I found this looking for something else and I'm glad I did; your work on the piece and the cinematography are both top-notch! I don't think I could afford to commission one of my own but I note that you had several of the piano parts; if you're interested we could talk about one of those and a wood blank so I could make one of my own. Let me know please.
Thanks! Do you think I should go ahead and split my channel, I have quite a bit of 3d printing tech on here, it seems to be the most popular thing to focus on these days.
Thanks, I couldn't justify buying the layout blue, so I did some research and found that it can be made easily with shellac, dye (mine was chocolate leather dye) which I had on-hand, and alcohol. It worked very well, If it were a little darker it might show up better, but it did the job. It might be hard to compete with the Dykem, but it's not really necessary if you're not a machinist. Let me know if you think it might be worth making a video on how to do it. Thanks again for taking the time and have a great one.
@@NeedItMakeIt OK that makes sense, when I first saw it I thought it was some sort of rust converter. I really don't think the blue layout fluid is anything special, often I will use a Sharpie marker.
Another fluid that was more common in the mid 60’s, or before is a saturated solution of water, and copper sulfate (blue crystals). Add some to the workpiece and scrub with some emery cloth. Some of the older recipes called for a few drops of an acid. I do not remember which, or how much, and it truly is not needed to get a nice copper color that is really nice for flat work, like templates and gages.
Gorgeous indeed. And there's something elegant about the way you work and the venerable machines you use. The whole thing was a delight.

Education pure. More like that. Thanks a lot!
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Awesome! Thank you!
It is interesting how were made from scratch first machine tools when there were no machine tools
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Nice work

Excelente y preciso trabajo 👍👏
Best video yet!
Thanks, it turned out well, hopefully it provides some entertainment to folks.
It's good work but I suspect you'll eventually make something lighter and with more flex. I hope you get a milling machine. It will change your life.
Nice job.
Richard King recommends the scraper be ground in an arc.
It comes with an arc already.
Very nice.
I have a question, what was the brown layout fluid you used ?
Thanks,
