Another great Video, Joe Pie! Thank You for putting these together. I love the run the lathe in reverse, threading tool inverted technique. It's my "go to" method ever since I watched your video. Thanks again, and please ignore the trolls. Anyone that gives a thumbs down to your video's is just being an A-hole. This is going to be a GEM of a model when you are finished.
With your tweezers, slip some tubing over them that is big enough that you can slide it up and down to open and close your tweezers, that way you can hold small pieces with constant pressure and the tubing keeps the tweezers closed so you can focus on positioning rather than keeping the tweezers closed. I can't want to see a banjo wrench for the tailstock! That'd be really cool, or just a spanner. You should make some tiny wrenches in a tool set for the lathe, maybe even change gears and put it all in a tiny tool box!
Hey Mr Pie I reckon you could make a tiny socket head spanner for the tailstock locking nuts out of 2-26 allen cap head or grub screw if you anneal it and turn the handle the same as the one you did for the tailstock quill feed but scaled down a bit It could also help create a spotface for locknuts with a little gentle you know what All love to you and yours x
I'm really enjoying this project. Although I'm no machinist, I really like your explanations, hints and tips. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. Best wishes from across the pond
I used to work at Avery Degrave in the late 60s hand turning two part 5gm weights in stainless. Working on scientific scales that where accurate to 5decimals of a gm the smallest screw i remember making was 28BA UK based your work brings back so many memories thanks would have loved to have had the technology available today then
Nicely done! A little double sided tape on a flat blade screwdriver, small rule, popsicle stick, any thing similar can hold the opposite face of a nut you are trying to run a tiny threaded fastener into. Even a bit wrapped around a finger tip can do the trick. Clock and watch guys get real creative with small hardware :-)
So glad I didn't have to wait a week for another episode. My wife thinks I'm crazy because "nothing from Joe Pie this week". The confidence you have in your ability just make me stay out of my shed as I'm a beginner machinist and too scared to break things or waste materials.
Take it from a beginner machinist, it comes with the territory and doesn't get better till you get the "oops" out of your system. But then again, legend has that even tot screws things up occasionally :)
'Think I'd bypass the clamping block design - & make it a lever lock with a cam !

112 deg F in Portland today. Never thought we would beat a Texas heat. Too hot today to do anything but catch up on missed videos in front of the fan. I am constantly amazed at how easy you make single-point threading look. I guess practice really does make perfect.
@@milantrcka121 The same way I did for the two the base mount pads under the cylinder block on my hit and miss engine . I modified the seat cutter of an old kitchen tap seat cutting tool , these have a threaded hole in the centre so made a threaded mandrel up then turned the cutter OD to the required diameter and fed the mandrel in from the bottom of the block then screwed the cutter on and cut the spot face - had to run the mill backwards so the cutter would cut and put a pin through the mandrel behind the cutter so it didn’t unscrew itself from the mandrel . Was it worth the hassle - probably not but I proved to myself it could be done . Have a look around on UA-cam for back spot facing . One way I can think of doing something that small is to make a mandrel the same diameter as the holes with a thread on the end then cut a slot in the threaded end longitudinally with a hacksaw , make a thin blade up from a piece of hacksaw blade and this sits in the slot you just cut and is clamped in by a nut threaded on the end of the mandrel . Feed the mandrel in from the bottom , slip the blade in the slot and adjust it so it is centralised and screw the nut on and tighten it down onto the blade - probably best to do by hand with a tee handle to turn the mandrel as you are only scraping away a bit of aluminium .
Excellent again.Yes,since we have the lathe,we have the "barbie"(and the DRO )now Joe,you are bound to take a trip to the bottom of the river Rhine and talk to the Nibelungs and ask them to forge the tools for the lathe and we are allset.Thank you.
Great video Joe. I have been looking for a holder and inserts for +-2mm threads, can you please share what you use? Thanks. I have been turning them but the quality could improve with proper tooling. There are not many left hand tools that I have found.
Looks great Joe, I can hardly wait until you get p'd off enough to spot face the bolt seat. Enjoyed, cheers! Actually single pointing the thread was totally cool!
Okay Joe, you convinced me to buy one of these kits. I have it here on my desk. Now to get up the courage to start machining. Those 0-80 set screws, they are intimidating! Thanks for sharing. Ken
When I was a kid, my dad got some "finger wrenches". They were all the smaller sizes starting with 1/4" and smaller to 1/8" (across the flats) or smaller... They would fit on the end of your finger and had the Hex extended out about 1/4 or more in front of the finger.. made out of plated steel. That is a place where they would have been handy.
Nice to be able to see 'lessons learned' in action...turning down the minimum length needed to do the threading, so that you have as much material as possible to work from, and the 'upside-down tool, reversed direction' threading technique...
You need a reverse counter bore to get a flat surface for the fasteners. We use them all the time for 1/8" fasteners on aircraft. Smaller would be a custom cutter but I am sure you would make light work of it.
Hi Joe, Very nice work. Loving how you make the parts. So small. Go on, make a tail stock locking arm on that back nut hehe Keep up the good work Regards, Paul
Instead of nuts on the top how about two turnable handles so, all you have to do is just flip a handle and it tightens. Again, very nice work on the threading; I kind of thought that you might have had a fixture for a high-speed NSK or Precise company die grinder and grind those small threads.
I wanted to say"no! No! Not without a washer". A dab of Loctite on the screw heads once you've got them located would ease re-assembly. Yes/no? Thanks Joe for another class on small stuff.
As I'm watching you tweezer those nuts on, I'm thinking "tiny wrenches & chuck keys in 3... 2... 1...". Sure enough, you say "I can see a wrench in my future!" Great job as always, and thanks for sharing in spite of the heat wave.
Aloha Joe My first thought was your video on turning small diameters with one pass. I was somewhat disappointed you didn't check the threads with the three wire method to ensure standards 😏🤣 Now for the 12 point box wrench for the nuts... Thanks for sharing, I wish you had done this build before I made mine, I have learned a few things Mahalo Nui
Bummer. Lol. I was hoping for a norther trig class. I enjoy learning when you teach Joe. Not that single point threading small bolts isn't cool too! Thanks for the video!
@@joepie221 I made some tiny Armstrong style bent handle socket wrenches for a model. I used some long 10-32 socket capscrews as they had the right sized hex. I profile turned the heads and shanks to the the dimensions that looked right and then heated and bent the shanks at 90* just under the head. They looked and function just like the real thing, including being able to strip the threads in the nuts they were tightening :D
Super job Joe. I don't know how many tiny parts I have shot into never never land when you hear the tweezers go CLICK. My old eyes struggle with my HO train parts. Can't wait to see chips off that machine. You gonna flame harden the bed way? Is there a Kasenit video in the future? LOL.
I can finally say to someone that my lathe is bigger! lol. Seriously, I can't wait to see this beauty complete. It's probably going to be more accurate than my lil Sherline.
Hi Joe, I would have thought you need a small lathe to single point 2-56 threads. Thanks for enlightening me. A Craftsman Ignition combination wrench set has 3/16 - 5/32 and 5/32 - 3/16 open - closed wrenches. Should work for those nuts, unless you made them 1/8". :-) You and the family stay safe.
Saw a video today where someone took a cap screw, welded it to a flat bar at the head, cut off the shaft and ground down the stub until the hex appeared. He now had a small hex wrench. Idea Joe or do you plan to broach one.
Very nice Joe. I checked out PMR the other day & saw their machinery room model - Have you thought about expanding this collection the same way they have on their web page? With the line shafting and a mini steam engine, it'd be really cool. Stay safe and well :)
Nicely done Joe. I’d probably leave it like it is but I can see square headed nuts with wrench. If you go through the trouble of that, why not a double thread for ease of use? You do a beautiful job on everything. Thanks for sharing
Another amazing part Joe. When the lathe is finished next project tool board full of special tools for the lathe😍. Question, old machines have nuts that are higher than normal nuts, do they have a special name and have they a certain ratio for that hight?

No joke: I’d love to see how you approach making a wrench for those nuts! I love every minute of this series.
Was going to say the same thing!
Me too. Don't thing you can get one from snap-on that small
Yup! Looks like about a 3/32 wrench is needed! And a proper one at that, full on scale replica of a typical 1" wrench.

Sure makes the case for sharp and well-ground tooling! You made the nuts too - heck - you have the patience of a saint! More nice work Joe, :)
Really cool Joe. Sure would like to see the footage of the boring and single point ID threading on those nuts though. 😆🤣😂

Paul,,
Thats a great idea.
@@joepie221 especially the calipers, mica, and tooling!
Joe, could you make a tiny back spot face tool for the nuts to seat on? I'm sure you could but I guess it's one of those cost/benefit things.
Mark, even with a standard spotface tool, do you have a trick how to do that for the middle hole? I do not see a good way...
Perhaps save time and just file the spots?
@@robertoswalt319 That'll work but it will not look right. IMHO washers are the way to go.
I had the same thought.

I so want to try my hand at this, but I am so new to machining I would totally Bork it . maybe in a few years
its Ok to fail. I guarantee you'll be a better machinist when you get to the end of a project like this. Go for it.
Great video as usual. Even simple parts like this are interesting and useful.
Gotta say, though - awesome design ergonomics with those nuts 🙂.

Okay tweezers will work, nice work
Nice one Joe. Now, about that spanner ... 😉
Cheers.
Thanks for the video Joe.
Thanks Joe.
I find "reverse tweezers" awesome for this sort of small part. That entire mechanism for tightening the tailstock would drive me nuts though.
Suturing tweezers. Found mine in an Army field Medic kit from a surplus store in the late seventies. ⛑
Can I make a suggestion that you put an “x” on the table so that you can position your camera and the job so that you do not go out of frame
A boundary marker is a good idea.
68 and raining in Oregon, nice.
Haha! I guess the next video will be, "Let's fabricate a tiny wrench"
Hi Joe, Yes you will have to make a full set of wrenches and chuck keys for this fine machine.
Oh yes!
Great video on making small parts. I wonder why they have 2 bolts though. I only have one on either my Atlas 10 or Myford ML7.

The accuracy achieved is amazing.
You can do it by eye as you are using an eyecrometer were as mere mortals just guess! Good job.
Great video. I appreciate the tip of threading in reverse. The idea of crashing into the part while threading intimidated me. No more.
Glad it was helpful! i don't do it any other way.

Incredible work Joe.
Great micro-machining! Your fingers are huge compared to those parts! Enjoyed watching thank you
are you going to scrape it in ? so small!
You could always file in a flat spot for the nuts on the tail stock. I'm sure you could figure out a way to file parallel too.
Joe, just getting practice for finishing Chris’s Antikythera mechanism 😃👍🏴
I'd be honored to be asked to participate on that project.
Moody Tools make nice miniature wrenches, but I'm guessing you will make a wrench.
