You should pull the strings out of your hoodie before they get caught on something, I like your videos

I'm far from the safety police but pull the string on that hoodie.

You slow your feed rate down a touch with deeper cuts? Trying to learn love the videos

Thanks for sharing brother. Always nice to see other guys set up and techniques.

You need a sonic the hedgehog 🦔 logo or a roadrunner logo in your business logo or shirts or something with how fast you are 😂. Nice work love it I’m not a machinist I can do some basics maybe at like 1-20th your speed lol I’m a welder fabricator I started watching your videos on instagram a while back nice work man 👍🍻

Nice work. Thanks for the video. Get ready for the safety-singers typing up a storm about gloves and lathes……………love it. Keep the videos coming.

Good video, I've made lots of companion flanges from blind flanges when we didn't have any. Suggestion for future video - If your lathe is capable of metric threads, are you able to release the half nuts between passes? Our Pacemaker and Yamazaki lathe could do metric, but you could not release the half nuts between passes. You had to keep them locked and reverse the lathe to get the thread to be timed correctly with the next pass. They both had thread counters that worked well with SAE threads but would not stay timed correctly with metric. Never understood why.

Zak, appreciate your videos mate, no matter what you do right there will always be negative comments, I’m 25 years in the trade and understand exactly what you do, it’s such a pity that there isn’t more manual machinist willing to share their experience and priceless knowledge, keep up the good work and hopefully the next generation will be thankful to craftsmen like you

Class work mate, appreciate you, old school manual machinist here also from Southern Ireland, a dying trade unfortunately

Why no continue here on TH-cam for the cut?

Good to see Under Taker on a lathe!! hahaha jk Nice Job

Man I love seeing this. My boy went everywhere with me. He’s 19 now and has his own business. If we don’t invest in the youngens then we have no future. 🌲🇺🇸🌲

That’s a great day right there.

I get that time is money but I had a hard time watching you put your body over that part while it was running. I'm just saying out of concern

are you doing oil fled work

Buenss noches desde España, me parece interesante porque son trabajos cotidianos, pero deberías de mostrar más de erca como atavas material y pasadas. Un abrazo

I do similar work. My customer has me build up the shoe about 2 1/2 on the end, then turn to size and bore 1 1/2 back. I wind up shimming the bull nose cent and taking a skin off the O.D. for my steady rest to run on. After coating with carbide I use the steady rest band to grind finish. Similar process. Appreciate you sharing.

U could suggest to you're costumer that you can make a bushing that crosses the 5-3/4 overshot bowl back to 5-3/4 washpipe . The washpipe will have enough ID to except the largest catch of that overshot.

I wish the live center would work for grinding the shoe but the carbide is obviously a rough surface. I dressed some new shoes the otherday and that coating must come off. The silver/ nickel doesn't like it.

You should dedicate a video to lathe/shop safety in your line of work. I myself work in a small shop and me and you both do things differently than if you were in a big plant.

I am going to take some of what I said back. I found a different page that says I am subscribed but there is still no notification working for me.

It’s cool seeing your big spindle lathe run. It’s not something your see everyday. Subscribe!

Just info because you mentioned subscribers. There is not any way to subscribe that I have seen connected to the videos you post,and the notification bell is not active. I think I have seen all of your videos but I have just ran across them. Maybe not everything is activated on your end?

Sweet! Another manual machinist to watch and learn from. Subscribed!

WP thread?

Would be even better is you turned phone sideways to record….cheers, new subscriber here in Florida, Paulie

well done job dawg

I’m a field machinist for oil and gas refineries but something about machining in a shop just gets my gears rolling

Damn im impressed 👍

Looks like you've done that a few times. You have a nice setup for supporting and feeding those pipes thru the wall. I used to make a lot of pump shafts, you did something that made me smile when you started threading - blew the smoke out of the way so you could see - I did that all the time, especially when getting close to a shoulder. Seems like messing with the camera would be a pain, but I'm glad you do. Keep the videos coming.

Please make some Like day in the life videos and show what your day is really like at your shop and how much people can make doing what you do

You should start making longform content on TH-cam like how much you made from everything you did in the day like a realistic look into a machine shop owners day

I just noticed the sheet of emery cloth under the tool post. I’ve been using it between the part and jaws, but this one is new. Definitely trying it out next time 🍻

The guy that trained me did this all the time with Emory.

I just ran across your videos recently. I have enjoyed watching them, bring back memories. I was a maintenance machinist for 15 years at a now shuttered papermill. Had to take a much lower paying job that I hate for a couple years and am thinking of retiring. I really miss my machinist job, we had a 20" American Pacemaker that was our most used lathe. I understand fully that sometimes you can't do things the way you would like to, especially if production is down and they are relying on your skills to get them back up. I was trained by a 40 year veteran that forgot more about machining than I could ever know. Keep bringing the great memories.

Can you show how you supporting the material on the long side?

Looks like you've been doing this for decades! Awesome job! For what purpose are the pipes machined by the way? Just one nitpick I'd like to point out is safety glasses while using the lathe, stay safe out there!

Pretty cool setup 👍

HELLO, VERY GOOD JOB, COULD YOU MAKE A VIDEO SHOWING THIS COMPLETE RACK? GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL

Yes hearing protection i have ringing in the ears constantly from working in engine rooms and motorcycles

Why do you stop on the pull out an inch or so away from the face and re touch in x or whatever it is your doing?JW

Glad you took my personal saftey advice and started wearing short sleeves while operating the lathe. Watch out for those corded earplugs. I would suggest get a pack of disposable ones

What make is your hook chamfer tool....nice

Petty cool Glade you’re staying busy in the shop, Mine is going good and thinking it’s going to get better hopefully things are going to change If you know what I mean Thanks for sharing your skills!

Best possible outcome

Hey a man has to do what you need to do to stay safe! Don’t blame you at all Thanks for sharing your content 👍 You are doing work the way you see fit just like everybody else. I’m tired of some people I know always saying quote ( if I was you I would do this or that) and I tell them if you was me then you wouldn’t have time to be you Lol ! Then they don’t know what to say Stay safe! Thanks!

Good shit man! Ya gotta protect your own!

I would have done the same. Did you get any of your stuff back?

I’m retired military and have a home machine shop, I really enjoy it. That being said I enjoy your content! Just remember you can be a predator or pray. That does not mean you go looking for it. But when the time happens you have to ack decisively- well done. Thanks for all your content so far. Be safe
