I very much appreciate you making these Hemmingway kits. I built the die holder and your video helped a great deal. I ordered this kit and am building it know. Not ever having to work off plans before it make it much more understandable after seeing you build it. Thanks.
Finally I made there. So much to care about these days. I've been convinced to make one of these. Bar stock of any kind as long it's metal, is not to come about unless you pay a fortune. That is most companies require you to buy full length ~ 6 m. Add to that taxes/VAT that makes it very difficult to buy bar stock cut to length as a hobbyist. So Hemingway is where I look too. Despite they are in the UK and I live on the continent. Tell that to legislators!
Having watched a number of your videos , I am ordering the height gage kit. It will be very helpful setting up lathe tolls. Please keep the videos coming.
Très beau travail ! J'aime beaucoup la précision de vos commentaires ainsi que la qualité professionnelle de vos vidéos, bravo ! Bonjour depuis la France !😃
Thanks for these Hamingway series, great little shop improvement projects I’ve never heard of. Great Christmas presents for the home machinist too. Really enjoy your quality of work and the ease and breeze you approach and execute project. Keep them coming! Maybe a shop tour? Count me in for the competition!
Hiya Jonesey. The reason why you have so much support is because you have a great passion in what you do. Great work as always. I don't need one of them as i have various other methods to hand. Regards. Steve.
one of them "must have" tools. i think it can be used as a holder for indicator as well, if another arm is added.. anyway, as always great stuff mate! would love to have one too!))
Ah great job! Another fantastic project. I can’t believe how your channel isn’t huge yet! Love the details and close ups of everything. I’d love to be entered in to enjoy this beautiful piece.
About the cut outs in the blade, if done right you can use them as a rest fore your wire gages when measuring your single point cut threads. Rest two on the top one one the bottom, obviously you’ll have to hold one end of the bottom gage wire but it is infinitely easier that way.
Gosh. Such a fine build, filmed in broadcast quality. I would like to be entered in the competition. Boy would I like to win such a fine tool. If I don’t, you have inspired me to try and make one myself. I am in awe. Thank you for sharing 👏👏👍😀
It's great to see some of these fantastic George H. Thomas designs come to life so many years later. Do you have plans to make any of the projects in the Model Engineer's Workshop Manual that aren't sold as kits by Hemingway? (That retractable topslide is a real humdinger!)
@@joneseymakeswhat speeds and feeds did you use when milling that big flat on the base? 8 just smoked a brand new 4 flue end mill trying to skim off 40 thou. It was so bad I thought I accidentally ran it in reverse!
@@jonnyphenomenon I normally run that cutter at about 1000rpm. As for feed rates I must admit i just do what feels right. If it sounds happy it usually is. Start slower and experiment.
Another great tool build. I would love to be in the draw for this please. The knurling tool is now done apart from the hardening. Most of my problems were down to my tooling as discussed previously and the lack of a rotary table which would have made things safer! My only real issue was the adjusting nut which the drawing calls out for 1" blind threaded hole and a Tommy bar. The adjustment screw is 1.5" so you can't adjust the full capacity of the tool. I made the adjusting nut 1.6" threaded 1.5" blind hole. It may be that I missed something but worth checking out so you don't have to make it twice 😉. Thanks for the videos!
I just downloaded the Hemingway catalogue, they have some really nice kits at very reasonable prices. Now I just have to wait for that big lottery win to get a workshop and machinery to build them 🤣 Until then I'll just have to wait for your next upload. These videos are great 👍
I've only just found your channel Jonesy, and I like your videos immensely. Your commentary is accurate and concise, AND you show all of it warts and all lol. And you've made the Hemingway kit tools very well. I'm going to the Hemingway site and will order this height gauge straight away as I like the idea of it very much.
recently found your channel, Only to add you have done a great job on this and other projects, your presentation is really good I hope Hemingway's are sending you free projects to test drive!
I'm relatively new to this channel, but I've been binge watching since I found it. I'd love to win this gauge. It would be easily the best tool in my shop 😅
I love watching your making your own tools videos. Those of us with slightly green machining skills might as well get in our practice making something practical.
Oh I'd love to be entered into the give away but I also wanted to mention I love your somewhat rapid-fire approach to your videos. Good detail without a lot of fluff. Nice
Hi Nick, thanks for all these Hemingway Kit builds. A few years ago they had a 10% off sale and I bought quite a few. Sadly medical matters intervened and I've only now been able to get round to building them. I do recommend the Model Engineers Workshop books by the late great George Thomas who drew up the designs for many of these tools.
I would very much like to be entered in the giveaway, but I see it's an older video. I must admit I have only started with my lathe and mill and am a bit clumsy at the moment but at 67 years young, I am really enjoying this new hobby. Thanks for the great video and looking forward to more. Doug from Canada...
Thanks for watching Doug, the draw is closed now unfortunately. Watch out for the next one! How are you getting on with the lathe and mill? Any projects you’d particularly like to see in the channel?
Thanks for sharing a the fine build! I'd like to enter the competition as a centre height gauge would be a great addition to my little lathe. Cheers /Patrik
I've just got my own workshop and I've slowly started building my collection of tools and fixtures this is amazing I really wanna try some of these kits
I do believe the point of the cut out in the bottom of the blade is for flatness. What I mean is it is hard to keep a long surface flat. It is easier to flatten a part with minimal surface contact. I have worked with several grinders, but the guy that was thee most accurate, always placed his part across (2) .25" gauge pins. That was the only connection to the table. (Only for finish passes. .0004" at a time)
Really enjoying your videos! Hope you earn lots more subscribers. I would guess the relief under the blade is for sharpening then you can sharpen the tip without creating an angle.
Some of the best machining video around! Very clear and accurate! A great video would also be one about the inserts you are using, they seems to work very nicely! Also it would be great to be in for the giveaway!
Amazing Work! I think the Cutout in the Blades is there to make Them simpler to sharpen. This Tool would be amazing for my Shop. Keep the high Level of Quality. You are producing amazing peaces!
@@joneseymakes die holder kit was great, I used a larger diameter stock to take the metric dies after you mentioned the minimal thickness left for the screws. I used it to do a job this morning. I’ve asked Santa (wife) for the sensitive knurling tool and 7” fly cutter for my post Christmas projects.
Beautiful fit and finish on this project! Thanks for bringing the Hemingway kits back to mind as they are well done kits and relatively inexpensive for what you get, although vat and shipping to the states is a bit prohibitive. Top marks for your voice overs and videography! I'm quite sure your subs will skyrocket soon! Hat Tip, ~PJ
Very nicely made and useful tool, I do enjoy your content and I have done a few of the Hemingway kits in the past. I would like to be entered into your giveaway competition.
Thanks. Always great content. Please keep those projects and tips coming. No tip is too small or insignificant. Much appreciated ! (btw, excellent cinematography, lighting, and narration) Also, please consider me for your give away project, if you are so inclined. Take care.

You have a great channel going here. I'm enjoying all these Hemingway builds.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Loved this one. May have inspired me to start single point thread cutting after a few years avoiding it...
Glad to hear it, thanks!
I have never used any of the Hemingway kits but thanks to your videos I think they could be some good projects. Thanks for your videos.
Glad you like them!
Wow that’s a great height gauge. I’m going to have to make one.Your lathe stills is a joy to behold.Thanks for a terrific video

A very nicely made and useful tool.
Thanks Brian.
I just started working on this kit, and I suddenly realize just how many more tools I need to buy in order to complete it. oh boy!
I had exactly the same problem!
@@joneseymakes Hemingway should make a machinists screw jack kit.
