Gday Stevo, your engraving is absolutely beautiful, sum day I will be able to do it I hope, very interesting puzzle, throughly enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing mate, take care Matty
Oh Stevodee, You've done it again! Superlative craftsmanship, engraving, patina and a Wad of fun! Slippies - sheeze, just had a two wound go around with that and a small diamond cuttoff wheel with 2 weeks of hourly remembrances...should have thunk to have a black and tan prior, Doh! I hate Slippies! With 6 to the umpteenth permutations and all the misdirection, your buddy did good I think. Me thinks Your videography is also a good testament to KineMaster. Thanks for making my day! Brilliant!
@@stevohdee8118 I b callin' Whoopsies cuz em r call'd flip flappies out here in the way back. sides ne'er learn't to read Awsie verwell and Bob's ma Cuz not ma uncle, cuz. @ts 2 days in a row u made ma day! ;-P Always a treat, thumb up!
I envy your skills. I have several mechanisms that I need to make but lack the ability to do it. If I had your skill it would be done in a couple of days...Been working on these things for over 3 years and it's just fail after fail. sigh.
Dear traffer, the more we fail the more we learn, keep @ it.. Tip, I often just recline in my recliner @ visualize problem then eventually the solution comes, works for me, try it. Please say what you're trying to achieve, maybe I can help, regards stevoh
@@stevohdee8118 Here is a link to download a drawing of what I need to make. It is a linear blade type crimping tool for crimping the brass of a 22 rim fire reload onto the bullet. I have a video of the collet type crimper that I am using. The collet type does not give me the ability to do very finely repeatable results for creating match-grade rim fire ammo:www.dropbox.com/s/rtwtd8nbl01ucz2/Inline%20CrimperB.jpg?dl=0
Yeah that's a real brain teaser, I'm thinkin a round device you place the bullet into a slot & turn a handle like a meat grinder. The crimp needs to be adjustable though. I've had a look @ a few vids trying to find how they're done in the factory, do you know of any?
@@stevohdee8118 At 5:40 there is a machine in the background that crimps them. It is a big wheel with a blade. They are forced against the wall as they are run through the wheel and the blade crimps the brass in...it also runs a cannelure impression in the lead to hold the lubricant. It doesn't show it well though. ua-cam.com/video/_rCZHG_eEak/v-deo.html This video shows a "roll sizer" which does a different thing BUT the 22lr crimper in the factories work on the very same principle. Only they have a blade which the brass rolls against. I also have a picture of the hand made crimper that was used by a guy named George Frost. Frost developed the conversion of rimfire from black powder to modern smokeless powder back before WWII. His hand held testing machine was similar to the "Casepro 100" which is shown in the Rollsizing video. www.dropbox.com/s/4azbozo867b2e6f/CrimperFrost.jpg?dl=0 My email address is hans.pcguy@gmail.com. If you would like to discuss this in a better format. I can link you to a copy of the book "Ammunition Making" By George Frost also. It is a remarkable book by a guy who built and equipped several ammunition factories around the world during his life.
For an additional little level of evil you should have turned the gravity lock's cap with a left handed thread. :)
Dam... Wish I'd thought of that !!

Thanks Matty
that "gravity lock".. is genius. 😲
Thankyou
I love it, amazing work!
Outstanding imagination and workmanship!
Good sense of humor too!
Does this work the same in the northern hemisphere?
Just a joke for down under!
Thanks Hans, only if you're facing west.. Hehe
wow Amazing engraving and machining !
Thanks

Amazing work!
One item that can resemble a cryptex but wouldn't be one is a Jefferson Wheel Cipher Machine!
Googled it, Thats rather interesting, thanks for your observation jeffrey, cheers
"And one (Not A) Cryptex to rule them all."
Nice piece. Very impressive engraving. 😎
You should've sent it to Chris Ramsay!
Hell yea, would have been a hoot hey?
