I am an 82 year old here in the U.K. and have been model engineering all my adult life but I am not ashamed to say I learn something from every one of your videos. Thank you very much. I wonder if you have the time could you make a video with a brief technical biography, I am certain it would be interesting. Thank you again
That's too cute. Great tip about using the adjustable parallels to shim up the support for the part. Now that I finally have a set I can do the same. Regards, Preso
Joe we are the blessed ones having you as a teacher ! Ain't seen a Joe pie video yet where I thought it wasn't nothing special and I probably never will !
Awesome addition to the kit, Joe. Great job as always. Your tip about the adjustable parallels reminded me of the gent who introduced me to sheet metal. There was a part I couldn't produce because of limitations to the stroke/throat of the ram. As he moved the bottom bolster to the side, and re-installed the bottom die, he commented "If you can't raise the bridge, lower the river." Experience is worth gold, thanks for sharing yours 👍
I love seeing your set ups. I'm long retired but could have learned so much from you back in the day to use at work. Thanks for all the time you put into making these videos.
Just WOW Joe! As a mechanic trying to learn hobby machining, this is a wonderful “little” thing to make. A larger version of this would be a good first project once I get a mill...now I’ll need a rotary table too. Thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.
Making the hex with the broach was cool. Thank you for your generosity in making and sharing these videos. The use of the adjustable parallel is genius!
Wow! Just WOW! I have been working on small parts for a project and this turned on so many light bulbs in my brain it took me a while to process it all lol. Thank you for the video, especially the end. I'm a hobbyist and have no formal training so your videos are priceless to me. Thank you and always know how much I appreciate what you do.
That was amazing! That was many years of experience and I thank you for your time!! The video was well worth the use of my time to watch!!!!! God Bless and have a great day!
I have not believed my eyes this whole series. I see big huge lathe parts being milled then all of a sudden a huge hand drops into the scene and shock me!
I am 73 years old and never seen any one attempt something like this. i hope Snap On don't catch you ! My grand son and i so much enjoy your efforts. You set a hallmark for all your viewers and peers, thank you so much . If you a ever in Victoria Texas get in touch with us we have a heavy tool for you . regards Skip
Excellent work process assures great results. I know it's churlish, but I have to ask: why no 15 degree offset on the open wrench? Then again, I didn't see the drawing 😉
2 words for you... FREAKIN AWESOME.... Makes me want to buy a little milling machine and have a go at the engine lathe project..your videos and knowledge makes me think I could pull it off.. inspirational..well done!!!
Amazing! Love it! And the careful planning of the order of operations here is a great illustration of why, as a hobbyist, I've taken to stopping, and thinking "now, how would Joe approach this?". I learn lots of really useful tricks and techniques from you, but most of all, I learn about how to think ahead, and plan the work. Thank you for that!
@@joepie221 I've been doing that and didn't realize it until you pointed that out. Everyone tells me I overthink things and it takes me forever to pull the trigger.
Hi Joe, I am so glad you showed us how to get that wrench free of the block. I couldn't imagine how you were going to do it! Just one great trick after another. Thanks for the lessons.
Hi Joe, you start this video thanking us, well ... let us THANK YOU for all the effort put in just to share your knowledge and skills with us. Very educational and entertaining channel, much appreciated, keep the videos coming. 👍👌👏. PS: subscribe to this channel folks, worth every second of Joe's lessons.
you say thank you for subscribing..... i say no, i say thank you for taking the time to share your skill and knowledge Joe. i have added many of your tips and techniques to my toolbox. Thanks Joe
You know what Joe? When this lockdown is over. I'm going to save up to pay for a flight from Wales UK to Texas just to have the honour of sweeping your shop floor. 😁😁😁 Great little job 👍👍
Joe- I really enjoyed this one . I also enjoy reading the comments. Hopefully pm research is passing on some form of thanks yous to you. Their sales have to be exploding with this build . Your use of the adjustable parallels on either side of the vise is with the time watching the video. Thanks so much
I like that little piece of advice I was wondering if it scales to larger parts? For example a 1/2" grip on a 3" part taking a 1.5" doc. Now I'm a bit afraid to run it!
@@hackish1 I always advocate for as much surface contact as I can get on my material/part.. then it's more about stick out (rigidity) half inch bite sounds fine for most vice applications for chuck applications that should be okay unless your diameter is bigger than say 6 inches. I try to use the 1:4/1:5 ratios for material sticking out vs material size or diameter without special support or tail stock
That is TINY. I was very happy you decided to show the last part, I had a few ideas how you would do it, but being new to machining it is always good to see how a master would do it.
That is surely some milling wizardry. I used you think you were a very smart machinist, but now I realize that you are a genius level machinist. Whenever I get stuck on a setup or technique, I pore through your videos to get some ideas. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
Thanks I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos this is by far my favorite videos to watch I believe I’ve watched them all atleast three times most of them 4-5 trying to figure out how you nail the dimensions every time so consistently lord knows when I try this kit I’ll probably have to buy two of them
Ya did it again. Absolutely amazing. ,,,,,,One of these days,,,,on purpose,,,, you are going to throw a part like the rest of us do a couple times a month, just to show you are not a robot. - In all the time I have been watching you I think I only saw you break one end mill,,,,I think it was you anyway. God bless and thank you for showing us all the VERY valuable techniques that cost you sweat and blood and you give to us fro free. Don't think it's not appreciated. . Keep up the good work.
There are not many people who are capable as you are. You have something you can be proud of. I understand everything you are doing, and a know you must be a specialist to be able to do a complex part like this.
You certainly earned the right to smile and giggle a bit with this one. SUPERBLY DONE! And as is so common when watching your videos I picked up some more ideas on fixturing and order of operations. So fun to watch and educational to boot.
I would go crazy spending that much setup time for such a dinky part. Amazing to watch. I know who to call if the hour hand on my watch needs replacing ;-)
I love that wrench! As usual, I learned a ton; thank you for taking the time to film and post these. I've never seen an indicator holder quite like yours, is it shop-made? I'd like to build one for my rotary table. Again, thank you.
Where were you and your machine tooling skills in '96 when I NEEDED YOU! I got jammed up because I didn't have a teeny tiny novelty sized wrench like that! I had to use my Sikorsky Golden Wrench Award pin!!!! Cheap pot metal does NOT make good wrenches! and I lost that pin forever ...but at least I got the connector taken off and put back on again. Still could have used one of those.
Used Grade 8 bolts for the stock come to mind. I have buckets of them from work that range from 1/4 In to 2 In x 12 In long. No mater what size or application all fasteners were only used once.

That _would_ be interesting. Great Idea Trevor.
Nice idea Trevor !
Would love to hear as many Joe Pi stories as you care to tell Joe. Machining or otherwise!
@@KimbrellBrad Here here! I agree.
I second the motion great idea

Its a good solution. Gage blocks work too.
Joe's signature blend of high density information and dry, effortless humor, is truly lightning in a bottle
Good tip about the adjustable parallels at 18:56.... Love watching you setups and watching you work.... Nice camera work, as usual. Thanks!!!
I used a nice file to remove the break off tabs. :)
Can't wait to see you build the quick change tool post , LOL .
Sacrilege Joe! Best to keep it period.
Possibility but a bit out of date. If it is doable we are in the right store eh.
I would like to see him build a 3 jaw chuck with scroll and top jaws so he can use soft jaws.
@@quinka2 If anybody can pull that off it would be Joe.
Wow!!! That is super elegant precision miniature work...
Thanks. It was fun.
To unloosen is to tighten?? Great stuff.
Welcome, stranger. 🤠
@@stanervin6108 lol :)
That is his way of saying "reloosen".
Joe we are the blessed ones having you as a teacher !
Ain't seen a Joe pie video yet where I thought it wasn't nothing special and I probably never will !
Thanks for the compliment and support.

Some of teh best videos on the net - the WISDOM you have is immeasurable!
Thank you.
Wow Joe I'm in ahhh! Great imagination and great workmanship!
Thanks Chui. I hope you are feeling 100%
I love seeing your set ups. I'm long retired but could have learned so much from you back in the day to use at work. Thanks for all the time you put into making these videos.
I’m a simple man. I have the utmost respect for this man. And, the equipment is NASA stuff...Made in America! Loved it.
Just WOW Joe! As a mechanic trying to learn hobby machining, this is a wonderful “little” thing to make. A larger version of this would be a good first project once I get a mill...now I’ll need a rotary table too. Thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.
Great education. I especially liked the adjustable parallels as outriggers. One of several takeaways for me.
Thanks again.
Joe's Tool and Die. Tools to die for. Keep making those and you'll need a visor like Mr. Pete has. I kind of want one myself.
I need one now.
Making the hex with the broach was cool. Thank you for your generosity in making and sharing these videos. The use of the adjustable parallel is genius!
Superb workmanship. Well Done!
You are one sick individual! That is beautiful - especially the still of it on your finger. Kudos Joe!
I'm speechless! That is as close to perfection as anyone can get in this life.
Excellent!!
Thanks. I used it for the tail stock locking bolt on my mini lathe. Its shown at the end of the assembly video.
That was awesome Sir!
Thanks for sharing your incredible talents.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Just WOW! I have been working on small parts for a project and this turned on so many light bulbs in my brain it took me a while to process it all lol.

I'm glad they help. Never be afraid to try.
Finally a wrench even easier to lose than a 10 mil socket.
ABSOLUTELY!
Lmao, how right you are.
Yup! lol
That is absolutely pure gold.
I thought it was just me!
If you keep on teaching I will try to keep on learning. Thanks for all your efforts.
Nothing short of amazing!
That was amazing! That was many years of experience and I thank you for your time!! The video was well worth the use of my time to watch!!!!! God Bless and have a great day!
With your film sped up, your roads sound like race-tracks...then again, it may be because it's Texas.
Great series, Joe. Very enjoyable.
You ROCK JOE !!! I love to watc a true Craftsman work and I enjoy watching you. Thank you for the videos!!
I have not believed my eyes this whole series. I see big huge lathe parts being milled then all of a sudden a huge hand drops into the scene and shock me!
Whoa! I’m no pro but I love woodwork and metalwork, the big difference is the level of precision. I bow to excellence.
Joe, you ask "how cool is that?!" to which I say "pretty darn cool!".
Yes, cool and inspiring! Watching Joe's videos makes me want to sign off UA-cam and go to the shop!
I am 73 years old and never seen any one attempt something like this. i hope Snap On don't catch you ! My grand son and i so much enjoy your efforts.

@@joepie221 I've been doing that and didn't realize it until you pointed that out. Everyone tells me I overthink things and it takes me forever to pull the trigger.
Unbelievable how small these parts actually are. Very nice work Joe. Nice add on to your project.
Just an artist signing his work.
Chuckle!! Are you going to engrave
“Advanced Innovations” in the handle??
You beat me out on asking that question.
That has to be the coolest part I have ever seen machined from start to finish ! !
Before I read you comment I was thinking "Williams" for the engraving!
Stamp it in with a .5mm letter punch set
Only with a laser could any spider achieve writing that small ^_^
He's got the spider-bros on hand too
Excellent example of planning your machining sequence and setups.
And the camera work makes this part look 10 times as big as it is!
All hail Joe Pie!
Fantastic job Joe, your the best, after 50 years in toolmaking, I learn from you every video.
That right there is clever, well done. Engraving the size would be rubbing our noses in it.
Hi Joe, I am so glad you showed us how to get that wrench free of the block. I couldn't imagine how you were going to do it! Just one great trick after another. Thanks for the lessons.
Very cool! you continue to teach me incredible things! Thank You!
Nice tip on using the adjustable parallels. It could work for non-critical angle cuts as well.

When this lockdown is over. I'm going to save up to pay for a flight from Wales UK to Texas just to have the honour of sweeping your shop floor. 😁😁😁
Great little job 👍👍
That would be an honor.
Maybe TOT & Ron Covel would send one of those "shop Dustpan's" they made for the occasion (@@) :)>
Right on I would do it too !
Cool wrench! What is the torque rating?
'5/8 of an inch' pound.
Loving this build! I think you've got to build the whole model machine shop and power it with the steam engine you made. Too Much Fun!
That could keep him busy for a couple of minutes... :)
I subscribed a long time ago when I first started working with metal. I have learned so much from guy's like you ! Thank you so much for sharing .
Awesome, thank you!
I guess you'd have to call it a "Snap-off" wrench.
Woody
Zing!
You bet ! Love it !
Hey Woody, just stick to serving drinks.
Joe, this video should receive UT's Best Machinist Video of the DECADE award !!!!!!
philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon Division.
its not so much the destination as the road taken, and joe you seem to know all the roads to get there. your videos are the best.

Some times the most obvious solution, isn't the most obvious until you see it.
If the chip exceeds the grip, you can bet the part is gonna slip! -Joe P
sounds like a fart with a lump in it lol

How cool is that? Ultimoso coolness. Another very interesting bit of machining methodology. Thank You!
Can’t believe how talented you are sir! You inspire me to be better. The attention to detail is next to none!

Thanks for the comment. And as I recall, it was a very small drill and it actually broke on the way out of a hole. Surprise the S#*t out of me.
There are not many people who are capable as you are. You have something you can be proud of. I understand everything you are doing, and a know you must be a specialist to be able to do a complex part like this.
I think the heat is getting to you! (Great job!)
You are probably the best machinist of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Thanks for the thought, but there are many very talented machinists out there.
Beautiful to watch - the true expert in micro-machining! Thank you for sharing, Joe. Howdy from the flat fens in the UK! :)

One time I took the foil seal off a peanut butter jar without leaving any pieces. But your wrench is cool too.
You are amazing! Thanks for the effort!

I think you out did your self, Man how I love this...
Me too. This was fun. Thanks.
Wow. Nice job Joe! Now just don’t go and lose it. Good thing it ain’t a 10 mm.
that there is a display of a master machinist at work i did sort of pick up on what it was earlier on just nice to watch you at work Joe

Very nice. Thank you.
Then he goes and looks in the drawer and finds he already had one the same size...
LOL !
Your skills are amazing. It is a beautiful thing.
It’s a gigantic wrench made for a flea to work with.
Absolutely beautiful, phenomenal machine work!!!
When are you going going to make the Collet Chuck? 😁
Great work Joe. Smart use of parallels! Thanks, Pete
Now you have to make a miniature Snap On truck to park outside the miniature shop the miniature lathe goes in.
Better: A little android working with the lathe 😄
You never cease to amaze me.
Sand blast the middle section so it looks forged. Then scribe your name in the recess.
I’m speechless…your skill level is just incredible ❤️
Amazing. Carry on like this and, like the shoemaker, you may get a bunch of Elves coming out at night to make wonderful things on this lathe.
I laughed at the end, right when you did after breaking it free!!!! You are the boss, keep up the teaching!!!!!
A+++, that is amazing…..
Very cool Joe!!!
What the heck, Make a socket and ratchet too. Should only take a week or so. LOL
Ok this kinda blew my mind. Master machinist at work right here. This is the kind of thing that makes you feel like anything is possible.
Love it! Needs a tiny “Made in the USA” marking though.
True...just need to forge, harden and temper a logo punch!
