Again, thank you ALL so much for the support, kind words, and just generally following along with the builds and the channel. This community has been not only welcoming and encouraging, but also extremely knowledgeable. I've learned so much already and it's honestly a pleasure to be here! Tune in again on December 23rd for an extra special build. This one is a throwback to a past life, and has been in the works for months. So I can't wait to dive in... AGAIN! ;) See you then!
It's a pleasure to have your videos to watch, you've great style. Plus, this is the community that keeps on giving. And you already are giving. Someone's for sure already following your journey, thinking: "one day, when i'm old enough...". ;)
Just a tip from a fellow machinist, those Kurt vises usually have the ability to mount the movable jaw to the rear of the slide, giving you 5-ish more inches of travel.
I was thinking the same thing. Both jaws (movable and fixed) can be mounted on the back side if needed. In regards to jaw lift, I’ve never had an issue there, but I wasn’t doing super precision work either. Kurt vises (and the good clones) are designed to pull the moveable jaw down with tightening and don’t have as much issue there as the previous generations of machinist’s vises.
Congratulations to a well deserved wall plaque. There are many wonderful metalworking, machine tool, mechanic sites on TH-cam. Yours is truly unique because you share with us your learning process at a very high level. Your voice-over discussions are of very great value to many people. You are humble without being self-deprecating, you have a delightful sense of humour and you are an uncompromising artisan craftsman. Thanks for all of your efforts. We appreciate them.

I'm a woodworker and I feel the same about mitres - the difference between a good set and a bad set shows the mettle of the person that did them and the care they have in thier work.
Each video I watch leaves me with " I know your Grandfather would be so proud " He would be proud of the care you have taken to get and keep these machines in proper working order. He would be proud of the saved materials being used to make tooling. Most of all I think he is proud of you sharing your knowledge with the next generation. I am a machinist by hobby and do job shop stuff as a side gig. You have found the correct balance in content, you neither over or under describe. Meaning you don't bore the ones who have the know how but don't lose the ones who are learning. I look forward to the content of this channel more than any other.
for the slotted fixturing options, i'd recommend looking into how fireball tool dealt with possible slippage of that (downward clamp vs sideways force isnt perfect) using a second non-slotted serrated piece to engage with serrations under the slotted part. great work on the project, always excited to see one of your vids in the sub box! EDIT: also, the clickspring video has been a patron exclusive for years, hes just generous enough to give it to us mortals now
You deserve the gold button. You came out of the gate swinging for the fences and you smashed a walk of grand slam in game 7. Here's to many more years of sharing your Inheritance
Some channels on TH-cam, have millions of subscribers, and deserve it half as much as yours. Your attention to detail, dry humor, unruffled narration and clear talent, and skill with your craft are what keep me coming back, despite as I've said, not really ever doing metalwork myself. Congratulations on 100k, here's to hoping it just keeps climbing! Also, 2024 aluminum, sure does clean up nicely! Even with the minor issues and variances, those parts look sharp and beautifully done! We usually use alclad when we use 2024, because the cladding corroded quickly, and protects the heat treated aluminum underneath, from corrosion, because it's not open to the environment. It's nice to see the potential for beauty buried under an oxidized surface from time to time 🙂
Thank you for sharing the journey! Your videos act as evidence that hard work and consistent effort are required to make the most of any inheritance. You've done your family proud.
One of my quickly blossoming skills is finding alternative things to do while waiting for ordered parts to arrive... When your capacitor blew and you moved to the Lathe... Yeah I felt that. Such a real DIY shop experience.
CONGRATS ON 100K. The snowball has began. Only found the channel because of another youtubers recommendation and over the last 2 weeks have binged the lot. I love the technical drawings, was my favourite part of metal work at school in the early 90's before computers where mainstream.
Thanks! The drafting is a bit time consuming but it's a little less soul sucking than staring at a screen more than I already do. Also, do you remember what channel you heard about mine from? I'd like to thank them
Honestly, we have to thank you for the passion you put into those videos, not the other way around. You skyrocketed to my favourite machining channel, even surpassing juggernauts like ToT and Clickspring. Thank you for regularly making my day!
Every time I watch one of your videos I am left wondering when the next one will come out. Great work, both the machining and the clean, simple video editing. I have to say this is my #1 favorite channel. Thank you for bringing it to life.
Love this channel, been a follower for about a year now, also HI to all the Engineers out there, i`m not an Engineer myself sadly but my Father was so i inherited some of his love for precision and quality, i`m a 53 year old Kitchen Installer from the UK with almost 40 years experience who takes great pride in the quality and accuracy of my jobs, i`m also heavily into ancient engineering techniques, specifically how the so called Dynastic Egyptians cut and polished igneous stone like Granite and Diorite which has a Mohs scale hardness of 6 - 8, there are a good few Engineers out there now who believe, as i do, that these highly accurate monuments and statues were cut on machines similar to lathes and mills, the precision on some of these artefacts is to within 100th of a millimeter yet were are told by the mainstream archaeological community that they were done using copper tools, chisels and dolorite pounders BY HAND, anyone who knows Quartz, as i do as we use it for countertops, knows it can not be cut or shaped using copper or bronze tools to this precision, also under a microscope these objects don`t show impact marks which you would associate with chiselling and hammering, they are perfectly smooth, perfectly square and they even pass the light test with an engineers light test you can`t get that accuracy by hand, many of these artefacts show evidence of tube drills cut at a rate that we can`t replicate even with today`s highly advanced CNC machines, there`s evidence that huge 1200 tonne blocks and single columns were cut using a huge overhead circular saw and Live Centre holes in the bases of 200 - 300 tonne single piece granite pillars, there is an English Aerospace Engineer who moved to the States called Christopher Dunn, his qualifications are second to none in the field of Engineering, he`s travelled to Egypt and other locations around the globe and conducted tests on many of these artefacts and he`s concluded they had to have been cut and created using ancient engineering machines, something we are told never existed in pre history yet the evidence discounts that, there is a channel on TH-cam called UnchartedX presented by an aussie guy called Ben, his channel is dedicated to exposing these incredible highly accurate artefacts and calls for academia to acknowledge that there was once a long lost forgotten ancient highly advanced civilisation that existed before 12.500 years ago and was erased from human history by what`s known as The Younger Dryas Impact, a theory that has since been proven correct and it`s been peer reviewed, my big ask in all this to all you Engineers out there is to have a look at Chris Dunns work and Ben`s over at UnchartedX, see the evidence for yourselves when you get time and if at all possible lend your expertise and engineering knowledge to their work, the more skilled engineers who get on board the quicker science and archaeology will take it seriously, the theory is that in pre history there was a highly advanced global civilisation that had the knowledge and technical ability to build these ancient monuments and that the Dynastic Egyptians only uncovered, inherited and repurposed these sites thousands of years later once Earth`s climate settled down and human population and society was rebuilt, a big ask i know but i know these guys would appreciate your time and skilled knowledge to either agree with their hypothesis or point out errors in their theories, thanks for reading all this, i appreciate it cheers. Glen, West Midlands UK.
I wish I had half the skills and talents you have. I went to college for machine tool and die back in the day, however they didn’t teach very much, mostly how to read instruments, metallurgical characters, READING prints, and just overall basics. I went for two years, afterwords landed a job in a tool room with some of the most advanced shockingly talented, no more like gifted individuals who quickly reminded me that I knew absolutely nothing. I got so discouraged I took another position out on the production floor. That decision still haunts me to this day. I missed such an amazing opportunity if I only could have swallowed my pride and listened to those gifted men. They were willing to educate me, in fact I think they took too much enjoyment from it at times. But my young mind and ego simply couldn’t comprehend or appreciate being the most ignorant person in the room on a daily basis. Now much,much older I can see it so clearly. Those men were at the very top of their game, and they were testing me. And I failed. But watching you and seeing the level of detail, the methodological approach to every step, the skills and tactics applied. Brings me back to that tool room but this time it’s different, now I know exactly what I need to do. And that is shut up and listen,watch, and appreciate the gifts you are bestowing upon us. I’ve worked along side of fellas such as your grandfather, and I can see he has ignited that passion in you and it shows in you content. You guys are amazing. I truly appreciate your content. I hope that it inspires many more younger viewers to embark on a journey into machine manufacturing in some form or another. 😁🍻
For only being around for such a short period of time its astounding how many subscribers you already have! I am privilege to have been here since you only had a few thousand and now at 149K!!! I will say it time and time again that you are an inspiration. If anything you give everyone who sees your work an understanding of what it takes to achieve precision, including me. And for that I couldn't be more grateful, so from the bottom of my heart..... Thank you
It's always a pleasure to see your comment, Charl. Thank you so much for your nice words and for following along all this time. I can't tell you how much that means!
Congratulations! I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and I have been mesmerized by it ever since. I can't wait to see all the videos to come! As an engineering student I love watching your videos and learning so much. It has inspired me to get into the machine shop more at school, and even given me some ideas for projects of my own. As a more digital engineer, it intrigues me to watch you do all these things in an analog fashion, from your drafting to your machining.
Been with ya from the 1st video, and really happy with where you are and where you are going to journey forward and the side projects you will meet along the way! Thanks to your wife too for shooting all this footage. Everything that is clear about your channel - mechanical engineering basics, research, narration, your manual drafting, workshop organization, machine setups and cleanliness, openness to take inputs from all the commentators, videography, the way you carry forward your legacy - everything is noticed. While we may not even have seen a proper first commercial product, Im am sure they'll turn out amazing with all the tools you make to make more tools! Keep it up, all the best and we are all joyful for having inherited your machining channel and we also know your grandpa is so proud of his legacy! Congratulations for the Silver. Thanks again! 👍
I can’t believe how this great channel came out of nowhere. It’s gone from 0 to 155,000 subscribers in just a few months, and deserves every one of them and more.
Got into this trade for the opportunity and money. But truly fell in love with it. Work like yours and videos like yours helped me fall in love with machining. Years back I would laugh at myself for getting excited about blocks of steel with holes in it! Great work as always.
A good tip for fitting oversize pieces in your vise is unscrew the jaws from the inside surface and mount them to the outer surface. I think with your particular vise you could have fit the aluminum fixture plate stock, and they are made for this so your workmanship would not have suffered
“ A lathe is a mill that fell over”. What a brilliant description 👏👏👍😀 Oh my, I so want to make a mini version of this pallet. Fantastic build as always. Thank you for sharing. And as for the ending, you so deserve the plaque from TH-cam. No need to thank your viewers, we thank you. 👏👏👍😀
Congratulations on reaching 100k! Beautiful design for the fixture plate, I'm definitely going to have to make a vise mount sub-plate for mine, and the large cylinder for angle mounting is very clever. Quicker than swapping to my tilting vise. I did design a wallet that I will get around to machining at some point, but I will probably 3D print a few prototypes first to perfect the design.
Thanks Keith! I don't know what kind of vise you have but a couple people mentioned the ability to flip the jaws on Kurt vises like mine. Could save you from having to make the sub plate. I'd love to see your wallet when you finish it up!
Congratulations, I'm sure your Grandfather would be proud. That plate looks beautiful. Like ToT says, when it comes to chamfers, it pays not to cut corners.
"A lathe is basically just a mill that tipped over." I don't remember which youtube machinist said something similar (I think it was Quinn from Blondihacks, but not sure), but they said basically the opposite of that. That a mill is just a lathe that tipped over. They said something along the lines of "every operation you can do in a machine shop can be done on a lathe, just not as efficiently. The ability to do operations on a mill is just a refinement of efficiency, sometimes by a little, sometimes a lot."
CONGRATULATIONS! I work in a precision manufacturing shop, I used to do manual and CNC machining. I found your channel a few weeks ago and subscribed immediately. I love the need for perfection, I'm the same way. I love the content, keep it up. I know you grandfather would be proud.❤️
Oi man are you going to participate in the makers Christmas. I know your fairly new to TH-cam but if you don’t know what this is maybe ask This Old Tony, tbh I really don’t know how the makers Christmas thing works but I feel like you would be a good fit. Never hurts to ask, Damm this is long, anyways love the content!!!
i have been addicted to this channel. its been like a week straight watching videos whenever i can to get caught up. Love the dedication here and your skills are commendable.
Time to finally see the fly cutter in action, and that ridiculous lathe setup, too. Also I gotta say the silver plaque is well deserved. Here's to a quick journey to 1 million!
This is now my favorite machining channel. Your explanations are perfect. The journey is there for all tho see. But what makes it different is your personality and easy to listen to voice.
I’m not a machinist, nor am I a metal worker. Just a humble telecom technician. Your content is captivating, educating and all around entertaining. Been here since the beginning, my 13yo son and I watch this regularly. It’s a nice way to introduce him to different trades and a realistic expectation of what the field involves (math, calculus, trigonometry…). Thank you for putting this out there for us to find.
Every time I see you on the board it takes me back in time and I remember all the guys I worked with, the long hours on projects and all the fun we had at work. love the machining too, great work. Thoroughly enjoy your channel.
Congradts on the 100K Tubers we appreciate the authentic perspective and high value content your are sharing with us. It's because of you I purchased a drafting machine for my antique drawing board.
The only TH-cam channel without a single dud video, amazing to see! Perfect timing too as TOT has had to take a break for most of this past year. Totally different style and I love it!
Your attention to detail is infectious. Thank you for explaining things and making it known that everybody makes mistakes. Thanks again for providing us with some outstanding content. Now I gotta get out in my shop and make something.
Truly inspiring, i am a mechanical engineering student and a machinist hobbyist, I love getting inspired by your videos! They help me see what is possible for anybody who puts their mind to it! Thank you for making videos, they add so much to the community.
Wow, congrats on 1 year and a silver play button, and nice chamfer, your projects are always enjoyable, and it's nice to see a bit of modernization as the equipment starts to show a bit of age. VFD's are a thing of beauty.
Thanks for being here for pretty much that whole time! I cant tell you how much I appreciate the support. I'm definitely looking forward to the upgrade 😀
After a hard day at work, coming home and listening to your baritone voice as you show off your latest project is just fantastic. Very relaxing to watch and also very entertaining. I look forward to seeing your next project! Have a wonderful day!
No thank you Brandon for sharing all of this with us and making some really cool things in the process. Got me into lathe work next to my 3d printers and I love it! Well deserved!
I love your channel. It is simply a joy to watch. Your voice is so calm and listening to your thinking out loud as you problem solve in your pursuiu for incrementally more accurate reference edges.
I stumbled on this channel, I think on an TH-cam suggestion and I have to say it is fantastic. So far every video I have watched has given me something new learned. Thank you.
I am a long time retired engineer, it was a real pleasure to see an old drafting machine and circle template instead of CAD (which I can’t do) and no 3D printing (which I cannot do).
I think you are now one of the greatest Machining TH-camrs of all time. Comparable to This Old Tony. You're just utterly fantastic at not only machining but editing and story telling. Plus your Drafting skills are on point, I never got to do pencil drafting, only CAD drafting
I can't describe the joy your videos bring, there's something so warm about your crafting style. Cheers to 100k!! Looking forward to this being the first of many milestones for you!
Was here when you hit 100, 100, 10k, and 100k. I'll be here when you hit 1m, as will the rest of us, and many, many more new faces. Your grandfather would not only be proud, he'd know that his legacy is in great hands. Thank you for bringing all of us on this journey with you.
As someone who has never worked in this or any related field, but loves craftmanship, I am so glad I found this channel. Seeing you get your play button made me smile! Congrats!
I know it’s a pointless comment but I love this channel. I don’t care what your video’s are about, I open it knowing I’m going to love it. Inspirational, I want to machine stuff 😃
I’ve been watching through your entire video catalog over the last…we’ll say while cause I don’t want to admit my binging, and I have been trying to wrap my head around how to use a lathe to perform milling operations. The “what’s a mathe” chapter finally made it make sense in my head. Not owning either machine or having access to them has given me a bit of trouble when trying to understand how that might work. Thank you. P.S. your inspiration for this channel, grandfathers inheritance, is incredible and production quality has been stellar from the start. Keep going!
I don't know if anyone said anything yet but having a mirror on a stick is a life saver when sweeping in the head. Much less walking back and fourth. Awesome videos!
Yet another great video. I watch quite a few homeshop videos on TH-cam. You are a breath of fresh air. You do everything from the design to the complete job. We'll done
So happy to have found and joined your site, I started off as a Tool and Die apprentice, then Tool and Diemaker in the UK at British Leyland, then moved to the US and several jobs later my Pinnacle was to become an InstrumentMaker for a scientific institute, through all this I was strictly a manual machinist and it sadly lacking now with CNC everywhere. Your skills, drawing brilliant, machining brilliant!!!!
Out of hundreds of subscriptions this is the only channel I watch all the way through every video. I could easily sit through hour long videos if you every decided to make them. Amazing how fast this channel is growing. I look forward to all future content.
It's just so much fun to see you work your way through the challenges you set yourself, and your style of editing somehow makes every episode like a little fairy tale.
I have a lot of fun watching your videos since I don't get to do much manual work anymore and seeing you pull out little tricks is like dredging them from my own memory, plus plenty of clever variations on tricks I haven't seen before.
I began my machine shop experience in 1966 and I have been around some damn good machinists since then and I am here to tell you that I am thoroughly impressed with your intelligence, skills and the finished products to back it up. Hats off and five stars to you Sir. Art from Ohio PS I think you would enjoy watching Kurtis in Australia at Cutting Edge Engineering here on TH-cam. He is absolutely amazing.
The craftsmanship and detail of your work is absolutely incredible. I honestly love the production quality of your videos. I can't wait to see where this ends up going. Your Grandfather would be proud.
Yours is now my favorite channel by a long shot on TH-cam. I wish you many years of prosperity and growth as I am learning so much from you. Thank you!
That round bar to adjust the plate angle was mind blowingly awesome lol. I'm still somewhat new to machining been teaching myself for a few years from a home shop and just recently started teaching myself cnc machining by taking over the small shop at work. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the entire place that knows anything about machining. But I am learning alot from your videos as well as others, thanks for the content!
Again, thank you ALL so much for the support, kind words, and just generally following along with the builds and the channel. This community has been not only welcoming and encouraging, but also extremely knowledgeable. I've learned so much already and it's honestly a pleasure to be here!

I will watch and REwatch these videos over and over. Super high quality. Love the journey
i enjoy your video's very much...(enough that I even watch the adverts to make sure you get paid)
Thanks for always making my day with relaxing videos and interesting techniques!
It's a pleasure to have your videos to watch, you've great style. Plus, this is the community that keeps on giving. And you already are giving. Someone's for sure already following your journey, thinking: "one day, when i'm old enough...". ;)
No sir
Thank to you ❤️
As a mechanical engineer that uses inventor every day, I find your hand drafting very therapeutic to watch.
Agreed, makes me feel so inferior using CAD 😂
Same, I had to watch it again to even hear what he said, I was so focused on the drawing.
Same
I spend all day every day on CAD. I also spent 30 years drawing artwork. I don't miss it, but it is nice to watch.
@@ajosepi1976 it's ultra therapeutic to watch someone else do the work XD
Well done, its been amazing watch this channel grow. On to a Million i say
That truly means a lot, Colin! Thank you. I'm here for the ride!
I just added mine to help reach a million!
I think I’m starting to get an idea of what Colin watches in his free time
That adding of a slight chamfer to the play button is just 👌
Just a tip from a fellow machinist, those Kurt vises usually have the ability to mount the movable jaw to the rear of the slide, giving you 5-ish more inches of travel.
I would be concerned that it wouldn't give a true flatness
Thanks! I didn't even think of that... I'd imagine jaw lift is more of an issue though?
@@InheritanceMachining Maybe its just time to make a new vise?
Depending on which vice you have, you can also move the fixed jaw to the outside and thus have a range up to the lenth of the vice.
I was thinking the same thing. Both jaws (movable and fixed) can be mounted on the back side if needed.
In regards to jaw lift, I’ve never had an issue there, but I wasn’t doing super precision work either. Kurt vises (and the good clones) are designed to pull the moveable jaw down with tightening and don’t have as much issue there as the previous generations of machinist’s vises.

You definitely deserve all the subs, the production value is off the charts, whenever a new inheritance machine a video drops it’s a good day.
I really appreciate that. Thanks, Mike!
As a mechanical engineer educated at a technical university, I wish I had more of this hands-on experience...
Me too totally agree
for the slotted fixturing options, i'd recommend looking into how fireball tool dealt with possible slippage of that (downward clamp vs sideways force isnt perfect) using a second non-slotted serrated piece to engage with serrations under the slotted part. great work on the project, always excited to see one of your vids in the sub box!

Will second this, Fireball has some great ideas for fixturing.
I smile every time you say "that could be better" .... and then you do better.
You deserve the gold button. You came out of the gate swinging for the fences and you smashed a walk of grand slam in game 7. Here's to many more years of sharing your Inheritance
It is always a pleasure to see your paper drawings and the results, great work.
Thanks!
Congrats on the 100K! I'll be sharing this channel with my machining instructors, I'm certain they'll be impressed with your content as well!

I hope youtube will become a more regular platform for you. I really enjoy these videos and will love to see them more often.
Thanks. If I could make these more often than every 2 weeks I definitely would. They take a lot!
It really is amazing how fast this channel has blown up. But it's down to how high quality and professional it is at it's relatively young age

Love this channel, been a follower for about a year now, also HI to all the Engineers out there, i`m not an Engineer myself sadly but my Father was so i inherited some of his love for precision and quality, i`m a 53 year old Kitchen Installer from the UK with almost 40 years experience who takes great pride in the quality and accuracy of my jobs, i`m also heavily into ancient engineering techniques, specifically how the so called Dynastic Egyptians cut and polished igneous stone like Granite and Diorite which has a Mohs scale hardness of 6 - 8, there are a good few Engineers out there now who believe, as i do, that these highly accurate monuments and statues were cut on machines similar to lathes and mills, the precision on some of these artefacts is to within 100th of a millimeter yet were are told by the mainstream archaeological community that they were done using copper tools, chisels and dolorite pounders BY HAND, anyone who knows Quartz, as i do as we use it for countertops, knows it can not be cut or shaped using copper or bronze tools to this precision, also under a microscope these objects don`t show impact marks which you would associate with chiselling and hammering, they are perfectly smooth, perfectly square and they even pass the light test with an engineers light test you can`t get that accuracy by hand, many of these artefacts show evidence of tube drills cut at a rate that we can`t replicate even with today`s highly advanced CNC machines, there`s evidence that huge 1200 tonne blocks and single columns were cut using a huge overhead circular saw and Live Centre holes in the bases of 200 - 300 tonne single piece granite pillars, there is an English Aerospace Engineer who moved to the States called Christopher Dunn, his qualifications are second to none in the field of Engineering, he`s travelled to Egypt and other locations around the globe and conducted tests on many of these artefacts and he`s concluded they had to have been cut and created using ancient engineering machines, something we are told never existed in pre history yet the evidence discounts that, there is a channel on TH-cam called UnchartedX presented by an aussie guy called Ben, his channel is dedicated to exposing these incredible highly accurate artefacts and calls for academia to acknowledge that there was once a long lost forgotten ancient highly advanced civilisation that existed before 12.500 years ago and was erased from human history by what`s known as The Younger Dryas Impact, a theory that has since been proven correct and it`s been peer reviewed, my big ask in all this to all you Engineers out there is to have a look at Chris Dunns work and Ben`s over at UnchartedX, see the evidence for yourselves when you get time and if at all possible lend your expertise and engineering knowledge to their work, the more skilled engineers who get on board the quicker science and archaeology will take it seriously, the theory is that in pre history there was a highly advanced global civilisation that had the knowledge and technical ability to build these ancient monuments and that the Dynastic Egyptians only uncovered, inherited and repurposed these sites thousands of years later once Earth`s climate settled down and human population and society was rebuilt, a big ask i know but i know these guys would appreciate your time and skilled knowledge to either agree with their hypothesis or point out errors in their theories, thanks for reading all this, i appreciate it cheers.

I wish I had half the skills and talents you have. I went to college for machine tool and die back in the day, however they didn’t teach very much, mostly how to read instruments, metallurgical characters, READING prints, and just overall basics. I went for two years, afterwords landed a job in a tool room with some of the most advanced shockingly talented, no more like gifted individuals who quickly reminded me that I knew absolutely nothing. I got so discouraged I took another position out on the production floor. That decision still haunts me to this day. I missed such an amazing opportunity if I only could have swallowed my pride and listened to those gifted men. They were willing to educate me, in fact I think they took too much enjoyment from it at times. But my young mind and ego simply couldn’t comprehend or appreciate being the most ignorant person in the room on a daily basis.
Now much,much older I can see it so clearly. Those men were at the very top of their game, and they were testing me. And I failed.
But watching you and seeing the level of detail, the methodological approach to every step, the skills and tactics applied. Brings me back to that tool room but this time it’s different, now I know exactly what I need to do.
And that is shut up and listen,watch, and appreciate the gifts you are bestowing upon us.
I’ve worked along side of fellas such as your grandfather, and I can see he has ignited that passion in you and it shows in you content.
You guys are amazing. I truly appreciate your content.
I hope that it inspires many more younger viewers to embark on a journey into machine manufacturing in some form or another.
😁🍻
For only being around for such a short period of time its astounding how many subscribers you already have! I am privilege to have been here since you only had a few thousand and now at 149K!!!
I will say it time and time again that you are an inspiration. If anything you give everyone who sees your work an understanding of what it takes to achieve precision, including me. And for that I couldn't be more grateful, so from the bottom of my heart..... Thank you
It's always a pleasure to see your comment, Charl. Thank you so much for your nice words and for following along all this time. I can't tell you how much that means!
This is the type of project that is so interesting to me. But what is more impressive is your ability to work well outside the box.
I usually try to break out of my comfort zone by a little with each project. Thanks as always, Clyde!
Congratulations! I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and I have been mesmerized by it ever since. I can't wait to see all the videos to come!
As an engineering student I love watching your videos and learning so much. It has inspired me to get into the machine shop more at school, and even given me some ideas for projects of my own. As a more digital engineer, it intrigues me to watch you do all these things in an analog fashion, from your drafting to your machining.
Thanks Brandon and thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you're taking advantage of that shop access while you have it!
Any woodworker, no matter how pedantic, can only marvel at the level of precision this craft requires. Fascinating to watch. Great work!
Thank you 🙏
Been with ya from the 1st video, and really happy with where you are and where you are going to journey forward and the side projects you will meet along the way! Thanks to your wife too for shooting all this footage. Everything that is clear about your channel - mechanical engineering basics, research, narration, your manual drafting, workshop organization, machine setups and cleanliness, openness to take inputs from all the commentators, videography, the way you carry forward your legacy - everything is noticed. While we may not even have seen a proper first commercial product, Im am sure they'll turn out amazing with all the tools you make to make more tools! Keep it up, all the best and we are all joyful for having inherited your machining channel and we also know your grandpa is so proud of his legacy! Congratulations for the Silver. Thanks again! 👍
Thank you so much! We are doing our best to make something meaningful here and really appreciate you noticing all the effort!
I can’t believe how this great channel came out of nowhere. It’s gone from 0 to 155,000 subscribers in just a few months, and deserves every one of them and more.
Thank you 🙏
This is precision at its finest. Congrats on the milestone!
Thank you! And thanks for the poster!
@@InheritanceMachining, you're welcome! And oh cool. Glad to hear it got there 👍
Thank YOU Brandon for all your hard work and craftsmanship!
Thanks!
F man, your drafting is so satisfying. Reminds me of architecture school
haha Thanks!
Got into this trade for the opportunity and money. But truly fell in love with it. Work like yours and videos like yours helped me fall in love with machining. Years back I would laugh at myself for getting excited about blocks of steel with holes in it! Great work as always.
Haha glad I'm not the only one 😉 I appreciate it though! Thanks!
A good tip for fitting oversize pieces in your vise is unscrew the jaws from the inside surface and mount them to the outer surface. I think with your particular vise you could have fit the aluminum fixture plate stock, and they are made for this so your workmanship would not have suffered
“ A lathe is a mill that fell over”. What a brilliant description 👏👏👍😀
Oh my, I so want to make a mini version of this pallet. Fantastic build as always. Thank you for sharing.
And as for the ending, you so deserve the plaque from TH-cam. No need to thank your viewers, we thank you. 👏👏👍😀
Congratulations on reaching 100k!
Beautiful design for the fixture plate, I'm definitely going to have to make a vise mount sub-plate for mine, and the large cylinder for angle mounting is very clever. Quicker than swapping to my tilting vise.
I did design a wallet that I will get around to machining at some point, but I will probably 3D print a few prototypes first to perfect the design.
Thanks Keith! I don't know what kind of vise you have but a couple people mentioned the ability to flip the jaws on Kurt vises like mine. Could save you from having to make the sub plate. I'd love to see your wallet when you finish it up!
A deserved play button! Never saw so much passion and quality right from the start of a new channel. Next 0 here we come
Thank you!
ever since starting to watch this channel the following phrase runs through my head every time i open Fusion360 "....because chamfers are sexy"
That's exactly right
Congratulations, I'm sure your Grandfather would be proud. That plate looks beautiful.
Like ToT says, when it comes to chamfers, it pays not to cut corners.
😂 Thank you very much!
"A lathe is basically just a mill that tipped over." I don't remember which youtube machinist said something similar (I think it was Quinn from Blondihacks, but not sure), but they said basically the opposite of that. That a mill is just a lathe that tipped over. They said something along the lines of "every operation you can do in a machine shop can be done on a lathe, just not as efficiently. The ability to do operations on a mill is just a refinement of efficiency, sometimes by a little, sometimes a lot."
Wow, great PLAY BUTTON!!! Well deserved 🎊 🎉.
Thank you 🙏
lets goooo!
CONGRATULATIONS! I work in a precision manufacturing shop, I used to do manual and CNC machining. I found your channel a few weeks ago and subscribed immediately. I love the need for perfection, I'm the same way. I love the content, keep it up. I know you grandfather would be proud.❤️
Thank you! Welcome
Oi man are you going to participate in the makers Christmas. I know your fairly new to TH-cam but if you don’t know what this is maybe ask This Old Tony, tbh I really don’t know how the makers Christmas thing works but I feel like you would be a good fit. Never hurts to ask, Damm this is long, anyways love the content!!!
Also congrats on 100k!!!!
Thanks! Yeah I've seen ToT and others participate in years past but wasn't sure how to get involved. Might be too late this year
What you present here is the whole package... I started to rewatch from the begining. Thanks for sharing with us.
I really appreciate that! Thank you
Some serious old school skill here. I like how you print all your builds. Very professional. It shows in your finished work.
Who doesn't love a good chamfer? Congrats on the silver play button!
😁 Thanks!
i have been addicted to this channel. its been like a week straight watching videos whenever i can to get caught up. Love the dedication here and your skills are commendable.
Time to finally see the fly cutter in action, and that ridiculous lathe setup, too.
Also I gotta say the silver plaque is well deserved. Here's to a quick journey to 1 million!
Thanks, Nick!
This is now my favorite machining channel. Your explanations are perfect. The journey is there for all tho see. But what makes it different is your personality and easy to listen to voice.
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
I’m not a machinist, nor am I a metal worker. Just a humble telecom technician. Your content is captivating, educating and all around entertaining. Been here since the beginning, my 13yo son and I watch this regularly. It’s a nice way to introduce him to different trades and a realistic expectation of what the field involves (math, calculus, trigonometry…). Thank you for putting this out there for us to find.
Absolutely my pleasure! Thank you
Every time I see you on the board it takes me back in time and I remember all the guys I worked with, the long hours on projects and all the fun we had at work. love the machining too, great work. Thoroughly enjoy your channel.
I wished I had come up in that time. I feel like it would have been a lot more fun 😁 Thanks!
Great work once again, your Grandfather will be very proud. Thank you for sharing your time Sir.
My pleasure. Thank you!
Congradts on the 100K Tubers we appreciate the authentic perspective and high value content your are sharing with us. It's because of you I purchased a drafting machine for my antique drawing board.
You are very kind and I love to hear that! Thanks as always!
The only TH-cam channel without a single dud video, amazing to see! Perfect timing too as TOT has had to take a break for most of this past year. Totally different style and I love it!
I really appreciate that! Honestly I'm hoping he makes an appearance soon 😂
Your attention to detail is infectious. Thank you for explaining things and making it known that everybody makes mistakes. Thanks again for providing us with some outstanding content. Now I gotta get out in my shop and make something.
Truly inspiring, i am a mechanical engineering student and a machinist hobbyist, I love getting inspired by your videos! They help me see what is possible for anybody who puts their mind to it! Thank you for making videos, they add so much to the community.
That is so mice of you to say. Thank you!
Your productions are clickspring levels of quality. And that is definitely meant as a compliment!
I take that as a very high compliment! Thank you
Wow, congrats on 1 year and a silver play button, and nice chamfer, your projects are always enjoyable, and it's nice to see a bit of modernization as the equipment starts to show a bit of age.
VFD's are a thing of beauty.
Thanks for being here for pretty much that whole time! I cant tell you how much I appreciate the support. I'm definitely looking forward to the upgrade 😀
After a hard day at work, coming home and listening to your baritone voice as you show off your latest project is just fantastic. Very relaxing to watch and also very entertaining. I look forward to seeing your next project! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much!
No thank you Brandon for sharing all of this with us and making some really cool things in the process. Got me into lathe work next to my 3d printers and I love it! Well deserved!
That's awesome, Felix! Thank you!
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the hand drafting skills on display here
Your videos are one of my top priority to watch more than once
I love your channel. It is simply a joy to watch. Your voice is so calm and listening to your thinking out loud as you problem solve in your pursuiu for incrementally more accurate reference edges.
Thank you 🙏
I stumbled on this channel, I think on an TH-cam suggestion and I have to say it is fantastic. So far every video I have watched has given me something new learned. Thank you.
Thank you!
I am a long time retired engineer, it was a real pleasure to see an old drafting machine and circle template instead of CAD (which I can’t do) and no 3D printing (which I cannot do).
I don't know anybody who doesn't love a good chamfer!! Love it.
You are very welcome! You have included the very important design step which I enjoy a lot. Thanks, Greg.
Great video. It is a real joy to see someone that still uses manual drawing equipment. Makes me want to dig out my board.
Thanks!
I think you are now one of the greatest Machining TH-camrs of all time. Comparable to This Old Tony. You're just utterly fantastic at not only machining but editing and story telling. Plus your Drafting skills are on point, I never got to do pencil drafting, only CAD drafting
Wow... thank you so much! That's is seriously an honor
It’s a pleasure to watch what you bring, we should be thanking you.
Those mini pallets are super useful, I built a couple of them a while back and I used them a lot more than I would have thought.
That's encouraging to hear. I don't have anything in particular in mind at the moment but now I have it when I do
I can't describe the joy your videos bring, there's something so warm about your crafting style. Cheers to 100k!! Looking forward to this being the first of many milestones for you!
Thank you!
These are just the most calming videos to watch. Thank you for posting
Thank you! My pleasure
Was here when you hit 100, 100, 10k, and 100k. I'll be here when you hit 1m, as will the rest of us, and many, many more new faces. Your grandfather would not only be proud, he'd know that his legacy is in great hands. Thank you for bringing all of us on this journey with you.
It's honestly been my pleasure. Thank you for the support all along the way!
As someone who has never worked in this or any related field, but loves craftmanship, I am so glad I found this channel. Seeing you get your play button made me smile! Congrats!
Thanks!
OMG that is SO WHOLESOME and touching. I'm in tears, what a reveal, CONGRATS!!!!!
I know it’s a pointless comment but I love this channel.
I don’t care what your video’s are about, I open it knowing I’m going to love it.
Inspirational, I want to machine stuff 😃
That's not pointless at all. I appreciate it very much!
I’ve been watching through your entire video catalog over the last…we’ll say while cause I don’t want to admit my binging, and I have been trying to wrap my head around how to use a lathe to perform milling operations. The “what’s a mathe” chapter finally made it make sense in my head. Not owning either machine or having access to them has given me a bit of trouble when trying to understand how that might work. Thank you. P.S. your inspiration for this channel, grandfathers inheritance, is incredible and production quality has been stellar from the start. Keep going!
It's very refreshing to see a well made machining video.
I don't know if anyone said anything yet but having a mirror on a stick is a life saver when sweeping in the head. Much less walking back and fourth. Awesome videos!
Ironically I have one 😂 Thanks!
I lost it when you chamfered the plaque! I've loved watching all of your videos and watching the shop grow. Keep up the great work!
😂 Thank you!
Yet another great video. I watch quite a few homeshop videos on TH-cam. You are a breath of fresh air. You do everything from the design to the complete job. We'll done
Thank you 🙏
So happy to have found and joined your site, I started off as a Tool and Die apprentice, then Tool and Diemaker in the UK at British Leyland, then moved to the US and several jobs later my Pinnacle was to become an InstrumentMaker for a scientific institute, through all this I was strictly a manual machinist and it sadly lacking now with CNC everywhere. Your skills, drawing brilliant, machining brilliant!!!!
Out of hundreds of subscriptions this is the only channel I watch all the way through every video. I could easily sit through hour long videos if you every decided to make them. Amazing how fast this channel is growing. I look forward to all future content.
That's really saying a lot. Thank you so much!
A lathe is just a mill that fell over. I Love It!!!
As a newbie to the world machining there’s only one comment to make, very inspiring! Thank you for your time and effort!
My pleasure! Thank you as well!
It's just so much fun to see you work your way through the challenges you set yourself, and your style of editing somehow makes every episode like a little fairy tale.
It's a lot of fun doing it too! Thank you
I have a lot of fun watching your videos since I don't get to do much manual work anymore and seeing you pull out little tricks is like dredging them from my own memory, plus plenty of clever variations on tricks I haven't seen before.
You mean it's not like riding a bike? 😉 Thanks
@@InheritanceMachining Haha it might be, I wish I had more time to do manual work.
I began my machine shop experience in 1966 and I have been around some damn good machinists since then and I am here to tell you that I am thoroughly impressed with your intelligence, skills and the finished products to back it up. Hats off and five stars to you Sir.
Art from Ohio
PS I think you would enjoy watching Kurtis in Australia at Cutting Edge Engineering here on TH-cam. He is absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much, Art. You are very kind! Also CEE is one of my favorites 😁
Stunning work! 👍 🇬🇧
Thanks!
The craftsmanship and detail of your work is absolutely incredible. I honestly love the production quality of your videos. I can't wait to see where this ends up going. Your Grandfather would be proud.
You are very kind. Thank you so much!
It’s always a pleasure watching a true craftsman at work! Keep up the good work!
You are very kind. Thank you!
Just wow.
Amazed by your growth. Your drafts.. my god. Therapeutic like someone said before.
Greetings from 🇦🇷 Argentina 🇦🇷
Yours is now my favorite channel by a long shot on TH-cam. I wish you many years of prosperity and growth as I am learning so much from you. Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏
That round bar to adjust the plate angle was mind blowingly awesome lol. I'm still somewhat new to machining been teaching myself for a few years from a home shop and just recently started teaching myself cnc machining by taking over the small shop at work. Unfortunately I'm the only one in the entire place that knows anything about machining. But I am learning alot from your videos as well as others, thanks for the content!
Congrats...thank you for taking us on your journey.
It's been my pleasure. Thanks for following along!
