Your ability to turn junk scrap metal into legit tooling amazes me. Caught the Rene Magritte reference, and loved the assembly animation near the end. Giving TOT a run for his money on the videography!
Have to say that I really like what you are doing, but really really like the fact that you are not giving out a stream of brand names. You are obviously NOT milking the supplier audience, basically soliciting free equipment for video exposure and endorsements. I've got to respect this.
Just wanted to say that you're nailing this, Jeremy. Excellent videos. Your subscriber base is going to increase dramatically if you continue. Keep up the good work! :)
i hope so, his content is in the same game with tony, joe, abom, robrenz, blondie and even the stefan, altho there are differences, as rob and stef do mostly what you would expect a jig grinder and such to be used for, others educate or show their everyday work and tony is tony... Also, this might be rude to do, but there is another channel like this, ``machining and microwaves``, that is underrated and i would love to see Jeremy and that dude go somewhere, as they both provide totally overseen content that is plain amazing... Jeremy is even better in that regard, as his machines are really not either fresh, nor fresh ground to resurface them, and yet he does what he does... Its people like that that are the reason I now own 8 tons of steel and iron in form of lathes, mills and grinders, and i while not as far as possible from a machinist by schooling, am now a self proclaimed machinist, only due to guys like this... Well, i do have a few papers that state that i do have schooling and knowledge in area of mechanics, machining, physics, chemistry, biology and math, but hey, I was originally gonna finish agronomy college, and now i run machines and a have a car shop, but car services are mostly only for me and family... I am still learning so having come across this channel, this is a great new book in my bag...
Just came across your channel, and have already watched about a dozen of your videos. Really great stuff. I particularly enjoy how you share your mistakes, and your dry humor in the face of them never fails to amuse me. Also I know how hard it is to edit, and you've done a bang-up job with the production. Looking forward to watching the rest of your stuff!
i just binged a bunch of you videos. a feel whole lot smarter now. i am a novice metal worker...i love how you recycle and make something awesome from nothing...very aspirational....
Visual gags *and* the dry humour one can expect from a machinist. Add to this clear explanations, really good sense for shot setup and the ability to turn scrap into tools. You are really on the right track.
Good stuff! I just found your channel the other day. It turns out I have the same Index mill you have (but with the power feed) and the same Logan lathe you have (if yours is a 10"). Your power hacksaw is very similar to my Racine as well and you do a lot of the same type of work as I do. I have two shapers, a good working 7" South Bend and a 12" Vernon that needs some work.
could put some brass schoes on the end of the metal that tuches the part being machined could might even be able to use battery poles (graphite) stuck intoo a blind hole in the tip of those fingers though im not sure if they are wear resistand enough or just shatter
Twist drills don’t (usually) drill exactly on size, and don’t drill exactly round holes either. By drilling undersize holes and then reaming, you end up with a more accurate result.
The short answer is “down by the river.” I’m involved in an effort to partially clean up some old industrial land and turn it into a park. There were a few paper mills in the late 1800/ early 1900’s and a foundry up until the 1960’s. And as things went in those days, they didn’t do a great job cleaning up when they left. There’s been a lot stuff dumped over the years too.
Dude was it you that talked about shaving a yeti…or sharpening shears? Lmao man i ive tried and tried to find that again bc its the story of my life but I remember exactly how it was said.
Awesome as always... I have another question about your mill... I noticed you oiling your ways, does your machine have built in dedicated ports for oiling the ways? It took me a while, but I found mine on my Cochrane bly in an unusual place on the table under some screws that were at 1st obscured by gunk
The most underrated channel I've ever come accross.

Definitely agree, Craig.

the stick around ending is all you need. BTW, I really like how you make stuff out of "junk"

A mate of mine reckons " you can't make strawberry jam out of shit" You prove him very wrong, that's some mighty good jam 😍👍
:s
Excellent video. I will now try it to make myself one. Your videos are great for teaching an amateur like myself the different steps. Thank you

Daniels comment said it all!!!
Thanks for sharing
Great work as always. We shared this video on our our homemade tools forum this week :)
You do love the art of language and phonetics. Me too.
This is totally work. I saw Joe pie use a piece of wood. Then this version from scrap. I love it. Junk to treasure.
Makin’ tools to repair tools….. there’s just a certain amount of right in all that 👍👍😎👍👍
Well not sure about you being artistic but you are definetly creative, super job on the follower.

That missing table chunk looks very useful. Maybe i`ll do that to my Bridgeport.
I think I heard you say Keep it oiled one time. That makes a good sign off.
Keep it up. Love the repurpose stuff.
Neat trick with rotary table and the fly cutter. I'll have to tuck that one in a grey cell.
Love the way you work with scrap stuff most of the time, as I do... subscribed 😎👍
Brilliant. I make stuff from "scrap" too. Fun stuff.
Loved the Monty Python reference!
Great work, enjoyed the video.
great work. I've got to make a follower rest for my logan too
Great videos like usual!
You could always put a slot into the bearing studs and make some bronze end-caps held by some bolts. Little waste and they would be replaceable. 😀
Good idea. Another option is to tig braze (or gas braze) some bronze onto the ends, then machine them again the same way to tidy it up.
Very nice to share your information
Thanks
Muy buen dispositivo para lograr fabricar ese tornillo maestro bendiciones 👍💪
could put some brass schoes on the end of the metal that tuches the part being machined could might even be able to use battery poles (graphite) stuck intoo a blind hole in the tip of those fingers though im not sure if they are wear resistand enough or just shatter
Very well done, thanks for sharing!
Sup bro, i like your vids! Keep it on
The knee cranking 4:12 🤣
Hello brother ... I also do the same thing as you do..
But you do it better..thank you🤝🤝🤝
Now I have to get my MiniLathe put back together
Why do holes need to be reamed after drilling? Is it simply to smooth them out?
Twist drills don’t (usually) drill exactly on size, and don’t drill exactly round holes either. By drilling undersize holes and then reaming, you end up with a more accurate result.
"I guess since I needs these for this shot I should make these next"
Lol
Great build, were do you find your castiron? It's hard to come by around here, great video, keep'um coming..

Spot on mate 👍
I'm 100% watching this because of the title Magritte.
Which I thought was "Ceci n’est pas une pipe"

Awesome as always...
I have another question about your mill...

It took me a while, but I found mine on my Cochrane bly in an unusual place on the table under some screws that were at 1st obscured by gunk
It has oil ports on the table, but not the saddle or column.
Nothing make me feel more manly than making my own tools...
Still working on converting an old edm into a makeshift mill.
Very nice. 👍
Muito bom 👏👏👏
Great continent
👍👌
👍👍👍👍
wow being a machinist means, "I dont have the tool for that" isnt an excuse is it? LOL
