This video is the perfect example of why I love machining videos, I just wish every machining channel on youtube took the time and effort to achieve the level of cinematography that you've accomplished here. Well done
There are 2 types of machinist content on youtube-ones that make theatrical entertaining videos and the ones that make boring videos full of knowledge. Plenty of people that watch all kinds of diy videos but they will never do any of them on their own.They watch it out of boredom.And then there are minorty of people that watch specific video on subject to help them in their work.For example how to make pipe reduction or bend a pipe correctly. Mechamozg and joe polishlastnameicantwrite make knowledge videos ,clickspring makes typical entertaining moneyshot videos.
If ever TH-cam machining video had this level of cinematography, there wouldn't be so much information and knowledge on TH-cam from Master machinist. These types of machining videos obviously take weeks of filming and editing to get put out. The people that just want to see milling machines cut metal, and lathes turn off chips, are just hipsters that want to watch "oddly satisfying machining videos." Most machining content is for Machinists who are trying to learn. It's not for hipsters to watch so they can feel like they're connected to the trades, act like they know about actual work, and act like they know about machining because they watched a few TH-cam videos. This style of videos are strictly for entertainment, not education.

My great, great grandfather was a master machinist and wrote a treatise 150 years ago on what he called "offset cam turning." While I also pursued a career in machining, I never got any sense of what his treatise was about until I saw this video. Thanks for posting.
As engineering students, we learnt the beauty of lathe machining - it is a great art - and society is indebted to men behind these machines who made our lives easier.

@@bobtheblob2770 YES! And a small, offset, segmented cylinder inside a larger cylinder. It's a sublime optical illusion when it's rotating around it's Z axis.
I used a Lathe for the first time today. Fun experience but I realised just how long and stressful of a process it is. I also burnt myself so many times because of the "metal shavings". You have all my respect for this video.
You ought to look into 5 Dimensional CNC lathes timelapse videos, if you want your mind blown at least. But for just doing this by eye and by hand, this is awesome too in its own way!
I'd humbly state that there's nothing wrong with a 3 jaw chuck, imo. They hold on to pretty much anything (small, large, wide and the long materials), if set up correctly... as far as i've seen. Not that i've seen or used anything But the 3 jaw chuck, but that's...beside the point, right? 😇😅
I'm definitely going to try something similar on my homemade wood lathe. It's definitely not powerful enough for metal but this gave me an idea nothing obviously as fine or small as this but something creative
2:27 Kind of cool to stare at that one disc that’s basically stationary in the middle when rotating. But I would really love to see the math behind this. This could make for a very cool candle-holder
It's just geometrical. Keep watching the video, think about everything, and you'll figure it out. Otherwise, show this to any trig math teacher who can explain sine waves. Or study sine waves yourself.
This is funny and entertaining to watch. Now I'm retired, but I worked 43 years in a metal workshop milling, turning, boring, welding and so on. First 10 years with manual machines and then with CNC and CAD/CAM. I think metal working (same as woodwork) is a bit underrated profession in these days. I was always excited of my work.
Thanks for a great learning experience with no obnoxious music, long boring and unnecessary details. The video showed all that is need to do this project. Excellent! I never thought of setting the 3 jaw like that.
A fascinating way to show the relationship between rotational motion on a circle and the sinusoidal functions. By offsetting each cut, you've essentially just taken a "value" of sine/cosine at that degree mark. It gives you a discrete sine function shape across the piece, that when viewed from the top or bottom, has also encoded the angle that the cut was performed at. Terrific machinist skills showing an elegant mathematical relationship!
I have a friend who's been doing machining for some 45+ years. He has his own shop and all. You're the second person I've seen making this kind of part. I saw him making an almost similar part for a cargo ship. The captain of the ship thought it had to be done by molding but my friend told him he can cut the piece from a chunk of metal. After seeing the part the guy's jaw was dropped. This was around 30 years ago. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
That was mesmerizing. I'm glad you chose it for the 8 Ball. It needed a worthy stand and you created one. When you showed those marks before, you said they would make sense and, wow, did they ever. Thanks, MM. That was fabulous.
I was wracking my brain thinking how on earth you'd do that on a lathe... And once I saw it, it was so obvious I thought how did I not think of this?! Really cool...
I was most impressed with this offset metal turning video. I decided to use the technique using 42 mm diam. Aluminium. I modified the ends (since I'm not a billiard player or golfer) putting a fancy knob on top and knurling the base. The result was vey pleasing and makes a nice ornament/ talking point in my home.
I am a medical doctor and watch CNC videos sometimes for a change as it fascinates me. This was one of the most interesting video I have ever seen. Short, Smart, and Sweet.
I could see a really cool desk lamp being made using this method on a larger stock piece, maybe cutting a pocket out on the end pieces for electronics, etc. This is awesome!
Wow. This takes experience, knowing what your machine is capable of, plus a ton of practical knowledge (ie the whole setting up with height gauges and making marks to know to turn the part 20 degrees each time) to achieve. I’m fresh out of trade school and Ive realized there is so much that you don’t learn in trade school. I’m at a small job shop trying to learn every little bit I can and like uploading time lapses of what I’m working on, but this is next level
Absolutely! It's incredible to see the level of skill and precision involved in this work. I completely relate to your experience - trade school provides a great foundation, but there's so much more to learn on the job. Keep pushing yourself and sharing your progress; it's inspiring to see others grow in their craft
This has already been watched over 10000 times, although it has not yet been here for an hour! Thank you for great content My Mechanics. 👍 Since I started to follow these videos I have bought a lathe of my own.
When I see things like this I am reminded of the videos of the FORD auto factory(and others) where they show all of the automated machining and assembly processes from the days of the 1932 FORD/etc. My thought always is....WHO THOUGHT OF THAT? These days of CNC are amazing, however I marvel more at the old days of manual machines and the way they were applied. CNC is amazing and modern factories are by no means easy to design but the old videos amaze me to no end.....remember - 100 years ago!!!
You never cease to amaze me with your brilliant setups! An incredibly easy way to turn offsets...with a bit counting jaw turns and of math of course!! 🤯😎 Thanks MM, beautiful piece fitting for any 8 ball!

@@Dead_Goat What's your problem? I am seriously not in the mood for stupid replies like this. I see the beauty of the math that explains shapes and patterns like this. No math? Did he just flip on the lathe and it was magically on exactly the right settings? F off.
*holds on to her face in awe as she realizes that her workplace will never be doing or having her do stuff like that* This is incredibly, ridiculously, amazingly cool! Thank You for sharing this with us!
I do love your lathe work, always coming up with some really great designs. Just thinking out loud but two of these could be made into a single double helix… that’d be seriously cool!
Could you make two identical copies then slice off opposite halves of the disks at each end to make them both semicircular and out of phase with each other. Then interlace the two parts and bond it together at both ends. The single helix is pretty spectacular.
I didn't even know you could do that with a lathe. That's so cool. It looks like some kind of science trophy lol. Watching it spin in the lathe jaws was almost hypnotic. Very unusual. I love it.
Ive been a Machinest for 20 yrs approximately, Went from All manuel to Pure Automated. Well watched my Company Literally Replace every Manuel Machine in the last 5 years. Now we have All new Mazaks, Nigatas, Shibauras, Toshibas Tue’s, Megaturns. We kept like 1 Bridgeport, And A couple bridgeport heads for custom Work. But this has to be the most fascinating thing ive ever seen. Ive seen some badass stuff made By old Machinests. This is dope
That was so cool and I am thankful for the work you put into it. I was wondering where the 8 ball was, then, there it is!. I don't have a stand, I make a new one. Very original. Thank you.
I had never thought of off setting the jaws themselves. That is one thing I love about metal working, there are so many interesting techniques to learn.
Making two of these that interlock together to make a double helix would be really interesting to see and probably an equally exciting mathematical engineering challenge.
I worked in a couple labs after I graduated from college, one of the cool skills I picked up at one of the labs was a Machine Shop certification. And I can't believe how much fun I had when I was in the machine shop with a lathe.
Since I've watched everything you had posted on this channel and the second one :D I really have to ask.. there is something you can't do !? :D You are one of a kind sir ...
Rotating off centre like that, it must be a beastly strong lathe to not just fly apart. I guess that's why you kept the rpm down. Does the hammering of the tool create a series of facets, or are they gradually smoothed to near circular by running for a while?
If the hunk of metal were to be a bullet, I’d say it looks like a 30mm shell, which is commonly used in CIWS and CRAM. If you decide to look up a photo of one of them firing, just know only a third of those bullets it fires have tracers.
*I've been a Journeyman Machinist most of my adult life. (I'm almost 62)..I didn't even know you could do this on a lathe.. I wish I had the words to express how cool this is...I'm just not that smart...Incredible is the best I can come up with*
It is amazing what these machines can do in the hands of an artist! I learned something new about the lathe today also! Brilliant and simple way of execution!
I never knew that the Jaws could be rearranged like that on a lathe.... Thank you for showing me this it was an educational experience thank you so much
Brilliant mate! I've been using manual machines for R&D laboratory work that are often 'make-it-up-as-you-go' jobs since the mid 70's and I've never thought of this. I guess you could use a 4 jaw independent, but you'd probably lose some accuracy after a few indexing turns as two jaws would have to be loosened. At least a 3 jaw always returns to the same position.
I’m 63 and an old school fitter/turner by trade and I’ve NEVER seen this done! In fact I’ve never even THOUGHT of doing it. Simply incredible!!

@@mymechanicsinsights for sure it’d be a two parter but if anyone can make it look like it was just one… that’d be you for sure.
Could you make two identical copies then slice off opposite halves of the disks at each end to make them both semicircular and out of phase with each other. Then interlace the two parts and bond it together at both ends.
The single helix is pretty spectacular.
I've dabbled in turning before but never have I ever thought of turning something off centre. I'm def going to try this. Cheers mate.
OMG the coolest project i have ever seen!!! Spectacular 🤯🤯
Glad you think so :-)
Love you work sir❤️.
Its just awesome and addictive.
Thanks :-)
I didn't even know you could do that with a lathe. That's so cool. It looks like some kind of science trophy lol. Watching it spin in the lathe jaws was almost hypnotic. Very unusual. I love it.
I feel like this would make a good "windmill" (wind chime* , thanks "murk 135") type thing attached near a window with a string. Very cool project.
Did you mean wind chime???
@@murk1352 yes sorry lol. Thanks
@@TrophicFault I thought that’s what you meant…👍🏻
Как легко получается то, что продумано и выверено с математической точностью. Это завораживает.
Да уж, так легко-легко. Легче лёгкого. Раз плюнуть. Про завораживает соглашусь.
Это, что-то нереальное.
The efficiency of these machines is mind-blowing. Great content!
You're incredibly talented
Many thanks :-)
Wow, now that is what I call exceptional lathe work. Never seen that done before. Cheers dude
Thank you very much :-)
2:18 *This video shows exactly why I love machining content. I wish more channels had your level of cinematography and effort. Great job*
Looks like a miniature Formula 1 trophy. Very cool!!
It does!
Simply amazing. I'm 934 years old and I've been make tools for 346 years and never seen something as incredible as this!! Very clever
Ive been a Machinest for 20 yrs approximately, Went from All manuel to Pure Automated. Well watched my Company Literally Replace every Manuel Machine in the last 5 years. Now we have All new Mazaks, Nigatas, Shibauras, Toshibas Tue’s, Megaturns. We kept like 1 Bridgeport, And A couple bridgeport heads for custom Work. But this has to be the most fascinating thing ive ever seen. Ive seen some badass stuff made By old Machinests. This is dope
That is really cool, I love it. You are so clever
Thanks so much 😊
That was so cool and I am thankful for the work you put into it. I was wondering where the 8 ball was, then, there it is!. I don't have a stand, I make a new one. Very original. Thank you.
I had never thought of off setting the jaws themselves. That is one thing I love about metal working, there are so many interesting techniques to learn.
Yes, you don't think about a lot of simple stuff until you see online totally agree GODSPEED
Making two of these that interlock together to make a double helix would be really interesting to see and probably an equally exciting mathematical engineering challenge.
I thought it looked like a DNA strand.🧬cool engineering traits unlocked.
It's not all that complex- make a similar helix, thread it in, make sure it's 180 degrees out of phase and you've got a double helix
Amazing work!!!
Thank you!
I worked in a couple labs after I graduated from college, one of the cool skills I picked up at one of the labs was a Machine Shop certification. And I can't believe how much fun I had when I was in the machine shop with a lathe.
Fantastic looks amazing thanks
Hope you enjoy
This is amazing, a true art
Thank you very much :-)
This *turned out* to be great XD
That was incredibly satisfying to watch. How long did the filing sharp edges take though? 😅
10 seconds. Didn't you watch the video? 😝
Around 2.5 hours
@@mymechanicsinsights 😬
Beautiful job,a small tumbler,as used for jewellery,with stainless steel medium would give a magnificent finish.
Since I've watched everything you had posted on this channel and the second one :D I really have to ask.. there is something you can't do !? :D You are one of a kind sir ...
yes, welding ;-)
Yes VERY TOP notch work. A smart person is smart, A smart person with an imagination is unstoppable !!!!!
How does this not break ?! that's amazing !
The trick is starting from right to left.
Rotating off centre like that, it must be a beastly strong lathe to not just fly apart. I guess that's why you kept the rpm down. Does the hammering of the tool create a series of facets, or are they gradually smoothed to near circular by running for a while?
Duh! Keep the RPM down and one hair getting caught in it won’t send you flying to minced shred like how at normal speed it would
This is what you're told not to do
And you did it in style
vunderbar
0:21 whatever gun is loaded with THAT i do not want to be near
It kind of looks like a shotgun shell for small artillery cannons.
If the hunk of metal were to be a bullet, I’d say it looks like a 30mm shell, which is commonly used in CIWS and CRAM. If you decide to look up a photo of one of them firing, just know only a third of those bullets it fires have tracers.
First. 😎
Almost!
I've been a turner for over 6 years and never seen this one before!! You're such a genius!!!
But what does the part do?
@1:30 : oh, right, duh .
What a delightful bit of machining. Very nice work, simple in conception but very well executed.
You really make iron play a symphony that pleases the eyes and the soul before hearing, well done
incredible design. brilliantly thought out, and masterfully executed. my hats off to you for this beautiful piece of work
*I've been a Journeyman Machinist most of my adult life. (I'm almost 62)..I didn't even know you could do this on a lathe.. I wish I had the words to express how cool this is...I'm just not that smart...Incredible is the best I can come up with*
He truly is a master craftsman, his restoration videos should put the original manufacturers (and service centres) to shame. Truly beautiful work.
Isn't it great to see such beautiful and imaginative work. I can't keep from watching talent like this.
this is when you have the knowledge. my respect for this man!!
It is amazing what these machines can do in the hands of an artist! I learned something new about the lathe today also! Brilliant and simple way of execution!
Human Ingenuity will never cease to amaze me. Fantastic job.
That would be a cool pedestal for action figurines and 3D printed stuff too. Nice work
看到封面的第一眼还以为每车一个圆台阶就要重新调一次夹头偏心率，结果车的是螺旋状，只需要给材料转个角度就行了😆，属实是没想到👍
I never knew that the Jaws could be rearranged like that on a lathe.... Thank you for showing me this it was an educational experience thank you so much
I dont know anything about tools or this machine but thus mans mind is very creative and thinks beyond what he sees, very interesting
I would love one on a shelf next to my hifi there's something very calming about it , beautiful!
That should go to a museum, it's ART!!!
I like many other comments here that have been machining for 40 plus years and I never saw this done. great work. I'm going to have to make one.
That strangely mesmerising.
Turned out great and simple enough to make. Well done..
This is Incredible. Using a standard lathe too and old school measuring,. Great Job!
EXCELLENT. I was needing something interesting, different, and educational to do. THIS will keep me busy for a while. THANK YOU.
I wanted to make a crankshaft and didn’t know how to do this but you opened my eyes thx to you for this amazing video 😊😊❤❤
Brilliant mate! I've been using manual machines for R&D laboratory work that are often 'make-it-up-as-you-go' jobs since the mid 70's and I've never thought of this. I guess you could use a 4 jaw independent, but you'd probably lose some accuracy after a few indexing turns as two jaws would have to be loosened. At least a 3 jaw always returns to the same position.
