Thanks Angelo, that was helpful. I wish you had shown a piston in place in a model. I'm building a pair to control the rudder on a steampunk airship.

Will be doing a series of tutorial soon. And that looks like something i can work on!

How many of you here are compelled to blow at the screen, when you see the white specs on his fingers after he uses the rounded iron tool?
Me, for starters.
It’s like seeing those films where a guy is about to dive underwater, and so you naturally instinctively take a quick breath 🤣

[@MechDesigns]

The Pin vise with a Diamond drill bit?

[@bleedingflesh224]

what's the name of the gray caps?

[@thomream1888]

Dude! Major props for creativity! My problem is I could barely understand and hear you. No, not your accent, I think the mic sucks. Do you have an external mic you can use? The sound is real muddy, like the crappy speakers at the drive-up window at McDonalds! Other than that, OUT-FREAKIN-STANDING!!! Seventeen thumbs up!

[@kaferrat]

It would also help if the camera stayed on focus on what he's doing, as opposed to the cutting mat.

Where did you buy the pipe cutter?

[@MechDesigns]

Bought in Japan, you can find something similar on hardware stores.
