I keep waiting for you to make a tool and then a few weeks later discover that your grandpa already had one almost identical to the one that you spent time designing and making lol. What a side project that would be!
This project is like the gift that keeps on giving. The end? Is never in sight! Oh well! I guess we'll wait for episode (they're not parts) #∞. Thanks Brandon. You make me want to attempt it but I'm not sure I'd have the patience or live long enough. I'll have to practice "Mill" a lot more first. Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇲👍
You have a very interesting mind, I keep trying to figure out whether you are a comic that has a inclination towards mechanical tooling, or something else. Guess I will have to continue watching you draft and machine until I figure it out? And that box, does it self empty- or the installments self disintegrate? Enjoyed this installment…..
I was about to get pissed of when you faked the end of the episode. Got me good 😂 I love this channel. I Aspire to get a machine shop in my future house. The attention to detail and cinematography is spectacular. Thank you for making these videos for us to enjoy!
Smooth voice, sophisticated work, patience, practice, pleasant sounds and music, good filming editing. You are a gift to the TH-cam community. Thank you for sharing your work!
@@InheritanceMachining Sure, I subbed to your channel on only the second video, when I learnt that the first vid was not a once off, but that the quality of your workmanship in reflected in every facet of production. I am choosy about where and how I want to spend my time, it is not wasted on your channel.
Addictions are a bitch. But I heard they have medications for that. But medications have side effects. I think its easier just to deal with the Addictions!
Hobbyists don't need to make money, and making tools is fun. Production shops do need to make money. So hobbyists tend to trade off their production time making actual parts for making tools, while production shops tend to just buy the tools and save production time for customer parts. Both spend time making fixtures though. Those tend to be inherently custom, so they can't be bought off the shelf. Production shops tend to spend more time on fixturing since they're more likely to have repeated jobs where it pays off to reduce setup time and increase repeatability; hobbyists are more likely to use a manual setup since they often only make one of a given part.
Not to mention production shops can amortize expenses. A thousand dollar tool for one part is a hard sell. A thousand dollar part for a thousand parts probably saves you machine time worth more than your per-part cost.
Never in my life I thought I'd hear you saying "yeet", I absolutely lost it. Also, the plate is looking glorious. Very, very good build. It's lovely to see the production quality go up each time
I am a carpenter not a machinist. I have no experience with any of these tools or techniques and this is probably my favorite channel. Can’t say enough how entertaining, genuine and talented you are. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't fully appreciate just how innovative and elegant your design is. Hat's off to you for the beautiful design, machining, and the elegant lighting and video quality! The trifecta of TH-cam machining channels.
You know Brandon, I've watched your progress more or less from day one(well, the magic of youtube recomended your videos to me at the 4th one, but that's close enough), and the skill progression is just unbelievable. You obviously knew what you were doing to start with, but in you went from a "semi-beginner" machinist to someone I can easily compare to the likes of This Old Tony and even Joe Pie. I find that astonishing. I used to teach machining to college students, and in the same timeframe they would, best case scenario, learn to turn a diameter down to about .2mm tolerance. Apples to oranges comparison, of course, but it's very exciting to see none the less. This project has easily been one of my favourites(next to the knurling tool, perhaps.. 😉) and the excessive complexity and overengineering speaks to me on a very personal level. Kudos to you, my friend. P.S. - the "eyes" on the box of shame made me giggle more than I care to admit 😁
You are unbelievably kind. Thank you Erik. It's been great having you here since the beginning (yes I'll count that as the beginning 😉). I guess my grandfather got me headed in the right direction though I've done the vast majority of my machining work and learning after leaving home. I think it's also a testament to the other masterful creators like Tony and Joe who I have been watching and learning from for years. At any rate thank you again for the kind words!
Thanks for the video, the inspiration was right on time. I put scallops into one of my projects later that day because it was exactly what the project needed, I just didn't know it till I saw your video
As always, beautiful work. Loved seeing the curved chamfers being cut, then seeing them drop into the chamfered groove around the OD of the table. So satisfying!
Good God that is beautiful. Plus a quick side project to hold the parts, no real visit to the b.o.s. and still more to come. You sir, are a pleasure to watch.
This is one hell of a phenomenal build! I absolutely love building tooling and sir your tooling skills are second to none! Thank you as always! -CY Castor
I’m a woodworker and have no intention of ever machining metal parts like this, but I love this channel. It scratches my itch for precision without feeling like research for my own work so I’m able to just relax and enjoy your process.
Be careful. I thought the exact same thing once. Then somehow I ended up with an 1898 lathe in my garage... Used it mostly for reparing/upgrading woodworking tools so far.
Viola!!! ( 25:35 ) It's the little touches that add the cream to the layer cake, in humour as well as homebuilt tooling. I'm glad I wasn't drinking coffee when that one came up! It definitely raised a snorkle....
I'm glad those dovetail slots are slated to play a fiendishly cunning role in relation to corners with no convenient hole at the axis of the desired round. I suspected as much! I am thinking of making an appliance for my copy mill, for corner rounding. Inspired by your success, I think I might make it rather more fancy than I had initially proposed.
This is quite simply one of the best hobbits machining channels on YT. And I don’t know you or your grandfather, but I’d imagine he’s smiling down that his legacy and lively hood is being passed on and continued. Amazing work
This is superb man, like mega super big brain. And the way you used that chamfer but to make such cool curve was dope. I thought why this guy wasting material but then that cut made it look worth it.
Phew! I promise never to mention the unmentionable ever again, I nearly cursed the build. When you put all the parts together, with the clamps, it just looked amazing. Thank you once again for sharing your time with us. Have a great weekend.
Looks like all that effort paid off quite well~. Would love to see you redesign and machine parts from your existing power tools, like handles and such!
absolutely love your videos i find them absolutely beautiful. The one thing i do miss is the surface grinder i think it’s a beautiful machine that hasn’t been seen for awhile.
I am not qualified to judge your mechanical genius, but this is the best video in the field up to date. An electronic & software engineer like me, who has worked side by side with mechanical engineers developing gadgets and systems, should know pretty well who to trust. There is also this old saying, "If a person tells you they know something, but cannot explain it, they are probably as ignorant as you are". And this narrator explained every single action he performed... Thank You... I am more than happy to subscribe.
Stunning work! IMHO, I think you have climbed the ladder to a very close second place behind Clickspring! This is one tool I honestly believe there would be a market for the plans. I think a lot of "home machinists" would love a tool like this. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Another great job and video. As an engineer myself with 45 years experience I am very impressed with your skills and love seeing what you will come up with next. If I may my only criticism or advise would be to invest in a verity of carbide tips for the different martials and finishes you use , the correct tip can make the job so much better and easier. They will make your milling and turning even more of a joy.
Thank you! That is actually something I've been meaning to get into. with the exceptions of a few specialty cutters I've had to buy, I'm still working through the plethora of inserts and mills my grandfather already had.
I dont know why watching machine work is so damn soothing. i did a little drafting in highschool but that's the extent of my experience with it and that's been 20 years.
Welp. This video broke the threshold. I became a Micrometer level patron. I have my own shop at the house and have watched all of your videos. Several of them many times. Made the knurling tool you made. Used it to make my own spindle square the I finished on father's day where the knurling tool was needed. I boogered up a reamed hole for a press fit and the knurling tool saved the project. I really enjoy your formula for videos. I'm watching your Q&A video on patreon right now. You really should put in a shameless self plug into a video promoting your patreon. I would have done it sooner if I knew that you dropped out of the day job to make your full time job sharing experiences and learning with us along the way. I really appreciate the work you do. Thank you sir.
Thanks again Jeremy. I try not to be too pushy about the Patreon on the channel. It's kind of weird asking people directly for money 😅 I figure if people are looking to support the channel, they will track it down on their own. And maybe stay a little longer than if I say "hey! I need your support!".
Yes you did! My head still hurts trying to understand why/how/who in their "right mind" would come up with this ( I wanted to call it a contraption but that's impolite) masterpiece. And then have the presence of mind to video it for the world to see. 👍🇨🇦🍌🥋
I don't think I've seen you use one before, but a really nice tool to have for chamfering large diameter holes, is what I call a chamfering bar. Take a cheap hss, or brazed carbide boring bar like you find in the cheap $20 to $60 sets, and regrind the cutting edge to 45 degrees. Pop it into the boring head and you can accurately chamfer any hole the boring head can handle.
I've been thinking. Maby if you were to make a few screws that can plug up all the threaded holes. They can help prevent the metal shavings from getting stuck in the holes and make cleaning up a breeze.
I just love the fact that you do all your drawings by hand. That's just impressive these days. Do you keep them? Have a catalogue for all your builds? If so, that would be a treasure for someone in the future!
I think this tool MUST be inscribed with degree markings alongside each stop hole and handle hole. Without them, it would be far, far too easy to accidentally use the wrong hole midway through a complicated setup (the Box Of Shame beckons...)
Brandon, the fact that you take the time to respond to all the comments you get on your videos is truly heartwarming, and the sign of not only an excellent creator but amazing human as well, truly striving to get to know and interact with you community. Loving the work, keep it up, and stay safe out there.
Every time Tony uploads it breaks my heart, because I know I have to wait an undefinable amount of time until his next upload. I fill that void with this channel, Rotarysmp, and maybe a couple others.
What I really enjoy is your ability to predict and consider your needs and associated details. For example, registration surfaces. That and order of operations; you truly understand designing for production.
Thanks! As part of the filming process I end up thinking through all of my operations and features in detail ahead of time. But even still sometimes I back myself into a corner haha
Hello IM! That first block setup has you looking more like a CNC than a manual operator! Good on ya~! The one thing I would caution you against is that you can "potato chip" your top surface and cause a bow when you un-clamp the part from the vise. Pretty easy to incur a .005"+ bow when you're clamping on such a small amount of material. One way to get around this is to use something like a Mitee_Bite style toothed jaw. You can use reduced force because the clamping load is penetrating the extra stock. Else, you can calibrate you self and just leave enough to skim off once all your features are created. Ok... enough out of me... I'm only @ 9:52 as I write this so... back to the video! (and thank you for being open to my rantings --- I love to share what I've learned to save folks time and I love even more watching people learn in real time!)
Now you have me curious! I would expect this for a thin part, but are you saying you've seen this on thicker stuff like I did here? Appreciate the input, man!
@@InheritanceMachining Definitely seen it. I think you'll be surprised where deflection can take place! Most of the time, I actually use a torque wrench for closing my vise. Nothing super high end mind, just a box store special... But it's helped me hone in over the years. Also, really awesome fixturing for your radial stops! That's the kind of thing that would be great for making runs of these! But a 2 off? Jeeeez! It stands on it's own but also, that kind of demonstration really goes to helping the other makers and up and comers out here get better!
You do real inspiring work. Really like watching the projects go from drawing to finished product. I took drafting and mechanical drawing in high school it was the first time i understood the why of algebra and geometry. I had an excellent teacher Mr Martin who taught me something other than dry numbers. I do like to watch you and Joe Pi who teaches a lot of setup and shop math and i love the teaching of the single point threading away from the head stock. it's really nice to do it that way when doing course threads No worries about crashing your tool or over cutting the threads that way
I appreciate that. Thank goodness for good teachers! And yes I love the reverse threading technique. I blanked on getting the lefthand tool though haha
I loved this tool when it was just sliding smoothly (what a nice, big, fidget spinner !)... but now it has ton of features and more to come, and look amazing on top of it ? Waow, well done !
I’ve been watching TH-cam for well over a decade and this channel is really one of the best I’ve seen. My time spent watching is never wasted by unnecessary information unrelated to the video and instead it’s spent being shown high production, well filmed and narrated content. Your voice is very calming and you make the very complex tasks look like child’s play. Keep up the great content and look forward to more.
I'm a mechanical engineer but i don't have any mechanical engineering hobby's at home. Your channel is very educational and practical. I just subscribed!
I really love this channel. I’m not an engineer nor a machinist, just a dude who enjoys what you do. Trying to figure out a 10,000th is mind boggling for me as I’m metric, hahahaha. Please keep up the incredible work! Simon
I must say I wish I had your attention to detail. Major props on the fine detail. You have a high standard when making your pieces that I wish I could hold myself to.
Great channel! I grew up around manual machines in my dads mold shop. As a CNC guy now, I admire the skills, but mostly, the patience it takes to do all this setup for simple things like radiused corner, etc.
Absolutely brilliant. When your method met madness I was amazed that this isn't a readily available, even if years ago, luxury production level fixture/tool. Kinda reinvented the wheel unless I've missed something...great job.
I'm hooked, especially loving that each and every individual project builds on previous skills and introduces new skills and techniques which expand the repertoire - it's almost like you planned it that way. Trust me I can appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into each and every one of your videos, you're really got something going on...
My mind is blown and im not really able to wrap my head around all of these amazing features just yet. Maybe another video will help, or another hundred! I think i speak for the community when I say we wouldn't mind another hundred videos of you finalizing and using this incredible tool! Thank you for this amazing video and showing the world your incredible designs.
Firstly, this channel really exploded in popularity- well deserved and well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Then - the quality of everything is just on another level! …..And you still take the time to read and reply to viewers comments! - you sir are a real gentleman! God bless!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I love working with my basic hobby machinist tools and the precision stuff I used to use when I worked as a millwright. Watching you make stuff out of blocks is the best thing and I love how you are able to figure out geometries and movements in order to make things work while you're still in the drafting phase. Thanks for putting out these wonderful videos and please keep them coming.
I very rarely comment on TH-cam channels, but I wanted to let you know that yours is the best machining channel out there (and there are a lot of really good ones). The things you make are superb and the attention to detail second to none. Keep up the great work!
Now I think your going to fair. All your custom tools. Is over the top for a home shop. No just messing with you. Grat job. Hard to believe how fair you have come.
So inspiring to watch your design and machining process, with your calming voice taking us along a concise narration, full of self-deprecating humor. Almost devine! Thank you!!!
The BOS actually made me snort laugh, love it. Outstanding machine work as usual, your channel is like therapy for me these days. Your gramps would have been so proud of how good you became, keep it up mate.
I keep waiting for you to make a tool and then a few weeks later discover that your grandpa already had one almost identical to the one that you spent time designing and making lol. What a side project that would be!
Or that he made the same tool a couple of years ago and forgot it in that special place he’d definitely never forget about…
Honestly not an unlikely thing to happen 😂
@@nocturnhabeo
That sounds like something I’d do
This project is like the gift that keeps on giving.
The end?
Is never in sight!
Oh well! I guess we'll wait for episode (they're not parts) #∞.

i can feel the future nostalgia from the intro music already. love how far this channel has come in such a short time

@@InheritanceMachining No. Way. The level of functionality and ease will pay for itself in spades.
Yes you did! My head still hurts trying to understand why/how/who in their "right mind" would come up with this ( I wanted to call it a contraption but that's impolite) masterpiece. And then have the presence of mind to video it for the world to see. 👍🇨🇦🍌🥋
I don't think I've seen you use one before, but a really nice tool to have for chamfering large diameter holes, is what I call a chamfering bar. Take a cheap hss, or brazed carbide boring bar like you find in the cheap $20 to $60 sets, and regrind the cutting edge to 45 degrees. Pop it into the boring head and you can accurately chamfer any hole the boring head can handle.
Oh, that's smart! I think I even have something already around I can do that with
I'm far, far from an engineer, but I love your videos! Thank you for a great job!
My pleasure! Thank you as well!
I've been thinking. Maby if you were to make a few screws that can plug up all the threaded holes. They can help prevent the metal shavings from getting stuck in the holes and make cleaning up a breeze.
Not a bad idea!
I just love the fact that you do all your drawings by hand. That's just impressive these days. Do you keep them? Have a catalogue for all your builds? If so, that would be a treasure for someone in the future!
Thank you. Absolutely I keep them. Just an informal pile next to my table at the moment. But ill find a nice spot for them one of these days 😁
@@InheritanceMachining I'm still voting for over-engineered infinitely expanding rotating cabinet something thing.
I know nothing about machining but love these videos. They are so informative and entertaining to watch.
Thank you!
I think this tool MUST be inscribed with degree markings alongside each stop hole and handle hole.
Without them, it would be far, far too easy to accidentally use the wrong hole midway through a complicated setup (the Box Of Shame beckons...)
Probably a good idea haha
Brandon, the fact that you take the time to respond to all the comments you get on your videos is truly heartwarming, and the sign of not only an excellent creator but amazing human as well, truly striving to get to know and interact with you community. Loving the work, keep it up, and stay safe out there.
Thanks, Skylar! I probably answer more comments that I should 😅 but there's a lot of great people here!
8:50 god he’s turning into another tony
Nothing wrong with that. Tony's awesome.
@@thealienrides215 oh I’m not complaining by any stretch
Every time Tony uploads it breaks my heart, because I know I have to wait an undefinable amount of time until his next upload. I fill that void with this channel, Rotarysmp, and maybe a couple others.
What I really enjoy is your ability to predict and consider your needs and associated details. For example, registration surfaces. That and order of operations; you truly understand designing for production.
Thanks! As part of the filming process I end up thinking through all of my operations and features in detail ahead of time. But even still sometimes I back myself into a corner haha
Insta-click... never need to read the description before watching 😎
Or the title
😁
Hello IM!
That first block setup has you looking more like a CNC than a manual operator!
Good on ya~!
The one thing I would caution you against is that you can "potato chip" your top surface and cause a bow when you un-clamp the part from the vise. Pretty easy to incur a .005"+ bow when you're clamping on such a small amount of material. One way to get around this is to use something like a Mitee_Bite style toothed jaw. You can use reduced force because the clamping load is penetrating the extra stock.
Else, you can calibrate you self and just leave enough to skim off once all your features are created.
Ok... enough out of me... I'm only @ 9:52 as I write this so... back to the video!
(and thank you for being open to my rantings --- I love to share what I've learned to save folks time and I love even more watching people learn in real time!)
Now you have me curious! I would expect this for a thin part, but are you saying you've seen this on thicker stuff like I did here? Appreciate the input, man!
@@InheritanceMachining Definitely seen it.
I think you'll be surprised where deflection can take place!
Most of the time, I actually use a torque wrench for closing my vise. Nothing super high end mind, just a box store special... But it's helped me hone in over the years.
Also, really awesome fixturing for your radial stops!
That's the kind of thing that would be great for making runs of these! But a 2 off? Jeeeez!
It stands on it's own but also, that kind of demonstration really goes to helping the other makers and up and comers out here get better!
"I'm not one for clubbing seals but...."
One of the best machining videos on TH-cam 👍
😯 thank you!
Almost qualified as the ASMR YT machinist but there isn't many machine sounds making it through.
Ooooo that is a freaking sharp tool man. Fantastic build!
Thanks, Keith!
Love your channel it's so calming.
thanks 😊
You do real inspiring work. Really like watching the projects go from drawing to finished product. I took drafting and mechanical drawing in high school it was the first time i understood the why of algebra and geometry. I had an excellent teacher Mr Martin who taught me something other than dry numbers. I do like to watch you and Joe Pi who teaches a lot of setup and shop math and i love the teaching of the single point threading away from the head stock. it's really nice to do it that way when doing course threads No worries about crashing your tool or over cutting the threads that way
I appreciate that. Thank goodness for good teachers! And yes I love the reverse threading technique. I blanked on getting the lefthand tool though haha
“Nice work” is too much an understatement. Beautiful work and wonderful concepts. Thank you. Les in UK
Thank you so much, Les!
Really like what you have done here. The handle looks great
Thanks!
You have created a fantastic looking set of tools.
I mean its just stunning and then seeing the golden clamps from a previous episode. Just tops it off!
😁 thanks a lot!
Hi, from Ukraine. I'm really satisfied your work. How nice, smooth and precise parts are. As engineer it's pleasure for my eyes. Thank you
Thank you!
I loved this tool when it was just sliding smoothly (what a nice, big, fidget spinner !)... but now it has ton of features and more to come, and look amazing on top of it ? Waow, well done !
😁 Thanks!
Those stops are ingenious. Lovely stuff
Thanks!
I’ve been watching TH-cam for well over a decade and this channel is really one of the best I’ve seen. My time spent watching is never wasted by unnecessary information unrelated to the video and instead it’s spent being shown high production, well filmed and narrated content. Your voice is very calming and you make the very complex tasks look like child’s play. Keep up the great content and look forward to more.
That really means a lot. Thanks so much or the kind words!
Such good stuff, good man, your grandfather would be proud, and he sounds like a man who knew what pride was.
Thanks a lot 🙏
I frikking love your narration, you are basically saying out load what all us former machinists are thinking as we see your video :D
😂 machinist's think alike I guess
Honestly I am soooo much in love with your chanel and your projects honestly just woooow
😊 Why thank you!
I'm a mechanical engineer but i don't have any mechanical engineering hobby's at home. Your channel is very educational and practical. I just subscribed!
Give it time and you will 😉 thanks and welcome!
I really love this channel. I’m not an engineer nor a machinist, just a dude who enjoys what you do.
Trying to figure out a 10,000th is mind boggling for me as I’m metric, hahahaha.
Please keep up the incredible work!
Simon
Thank you! And for your reference its about 1/20th the thickness of a human hair 😁
@@InheritanceMachiningsmartass
@@InheritanceMachining Can we have that in a standard measurement like football fields?
I must say I wish I had your attention to detail. Major props on the fine detail. You have a high standard when making your pieces that I wish I could hold myself to.
thanks a lot! To be fair though, my standards are driven by a mild amount of OCD 😂
Great channel!
I grew up around manual machines in my dads mold shop. As a CNC guy now, I admire the skills, but mostly, the patience it takes to do all this setup for simple things like radiused corner, etc.
Proper engineering, your grandad would be proud!
😊 thank you!
As a fellow machinist who makes boring bars and end mills, I enjoy seeing how they are used
Absolutely brilliant. When your method met madness I was amazed that this isn't a readily available, even if years ago, luxury production level fixture/tool. Kinda reinvented the wheel unless I've missed something...great job.
I'm hooked, especially loving that each and every individual project builds on previous skills and introduces new skills and techniques which expand the repertoire - it's almost like you planned it that way.
Trust me I can appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into each and every one of your videos, you're really got something going on...
That half hour went by like a few minutes, it was so slick and tasty. Nice work!
Thanks, Richard!
My mind is blown and im not really able to wrap my head around all of these amazing features just yet. Maybe another video will help, or another hundred!
I think i speak for the community when I say we wouldn't mind another hundred videos of you finalizing and using this incredible tool! Thank you for this amazing video and showing the world your incredible designs.
Hopefully I can manage to get it done in less than a hundred videos though 😂 Thanks, Charl!
Firstly, this channel really exploded in popularity- well deserved and well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Then - the quality of everything is just on another level!
…..And you still take the time to read and reply to viewers comments! - you sir are a real gentleman! God bless!
Thank you, Johannes! 😊
I really enjoy watching your videos. I love working with my basic hobby machinist tools and the precision stuff I used to use when I worked as a millwright. Watching you make stuff out of blocks is the best thing and I love how you are able to figure out geometries and movements in order to make things work while you're still in the drafting phase. Thanks for putting out these wonderful videos and please keep them coming.
My pleasure! Thank you as well for the support
I am from Germany, watching your videos is so satisfying. Learned so many sneaky little tricks from you,thanks for this
my pleasure. Thank you!
I very rarely comment on TH-cam channels, but I wanted to let you know that yours is the best machining channel out there (and there are a lot of really good ones). The things you make are superb and the attention to detail second to none. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate that. Thanks for the support!
Now I think your going to fair. All your custom tools. Is over the top for a home shop. No just messing with you. Grat job. Hard to believe how fair you have come.
A home shop knows no bounds! 😂 Thanks Joe
So inspiring to watch your design and machining process, with your calming voice taking us along a concise narration, full of self-deprecating humor. Almost devine! Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot!
This design is absolutely brilliant! 🤯
Thank you 😁
Ugh! The highs and lows. The fake ending in the middle, with the cliffhanger at the end!! So good!
😎
I very much appreciate the time you put into these and shot setups.
Thanks man!
The BOS actually made me snort laugh, love it. Outstanding machine work as usual, your channel is like therapy for me these days. Your gramps would have been so proud of how good you became, keep it up mate.
😂 Thanks a lot!
A side project AND a grumpy box of shame!!!
Wow this was an awesome video...
Oh nearly forgot.. Brass beautiful brass turning..
Wow what a treat!
😁 Thanks!
This tool just keeps getting better and more beautiful, I can't wait for the next episode.
😊 thanks!
you thought i wouldn't notice the smooth camera wipe transition 20seconds into the video? this man just gets better and better!
😁
Speaking of surface finish with the fly cutter….. now you have to get a shaper! 🤔😎
I'm going to need a bigger shop!
