thanks for sharing i always really enjoy your videos.

Amazing craftsmanship!
Amazing work ... nothing like the right tool for the job, especially when you have the skill and knowledge to make the most of them. A pleasure to watch as usual ... Cheers Mate!!
I have to say I've really been enjoying the machining content you've been putting out lately. Great work!
That's great to hear, thank you - I will be getting back to some woodworking videos too though! :)
As someone with pseudo OCD (lol), THIS video completely did it for me. Fuzzy feelings all day long. Thankyou! Love your work
Looks really great! Great video!
it's fun how the angle of the opening of the band saw case sort of matches the angle of the drill bits.
Just a beautiful piece of art, very nicely done. Love it
Mate, that’s gorgeous!
Also a perfect place for it to live. 👏👏👏👍
Very pleasing project, and great looking final result
I definitely would have left it as is, it gives it that antique look. This was a simple but great project. Loved it
Nice project and a wonderful production.
I remember as a kid my grandpa's workshop, he had all kinds o different index charts which he had made from wood. Great video and thanks for the memory reminders.
That index test fit was soooooooo satisfying ! Well done Sir, it looks awesome !
this was a fascinating programme . we like the finish as is. this piece is art work ,it is museum quality and should be shown in moma . thanks for this great show ,you really are talented.
That was bloody fantastic 🤩 nice job pask 👌
13:20 This is so satisfying 😍 It looks, like so many of your builds, amazing, Neil!
simple looking project but expert execution....some really good tips on drilling. I think it looks awesome just etched like you left it.
Without doubt leave it as it is, it looks great.
Looking great as usual!
Turned out great as usual. Awesome video
