I have a sherline and this video blew my mind. I’ve seen the markings around the base but never figured you could turn the whole head. It’s almost like having a cross slide without having one!
I went back and watched the 3 part series of this tool. I don't know how I missed it. It was excellent! This is what I love about the clickspring clips channel.
After the shop tour I've started noticing the backgrounds in the wider shots, and realized that the tinyness of the shop was not as secret as I thought
Yes, I just enjoyed watching Chris make a bunch of pointed sticks (and I found myself wanting to know if he could sharpen pencils that way). And for the videos on this channel, I don't even watch them on 1.5x speed because I want them to last.
Always impressed how you get such precise work with a Sherline, that has little rigidity, when I have a hard time doing the same in a Minilathe, that is, somewhat, more rigid. It's the machinist :-)
They basically help you figure out the spacing of gears in a clock so you know how far apart the axle holes should be drilled. This process is called "depthing gears", since you are setting their depth of engagement with each other. You can theoretically do this with math, but the gears will never come out exactly matching their "ideal" dimensions, so this process allows you to figure out the proper spacing for the gears as they actually are, as opposed to what they theoretically should be.
They're part of the tool used in mechanical watch and clock making to accurately locate the various pinions and gears. Chris has a three part video series for the one he made on his full length channel; Part 1 is here: ua-cam.com/video/q6xovvpuMQo/v-deo.html A common design that used to be, perhaps still is, available commercially is seen here: ua-cam.com/video/HmaSMaBA88o/v-deo.html A larger home-made version is in this short clip: ua-cam.com/users/shortsH6XrxLghwnk
In my book Chris displays some of the best filming and editing skills on UA-cam
Not a machinist but enjoy coming here just to see and watch you Chris do everything with such ease and is really soothing too.

Yeah, I knew it was a small space, but when he did the 'shop tour' and revealed it's basically a broom closet, I was like "damn that's tiny!!"
You mean a compound (top) slide, I'm guessing? But it's better than that because you can turn tapers which are as long as the carriage travel.

..I've always been watching the videos a good 2 meters / 6 feet away from the screen to get the correct feel for how tiny the parts (and shop) are..
The clues were always there if only we bothered to look for them!
The only thing that Chris is better in than making things is recording it.
It's nice to see this again, thanks for posting.

That choice of music XD I thought someone was gonna look over my shoulder to see what I was watching.
Wow, great video, thanx!
Might be the most arm you’ve ever shown
What are the parts used for?
These are used with a clockmaker’s depthing tool. There is a video on the main Clickspring channel.

@@Beef4Dinner22 thank you
