i love how a rather complex project becomes so much easier to comprehend since you take things step-by-step and explain each operation. what appears daunting at first quickly becomes "doable" -- thanks to you!!
Glad you got the PayPal donation set up! I paused the video and made a donation before 60 seconds had passed! Thanks for all you do and for sharing with us all these years! Much appreciation!
Another great video (I haven't seen a bad one yet!) I agree that the fine knurl is much better. As for drilling holes where absolute accuracy is not required, I simply wrap a small piece of masking tape around the bit with the leading edge of the tape at the point that I need to stop drilling. Keeps my drill bits free of ink! Thank you Mr Pete!
Beautiful knurling, I too love the fine knurl on smaller pieces, as you said its all about being in proportion. To me large knurnling looks more like budget tools while the fine knurling looks like fine quality. But that's just my laymans take. Either way fine work as always, love seeing the old school skills still at work and demonstrated for the new generation.
I love your videos, I also would love a tool list on the project. I can make sure I have the tools, along with a materials. list and a operations point break down. Why? I thought I might start some young boys and this project has so many operations and possible mistakes, it would be fun. I am a Gunsmith and my machine , small . but thought I could help these kids get interested in Machining. we need them.
I ran a 501 c3 for 10 years, after school drug diversion program for boy and girls 9-14. I'm retiring to open my gun store Numismatist shop. dealing gun , repair , gold silver and jewerly manufacturing. always looking for projects and equipment. I was looking for a drill mill and anyone with suggestions on brand and model I would appreciate it. yours truly. also a lathe and mill that will withstand the torture of adolescents. lol.
Hey there Mr. Pete (Lyle). I've made a few of your projects with outstanding results. I'm currently in the process of making the wiggler where I've ran into a bit of an issue. In the video you stated the nose cap is threaded 5/16 24, but the body is threaded 3/8 24, so the assumption is the nose should be threaded 3/8 24 especially since you used the Q letter drill? I am very new at machining so if I did something wrong I would appreciate positive criticism so I can proceed with this project.
ok question sir, why wouldn't you use the drill chuck to start your tap?? it should be centered with your lathe chuck unless im not seeing something... but good educational videos i enjoy them very much and thank you for the videos on gears
Following you're instructions and making the wiggler. You advised to turn the Male threads @ .375 and 3/8 x24 threads, Then turning the female threads instructions were to use 5/16x24 tap. What's the correct machining? Stan Springfield Mo
You must be careful around the people in this comment section. If you misspell a word, they will come after you and laugh to the high heavens. I wrote brake, one time, but the word I meant was break, so they jabed and laughed. :( I know you meant wish, when you wrote which. All I have is a drill press, so I'm wishing the same thing.

Hi Bill
THANK YOU very much. It will be put to good use.
Another great video (I haven't seen a bad one yet!) I agree that the fine knurl is much better.

I love your vids and teaching Mr. Pete! The shop teacher I never had (because they don't do machine shop in a schools any more)
Lite Roadie I have a gun store and machine shop I love to see kids from about 8 to 10 years work the machines. you are so right.
i like how you run your lathe at warp 11. no wasting time with low rpms in this shop.
Another great video thank you Mr. Pete
Love this series. Thanks, Mr. Pete.
Coming along nicely mrpete. regards from the UK
Ditto. It's an enjoyable series. Regards.
Knurling master you are. Nice detailed job as always!

Thank you for your visit to my channel.
I use my tap follower almost daily!!! Thank you for that one too! Great projdct
I must say I like the large knurled look over the fine.
I love your videos, I also would love a tool list on the project. I can make sure I have the tools, along with a materials. list and a operations point break down. Why?

Get a SOUTH BEND lathe. Not sure about the combo machines
big master,thank you!! ..saludos desde argentina.
My die is hexagon shaped, Like to have video giving instructions for making a hexagon shaped die holder.
Love you're training videos.

The drawing is wrong apparently. Remember, someone else made the drawing for me. The two threads have to match
another wonderful video.. what is your camera set up in the shop?
ok question sir, why wouldn't you use the drill chuck to start your tap?? it should be centered with your lathe chuck unless im not seeing something... but good educational videos i enjoy them very much and thank you for the videos on gears
+Darrell Vasquez you are right, and often I do it that way. There are just many different ways of doing these operations
Yes sir i agree, its always good to do different techniques and methods, keep doing what your doing and have yourself a merry little Christmas
Following you're instructions and making the wiggler.

What's the correct machining?

Tell me the time on the vid & I will correct with a note
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Lyle, I like your work
Thanks
If my UA-cam shop teacher has taught me anything, it's to "use lots of oil when knurling."
Thanks for sharing sir...
how stable your mitutoyo caliper ? does it costs his price ? I bye ip54 china caliper, not cheapest, and periodically have some random reading jumps
very stable--perfect--I bought it used $30
Why no handle on the file?
thank you great vidio.
I which I can have all that machine to make work at home but I will some day
