Michael, happy to find another crow-eater who enjoys tinkering in the home workshop. Have subbed and will start working through your videos. Cheers, Alan.
Hi Michael, great to see you having a go at this TH-cam thing. Hope people value your work as a necessary foundation for this toolmaking thing everyone seems to think is easy. Keep doing it your way, and good luck.
Thanks Wes. Just trying to pass on what I've learnt/ discovered/ been shown. Hope you and the guys are doing well. As a PS, if there are processes that it would be handy to have a clip of to show students, let me know - always looking for ideas
Good to see you having a go Michael. I think you have a lot to offer viewers and have always respected your comments on Metalwork Forum. You have just entered a whole new world. All the best with your new venture. Rob
@@occasionalmachinist There are a lot of people out there looking for information. I realised that 11 years ago when I put up a couple of videos simply to try out TH-cam as a concept and was surprised that people actually subscribed to a no name channel - totally unexpected. In essence it's a community service. Cheers Rob
I have just stumbled upon your channel, and it is wonderfully aligned with my own proclivities. I come from the industrial design and manufacturing world, and fell in love with manual machining as a sophomore in college nearly 40 years ago. Know that what you share here is well appreciated.
Michael, just found your channel, I immediately subscribed. Seemed right to start at the beginning and binge your entire portfolio. Thanks for taking the time to share 👍👍😎👍👍
@@occasionalmachinist in my case, this makes certain I actually *wear* them, and not just while running lathe, mill, etc. By necessity, I went cheap on glasses about twenty years ago, and fell (due to clumsiness I was *born* with) while crossing a street in front of where I lived at the time. The glasses I was wearing then *failed* - they broke/bent; I do not recall which. The scar I have under the left eye from that fall reminds me every time I should look in the mirror: “No cheap glasses if you don’t want to lose an eye, like someone you knew did.” (He was working on a friend’s car.)

Thanks Alan. Couple of interesting looking videos on your channel too, so I might have to have a poke around in the near future

Never quite sure when doing something new like this whether it will work or not, so thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thanks. My story is similar, helped by some great instructors (and lots of practice)

Thanks for signing up. I'm new to this, so the clip quality gets better as I go I'm told.
Subbed.
Those bifocal safety glasses can be expensive - about 700$ for my last pair, bought a few years back, and long overdue for another pair!
The ones I use at the moment are plastic and cost A$10 to A$20 at safety shops. I would not like to get 'proper' ones, although one day...
