Andrew, on the drawing you state the scale as 1.25:1 I'm pretty sure you should have written that as 1:1.25. Great work, though. by you and Quinn and everyone else.
I recommend one, slight change to keep in form with a parody of the original: Turnin', turnin', turnin' Keep that workpiece turnin', Is that my insert burnin'? Car-bide!
I’m a crusty old machinist and have really enjoyed seeing you take the time to explain why you choose an option. Things like using a 4 jaw with soft inserts instead of a 3 jaw and hope. A pretty fair effort mate. Cheers.
First time viewer and a noob machinist. I must say that your video is awesome! Love that you clearly say what your doing every step of the way including mistakes. And a little humor thrown in makes it perfect. Now I'm a subscriber and want more!
QUINN!! You were without a doubt the best surprise for me at the bash. Had no idea you would be there. (I’m the kinda nervous guy that had trouble remembering to mention my name, Joe) was super cool to meet you. Your beginners series is one of the best teaching tools I’ve encountered yet. Thank you so much for your content (and the stickers... I love stickers.).
Awesome job! People who watch task videos from #projectegress should come away with a much greater appreciation for the work that goes into creating these astounding machines! If I ever catch myself wondering why more folks aren't flying around space, I'll remember the amount of work that went into just creating this little non-working part. Congratulations on being recognized for your craftsmanship. Edit: You can certainly tell you're a teacher!
First video I've watched of yours, and only 2 minutes and 20 seconds or so into it and already saw a hack I've never thought of. Using a 1 2 3 block to square your tool post off the chuck! I like that idea! I've always used the slower indicator method. Thanks for saving me time in the future!
I really love the fact you even highlight your mistakes. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times either I just over look something totally or don't plan far enough ahead because I rush projects. This turn out pretty amazing!
Congrats on getting the honor of making parts for Project Egress. I'm sorry I didn't know about you until now. I am now a subscriber. I look forward to seeing your other vids.
Manual machine tools built civilization as we know it! CNC is great but it makes the process into a software problem, and everything else in my life is already software. I do this because I like to make things with my hands.
Great job, Quinn. Outstanding video. I have been watching other people and their Egress builds. Yours was perfect. Love the cardboard catcher and the selfie camera trick.
@Blondihacks - really cool project! One question - is that thinner area near the bearing end not needed for clearance or anything like that? It's shown in the drawing but doesn't seem to be on the finished part.
Yup, that’s correct! I checked with the engineer and the larger flat area isn’t a necessary part of the design. He said it’s just a standard aerospace part and that’s how they come, but it isn’t needed here. It made my machining setup a lot simpler to omit it, so I did.
Great work! My PM25MV bores a taper if I feed with the quill as well. Learned that the hard way on a deep boring operation. I always feed the head now when I bore with that machine. Again, great work and thank you for sharing!!
@Blondihacks Just ran across your channel. Great work and well taught. Enjoyed your commentary about your work. It shows your love for the work. Another new subscriber.
nice work! In 21:58 appears a ratchet threader. Can you tell me where to buy one? What is the name of the tool? (sorry my english not good) greetings from Brazil Celso Ari
Quinn you are the best teacher on you to. Love your channel it's my favorite. You have really inspired me to get serious and get to making things. Thank you so very much for all your hard work for the best teaching and information.
Came here after watching This old Tony make his parts for the project. You’re definitely good at what you do and I wish I would have found your channel sooner. Subscribed.
The main battle is always vertical space on the little mills. That and your right shoulder gets buff from cranking that column up and down all the time.
I'm pretty sure that the machinists back in the 60's didn't have any CMC equipment either. So you pretty much did it the way they would have. Great job!
Using the phone for reading the indicator is a great idea! Just found your channel , absolutely love your personality and grammatical Yatzys! Looking forward to more videos from you . 💜🎬
Right. Over the course of watching This Old Tony's video and the one NYC&C did, yours came up in the suggestions. Having had a look at a few of your other videos.....I liked and subbed. Good stuff. I'll be looking forward to more in the future.
Tip on collet use: 5C collets are meant to hold only nominal size stuff, not a tad over and only slightly below nominal (like a thou). 5C collets are not very good in holding power as the grip length is so short in the collet. Better option would be ER-collets, for exampe ER32 collets will clamp even 1 mm undersize, but they have the same upper limit, as in nothing over the nominal size. And the gripping length is longer. If you buy those cheap import collets, they are great in a pinch as you can hacksaw thhem in half and thus grip that shaft from the middle by placing the halves on it and slide them into the nut one at a time. Has saved my butt many times on difficult to hold workpieces :)
Just found your channel in my recommended and after clicking on it I had a REALLY hard time not pausing it as there was a brand new This Old Tony video sitting there shaking its jiggly parts at me. But I resisted (barely) and you have a new sub. Good Job and keep up the good work.... Now I'm off to watch ToT's jiggly bits. 🤣
I enjoyed watching you make this part! I feel like an old grump mentioning this, but my apprentice master would have sent me home if he caught me using my callipers as a marking gauge. Consequently I still have my callipers in good condition after 30 years. I guess my apprentice master is no longer with us but he still looks over my shoulder and says stuff in my ear like “Oh mate be careful” and “I hope you know what you are doing” :)
I use an inexpensive digital mitutoyo caliper for layout work. It is great for that and has been for at least 15 years. The points are still quite sharp. It used used as a horizontal version of a height gage and no one complains about height gages used for layout. Not everyone has the master's tool box and can choose just the right tool for the job. Often using what you have in an effective way is the best way to get the job done.
First time viewer, from Franlab. I've been a machinist since '76. After all my years of cutting metal I still get a kick out of watching a part appear magically out of a piece of raw stock. You did a fine job on that linkage. I've made the same mistake as you trying to save a little time. Bet the second part came out quicker. I would have loved to make one of those parts for Adam's project.
To set up for that delicate a size, you can set your top slide at a low angle, and use it to take off in tenths and hit exactly on the nut. Can I suggest making a tapered scraper of an old triangular file, grinding down the teeth, setting up three 60 degree edges. Very useful for deburring holes, and taking out tenths of thousandths.
I will raise you one ,I watched the Kennedy funeral live in black and white and little Jack saluting , We I can still make chips. This lady makes good videos. Maybe she could slow down just a touch.
Peter Van Tassell I’m with you pal. I was just telling the young kids at work the other day about watching Vietnam footage on the news and the Manson murders. They had no idea what I was talking about.🇦🇺👍
Woah woah with Adam Savage? That's a pretty cool guy to be doing a project with. I'm still not done reading through your blog posts but I may have to put that on hold to see where this goes!
Yah, I was super thrilled to be included in this project. Apollo may be the most amazing thing humanity has ever done, and I'm thrilled to honor it, even a little.
Among the awesomeness of it in general, watching videos for this project has been great in showing me new machining subs to subscribe to. (started my watching from This Old Tony and NYC CNC).
Congrats! I swear, one day Quinn, I'm going to steal your "record the video, narrate over it" format for my channel. It's soooo butter. You're like the Bob Ross of machining, I swear.
I've got a little tip for you from my old shop teacher back in the days when lathes were belt driven and HSS ruled. Take your Dremel with a cut off wheel in it and put a groove about .030 to .040 behind the cutting edge parallel to the front face of the tool. This makes a chip breaker that will make those long stringy aluminum chips snap off short. You will have to experiment to find the optimal depth and distance back but it does work.
Great video. Hi quinn. It was a joy meeting you, and your friend. I am still traveling. I am in North Carolina. It was so much fun at the bash. Keep up the great work. I know it is hard for you, since you are working Full time. Lyle
Today, I learned about different Running and Sliding Fits. Very nicely done, just discovered your channel thanks to #ProjectEgress. And I've subscribed.
Great job, Quinn! I really enjoy your channel! And thanks again for some new tricks (e.g. the 1-2-3 block for squaring your cutter). I owe you some beers (or other adult beverage) now. :-)
So one of the awesome things about #ProjectEgress is that we get to discover awesome people and their channels like yours. Would probably never have found yours had it not been for this fact. Now you’re up there with ToT in my books.
I have an old Emco Compact 8 lathe and while I've been turning for several years now, I learn a lot by trial and error. I've watched several other channels and I find some of the bigger ones tough to watch. You do a great job of explaining the how's and why's you are doing some of your operations and provide a lot of information that is valuable for those of us who have limited tooling. I actually have a question for you that isn't related to machining. I have a TH-cam channel myself and I focus a lot on building fishing rods and I've found it much easier to do the work, edit the video and do voiceover work at that point instead of talking while working (I don't multitask very well 😆). You narration is very good and fits well with your edited video footage. Do you work off of a script or just wing it. I've tried both and found that when working off of a script it doesn't sound very natural at all. I was just curious how you went about the narration on this video in particular. It still sounds like you are talking to the viewer instead at the viewer, if that makes sense. Any tips you may have on that would be very much appreciated!
I record footage of everything I’m doing, then edit together short clips of the interesting parts. Then I talk over it describing what I see while I watch the rough edit. Then I go back and re-edit the clips to match my VO because the VO sets the pacing. When editing silent clips, the right pacing is hard to feel. That’s my approach, for the most part. Sometimes I mix in on-mic shop voice if something is easier to explain in real-time.
@@Blondihacks good tip on using a rough edit to do the voice over and then re-editing to match the voice over. Thanks! That makes sense and it is something I haven't tried yet.
I've just acquired a new god - Quinn. I'm in awe of the manual work you do. I spend my time programming up stuff - very rarely are we allowed to hand work.....
Quinn - Great Video ! I always thought that the lady’s would make great Tool & Die Makers / Mold Makers & Precision Machinists. I truly enjoy your videos and your Excellent display of skill & talent. BB
Awww, this is the awesomest episode ever! Hearing Air and Space Museum And Savage Studios your making a part for...IS THE BEST NEWS, even if it’s vicariously through you. Well, shows how you, your video, and channel content. Mean something to the rest of us, to mean something to you! Congrats. And I wish you all the best. Speaking of which, my wife just subscribed to your channel and is bingeing your videos, to catch up. Although she’s basing it on the song “Anything you can do, I can do better” in one day she named all the parts of my 12” lathe, I’m afraid, very afraid. Thanks to you. . My wife loves crafting, machining is going to increase her hobby a thousandfold. Thank you Quinn, you do a great service. And good luck on your future endeavors, for ever endeavor. See what I did there? LOL. Everyone should laugh at least once a day. Have fun, Quinn.
@Blondihacks, it’s because of you that she, and hopefully other women, can see the artistry in machining. As I understand it, there are very few women that know this craft, which is sad, in a way. Because this craft, had borne “Rosie the Riveter”, and everything that entails.
@@markschweter6371 You bet! There is a list of everyone on Tested.com, and you can also find a list of all the videos here on TH-cam by clicking on the #ProjectEgress hashtag (or doing a search for that hashtag). I hope that helps!
Enjoyed the show. It just goes to show you don't need a CNC to do everything, although they are nice to have.Very nice work, I look fwd to seeing your part on the door. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Really enjoyed the video. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and you definitely earned my subscription. 👍 Just curious...what model lathe and mill are you using?
Nice video, you just found a new subscriber! Question: How do you hit the exact assembled length with two parts that are threaded together and have a specified relative orientation (hole axes parallel, in this case)?
That’s an astute question. The truth is the tolerance is necessarily within one half turn of the thread. As long as you have some travel on either side of the needed position, you can get the holes spaced within a half turn.
@@Blondihacks Thanks! That makes perfect sense. So I guess if you wanted better than 0.5mm you'd have to hope to get lucky ;] or cut at least one of the threads on the lathe with a dictated thread starting point on the part (is this kind of thing ever done?). For the life of me, I couldn't see how you could have any control of the precise mated length using tap and die.
Love this thank you very straightforward approach to the various problems. Could you have machined the outer surface of the spherical bearing in the lathe? Maybe been able to machine all the way around like that?
I found your channel while searching the maker collaboration list for Project Egress. I had already watched several of my subscribed machinist channels make their parts so I was looking for something different. I saw the Blondihacks channel and reluctantly went for it. Not bad! what is your backround and training?
Abom79 sent me here. " as if someone described a lathe to an Alien, and then they went out and made one in the stupidest way possible"........ I had to pause right away to subscribe! Now back to nthe video. Gotta remember the thumbs up too. Cool channel QUINN.
![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Great video, Quinn! Loved seeing it come together.
Thank you for the great drawings! 😁
@@Blondihacks I'm glad they were useful!
Andrew, on the drawing you state the scale as 1.25:1 I'm pretty sure you should have written that as 1:1.25. Great work, though. by you and Quinn and everyone else.
nice work!!
ShimEgress got a good laugh outta me.
If I had your graphical skills, there’d have been a pithy emoji gag there. 😬
This Old Tony Yes! Subtle humor is the best!
This old Tony might want to try some of that
I Love that my favorite TH-camrs are watching each other's videos. Just excellent
Joey Cloninger EXACTLY!
Turnin', turnin', turnin'
Keep that workpiece turnin',
Is that my insert burnin'?
Aw crap!
Haha, your version is much better. 🎶
Move it in, move it out, never look a gift cow in the mouth, Rawhide!
Don't worry 'bout the chatter,
Or quick-change gearbox clatter,
I recommend one, slight change to keep in form with a parody of the original:
Turnin', turnin', turnin'
Keep that workpiece turnin',
Is that my insert burnin'?
Car-bide!
Project collet egress. Nicely done! Can't wait to see all these parts in person.
All the best,

Thanks Tom! Your part looked amazing.
I'm a wood guy, and haven't had ME classes in over 20 years, but holy cow this is impressive. Great training voice too. Just Wow!

Aww, thanks! It was great to meet you too. Thanks for watching my little shop adventures!
2:16 I have watched hours of machining videos and never once saw anyone use this method for squaring up the tool post.
Thanks for the tip :)
This project is amazing in so many ways. I've found so many great TH-cam-makers to subsrcribe to. Awesome video, Blondihacks!
This!
Congratulations!
You're the first woman that I've ever known of to be comfortable using the term "dead-nuts".
Your cat sounded like he thought he was being ignored, good job Quinn very clean looking final product.
Sprocket always feels like she's being ignored, hence her regular opinions during my voiceover recording. 😀
That's the best description of a boring head that I have ever heard!
I would have subscribed anyway, but your description of the boring bar sealed the deal. Great video - looking forward to more!
I’m glad someone liked that joke 😅 welcome to my little channel!
Very cool channel! Thank you for taking the time to make and share it!
Thank you for explaining everything, your the only one I've found that teaches to a newbie point of view.
Abom79 - >"Hum, they say the parts don't have to be functional.... So,,I think i'll make them from Carbide "
What the hell is carbide steel?
Lol!
Wow this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on TH-cam for lathe work and teaching. I am extremely impressed and I have subscribed!

I really love the fact you even highlight your mistakes. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times either I just over look something totally or don't plan far enough ahead because I rush projects. This turn out pretty amazing!
Thank you! I think it’s important to show that we all make them.
Congrats on getting the honor of making parts for Project Egress. I'm sorry I didn't know about you until now. I am now a subscriber. I look forward to seeing your other vids.
This video is so good. I haven’t used a metal lathe or mill yet, and had thought about CNC versions, but love that you do it all manually.
Manual machine tools built civilization as we know it! CNC is great but it makes the process into a software problem, and everything else in my life is already software. I do this because I like to make things with my hands.
As ever, your instructions are crystal clear. It was nice meeting you and your friend at the Bash last Saturday
Likewise! It was a blast to meet viewers and TH-camrs alike.

Congrats! I swear, one day Quinn, I'm going to steal your "record the video, narrate over it" format for my channel. It's soooo butter. You're like the Bob Ross of machining, I swear.
Aww, thanks! It's basically just a video version of what I do on my blog- take a bunch of photos, then try to find the narrative in it after the fact.
I've got a little tip for you from my old shop teacher back in the days when lathes were belt driven and HSS ruled.
Take your Dremel with a cut off wheel in it and put a groove about .030 to .040 behind the cutting edge parallel to the front face of the tool.
This makes a chip breaker that will make those long stringy aluminum chips snap off short.
You will have to experiment to find the optimal depth and distance back but it does work.
Yah, Adam Booth sent me a chipbreaker design that I’ll be trying out. Thanks!
Great video.
Hi quinn. It was a joy meeting you, and your friend. I am still traveling. I am in North Carolina. It was so much fun at the bash. Keep up the great work. I know it is hard for you, since you are working Full time. Lyle
It was terrific to meet you too! I appreciate you saying that- it is indeed tough to do this while working a very busy full time career. Travel safe!
Well crap Lyle. I wish I had known you were in NC. We might have been able to meet up.

You do a great job of explaining the how's and why's you are doing some of your operations and provide a lot of information that is valuable for those of us who have limited tooling.
I actually have a question for you that isn't related to machining. I have a TH-cam channel myself and I focus a lot on building fishing rods and I've found it much easier to do the work, edit the video and do voiceover work at that point instead of talking while working (I don't multitask very well 😆).
You narration is very good and fits well with your edited video footage. Do you work off of a script or just wing it. I've tried both and found that when working off of a script it doesn't sound very natural at all. I was just curious how you went about the narration on this video in particular. It still sounds like you are talking to the viewer instead at the viewer, if that makes sense. Any tips you may have on that would be very much appreciated!
I record footage of everything I’m doing, then edit together short clips of the interesting parts. Then I talk over it describing what I see while I watch the rough edit. Then I go back and re-edit the clips to match my VO because the VO sets the pacing. When editing silent clips, the right pacing is hard to feel. That’s my approach, for the most part. Sometimes I mix in on-mic shop voice if something is easier to explain in real-time.
@@Blondihacks good tip on using a rough edit to do the voice over and then re-editing to match the voice over. Thanks! That makes sense and it is something I haven't tried yet.
Congratulations on being asked to participate in #projectegress and #apollo50 !
Thanks! It was a privilege.
That list of contributors is pretty amazing. Got to do some more subscribing.
This is the first of your veejayo's that I have seen and I subbed - Came here from TOT
Thanks for the sub, and welcome!
Thanks for showing and explaining what you are doing as a series of logical steps. Ingenius solutions learned here. Subscribed and bell rung.
Thanks for the kind words, and the sub!
This project is like history in the making. From history.
I've just acquired a new god - Quinn. I'm in awe of the manual work you do. I spend my time programming up stuff - very rarely are we allowed to hand work.....
Quinn - Great Video ! I always thought that the lady’s would make great Tool & Die Makers / Mold Makers & Precision Machinists. I truly enjoy your videos and your Excellent display of skill & talent. BB
Awww, this is the awesomest episode ever! Hearing Air and Space Museum And Savage Studios your making a part for...IS THE BEST NEWS, even if it’s vicariously through you. Well, shows how you, your video, and channel content. Mean something to the rest of us, to mean something to you! Congrats. And I wish you all the best. Speaking of which, my wife just subscribed to your channel and is bingeing your videos, to catch up. Although she’s basing it on the song “Anything you can do, I can do better” in one day she named all the parts of my 12” lathe, I’m afraid, very afraid. Thanks to you. . My wife loves crafting, machining is going to increase her hobby a thousandfold. Thank you Quinn, you do a great service. And good luck on your future endeavors, for ever endeavor. See what I did there? LOL. Everyone should laugh at least once a day. Have fun, Quinn.
That's fantastic! I really think a lot of women would love machining if they gave it a shot. Tell her I said "go for it!"
@Blondihacks, it’s because of you that she, and hopefully other women, can see the artistry in machining. As I understand it, there are very few women that know this craft, which is sad, in a way. Because this craft, had borne “Rosie the Riveter”, and everything that entails.
I first heard of this project from another maker (Franlabs; she is making a latch assembly) and looked for others. Well Well Done! This is awesome..
Fran is the greatest! I love her channel
You ain't bad either :)
Same here NYC-CNC then TOT.... is there a LIST of makers somewhere, and details of live assembly? (streaming??)
I have not seen a list. I just searched on "Project Egress"
@@markschweter6371 You bet! There is a list of everyone on Tested.com, and you can also find a list of all the videos here on TH-cam by clicking on the #ProjectEgress hashtag (or doing a search for that hashtag). I hope that helps!
Enjoyed the show. It just goes to show you don't need a CNC to do everything, although they are nice to have.Very nice work, I look fwd to seeing your part on the door. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Stumbled on this. I love this channel instantly. Subscribed.
Awesome, thanks for the sub!
Really enjoyed the video. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and you definitely earned my subscription. 👍
Just curious...what model lathe and mill are you using?
Collin Smith they’re precision Mathews brand, but not sure of exact model
A Trust In Thrust 👍
Nice video, you just found a new subscriber!
Question: How do you hit the exact assembled length with two parts that are threaded together and have a specified relative orientation (hole axes parallel, in this case)?
That’s an astute question. The truth is the tolerance is necessarily within one half turn of the thread. As long as you have some travel on either side of the needed position, you can get the holes spaced within a half turn.
@@Blondihacks Thanks! That makes perfect sense. So I guess if you wanted better than 0.5mm you'd have to hope to get lucky ;] or cut at least one of the threads on the lathe with a dictated thread starting point on the part (is this kind of thing ever done?). For the life of me, I couldn't see how you could have any control of the precise mated length using tap and die.
That's a great looking part. Well done. Greetings from Arizona.
Love this thank you very straightforward approach to the various problems. Could you have machined the outer surface of the spherical bearing in the lathe? Maybe been able to machine all the way around like that?
Love it! Just came across you channel. Good stuff. Thanks:)
I found your channel while searching the maker collaboration list for Project Egress. I had already watched several of my subscribed machinist channels make their parts so I was looking for something different. I saw the Blondihacks channel and reluctantly went for it. Not bad! what is your backround and training?
Thanks for taking a chance on me! I’m an engineer by training- machining is just a hobby for me.
Excellent techniques and great part, never heard a spindle boring head called "Kooky" before 😝.
Many thanks for sharing.
I learned some good tricks in this video. Thank you!
I loved your description of a boring head!
I don't think I had heard the term "janky" before I began experiencing you. It's a skookum word.
Awesome video and tips for newbies like me! Did you make or find those copper soft jaws for your 4 jaw chuck? They look factory made!
Thank you! I made those out of some copper scrap.
Abom79 sent me here. " as if someone described a lathe to an Alien, and then they went out and made one in the stupidest way possible"........ I had to pause right away to subscribe!
Now back to nthe video. Gotta remember the thumbs up too. Cool channel QUINN.
Haha, awesome. Thanks for the sub!
Awesome work @Blondihacks ! Subscribing now. Shim Egress made my day :-)
Haha, thanks, and welcome!
Your description of the aliens making a lathe and ending up with a boring head is so true and so damn funny. I nearly choked on my soda!
