Well , I have just watched both of your recent videos and have to say you have nothing to worry about your ability to communicate complex technical subjects. Short, succinct and packed with information. I'm looking forward to more of these gems thank-you!
Excellent content and presentation. As as engineer I really appreciate your ability and effort for conveying technical nuanced info correctly and concisely.
Its not everyday that I get to say "I learned something" but today, I finally get the to say it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Adam. I've always really enjoyed learning new things in this trade and today you really did that for me. So again I say, thank you sir.
Seems like welding rod might be a good alternative to nails for dowel pins. Copper plated rod would make for easy soldering/brazing, too. Thanks for sharing!
Adam, great instructional video. Please keep doing more of these videos on different toolmaking topics. Whether it is on grinding, CNC milling, CNC turning, setup, or programming, I will watch all of your videos. I've been in manufacturing for a little over 20 years, and I'm still learning new methods and techniques. Thanks.
So I discovered your chanel by a recommendation fron Stefan Gotteswinter. All of your videos I've watched so far have been excellent, both in their content and the way you present yourself. Thank you! Dougkas Hank
Very interesting. I am learning a lot here. One thing I might be able to help you with. I design Loudspeaker motors for a part of my living. So I can tell you from 25 years of designing woofer and tweeter motors that the lower the carbon the better the magnetic performance. Cast iron is actually very high in carbon unless you are using a silicon iron type material that is designed for transformer laminations. 1010 or 1008 is among the lowest carbon alloys that are available.
This was very well communicated and fascinating. the idea is head slappingly simple but the fundamentals behind it and its uses are genius, loved the demonstrations at the end, I don't have a magnetic chuck to play with but their quirks are fascinating to me. Thank you for the videos these are really good
I love you. I have a injection mold machining company, and the distortion on the hardened pieces is what i fight against every day. Your video and your knowledge are making my days a lot easier.
Great projects and design. Soft iron is the best for magnetic flux. High carbon or heat treated hard dowel pin are very poor materials for magnetic flux transfer or projection. Nails are a perfect solution for this project. Just an added note this is why transformers, motor and generator rotors and stators are made from laminated soft iron. Thank you for sharing your nice projects and ideas.
Andy... I owe you a huge apology. I'm very sorry.. Especially being a person that prides myself on finding "outside of the box" alternatives.. I'm just barely a amateur machinist and a few months ago your video on 3D printed V blocks popped up in my feed.. I was quick to scroll past it thinking what sort of quack would ever trust plastic as a reference material.. Well I've only watched 3 of your videos so far (including the V block one) and I've already learned so much. Thank you!! I can't wait to get up to date.
Well I see you have had some of the big guns chime in so anything I could add would seem superfluous but my 2 cents worth is free anyway so here goes. Some great tips in a nice concise presentation, clear and to the point. I hope this portends to further regular videos, I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge you could share. Thank you.
Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoy the little ‘tid bits’ you include along the way. Those are the real gold. Keep ‘em coming. Cheers, Reuben
Learned something new here. I am an engineer not a machinist but man it helps so much knowing how the stuff you "draw" could be machined, therefore machinist channels are awesome.
I am really glad you started a channel. I love your podcast. Your work is really informative. welcome to the community. It's nice to have another expert (this excludes myself) contributing.
Very interesting, have you ever looked at shoe centerless grinding of bearing races? Two things to note and think about, 1)solid magnetic transfer and 2) designed to lightly hold ring so it can slip a bit so ring is ground very round. There are some TH-cam videos but not much explanation about it. I hope that stimulates some thought and maybe a unique application.
Synchronicity! I just bought my first Schmidt a few days ago, a little #5. You are the first person I have noticed using one. I need to go through your posts to see that 'collection' of yours.
Okay, your Schmidts were not covered in the 2 shop interviews so I hope you can give us a few focused shop tours of your own. I love John, but he can be a little frenetic and I'd love to see things at your thoughtful pace. The second thing was trying to figure out what you were using as a bolster plate, it seems it is an upside down Starrett 119 Bench Block (I hope it is anyway, since I just bought one.) What are you using on the tool side of the press?
@@Bakafish the bolster is a homemade copy of the starrett bench Block. I use it weekly and suspect you find yours handy . The top tool is just a 10mm pin installed in the ram .
@@adamdemuth6563 Thanks for replying! I actually ordered both sizes of the Starrett blocks. The bigger one was really hard to find in stock. I'm in Tokyo, so I need to ship things overseas. I'll order some pins locally now. Any concern of using a bronze or brass pin to prevent marring? Or should I only use hardened pins in a press?
Awesome content Adam. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your knowledge. I'm just a beginner hobby machinist so I'm learning from most videos I watch, but your videos are unique and full of new things.
Man, your videos are so informative and super helpful. I hope you keep making them. I'm trying to learn more about machining and push my limits in the shop, so these are again super helpful!
Hi Adam, nice video! Particularly like the 3-point approach, I'm definitely making my own set. One thought about holding the nail though, Loctite retaining compound is going to work very well in this case, instead of driving nails in. Too much deviation on the drilled hole and shank diameters.
Thanks for the useful information. I just ordered some brass hex stock, and I am going to give it a go. The aspect of setting a plate on 3 points to reduce magnetic deflection is of particular interest. I really liked that gage base you printed to demonstrate the deflection. Keep up the great content!
Great video Adam. I made a similar transfer block using nails in an aluminium plate. I loctited the nails in place, but I think your approach is easier
I just found your channel and find it highly interesting. Im going to binge watch your previous videos and look forward to future ones! thanks for the content!
well done. found your work-life balance ambition as the impetus for this featurette a shared benefit. my own machining creativity has been interrupted indefinitely for a personal LT coding project. i take well deserved breaks toward the favors of the Demuth presentations for the mastery & creativity of your personal tooling discoveries. sublime generosity in these efforts much appreciated & the learning a fair balance.
Oh that IS a neat solution. Definitely borrowing that design to use on my lathe mag chuck so I can grind the sides of round parts without having to fiddle with aligning a fine pitch transfer block
This is one of the few videos I missed. Luckily the youtube algorithm was kind enough to link this one today. Needless to say that "one bag of nails" is now on my shopping list, next to a new magnetic chuck and a surface grinder 😁 That surface grinder is getting more and more priority on my list ...
I recently bought a surface grinder, and knowing this is very useful!, I have a hardware store nearby. so i only have to get some brass bar-stock to make some magnetic transfer blocks!..
I learned something! Thanks, seems way more useful than the laminated transfer blocks. Also neat 3d printed sphero-meter 😃
I was just about to ask if that was 3d printed. 🤩
The awesome and great Mr. Gotteswinter😊👍
Well , I have just watched both of your recent videos and have to say you have nothing to worry about your ability to communicate complex technical subjects. Short, succinct and packed with information. I'm looking forward to more of these gems thank-you!
I like the 3 point contact blocks, I might have to make a set. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video, you clearly broke down complex fundamentals into simple tidbits that we can all follow easily.
What a nail-biter! 😬
Great stuff!!! Thanks, Adam!

ATB, Robin
awesome idea. Came from Stefan. Thanks both of you!
Honestly, that's one of the most ingenious methods i've seen to date. Very interesting approach to magnetic work holding
Brilliant information, well explained as well. Your channel just got recommended. I enjoyed watching. Tony
Holy cow every one of your videos is incredibly informative!
Awesome. This is gonna be the best channel. Cant wait for more
I've been wanting to make some of these transfer blocks. Thanks for the advice. I really enjoy your channel
Well I see you have had some of the big guns chime in so anything I could add would seem superfluous but my 2 cents worth is free anyway so here goes. Some great tips in a nice concise presentation, clear and to the point. I hope this portends to further regular videos, I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge you could share.

Great idea! Learned something new. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Keep up the great videos.
Youre phenomenal. So pleasant and informative. I hope to be like you someday
9:55 I love the non magnetic indicator / flatness gage.
Hi Adam, nice video! Particularly like the 3-point approach, I'm definitely making my own set. One thought about holding the nail though, Loctite retaining compound is going to work very well in this case, instead of driving nails in. Too much deviation on the drilled hole and shank diameters.
This is awesome Adam! Thanks for teaching!
Im going to try this later this week for a fixture.

The aspect of setting a plate on 3 points to reduce magnetic deflection is of particular interest. I really liked that gage base you printed to demonstrate the deflection. Keep up the great content!
Your channel is so wholesome! Thanks to Stefan Gotteswinter for the recommendation.
I just got a surface grinder for my hobby-shop. I am most certainly going to make some of these!
Love these shop tips! I now.have a new project 😊
Thank you Adam, much appreciated from the UK 🇬🇧 👏
Excellent! Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you Adam! I need to build one of the 3 point indicator stands
Hi Adam, great to see you here! Thanks for the video!
Awesome videos please don't stop to doing it...
Those are not just clever, but pretty too! Thanks for this!
Enjoying your videos Adam. Thanks for sharing the joy ..
Great video Adam. I made a similar transfer block using nails in an aluminium plate. I loctited the nails in place, but I think your approach is easier
I just found your channel and find it highly interesting. Im going to binge watch your previous videos and look forward to future ones! thanks for the content!
its spot on, i like to learn new tricks. thanx very good content and well presented.only record your volume bit higher
Great concept . I will be keeping that in mind .
Thank you for the excellent presentation of very useful information. +++😎

Oh that IS a neat solution. Definitely borrowing that design to use on my lathe mag chuck so I can grind the sides of round parts without having to fiddle with aligning a fine pitch transfer block
I too learned something, very useful in many circumstances. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and the fabrication of the risers👍🙂
Cool! Might be very useful in knifemaking for blades after HT 😊
This is one of the few videos I missed. Luckily the youtube algorithm was kind enough to link this one today.
Needless to say that "one bag of nails" is now on my shopping list, next to a new magnetic chuck and a surface grinder 😁
That surface grinder is getting more and more priority on my list ...
Thank you for the video I definitely learned something.
Thanks! Really appreciate your video, also love the incorporation of 3d printed tools for the machine shop.
Cool! I Can't wait to make a set!
Wonderful video :) Thank you!
I recently bought a surface grinder, and knowing this is very useful!, I have a hardware store nearby. so i only have to get some brass bar-stock to make some magnetic transfer blocks!..
Awesome video Adam, I always learn a lot!
All of this video is really clever, and well put together! Amazing.
Great work, thanks for showing!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome Great info and demonstration
I again learned something. That's great. Many thanks Adam for sharing. I small project in view for my small home workshop 😃
Thanks Adam, I’ll be adding a set of these to my collection. 👍
Thanks for the great video. The 3 raised parallels will work great for some hardened knife blade grinding I do.
Keep it up. This stuff is fun to watch and a great learning and sharing opportunity.
Very interesting. I have so much to learn. Definitely looking forward to any wisdom and experience you have the time and energy to share. 👍👍😎👍👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO! SMART MAN.
Gracias por sus conocimientos..!!
Un saludo.
👏👏👏👏
Excellent

Robert
Excellent ! That 3 point trick made me smile... doh !
Several good tips here. Like the to the point, short style
Thanks!
Great tips!! 👍
I’ve always enjoyed making tools for my self
I don't have anything to say, I'm just commenting for the benefit of the algorithm.
A practical application for machine accuracy. Thanks so much
Excellent! Thanks for sharing Adam.
Nice and very interesting video! Thanks for sharing!) Look forward to see what's coming next!)
Great stuff. Thanks.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Wow great information
Very interesting, thanks
1:18 beautiful little part
