Some STYLISH Hold Down Clamps || INHERITANCE MACHINING

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- A while back I spent the better part of a week in the machine shop making a universal fixture plate. It was something I thought would see a lot of use. But since finishing it, it hasn’t left its home in the cabinet. Not even once! But I think I know why… for a fixture plate to be useful one needs a variety of clamping tools to hold material to it. And as it stands, I only have one style of clamp ready to go. So that’s my challenge this week. To make a set of hold down clamps. While I’m at it, I might as well add some unique features to make them a bit more useful. And of course I can’t resist the urge to make them a bit stylish!

I don't think any of us are questioning what you are thinking. It would be absurd to have a plain off the shelf clamp with the bespoke tools you've made. It's like asking Clickspring why he polishes every surface meticulously. :D
That's a very good point and I completely agree 😂 though if I polished my tools like Chris, I could almost guarantee I would never use them!
Clickspring actually mentioned why he does that in one of his recent videos. True, part of the answer was "Because that's what I do," but another aspect is that his background is clock making and fine fit and finish is important in that field (his words).
@@InheritanceMachining😢
I honestly love watching the drafting table work. It’s unique in the TH-cam machining channels.
There's a good reason nobody does it anymore 😂 Thank you!
In my last years as a tool and die maker I had a drafting table (actually known as a drafting machine) placed right beside my bench to design my jigs, fixtures and dies on. Once CAD became popular all the company drafting tables became obsolete and were thrown out. They’re nevertheless marvelous machines and time savers for hobby machine shops.
@@InheritanceMachining perhaps, but like manual machining is great to see it done. Reminder of how we did things before computers took over everything.
I appreciated the compass scrip in layout fluid for the radius in the end too. No one shows layout work instead relying on a DRO anywhere. Not everyone has a DRO on their mill/lathe.
@@TEDodd this old tony has used layout fluid in many of his vids, but your right, not many youtubers use that stuff.
I also appreciate seeing the old drafting board being used. You can make drawings as good and professional looking as cad with enough expertise, i think. Physical drawings obviously have their limitations, but its how everything was designed pre-cad. Break out your slide ruler.
@@ctdieselnut I've seen him use a little here and there, but not a full layout for mill work. And many will use something on a lathe (lots of Sharpes) to show stop points as a visual reference, but they rely on a DRO for the actually stop.
I think it would nice to see channels that are vintage/manual oriented actually use the techniques from 50 years ago instead of adding and relying on modern DROs for everything. Like manual drafting vs CAD, it good to remember the old methods. Could be handy when things breaks.
Watched one guy with an old drawing meant for manual layout and he complained about it not all being referenced from a single point. So he redrew in CAD to reference that way and did the entire project with the drawing and DRO. No marks anywhere to even check he was in the right spot. (Of course he also converted all the fractional inches to meters too)
This is not just making parts, this is artistry. Thank you sir for sharing your projects with us!
partistry
I do my best 😁 Thanks!
@@paulblose Indeed!
It is likely just my mind being in the gutter, but I audibly chuckled at "Yup, that's adequately grippy."
Absolutely beautiful.
I can't wait for the next project. You're my favorite machinist channel for a very good reason. You never disappoint.
Thanks as always, Clyde!
I bet he's related to Aussie Chris of Clickspring. Ah, these brass aficionados.
Gods, everytime you use that drafting table, it makes me miss Intro to Engi Design...the precision of a well made design draft is SO SATISFYING.
As a retired machinist, I get the same satisfaction watching as you get completing your project. Only a machinist would understand. 😂😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😂 surprisingly I hear from a lot of non-machinist that feel the same way!
Once again you have made everything I've ever machined look like a dog chewed it. Well done sir. My build of the week was welding up a series of reclaimed bed frames into a sweet wood storage rack for my garage. It tripped the wood storage in my garage solving some long standing issues and cost me $10 in materials. Maybe I'll put some brass knobs on it to make me feel better lol
Same here...and while I was making some iron similar I was thinking of this channel and how I'm such a hack.
Very resourceful! Though if you add brass knobs you'd blow all that savings out of the water 😂 But seriously, thanks for the kind words 🙏
Brass knobs make everything better 😊
Your hand drawn designs are a thing of beauty all in themselves.
To watch them then become a three-dimensional, tangible work of art is incredibly satisfying.
I aso love the calming tone of your videos and the fact you don't shy away from mistakes or side projects, we all have them! 👍
As a CAM engineer, watching you on your manual journeys is very humbling... I'm sure your grandfather would be proud of you.
Kudos to you, keep up the good work my friend.
Good luck. 🙏💪
Thanks so much!
Yes!!! Every one of your videos is just so well done and entertaining. Your seriously making amazing content and I’m stoked on every new release!!!
Addicted to this channel here the last 3 months. Makes me relax and learn
Thank you so much!
@@smartgorilla me too, there are video's I've watch several times. When nothing interesting comes up, I go here and watch some previous video's.
@@roelofliebenberg2880 it even auto played for me the other day too. This is what I should have studied in life. Hands on and brain work. Love the drawing and detailed work.
Friday evening, wife is busy with Patterns for sewing.
I have the remote to the TV, a cold beer & my feet up in my favourite armchair.
To complete this paradise feeling is another Masterpiece of Engineering delivered in the best Narrative style on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for making my Friday Evening fantastic.
Absolutely my pleasure, man! Thanks for being here
Brass is truly the machinist's gold. I like how it contrasts with oxidized and fresly cut steel.
I really is. I use it every chance I get (when I can afford it of course 😂)
Your precision and pride in your work is intensely satisfying!
thank you 😊
Few things are as satisfying to see the shop tools get some love. ^^
I cant get over how beautiful your creations are.
You're extremely talented - but I think i know your secret sauce... The planning. The effort and amount of work you put in prior to making chips is incredible, and it shows.
Also, that lockout tag is great 😂
That's my grandfather! 😁 Yes the planning is definitely a huge part in anything I make coming out presentable. Both so I know what I am actually making, and so I know how I will film it. Thanks!
Having done manual drafting through my early career. An old time drafter I worked with taught me to rotate the pencil as you drew the line to ensure the point remained sharp and a constant thickness. Good to see you doing the same thing. Great channel and look forward to your videos
Me too. As the formats progressed to ink, crayon on mylar was the epitome of being able to draw fast (rotating the holder) without breaking the 'crayon'. Nice thing though was also the ability to erase without messing up the surface. You simply rubbed out a mistake with water. I have a permanent dent in my middle finger. As for time: The actual drawing time for these would be pretty quick. Research and calcs would take 2x the actual. He is drawing on vellum, may want to consider the more temp. stable mylar. Remembering now: To save the vellum expense I would have students draw the entire project on bum wad. Temp and humidity excluded, the trace approved then, the execution of the final drawing would be done. For the actual drafting example shown: 30min max. The mistakes on execution made while I was viewing: Cringe factor 5. Do people really want to watch drafting? I was looking at my collection of beam compasses, ships curves, pink triangles, green iso templates, erasing shields, vemco compasses, w&g scales, dietzgen, the old Hamilton table. Hmm. And, I'm a lefty so, that doesn't work really well for demonstrations... Plus, It was hard to be a bent over asshole and elbow all day! Excellent video anyway.
😁 Thanks! That technique definitely makes a difference
I have a machinist's challenge for you - create something that looks like a hand sketch.😬
This 😂
As you've said, it's called a hand sketch and he made alot of those, there are some in this video even :)
@@heitorgoku no I mean exactly like a loosely sketched drawing. Ain’t done that yet
@@kz6fittycent As in like non parallel sides, unsquare corners etc?
@@kz6fittycent look at 4:10 should pay more attention
It's that engineering degree again. The thought process you have is impeccable. Us mere mortals wouldn't last a second in your brain. Every video you make I impatiently wait for. Yet again... beautiful creations and down to earth work that show you can make mistakes, and still deliver. I wish I had your shop.
It's a blessing and a curse 😂 but seriously thank you!
The beauty of your work reaffirms my decision to stick with woodworking. I'll remain happy with 1/16" or 1/8" precision and simply enjoy machining vicariously through your channel.
Now you can display them in a glass case on black velvet like the jewelry they are. Outstanding craftsmanship Brandon, I wish your Grandpa could see what you are doing with your inheritance.
Art from Ohio
Maybe that should be my next project 😉 Thanks, Art!
if I was given a penny for every time you put a chamfer on something, I'd be a trillionaire.
Best part of my every other Friday. I love the scallops!!
😁 Thanks!
Always more satisfying to use stuff youve made yourself in the shop, they are fancy indeed!
makes all the effort worth it! Thanks
This is a outstanding job.
Great and very useful idea.
The esthetics are very pleasing.
Intricate and fully functional.
Thanks for sharing this process.
Take care, Ed.
My pleasure, Ed. Thanks!
Literally just checked your channel 45 minutes ago to see if you posted & then boom 20 minutes later you did. Always look forward to watching these! I literally just dropped some drawings off at my local machine shop wishing i could do it myself like you do!
I've been in that same boat so many times myself. I'd even imagine the process I would take to make some parts haha Thanks for keeping an eye out for this vid!
Your attention to the details is inspiring. As always; fantastic show!
Much appreciated!
The drafting table ASMR was awesome!!! Great video as always
Thanks!
This is museum quality work! I so appreciate your work. I know your Grandfather is watching from above!
Thanks, Jim!
Dude. That. is. awesome. You have given all of us a new bar. What I love about your channel is that it's 90% your design and careful planning and attention to detail. I can only imagine the sweat and tears that go into making a video like this on top of the amazing work you are doing. The parts look unreal, the narration is too easy. thanks for sharing! By far my favorite channel.
You are very kind! Thank you! The video side of things is definitely the hard part for me so it's encouraging to hear that from you
Hey there! Glad to see you making your own hold downs.
Made some myself not to long ago... Nothing like the feeling of making your own tools.
One little tip from my end. I know that it is always in the "quick and dirty" bank to hold an endmill in a jacob's chuck.... But I would really recommend against it. The cutting forces are so much higher than a drill and the clamping forces are low and uneven. It can be very inaccurate (i know it didn't matter on this one) but also dangerous to person/part/tooling alike. (think tool slipping, binding, breaking)
I like a morse taper with a bore and a close fit bushing. A grub screw holds it in place on a flat present on many larger HSS endmills. It will run slightly larger on most c'bores do to the screw... but is usually passable or accountable for.
As ever, love what your doing and I can't wait to see what's next!. Thanks for your work!
Good call there! If I was going any serious plunging in a harder metal I probably would have taken the time to come up with something more robust. Might actually be a good idea to make some sort of collet adaptor for the tailstock for just this purpose. Thanks!
I love watching the manual drafting that I learned 50 years ago.
Another amazing video, well done. Also, wanted to say thank you, when I first found your video I didn't really care about machining or anything like it, I had interest in some traditional work a long time ago but that's it and your videos got me so interested that I'm currently waiting for the wood to arrive for my first woodwork project. I probably wouldn't have had the interest in "making things" without your videos =).
That's one of the best things I could hear, honestly. I find making things so rewarding and therapeutic and I love hearing that others are getting into it as well. Good luck on your first build!
Do you chamfer the crust on your sandwiches?
All 4 edges on both sides
Hands down the most satisfying, soothing thing to watch after a long day! Thank you for your content!
So nice to watch your videos. Every time I receive an alert from your tube, I'm already sure it will be a wonderful evening for me.
Thank you Sir!
My pleasure! Thank you as well
The hold down clamps are beautiful. In fact, they look far too nice to ever use them. I'd just put them aside for display and make another set for use. Those clamps are so nice looking that people who don't even know what they are used for would appreciate them.
p.s. - I've never been a fan of the low cost standard clamp set. They do not always properly fit the height of the work piece and they become deformed over time, making them even worse to use.
That's a hurdle I'll have to cross eventually haha Thanks a bunch!
Chamfer Level: 1000
I really love watching you use all the tools you have made over time. It's becoming my favorite parts of your videos.😀
Thanks! It's always satisfying when I have the perfect use for a tool I made. Makes all the effort worth it!
I know next to nothing about machining yet I love the videos you make. There is something really nice about seeing someone create something that is functional, precise and beautiful. Seeing your work made me realize how much thought is put into designing objects whose fabrication process is well structured, efficient, and precise. Seeing these designs come to life is always satisfying and relaxing.
First! TH-cam, do algorithm things
Totally OTT for a set of clamps but a real work of art. MAGNIFICENT. A pleasure to watch and nicely edited with explicit commentary with boringly making up watch hours of machining.
One of my favorite parts of these videos as a long time viewer is seeing you use tools I watched you make in previous videos. The hammer and center-cut saw. Thinking about you recording them on your recently completed camera boom setup. Your channel is a true joy.
You sir are a master of your craft.. I find your videos mesmerizing.. I only wish I had seen this kind of stuff earlier in my life.. I would have loved to study with a master such as yourself.. I’m 55 and am worried that I am too old to try to begin to get near being as good as you are.. so I will enjoy your videos in amazement and hopeful you are able to continue to pass this vast knowledge to carry on this skill.. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us..
Once a again a shop project of striking beauty! The combination of steel and brass is magical and with the black accents of the screws it's a proper piece of art. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
You are such a craftsman. These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Absolute chefs kiss, remarkable, exquisite!
MORE DRAFTING ASMR PLEASE!!!!! Those clamps turned out awesome!!!
Simply beautiful. Thanks for adding a little more of the drafting. I really enjoy it.
My pleasure! Thanks
These videos are always a treat. Thank you
Those are the most beautiful clamps I've ever seen!
You are now added to my list of machining heros on YT. Your Grand Dad has to be looking over your shoulder and whispering in your ear how incredibly proud he is of you and how happy he is to see his tools being used to make beautiful projects. I can't wait to see what you do next and what I can learn from from your great talent. Stay well and keep up the great work. Oh - and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us.
I really appreciate that, Joe! Thank you
I’m in awe 🎉 Fell in love with Paige’s channel & miss the content. However, if one had to end, what a treat to earn a glimpse into a world that I’ve never known! Who wishes every kid in school had an opportunity to explore machining?
Thank you for making these videos, they are so pleasant and calming to watch.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
The fact that you do all the drawings by hand just amazes me, looks incredible.
Those knobs are AMAZING! By far my favorite thing you've made so far. Absolutely incredible.
A thumbnail the finished product along with the drawings would be the icing on the cake
I love working with brass. The insane amount you can take off with a single pass truly is wonderful.
I love the side project counts. I feel like I need this counter for my life, one for at work and one for at home. 😆
It's like a competition to see who has the most (or least) side projects in life. Not sure who the winner would be though 😂 Thanks
Content quality on this channel is astounding. And cherry on top - intro always being takeouts from the project, not some generic, always the same intro. Hats off!
Credit for all that goes to my wife 😁 Thanks!
The side projects in these videos are amazing!!! I love them and enjoy them as much as th main mission.
Most beautiful hold downs ever made.
it was so good seeing you again. i didnt realize how much i missed that opening music until id heard it. really soothed my mind on whats been a rough couple of days. thank you, i really needed that 😊
Been a while hasn't it? 😊 Glad to share. Thanks!
brilliant i love machining and just watching you work is mesmerizing
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Plus the learning and getting to see the beautiful results of your amazing work. Thank you.
Thank you as well!
Thanks for the video. Love the production values. Look forward to the next project. Keep safe and stay well.
Thanks!
I'm not even a machinist or engineer, i'm a 3d hard surface artist and i'm basically addicted to these machining videos, so damn good!
Absolutely beautiful! Nice little teaser for what's next! Can't wait!
Love love the sound effect you’re adding subtitles on
Table squeaks 😅 brilliant!
It’s brilliant to attract deaf people to watch your work!
Keep it coming! ❤
Believe it or not the captioning service I use added that all on their own! 😂 Glad to hear they are helpful for folks!
Pretty cool seeing someone draft up some prints the old way. Haven’t seen that since high school 25 years ago. It’s a lost art.
Great workmanship. Hardcore dedication that you take the time to hand draw each design.
This was a joy to watch! Even for me!
Can’t imagine how joyful it was for you to make them. And you also get to smile every single time you use then! Lucky man.
Now all that’s missing is a proper box in which to keep them.
Hats off, sir!
You are right I'm going to need a box or something! Thanks!
I have been waiting for your next video, and its finally here. As I expected it did not disappoint, this is the reason your channel is one of my favorites. I hope you keep making videos for a very long time. Thank you for the entertainment.
My pleasure! Thanks for handing in there!
Excellent your work should be in a museum beautiful
There's nothing like the sound and feel of a good sharp pencil on paper. kids nowadays always use tablets and too many electronics, they just don't get the chance to feel the satisfaction of pressing lead to paper and watching your design come to life with your own hands. I have nothing against AutoCAD, I'm certified in it also, but I just love the feel of pressing a pencil and watching my drawings come to life.
This channel is good for my soul on a level I don't fully comprehend. Stunning work as usual.
😊 Thanks!
As always, beautifull!!! 👍, I really enjoy seeing you discovering, restoring an using all those marvelous tools you have from the 50s or so, I feel your grandfather was a very interesting person to know and I like to see those "world" of enjoyment (in form of "talking" tools) in good hands! TKS for the videos, regards from Bolivia.
Thank you very much!
When you have the ability to make the tools for making tools you are on a whole new skill level. Very impressive. I'm sure your Grandfather would be very proud of your accomplishments.
Just love it ,there's a true zen thing going on here .
that's art right there.
very nice work.
your grandfather would be proud.
thank you 🙏
I have so.much respect for your hand drawn technical drawings ❤ absolutely gorgeous
Thank you 🙏
This man does not make tools he creates functional art 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Can’t wait to see your simple yet extremely complicated take on a ball turner lol
😁
I came across your channel a few months ago and now always look forward to your new uploads! Fantastic content, simple to follow but still complex, great narration and visuals, everything about it is great. I'm an engineer as well but have no background in machining and yet still enjoy watching. Well done!!
Thanks for the support and kind words, man! If you like watching machining I wouldn't be surprised if you find yourself dabbling in it as well!
Accurate designs, accurate execution, accurate photography .. Thank you for these wonderful videos ❤❤
And thank you for the kind words!
In the long run, your machine shop will become the fanciest in existence!
I can only dream haha
About time we missed your relaxing projects.
Very beautiful clamps. Thanks for making a video on them.
My pleasure. Thanks!
Easily one of your top 3 projects. Gorgeous.
Your grandfather made the right decision leaving his machines in your care. You're doing him and yourself proud! Good for you!
Thanks, Bill!
wow…. those are gorgeous! Fantastic job!
These clamps are artful pieces of holding kit. Perfect for my CNC t-slot bed. I’m inspired to make a set with brass t-nuts and brass hold down feet like yours.
Nice! These would be perfect for something like that. Thanks!
Man listening to him Narrate reminds me of watching “how it’s made”, my brother and I use to watch it like crazy
I love how the intro to the video actually pertain to the video. Most of all other pages have the same intro no matter what
They look perfect! Nicest clamps I’ve ever seen. Amazing work again!
Thank you!!
Just love the brass and steel combo. Looks retro, and a little steampunk 👍😀
Thank you for keeping more drafting footage in. It's so satisfying to watch, and it gives me such nostalgia for my architectural drawing classes in high school *cough30* years ago
😂 my pleasure. Believe it or not I had 4 years of drafting in high school as well. Probably one of the last programs at the time
Nicely expedited. Form + function - they look great and they work great. And the brass hatching on your drawing is correct too!
I'd be lying if I said I knew that hatch pattern by heart haha thanks as always, Mike!
Oh my word those are gorgeous! Wow, just wow!
Thanks!
I cannot wait to see what your next project will be!
From design to final result these are by lightyears the most beautiful set of Hold Down Clamps i have ever seen. The brass really adds such a classy look to the clamps and the amount of thought that went into them is inspiring. Thank you as always for sharing!
Thanks Charl! The next one is a doozy! Though I never intended for it to be 😂
@@InheritanceMachining nothing you cant handle I'm sure🥳🥳
All the best!
The lobed, knurled, and chamfered knobs are a work of art.
