Stoning the sides of a doll bit, another great trick. Hats off to you.
Thanks for watching Michael. Best Wishes.
Dear Dave, Lovely advice. Thank you very much. Not many of us left who know such things. And you know a good deal.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the view. Best Wishes.
Hi Dave. The tip with the dowel pin to bore an accurate hole is one new to me and a beauty as I don't own many reamers. Keep the tips coming. Tony
Glad to help Tony, Will have to get the Brain going and see what else I have forgotten about. Thanks for watching. Regards.
@@daveticehurst4191 That sounds like me talking Dave lol. I know exactly what you mean. Tony
Hi Dave, Thanks for passing on your knowledge via these 'old boys tips'.
Yesterday, I made a pair of your 'tee slot alignment blocks' and one of your 'ball bearings with a flat' for holding irregular work pieces.
Keep the videos coming.
Regards Paul, Ex Pommie, now a proud NZ'er!
Fantastic Paul, at least I now know of another set of table stops are now out there. You will definitely find them useful. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Well done Dave, there will be a big audience for this stuff, keep them coming. On my next workshop tips video, I will point people towards this. Very useful for those that have not had the opportunity to pick these things up in industry. Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon, Please do might get me a few more subscribers. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks again for taking time to pass on an engineers hints and tips.
No problem. Thanks for your time to watch. Regards.
Nice Vid Dave. I'm an old timer like you and I am amazed how many young fellers don't know about taking the edge off a drill for hard brass! Here's another tip, sharpen the bloody drill straight away or later you will have forgotten! Or, put it in the index upside down. All upside down drills have to be sharpened before use in my workshop. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Regards.
These are some great tip. I really liked using blocks in the tee slots for longer parts.
Glad it was helpful Bruce, Save all that winding to and fro with a DTI. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Hello Dave,
Some good tips and tricks there... I don't recall seeing the paper vs chatter one before.
Take care.
Paul,,
Hi Paul, Glad you enjoyed it. The paper trick can also help when drilling plain holes, it jams up the flutes and helps to stop the drill making a non round hole when drilling thin ish bar, less than 1/2 inch thick. Regards.
Fantastic. Have inherited a workshop with large and miller from my very talented father. Much gear. Have some idea of what does what but don't have the knowledge that he had by far. Still, got to begin somewhere....and this wonderful channel is just what I need! Cheers Dave. Keep up the great work! 👍
Hello Robert, glad to be of help, and so pleased that you now have a workshop, albeit you are unsure as to how it all works. Please feel free to email me with any questions and I will be only too please to help you out. Could even do messages video if you have an I phone. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Thanks. There were a few ideas I didn’t know about.
Hi Greg, So glad that you found out something new to you in the World of engineering. Thanks for watching. Regards and a Merry Christmas.
8:20 I have a new set of drills of which I’ll do this to them, fantastic info Dave!
Thanks for watching and your comment. Don't go too mad with stoning the radius on both corners, just enough to remove the sharp corner. Good luck. Regards.
Thanks for the tips Dave, Very helpful!
Hello Debbie, Happy to help. Thanks for the view. Regards.
Thanks Dave.
Very good tips.
We’ll done
Kimber
Hi, thanks for watching, hope you learned something today. Regards.
Hi Dave
Great tips for all those beginners out there, thanks for sharing
cheers
Kev uk
Hi Kev, No problem 👍 Glad you found it useful. Regards.
Thanks Dave. Simple and effective stuff. Enjoying your content. I am a mechanic by training trying to learn to machine. Always learned to be nice to the senior guys and they will share. 😉
Glad to help, keep watching, hoping to get the grey cells powered up again soon and see what else I can come up with. Trouble is that if you don't do things on a regular basis you begin to forget. It is only when you see someone else trying to do it that you remember, then say that is right or wrong. Suppose I will have to troll through a load of YT videos to see what people are showing wrongly and make an update video. Good job we are heading down for Winter here in Oz, Early dark nights, so indoors by 4 pm, plenty of time to find videos before bed. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Thank you for sharing Dave.
My Pleasure. Hope You Found Some Useful Tips. Thanks For Watching. Kind Regards.
Thanks for those great tips!! From California. :-)
You are so welcome Don, hope you can put some to great use. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Excellent information! Thanks for sharing-
Glad it was helpful Robert. Thanks for watching. Regards.
Very good Dave, ex fitter and machinist here over 50 years experience but I still learned something from these videos, cheers
Hi Jay, thanks for the view and comment. You are never too old to learn something new. Regards.
Thank you Dave for this educational and informative hints and tips video. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew
Hello Andrew, Glad you enjoyed it, will see if I can come up with some more ideas. Regards.
Great little tips, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Regards.
Dave you are a legend. I am a fitter with 30 + years experience but not very much experience in machining. I'm Starting to taper off now, and bought some machiney for my shed to tinker with when I retire.
I have learned that you never ever stop learning. I love your videos mate keep them coming brother.
I have 2 sons whom I'm trying to pass my knowledge down to, it just seems no one wants to teach young people properly anymore and all the knowledge and skills that old tradesmen have accumulated will be lost forever.
Thank you so much for your videos Dave. I'll share it with my sons so we can work together on projects and learn from each other. They have some great ideas.
Take care.
Thank you for the view and this great comment. So pleased to hear that your intend to machine in your retirement and that your Son's will hopefully learn to like it too. As you say it is a dying art now, mostly CNC operators these days, just load the part and push a button. No skills needed in that, unless of course you have been trained in programming G codes. Regards
Great video Dave. Tips and Tricks from a lifetime of experience! Hopefully you can do more of these. Cheers.
Hi Crispin, thanks for the view and your comment. I particularly did the drill oversize one as you said that you had not heard of the trick when I told Jon's Workshop about it. People seem to like this video, 250 views already. Regards.
Yes it's an ideal kind of topic to make videos about. Cheers
Great content, thank you very much, so kind and generous of you to share the experience that you've built up over many many years!
My pleasure, so glad to found something useful to you. Thanks for watching. Regards.
I've fitted a 3 tonne lathe and a 2.5 tonne mill and a 1.2 tonne mill into my single car garage in Adelaide
Hi Adam. Bung some picture or a bit of video up on YT for us to see unless it is being used for Government Secret Work. LOL Thanks for watching. Regards
Well - that's me convinced on the need to stone off the drill edges for brass. SHOP GEM! Going to need to machine up some steel balls as well.
You can do it in a collet with standard bearing balls about 1 " diameter and a carbide tool, then just 400 grit emery and oilstone to remove any tooling marks . Have fun doing it Stuart. Regards.
Thank you Sir you made me a whole lot wiser . I enjoy the lessons.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching. Regards
I always gave non-ferrous metal cutting tools a bit of negative rake. Drills, counter-bores, taps and end mills.
Good for you. Thanks for watching and your comment. Regards.
Sending love and support
😊
Good morning, Dave. Those are all great tips, thanks for sharing them with us. Cheers
Glad you like them! Perhaps there is something you did not know. Thanks for watching. Regards.
@@daveticehurst4191 I really liked the tip about the drill to stop the hole oversize. also the chatter fix for chamfer making. Cheers
@@Randysshop Glad I could help. You see so many other TH-cam videos with people showing drilling and countersinking with such bad results. There is no need once you know how to fix the problem. Regards.
Wow Dave. You never cease to amaze me. Keep those great tips coming!
All the best.
Andrew
Hi Andrew. Thanks, will do. I particularly did the the tee slot trick so you could actually see it in action. Thanks for the comment. Regards.
@@daveticehurst4191 clever, yet simple. I must make some!
Good tips Dave. Those are some of the classics. Tc, Mike
Hi Mike, probably do a few more a bit later. Just wanted to get something out there for the Newbies, especially the drilling brass before someone has a nasty accident. I see so many on YT just willy nilly drilling brass with it snatching. Thanks for the view. Regards.
Great tips
Have you seen the tap extension dodge where you drill a hole the size of the flats of the square end of the tap through a piece of round stock
Then you drill the stock lengthways the diameter of the tap shank
You can make the extension as long as you like
Hi Nik, thanks for the view and comment. Yes I have used the tap extension idea, but I used grub screws in opposite holes so that the tap does not drop out if you are trying to tap down a deep recess. Regards.
Nice...work, good tips and tricks...knowledge is power...👍😊
So nice of you to say that. Thanks for your comment. Regards.
Thank you for video, and magnanimous knowledge share.
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it of interest. Hope you now know something that you did not know before. Regards.
very good video dave...thanks for your time
Very welcome, hope you managed to pick up a tip you did not know about. Regards.
Thanks. I knew one of these tips.
Glad to help. More to come. Regards.
Watching on your old videos sir
So nice of you, thanks very much. Regards.
@@daveticehurst4191 always your welcome sir, your the best i love your videos i'm so enjoyed awesome let's goo
Great tips. Thanks Dave.
Any time! Regards.
Im a manual machinist too Dave.. we are as rare as rocking horse poop now mate.. lol
Hello Paul, thanks for the view and the comment. Thought that I would try to pass on some skills to the 'Newbies" before I push up the Daisies. LOL
great tips Dave
Thanks 👍 Take Care. Regards.
Thank you for the excellent tips. I'm a new amateur hobby machinist and I think I'm going to use/make/spply every single one of these.
+1 new subscriber for you sir! 👍
If you'd be open to a small piece of constructive criticism (?):
I had a really hard time following the sound track. Your spoken words - which is what I most want to hear! - tend to be much quieter than the machine noises. When only one or the other is going on, I could fix it on my end by fiddling with the volume level (fairly drastically sometimes). My ears aren't the best anymore, so the hard part for me is trying to hear your voice while a machine is running.
What I know about making videos would fit in a thimble, so I don't know if leveling out the sound is something that can be done in editing, or if a highly directional microphone pointed at your mouth is the answer. Or maybe some of each? I used to be into audio, including doing sound for live music performances. It's been a few decades, but I think a decent directional mike can be picked up pretty cheaply. (If I still had any of my old sound equipment, I'd send you one.)
Anyway, I very much appreciate the information, and your willingness to share it with people like me. Thank you again,
Doug
Hi Doug, thanks for the view, Sub and comment. I am using a lapel mike clipped close on my shirt almost up to my chin. I suppose I should speak louder, but as I am on my own, I still feel embarrassed talking to myself in case someone should appear at the open door and not realise I am recording and think that I am going crazy talking to myself. LOL. Will see what I can do on future ones. Thanks again. Regards.
@@daveticehurst4191 making YT vids is not as easy as it looks...I know I'd never bw able to do it...keep perfecting your presentation... 😎👍☘🍺
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 Thanks for watching Peter. Regards.
Clamp the workpiece
Hello Erik, thanks for watching and your comment. The whole purpose of the demonstration was to show how a standard sharpened drill would grab in brass. YES, clamping it down is always a good idea, BUT it would still have grabbed as the drill broke through and snatched the drill quill handle down, which would have been harder to show. Even drilling with it clamped in a bench vice and if you were using a power drill, it would have snatched through and perhaps if you were not expecting it to happen; make you lose a grip on the tool. Hence the demonstration after backing off the drill with an oilstone, same speed same setup, the hand held vice did not move. Hope that clarifies the purpose of showing the vice not being clamped. Regards.
