Combining blacksmithing and machining. & Putting my Grizzly G0750G lathe to the test. FarmCraft101

- Combining blacksmithing with machining just makes sense though it is rarely done. To make a bolt head/shoulder, you can either turn down the whole rod wasting a lot of material, or, as I show here, you can upset the rod on the end to make it wide enough to form a head. This is just an experiment, and I have many ideas on how I could do it better next time, as well as other ways that I can make my use of material more efficient using "blacksmachining".
I also wanted to see how my new lathe would handle the tough interrupted cut on the rebar, as well as check it's accuracy on turning a long, relatively thin rod. Overall, I am pleased with the results.

4 foot bolt custom made to hold keys Love it
So, even though I've been a metal fabricator and welder as my main profession for over 401 years, I've never turned on a lathe or milling machine. I feel like I'm as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to machining. your explanation in this video makes total and complete sense! I have a small lathe that my grandfather left me when he passed. He was a master machinist. It's been a priority for me to become at least an acceptable machinist. thank you for helping me in my journey.
You are really old...
I can't believe i've never seen or heard of this channel until yesterday when YT suggested your soda can lower receiver video to me. You've got yourself another happy subscriber. These vids are amazing!
Mate, I could watch you all day. So much knowledge it’s incredible. 👍👍
Really neat output...it's great to take something like rebar as a source material to make something beautiful.
I appreciated the threading explanation. Being a woodworker, I feel completely overwhelmed by metal lathe tooling, so your purchases and explanations are helping share confidence :)
Wow, that rebar machined up nice!
That's like some TV commercial I remember from the '90s showing Tool Time Al getting ready for a BBQ by turning toothpicks out of 4x4s.
You really do impress me with your skills.
Thanks to your humor and your skill you now have a new subscriber. Hopefully I will be enjoying and learning from the rest of your videos.
Best key holder ever.
Beats watching the grass grow
Your the man! making everything your self!! I love watching your videos they inspire me!! And teach me a-lot!!
good job...ive never tried custom nut and bolt turning...must give it a try....thanks from our farm in France.
You sure do make some amazing stuff, and I will admit that I'm never bored. Well done!
Bravo. You just passed a trade test , well done.
Two extras this week. Glory be! Thanks
AMAZING WORK!! Love the "who is John Galt" shirt.......
Ha! That's exactly the bolt I need to hold the mirror on my Honda Civic!
Very cool. And, fwiw, I don't think it's overkill. Looks just about right to me!
Neat.
Lol. I picture that bolt hanging out from your mirror into the oncoming traffic lane... :D
lol
FarmCraft101 perfect way to stop bikers from lane splitting lol
I just learned how to use my follow rest properly. Thanks for the video.
"You can't ever have too much overkill" - a coworker of mine from long ago...
Playing catch up on your channel is sooooo much fun!
I loved that book! Well her, too.
I just found you so I'm binge watching.
Good ole farm work. I was raised on it.
WELL DONE, THANKS You are a gifted man.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
That process would be perfect for making the threaded stem of a large apple press for cider/juice! Excellent work, very interesting to watch you create.
Nice long custom Machine screw, well done !
This was a very cool proof of concept that it can be done. Metal is metal and anything can be made with a little ingenuity and some good tools. This video was very entertaining. Subbed...
It's...(wipes tear from eye) it's beautiful
Nice job! And now five years later the phrase on your tee shirt is quite fitting, we may soon be asking the same question, haha.
Awesome skills, an artist in metal, admire your work. All machinists are master craftmen.
Most craziest key hook i've ever seen! :D
Love this video, Be great to see more lathe work, Waves the hand from Tasmania Australia
Your video sums up life. Well done.
The end was super funny! Lol
I know it’s been awhile, but big congratulations anyway! The keys hanger was a real hoot!
wow very interesting. exelent job on that re-bar bolt and nut im actually blown away with your no nonsense knowlagable and skill approach to that job. im a hobby machinist with a 14x40 precision lathe with dro and a 9x49 atrump bridgport clone mill also with dro. im learning new skills everyday and its gyes like you that show the machining audiense interesting aproaches to different un-orthadox things and ways to do things differently. great vid thx.
Well done. I noticed that old Craftsman Shop Vac. I have the exact one. I bet that sucker is 20 years old. You can't kill the old ones.
you know your stuff thanks for the video have fun
Because you CAN! Great job...
Can do. Can have fun doing it. Carry on sir.
Solamente un mecánico tornero entiende está pasión, muy bueno. Saludos desde Argentina
Just come across your channel after watching the ar15 build. This was a great project and test of skills you nailed it great job and what a perfect key holder
You are taking me back to my city and guilds test screw cutting a spindle for a small vice
keyring holder???? I thought you were making a watch screw
No washers or lock washers? Lol! Beautiful job sir!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊
That's awesome, nice work.
LMAO!! Love your videos bud, we have a lot in common! I live in western Canada and I paid just as much as you did for a mill and lathe, except I got less than half of what you got, HA!
I will say that when I was where you were when making this video, we thought very much the same. I'm sure we've both grown a lot over the last few years.
keep up the great videos, they have improved in picture and sound quality immensely! Great work, love the channel, and when I grow up, I want to be just like you John (Spelling?)
Roger from Calgary.
this is pretty awesome, excellent result good job
That last bit made me laugh my ass off
This couldn't have been anywhere near as easy as you made it look. Rebar is some pretty nasty stuff. A testament to the rigidity of the machine, and to the skill of the operator.
Haha too funny when you hung your keys up! Would love to have all your tools. I'd be making big ass bolts too...
what a testament to your skills, nice work !!@
+Matt Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Hola,
That's very well done.
that was nice to watch. thank you
That's the coolest thing EVER!!!!!!!
Amazing work
You are really a gifted man
Now you need to make a wrench for the nut
Nicely done.
Plate on the ground, heavier the better, and drive the entire bar like a spear into the plate to upset. Works very well in my experience for longer pieces with enough mass of their own. Clean up with a hammer then after.
Cool video, enjoyed it.
That's a good idea. I don't think this piece of rebar was quite heavy enough, but if it had been longer as you say might have done the job. I try and remember that for my bag of tricks. Thanks for watching.
Great job, now you gotta find a way to use that thing!!!
Dang! Now ya need to make a couple of flat washers and at least one locking washer!
Absolutely perfect. I'd love to be able to machine parts up like this. Great work I'll definitely be subscribing
Nice. I really need to make a follow rest for my lathe.
Awesome work. Subscribed!
Was curious so checked my machinist handbook and it does list a 13/16-12 thread. Definitely not a common thread.
Another awesome project! I dig this channel. 😎
Fantastic channel, love your content and your ease with the presentation. Just one suggestion you missed showing the cool part where you use the rotating counter to know when to engage the drive to start cutting threads. Thanks
awesome stuff man i love the key hanger
Nice job. There are two things I would do different. 1. Use the follower rest for final thread cuts, thus will ensure even thread depth and cutting angles. 2. The cord that tides along the top of the back splash will eventually damage the paint on the contact surface and even worse break the wires at the contact point to the box it attaches to. I would make a hanger to allow the cable to hang freely from the friction and add a spring where it enters the box to keep the bend to a shallow bend.
I think you could fix anything but the crack of dawn and a broken heart. :) enjoyed the video
He fixed my broken heart
All of that hard work to hang ur keys ,, genius 😂,, good work 👍
You are an amazing guy!
you have nice tools man.
I was impressed by your technique, and I think it's better to heat treat the bolt and nut.
Dimitri Wu how would you do that?
You got those new machines dirty. Very nice project. You look proficient using the lathe, don't think this is your first rodeo.
Just good clean dirt! Thanks for watching!
Wow for a farmer you make a good MACHINIST you have my dream home workshop your Lathe here in Australia would be 5000 dollars plus depending on condition I'm talking second hand was it anything like that price in the States ,as a heavy fitter MACHINIST I'm enjoying your works especially the machinery repairs as my back ground was as an apprentice in an earth moving repair /rebuild shop in the early 70s when you had to rebuild not throw away and get a new part .keep the videos coming
Cheers Kym

The whole video I'm watching and in my mind thinking ( but why? ) and then, it was obviously for the keys... How come i didn't think a it.. Amazing video shows how skilled u r.. Keep the videos coming please.. Thx
I thought the key hook was obvious from the start...no?? ;-) Thanks for watching!
Before I went into union construction I spent 11 months as an apprentice machinist running a boring mill and just couldn't keep up with the math ,he makes this shit look like a cake walk but it's anything but .
I think if you put your mind to it, most people can do most anything. But you are correct! It is definitely not as easy as an edited youtube video makes it look!
my right ear loved this video
nicely done
You could use it to make a wire winder for chainmail, an apple corer, a press, part of a huge exhaust system (giant spring sold separately), or just keep it by the door for home defense.
Awesome concept and video. You could make your own anti theft fasteners and removal tool. Might be a good video
Pretty darn awesome
Well done
Nice ending
Very cool video fella. Very skilled on that lathe
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
FarmCraft101 that bolt looks like it came out of the hardware store. You are very very good at what you do, thanks for the awesome view!
Really cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
lmao, love your new key hook.
Hey, here's a thought make a swage block if you make another. but make a hex pattern for the head and nut.
Cool idea. Well done!
surprised the finish looks nice. isn't rebar just scrap steel sausage mix?
Cool video. If I actually just needed a long bolt, I'd upset the end of the rebar, forge the hex head and thread only the last few inches of the bolt.
I am curious how the bubblegum steel in that rebar would hold up as an actual bolt. That being said, I never would have thought to put rebar in a lathe. For messing around, rebar = waaaay cheaper than cold rolled.
Glenn Burrow some re-bar has better composition than the hardware grade bolts of your Prius.
Put a big piece of steel on the ground, have one person hold and another strike. Hot end down. Has worked best for large pieces
very nice....congratulations..... São Paulo - Capital - Brasil
Good job!👍👍👍👍👍
That was awesome.
Oh no, not an overkill at all.
Too bad it's not a foot OD too... LOL
Wonderful video!!!
Working with steel is FUN - I really enjoy my lathe time :)
Great idea 🤠👍
Very impressive
good work...
I just found this and am glad it did. I enjoyed it, but I must say..certain parts were very 'upsetting' and hard to watch. Well done.
Your toolpost handle is headed the wrong way. About 180 deg. Also, you can use the follow rest for threading long work too. As always what you are doing is interesting. Ive been a machinist for decades, but you wear many more hats. Cheers.
