    Absolute genius. As an apprentice machinist I wouldnt even know where to start when building a mill/lathe!

      As a journeyman machinist, I ALSO would no clue where to start building something like this. I’d like to buy one tho!

    WOW! I know this is an older video but man you have some serious skills! The amount of knowledge in different skill sets is staggering. You have a vast wealth of knowledge my friend! Thankyou for showing us just a fraction of this knowledge and what can be accomplished with such skills…Such skills take a lifetime of learning and I do appreciate you sharing!

    This was hella impressive. I think my jaw dropped a bit at 10:30 when you switched from showing off your mechanical design skills, into PCB design. And all summed up in a 25 minute video. My man!

    I thoroughly enjoyed that video, I so long for a lathe and mill but prices have become ridiculous for even the most worn out beaten up old things so I am leaning towards building one myself and this video has been a great inspiration especially as I am minded to maybe create my own watches in the future.

    Awesome build! You have an impressive understanding of machining, electronics and programming along with a jaw dropping level of creativity. If you ever desire to increase the rigidity of your machines, I would look at using epoxy granite. It's far more rigid than traditional cast iron and much easier to work with.
