An old (83) retired mechanical engineer thinks you are one of the few people that do what needs to be done and doesn't cry (much) about it. I have been watching you solve problems the exact way I would have, the right way, awesome. Excellent camera work, awesome!
I’m never sure what’s more impressive, the machinist skills, the welding skills or the ability to find the balance point on odd shaped pieces of material when using the overhead crane.
That little fella at 7:40 is a Welcome Swallow. Gorgeous, happy little birds with seemingly boundless energy that are so named due to their appearance heralding the coming of spring.
Thank you so much for opening with Homey! He gets a lot of screentime here because we recently lost our old puppy dog. I always look for your new videos as I love to work shop. Thank you Kurtis! Thank you Karen! Thank you Homey! We love you all so much!
My condolences for your loss, its always hard losing a family member, especially one you grow as close to as a dog. From how you talk about them though, it seems you gave them a long and happy life, which is really all they could have asked of you.
my dog also passed by recently. i also love homey’s screentime, would love to see homey meet bullion & ingot … ( if the distance is not so far to drive 🙈 ) ….
Just wanted to mention that it’s awesome to see Kurtis getting used to his new pearly whites! Dudes got a great smile now and sounds damn near like he did pre-surgery.
I thought he was a different person when I saw the most recent video. My wife and I gave her sister $3k to get her teeth done and it was the best money I ever spent. It literally changed her life.
Karen really nails the audio! Its often overlooked or done bad, but you are great at keeping it balanced between clips. No jumpscares cause 1 clip is crazy loud or something.
Not just UA-cam videos. Her audio is better than a lot of the videos on the paid streaming platforms! It's very annoying to have to turn on closed captions just to hear dialog.
@@jonpattison - Standards for streaming services tend to be about the same as for cable channels, which are / were significantly lower than the ones for "real" broadcast TV. I've worked in (TV and film) post-production since the 90s, and until 15 or 20 years ago it would be unthinkable to have a _single_ dropped frame or slightly mismatched audio in a "finished" (i.e., ready for broadcast) tape. We would literally re-record the whole tape if _one_ frame had an error. But people got so used to that with online videos that they don't seem to care anymore. Cinema still has pretty high standards, but the lines are getting blurred. It's a good thing most video formats don't use interlacing anymore, because that's a whole extra layer of issues that I suspect a lot of modern "video technicians" would have no idea how to handle (in fact, I've seen major interlacing and timebase screw-ups on the UA-cam channels of several international networks, like CBS or the BBC). But bad (as in inaudible / incomprehensible) audio is often _not_ the fault of audio engineers or post-producers, it's partly a fad (some directors think dialogues _should_ be hard to understand because "it's more realistic") and partly cost-cutting (audio is used straight from the live recording, without any ADR / Foley even if the original was noisy, etc. - they just leave the noise in, or brute-force filter it out even if that messes up the actors' voices). And yes, Karen is easily in the top 20% of (professional!) videographers I've worked with.
I'm retired 56 years old I was in the military. I'm no mechanic and I don't know how to weld but I was a pipefitter for a year and a half with a company when I was younger and worked with one welder. I have been binge watching your videos for the last 3 days and have really enjoyed watching them watching them. The crane refurbishment and I just finished watching you making the Earth clamp. Thanks for the way you and your wife produced the videos. Cheers
I personally chuckled that he said “some people use a gauge or special tool…” then proceeds to use the shop-made “ruler cut to the right height.” That’s a gauge, ain’t it? 😂
Aaah Friday morning..............and just in time, the long-awaited second part of the tool holder grinding machine project is available. A perfect start to the weekend. Excellent work by Kurtis on the lathe and milling machine and by Karen filming with two cameras at the same time and post-processing.👍 I'm already looking forward to the third part next week! Greetings from: 🇩🇪
This build motivated me to spend last weekend making spacer risers to get my TP grinders on center on my two lathes and make a wheel dresser as well, thanks mate!
I think the birds are starting to go from background actors to supporting cast and I love it, and the birds. As you're tapping in the bearings I immediately said to myself that hammer has put in a few days work. Keep the awesome work and videos up. I love seeing them.
Kurtis, i love these shop made tools! You make them better than anything you can buy and tailor them to your specific needs. Big respect for your skill and determination to save money and still have the tools you need to enhance your business.
I'm glad you mentioned guards. I was getting a bit worried during the build but I haven't seen Kurtis compromise on health and safety yet so I probably shouldn't have. With such huge stones, a powerful motor and the inherent susceptibility to knocks and bumps the stone explosion risk is probably higher than in most other machines with abrasive stones.
Nothing beats a Home made Tools video, honestly these are the best part of my week! sitting down and watching this on my 4K TV in surround sound....makes it all that more immersive!
I don't typically comment very often and I'm sorry that it may hurt your algorithm but when I witnessed you touch the material to feel the temperature it just showed me that you really are the individual that I already felt that you were, cuz you understand the cause of thermal dynamics in tight tolerances the same way when I try to explain what tensile strength is to ppl when they asked me to weld certain materials together and expect a specific load capacity. Once again you have my respect and admiration cuz you wouldn't do it any different than I would. And a little Overkill in material if you can afford it in your personal projects never hurt anyone. It just gives you the extra confidence when you have to exceed certain parameters to get the job done you know you built it and what is truly capable of.
I enjoy watching this guy work, he's a master of the trade! A true Jake of all trades . I just wish he had about a dozen sons to share his knowledge with to keep these trades alive. As always I enjoyed watching!
Hi! Rizalde Uy here. I’m currently engaged in heavy equipment business. I’ve been following your channel. Your ideas helped me a lot in terms of equipment problems we encountered from day to day.
I'm not that dedicated. The posts come up at 08:00 here in the UK. I normally have my first coffee on the go in bed when the notification goes off. A nice lazy start to retirement Friday.
as easy as those berings went in ...will they walk out under load? i'm surprised you didn't counter bore a little deeper for a snap ring . Great video it's always interesting to see what other machinist do and what ideas i can adapt for my little shop
I was thinking the same thing, those bearings went in without much press fit. Just seems there should be snap rings and possibly an outer liquid seal on the grinding wheel end, but I guess they could be added later if needed.
I love how in the last video you made the clamps 100mm to fit standard stock and now you weren't able to get 100mm stock for the housings and had to machine it anyway 😂😂
Kurtis your work is incredible. I always look forward to Fridays to see what you do next. Karen, you're behind the scene is incredible as well. I am looking forward to seeing your tool post-grinder in action.
Your channel is brilliant. I trained as a mechanical engineer through 1998 to 2002 in a university whose specialty was machining. Theres so many concepts I had to learn through a book that have been absolutely brought to life by your videos. Would you ever think of doing a shorts series of the stuff you think is trivial (for instance choice of tool, centre finding) as I think it would get loads of views.. you could link to those videos whenever you use that particular technique. Your approach is just.. 👌
Watched for a long time now, you are both very talented people. I enjoy the content even though I do not own any metal tools only DIY woodworking/plumbing etc. You have a hell of a lot of patience and grit. I could not restore that crane. All the best from England.
Thanks for sharing another great video. It is really helpful to those of us running machines but not at Kurtis level to see and hear one cutting pass without it being sped up. So many subtle tricks and tips to absord by watching!
I love Friday mornings with Homey, Kurtis, and Karen. I'm a retired teacher (music, and science.) I have never touched a lathe or a mill but I really enjoy the channel a great deal. Thanks so much for your wonderful Channel.
What an amazing build! I found myself watching parts of the video over 2 or 3 times to watch the machining and fitment. Damn, you're good. It's like you are making jewelry. But man what a grinder! And the video was awesome, getting multi-angle shots and close-ups. Thanks guys and looking forward to the next installment! Cheers.
That long spindle for internal grinds is impressive indeed. Back in the '70s, a shop where I worked had considered the prospect of acquiring a lathe and tool post grinder for the purpose of restoring the ID of Lycoming and Continental aircraft engine cylinders to their original spec after rechroming, When we figured out that we would need to process at least 3,000 cylinders to save money vs the cost of having the outsource shop do it, we decided it just was not practical. No one in our shop had your fabrication skills. Mine were not up to it back then, though I may have been the best they had, which was sad since I was the youngest. Experience will often exceed inventiveness when it comes to skill in problem-solving, but my shorter experience was broader than theirs since they'd all been in one job forever. Still, all of us put together would not have equaled the talent of the general machinist around the corner from our shop, and you're far better than he was. I know skill when I see it, and I'm seeing lots of it here.

This is awesome !! I can't wait to see the next step in this process . Nothing better than shop built tools !! Homie is the greatest !! And so are you guys !! 👍👍
Another week and here you folks are. Great to see the 3 of you. One of the things that keeps me coming back is the size of your lathes. Mine were as is and big or small it did it all. You allready know how much I support in house tools, jigs and anything you can make is cash in the bank. If these were to be bought and paid for they would cost a fortune. Now you have purpose made, exactly what you want and need. Tools that minus your time are really inexpensife overall eh. Thanks so much for another Friday seeing what I liked to do best over 50 years. You too Karen. This is a two way streat from start to finish. A nurgle on Homie's noggin too. See you next week my friends.
It's so nice to see how careful you are handling your equipment, machines and finishing parts! You're a bit of exception in the trade for what I have seen...
When I was 16 I was working a lathe with 2 -1/2 turns of slack in the cross slide. I was machining valve bodies with tapered threads for high pressure naptha pumps. I'm sure I couldn't do it now. I'm also sure you appreciate the wonderful machinery you work with.
Quel régal de voir ce travail de précision et bravo a madame pour filmer cet usinage! la qualité de l'image égale celle du travail d'usinage de son époux. Encore bravo a vous deux.
03:43 AM in Red Deer AB, Canada. 18 mins left in the video and I can’t wait to see the test runs on this contraption when it is completed. Love it. All the best to you and yours Curtis, and 🐕 too.
Hey you 3. I thought perhaps I missed this all together this week. Great to see you all again. I see all the odd ball numbers on your micrometer. What is with that EH, LOLOLOL. You both know how I believe in making shop created tooling. They are still money in the till pieces that will continue to give and give and give. Custom made to your standards as well. WOOHOO ! I just answerd a little post that wanted to know about how to deal with a case hardend shaft so I introduced him to your way of using ceramics. A week later he is one happy fella. When I was working I used FAG bearings a lot. Exactly as you described them. The fit and finish on these parts are exactly what you wanted old friend. Well done eh. One ofthose feel good pieces that reply to "Did I make That, LOLOLOLO" Again, Well done eh. I can hardly wait untill this system is up and working or on the tool room wall. It;s a one of a kind and any shop would love to have them. Now you need the anti vibration pure rubber straps to do the deed from "Bear Automotive Tools" they really work and mine are over 40 yrs old and work as they were when they were new 45 + yrs ago.
Bloody beautiful Kurtis and yes your long tool is very impressive, it’s quite the mouthful. Well done mate, good to see AUS boys doing it as good as the overseas lads. Karen, awesome job of the filming, really complements the channels content
I never cease to be amazed at how you, Kurtis, are able to do such beautiful and precise work all while being saddled with having to use the metric system of measurement 😂!
My wife is giggling like a schoolgirl right now. She heard my gasp of exasperation when I heard and realized there was going to have to be a part 3! Love the work and am grateful that you take the time to show us all that goes into building these. Thank you so so much and I look forward to the next installment. You make my Fridays something to look forward to!😊
Kurtis thinking that your series is so great ,watching it is really educational for me. Not being a machinist it is eye opening, thanks from Western USA.
Very good machining on the parts. May I suggest putting studs and nuts in the spindle housing clamp ?It would make it easier on you when mounting the grinding spindle 👍
Considering that I haven't a clue what you're talking about, or even doing, it is great testimony to your and Karen's skill that I find your vids compelling viewing.
We've successfully built the spindles and we're getting closer to the completion of our tool post grinder! But will they fit the mount and clamps we made in Part 1? Tune in to find out! 👀Drop a comment below with your thoughts on the project so far 😄👇

G'day Kurtis, Karen and Homey awesome video as always mates. Homey was so funny trying to choose a toy 😂😂😂
8 minutes in, over 3000 views. You guys sure have a great audience!
Cheers 👍💪✌
11 minutes in, over 4500 views...say no more 🙂
@rjung_ch we have the best YT community!

The right way is always faster in the long run.
You've really found the sweet spot with realtime vs fast forward on the repeat parts. Never need to skip forward watching. Love the editing!
Hey Kurtis, great to see the ways you create more tools you use, but can’t wait to see the franna series again 😊
yeah when he builds new things and or does things like the crane is my favorite too.
You'll wait.
FRANNA FRANNA FRANNA ❤
Me too😊, Kurtis is nothing less than an artist! He goes beyond just skills and knowledge
Mayby it a tool needed to work on the franacrane?
I’m never sure what’s more impressive, the machinist skills, the welding skills or the ability to find the balance point on odd shaped pieces of material when using the overhead crane.
All three of those skills are equally impressive.
We don’t know how many times they tried before the video. At least that’s what I would do.
@@dirtfarmer7472 that is true but there’s plenty of instances where it’s all one take
Yes, I am more impressed with Karen's editing ability! Nevertheless, Kurtis is amazing all the way around!!
It used to be a fun game at my old shop using the magnet on our diamond plate floors. The new guys would always get humbled real quick lol
Pretty sure that toolpost grinder weighs more than my lathe. 😁 Beautiful work as always, Kurtis!
Thanks Quinn appreciate it!

He's the star of the show. the machining is just to keep you busy in between his segments.
I agree…He sure loves going to work 👍🏻😁🐕🥰
my dog also passed by recently. i also love homey’s screentime,
would love to see homey meet bullion & ingot … ( if the distance is not so far to drive 🙈 ) ….
Yes this was different & nice for a change, thank you
Just wanted to mention that it’s awesome to see Kurtis getting used to his new pearly whites!

Hope you guys had an awesome weekend.
Hey Tony, thanks so much. We're really enjoying this project - excited to see it completed as well! Cheers! Kurtis, Karen & Homey
Love the ruler cut to perfect height for centring, quick, easy and efficient. Have a great weekend guys.
Can't beat a yard stick mate
And it doesn't care if it's metric/banana's or apple's
Avoid "unitools" wherever possible - it's a ruler and a height gage. No excess unitools cluttering up the area. I like it.
I’d be willing to gamble that he has a different tool for each of his machines
I personally chuckled that he said “some people use a gauge or special tool…” then proceeds to use the shop-made “ruler cut to the right height.” That’s a gauge, ain’t it? 😂

I think the birds are starting to go from background actors to supporting cast and I love it, and the birds.
As you're tapping in the bearings I immediately said to myself that hammer has put in a few days work.
Keep the awesome work and videos up. I love seeing them.
Some of us are just starting our days, others just finishing it. But we've all been looking forward to the next vid😎🏴🇺🇲

Great to see the process of basic materials becoming a tool that makes the shop better.
Another lovely serries of a shop made tool that's ingeniously designed and fabricated. Can't wait to see it finished off and then demonstrated.
I have to say, this is really impressive. Great work. I wish I was this competent in so many areas..

Another week and here you folks are. Great to see the 3 of you. One of the things that keeps me coming back is the size of your lathes. Mine were as is and big or small it did it all. You allready know how much I support in house tools, jigs and anything you can make is cash in the bank. If these were to be bought and paid for they would cost a fortune. Now you have purpose made, exactly what you want and need. Tools that minus your time are really inexpensife overall eh. Thanks so much for another Friday seeing what I liked to do best over 50 years. You too Karen. This is a two way streat from start to finish. A nurgle on Homie's noggin too. See you next week my friends.
It's so nice to see how careful you are handling your equipment, machines and finishing parts! You're a bit of exception in the trade for what I have seen...
that’s the difference between a precision machinist, and a fabricator. fabricator ain’t got time for that 😂
What a work of art. Very impressive.
Woohoo Finally made a Friday night viewing, first time for a while. Greets from across the ditch from Auckland, NZ
I have been watching far a few months and love the videos! I’m amazed by the skill you have but more so by the very gentile way you handle everything.
When I was 16 I was working a lathe with 2 -1/2 turns of slack in the cross slide. I was machining valve bodies with tapered threads for high pressure naptha pumps. I'm sure I couldn't do it now. I'm also sure you appreciate the wonderful machinery you work with.
Quel régal de voir ce travail de précision et bravo a madame pour filmer cet usinage! la qualité de l'image égale celle du travail d'usinage de son époux. Encore bravo a vous deux.
03:43 AM in Red Deer AB, Canada. 18 mins left in the video and I can’t wait to see the test runs on this contraption when it is completed. Love it.
All the best to you and yours Curtis, and 🐕 too.
Hey you 3. I thought perhaps I missed this all together this week. Great to see you all again. I see all the odd ball numbers on your micrometer. What is with that EH, LOLOLOL. You both know how I believe in making shop created tooling. They are still money in the till pieces that will continue to give and give and give. Custom made to your standards as well. WOOHOO ! I just answerd a little post that wanted to know about how to deal with a case hardend shaft so I introduced him to your way of using ceramics. A week later he is one happy fella. When I was working I used FAG bearings a lot. Exactly as you described them. The fit and finish on these parts are exactly what you wanted old friend. Well done eh. One ofthose feel good pieces that reply to "Did I make That, LOLOLOLO" Again, Well done eh. I can hardly wait untill this system is up and working or on the tool room wall. It;s a one of a kind and any shop would love to have them. Now you need the anti vibration pure rubber straps to do the deed from "Bear Automotive Tools" they really work and mine are over 40 yrs old and work as they were when they were new 45 + yrs ago.
Hope you can get many years of service out of these beautiful tools that Kurt is making. Great job, guys. ❤🎉🎉
We agree that your videos are THE BEST and we send much praise to the camera and editing crew. Keep up the super job!!
Homie he is one happy dog makes me smile bless him. 😀
I love to see multiple part, shop made tools fit together so beautifully. Excellent work.
Bloody beautiful Kurtis and yes your long tool is very impressive, it’s quite the mouthful. Well done mate, good to see AUS boys doing it as good as the overseas lads. Karen, awesome job of the filming, really complements the channels content
Not even sure how to take that statement, but I'm secure enough in my manhood to complement your tool!
I never cease to be amazed at how you, Kurtis, are able to do such beautiful and precise work all while being saddled with having to use the metric system of measurement 😂!
My wife is giggling like a schoolgirl right now. She heard my gasp of exasperation when I heard and realized there was going to have to be a part 3!
Love the work and am grateful that you take the time to show us all that goes into building these. Thank you so so much and I look forward to the next installment. You make my Fridays something to look forward to!😊
Maybe even part 3-4&5 before they get done
That tool center height ruler was a good tip. I'll make one when I get to my shop today.. Nice work and big thanks!!!
I could stay in your shop all day and just watch you do your stuff,totally fascinating !
Id even sweep up and make the coffee for free!
Those bearings fitting in were chefs kiss.
Those keyway cutting shots are fantastic!
Definitely some of the lightest cuts I've ever seen you take. I was surprised when I see thst tiny swarf coming off
It's Friday! Hurray. 🙂
Very very beautiful machining! Unbelievable the precise fit of the bearings and shafts.
Awesome as Always Thankyou for Another Quality Vid.. Very Entertaining
Kurtis thinking that your series is so great ,watching it is really educational for me. Not being a machinist it is eye opening, thanks from Western USA.
Coffee, Karen, and the kids :) Mon the weekend! Thanks for all your hard work, both of you. Take care & stay safe.
Great work as always kurtis I have to admit that the coolant pipe popping of did make me chuckle lol all the best god bless from the uk london
Very good machining on the parts.
May I suggest putting studs and nuts in the spindle housing clamp ?It would make it easier on you when mounting the grinding spindle 👍
Thank you three for the content!
Midnight special for me. Happy to stay up late every Thursday night.
I can't wait to see the rest of this project, i'm loving it!
Kurtis, King of Chamfers, did it again 👍. You build beautiful precision tools, and Karen edits phantastic videos. 👍☀️👍.
All the best to you and Homey.
It's coming on, nice looking set up with either long or short bar, looking forward to see it in action. Cheers.
Considering that I haven't a clue what you're talking about, or even doing, it is great testimony to your and Karen's skill that I find your vids compelling viewing.
Just got my CEE-coffee mug. Morning coffee tastes just so much better now ❤
