Hi Joe, well the best 11 minutes I've seen this week on tips & tricks! I retired 3 years ago, spent a year going to auctions to buy lots of tooling & toys, spent a year fixing the garage up to make a comfortable shop, bought a mill & lathe, and I'm now enjoying myself. Adding all your tips & tricks to the mix just makes it even more fun & enjoyable as a hobby machinist! Please, you keep doing what your doing, I'll keep watching and learning! Thank you for all your knowledge!
Personally I'm surprised you don't have a million subs. I guess machinists or wanna-be's are few and far between, everyone uses stuff machinists make but don't know they even exist let alone that someone like Joe that really knows his stuff and is not ashamed to show it in public.
This last couple of generations look down their nose at anyone in the trades. They would rather sit on their ass and push paper, or pound a keyboard all day, and get paid an obscene amount of money for it.
@@JFSmith-nb8hf Exactly JF, more or less the point I was obtusely eluding to. I'm 82 I was raised by my Grandpa who was a machinist at Mare Island Naval Shipyard for decades so I was at his knee in his shop tinkering with stuff since I could stand up. I ended up working as a Technician for Ma Bell and eventually a lot of our nice old electromechanical equipment that required constant maintenance was replaced with computers and I got the boot at 32 years of service as the new stuff hardly ever failed and required little to no maintenance. Everyone below me went first so I got a few years at the end by playing a game of Musical Departments until my luck finally ran out. I was ready by then anyway but it was a couple of years too early, worked out fine.
@@JohnBare747 I spent the last 35 of the 40 in a general machine and welding shop in Bakersfield Ca. Did a lot of ag and oil tool repair, some aviation parts fab. Most of the stuff that came in the door was 30+ year old junk, with the customer expecting miracles. Looking back, I think we actually pulled a few off. 😆
@@JohnBare747 A couple of year ago we pulled up stakes an got out. Got tired of the neighbors stealing you blind if you turned your back. (among other things) We're out in the sticks about 40 mi. north of Prescott Az.. Nice and quiet, the scumbags and tweakers know better than to mess with people out here, they tend to get shot. Bay area is beautiful, miss a lot of things about the Golden State, just not some of the people, and the politics.
moderndaytinker here Most fun i had as a tool maker - was the last job I had - working in a welding and machine shop.-- repair and maintenance is great. I finally learned to be a real MACHINIST.(a lot less stress) Wish I had someone to pass along my "tricks"to. I always say that I had a trade that people would do as a hobby 😊 😊😊 😊😊😊😊 10:52
Great tips my southern friend. I have made a lot of banding springs and love them. Just make sure to debur those slicing ends eh. Good to see you again teach. You've got a teaching style that is really easy to absorb. Lots of new and old tricks all for free. Thanks Joe, ya rock bud.
I was a machinist for 40 years, but not stupid enough to think I know everything. Love picking people's brains for stuff I might not have thought of. Great vid, keep it up.
LOL I have been a machinist, woodworker and engineer for about 40 plus years. Grey Beard now. The older you get and the more experience you get, the more ignorant you become. This life is a full time learning mission that never ends. Always something new.
Saw this when you first posted it, and still enjoy the reminders it gave me. Thanks Joe for oll the work you have done making these videos. Keep this up and you will have to make a ply list of all your Gems you made over the years.
Thanks Joe - good ideas. Especially for a retired engineer who is teaching himself the high school metal shop course he never had a chance to take. LOL
Molre priceless wisdom from Joe! Some of these tricks I'd also worked out but most of them were new to me! Thanks for sharing Joe and keep making these videos!
Just another option: Rustinox suggested to me to use a sponge in place of springs. Always great tips Joe, I always learn something new. Now I'm off to make some flat sided cylinders.
I'm digging the "recycled" content. These are videos that I have watched in the past but a refresher course is a great thing. You've taught me many tricks over the years, thank you for sharing your your knowledge!
I have a lot of new subscribers that probably don't look back at some of these. I think a re-release is good idea for videos I consider really valuable. Thanks for watching.
@@joepie221After I subscribed to your channel, I was hungry for more. I have seen all of your videos at least 3 times. I would rather watch your recycled videos than new content from others who seem to do little more than run non stop commercials.
Thanks for sharing Joe always an inspiration and thanks for sharing your years of experience in the machining field that’s helps more people than you know 👍 Thanks!
Simple Solutions! Joe Pie's channel is full of great information. I always find some inspiration from his perspective on how to approach machining jobs. I began watching when I was learning for hobby machining years ago and I have a lot of confidence in the shop now from great information like that in this video. I consider Joe Pie one of my UA-cam mentors. Great work!
Loving the classic re runs . My favourite one from past is expansion arbours, oh and how to run true on a non adjustable chuck, oh and the micro drilling one , oh and ……………they are all me favourite, thanks Joe😊👍☘️
Thanks Joe... excellent stuff! Doing this for 40 years... wish I had this 39 years ago. Cool though to figure it out on my own.... necessity will always be the mother of invention!
Great video and great content. Joe you are my favorite UA-cam machinist. And I wish I had a guy like you in the shop to teach all the things we don't know 😅 👍💪 best regards from Denmark
Joe good tips as always. I can't believe you only have a thousand subscribers after all this time. You certainly deserve to have a lot more. I think you are one of the best teachers on UA-cam for machining. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Joe, I am NOT a machinist. I really enjoy watching your videos, especially any about building your models. A few days ago you answered a question I've had concerning your skill. During one of the videos about building the model SHAPER you said that you served part of your apprenticeship working for a watch maker. Question answered. YOU can machine watch parts? No wonder you achieve the level of precision you reach, and after 40 years, maybe you are the Norm Abrams of metal work. Some 60 years ago i struggled with "High School Machine shop". Believe me, you have much more than just my respect. Have you finished the model "Milling Machine" yet? '-)
I learned those tips on my own on the pre-youtube era, except for ball one on angle faces, instead I used an angle block or machining soft jaws for that odd part once in a while. Keep up the good work!
If you have got a taste for Enfield's on mixed roads you should try India next. My wife and I did Rajasthan on a couple of Bullets for her 50th. Amazing people, food, scenery and culture. You do have to watch out for the stray dogs as well as cows, goats, monkeys and even elephants 😁
Great refresher! I sometimes bend a piece of steel banding like that into a Z shape for larger openings. It’s very versatile stuff. Never thought to use it before seeing this vid though.
Years of experience in a short video, thanks.

Love the pallet banding trick, I've got a couple piles of Z shaped pieces that people keep trying to throw away until they see what they're for.
been doing stuff for 40 years. now i've got go put a flat on one of my ball bearings. thanks Joe
Thanks Joe, very useful stuff here!!!. Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!
There's only a few sites I watch for these type of tips and yours is one. Thanks.
I appreciate that. Thanks.
I always learn something from a Joe pie vid. Thanks
Thanks Joe....Great clamping tips!
From little olde England.
Lone live Joe Pie. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks for sharing Joe always an inspiration and thanks for sharing your years of experience in the machining field that’s helps more people than you know 👍
Thanks!
Amazing. So easy when you know.Thanks.
A new master class.

Awesome, thank you!
These tips are money in the bank for young machinists. Keep 'em coming Joe, even old guys like me can learn a few things.
Genius at work!

You are giving away all my secrets. It's good to see it shared with others.
A very important topic shared , thanks Joe
Wow, Joe, you packed a ton of intel into a few minutes! Reminds me of Jimmy Diresta's old Jimmy Tips videos. Thank you for all you do for all of us!
I often use two big rubber bands around the parallel and its' jaw to hold each parallel to the fixed jaw and the moving jaw.
Thanks Joe... excellent stuff! Doing this for 40 years... wish I had this 39 years ago. Cool though to figure it out on my own.... necessity will always be the mother of invention!
Made many of those "strap springs" lol...and they're FREE!
Great video! Always learn something! Thanks Joe.
Always great tips, thank you Joe
I feel like I just got twenty years of experience based knowledge in an eleven minute lesson. Thank you
Happy B Day great tips
Great video
Thanks
Love your "gems"
Thanks Joe! Great content! 👍
I save some rectangular pieces of that flexible foam that many products are packed in. Makes great springs!
I use foam as well. Better range than a spring and very unlikely to ping off somewhere.
Thanks for the wayback machinist tips Joe.
Great video and great content.
Joe you are my favorite UA-cam machinist. And I wish I had a guy like you in the shop to teach all the things we don't know 😅 👍💪 best regards from Denmark
Thanks for sharing Joe! 200k is in the making.
Joe good tips as always.

I appreciate that!
OMG I cant believe I didnt think of all those problem solvers..Cheers Joe.
Thanks Joe, some good tips there.
Regards,
Duck
Great stuff....as always
SPRINGS...what a great idea...i just had a project where i should have used it but didn't think of it.
Nice tips. I mentor high school robotics and see that this is a great tip for HS students. Hopefully, they will remember this.
Great tips! A few I knew and a few I didn’t! Thanks for sharing!
Cool tips, thanks for sharing, Joe!
Congrats on all the subs! I, too, am a bit shocked that number isn't already much higher!
Keep up the videos Joe
They are much appreciated

Hi Joe, thank you for your useful advices. The next time I‘ve to clamp a odd shape part, I know how to manage it.
Regards from Germany 🇩🇪
I find double stick tape works on parallels quite well.
Wire works too Joe, great vid. retired machinist
Thanks Joe. You rock. Inspiring innovation. Next checkpoint 200k. Let's do this. :D
Joe, you’re looking younger every video..lol, you sir are the wizard of setup! , hope you’re doing well.
SPRINGS!!! I never.. WOW another great video!
Definitely going to make one of those little cylinders! Always look forward to your latest video.
Love it
I learned those tips on my own on the pre-youtube era, except for ball one on angle faces, instead I used an angle block or machining soft jaws for that odd part once in a while.
