The "art deco" feature is just an engineered failure point to prevent damage from over-tightening the crank handle. It will break off if too much torque is applied!
I think adding a couple of more "art deco" features would be very stylish! Give it a racing stripe look. BTW, the overall speed handle is very nice. Well done!
The bending block "issue" reminded me of all the times that I've carefully connected wiring harnesses, checked that everything is working as expected, and then realized that I was supposed to run the wires *through* a hole or duct before making the connexion. I think we've all been there. At least your block was aluminium and not too difficult to destroy: the end result looks really good.
We all did a variation of that. ESPECIALLY when soldering connectors.. like XLR.. forget the connector housing and you win a redo. same with the shrinktube to hold the labels on.. etc
Having worked in control systems and automation for 30+ years I have seen that done many times. The best of all time however was the maintenance guy who decided to gas axe part of a RHS frame that was also used as a wiring duct. And yeah it took a bit to fix.

As soon as you started describing your little trick for making a nice bend, I remembered the teaser and said "oh no." This is the machinist's equivalent of building a boat in your basement that's bigger than the door, or doing your soldering without running the wires through the holes in your case first.
i hope you appreciate the extra views, ive been wathing this build series to get to sleep and im on about my fifth watch because i fall asleep halfway through! love the content, I hope you and sprocket are having a good day.
Deduct 20 points.... For using a CLAW HAMMER in the machine shop.... LoL....! Enjoyed the part about the "non- removable" bending fixture. Thanks for sharing that part....! We all do it! Nice looking handle, I like the deviation from the plan.... I built this type of Drill Press Vices, with no plans, just saw it on OX-Tools and built it.... Good project.... Keep up the good work!!!
Very nice handle Quinn! Finally jumped the ditch and moved to NZ from Aus to be with my partner and she watched this one with me. She loves the facing cuts ;) and said you make machining very easy to understand :) so nice to know its not just us hobby machinists who find your videos easy to interpret. Hope youre well! Great work!
I once was fabricating something that had awkward bits sticking out so I used a shop chair to hold them up. After lots of welding, I realized my fabricated thing was interlocked with the shop chair. So I took a break to calm down and my wife - who noticed the little storm cloud over my head - asked what was wrong. I said, “Do you want see something really stupid that I did.” And her instant answer was, “Always.” Sharing my mistake did help calm me down.
Your videos are relaxing and while I don't machine metal, there's a definite satisfaction in seeing parts come together. I'm glad you leave the "oopsies" in as well. I always add extra decorative features when I'm doing any kind of illustration. Yep. Meant to do that. 😳
Absolutely outstanding and I really enjoyed watching it and the way you explained everything. It was my first time seeing you and I can assure you it won’t be the last .
Ah, the joy of decrypting the engineering drawing into a useful shop drawing, with the dimensions you *actually need* to/from places that actually exist on the work! (or possibly not, or just until the next operation wipes it out)
Quinn , I like the idea of the aluminum block (two piece next time ) it gave you a nice smooth bend . your method gives far better detail then just heating it up in the jaws of the vise and bending it over. you always do nice work ...
That is a good looking, and nicely functional speed handle. Or, in my native West Virginian, "That's purdy and it works good too." Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.
14:55 I was like "No, she won't.....NO, SHE CAN'T...." :-) epic! Reminds me of a construction drawing I did once back at tech school of a part of a large steel bridge, featuring a "lost welder" inside that part.... just like a lost pattern in a casting.
Thanks for sharing every mistake and the solutions. It was also nice to see you doing more "seat of the pants" low precision stuff. That's kinda the way I work too. Nice choice to make the handle from brass! :)
For the first time ever (and only time?) I was ahead of you on the 5 degree, 10deg, 20deg thing. Smug feeling... but for sure spinning finger-grips are the way to go. Just done it for my Taig lathe on carriage and cross-slide, and they feel like Rolls Royce cranks now (but how would I know??). Thanks Quinn. Les in UK
Does Rolls Royce actually manufacture the special tooling for working on their engines or do they contract it out to other companies? (I can't think of any reason why a modern aircraft engine would have a manual crank, so I'm assuming you're referring to the cranks on the tooling.)
@@NiHaoMike64 Well, like I said, “How would I know?” I had a friend who worked with RR (cars), and I learned Morse Code at RR Barnoldwick Radio Club (aero engines) but I never got to work on RR machinery myself. I do have a great and functional knob on my Morse key made in the Barnoldswick tool-room though👍😁 Les
I would have been tempted to melt the block off the handle. But then I'd probably calm down and hack it off like you did. Nice modification to the plans.
Very nice. I finished putting all the bolts back in my door panel Saturday just to have to pull it off again because I forgot to plug my wire harness in through a hole in the side you could only get to with it off we all overlook things from time to time.
One day I will have a lathe, and another day I will also have a mill, and at that time watching all this will be more than just incredibly enjoyable. My excuse for not having the tools yet…. I’m waiting for the video where Quinn show the dating method for scribed lines on drill bit. It was so obvious when she said it was “the newest” one, but we didn’t get to see the dating mark - guess there are some secrets being kept
Now THIS gives me an idea for a new handle for something in my shop that's irritated me for a long time. I think I'll make a two-part bending block though! Of course, I could just melt the aluminium away once the bend is done....
I made one of these back when Mr Pete did his video. The first one I put a 90 degree bend in the crank handle just as he did. The only problem with that is If the vice is laying on the drill press table and the handle is not hanging off the side of the table and you need to tighten or loosen the vice when you flip the handle the bent end is facing the vice and very difficult to maneuver. I rebuilt the handle and took the 90 degree bend out and it worked much better for me. But that is very nice touch you added to your handle.
I am really enjoying your videos, they fit quite snugly into my unrequited love of machining. In my profession, you have to have tools that you can carry on a plane, and the opertunities to work with lathes and milling machines, don't present themselves that often. Watching your videos therefore are a much needed tonic.
For the bend, a bar/tube with a bell-mouthed hole in the end would give the leverage and radius for the bend, and slip off the part when done. Heat like you did would keep the bend localized.
Wtf since year's I have this on my list but I need blondi to start the project because watching her made me really wanna do it now 😂 She even showed me how to improve it ... I'm feeling that I'm getting old right now 😂...✌️👍 Thanx blondi love your vids 😇

+1 on an axial movement limit. I think it's fine the way it is, but I definitely would have thought about it for way too long, set the project aside for a few weeks because I wasn't happy with it and didn't have any good ideas, and then made is way harder to machine with something crazy like captured split rings.
13:40 I would have seen this as you correctly did. The .610 dimension in the drawing is clearly pointing and referenced on the spherical curve. Not on the later existing geometry of your cut. The drawing or the dimensioning should be corrected. Well spotted, Quinn. 👍
Hey Blondi. This was a great video. You made one on buying an import lathe, but it would be great if you could do one on import milling machines. Thanks again for all your interesting and informative videos.
Beautiful speed handle! I wonder, wouldn't lock-tite instead of anti-size be called for on the screw? To prevent the screw from backing out when turning clockwise?
The "art deco" feature is just an engineered failure point to prevent damage from over-tightening the crank handle. It will break off if too much torque is applied!
So it's a torque limited float lock vice (tm) ?
Right, in German we call that "Sollbruchstelle". Perfectly legit!
I think adding a couple of more "art deco" features would be very stylish! Give it a racing stripe look. BTW, the overall speed handle is very nice. Well done!

Or wiring an electrical plug and forgetting to slide the body on the wire first, something I’ve never done 😏

Nice work Quinn!
Great video , thanks Quinn
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one whose projects feature “unscheduled Art Deco details.” I choose to like them.
Aluminium bondage, just the thing for a handle that needs a kink?
16:35 kudos for showing a lesson, Quinn ! The only people that don’t make mistakes are the people that do NOTHING !
19:40 Spiffy handle .
Just WOOW... and that "art deco womans touch"... Quinn You are amazing...
10/10 would definitely have done the block trick exactly as you did...with the same results LOL
Maybe that's why I like watching Machining so much. My little art deco soul finds joy in the forms.
You make my weekend Quinn!
lol "Who Didn't See That Coming" Good Job. Keep up the good work
After making a couple of mistakes I'm glad you didn't get too cranky making your crank. Nice work.
Great handleQuinn. Thanks for the video 👍🇦🇺
And the relationship between machinist and designers thickens. Great to point to not reference from an angled, non flat surface.
Very nice !! It's been a pleasure. Thank you !
That intro!!! That's what I want to see every time. Great!
It's different in your world when you wake up cranky.... nice video !!!

Great job as usual. Funny with the captured bend lol 😂 when u set it up I was like something doesn’t look ohh no lol
Nicely done. And the brass will develop a nice patina with time and use.

@@impetus444 My first instinct was to burn the shop down but eventually I settled on strategically cutting the piece apart and rewelding.
I always learn new techniques from your videos and this was no exception. This was great! Thanks Quinn.
Art Deco works every time! File it under creative discretion! Good work Quinn! Nobody was looking at the aluminum block, nope, nobody!
That sure is one groovy handle you made there!
I see what you did there. 😏

For the bend, a bar/tube with a bell-mouthed hole in the end would give the leverage and radius for the bend, and slip off the part when done. Heat like you did would keep the bend localized.

15:35 - nice one. Could have been me 😅
Kudos for showing the "human" moment with the bending block!

When you made the bend with the aluminum block on, I would have done the same thing! Great video!
Excellent!
Very nice work :-) I learn a ton from your videos, Thank you
