I love that your channel promotes the hand-made approach. There seem to be whiz-bang tools for everything these days, but watching someone make things from scratch is so much more satisfying. You're a great inspiration to little makers like me who have only a few tools to stick at it!
Thanks very much! :)
This is a cool experimental build. I really appreciate it when makers like yourself show the trial and error, rather than just chopping the footage out. Everyone learns something about the materials and their limitations. It also means that people can think of alternative ideas for the design without having to see what works and what doesn't. Good stuff.
I really appreciate that you show the processes you used to get to the finished product!!!
I am glad you are "man" enough to show your errors, failures, or not-liked end results.
Folks have said the "necessity is the mother of all inventions."
WoW - What a way to put a professional touch on any project. Thanks for not giving up and getting it done right. Showing your trials with not so good results can save guys like me from trying something that isn't going to work.
very clever! loved your problem solving!
I love how much I see makers on youtube showing their audience more and more of their process instead of just a quick A to B guide. This was a really educational experience and entertaining as well.
These videos from you are,in my opinion,the most inspiring and helpful around. Most of the videos I watch try to suggest that all goes smoothly ALL of the time.
.....your videos are more like my world,some bits go well,some don't .
So thanks for your honesty and for showing that persistence,like yours,is SO important.
Thank you for showing us the entire process including your setbacks. It is encouraging to me as a beginner that not everything works the first time.
The pressure bearing is flattening the knurl as it’s formed. The process both creates and destroys the knurl at the same time. What you’re creating is more a pattern than a knurl. It’s was hard to watch but appreciate your industrious enthusiasm. Sometimes okay is good enough. ‘She’ll be right mate’.
Great video. I learn a lot by watching how other people work and problem solve. Thanks for sticking with it.
Thanks so much for your videos. I often learn a lot from them. When I was a student in school, we used to do knurling on a metal lathe and we used motor oil on the knurling tool to lubricate the tool and the job. It tends to make the cutting process easier on the tool and the job... Thanks again for your efforts. Great job.
I appreciate your honesty in showing your failures and mistakes when you are making m video-it encourages me to not give up when attempting something new; just keep on persevering. 👌
Love the file idea as everyone has one! I'll be working on making that more practical in the near future. As for the knurls themselves, if no one's mentioned it yet: the straight knurl only needs one wheel. The diamond knurl normally uses two as you have them, but they do make patterned diamond wheels where only one would be necessary. Bear in mind that the distance between the knurls is a product of the diameter in which you're knurling. Also, the diameter of the bolt head is increasing due to the displacement of material caused by the knurling wheels. All in all, the file trick is indeed the most inventive and if perfected could be of huge benefit to the weekend warrior. Tha is for the videos and keep up the work!
Great video! This is just what I need too. I made marking tools, push bars and sticks out of scrap exotic woods as presents for some woodworking friends but I couldn't 't find a reasonably priced knurl nut in the size I wanted without paying a fortune. The plain head bolts in brass and stainless steel are easier to find in my area and on eBay so now I can start making my own thanks to you my friend. I just started to weld as well so I will be adding the "lip" part onto the jig. thanks again!!
Thank you! That's one of the reasons I make them, it's difficult to find them in the size I want with an M10 or M12 thread. :)
Thank you for sharing. I used a little oil on the knurls and it seemed to work a little better.
Love the experimentation and problem solving.
Neat idea! Try some cutting oil next. When we knurl on the lathe we use a large amount of oil. I brush it on thickly continuously, but if I had a way to flood it with oil while cutting I would.
My Dad had a lathe when I was a child. He built a metal tray that it sat on with an oil reservoir and a pump to continuously bath cuts with oil. I used it to make knurled brass knobs for a Bass guitar that I built in HS, man that was fun. I really miss my Dad, he is why I enjoy these videos so much.
@@DBYNOE I feel the same way about my Uncle Harrold. Miss him every day.
Thanks - I’ll try that! :)
@@PaskMakes A lot of machining can be done dry, but knurling involves a lot of pressure, so pretty much always requires fairly generous oiling. Brilliant designs all. It would never have occurred to me to use a file. Thanks very much for the voyage. I clicked "like", so another troll bites the dust.
@Dominic It's either called flood coolant or mister, depending if there is air or not used to push the coolant that is a mixture of soluble oil and water... ;)
Congratulations Pask,you never give up ! Very good idea . Before your video I thought that a knurling could be done only with a lathe.Thanks.
Thanks, I was lost trying to find a cool pull for a bandsaw box I made. The rounding and polishing of a bolt was something I never thought of and it looks so custom-made and special. Keep up the great videos.
Your editing and camera work are so incredibly good. You make it look easy and effortless, but I know how much work goes into it. Keep sharing!
Thank for putting the whole process in the video, including the false starts - the development process just as interesting as the actual physical process.
You are a brilliant man and I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing you experiment and troubleshoot. It must be even more satisfying to build something with tools you've created yourself!
It is refreshing to see something 'not go as planned' for you, and then see your process for figuring it out. Thanks for the humility to share with us!
Dear Neil, brilliant take on an old tool, especially for the 95% of us that don’t have a metalworking lathe.
I especially like the thoroughness of documenting your thought process and problem solving. Thanks....
I love that you show us when things don't go according to plan.
Me: does woodwork at school for the past 3 years. Me still: rewatches Pask Makes cause his videos are so inspirational and informational
I appreciate your perseverance. Plans A, B, C, etc. That's how many things work out.
It is not the first time you show trial and error. That's a winning concept. Makes it so interesting to watch. Well done!
Thanks for sharing the whole process - all the trials and experiments. We can learn at least as much from the way you think and tackle difficulties as from the final result.
Thanks J Dewitt for the idea. This is so cool. And Neil, it always amazes me what you are able to do with metal fabrication with simple tools.
Thanks Matthew! :)
Brilliant jig, thanks for showing what went wrong so it helps me if I make one. Very keen to try
Came here from the scrap wood hand planing tool. Beautiful work all together!
Every woodworker will enjoy having a metal working lathe. It makes making jigs and parts so much easier and precise.
I’ll get one at some point for sure! :)
When I got mine I was amazed at the possibilities it gives me. Especially when making my own tools. The sooner you get one the happier you will be the rest of your life.
I enjoy your videos because you show the failures along with the successes.
I love your projekts. It's really cool that you don't give up as fast as we see for usual, but you don't just give up a bit later, you give it hundred new tries if nessesary. Until its works. That's awesome and i'm really impressed... thankyou for your videos!
King of the jig's. I also used one of your jig in my video about making chisel handles. Thank you for inspiration.
Very interesting trial and error, then success! Thanks Neil.
Thanks a million for this one!
I’ll make one this weekend..
Wicked, Jig would be great for someone that restores old vintage equipment. :)
It is things such as this that keeps a private shop self-sufficient and out of the parts stores. Cheers!
Mike
I enjoyed watching you try different ideas until you found a solution. You have inspired me to try knurling. Thanks!
Absolutely love how you show the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Trial and error was great. You're a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing!
I like that *trial & error* approach. Well done.
haaaahahahaha! God bless'ya, Oz! That vice technique had me laughing with great appreciation. First thing tomorrow, I'll be out in my little shack, making some homebrew knurled screws and bolts to go into my home made woodworking tools and other projects.
Thanks,
Glad to kept your trial and error process within this videos. Shows how much of an engineer you truly are.
I hope I haven't missed a video yet but if I have, I'll catch up in no time. Every video I watch is so inspiring and I enjoy every one of them.
The file and vice technique saved me a lot of work a while ago, big thanks for that.
Excellent idea! I like the way you are not too proud to show your mistakes. Not many TH-camrs are like that. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for always making my day better when you post a new video!
Thanks for sharing and bringing us along on the journey of the build.
Everytime you file something it turns out wonderful. I wish I were that good at filing.
Knurling Techniques have always fascinated me.
& Thanks for all the awesome videos.
What a craftsman!!!!! Thank You!!!
I was just thinking about your knurling process a couple days ago while brainstorming an idea. Cool to see this project pop up!
The TH-cam algorithm gathers user information far and wide.
I did the same thing using a large rotary pipe cutter and substituted knurling wheels for the two bearings and a bearing for the cutting wheel, worked OK.
Very nice work! The best part is your persistence! Great inspiration for many of us who give up too soon!
Good to see you stick it out and make this happen. Something I take for granted on the lathe, you have made into art without one. Well done, really clever!
I reckon this has to be one of the most least thought of, but most useful jigs around. Feking excellent I thought this was
Just like prototyping! Loving all the iterations and problem solving.
Your channel is excellent. I most like your videos showcasing DIY engineering projects. One of the most satisfying things in the world, which can be seen clearly in game design, is the sense of constant progress. Using the tools you have to make tools that help you make new tools. It’s a beautiful thing really.
Looking forward to your videos
Brilliant. Watching you iterate through was just fascinating. Thanks for bringing us along!
Verry nice, I like the result and I think Ill make one. I allso like your honesty in sneaking up on a good solution by not being afraid to fail and never give up to try again!
Great effort mate! Really appreciated how you didn’t give up after the first failure. It paid off in the end.
Very interesting prototyping phases. It's amazing how something may seem very simple on the surface, but once you try to build a tool to make that 'thing', you realise everything hidden from view. The forces involved in knurling (and turning and milling of metals in general) are immense! That's why all the machines and tooling are so strong and heavy. I'm not surprised that you snapped those bearings in half in no time. They just can't take the loads involved. 😎
Pretty cool idea and your results aren't all that bad!
I enjoy your videos and am learning a lot of different things!
Looks good! Great trial and error process.
You are a man after my own heart. I love doing projects like this. You are a clever fellow.
Way to hang in there! I enjoyed seeing your trial and error method.
Great content. I often end up working nuts and bolts into jigs, nice to learn how to knurl using a file.
I use a coupling nut to hold and protect threads when chucking the nut into the drill for spinning, instead of taping the threads, but only works on the smaller diameters. 1/4, 5/16
Your talent with woodworking precedes you, but I notice the spring-load center punch and when welding in other videos, no gas shield cover so it must be flux wire. As a retired vehicle tech, these things are not spoke of, but I notice and appreciate the metal talents you present us!
You have names for the some woods you use, never heard of them, but nice for where you live. In Omaha, NE. we have few choices for native woods species, as exotic woods are out of reach for the full-wallet changed. I am going back in time within your channel as time permits to watch everything PASK MAKES. In my book, well worth it. Love it!
Thanks for showing the process that you went through to get the working model. Well done.
Great video and cool jig!
Some things require some experimentation, but you learn a lot in the process. I admire people (like you) who won't give up!
Really cool to see your process from start to finish!
What a process! Really enjoyed that one!
Very useful tool Neil, finding time to dream up and put these ideas into action is a skill and ability you have in spades! Well done!
Even though it's a jig I would never do (probably use the first method IF ever need to), my hat off to you my friend not just for your ingenuity but for the honesty/courage to show the fails, something only a handful of pot-casters will do... Kudos my friend, I enjoy every minute of it. !!!
Really appreciate your effort..
most important thing is that u almost show all the errors u make, that really replenishes us to have more ideas to fulfill them..
good luck,luv from India 😃
Gnarley knurling Neil.
Stainless is a difficult material to machine compared to mild steel or brass. It might need a drop of lubrication.
If you could hold a file card and brush the swarf away as you go it improves the finish.
Maybe just the compressor blowing past.
That works a lot better than I would have thought. Pretty cool.
This is just what I wanted to see. I need brass and stainless knurl screws for some projects coming up and now I know how to make my own. Thanks! ~Dolly
Great video! Nice that you share the test that went wrong also. The result turned out great!!
loved the trial and error of this project, and a cool up grade to the previous one of the same topic and seems super easy to use , tks once again ,
Very creative solution. Thanks for sharing. You probably want needle bearings. They are cylindrical and spread the load a lot better than spherical ones. I learned the same lesson on my steady rest design. Also lube would help.
Great to watch your prototyping process! Neat tool! Something I can use.
Learning from your mistakes was very satisfying. Thanks for the video!
Мужик! Ты гений! И больше всего мне нравится, то что ты говоришь-" не знаю как получится, давайте попробуем! Не попробуешь- не узнаешь!"))) Молодец!!!
Love the idea, hopefully a follow up video will come when you get the finer wheels.
one of those things that when you need it, it's super handy.
Congratulations !!!
You have solved it with wit and imagination...👌👍
Cool idea. I have used 2 files and rolled a bar between them to create a knurl. One file on the bench and push and pull the other over the bar or bolt. Good for creating a bit of interference on a fit.
I like the idea and wished I had one for those odd times when I needed a knurled fastener.
On a side note, use cutting oil. Not only will it help cut better looking knurling but should lubricate the knurling wheels on those bolts.
The first two red bearings reminded me of your pull-out drawer from the bed of your truck
I love toolmaking vids. The progression from idea to final working model is very interesting. More please. 👍
That was lovely. I have always liked your videos. The trial and error process was really educative and showed what processes could be used. Keep up the great work.
That was me! I am immortalized in a Pask Makes video!!
No worries - thanks for inspiring me to make it! :)
@@PaskMakes I just feel bad that my initial idea didn't work out. But you completed it and got it working! Great job!
Shows you don’t need complicated tools. Many wait until they have machine tools before attempting anything and paralysis sets in. Way to go!
That’s a great idea. Should be pretty easy now that you have done all the prototyping. Thanks! 🙏🏼
Bravo for not giving up.
