I was always jealous of the kids who got to do shop class. Now I'm working as a general laborer in a machine shop as I start my new career path in machining at the age of 49. Better late than never.
After 55+ years in the trade, I still like watching your videos because often the most important things you learn are the things learned after you know it all.
HI MARC, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BE A VIRTUAL TEACHER, I AM SO GLAD TO KNOW YOU . ACTUALLY I WORK IN MACHINE SHOP BUT I ONLY RUNNING A MACHINE AND I KNOW THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFULLY ,, ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I have been a machinist for going on thirty years. I have worked on just about everything imaginable. I enjoy watching your videos and the basic approach you take on all aspects machining. Novice or not there are many things that you can learn or refresh yourself with by watching you. This is a great series as are all your videos.
Thank you for the video series. It must have been quite a challenge getting all of these uploaded. I'm just starting my journey through the videos and enjoying them thoroughly. Thank you!!
Its thanks to channels like yours im a machinist i watched mrpete222 and aboms channels and brought a lathe and lerned now its my job i work for an engineering firm making hydraulic rams but u wouldnt believe the wide variety of things i get to make(30cal simulators/ harley parts/ parts for tanks and fire brigades) and it started with youtube and a beat up boxford lathe i broufht for £100 channels like these really are gold added about £5000 a year to my wage i recomend any one to watch and really listen it can change your life
I am building an airplane and plan on making a second in the future. This is what I needed to do for that second airplane. Thank you for your professional layout. I always wanted to teach AC/Heat in a college myself. Congrats on your retirement!
What happened to shop class in high school? I don't buy the it got cut budget excuse. It doesn't hold up against scrutiny. In high school I felt blessed because we had drafting, welding, sheet metal, foundry, and wood working in our school. For machining or automotive we had what was called vocational technical education/career development curriculum.
Love that comment at 22:03 "Don't start off by making parts for your helicopter ..." That is what i do! Thanks Marc, now I'm in " Auto-Rotate"! I am looking forward to this series! Yes, I'm still awake, kinda.
I never realized that I was removing metal with precision. I'll have to go to work tomorrow and check. So nice to see you doing more teaching, being of service to us beginners (I suspect the advanced ones are also freshening up on what they slept through in class back in the 50's) and, well, just looking healthy. Thanks for sharing.
Size is important! Your shop is about right for most hobby projects both physically & expense wise. Most people make the mistake of buying too big & find out they can't move or power their machines not to mention very few people will ever work on large parts. A 9x20" lathe, mill/drill, 4x6 bandsaw, light mig, tig or stick welder plus a large budget for cutting bits & tooling is the best way to go. Two men & a hand truck can move them almost anywhere & they will run off 110/120 power.
Marc, Thanks for another great video, I am from the land down under (Australia) and it was good to see you right way up LOL. I follow a few machinists on youtube and find that watching yours and others gives me a greater understanding of machining and its very entertaining as well. After all ,you have got have fun sometimes and get a laugh when you can. Thanks for producing such great content and keep up the good work, Keith
You certainly have allot of great video's, a great source of information. I have a metal lathe and milling machine as well as all the wood machines. Use the metal machines all the time to make things I need.
Hi Marc looking forward to this series. It struck me that you made such a point about beginners. You always made the impression of a man with a Buddhist-mind set and in this philosophy there is no such thing as beginnings and endings. It is al about the now. And now I am really looking forward being taught! thx Teun (the Netherlands)
Clear and concise. Love your work. Sound quality is still a bit average but that could be because I'm down under, a lot of stuff from your side of the world seems to be echoed down here. Regards,Tom
Hi Elsi! Over here it is 10 AM so I am guessing that you are from the middle east? I have nine videos about materials, they can be found on page two of my web page THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM . The first one is MATERIALS ONE and the ninth is MATERIALS TESTING. You may also want to check out CHIPS , SPEEDS AND FEEDS PART ONE AND PART TWO on the same page as the materials videos. if this does not answer your questions, let me know. Marc
J'apprécie la structure de vos vidéos. TH-cam favorise l'apprentissage mais vos vidéos offre la cohésion, le ciment qui donne un sens à des connaissances qui seraient autrement "décousus". Merci
Salut Marc! Il est possible de voir mes vidéos en français aussi (Français signifie pour moi Québécois) sur mon site we THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM Merci pour le beau commentaire, et bon usinage, Marc
I made several parts but not all. We had a team of really great machinists working on the model's (there was eventually two produced). The parts that I am the most proud of are the engine air intakes. For that time (early eighty's) we were on the cutting edge of 3D profiling with cad and numerical control machines. It was very exiting and the crew (about ten guys in all) were incredible. I was just finishing my apprenticeship, the journeymen, the foreman and the director placed their confidence in me and I can't be thankful enough. There are moments (and projects) that change your life and this one did, it took us six months and a lot of overtime to complete the fully instrumented model, it was great fun, I learnt so much. Marc
As a beginner myself, for a lathe, one of the most helpful books for me was South Bend's "How to Run a Lathe". Most of the information can be applied quite easily to non-South Bend machinery. When single point threading, just make sure you know if you have a metric or imperial lead screw so you know when it's OK to disengage the half nut.
I'm 37 you think is too late for me? No college only high school have tree kids and a mortgage. I have worked at a bank for the past 17 years. I want to start a new career tired of banking what u think?
Well Mark I will never try to pronounce your last name again I wasn't even close Well here we go with the hard part of my learning thanks for trying for me
Yes! I am redoing from scratch the four first theory videos because the originals really sucked! The next on the chopping block is the "safety part one" video. I hope that the new versions suck a little less. Marc
I was always jealous of the kids who got to do shop class. Now I'm working as a general laborer in a machine shop as I start my new career path in machining at the age of 49. Better late than never.
I chose other classes besides shop class and I really regret it. 29 now and looking to get into the trade with zero experience
After 55+ years in the trade, I still like watching your videos because often the most important things you learn are the things learned after you know it all.

Crash85 good work sir!
Crash85 im looking into learning to be a machinist. What other channels did you watch if i may ask?
I am building an airplane and plan on making a second in the future. This is what I needed to do for that second airplane. Thank you for your professional layout. I always wanted to teach AC/Heat in a college myself. Congrats on your retirement!
i start Machine Tool Tech at local CC in the fall, this is my second trip through this content.
I'm enjoying your videos, cheers from Australia!
Hello Mark, Thanks for the great videos you had produced, god bless you!
Theoretical knowlege is the basis of all skills . Thanks Mark .

Free is my favorite price range. Thanks for the video.
love the rewind great refresher

Looking forward to this series very much Marc ! Thank for the particle videos as well.
I love the changing signs in the background, hillarious lol
Hope all is well ! Been a long time fan of your content
you are so cool
I think we need more people like you you are very intelligent and smart
Nice... glad you are back for good... I'll follow along... and I am exited already! Thank you for doing this! ;)
That's a good video I'll keep on watching.
Thanks Marc, this is a perfect time for me to have a good lesson on all the basics.
You certainly have allot of great video's, a great source of information. I have a metal lathe and milling machine as well as all the wood machines. Use the metal machines all the time to make things I need.

Thanks Marc, I wish I had "met" you forty years ago!
Thanks Marc, Great introduction.
awesome video!!!!
Dear Marc, thank you very much
Lesson: 3
Marc. I just found this series of courses. What a great idea. Can you suggest a few good beginner books?
Keep up the good work thanks for being a great teacher
Clear and concise. Love your work.
Sound quality is still a bit average but that could be because I'm down under,
a lot of stuff from your side of the world seems to be echoed down here.
Regards,Tom
sir 💐 for your practical approach videos
Thanks for the shoutout Marc! Now I have coffee spray on my screen :-D
hello . good eve . can you make a video about grades of steel and their machining characteristics? thank you in advance
Hi Elsi! Over here it is 10 AM so I am guessing that you are from the middle east? I have nine videos about materials, they can be found on page two of my web page THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM .

Can i have a learner's manual for machine workshop theory? Thanks in advance😊

like the definition of precision.
Those NRC wind tunnel models were quite impressive. Did you make them?

hi is there a pdf of the notes(that you are reading from) i can download from
Can you recommend a couple of beginner books to purchase?

Awsom sir,i hope to get to talk to u someday
If you understand the words machine, machining, and machine shop, skip to 8:00. Literally took that long.
As I (much to clearly) mentioned, the video is for beginners, literally. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to write, Marc.
Well Mark I will never try to pronounce your last name again I wasn't even close
Well here we go with the hard part of my learning thanks for trying for me
Just pretend it's written "Lay-coo-yay". :-)
ur the best
hi
It was interesting how the mustache disappeared! I was thinking what in the world just happened!?
It had to involve fire, nothing else would be that fast without removing the lip as well. I wonder what kind of brush he uses to dust his cookies now?
Must be rerun season
Yes! I am redoing from scratch the four first theory videos because the originals really sucked! The next on the chopping block is the "safety part one" video. I hope that the new versions suck a little less. Marc
go watch cable numb the mind bullshit
a
There is no Africans there? Aint i Africa? :D Is it USA? Keith ?
