Thanks for watching everyone! Stay tuned for the next project on Friday, February 3rd. And no... it's not a larger Box of Shame! At least I don't think it is...
We'd all like to think it's not a larger box of shame!.. or learning as I now like from clydebalcom3679. Keen as a bean for it regardless of what it is, thanks!
I consider it a box of spare parts, You are going to make mistakes, it’s how you handle the mistakes. We all will fall, it’s how you get back up that makes a difference. Thanks for showing everything and admitting that you are human. I look forward to watching more videos. A plus in my book. Amazing job. Keep up the great work….
Here's you turn that frown upside down by changing your perspective: DO make the BoS significantly larger. Almost comically so! As you learn and progress further in your already incredibly skilled craftsmanship, the size of the box should grow too, as a reminder to stay humble and check your assumptions. Then, even if you have a steady contribution to it, the sum total of those contributions still looks relatively small compared to the box itself. That mirrors the relationship of the value of learning you get from the mistakes compared to the relatively minor and small size of the scraps of metal mistakes in a corner of the box. Maybe a bit philosophical, but that sort of vibe feels somehow right with how your channel and content comes across, which I love so much.
I'm glad you showed the proper way of knurling by calculating the right diameter first. I actually haven't seen that yet in other machining videos but knowing how gears worked I figured some math is involved to get the perfect knurl and have the lines match up instead of just mashing it in till it looks half decent. This is much better and you don't get all the near misses between the lines like if you mashed it
That used to be my method and I always had to do "test" knurls on areas I would eventually turn away. The calculator I used is great and so far on a few parts had been spot on.
Someone did a test once and it made no difference whether you calculated a precise diameter or not. It is a swaging process not a cutting one like a gear. If you have a cutting knurl, yes they exist, then a precise diameter is required.
yea as a machinist I have only probably had to knurl parts for a few dozen jobs but usually we just go for it and hope it comes out well since knurled features aren't usually critical and as long as its not very corse knurling it usually works out, sometimes needing a little adjustment in diameter. I didn't know a calculator existed online for knurling but ill definitely try it next time and probably use it from now on. super cool.
@@InheritanceMachining this is also my method up until recently but I hadn’t found a good calculator I liked on the internet. Glad you make the videos you do, man. I know I’ve said it to you several times already about knurling, but it bears repeating: they always look great
People have knurled tapers before, so diameter isn’t as important as one might think, but it is more intuitive and probably gets more consistent results to calculate the exact diameter needed.
Very nicely done mate! Your attention to details is next level and always striving for precision and perfection. Not sure what it says that our spare time is spent watching other machinists machining 🤣 Cheers, Kurtis 👍
Been watching your build and Clough42’s in parallel. It’s really neat watching how the two of you approach the project differently, and what you do the same!
Don't forget the excellent knurling build series by Blondihacks. It's really interesting to see the differences in how these tools are designed. And there's a knurling tool build from the channel "my mechanics insights" too!
I’m an ex electro mechanical engineer who had a nervous breakdown and as a result have areas of memory loss. Love watching your channel as it reminds me of better times. Keep on using the eyecrometer my man, every prototype engineer depends on it.
I truly respect how you actually include the mistakes you make just as everyone else makes mistakes, 99% of other channels never include mistakes so it’s nice to see that as we are all human and make mistakes, fantastic work I thoroughly enjoyed this
Sometimes I think I learn as much from the mistakes as I do the rest of the project… so I am also glad you have opted to keep them in there. Gives me hope
You're quickly becoming one of favorite manual machining channels. I like that you show the entire process including the mistakes. One critique I do have here though is I feel that A LOT of the mistakes you make are minor. Minor in the fact that they are completely avoidable in most cases. While I was doing my tool making apprenticeship I had a very large fixture that needed to be machined much of it manually. I spent 3 or 4 full shifts working on what I thought was a masterpiece. I was so proud of it as it was a very complicated fixture with a lot going on. After I was finished I put the customers part in it to verify everything was in the proper location and it was going to work. Well everything fit but I noticed some major features slightly off. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. I told my boss and said "hey Its all finished but something doesn't seem right. Is the customers part out of spec?" We checked it and it wasn't. What I failed to realize was the datum for the drawing and dimensions worked off a centerline and not a corner. What did I learn that day? ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST. Over and Over. Now I have a dedicated cart where my drawings sit and before I ever even take a first cut I verify my first datum or location point. ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST!
I just love your intro music, it's so calming and relaxing. It's just perfect and fits the content so well... Thanks again for this awesome entertainment!
Rewatching your video back catalogue and came to the comments to make this exact same comment.... so yep, 12 months down the line and it still makes me giggle.
I would absolutely love to see a collaboration project between you, Clough42, BlondieHacks, and Artisan Makes where you all do the same project at (roughly) the same time. The individual styles you all have is so fun to watch and I feel like you all probably share 90%+ of your communities already so people would eat it up!
I can't help but feel that's partly my fault- I bugged Kurt machine tools, got a hold of their HR department, and convinced them to send TOT a HQ Kurt vise. He declined it in the comments when I mentioned it, and that was the last video he put up for a while I believe
Addendum; he declined it because he was worried about impartiality and his viewers thinking poorly of him for it. Which several other commenters and myself all impressed upon him that would never be the case.
Is it just me, or are you getting more precise project by project. Btw I consider your craftsmanship an artform, from design being drawn with your own hand, down to every part being made by your own hands, just beautiful!
My one and only complaint about this channel is that this dude doesn't upload frequently enough. This channel, Cutting Edge Engineering from Australia, ThisOldTony and occasionally Abom, are my machining crack.. but y'all don't upload nearly often enough ; ;
WOW!! Very impressive, I love it. It is far better than any knurling tool I ever used. It is very functional but most of all it is beautiful to look at. It is a blend of sculpture, jewelry and a tool. It reminds me of the early years of the industrial revolution when geniuses created new machines that were not only miraculous but also beautiful. The same spirit that motivated them now dwells in you. Art from Ohio
Thanks as always, Art. That's definitely one of the things that drew me to this design. I love the way aesthetics were considered along with functionality in old tool and machine design
You know, it's not often that I agree with a YT video when they say "oh it's so satisfying..." yadda yadda yadda. But, when you said how good it feels to see all of your precise work come together to work so smoothly and look so nice, I couldn't agree more! I don't have the time, money, machinery, nor skills to do this kind of work, but I am so impressed with your final product!
Очень приятно наблюдать как вы работаете на универсальных станках в век ЧПУ. Сам универсал, был восхищён вашим подходом к работе и результатами! ;) Успехов Вам)
It's so good to see knurling done right. I've seen too many "good enough" videos where the grooves overlap and it looks a mess. You understand that the final diameter must be a multiple of the groove spacing to work. So many others seem to ignore that.
Any thought to making your own knurling patterns? I've always felt that the variations of knurling patterns are a bit under explored. For example, a single angled wheel and a smooth wheel could make a rather visually appealing spiral knurl...Which I have accidentally achieved before with improper setup causing uneven wheel pressure.
Never done machining, touched a lathe only twice still idk how this man manages to keep me glued to the screen for the whole 21 mins. I will leave software engineering to become a machinist 🤩✨. That's some real nice content man. Thank You.
A trick I learned when stacking two identical pieces in a vice is use some paper or cardboard from a heat treat tag/business card or something similar the length of the bars on the moving jaw side. Even if it gets soaked the bars are going nowhere
Sir you and your channel are one of my top 3 youtubes to watch. Much appreciated all the work and knowledge u give. Thanks from me and love from Canada 🇨🇦
That 90 degree miss for the B.O.S. brought back some memories. One; my first lathe/mill were Sherline. Because they are so small you can only take very small cuts when working steel. I had at least 20 hours into an intricate part and the final procedure was to put a groove 90 degrees out on one side for location when assembled. And, yup, I forgot to turn it 90 degrees and had to scrap the piece. That "part" had a permanent place on my desk at work for the remainder of my working career as a reminder of the cost of simple lapses of attention. Really enjoying your channel. BTW, have to say; You regularly, and jokingly I assume, dog on your skill set. But you throw around excellent press fits and tolerances in the 10th's like they are a simple accomplishments that anyone can easily and repeatedly attain. Your work is very high quality and demonstrates a high skill level, even with the B.O.S. submissions.
Oh no... I've fortunately not scrapped a part that far in yet. And yeah I'll say yet because it's bound to happen. 😂 Thanks so much for the kind words. I do try to do my best. Even if the emery paper needs to get me the rest of the way there 😉
I’m a calibrations expert and I love seeing the tools I use on the daily for extremely precise linear measurements used in another expert fashion. Thank you for sharing your passions!
At the start of this week, I started a technical dridging course that teaches the basics of draughting. The course is only a week long, but it is needed for a Multi Disciplinary draughting course. I have a new appreciation for you and how you design on paper instead of CAD. It is much more rewarding on paper. I completed the first part of my final assignment, which was drawing an M30 bolt and nut assembly at 2:1 scale. A few of the things i used to do it i picked up from watching you. Love your channel (The guy that tagged you in so many instagram stories when making his own bolt action pen😁)
That's awesome man! Glad to hear that drafting is even still being taught. There's definitely a more rewarding aspect to it, just like manual machining. And you'll be a better designer//machinist because of it. Thanks for sharing (and the pen!)
Another awesome build! I can't help but think the stuff in your box of shame will still beat my best effort on a good day! And thanks for the link to the knurling calculator, I've been meaning to write a chart of go-to diameters that will give good results, and now I've no excuse! 👍 🇬🇧
I know barely anything about machining aside from what I've learned in a few of your videos but I LOVE to watch one of your videos from time to time when im tired Truly a treat
I watch all the fun you have with that rotary table and I think. Hmmm, how much $$? OH HELL. Are they THAT expensive? Nuts. Back to the belt sander. That said, I am pretty sure that if I had to trash a part twice, I'd probably not be safe to return to that job for several days. On the other hand, running a camera, and lights, and thinking about all the details, and sound tracks, and all that goes with making these videos...it is SO easy to forget things. WELL DONE!!
My cousin's husband, who is a self taught machinist and over 90, never seems to make a mistake. He has given me, professionally trained and much younger, a lot of cheek. So, I'm really glad to see that Inheritance Machining makes the same sort, and about as many, mistakes I generally make.
Your cousin's husband definitely makes mistakes. I know machinists who've been doing it for decades, since they were legally allowed to work, who will mess up sometimes. Lots of stuff to remember at any given time, it's inevitable something slips through the cracks.
@@bluntcabbage6042 : He must make a mistake once in a while - he's human. But I have worked alongside him in his workshop, each of us making parts for a machine. I've never seen him make a mistake. He has the ability to completely rehearse a machining operation in his head - he will sit and think for quite a while before starting a lathe or a mill. But, more often than not, he'll get the job done quicker than I will, because I do make mistakes and have to make a part or 2 again.
I gotta say I look forward to each of your videos. The narration is awesome. I love the back story of your grandpa’s old shop. Even the music is perfect. I’m building a hobby machine shop right now and look forward to making parts. I’ve always loved fabrication and now I’m older and can afford good tools, im looking forward to learning new skills👍
As many others in the comments.. I own nothing regarding machining (no skills, no machines and no experience).. But that 2-part video makes me want to be part of this club! Glad I came across your channel..
Really love this channel. You were given an amazing gift from your grandpa and to see you recognize and show gratitude for that is heartwarming. Keep up the great work bud♥️
I know very little about machining. I just recently came to this page to support Paige's husband! I am now in the process of watching all of the videos! Those final two knurls at the end had me saying "Wow!" I keep telling my husband "You have to watch this!" Great job, Brandon!
Another great job! PS - Don't be ashamed (ie Box of Shame)... You are learning more by filling that box than by not. Plus, you are actually using your equipment. Experience is the best teacher. "Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes it's built on catastrophe." -Sumner Redstone
That is exactly what I do when I'm consistently screwing something up. I walk away and do something else for a bit, maybe get a coffee and some food, or take a nap. Works every time.
I recently bought a couple sets of dumbells that have knurled portions on them and its plain to see that the manufacturing company does not have a tool to make them as consistent as this one is capable of! I'm sure in the grand scheme of things that no one really cares that much about perfectly replicated knurling on a weight, but its interesting to see how your videos made me notice that detail on an item I use frequently. Can't wait to see more chamfers next video!
I love your BOS. I call mine the BILL. That is the Box of Important Learned Lessons. I try to keep a humorous spin on it. But when I go back and look at the contents, I realize how true the name is. Lots of really important lessons learned in those mistakes.
Your videos are flat out excellent. Really enjoy the calm voice over with detailed explanations. The videography and editing are also top-notch. I also really like that your building tools with your tools and equipment. Just adding to the arsenal constantly. Great way to improve your capabilities and keep the audience captivated. Hats off to you sir
wow. the end product is so beautiful. and the tool itself is incredibly elegant. the tool is almost as beautiful as the finish knurl. great freaking job. you just got a new sub. first impressions, your are a wealth of knowledge. im going to learn alot from this channel. thank you
I think watching your mistakes makes your channel so much more relatable and much better at teaching because now we also know mistakes to watch out for. Keep up the amazing work!!
One of the things I like to do is when my dad brings home a part he messed up on to show me I usually take it to work to make a tool for myself. I had just recently make myself a makeshift eye bolt driver for my drill. I enjoy watching your videos and they give me a bit of inspiration for making different things. I was also making an aluminum tool holder to hold in the vise of the mill at work. Its an ancient battleship gray bridgeport mill with the solid hand wheels and a dual head.
Hey B -- your videos have provided me with so much entertainment and education and general enjoyment, just wanna thank you for putting them out. I hope you and your family are healthy and happy -- keep up the good work, mate.
Just like a boaght one! Well done mate, excellent work 👏 I mean it looks magnificent mate. I love how you show your mistakes, a lot of people would edit that out, but you show us everything. 👍
Love your clips. The nice thing about this small home machine shop is that you don't do production runs, just imagine pulling off the vise part number 67 and realize the hole supposed to be on the other side or some stuff like that haha. Not to mention making those parts from brass or more expensive material. Your box of shame would be an container ... Anyways, good job man, keep em coming and thx for sharing
i haven't touched any lathe in my life but you just made me want to try it is just so satisfying watching you go from some random metal to a nice and working thing hope you will continue to do such nice things and that the channel grow because it is what you deserve 👍👍
The coolest part of this project, was in the end you eat your own dog food. I love you used the new tool, to make the final knurled parts for it. GREAT SERIES!!!!!
16:24 - thank you for actually digging in to the question of dealing with this diameter. I've seen various folks mention it as a thing, but you're the first person I've seen actually do math on it. And many don't even mention it as an issue --- I guess either they just got lucky, or more slop is possible than one would think, or... something? But it's neat to have someone actually go through doing it the "right way", even if some "wrong ways" are, in practice, workable. I look forward to the day I can experiment with all this myself, and gain a deeper understanding. :) (I imagine doing the machinist's equivalent of a photographer's "test strip" -- a shaft with various diameters, separated by tenths or a thou or two, and seeing what happens on each.)
Yeah it seems to be a point of contention with a lot of people. I've had mixed results just going with whatever diameter in the past. But that was with a bump knurler. Ive since only used that calculator and have yet to have a failed knurl. Interestingly though, someone mentioned theres a video where a guy knurls a tapered shaft and it manages to work out somehow along the length. That would be a fun test to do.
Thanks for watching everyone! Stay tuned for the next project on Friday, February 3rd. And no... it's not a larger Box of Shame! At least I don't think it is...
I like to think of the box as The Box Of Learning.
We'd all like to think it's not a larger box of shame!.. or learning as I now like from clydebalcom3679. Keen as a bean for it regardless of what it is, thanks!
The box looks deeper :) but still no match to my bin of shame

It would be very nice to see Kurtis doing a monster knurling tool to knurl the cilinders of heavy machinery. Just for fun 🤣
funny enough i was just watching your new lathe tool post video and couldn't help but think what would inheritance machining think about it
Often the best way to become a better writer is to read. The principle absolutely applies to machining and other skills.

My pleasure. Thanks for the encouragement!
Awesome! Been looking forward to this. :)
Pure pleasure to watch and yes I too would be knurling everything with that gorgeous looking tool !!
It has that look about it that says "I do this job well" and works fantastically. Its a twirly cutty, tooth squisher.

I completed the first part of my final assignment, which was drawing an M30 bolt and nut assembly at 2:1 scale. A few of the things i used to do it i picked up from watching you. Love your channel
(The guy that tagged you in so many instagram stories when making his own bolt action pen😁)
That's awesome man! Glad to hear that drafting is even still being taught. There's definitely a more rewarding aspect to it, just like manual machining. And you'll be a better designer//machinist because of it. Thanks for sharing (and the pen!)
What a beautiful tool that is! I love the details and the care you always take, aiming for perfection. Thanks for another excellent video.
Thanks, Bruce!
Love when new videos are uploaded, this is like the only channel that I genuinely look forward to for when vids come out
That's very nice of you to say. Thank you!
Yours is the only channel I watch at 1X speed. It’s therapy.
Wow... that actually means a lot. Thanks!
@@InheritanceMachining Excellent. That was the intent.
We made a lot of tools in trade school. I really wish we made this knurling tool. Never ever saw one like it. Thanks for the video.
It really works great! Thank you!
Another awesome build!
I can't help but think the stuff in your box of shame will still beat my best effort on a good day!
And thanks for the link to the knurling calculator, I've been meaning to write a chart of go-to diameters that will give good results, and now I've no excuse! 👍 🇬🇧
Now you're being too kind! 😁 Thanks!
It's a joy to watch your work, keep the videos coming. Also your technical drawing are fantastic, worthy of framing and hanging on a wall 👍
Thank you!
Your youtube videos are the perfect thing to fall asleep to such great calming videos
I know barely anything about machining aside from what I've learned in a few of your videos but I LOVE to watch one of your videos from time to time when im tired
Truly a treat
Thanks!
I watch all the fun you have with that rotary table and I think. Hmmm, how much $$? OH HELL. Are they THAT expensive? Nuts. Back to the belt sander. That said, I am pretty sure that if I had to trash a part twice, I'd probably not be safe to return to that job for several days. On the other hand, running a camera, and lights, and thinking about all the details, and sound tracks, and all that goes with making these videos...it is SO easy to forget things. WELL DONE!!
I'm really surprised you did not make the knobs out of brass. Great work and I enjoy learning from your videos.
My cousin's husband, who is a self taught machinist and over 90, never seems to make a mistake. He has given me, professionally trained and much younger, a lot of cheek. So, I'm really glad to see that Inheritance Machining makes the same sort, and about as many, mistakes I generally make.
Your cousin's husband definitely makes mistakes. I know machinists who've been doing it for decades, since they were legally allowed to work, who will mess up sometimes. Lots of stuff to remember at any given time, it's inevitable something slips through the cracks.
@@bluntcabbage6042 : He must make a mistake once in a while - he's human. But I have worked alongside him in his workshop, each of us making parts for a machine. I've never seen him make a mistake. He has the ability to completely rehearse a machining operation in his head - he will sit and think for quite a while before starting a lathe or a mill. But, more often than not, he'll get the job done quicker than I will, because I do make mistakes and have to make a part or 2 again.
He sounds like what we all strive to be. Great that you have him as a mentor of sorts!
I gotta say I look forward to each of your videos. The narration is awesome. I love the back story of your grandpa’s old shop. Even the music is perfect. I’m building a hobby machine shop right now and look forward to making parts. I’ve always loved fabrication and now I’m older and can afford good tools, im looking forward to learning new skills👍
I lover hearing that. It's never too late to learn and get into machining. Thanks and good luck building out your shop!
What a rollercoaster of a ride, thanks for taking us along!
For real haha my pleasure! Thanks
As many others in the comments.. I own nothing regarding machining (no skills, no machines and no experience)..
But that 2-part video makes me want to be part of this club!
Glad I came across your channel..
Thank you. If you have the means, go for it!
Really love this channel. You were given an amazing gift from your grandpa and to see you recognize and show gratitude for that is heartwarming. Keep up the great work bud♥️
Much appreciated, man!
Yay it's here!
I know very little about machining. I just recently came to this page to support Paige's husband! I am now in the process of watching all of the videos! Those final two knurls at the end had me saying "Wow!" I keep telling my husband "You have to watch this!" Great job, Brandon!
😁 Thank you so much!
I like how you own your mistakes and don’t sweep them under the rug. Truly a pleasure to watch
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement
Many cliffs to ship around, but you finally got it done. Congrats, looks and works beautiful. TOP.
Thank you!
As mechanical engineering student, I love your videos and they make me fall in love with machining and engineering over and over again.
Great work!
I love to hear that! Thank you!
Another great job! PS - Don't be ashamed (ie Box of Shame)... You are learning more by filling that box than by not. Plus, you are actually using your equipment. Experience is the best teacher. "Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes it's built on catastrophe." -Sumner Redstone
Great advice! Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful tool. I'd never want to quit admiring it if I had made it. It's mechanical art.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't bring it up to the house to fiddle with haha. Thanks, man!
That is exactly what I do when I'm consistently screwing something up. I walk away and do something else for a bit, maybe get a coffee and some food, or take a nap.
Works every time.
I recently bought a couple sets of dumbells that have knurled portions on them and its plain to see that the manufacturing company does not have a tool to make them as consistent as this one is capable of! I'm sure in the grand scheme of things that no one really cares that much about perfectly replicated knurling on a weight, but its interesting to see how your videos made me notice that detail on an item I use frequently. Can't wait to see more chamfers next video!
Yeah it surprising how barbells/dumbells never have very nice knurling. Might have to upgrade my own set 😁 Thanks!
Love it. And I like that you keep all the mistakes in. Great stuff, mate.
I appreciate it!
Liking the new top down camera angle on the lathe!
There something magical in watching a piece of metal being knurled.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I wouldn't worry at all about leaving in the centre-drilled end: it's standard practice to leave it anyway!
Thanks and yeah I suppose from a manufacturing standpoint thats true. I think I've even seen examples of that before
Your Grandad would be proud. Bet he smiles every time you enter your shop.
Thank you 🙏
I love your BOS. I call mine the BILL. That is the Box of Important Learned Lessons. I try to keep a humorous spin on it. But when I go back and look at the contents, I realize how true the name is. Lots of really important lessons learned in those mistakes.
Hands down, best channel on TH-cam! The quality of your work is amazing!
Thank you so much!
Your videos are flat out excellent. Really enjoy the calm voice over with detailed explanations. The videography and editing are also top-notch. I also really like that your building tools with your tools and equipment. Just adding to the arsenal constantly. Great way to improve your capabilities and keep the audience captivated. Hats off to you sir
Thank you so much!
wow. the end product is so beautiful. and the tool itself is incredibly elegant. the tool is almost as beautiful as the finish knurl. great freaking job. you just got a new sub. first impressions, your are a wealth of knowledge. im going to learn alot from this channel. thank you
Thank you so much! Welcome!
I'm living for the moment that you upload a video and when I finish it I can't wait for another one. Great job sir !
😁 Thank you so much!
I think watching your mistakes makes your channel so much more relatable and much better at teaching because now we also know mistakes to watch out for. Keep up the amazing work!!
That's my hope by including them. We all make them 😁 Thanks!
Well done over, and over until perfect.
One of the things I like to do is when my dad brings home a part he messed up on to show me I usually take it to work to make a tool for myself. I had just recently make myself a makeshift eye bolt driver for my drill. I enjoy watching your videos and they give me a bit of inspiration for making different things. I was also making an aluminum tool holder to hold in the vise of the mill at work. Its an ancient battleship gray bridgeport mill with the solid hand wheels and a dual head.
I appreciate it. I like your resourcefulness
9:55 Literally chuckled out loud. You can ask anybody... that is a feat few accomplish with me.
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
Thank you as always!
Hey B -- your videos have provided me with so much entertainment and education and general enjoyment, just wanna thank you for putting them out. I hope you and your family are healthy and happy -- keep up the good work, mate.
I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you!
@@InheritanceMachining take the appreciation you have for my praise and give it to yourself - that’s the best way to thank me :-)
Got knurly there for a while but you pulled through, nice work! Those knurls at the end looked sweet 👌
My new favourite channel. Fully caught up and now waiting for the next instalment!
woo hoo! Thank you!
Just brilliant! Could watch this all day.
B.O.S.S - Box of Super Shame! I'm impressed. When I make those kind of avoidable mistakes, I tend to call myself a number of colourful metaphors.
Oh there's plenty of that happening too 😂 Thanks
Just like a boaght one! Well done mate, excellent work 👏 I mean it looks magnificent mate. I love how you show your mistakes, a lot of people would edit that out, but you show us everything. 👍
Much appreaciated!
Great work! That cross thatch pattern looks great!
Thanks!
Thanks for the excellent video. Your machining is a very high standard and you have a great finish on all the parts.
Thank you very much!
I foresee a video on the BOS…like an anthology of oops. Perfect. Beautiful work!
Always a pleasure to watch! Thank you for the quality of your content and video quality and the inspiration you give us! 🤩
The pleasure is mine! Thank you
Love your clips. The nice thing about this small home machine shop is that you don't do production runs, just imagine pulling off the vise part number 67 and realize the hole supposed to be on the other side or some stuff like that haha. Not to mention making those parts from brass or more expensive material. Your box of shame would be an container ...
Anyways, good job man, keep em coming and thx for sharing
Oh yeah for sure. My mistakes would outweigh my equipment. I appreciate it, man!
I could imagine seeing these on a shelf on display, they're top quality pieces of work!!
That is very kind. Thank you!
i haven't touched any lathe in my life but you just made me want to try
it is just so satisfying watching you go from some random metal to a nice and working thing
hope you will continue to do such nice things and that the channel grow because it is what you deserve 👍👍
Thank you so much! If you can find a way to get around machine tools I'm sure you would get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
@@InheritanceMachining Hope i will try it one day im young so in m'y life i want to try thats for shure
I, for one, really appreciate your willingness to show off your mistakes. This channel is basically 'Clickspring For Mere Mortals'. :grin:
Appreciate that you show yourself working through any mess ups. Would be easy enough to cover it up. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Excellent build. Great vid.
Thanks!
Nice followup. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks as always!
The coolest part of this project, was in the end you eat your own dog food. I love you used the new tool, to make the final knurled parts for it. GREAT SERIES!!!!!
Thanks!
B.O.S. is the real hero in this whole mess. He brings out the best in you.. ;-)
In a twisted, abusive sort of way, yes 😂
16:24 - thank you for actually digging in to the question of dealing with this diameter. I've seen various folks mention it as a thing, but you're the first person I've seen actually do math on it. And many don't even mention it as an issue --- I guess either they just got lucky, or more slop is possible than one would think, or... something? But it's neat to have someone actually go through doing it the "right way", even if some "wrong ways" are, in practice, workable. I look forward to the day I can experiment with all this myself, and gain a deeper understanding. :) (I imagine doing the machinist's equivalent of a photographer's "test strip" -- a shaft with various diameters, separated by tenths or a thou or two, and seeing what happens on each.)
Yeah it seems to be a point of contention with a lot of people. I've had mixed results just going with whatever diameter in the past. But that was with a bump knurler. Ive since only used that calculator and have yet to have a failed knurl. Interestingly though, someone mentioned theres a video where a guy knurls a tapered shaft and it manages to work out somehow along the length. That would be a fun test to do.
@@InheritanceMachining Oooh, that would be a fun test to do! Side project!!! :D
I made a clamping knurler (courtesy of Tom's Techniques) some years ago. I haven't used it yet.....Nice job.
Nothing more humbling than a bad day at the shop. Good u got some sleep :D Great video!
For real though... Thanks!
17:46 there's actually a cautionary sign on your top slide to secure the tools, just as if to mock :D
Beautiful work!
