Currently watching and I just want to say thank you so much for including subtitles and not having background music competing with your voice. I'm partially deaf and most creators seem unfazed that their content is going to be inaccesible to a lot of people.
100% agreed! I'm not hearing impaired but I still hate background music with a passion. It's annoying at best but made me unsub from some really good content creators otherwise because I just can't watch those videos.
@@_Jester_ He's usually pretty good with this kind of thing but I remember one of Adam Savage's videos where he was talking while wearing a full-face respirator and using a rotary tool and I thought, you have far more confidence in my hearing than I, sir. Background music is the same, it's just noise that kills your content unless you've gone down the non-talking My Mechanics kind of road.
The order of operations can be vital. For instance, when to say, "yahtzee". Sometimes, not saying it when you're supposed to say it can cause dissonance and pain for viewers.
I (very amateur machinist) was parting some tubing to length at my local maker space. When I grabbed a hex key to catch the piece I was cutting off the experienced machinist working nearby smiled. When I unthinkingly said Yahtzee as the cut finished he broke out laughing!
People with doctor-calibre handwriting unite! Good thing there's an alphabet of lines, I'd be in trouble if people had to read my handwriting on any regular basis 😅
We've all seen your attempt at using a lathe Bob....... You REALLY need to set aside a day to binge watch Quinn's channel before you break something ! LOL !
Beginning/hobbiest machinists should watch this video a minimum of 3 times, and let everything soak in. Almost everything you said is its own pearl of wisdom, and those of us who learned machining before the years of TH-cam had to "earn" these little pearls of wisdom through (often expensive) failures. Keep up the good work, as always. -Andy
I'm not a machinist. I just do leatherwork, but when you made the comment about riskiest ops first I was thinking, "I do the same thing with leather!" Better to find out you have to chuck a piece early than invest all that time and ruin it at the end.
Excellent video! Many times I have prematurely removed a feature only to discover I needed it later to grip the part in order to finish the job. It is so important to think the job through before making chips.
Blondi you read my mind, i'm just starting to teach myself about and set up a machine shop and I had a mini panic attack the other day thinking about how I didn't understand ANYTHING about order of operations yet. Thank you for a gentle start and making it all feel less overwhelming! I've watched your entire mill and lathe series - killer work.
I love watching Quinn, at one time I was a top notch machinist and worked for several companies. Traded it all in to start my own business and I now do very little machining. I think when I retire I will go back as a hobby. so great seeing a pro at work.
That "Side bar" bit you added about doing tricky features early got a big "Amen" from me. For me, it tends to be any small diameter threaded holes that I get out of the way ASAP. There's nothing worse than putting hours of effort into getting a part dimensionally perfect, only to hear the "Click of doom" right at the end as you snap a 3mm tap off in it. I'd rather cut threads first, even if that means I have to carefully run a tap down the pre cut threads again at the end to clean them back up.
As a neophyte with an 80 year old Craftsman lathe and a Chinese bench top mill, I invariably learn from your videos. Besides that, you're good company. Thanks.
The money phrase for sure 🤣. "the more parts you make, the more you'll understand when and how". Because when you get it wrong it causes you to have to learn a new technique to overcome the problem you've caused yourself. Great vid thanks. I noticed that as a machinist that's learned the old school way, nobody ever actualy taught me specifically about the order of operations. You just sort of realise very quickly that it's about logical progressions and two key parts of a process that enable the whole job to come together just right can be at total opposite ends of the process not seeming connected untill you arrive at a particular piont and suddenly it becomes clear that you really do have to think your plans through.
Very important subject . Very well taught. I can relate to the order of operation as I am a boilermaker, so a fabricator and the sequence of approach each job is the key strategy of success.
This video could be dangerous as a drinking game, like every time Quinn says "Order of Operations" you drink, people could end in the hospital! Hahahha I liked the special VFX used in this episode, so real!
In the beginning days as a student fitter/machinist, our class exercises required that we write down every step in an “order of operations” document. We were expected to write down every step in the process, even scratching your arse as you tried to work out what to do. Trivial things like going to the tool store an to get a tap or spanner were included. It was a tough regime but it taught me valuable lessons!! Stavros
Great video Quinn, I've machined quite a few parts now thanks to these videos. Now I'm hitting dimensions and caring about surface finishes. Thanks for all the great advice!
And if a couple of extra columns were added, you could indicate tools/tooling required, and feeds and speeds. Check availability and do calcs before starting. If you add calculated cutting time, too, you've pretty much recreated what I used to produce for the workshops when I was a planning engineer in a factory.
Quinn, thank you for all of the videos that you've done. I am no means a proffessional machinist, I started when I was about 8 or 9 yo. on a jewlwers lathe my dad had picked up, without a motor, so I was cuttinc brass shell casings literally by hand, anyway, you have taught & shown me many little tricks that make life a whole lot easier, THANK YOU
A good recounting of the rules of thumb so to speak. I will just add that the bigger the project the more the notebook is needed, right up to solid works or autocad. Don't skimp on pencil time.
Forgive me, but the machinist's knowledge you impart here is priceless. Now, for us wee mortals what have only R8 Collets... please speak to R8 Collet blocks.
Congratulations for your work and your perseverance, I started making metal objects for furniture and I can say that from the project to the work and then the video editing I "lose" days ... I hope to make a job of it 😁 these videos deserve with all the work behind it 💪
I was going to make a similar comment. With special effects this good clearly she should be changing careers away from professional hobby machinist on TH-cam.
Yea, I just built a handle for the cross slide knob or wheel. And not thinking, I put a tapper on it before doing other operations. Not a good idea ! But it finally got done dispite my lack of planning and now it's working and spinning and so so much better.
That looks like a nice chuck key. And the thourghts on order of operations is very useful. I have on more than one occassion jumped into a project, starting doing things, and then found that "Ah, now I've not a tapered part, that I can't hold in the chuck" or similar things.
I really enjoy your channel. I love your wit and of course, the instruction is first class. I find myself laughing AND learning which isn't easy to pull off. Thank you
Great video Quinn! Experience (as you say) plays a big part in getting the order of operation right, but these videos also help a lot. I'm starting to think a head more now. In some projects I have deliberately left stock longer all the way through the project because I know that I will need to hold it in one of the final processes.
Insightful and unique vid for your channel- and - I really enjoyed it. I always like to get in the makers head a little and hear what your thinking about while you’re doing what you do. I wouldn’t mind a few more of this style vid moving forward. In a former Air Force life I was a jet engine troop working F-15’s in phase dock where we’d do scheduled inspections with many other specialties working the jet. We always had to plan and schedule who and when for a smooth order of operation for testing and NDI etc. Lots of moving parts. Thanks for your unique and enjoyable videos. You’re one of my favs. Jim in Delaware.
My day job was planning engineer for large civil engineering projects. Its no different when its small. I write down the activities in order and visualise each process before starting. Ime doing an IC cylinder head and its all about reference surfaces and order of process. Too many hours invested in it to mess up at the final cut.
Order of operation would really help a lot when you are doing CNC stuff. Those CAM software are basically a fancy note just like shown in the video that can also calculate machining time!
I would suggect cutting it down to a short length and putting a hex on the opposite end. Then it can be chucked into a cordless drill for a power chuck upgrade.
Order of operation, not many videos about that on TH-cam. It's a think I think most people struggle with. Obviously sitting here watching the videos people produce makes it impractical to gages ovo (Orientation Vectors Operation) that people are taking and there considerations if any. Though most are just hobbiests that do it for fun or a bit of side money. And there parts have 0 for thought of such. Thought I do like the Machining and Radiation channel. There's a lot more thought about ovo in his scrap than I do of my own part. 😆 tangent... this is a great video on Order of operations.
Well, this video came at the right time; Just made 8 very concentric studs in the 4 jaw chuck, only to realize I didnt make the boss on the front of each one 🤦♂️
nice way to explain things al depends on skill set and equipment I would have done some things differently but I have worked in the metal industry for years great vidio
At 7:55 I'm confused. Could Quinn (or somebody else) define "planar concentricity" and "axial concentricity"? I assume that these are colloquialisms that I don't understand. It's my understanding of GD&T that: * 'Concentricity' is a measure of the deviation between centre points of two cylinders, with the datum being the centre point of the plane orthogonal to a cylindrical face. It is "radial symmetry". * 'Coaxiality' is a measure of the deviation between the central axes of two cylinders. The datum is a cylindrical face. Sidebar: * If the datum is an axis, you're specifying 'run-out'. 'Total Indicated Runout (TIR)' is a cheaper tolerance to hit for a functional rotating part (shafts etc.) * Let's ignore 'Cylindricity' and 'Circularity'! Re: the comment policy, I'm not trying to be mean or "mansplain" here, I'm just a confused hobby machinist.
I think you should have also mentioned that the tooling need to be mentioned as well. The tools or quality of the tool also needs to be considered. Thanks for your efforts to educate us
That was an excellent film, thank you. Very useful. And I liked the little software analogy. Is there a 'proper' way to deburr/chamfer cross holes drilled in round bars. It's something I have always found tricky.
"Order of operations" : 36
"Concentricity" : 26
In case anyone's wondering
"decisions"?
I think we got order of operations covered for at least 3 hobbit generations

Great job ! You are the queen !
I actually planned to comment that Bob was gonna love this... Guess I was right, lol.
I always watch Quinn’s channel prior to breaking things because she shows how to fix it.
Quinn - another masterful job of clearly articulating the key elements of a huge subject, with very appropriate visuals, to boot!
"Pedagogical framework". THAT is why you're Awesome Saucesome, Quinn.
When it comes to order of operations, my favorite op, which I like to save until the very end, is the breaking of the tap... :)
Yeah, done that a few times..
😂😂😂
The dramatic re-enactment made me go to tears 😭😂 *drill noise*

It was a tough regime but it taught me valuable lessons!!

Same here, always write down then check before switching the machine on.
This was easily one of the most educational videos I have watched with clear reasoning.
Great video Quinn, I've machined quite a few parts now thanks to these videos. Now I'm hitting dimensions and caring about surface finishes. Thanks for all the great advice!
Awsome special effects!
A shot of your notes (at 17:40) was VERY informative. I learned a lot about how to get the ‘order’ from my thoughts to paper. Thanks,

Great video! Probably YEARS from having any kind of machine shop, but it’s a good lesson in thinking about generic order of operation
Thinking about it. - This could be your best video yet!
The alignment between the flats and the tommy bar is flawless !

@ Quinn: From one geek to another, thank you for reverse engineering some complex choices many of us learn the hard way.
Process of operations.
You do a great job, keep making parts because parts is parts.
I really enjoy your channel. I love your wit and of course, the instruction is first class. I find myself laughing AND learning which isn't easy to pull off. Thank you
Thanks Quinn! Finally got off my arse and made a new chuck key for my Enco. Woohoo, no more smacking my knuckles on the headstock.
Thanks Ms Queenie. That will help my learning process.
This was a very thoughtful, thought-provoking video. Order of operations is such a tricky thing in so many fields.
For sure. I'm teaching myself how to sew, and choosing what gets done, when, makes a big difference.
Great video Quinn! Experience (as you say) plays a big part in getting the order of operation right, but these videos also help a lot. I'm starting to think a head more now.

Thanks for another informative video. A big plus in the new key, is that it’s longer.
Fantastic video explaining order of operations
Great teaching !! Order of Operations is very important . Thank you for your videos !!
Having screwed up "order-of-ops" so many times, I now write them down, before I start.
Thanks for a good video.
Love that intro... And the Hollywood cgi too!
Quinn, you are my spirit animal! Your projects are truly inspirational, and it's your fault that I have a lathe and a mill in my basement! :)
Great rundown, thanks for teaching us.

Put the old chuck key in the scrap metal drawer, there`s bound to be something in the future you will use it on.
I would suggect cutting it down to a short length and putting a hex on the opposite end. Then it can be chucked into a cordless drill for a power chuck upgrade.
