Your ability to make the custom tools you need for a job always astounds and delights me. And then you share it with us, which is even better. Thank you!
When I started to watch the video, I wondered how in the world you were going to repair the reflector. Of course, you didn't disappoint. I can understand why you didn't include this footage on your video. Certainly it would have made it longer (which I don't mind), but it really deserves it own video. I am so glad you uploaded this video. Seeing the processes of how you solved the problem is what makes your channel so great. Not to mention, your abilities as a machinist never cease to impress me. They are out of this world! 👋👋👋 You must have footage of your "custom" tool to reshape the bead. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to watch it. 😍😍😍 Nicely done!
I've come to the point where nothing you do surprises me; I simply look at whatever impossible task is before you, and enjoy the education. *God bless.*
Wonderful. Thanks for showing the sequence and giving explanations for lathe setup, configuration and pre-turn steps taken that many disregard as necessary bits. I think those are the bits most likely to frustrate someone when not doing things properly. Seeing the correct sequence being followed by a pro really help and give a renewed sense of respect to your work. Have a good one.
On several different occasions I've needed a radius dresser larger or smaller than what I had available. This is so brilliantly simple! I'm smacking myself in the head for not realizing it myself! I even have a vague memory using a chisel freehand against the tool post bolt for support and yet this very obvious solution never occurred to me. Bravo
I know that this is basically a truism, but too often the simplest, the most obvious solutions, are the most difficult to come up with :) And, among many others, that is the reason why I admire MyMechanics so much, because he is always able to find that "simple" solutions, and he execute them with such grace, conscientiousness, preciseness, and carefully that it is simply pleasure to watch. : )
This is why my math teacher was always mad at me--getting the right answer without showing my work. How did you determine the arc? And how did you calculate the precise length of the support that held your cutting tool? I love these videos and am equally impressed by all the work that goes unshown!
I made a big chocolate expresso and a latte. Well someone else did the actual work and I drank them. Why do I watch your restorations, kind of get pleasure watching how time is spent doing shed like stuff. I can't even make a paper aeroplane get to the other side of my lounge, I made some cress at school though. Repair that and I would go away forever!
Your work is very impressive, I'm here in Brazil and I really like watching your videos, I know your day must be very busy, but you record more videos for us, your work is very beautiful. Congratulations.
If you like to see more about people doing metal restoration of insanely dented metal, just do a search for "English Wheel", its a tool for fixing dented metal parts. There is also a channel called "The Luminary Shop" and that's a guy who does a lot of metal spinning, which is forming complex shapes like this on a lathe. Fascinating to watch.
MM would like to make an English Wheel, just finding room in the shop would be a project on its own. He thought about metal spinning this then realized his big lathe wasn't large enough to actually do the spinning. It was only the configuration of the small lathe that allowed him to polish it like he did.
Hello MR MM. Delighted to watch your beautiful machining work. Thought: is it still called machining if working on wood or plastic? Do you feel in harmony with your surroundings as much as your work appears? This and other deep questions, the mind boggles. Someone HAD to bring up the "hypotenuse" part of it. Yay! Knew it was in there.
If I may ask: Why pre-turn so much of the outside of the plastic cylinder for the anvil? Does it matter if the (apparently) unused outside is turned or not? Thanks for doing these videos -- I love them, even if I don't understand a lot of what's being done! 🙂
I think it's because the reflector has a lip on it. He had to take the radius all the way to the edge to work next to the lip. That's why he milled the flat bit as well.
It would be nice in the future if you show how you get the angles and curvature. Those are the trickiest part. As a side notes... Your videos are truly amazing. What an artist you are. Mesmerising to watch your restoration videos and it is a shame you do so few. But is understandable... Only good project, only few of them to keep the quality high. What do you do for a job?
This is his job. The lamp took 26 days in the shop, over a month of real time. He consults with experts, he looks up the item's historical record if any, and he is very careful how he maneuvers items. I agree with you. His quality is the highest. His shop is not in his home, he has about a 30 min commute one way to get there.
We need a third channel to see how the tools you make to make the tools are made.
🤣🤣🤣
I don't English good. This is unbearable

Wow nice make good job sir thank you so much.
a true artist at work
That handle for the carbide tool is absolutely beautiful.

Hello
@@US-SKILL 👋
This is what I like about your restorations nothing is over looked.
Even the tools you make to make tools look beautiful
Thank you very much :-)
@@mymechanicsinsights especially that handle and everything! It's even polished just wow
The craftsmanship and patience are unbelievable.
FACT
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
Hello
Blown away again. You deserve every single one of your subscribers and millions more. I will share your awesome skills with everyone I meet. Kudos!
Wow, thank you!
A very effective tool, especially in your hands.

As always, your craftsmanship is top notch. Thanks for all you do!
Brilliant solution! Thanks for showing us this part of the build.
My Mechanics es el mejor por mucho. Es imposible ver a otro restaurador una vez que conoces a My Mechanics.
Siiii amigo
Exactamente, no hay otro restaurador como este caballero sueco.
Me atrevo a decir que algunos han mejorado su técnica viendo a este hombre

Hello
i was super impressed when you fixed the reflector in that vid! was nice seeing how you made the part to help do that :D
Nicely done 👍👍👍
WIZARD!!! Flawless, FLAWLESS job, as always!!!
That was the largest hockey puck I've ever seen. 😉 Thanks for showing us how you did the work. Cool video

Dude. That thing looks completely new. Amazing!
You are a madman.
I am always impressed watching you make the things you need to do your restorations.
Hello
This plastic machines really nicely. The surface finish looks great even with no sanding or polishing.
that's what's it is made for. it's a free machining plastic, often found under the trademark delrin
@@toolmike100 TH-cam adds will pay for it ,dont worry . . .
@@zumbazumba1 I'm not worried, I watch stupid people on youtube every day!!
I payed $10 for that big piece
Nice. It would be cool to have a glimpse of the maths and drawings to calculate these specials tools
An explanation of the brilliance. Thanks Mr. My Mechanics 😁. 😎

Awesome as always. A pleasure to watch.
Respect and cheers!
Your craftman skills are out of this world! It is therapy for an Engineer like me :)
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Hello
Wow, better than factory!
Perfection..Just pure perfection. Thank you for another great video.
Thanks again!
Elegant solution. Math is beautiful.
You did a beautiful job with that whole lamp.
Hello
Who do you guys think is the second best restoration channel?
Yeah for real, that’s the only real question.
:-)
Ruthlessly efficient
Nice jig, I wondered how you made the anvil. Fixing the dish was the most crucial part of the restoration. Well done 😎👍
Glad you liked it!
Hello
I'm pretty sure that in the future you'll make tools to restore Thor's Hammer, but where are you going to get the dying star? Just make a new one? :)
Good one 😂

Well done.
Fantastic restoration!
Thanks :-)
Really, really nice repair!!!
Thanks a ton!
I reckon that if Leonardo da Vinci were alive today, he too would be awe struck watching this Master at work.
Восхитительная реконструкция, а теперь и интересный процесс изготовления оснастки.
а вам не кажется что для его уровня это слишком легко и простовато?
Hello
Can't add to what I've already said. Love it, MM.
Thanks a lot Vickie
Nice👍
I was pretty confident that it was CNC-turned when I saw it in the other video some days ago, and thats a good thing😎
I wish, that would've been a lot easier
I would love to see how you restore let's say an old griddle pan and you turn it into such a beautiful lathe. :)
Brilliant work, dude! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much
Impressive, as always!
100%
Thank you very much :-)
I watch your videos often. And I'm sharing it with my friends now they watch all your videos almost. I am from Assam india
Thanks for your support :-)
Thanks
Welcome
Éstos videos y los del canal principal son muuy adictivos 😀
You are metal poet.
Many thanks for watching :-)
Thanks so much. I really like your work bro. Perfect result.
Glad to hear that
Always cool to see your posts!!!!

Impressive work as always!🥃
Thank you! Cheers!
Good thing your just learning how to use that lathe,just imagine what you can do when you do learn LOL.your the man,impressive as always.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Fair enough ;-)
You clever man👍

Whoa, hold up! It's easy to understand how you made the concave anvil. But how did you make the matching convex punch?!
BLACK MAGIC
Extraordinary work! Can you tell us, how you measured the size of the radius?
"It worked very well." Understatement of the millennium.

Very nice
Thanks
재밌습니다 ㅇ

That fixture was pretty clever! I'm the idiot that would have tried to freehand it with a tool rest first.
Thought too at first
I was a little surprised you didn't chuck the reflector in the lathe and do some metal spinning.
My lathe is too small for that
