Mini Lathe Project: Making an Aluminium Game Dice
มุมมอง 1.2K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I make a 6-sided game dice out of a scrap piece of 1" aluminium and some brass rod for the numbers. The main equipment used was a benchtop mini lathe and a pillar drill.
Mini Lathe Project: Making a Pen Holder
มุมมอง 1.7Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I make a pen holder using only a small benchtop lathe and some basic turning tools. The materials used were aluminium and bronze. The video where I made the pen can be viewed here: th-cam.com/video/wK4_CoZmBCc/w-d-xo.html Feel free to comment/ask questions. Enjoy.
Mini Lathe Project: Making a Pen From Steel Bolts
มุมมอง 63Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I make a simple pen using M12 steel bolts, aluminium bar and some bronze. The main piece of equipment used was a small bench-top lathe, with the help of an angle grinder for cutting up the bolts.
Mini lathe project: Making a screwdriver with interchangeable drive tips
มุมมอง 34Kปีที่แล้ว
Here I make a screwdriver out of aluminium and brass using only a mini lathe. I designed the part and modelled it up in CAD to check it would work before machining. The screwdriver was designed so the drive tips can be swapped around to be used with multiple screw types.
Old Vice Refurbishment - Record No.3
มุมมอง 2.9Kปีที่แล้ว
Here I refurbish an old, and well used, record vice (Number 3). This is not a perfect restoration by any means, but the best I could do with the tools/resources I had available and without spending a ridiculous amount of time on it. Total cost for this project was £35 which includes the vice itself, bought second-hand for £20. Enjoy!
Nice machining for the pen
Bravo........now make a outer space pin .........astronauts pin......writes upside down and under water........cheers
Any chance i could have the drawings for this?
Awesome 👏
Very nice project. As a few others have suggested, some more captions or narration would be nice, so you can explain what you are doing and _why_ you're doing it. Pass on your valuable experience to those of us wanting to learn! One thing I wonder about, is there a spring or feature which makes sure that the pen refill is fully pressed "up" in the tip section of the pen? Or, does this design depend on the deep hole drilled into the back section to be _exactly_ the correct depth for the refill being used? In other words, does that back end of the pen "bottom out" in the deep hole in the rear section?
This was a very simple design and there was no spring mechanism included. As you say the cartridge bottoms out in the hole. The cartridge can always be cut to length or shimmed at the bottom of the hole if it isn’t initially a good fit.
Hello! Just saw the video, I was wondering if I could get the prints? I don’t mind paying for them or anything, thanks for your time!
Thanks for your comment, please get in touch with me via email “make.mend01@gmail.com” to discuss the prints.
Loved it, and subscribed :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Hi, would you sell one of these?
Unfortunately I don’t really have time to make them for selling at the moment.
This is a sick decoration for a desk or bedside table
Я одного не понял, для чего были болты 9.8 твердости?
Can you make steel bolts from a pen next please.🤣
Watch this space
Love the idea😁 the end product is pretty cool and festive
Wow. You gave me a great idea for a whip.
Very impressive (and a little scary) doing that with a 3 jaw chuck
Yes I definitely need to invest in a 4 jaw
That's cool!
Nice job
Well done! May I recommend a faceplate to hold similar jobs? Easy DIY project.
❤
This is beautiful. I'm using this as both inspiration and reference for my own attempts to make my own set of screwdrivers in the upcoming months.
Glad it was helpful. Good luck with your own project!
Amazing resto job, great detail 👍
Try adding relaxing music to your next video
Nicely done!
I enjoyed watching this.
Nice work!!
Nice work - subscribed.
Tell us about the lathe itself. And would you recommend? Thanks.
The lathe is a “WM180V” which I bought second hand. It seems really solid and well-built for a small lathe although it is 15 years old (made in 2008) so I’m not sure if the new ones are still as good. For example the gears are steel but a lot of the new lathes have plastic gears. The motor is fine most of the time, but sometimes struggles with tougher materials or taking a large depth of cut.
it's 2023 silent movies have been dead for awhile now.
Yeah but I'd rather them be silent then tell me their life story, tell me about the advertisement for today's video, then ask me to subscribe and buy all their merch, while also reading comments from the last video as their patrons scroll across screen

good project
Nice design and build. I especially like that you didn't drown out the great machining sounds with awful YT musak! I do have one concern, however, Most pens have a vent in them so that the ink will flow, rather than becoming vacuum-locked as the refill empties. Has this become an issue in your design, and if so, have you thought of a design feature to account for it?
Do you make these available to buy or plan on doing so? I'd happily commission you to make one for me
Thank you for the interest. Unfortunately I do not plan to sell them as it takes a long time to make by hand meaning it would not be cost effective unless I charged a lot for them.
@@makeormend8450 What would be "a lot"? 😜
Great idea, project, and video. Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment.
why don’t you use lathe to cutoff the bolt ends? way faster
I would have done that but my lathe struggles to part-off tougher materials such as steel
thanks for the reply few do anymore.
Dude d'ya know how mnay ppl would be interested in those tools f u could make enough to sell?? This is a stunning screwdriver.. I love how it changes out from flathead to phillips
Ur bench top has seen better days bro.. LOL That just means it's had a tonne of work done on it I guess.. I'm only joking btw mate. This is a really sweet screwdriver btw..
The workbench is certainly well used… I like to think it adds “character”.
how long does it take to make such a pen :P Well done
Around 5-6 hours I reckon although a lot of that was set up time like changing the feed rate and setting the taper angle.
Been machining 25 years and never thought to put a small drill up to catch bits im parting off, nice tip.
Engineering. Love the machinery.
Nice build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Great work dude 👏👏
Do you have a blueprint available for this?
Beautiful work! Where did you source the screw driver blades that fit in the handle?
Bought them off eBay since they were only a few £ and had a standard sized shank. I originally planned to make them myself but it would have been difficult to do the keys without a milling machine.
Great job!
That is the coolest pen ever. Very nice work.
Beautiful
Hi are you selling any of those pens
Not at the moment although I might look into this if there is interest from people.
A very nice little project, Subbed :o)
I would love a copy of the drawings
this is not only pen, it's so tools for war, or not?
Soothing 👍
