"You lungs can hold a finite number of ball bearings and that number is zero" 😂 Came here machining, stayed for the humour. Brilliant work as ever, Quinn.
Agreed. I watch those guys, and Clickspring too... It's kinda strange sometimes that you can forget what scale they're working at. Clickspring sometimes looks the same as Abom, until Chris' finger shows up in the shot. But it's all real machining.
While it's cool to see those guys with the enormous machines do things that produce chips at a staggering rate, most of what I learned from UA-cam about machining comes from Blondihacks and This Old Tony.
Well in the realm of bad jokes, two guys walked into a bar, the third one ducked into the hole and went down the drain because the whole thing was a drain pipe.
Not only are you a real machinist, but you are also my favorite machinist. Which is saying something, since I also watch ToT and Inheritance Machining. You're the one that makes me feel like "Hey! I could probably learn how to do that!" because you make it seem so reasonable and understandable. (Followed up, of course, with "Holy crap, that's a ton of work! She must have the patience of a saint!")

I watch both of them as well, but Quinn is the one that makes it look accessible. I love that she shows her mistakes, and if possible, how to correct them. Of course, with anything, it's obvious that the most important part is practice, practice, practice.
If there's one thing this channel has taught me, it's that Kurtis isn't a real machinist - he doesn't yell "Yahtzee!" as he separates the eye off a D10 blade cylinder.
Quinn you should think about sending a few stickers to Kurtis at CEE, Karen showed the lathe needed more stickers in the last vid they did (maybe only made the Patreon cut) but would be awesome to see you guys do a sticker swap (will suggest to them to do likewise)!!
You're definitely a real machinist, Quinn. For the scale of work you do, I consider you second only to Chris. Yes, Chris from Clickspring, THAT Chris. And it's a CLOSE second, too!
Lots of great tshirt lines to confuse coworkers in this episode, such as "my lungs have finite space for ball bearings". Still need a "chamfers are what separate us from the animals" too
7:00 Jack Ryan: Has he made any Crazy Ivans? Capt. Bart Mancuso: What difference does that make? Jack Ryan: Because his next one is going to be to starboard.
6:57 Nice Red October reference! Gags like this are half the reason I watch. The other half is because you're a darn good machinist with lots of cool tricks up your sleeve.
Yes, the camera battery union is quite persuasive in their ability to successfully argue for their members. From the oldest NiCd to the youngest Li-ion, when they're done working, they're done. And if you push them to work 'just a little longer', you're going to pay handsomely in the future.
Any one who hates this channel can go pound sand. I'm a "real" machinist and I enjoy the hell out of the content. By the by I only consider myself a "real" machinist because I do it for a living and I have a budget for equipment. Other than that, machining is machining. Wonderful work as always Quinn, good on ya!
Ma’am, you almost made me snot MtnDew out my nose when you referenced Hunt for Red October! Vasili one ping, and one ping only! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the humor!
Brass I think is naval, as per your guess. It is essentially 360 w/o lead. As hard as stainless. Warning: using naval brass with a sander can cause temporary loss of mojo. Love your lighthearted humor Quinn. It really makes your work next level. Wonderful video - put my mojo right back on track. Trotsky!!
I *loved* seeing the tiny brass round cut-offs in your stock bin. There probably is such a thing as a bit of brass that is too small to keep, but I don’t think I’ve encountered one yet.
I'm sure you know this but... CEE recently posted a video where Kurtis admitted the most stressful step was tapping a small hole. I was thinking Quinn would do it in a walk. We all have our strengths.
Yh it very much put the scale of Kurtis's work that the thing that genuinely gave him anxiety was an M3 tap..... Patreon support of both Quinn and Kurtis (and Karen and Hommie of course) as they are both amazing people making making great content for our enjoyment.
I'm building a 2-8-2 mikado in 4¾"gauge. (Working on the hand pump as well). Your videos have been very helpful as a reference for me and several of the guys at our club. Thank you.
Pfft you're a machinist Quinn! And a great teacher too! I concur with others saying you're second only to Chris, I'd say tied with Stefan :) you're all awesome
As many said before me, you're a real machinist, don't think otherwise! And I really appreciated the shout-out for the laughing watchmakers, even though I wasn't laughing, it really isn't that small of a boring bar :)
Are you sure that unknown material is brass? given how hard it is, It could be a bronze. A manganese bronze is often that color. ....this is why archeologists say "copper alloy" there is so many alloys of copper it makes identification hard.
I didn't realize how much i missed hearing "....aaaaaaand Yahtzee!"🤩 The fulcrum isn't 'big & ugly', just a little 'over-engineered'.😂 Thanks for bringing us along!❤
Thanks for clarifying your method for when to use on hand materials that are over size. I was wondering if you have a process you use, but it turns out we use the same process "I don't want to leave the house, let's get this done". :)
Quinn. Love the channel. Really love the channel. Other than your personality, and the sense of humour, you are honest and show not only the engineering but also the learning process. That is true engineering. ❤ I have been watching a new channel "tinkering with tanks". They cold stitched an engine block in the last episode. Thought it might appeal. Looking forward to my next fix of Blondibacks. One of my must watch and do not disturb moments of the week. ❤
The naval brass thing makes so much sense. I've always had a soft spot for late 19th and early 20th century naval stuff in brass. Never realized that's probably somewhat of a different type of alloy but that makes a lot of sense. Forgotten Weapons has this video on a "pom-pom" gun that has a lot of brass parts and that thing just looks so neat, in spite of it being a terrible weapon of destruction.
The patina on that mystery-brass/bronze is absolutely gorgeous. I wish we knew what allow it is, because I'd use the heck out of that for decorative/architectural stuff.
That strange material might be some or other form of aluminium bronze. It looks like gold when polished up and some of the grades can be super tough to machine - sometimes tools seem to just bounce off the stuff. It is pretty resilient too. I have seen it used for valve seat inserts on an internal combustion engine and it stood up pretty well although lapping the valve and seat in was quite the pain in the butt. That process started off with fine valve grinding paste, went on to Brasso and finished with Silvo. I don't remember ever hearing if the gizmo they were trying to develop was a success or not. University engineering departments don't often publish failed attempts and experiments. Now that you are getting on to the mechanical "stuff" I think that things are going to get interesting. Thanks for the video Quinn
There's no need to compare yourself to Adam Boothe or Curtis, since each and every one of you work on a different part and scale of the same field; Curtis is usually on large jobs, Adam on a mixed range of jobs, and you work on the finer range, which includes smaller precision parts, hobby projects and the like. I enjoy seeing what all three of you do because everything is interesting and fun to watch in its own way 🤗
Great video as always Quinn. I wonder if that really hard 'brass' you have is actually aluminum bronze- it's very yellow-gold and VERY hard stuff. Some of its alloys have iron and nickel in them as well as the aluminum. When I have to cut an ingot of the stuff for casting, I don't even bother with a bandsaw because it takes forever and even an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel rated for stainless steel takes a while...
I gained enlightenment from the pipe is a bar with a hole in it analogy and the number of allowable lung ball bearings. And I'm glad you conjured your inner Sean Connery and had a Red October.
Blondihacks is easily my favorite channel, I’ve loved every video in this series since the beginning. The tender is looking fantastic and I can’t wait to see the rest of the build
Top candidates for that hard brass seem to be Phosphor Bronze, Manganese Bronze, and Aluminum Bronze. Aged Phosphor Bronze seems to have that more grey color.
This is so impressive. This project is getting really exciting now you are getting to the mechanicals. Very much looking forward to seeing the pump in action
"You lungs can hold a finite number of ball bearings and that number is zero" 😂 Came here machining, stayed for the humour. Brilliant work as ever, Quinn.
Who says we can't take medical advice from UA-cam!
Quinn, I watch those other guys too, but you don’t have to cosplay. You are a real machinist.
Joe Pie would disagree, but he's wrong.
Lots of the "real" machinists struggle with small so id say you're one-upping them
Agreed. I watch those guys, and Clickspring too... It's kinda strange sometimes that you can forget what scale they're working at. Clickspring sometimes looks the same as Abom, until Chris' finger shows up in the shot. But it's all real machining.
I agree, all three are machinists, the only difference is scale and degree of precision, Quinn's smaller scale projects require a LOT more precision!
While it's cool to see those guys with the enormous machines do things that produce chips at a staggering rate, most of what I learned from UA-cam about machining comes from Blondihacks and This Old Tony.
'Machinists die in large buildings full of tools.'
Possibly your best line ever.
True, look at Mr Pete.
"The difference between a bar and a pipe is the hole down the middle" - Quinn
And the outside diameter is larger than the inside diameter.
A man walks into a bar. Ouch, it was … oh no, it's fine, he went through a hole in the middle. Must've been a pipe.
Well in the realm of bad jokes, two guys walked into a bar, the third one ducked into the hole and went down the drain because the whole thing was a drain pipe.
That brass came from the sailboat made back in the 30's, glad you could use it.
I thought she was joking and it was steel. Similar to her OAK joke. I didn’t realize she was serious until seeing the patina removed.
That 'patina' might be a nickel/cadmium plating. I think that is used, or at least was, for plating brass for marine applications.
Cadmium is one nasty customer. Do you think the danger of inhaling particulates would be negated by it being in an alloy?
@@donfoster1832honsestly, if you’re inhaling brass shavings, I’m not sure a little nickel/cadmium on the ends of it is your biggest problem.
There's a thing called "full hard brass" that has more zinc, which makes it extra tough. Not sure that's what this was, but could be.
Glad to hear Quinn is running a union shop!
👊
The Hunt for Red October - "One ping only"
Quinn does come up with some good
ones!
steve
Any day I hear a Hunt for Red October reference is a good day.
i made the mistake of picking up that book one afternoon. was not able to put it down until i finished it in the wee hours of the morning. SO good.
Better than Baldwin's later movie where there was one Bang only.
Some of the things in this machine shop don't react well to bullets!

Him yelling about the ice cream guy showing up and running off mid-shot was pretty A+ machinist behavior......
ugh, i gave my thumbs-up in the bottom half of the hour and then you go and make a hunt for red october reference and i have nothing left to give
I have an old pipefitters' "guide" which states: A pipe is a long hole surrounded by some other stuff; maybe metal, clay, or wood.
Sounds almost like a religious statement, that being that the space is holy and the rest is just common.
@@samuraidriver4x4But what about the part that isn't whole?
Quinn you should think about sending a few stickers to Kurtis at CEE, Karen showed the lathe needed more stickers in the last vid they did (maybe only made the Patreon cut) but would be awesome to see you guys do a sticker swap (will suggest to them to do likewise)!!
Yes yes yes! 2:20 - Kurtis gets my vote, though both are cool in their ways. :)
We would LOVE a Blondihacks sticker for our lathe! 😍 And can definitely send a CEE sticker to Quinn if she'd like one 😄👍
@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Yay! I'll email you :D
Man, you absolutely nailed my Favorite UA-cam Machinist cosplay! That's one helluva Quinn Dunki getup!
Red October references are always in good taste.
Has Quinn always wanted to have seen Montana?
I grew up in montana, unfortunately I was unable to marry a plump wife and raise rabbits. Truly a worthy goal
@@thecrowcook I thought dental floss was the preferred crop.
@@thecrowcookSounds nice till the slaughter of the bunnies
That Hunt for Red October joke got me laughing WAY harder than it had any right to.
Loved the Red October reference. :D
You're definitely a real machinist, Quinn. For the scale of work you do, I consider you second only to Chris.
Yes, Chris from Clickspring, THAT Chris. And it's a CLOSE second, too!
It’s an honour to be mentioned in the same sentence as him. ☺️
Agree, but where is he? Since his Antikithera series, he practically disappeared …
@@Stefan_Van_pellicomthe ancient Greeks got him
To be fair Chris is one of those watch makers who would allegedly be laughing at her smallest boring bar.😂
@MyTubeSVp he's been busy time traveling
Lots of great tshirt lines to confuse coworkers in this episode, such as "my lungs have finite space for ball bearings". Still need a "chamfers are what separate us from the animals" too
Ah-hA!!! A Kurtis watcher.... Very skilled young man. OHHH Quinn, you ARE a real machinist, don't belittle your skills.
7:00 Jack Ryan:
Has he made any Crazy Ivans?
Capt. Bart Mancuso:
What difference does that make?
Jack Ryan:
Because his next one is going to be to starboard.
Yes I am defecting, 😂, "one ping and one ping only" The Hunt for Red October is one of my favorite Sean Connery movies.
6:57 Nice Red October reference! Gags like this are half the reason I watch. The other half is because you're a darn good machinist with lots of cool tricks up your sleeve.

Damn the camera battery Union being scared of a fully functional water pump. One day we'll show them exactly what this station is capable of.
You should cosplay Quinn Dunki some time... she's awesome

For small projects, you’re a master. For the ‘larger’ projects, Kurtis wins.
Hunt For Red October.. A very good movie.
Ma’am, you almost made me snot MtnDew out my nose when you referenced Hunt for Red October! Vasili one ping, and one ping only! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you for the humor!
I think function can never be ugly, only decoration takes that risk…❤
I was just musing that this channel really couldn't get any better...and then Quinn drops a "Hunt for Red October" reference. Perfection.
Brass I think is naval, as per your guess. It is essentially 360 w/o lead. As hard as stainless. Warning: using naval brass with a sander can cause temporary loss of mojo. Love your lighthearted humor Quinn. It really makes your work next level. Wonderful video - put my mojo right back on track. Trotsky!!
that's SO cool. a (what will be) functioning water pump - ALL from the scrap bin! neat!
Enjoyed all the CEE references! Incredible work as always, QD!
That is one complicated little part. Well done, all the way through, and I love your signature humor throughout the video.
I *loved* seeing the tiny brass round cut-offs in your stock bin. There probably is such a thing as a bit of brass that is too small to keep, but I don’t think I’ve encountered one yet.
and At that point I grab the $100 knife forge, a chunk of pipe as a mold, and turn it back into bars.
And sometimes if I want aluminum bronze, thats when!
Silver soldering is *SO* satisfying when it goes right. Thank you for introducing me to this valuable (and rewarding) skill.
I'm sure you know this but... CEE recently posted a video where Kurtis admitted the most stressful step was tapping a small hole. I was thinking Quinn would do it in a walk. We all have our strengths.

Patreon support of both Quinn and Kurtis (and Karen and Hommie of course) as they are both amazing people making making great content for our enjoyment.
In his defence that was a very tough steel he was tapping too. 😄
LOL! Have to admit I was worried we would see that shocked look on your face as you ingested a ball bearing. Glad it all worked out fine!
Loved the 'one ping only' bit :D
I'm building a 2-8-2 mikado in 4¾"gauge. (Working on the hand pump as well). Your videos have been very helpful as a reference for me and several of the guys at our club. Thank you.
Half way there... We'll make it I swear! Oh wait... is that Bon Jovi song STILL stuck in my head?
I’ve had that song stuck in my head for 38 years so you’re not alone.
Best. Song. Ever. It can live in my head rent free for as long as it likes :D
yay Hunt for Red October reference!
You’re the real-deal machinist Quinn❤
Pfft you're a machinist Quinn! And a great teacher too! I concur with others saying you're second only to Chris, I'd say tied with Stefan :) you're all awesome
I appreciate the kindness but I won’t stand here and let anyone call me equal to Stefan 😄 I aspire to be half the machinist he is. ☺️☺️
Is it too much? I binged this playlist in 2½ days.
'One ping only' My favourite Scottish Russian.
As many said before me, you're a real machinist, don't think otherwise! And I really appreciated the shout-out for the laughing watchmakers, even though I wasn't laughing, it really isn't that small of a boring bar :)
Are you sure that unknown material is brass? given how hard it is, It could be a bronze. A manganese bronze is often that color. ....this is why archeologists say "copper alloy" there is so many alloys of copper it makes identification hard.
Those big cuts hurt when you know the price of brass
So very, very, very, very, very true. That material would have been a great one to do a video on deep aspect trepanning. How far down can you go.
That's why I regularly smelt down the contents of my scrap brass box and cast bar stock from it.
@@Nemozoli that sounds fun!
Ey, hunt for red October reference!
I didn't realize how much i missed hearing "....aaaaaaand Yahtzee!"🤩
The fulcrum isn't 'big & ugly', just a little 'over-engineered'.😂
Thanks for bringing us along!❤
Yay d-bit grinder in action!
And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Thanks Quinn, helps a lot!
As an amateur (and quite inexperienced) woodworker, I loved the mortice and tenon reference 😂
Thanks for clarifying your method for when to use on hand materials that are over size. I was wondering if you have a process you use, but it turns out we use the same process "I don't want to leave the house, let's get this done". :)
Came to the comments to say the Quinn is the UA-cam machinist I’d cosplay as and to congratulate the Red October line.
Everyone else beat me to it!

What an awesome part of this project. Your humbleness is inspiring Quinn. Thanks again!
The patina on that mystery-brass/bronze is absolutely gorgeous. I wish we knew what allow it is, because I'd use the heck out of that for decorative/architectural stuff.
Always watch for the technical explanations 😉
Oh man that ball bearings in the lungs had me in stitches...
As always, you deliver on all fronts!
Keep up the good work, and keep mixing it with the humour as you always do 👍
Phew I nearly ran out of breath on that first aaaaannnd Yahtzeee! great Job Quinn
Can’t wait for part two! Thank you
You may not have Kurtis' or Adam's machine shops, but you have all the pretty. Thanks for the video.

Nice work on the pump body, Quinn! There's a lot of fabrication steps in that part. Well done!
wow This Old Tony finally turned the lights on in the shop! haha
The wordplay was awesome today.
Great video as always Quinn. I wonder if that really hard 'brass' you have is actually aluminum bronze- it's very yellow-gold and VERY hard stuff. Some of its alloys have iron and nickel in them as well as the aluminum. When I have to cut an ingot of the stuff for casting, I don't even bother with a bandsaw because it takes forever and even an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel rated for stainless steel takes a while...
As long as it doesn't have beryllium!
Can confirm that it does make _gorgeous_ machined surfaces, though. I don't like brass surface finishes anymore.
Nice reference Red!
I gained enlightenment from the pipe is a bar with a hole in it analogy and the number of allowable lung ball bearings. And I'm glad you conjured your inner Sean Connery and had a Red October.
Blondihacks is easily my favorite channel, I’ve loved every video in this series since the beginning. The tender is looking fantastic and I can’t wait to see the rest of the build
Top candidates for that hard brass seem to be Phosphor Bronze, Manganese Bronze, and Aluminum Bronze. Aged Phosphor Bronze seems to have that more grey color.
Maybe nickel silver?
This is so impressive. This project is getting really exciting now you are getting to the mechanicals. Very much looking forward to seeing the pump in action
Thanx for the new definition of "etc."
Great video Quinn, looking forward to the rest of the pump.
That mystery bronze might be a Toughmet flavor of some kind.
Union is making you stop? By any chance, is the union leader small, furry, cute, and has a long tail? Answers to Sprocket?
