it usually annoys me when people talk about what "we're" going to do, but when watching Stefan's videos I'm always just flattered that he gives me so much credit
I think I said before - you are the master of precision - puts me to shame! The mic is a work of art... some very patient work on details. Your shop has some very nice facilities these days. Great video Stefan.
I love watching your videos. You do such meticulous work but do it in a manner that doesn't make the work seem complicated. And you also do a fantastic job of explaining your thought processes. Excellent work and a great video series. Thank you for posting it!
This is one of the most fascinating machining projects on TH-cam, no joke, I didn't imagine something like this could be made in a home shop, you make look so easy though, fantastic!
I only can say one thing Stefan. State of Art, pure State of Art.

15:16 I have a little box of ejector pin cut offs in my toolbox because there isn't much that they can't do. I use them almost daily. They make nice nearly disposable drift punches, can be used to help clamp parts for squaring, are useful to swing in a hole or to align a bore with the z axis on the mill, and much more that I am surely forgetting.
I purchased a unimic early in my days as a mold maker. The other toolmakers and I actually call them "step mics" as we rarely use it as a unimic. I used it mostly for measuring steps. If you remove the anvil clamp, it works great for this. Also, you can measure the depths of things like pockets, or anything the base will fit into. It's just handy for situations where a depth mic would be difficult. It's such a versatile tool. I enjoyed your video.
That mic is a work of art! Just beautiful Stefan. I love all of your videos and enjoy seeing your setups and how you tackle a task. Thank you for taking the time to plan, film, edit and explain all of your projects!
A beautiful piece of workmanship. Thank you for taking the time to share all your work with us - I look forward to all your videos. Nearly 11k subscribers now!
Simply amazing ! I could be wrong but are you the first youtube creator to make his own micrometer? Pronounced micrometa in Australia or micromedaaaah if your big arnie ! Stefan you have given me an idea on how i will make my between centres boring bar cutting tool setter using an old micrometer barrel ! You don't need to thank us for subscribing or for watching your videos - we are the ones that should be saying thanks to you for your excellent videos and hard work ! Many of us don't know how much work goes into recording then editing these videos let alone having the courage to stand in front of a camera ! P.s you should have engraved on the other side made in Germany - always be proud of what you made and where it was made !
than you have to look ,his video about making 3 chuck jaws....also only one who is made such art,i did not see anyone else make it on you tube..... ahhh those germans lol
Thanks :) I would never have thought that I would use the grinder as much, even for simple fast tasks like squaring up hardened pins or grinding lathe tools.
Absolutely brilliant ...................of course, wouldn't expect anything else. I don't work to your level of precision Stefan but I do learn a awful lot from you and apply it when I'm out in my own shop. Have just bought the English copy of your reference book as well!
Great work Stefan, as we have come to expect from you ;-) I am already itching to find out what your next project will be. Thanks for your time and effort showing and explaining it all to us. Always something to learn from your projects! Peter
Thank you Stefan we or I could not afford the cost of the education on learning techniques and what can be achieved with the importance of details for the best outcome
Thank you, Stefan! Your work is greatly appreciated by many! Btw, for others, I recently bought a cheapo digital micrometer and it came with a rubber boot that held a ball bearing. A single boot and a single bearing. Not being a machinist (except in my dreams), this became a bit of a head scratcher for me, for some time. To an experienced machinist, I think it would have been immediately obvious what it was for. Put the boot on the anvil (the fixed face) and insert this end into the interior of a cylinder. Then measure wall thickness. Duh..... Of course, the flat face of the spindle end simply doesn't matter since it is on the outside of the cylinder. It is disappointingly amazing to me that I could have scratched my head for even a moment over this one. I'm glad my breathing isn't dependent upon my thinking..... that would be a disaster! Anyway, thank you so much for all of the work you put into making and sharing these videos! We're all very fortunate that you like doing this stuff! :)
Beautiful job, Stefan. All of it. I recently bought an old surface grinder that I am preparing for service, so I am watching that work as well -- and learning from you. By the way, another use of the Stefan-mic is to take the clamp off of it and use it as a height gage.
I did not think of that, good idea! Might be usefull on the surfacegrinder to measure the thickness of parts up from the magnet chuck, good idea, thanks :)
Nicely done Stefan. Just for the record for other viewers, it wasn't necessary to fuss over the Loctite. The barrel on the mic body is held on a taper and very easy to remove. There is a collar on top under the ratchet. The spanner that comes with mics has one end for zeroing, the other smaller end for removing that collar. Just set the mic wherever you like and replace the barrel in the correct place.
Very nice job on that micrometer, I may just build one for myself with one of the micrometer heads I have sitting in my toolbox. Thanks for posting this build.
Well deserved subscribers... I watch because you show good practices and a keep learning from your videos... Thanks, Pierre P.S. not just "micrometers" Also "weiss" lol
Great work. I just found your channel and it is so refreshing to find someone working in metric as I just can't get my head round imperial and all my equipment is metric.
Gday from Australia mate!! Love your work. Another awesome use of a uni mic is using it as an 'inverted depth mic'. Great for measuring small steps and cavity depths!
Damm, I know I'm a bit late, but this really got my attention. Very good stuff! Never seen the ball trick on checking the mikes, makes total sense. Many thanks for your efforts, be sure to watch some more.
Another lovely job Stefan. I can't wait for the making-a-custom-wooden-box-for-the-shop-made-UniMike video! Also congratulations on 10K subscribers! You might not be PewDiePie, but you are sharing very practical knowledge with at least 10,000 more people across the world than he is!
That is the ideal way to file I have found in the motion that you are using with its Stone you do not create facets when you hone in that motion you get rid of facets it's a very important small thing to learn people need to pay attention
excellent work stephan, i really enjoy watching your videos. my only complaint is that i have never wrapped my head around the metric system , i wonder if you could call out the equivalent imperial once in a while like tom lipton does.
its simple ,buy cheap chinesium caliper digital ,and when he say its only 0.01 runout ,push button on inch ,and than you have it ....you will see its a only 0.0005 inch...but there is minor problem ,,ordinary cheap calipers have resolution 1/100 of millimeter or half thou of inch.....so its is a bit a problem since he achieve precision one digit more LOL...for general purpose ,half thou will be enough for you lol
Jig grinding on the lathe, very nice! The radius grinding was a nice touch as well. It looks like it turned out great. No provisions for some insulating panels to keep your finger heat from effecting your measurements? :-)
Thank you! You where the one that gave me the idea for the radius grinding over a pin, worked very well. Is there a reason why you did it with the pin aiming to the left? I had the pin to the right so I could rest the part against the vise.
Stefan Gotteswinter It is just the way it came to mind. It would probably be easier on the right side of the vise. I used a Socket head cap screw for the part that had the straight hole so I didn't need the vise to stop the part from moving left. The part that was actually ground in the video was the tapped piece and it was on the thread section of a SHCS so it could not move except rotation. ATB, Robin
Hey Congrats on getting to 10k Subs, love your vids Stefan. Would love to see your engraving method in more detail. To bring something into this world from thought to complete manufacture of every detail so perfectly. I have a sense of satisfaction and I only watched you make it! So you must be proud and rightly so. Great work.
I have been watching you for a long time and just subscribed. Love the way you present your work. Worth Bastrop Texas the land of German and Czech emigrants..
At the time of publishing 10k, now (march 2018) its 34K well deserved subscribers. As a new bee to machining I learn a great deal form every video. As a rule Its good to never learn form an amateur so to not un-learn their immaturitys later, glad to say here im not. Thank you Stefan :)
Hi Stefan. I am really enjoying your videos. While watching you grind, and watching your grinder shake while you were grinding, I wondered whether you had thought of attaching some small angles at each corner of your rolling cart with a threaded hole and a bolt? That way, you could screw the bolts down to the floor to provide a solid base. When you need to move the grinder, you would just have to back the bolts out a couple turns so that the weight is back on the wheels. (Hope my explanation was clear)
just found your channel subscribed your a very skilled machinist I look forward to catching up on your videos and look forward to the new ones also great workmanship
might we ever see a project video for these magnetic transfer blocks? presumably it's just a sandwich of materials with particular magnetic permeabilities, how hard could it be? I know almost nothing about it, and I'm sure _I_ could do it ;)
hey steffan, I sent you an email about this, but idk if it got caught by spam filter or something, but I was wondering if I could see some more of the tool post grinder that you used in this video and if you had any construction notes on it. I was going to do a conventional style head for the grinder build, but after seeing yours, I really like your design better and it's much better than what I was looking at doing. I was mainly curious how you did it up so it was on center, or if it really even mattered for the tool post grinder and how you have the motor mounted while being able to tension the belt.
beautiful! i laughed out loud when i saw your radius grinding setup. i was wondering from the beginning how you planned to do that. genius!
it usually annoys me when people talk about what "we're" going to do, but when watching Stefan's videos I'm always just flattered that he gives me so much credit
Terrific build Stefan, your demo at the end has convinced me I really need one o these!
Thank you Chris! That and a surface grinder ;)
I think I said before - you are the master of precision - puts me to shame!
The mic is a work of art... some very patient work on details.
Your shop has some very nice facilities these days. Great video Stefan.
in deed i need to get my self a surface grinder i know where i can get a few one that is very very old, a line shaft grinder if you would belive
You are number 1. in the small stof. And Abom in the big stof. Love all you guys. Great community
I like this tool. Obviously, it is very versatile. Once again - as always - superb workmanship!
Thanks for sharing :)
Mr. Stefan, it is a pleasure to watch you plan and work on your projects.
I am still learning to be a Tool and Die guy.
Thank you for sharing. Danke !
Stefan, this video shows how someone with true skill can make something difficult look easy... Thanks, keep them coming. Jack....
I love watching your videos. You do such meticulous work but do it in a manner that doesn't make the work seem complicated. And you also do a fantastic job of explaining your thought processes. Excellent work and a great video series. Thank you for posting it!
Stefan, you are a master craftsman. I truly enjoyed the series and I learn something new in all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share.
This is one of the most fascinating machining projects on TH-cam, no joke, I didn't imagine something like this could be made in a home shop, you make look so easy though, fantastic!
Excellent job Stefan. I am sure there was enough content there for everyone. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK.

Hi mate. All I can say is, stand back Mr. Mitotoyo. That is a slick piece, as per usual.
That mic is a work of art! Just beautiful Stefan. I love all of your videos and enjoy seeing your setups and how you tackle a task. Thank you for taking the time to plan, film, edit and explain all of your projects!
Certainly is a pleasure to watch and learn! Thank you for all the work in presenting these videos.
A beautiful piece of workmanship. Thank you for taking the time to share all your work with us - I look forward to all your videos. Nearly 11k subscribers now!
I bought one of these for £5 at an industrial auction. But to make my own, like you did, would be fantastic. Amazing work from you, yet again.
Your tools are works of art that can be used to make other works of art. Thank you or sharing your time and talent.
A pleasure watching a master craftsman at work. Great build!
Simply amazing !
I could be wrong but are you the first youtube creator to make his own micrometer?
Pronounced micrometa in Australia or micromedaaaah if your big arnie !
Stefan you have given me an idea on how i will make my between centres boring bar cutting tool setter using an old micrometer barrel !
You don't need to thank us for subscribing or for watching your videos - we are the ones that should be saying thanks to you for your excellent videos and hard work ! Many of us don't know how much work goes into recording then editing these videos let alone having the courage to stand in front of a camera !
P.s you should have engraved on the other side made in Germany - always be proud of what you made and where it was made !
Thank you for the kind words, Ian!
Btw: Arnie is austria! Kangaroos are australia ;)
(There are no kangaroos in austria)
than you have to look ,his video about making 3 chuck jaws....also only one who is made such art,i did not see anyone else make it on you tube..... ahhh those germans lol
A nice addition to the toolchest Stefan! Just getting my surface grinder back together.
Thanks :)
I would never have thought that I would use the grinder as much, even for simple fast tasks like squaring up hardened pins or grinding lathe tools.
Brilliant, no other word will suffice, you are an inspiration and a benchmark maker....10/10.
Rich, UK.
I never miss your videos, I feel like ET and can't get enough.
Absolutely brilliant ...................of course, wouldn't expect anything else. I don't work to your level of precision Stefan but I do learn a awful lot from you and apply it when I'm out in my own shop. Have just bought the English copy of your reference book as well!
Great work Stefan, as we have come to expect from you ;-)
I am already itching to find out what your next project will be.

Thank you Peter!
Thank you Stefan we or I could not afford the cost of the education on learning techniques and what can be achieved with the importance of details for the best outcome
You're so skilled, i will give this project a shot. Thanks man.
Thank you, Stefan!
Your work is greatly appreciated by many!

That is a museum quality piece, Stefan. Exquisite!
Excellent nice job Stefan, thanks for taking the time to make great videos.
Stefan. Excellent project I love your attention to the small details. Thank you, Ted.

Thanks for this brilliant two part series. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn.
Hi Stefan - Excellent video. Yours are some of the very best on youtube please keep them coming
Great video/build....35 minutes on the treadmill watching felt like 5minutes of a workout! ATB
I love shop-made tools. Many thanks.
Excellent tool build Stefan.
Well deserved subscribers...
I watch because you show good practices and a keep learning from your videos...
Thanks, Pierre
P.S. not just "micrometers" Also "weiss" lol
Very fine work!
Great project, very useful tool and so well done. Keep on keeping on.
Stefan, beautiful work! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I would REALLY appreciate seeing a presentation on your engraving setup.
Content and delivery both great as usual...10k subscribers is only the beginning for you!
Excellent job and demonstration of precision machining!
Awesome job sir, I want one now,lol. I enjoy watching the process of making objects such as this!!! keep up the awesome work!!
fine work yet again....my next attempted project ! ... thanks again for all your superb videos.
Great work. I just found your channel and it is so refreshing to find someone working in metric as I just can't get my head round imperial and all my equipment is metric.
Gday from Australia mate!! Love your work. Another awesome use of a uni mic is using it as an 'inverted depth mic'. Great for measuring small steps and cavity depths!
Never knew magnetic lathe chucks even existed. This makes a lot of plans much easier!
GREAT VISUAL PRESENTATION ,MECHANICAL EXECUTION AND VERBAL EXPLANATION.
You knocked it out of the park, looks fantastic and you should get years of use out of it.
Magnificent! All you doing is a work of art.Thanks! Regards from Sweden.
Lovely tool, even better that you have made it yourself. Great work
Damm, I know I'm a bit late, but this really got my attention. Very good stuff! Never seen the ball trick on checking the mikes, makes total sense. Many thanks for your efforts, be sure to watch some more.

Wooden box? Brrr, cant weld that stuff ;)
Thank you!
@@StefanGotteswinter you may just need to order some wood filler rod, did I get that right? ;)
Another fine DIY tool to be proud of! Thanks
As usual Stefan, you make it look easy, awesome work, thanks for sharing
out of all so far your explanation is best for my understanding Thank you Stefan!
That is the ideal way to file I have found in the motion that you are using with its Stone you do not create facets when you hone in that motion you get rid of facets it's a very important small thing to learn people need to pay attention

Work of art! Beautiful!
Very nice work, as always. 100 000 subs coming your way, as soon as people smart up.
As usual, extremely well done!
Very nice accurate work.
Excellent work as always Stefan and congratulations on passing 10000 subs. They are well deserved.

Great vid as always Stefan. I really enjoy the toolmaking stuff.
always super excited to see a new vid from gtwr :D

Can't wait till you try making your own gauge block
I have been watching you for a long time and just subscribed.

Very nice work, the easy way you just magicly juggle arround the smallist sizes and set them too your hand. :)
Outstanding retentiveness.
Facinating as always,,added to my things to make
Fantastic. Really like the use of paper to remove ink from engraving. Must try that next time!

Nice work! Great to watch. Learning...
I like this video just a liiiittle more than your previous ones ;) And your other videos are awesome!
Awsome work, didn't expect less from you! Those CBN bits are quite interesting, would be awsome find some at decent prices.
Congrats on 10K subscribers and thank you for another wonderfully informative video series. Fred
Thank you Fred! I will try to keep them coming :)
Beautiful job!!!!
Excellent video, and great project.
Very nice work, that will come in real handy.
