FYI, my grandfather was a top notch Tool and Die maker. The first tool that he taught me to make was a tailstock die holder. When I got his tool box, after he retired, it had several simple tail stock die holders in it with his name engraved in them. You beat me to this build so maybe I will use your design on my next one. This will become clear when I up-load my next video. Thanks for sharing.
Quinn, so nice to see you putting the Wilton Vice to use...exactly what I was hoping for!
It’s amazing! Such a beautiful piece
I never thought I’d get in to machining! But I’m proud to say I bought my first lathe today (a precision Mathews import lathe similar to yours) and can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for inspiring so many women like me! It excites me to see a future with more women in STEM fields!
Congrats on the new machine! 😀
Congratz! How are you liking the machine?
@@macornman It has been great! I’ve mostly been working with brass and aluminium and have only occasionally tried steel but no parting just yet! As much as I’ve enjoyed lathe work I am only just realising how much I “need” a mill, bandsaw and a million other things. So it’s fair to say I think I have a few more tools coming my way! It’s just so addictive taking a boring hunk of metal and turning into something functional. My favourite was the machinist hammer, I followed Quinn’s video on it and have produced quite the beautiful little device!
@@rachelpanth5527 The rabbit hole is very deep! There is always something else you "need" for this hobby. But a mill is a "necessity."
@@rachelpanth5527 I've been doing this fifty years, once you've discovered "how everything is made" you find you need everything. I began because I was working on motorcycles, and couldn't afford parts. It was way late I realized how great it was to make all the ancillary equipment. I've only done it full time after I retired. Never pass up free raw material! Cutting metal demonstrates how everything is made.
Thank you for converting 17° imperial to metric.
17° = 17° I mean, really, where would we be without you Quinn. Eternally grateful for your work.
74-year-old retired Journeyman tool maker. After 30 years in the trade, I went into outside tooling sales for my remaining ten. A well-rounded career! I've seen many individuals come into the trade. Few were exceptional, and some were, um, an embarrassment to the trade. I've watched your videos with rapt attention and will say that you are special. You have an eye for detail, and that shows in your finishes. I have seen very few women in the machining trade, especially with your grasp of knowledge. Keep on shining! Calude
You say you are Canadian, but the results of your work show that you are also fine finish.
It's kind of amazing just how much information you transfer in one of these videos if you are paying attention. Nice job on that little unit!
".... everything else, you can just wing it..." Music to my bodging ears. *This* is a project for me. Thanks.
Excellent presentation! No wasted words but still lots of very informative comments including options and reasons for the choices made.👍👍👍👍
As a woodworker I always admire the precision machining of metal works. Great show as always.
Quinn, wow! Such a simple tool, but you made it look fantastic too! I'm going to make one as soon as I can get back into my work shop.
I am a poppy of 3 smart ,wonderful grand daughters. They are 11, 10 and 7 years old. They love working on their dads dirt race car. I show them your videos all the time and I say, this is what girl power can do. I tell them to never let anything hold them back. Their dad is a welder/fabricator, we are trying to encourage them to do things outside of the box ( like going to a trade school), so far they are very interested. My wife and I love to watch YOUR videos, because of how you explain how and what you are doing. We also watch Cloug 42 and you both compliment each others videos. Keep up the good work !!
The chuck key on a strip near the vertical drill is a brilliant idea, thanks for it!
I really appreciate the imperial to metric conversion for the 17 degrees.
Merch idea "I was taught by a blond"?
Love the video my set is to small for this lol
Thanks for doing the metric/imperial thing in a nice way. I really appreciate you translating the sizes and giving it a funny spin instead of heating up the everlasting discussion.
Wow! I've never been this early for a Blondihacks video! Or any video come to that. Quinn, your videos make my Saturday night!
Yay!! It's Blondihacks time! (And I'm actually home to watch in time this week)
I really should get myself a lathe... so many neat things I could make...
I really enjoyed watching this video. Even after over 50 years as a machinist I can say I learned something new, most of the time I use my Bridgeport to drill holes like that with a dividing head. Now I can use my drill press. Thanks for the nice video.
You are never boring. You're awesome!
Very nice and less boring than you think!
Another great video Quinn. I have been power tapping with the same Jacobs chuck in a Bridgeport for 40 years.
excellent I need to make one of those . I do appreciate that you do some of these projects without a mill because I don't have a mill its nice to see it done that way with a drillpress.
Awesome little tricks today. Thanks Quinn.
I really like all the thought that went into the setup to do the operations on the drill press .
Really liked this project, it was a great watch. Thanks!
Thanks for listing everything you used for this video in the comments, with links......very helpful!
Love your stuff! Very fun and professional!.
There’s no such thing as scrap metal, there’s just bits of metal I haven’t found a use for yet.
That's exactly what I tell my wife to justify the pile of scrap I have I in the backyard 😆
Excellent - as I have come to expect from you!
Yep, Quinn ROCKS!
steve
:O Ron is here!?
I can hear Quinn saying to herself: “Aaaaand from now on I will get extreme performance anxiety bouts whenever filming, editing and uploading a new video thinking about Ron’s expectations”
Oh! "Boring" was a joke!? Passed me by! 🤔😲😲😁😁😁
I've been waiting for you to make one of these. Excellent video . Thanks
Always wanted to make one of these...thanks for giving me the push to finally do it!! Great video Quinn!!
I made three failed attempts at the tap follower before admitting I suck at machining! Then I saw mr Pete’s version and had wonderful success! All my friends and family are getting one for Christmas this year now! Good to be able to “tap” my resources! Ha!
New project for the kids at school, thanks Quinn!
That trick with the adjustable parallel.... brilliant.
Thank you for this. I had a simple, but not simple, component to make - a hex bar with a 1/4 - 24 RH thread on one end and LH thread on the other. The thread turning video got me cutting both threads on a practice run and then the backup dies arrived for the final piece. I had a tailstock die holder, but naturally it only had inserts for imperial sized dies and, despite being 1/4 - 20 the two dies that arrived were 20mm. So, following your process, I was able to make a new holder insert for my tailstock die holder, and the piece is now finished. Yay. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for sharing your work i am a beginner and have learned so much from your vids . I love watching and your attention to detail is fantastic , much appreciated
Ok the boring joke was (meant to be) a bit cringe but who gave a thumbs down, this is always one of my highlights of my weekend (and yes therefore week).
Thanks for another great video Quinn.
As always, good video. A useful shop tool project. I did some experimenting with Brownell’s Oxpho Blue recently. I used a cotton ball saturated with Brownell's, and wrapped some 0000 steel wool around the cotton ball. I then rubbed the steel wool on the surface while squeezing on the cotton ball at the same time. What this did was to give me a more consistent less "splotchy" finish. Buff with a paper towel and apply T9- Boshield.... If it weren't for this channel, I would not have even known about Brownell’s Oxpho Blue...!
Nice! Plenty of tips and good practices. By coincidence today I began working on my own which will be a bit different mainly to better adapt to a much smaller lathe.
Very nice. I love the result you get with the Oxpho blue. I have a bottle sitting on my dining room table, looking for an excuse to use it.
Just for shits and grins, try some on the wife’s silverware and give us a report! Ha!
That is a very good video and a good tool. If I'd not already made something like that I'd have to make another. Good job
Excellent project, the die holder is probably one of the most used tools in the workshop, If all you have is those crappy carbon steel dies you usually have to single point the threads and then finish to size with a die. I think I shall follow your lead and use the cold bluing more often, it does give it a "pro" look, I think. Cheers!
Great setup on the drill press
Fantastic tutorial. Cant wait to make myself one of these. Thank you for sharing.
Another joyful class!
That opening pun just earned you a subscriber.
Great Idea, excellent video as always.Nice Job
I worked for a company that manufactured medical diagnostic machines. I mostly ran a manual lathe. I made a die holder with an insert for 2 die sizes as well as taps. It was a production shop and I used it quite often. Taps from 2-56 to 5/16-18.
You know its a good vid when Sprocket gives her opinion!
Love your videos, I have learned so much and really appreciate them!! I was thinking about your tap follower and this die holder and had an idea. You could put a compression spring between the body of the tool and jacobs chuck. That way you could use one hand to hold the tool and one to hold the lathe chuck. Just an idea.
Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
Nice job Quinn.👍👍👍
From one afficionado of dad jokes to another; I really enjoyed them, and didn't find them boring in the slightest!
Fantastic build. New subscriber and I love the build.
Great stuff thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great explanation and easy to follow instructions. 👍
Pretty neat! ... Fun to watch, too!
Great explanation!. Cheers, from New Zealand
Quinn, first, just one more STELLAR video.
One of my favourite Machinists to watch,
and DEFINITELY, the prettiest!
As I've made 62 trips around the sun, I know
the expression, "Bob's your uncle." Not sure
everyone does. (Surprising, since I'm a Colonial.

Nice project and well done.
Loved it Quinn
the brass tubing on the hand wheel is a neat trick.
Hi Quinn, loving your videos 🥰 They're such a charming and refreshing change, particularly in the current climate. My engineering days ended 40 years ago, but I still understand the tools and principles you show. A big thank you, from an avid fan 🤗🇬🇧
Nice and clean 👌
Another excellent video, Quinn you always make it look easy and fun.
An it was “Boring” in any way what so ever.
😎🙏🙏
Nice job and well done.
I use a tailstock die holder at work quite often for the smaller threads (M6 and under) especially on longer threaded sections where its not worth the hassle of programming out tapers from deflection, etc. If its a really long thread you can start by screw cutting so that it doesn't wander off centre then finish it by chasing it with a die.
Job well done, thanks for sharing.
Nice stuff, Quinn.
I often use an ordinary die holder on my lathe and because the handles bang against the bed I have to take one off, do half a turn, put it back on, take the other one off......... yada yada yada..... the Tommy bar in this holder is truly a gift from god.... or at least a gift from Quinn.
Very good video. Looks like a great tool have and like your design. Will have to make one eventually and will take note of your design! Thanks
Love it!
Im a toolmaker by trade and Im deffo gonna make one of these! We've got jobs ranging from M3 all the way up to 1"! I also made a copy of your fly cutter - it leaves a fantastic finish! This is next on my list after a two-piece vice is finished. That floatlock vice is looking good too after a piece of half inch plate nearly took out out a rib or two after a very sketchy grab....
I need to make myself one of these!
Nice job!!
I can't wait for the end of the video... WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE LEFTOVER STUB???
Lovely content as always! I definitely need to make a couple of die holders. Thank you for the recipe and the subliminal cat. I also need to get one of those machinist's tombstones!
Thanks Quinn
Boring has a Zen-like quality to it. I like it. It is not "boring" to me. Perhaps I am the exception.
That brass tube was very clever
Another excellent tutorial. Thank you, my project to-do list just got a little longer. :-)
17 deg ~= 17 deg....classic! Hopefully that does not awaken the cancel imperial units folks; I fear the days when some will insist all inhabitants of the world do all angle measurements in radians.
I thought a metric circle has 100 degrees.
Sorry but 360 degrees is older than both metric and imperial. It is a 5000 year old base 60 system: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal
@@daveholub8045 a metric circle actually has 400 Gradians
@@Spectral_Penguin I knew that was coming! Nicely played!
But but but radians are as easy as pi!
This is something I have been meaning to make for ages.
Quinn, Awesome video, great content, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
i like that i just may have to make one for the sake of it its simple and does the job i saw another with a grove in the side but didnt like that one Great work my friend i will check out your other videos great tutorial thanks.
Good video, thanks. I’m going to make one. Years ago I knocked apart a dead hard drive for the extremely powerful rare earth magnet inside. It sticks to the top of the face of my drill press, holding the key in place. One only needs to toss the key in the general direction of the magnet.... no key dangling on a string. Too easy to get used to :-)
Good job as usual. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Was gonna whip one of these up, as I need to make a mess of standoffs to install the ELS on my lathe, when I realized I only have ancient Hanson Ace dies, which are hex. Never crossed my mind. Off to Mr. Pete! He'll know a neat cheat.
Quinn, these tutorials are pure gold for the inexperienced like me. What's your opinion on James' electronic leadscrew project? That would save a lot of switching greasy gears for those of us who haven't been blessed with mechanical gearboxes in their lathes.
If I may suggest a lathe project:
Make a center punch specifically for marking holes for mounting hinges.
Such a tool would be made available f two pieces: an alignment/holder and a punch pin.
The holder’s nose would be beveled at the same 72 degrees as used to n flathead screws. Simply pressing the holder onto the screw hole in the hinge would center it over the hole. There would be a long bore through the holder for the punch pin, I imagine this part being either hex stock or knurled, from 3/8” to 1/2” diameter. Hex stock won’t roll off the workbench.
The pin could be something as simple as a large common nail, slightly longer than the holder.
To use: Place holder, insert pin, tap pin to mark.
Love your channel! I watch a lot of TH-cam makers, but you have the same sort of equipment that I have and that makes you a valuable resource. Of course I wish I had a huge shop with $100K worth of tools in it, but I spent my career in the military which means I will never have that kind of money. Despite that I make cool stuff and do it at a level of precision that is remarkable for a guy in the corner of his garage. I might have a couple ideas for you. My KBC dies are made in Poland and they are a match for any of the bigger more expensive names. YG-1 makes drill bits and taps that far exceed many that have famous names and big price tags. Suncoast tools out of Florida has fair prices and stunning service. Take care and thank you for the great videos.
great stuff!
That was great! - Thanks
As a father of three, dad jokes are always appropriate. 😉
Very good work, thanks
Quinn, I LOVE your videos and I love your explaining for the Layman but you have to remember a lot of us Hobbyists don't have a lot of the equipment that you have. I know you want to show us how to do everything perfectly but if you could do videos using the bare minimum of equipment, that would be awesome!
You do know, of course, that I can no longer part anything off on my lathe without at least thinking the magic word not to mention doing the tappy, tap, tap thing on my mill.
Totally started doing this, yep.
Same. "Aaaaand..."
I think tappy tap tap when using my mill :)
5 second in and I've already given a thumbs up.
Very nice and inspiring video :)
