Machinist extraordinaire. Truly a skilled art form but you make it look so simple. The reuse of materials gives one a "why didnt I think of that" moment.
I really like that one. After viewing several of your videos on making tools for your equipment that makes your equipment more versatile, I have subscribed.
I like that you take everyday items that other people have tossed and turned it into a useful tool for your equipment, now I don't feel so bad by holding all the stuff that I have I can reuse it now. LOL thanks
I love the video artefacts you get when your check is spinning... it looks like you've got some kind of sci-fi force-field surrounding your chuck.
First ever home-shop lathe to be powered by anti-matter.
Excellent workout and idea , thank you for all your offering hand made low cost inovations machinery used.
I have used these weights for making cast iron gears.... the material is of a surprisingly decent quality.

You come up with some really wonderful ideas. I never even thought about the old weight idea! I got 10 or 12 of those of different size laying around my garage. If not even in my basement. I'm always in need of a back plate for something is this is a wonderful idea thank you very much. In the drilling attachment that you made for your lathe is brilliant
This man knows what he`s doing - fine!
Thank you Steve! Another cheap and cheerful build that is really useful. Like the idea of the weights as a base...and using it on the DP is a great idea. Been working on RT angle one with some scrap 1/2" AL that is 4" square for use with my 3" mini chuck. I use it for all kinds of things, like holding round stock tight for deep hand tapping. My plan is to print a degree wheel and apply it to the AL and make a pointer so I can rotate to any degree and lock it down with a clamp of some type or maybe with a cam. Thanks for all you bring to us!! ~PJ
Never seen anything like this done before. the cross drilling holder and all of this is above my skill level.
I would like to extract your knowledge and inject it in my brain ... time's too short to learn everything myself so this method would allow me to learn more before time is over!
Very good video! Thank you for sharing!
Oh that's clever and really well done. Thanks for sharing, that is just what I'm looking for.
I could do with you being here in lockdown so your inventive brain teaches me how to make all the clever tools I know I need for my projects. Very very interesting I shall be hunting out your other videos in case you are already offering lessons that I am looking for. Well done old son. Very best wishes .
Very clever source of cast iron. Great idea.
I like that drilling toolholder. Great idea on the weights. The brass is almost always expensive, though.
Brilliant...exceptionally clever and talented, Engineering Work at its best. Keep it up, Outstanding. Thank you.
Good reuse. I do a bit of that myself. Materials from commercial products tend to have decent properties and they are basically free. Win win situation for sure.
Steve - another great video! Your vidoes are functional and help those with lesser talents see that they too can product a quality tool at a fraction of the cost of tools at a big box store.
I am now scanning craigslist for cast iron weights, great idea. Just made a plate like this for my rotary table to adapt a 4 jaw chuck and used a old flywheel from a tread mill motor. My chuck was a 6" and the flywheel is about 6.5 so it works perfect. Did it similar to what you did here. For those doing machine work on a mill and not playing around with a drill press you will want to look for a rotary table. It works similar to this but better.
Hi Robert,....Sounds a good job. The weight bars are also great. I'm not sure what type of steel they are but they seem to machine nice and you get a lot of material from the long ones. Thanks for watching....Regards Steve

take what you have,make what you need.love it.
An inspired build. Thank you.
Great job. I like recycling the weights. Thank you
Well Done Steve 10/10
Great video and tutorial, just went up in size on my lathe, will be making a couple of these for sure......
Very good video, clever usage of old stuff. Bravo.
Excellent idea, thank you for sharing.
That was a great build it was inspiring I got some really good ideas from it
Excellent shop project and a very useful tool!
Thanks
thanks for video,,the way you told how everything was done clear and strait to the point thanks again ,,good day sir
Thanks for watching and for your encouraging fèedback..Regards Steve
Very impressive, nice to watch skilled and resourceful craftsman
Very nice job!! Very good idea!! I have found so many good ideas watching you-tube, and this is right up there with the best.
Thank You!!!!!!!
Hi Michael.....Thanks for watching.....Regards Steve
Great stuff ! Very useful for quick indexing, going to make one too!
im more interested in the radial indexer behind the lathe chuck..and the tool post horz.drill..very nice to have
Brilliant sir!
Very good idea..Your voice reminds me of my grand dad I sure miss him.
Very well done! Thank you.
Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing
Great idea for finding materials and a very nice project well done. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks
Hello steve I checked the realization of the indexing of the back plate chuck (the 3 jaws on the Myford) and I found nothing.
Did not you film?
It's easy to do a second when the first is done, but how did you do it first?
Another great idea, Steve.
I keep telling my friends to check out your channel.
This stuff is great.
Thanks,
John
Hi John Thanks
Really elegant solution!
Thank you Sir for excellent ideas.
Intelligent design.
Congratulations!!!
Very Smart Steve. Gives me a few ideas. Thanks.
Hi Garry Thanks.
it's interesting the way mpeg image compression reacts to rotating objects
Wisdom! Can't beat it. Kudos to you my friend, excellent video :)
Hi Michael....Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
lovely job. I really like the drill mounted on the cross slide, I will definitely be making that.
Thanks. I use the cross slide drill all the time. When you make one you will be surprised at how useful it is.
Well done sir,keep them coming.
Great idea for someone who's trying to literally make an entire vehicle I need ideas like to these thank you
Hi Deion, Thanks. That must be a great project, making an entire vehicle! Regards Steve
Very nice work, I like your way of thinking. I'll be keeping my eyes open for used weights. Your lathe looks a lot like a Atlas.
Honestly, one of the very best lathe project videos I’ve seen. EXCELLENT job! I’m across the pond, but you and I seem to think alike. I also repurpose metal objects for many projects. I have a 1937 South Bend 9” model C, a 1952 South Bend 9” model A, and a 9”x20” Asian lathe model CT-918A.
+Metalman 329 Hi thanks. Yes its great to save money by repurposing things. I have just used an old 2lb cast iron scales weight to make a backplate for an 80mm chuck. You have a couple of nice lathes. Thanks for watching.. Regards Steve
Excellent ideas, thanks!
Great project, thanks for sharing
Beautifully Done !, thanks very much, I thoroughly enjoyed your video !
Thanks
Hi Steve
Great idea. I'm sure it will be used a lot.
You could have used locktite if you drilled clearance holes through the cast iron for the chuck bolts.
Thanks for the idea
Nice to see the drill jig in action. That was a super project as well.
+Kenneth Gilbert Hi Kenneth ....Thanks for watching...Regards Steve
Great idea and very useful tool that broadens the scope of the humble drill press.
Thanks
Hi Steve, again a very useful idea and well explained. You let things look easy. Thank you for sharing. I keep looking forward to your video about pre-ground lathe tools and what to do to improve them. Keep them coming.
Best regards, Piet
Thanks, I hope to do the tools as soon as I get the time.
My Regards Steve
Thanks Steve another well explained project 👍
EXCELLENT THANK YOU
Great tip using old cast weights.
That is very nice. Genius
Hi steve ive been watching your videos now for a couple of years this is the first comment just to say thank you l have a lathe but no mill and just play in my shed but you do give me ideas thanks again.
Hi Frank, Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment, I'm really pleased when I here things like this. It makes it all the more worthwhile to me. Regards Steve
What a great idea. I love repurposing.
Jim Porter
Love the video. Great Idea for the drill press indexing chuck. Us old dogs like learning new tricks.
Hi, Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Great idea, great project, great video. Thank you much for sharing.
Hi Thanks
Excellent idea! Nice work too, I believe it will someday become a project I need to do. Thanks for the well made video.
Hi Bill, Thanks
That is a great Idea for material I tried window weights they turn real nice too. Great project Thanks for the lesson
The window weights look a nice size. I've seen quite a few of those at my local recycle in the past. I never thought about using them. I will get them if I can in the future!...Thanks.
Impressive, thank you for sharing.
that's a really cool idea and thanks for sharing
+adrian harrison Hi Adrian, thanks for watching....Regards Steve
TOO GOOD, VERY ADMIRED.
Great idea and nice work.
Thanks for this video! I am just starting out but can see a need for a 4 jaw chuck for my Drummond lathe. Unfortunately it has a 3/4 x 10tpi spindle thread and so it seems my only option will be to make my own backplate... somehow!
Steve, Another very useful idea for the shop. Thank you for your teaching, I haven't really thought about using weights as a useful item to make things of. This is good thinking. I feel like you have an overall plan on boot strapping up you shop. Each project feed up to the next to create still more capability in your shop. Thank you for sharing you wisdom with us. This is very inspiring indeed.
Hi Glenn, Thanks.
TOO GOOD, VERY ADMIRED
THANK YOU...for sharing.

Funny that i bought a weight a couple of days ago-- and today before i saw this video i was thinking it was some good stock to play with.There so much stuff at Goodwill if you can figure out what to do with it. NICE JOB!
Nice! Great ideas!
Nice job, thanks for the video
It's... it's genius.
Nice work sir!
Brilliant!
Very clever Steve nice work
Using barbells as material is very resourceful!
Thanks, very good!
Another amazing video. You are a master at make-use. This makes me wonder, if you where in my shoes, where you could not afford a lathe at present, but really want one. How you would go about making one from scratch? I seen it done on youtube a few times. I think most though have a lathe to make a lathe, that and they do sand casting of aluminum. I could do the sand casting and maybe turn some parts on my watchmaker lathe with Jacobs chuck. That and I was considering buying a 3 jaw and adapting the plate to something. Your thoughts appreciated
Awesome job
Excellent job mate
What a cracking idea :)))
Hi Thanks.....:)
Very nice job.
Very nice project Steve. Good idea on the weights. Have you considered making a locking column slide for below the table so you can support it whilst fine adjusting the PCD ?.
thats a good idea. good video to. Thanks.
Hi Michael....Thanks for watching...Regards Steve
Steve excellent videos, real easy to understand. I am new to this field and have learned more from you than any other series on you tube. Keep up the good content. Just curious how come you don't except patreon so you get donations for your effort and time. Also, do you ever post plans on how to build your projects?
Steve it's now January 2020 Have you used your indexing chuck very much it certainly was a great idea and a very Professional build like always.
Super great build man , thumbs up !
Thanks
I am Vietnamese I like your video .Thank
Hi Phuoc, Thank you
More great stuff! I love it.....
Thanks
Good idea👍
