This video is the perfect example of why I love machining videos, I just wish every machining channel on youtube took the time and effort to achieve the level of cinematography that you've accomplished here. Well done
There are 2 types of machinist content on youtube-ones that make theatrical entertaining videos and the ones that make boring videos full of knowledge. Plenty of people that watch all kinds of diy videos but they will never do any of them on their own.They watch it out of boredom.And then there are minorty of people that watch specific video on subject to help them in their work.For example how to make pipe reduction or bend a pipe correctly. Mechamozg and joe polishlastnameicantwrite make knowledge videos ,clickspring makes typical entertaining moneyshot videos.
If ever UA-cam machining video had this level of cinematography, there wouldn't be so much information and knowledge on UA-cam from Master machinist. These types of machining videos obviously take weeks of filming and editing to get put out. The people that just want to see milling machines cut metal, and lathes turn off chips, are just hipsters that want to watch "oddly satisfying machining videos." Most machining content is for Machinists who are trying to learn. It's not for hipsters to watch so they can feel like they're connected to the trades, act like they know about actual work, and act like they know about machining because they watched a few UA-cam videos. This style of videos are strictly for entertainment, not education.

That was mesmerizing. I'm glad you chose it for the 8 Ball. It needed a worthy stand and you created one. When you showed those marks before, you said they would make sense and, wow, did they ever. Thanks, MM. That was fabulous.
I'm definitely going to try something similar on my homemade wood lathe. It's definitely not powerful enough for metal but this gave me an idea nothing obviously as fine or small as this but something creative
2:27 Kind of cool to stare at that one disc that’s basically stationary in the middle when rotating. But I would really love to see the math behind this. This could make for a very cool candle-holder
It's just geometrical. Keep watching the video, think about everything, and you'll figure it out. Otherwise, show this to any trig math teacher who can explain sine waves. Or study sine waves yourself.
As engineering students, we learnt the beauty of lathe machining - it is a great art - and society is indebted to men behind these machines who made our lives easier.
I've been in engineering for 40 years and this is the exact reason why I love the trade so much,the possibilities are endless,absolutely love this,we'll done for thinking outside the box,I must have a go at this myself in my shop after everybody goes home for the day
Thanks for a great learning experience with no obnoxious music, long boring and unnecessary details. The video showed all that is need to do this project. Excellent! I never thought of setting the 3 jaw like that.
I'd humbly state that there's nothing wrong with a 3 jaw chuck, imo. They hold on to pretty much anything (small, large, wide and the long materials), if set up correctly... as far as i've seen. Not that i've seen or used anything But the 3 jaw chuck, but that's...beside the point, right? 😇😅
I was wracking my brain thinking how on earth you'd do that on a lathe... And once I saw it, it was so obvious I thought how did I not think of this?! Really cool...
I have a friend who's been doing machining for some 45+ years. He has his own shop and all. You're the second person I've seen making this kind of part. I saw him making an almost similar part for a cargo ship. The captain of the ship thought it had to be done by molding but my friend told him he can cut the piece from a chunk of metal. After seeing the part the guy's jaw was dropped. This was around 30 years ago. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
This is funny and entertaining to watch. Now I'm retired, but I worked 43 years in a metal workshop milling, turning, boring, welding and so on. First 10 years with manual machines and then with CNC and CAD/CAM. I think metal working (same as woodwork) is a bit underrated profession in these days. I was always excited of my work.
I could see a really cool desk lamp being made using this method on a larger stock piece, maybe cutting a pocket out on the end pieces for electronics, etc. This is awesome!
I was most impressed with this offset metal turning video. I decided to use the technique using 42 mm diam. Aluminium. I modified the ends (since I'm not a billiard player or golfer) putting a fancy knob on top and knurling the base. The result was vey pleasing and makes a nice ornament/ talking point in my home.
I am a medical doctor and watch CNC videos sometimes for a change as it fascinates me. This was one of the most interesting video I have ever seen. Short, Smart, and Sweet.
This has already been watched over 10000 times, although it has not yet been here for an hour! Thank you for great content My Mechanics. 👍 Since I started to follow these videos I have bought a lathe of my own.
*I've been a Journeyman Machinist most of my adult life. (I'm almost 62)..I didn't even know you could do this on a lathe.. I wish I had the words to express how cool this is...I'm just not that smart...Incredible is the best I can come up with*
A fascinating way to show the relationship between rotational motion on a circle and the sinusoidal functions. By offsetting each cut, you've essentially just taken a "value" of sine/cosine at that degree mark. It gives you a discrete sine function shape across the piece, that when viewed from the top or bottom, has also encoded the angle that the cut was performed at. Terrific machinist skills showing an elegant mathematical relationship!
When I see things like this I am reminded of the videos of the FORD auto factory(and others) where they show all of the automated machining and assembly processes from the days of the 1932 FORD/etc. My thought always is....WHO THOUGHT OF THAT? These days of CNC are amazing, however I marvel more at the old days of manual machines and the way they were applied. CNC is amazing and modern factories are by no means easy to design but the old videos amaze me to no end.....remember - 100 years ago!!!

@@hankkingsley9183 Oh, that I can understand, thanks a lot for the explanation 😊 Curiously enough, "I am without words" is more or less literally what we say in Spanish, but to me it sounded worse than "wordless". Always learning, I suppose! Thanks again!
Wow. This takes experience, knowing what your machine is capable of, plus a ton of practical knowledge (ie the whole setting up with height gauges and making marks to know to turn the part 20 degrees each time) to achieve. I’m fresh out of trade school and Ive realized there is so much that you don’t learn in trade school. I’m at a small job shop trying to learn every little bit I can and like uploading time lapses of what I’m working on, but this is next level

I completely relate to your experience - trade school provides a great foundation, but there's so much more to learn on the job. Keep pushing yourself and sharing your progress; it's inspiring to see others grow in their craft
It's so mesmerizing and yet simple - after you've shown the method - it just makes me smile. In the same way as when you see a magician pull a really cool trick. Thanks man. That really entertained and impressed me. 😎

When you hear people say, "Wow, who thinks of these things??", the answer is people like MyMechanics. I love it when math is used to make something beautiful like this. The beauty of science. This pedestal and 8-ball would be great to put where you meet with potential clients so when they ask how good your work is, you just say "I made those."
@@Dead_Goat What's your problem? I am seriously not in the mood for stupid replies like this. I see the beauty of the math that explains shapes and patterns like this. No math? Did he just flip on the lathe and it was magically on exactly the right settings? F off.
I am fascinated by 15th century ivory turnings and I have never been able to understand how they made staggered turnings like this. Now I know. Amazing.
I do love your lathe work, always coming up with some really great designs. Just thinking out loud but two of these could be made into a single double helix… that’d be seriously cool!
Could you make two identical copies then slice off opposite halves of the disks at each end to make them both semicircular and out of phase with each other. Then interlace the two parts and bond it together at both ends. The single helix is pretty spectacular.
Ive been a Machinest for 20 yrs approximately, Went from All manuel to Pure Automated. Well watched my Company Literally Replace every Manuel Machine in the last 5 years. Now we have All new Mazaks, Nigatas, Shibauras, Toshibas Tue’s, Megaturns. We kept like 1 Bridgeport, And A couple bridgeport heads for custom Work. But this has to be the most fascinating thing ive ever seen. Ive seen some badass stuff made By old Machinests. This is dope
I didn't even know you could do that with a lathe. That's so cool. It looks like some kind of science trophy lol. Watching it spin in the lathe jaws was almost hypnotic. Very unusual. I love it.
Making two of these that interlock together to make a double helix would be really interesting to see and probably an equally exciting mathematical engineering challenge.
That was so cool and I am thankful for the work you put into it. I was wondering where the 8 ball was, then, there it is!. I don't have a stand, I make a new one. Very original. Thank you.
Since I've watched everything you had posted on this channel and the second one :D I really have to ask.. there is something you can't do !? :D You are one of a kind sir ...
I had never thought of off setting the jaws themselves. That is one thing I love about metal working, there are so many interesting techniques to learn.
Rotating off centre like that, it must be a beastly strong lathe to not just fly apart. I guess that's why you kept the rpm down. Does the hammering of the tool create a series of facets, or are they gradually smoothed to near circular by running for a while?
If the hunk of metal were to be a bullet, I’d say it looks like a 30mm shell, which is commonly used in CIWS and CRAM. If you decide to look up a photo of one of them firing, just know only a third of those bullets it fires have tracers.
I worked in a couple labs after I graduated from college, one of the cool skills I picked up at one of the labs was a Machine Shop certification. And I can't believe how much fun I had when I was in the machine shop with a lathe.
I never knew that the Jaws could be rearranged like that on a lathe.... Thank you for showing me this it was an educational experience thank you so much
I love the sine wave pattern that happens when you spin it. You're actually mathematically creating it since at every step you offset by a bit on a circle to create it which is how a sine wave is created in math.
It is amazing what these machines can do in the hands of an artist! I learned something new about the lathe today also! Brilliant and simple way of execution!
Brilliant mate! I've been using manual machines for R&D laboratory work that are often 'make-it-up-as-you-go' jobs since the mid 70's and I've never thought of this. I guess you could use a 4 jaw independent, but you'd probably lose some accuracy after a few indexing turns as two jaws would have to be loosened. At least a 3 jaw always returns to the same position.
That has got to be one of the coolest “because I can” pieces ever made!

@@Dead_Goat Scribing 18 lines, every 20deg. Yep no math in this at all, it's all magic numbers that just work, right?
@@ducewags its common sense. Marking lines or turning things is not maths.
beauty of nature. Science is not even a thing.
I am fascinated by 15th century ivory turnings and I have never been able to understand how they made staggered turnings like this. Now I know. Amazing.
I do love your lathe work, always coming up with some really great designs. Just thinking out loud but two of these could be made into a single double helix… that’d be seriously cool!
Yeah indeed, but that might be a two parter
@@mymechanicsinsights Two parter, double helix. :D
@@mymechanicsinsights for sure it’d be a two parter but if anyone can make it look like it was just one… that’d be you for sure.
Could you make two identical copies then slice off opposite halves of the disks at each end to make them both semicircular and out of phase with each other. Then interlace the two parts and bond it together at both ends.
The single helix is pretty spectacular.
You are not only unbelievably skillful engineer, but also a great artist

@@lotarzi1 ممنونم بابت توضیح شما
2:18 *This video shows exactly why I love machining content. I wish more channels had your level of cinematography and effort. Great job*
Love you work sir❤️.
Its just awesome and addictive.
Thanks :-)
OMG the coolest project i have ever seen!!! Spectacular 🤯🤯
Glad you think so :-)
Ive been a Machinest for 20 yrs approximately, Went from All manuel to Pure Automated. Well watched my Company Literally Replace every Manuel Machine in the last 5 years. Now we have All new Mazaks, Nigatas, Shibauras, Toshibas Tue’s, Megaturns. We kept like 1 Bridgeport, And A couple bridgeport heads for custom Work. But this has to be the most fascinating thing ive ever seen. Ive seen some badass stuff made By old Machinests. This is dope
Wow, now that is what I call exceptional lathe work. Never seen that done before. Cheers dude
Thank you very much :-)
You're incredibly talented
Many thanks :-)
I didn't even know you could do that with a lathe. That's so cool. It looks like some kind of science trophy lol. Watching it spin in the lathe jaws was almost hypnotic. Very unusual. I love it.
Как легко получается то, что продумано и выверено с математической точностью. Это завораживает.
Да уж, так легко-легко. Легче лёгкого. Раз плюнуть. Про завораживает соглашусь.
Это, что-то нереальное.
I feel like this would make a good "windmill" (wind chime* , thanks "murk 135") type thing attached near a window with a string. Very cool project.
Did you mean wind chime???
@@murk1352 yes sorry lol. Thanks
@@TrophicFault I thought that’s what you meant…👍🏻
The efficiency of these machines is mind-blowing. Great content!
Looks like a miniature Formula 1 trophy. Very cool!!
It does!
That was incredibly satisfying to watch. How long did the filing sharp edges take though? 😅
10 seconds. Didn't you watch the video? 😝
Around 2.5 hours
@@mymechanicsinsights 😬
Beautiful job,a small tumbler,as used for jewellery,with stainless steel medium would give a magnificent finish.
I've dabbled in turning before but never have I ever thought of turning something off centre. I'm def going to try this. Cheers mate.
Making two of these that interlock together to make a double helix would be really interesting to see and probably an equally exciting mathematical engineering challenge.
I thought it looked like a DNA strand.🧬cool engineering traits unlocked.
It's not all that complex- make a similar helix, thread it in, make sure it's 180 degrees out of phase and you've got a double helix
That is really cool, I love it. You are so clever
Thanks so much 😊
This has got to be one of the most enlightening videos I've seen. Many thanks. Mind blowing, clever, innovative elegant thinking!!! 😊 Much respect!!!!
Simply amazing. I'm 934 years old and I've been make tools for 346 years and never seen something as incredible as this!! Very clever
That was so cool and I am thankful for the work you put into it. I was wondering where the 8 ball was, then, there it is!. I don't have a stand, I make a new one. Very original. Thank you.
Amazing work!!!
Thank you!
Fantastic looks amazing thanks
Hope you enjoy
This *turned out* to be great XD
Since I've watched everything you had posted on this channel and the second one :D I really have to ask.. there is something you can't do !? :D You are one of a kind sir ...
yes, welding ;-)
This is amazing, a true art
Thank you very much :-)
I had never thought of off setting the jaws themselves. That is one thing I love about metal working, there are so many interesting techniques to learn.
Yes, you don't think about a lot of simple stuff until you see online totally agree GODSPEED
How does this not break ?! that's amazing !
The trick is starting from right to left.
Rotating off centre like that, it must be a beastly strong lathe to not just fly apart. I guess that's why you kept the rpm down. Does the hammering of the tool create a series of facets, or are they gradually smoothed to near circular by running for a while?
Duh! Keep the RPM down and one hair getting caught in it won’t send you flying to minced shred like how at normal speed it would
This is what you're told not to do
And you did it in style
vunderbar
0:21 whatever gun is loaded with THAT i do not want to be near
It kind of looks like a shotgun shell for small artillery cannons.
If the hunk of metal were to be a bullet, I’d say it looks like a 30mm shell, which is commonly used in CIWS and CRAM. If you decide to look up a photo of one of them firing, just know only a third of those bullets it fires have tracers.
@1:30 : oh, right, duh .
I worked in a couple labs after I graduated from college, one of the cool skills I picked up at one of the labs was a Machine Shop certification. And I can't believe how much fun I had when I was in the machine shop with a lathe.
First. 😎
Almost!
But what does the part do?
I've been a turner for over 6 years and never seen this one before!! You're such a genius!!!
What a delightful bit of machining. Very nice work, simple in conception but very well executed.
I'm 120 and I've been manual machining these since 200 B.C. Fantastic work
incredible design. brilliantly thought out, and masterfully executed. my hats off to you for this beautiful piece of work
You really make iron play a symphony that pleases the eyes and the soul before hearing, well done
Yes VERY TOP notch work. A smart person is smart, A smart person with an imagination is unstoppable !!!!!
Beautiful work 👏👏👏
I never knew that the Jaws could be rearranged like that on a lathe.... Thank you for showing me this it was an educational experience thank you so much
I love the sine wave pattern that happens when you spin it. You're actually mathematically creating it since at every step you offset by a bit on a circle to create it which is how a sine wave is created in math.
I like many other comments here that have been machining for 40 plus years and I never saw this done. great work. I'm going to have to make one.
看到封面的第一眼还以为每车一个圆台阶就要重新调一次夹头偏心率，结果车的是螺旋状，只需要给材料转个角度就行了😆，属实是没想到👍
Isn't it great to see such beautiful and imaginative work. I can't keep from watching talent like this.
That strangely mesmerising.
Turned out great and simple enough to make. Well done..
I dont know anything about tools or this machine but thus mans mind is very creative and thinks beyond what he sees, very interesting
It is amazing what these machines can do in the hands of an artist! I learned something new about the lathe today also! Brilliant and simple way of execution!
This is Incredible. Using a standard lathe too and old school measuring,. Great Job!
Human Ingenuity will never cease to amaze me. Fantastic job.
What has happened to the machine tool industry in the USA is devastating. However, this was spectacular to watch. What a highly skilled individual.
Brilliant mate! I've been using manual machines for R&D laboratory work that are often 'make-it-up-as-you-go' jobs since the mid 70's and I've never thought of this. I guess you could use a 4 jaw independent, but you'd probably lose some accuracy after a few indexing turns as two jaws would have to be loosened. At least a 3 jaw always returns to the same position.
I'm Pattern maker and Turner 20 year's experience your video skills and smart work nice work
Wow this looks very intricate and the effect it has when spinning on the lathe is mesmerizing 😮
