Very nicely done. Great finished product. Yes there are a few things that could have been done differently but who hasn't gotten through, or almost through a project and then realized they could have done this or that a bit differently. Nice attention to detail. Noticed how everything came out flush, the head of the threaded rod, the nut on the underside , etc.. Really enjoyed seeing an 'old timer ', manual machinist doing some creative work. Well done and congrats to you on a very well done video.
Now these are the videos I like no music just the sound of the machines cutting beautiful lol I’m a new subscriber and I’m going to enjoy the rest of your videos thanks for the hard graft you put in all the best god bless
Such a good idea, I am going to steal it. As a newbie, I doubt if I could accomplish anything near the same level of craftmanship. But that is another good goal for me. .
Great project as well as result/workmanship. Been thinking about making a stop for some time and now having seen this type has given me more (better) ideas for the project. Thanks for sharing and hello from Australia, John.
Greetings from California🇺🇸. Bravo, Master Machinist. What a wonderful workmanship, you got there. Great jobs, great precision, great accuracy, great patience, great concentration and great silence. I’m deeply sorry for the T shirt, though !😂 Thanks for the demonstration.
Very nice idea brother. I like it when I see a person using a file to chamfer a component and using protection plates between the chuck jaws and the job. I posted comment a few days ago on precisely what you did when setting up a square block in a four jaw chuck - using your center as a quick guide and then do fine adjustment with a lever type dial indicator. Nice work brother.
Thank you so much Mr. Hansen!!... Congratulations for your excelent work!... Best regards from Santiago de Chie, SouthAmerica!.. God bles you and your families and friends!
Hello, I don't know If that's your job, but I've seen you have a good level with this machine. I appreciate to see too you know how you use the metal file
Hi Søren, I have a similar size/shape euro mill and I am really impressed on the cuts you are taking with yours! What make/type is your mill? It seems that mine is fairly worn, I don't think I would feed comfortable fly cutting steel at these rates as you... Thanks for the nice videos!
Soren, Great vid, now I know how to fly cut a 70 degree Vee. Seeing you change the lathe chuck how about making a chuck board ? It's just a flat piece of wood with stops on the underside to keep it in place, you fit it over the bed when changing chucks - it you drop the chuck - they are heavy and oily ! It will protect the bed from damage. That a nice mill what make is it ? Tony
Tony Ray Thanks. I have considered make a board for the bed, but haven't come around to it. I'm not that afraid of dropping the chucks. The four jaw is quite heavy and I need a very firm and correct grip and have good mental and physical concentration to mount it at all, and I don't feel that I would ever drop it, but it can of course happen. Also there's hardly room for a board, as the chuck actually is almost too large for the lathe. If it hadn't been so inexpensive I would have chosen a smaller size. The mill is a Christen A0. Actually kind of rare, from Switzerland, a tiny bit larger than the well known Deckel FP1 and is very nicely and precisely made: www.lathes.co.uk/christen/
just seen this great piece of work was it from a design or from what you were used to using on a lathe. having used manual production capstan lathes all tools were on stops and i always had confidence if they were there The confidence wained if you had to manually bring the tool near to the chuck Still a great piece of work tho thanks
Thanks! As I write in the description to the video the design was sort of a copy of the lathes original stop. I must admit that it isn't in use that often, but it's very nice to have.
Wow, fantastic work and a very nice video. I see that you use the Australian Diamond tool holder, but with a cylindrical HSS tool. I have only used it with square sectioned HSS. How do you find it?
Gareth JeffersonThanks for the compliments. I'm very pleased with the Diamond Tool Holder. With a round tool bit you get a very smooth finish and it's very useful for alloy where you have a hard time getting a decent surface. Only downside is of course that you can't go "in to corners". I've also used the DTH for cutting threads - also works like a charm, but again you need lots of space around the holder. I've almost considered buying a left hand DTH for the same reason - if it wasn't for the price... ;o)
Very nice work, and I really enjoyed the video angles too. By the way, please do not take this as a criticism, but I was just wondering if you are going to replace the bolts with some more custom style stops, or will it remain this way? I know it's very useful like this, but from the looks of the rest of your work I know you have must have thought of this too. I'd love to see it with some knurled knobs or something, but that is just me dreaming out loud. Thanks again and Aloha...Chuck
+Knolltop Farms As I've also commented before, they were meant as a temporary solution - must admit though that I haven't made other solutions than to turn the head convex ;)
Very nicely done Soren, Curious as to where your family is from...Hansen I believe is English or Irish, but if I'm not mistaken Soren is Norwegian. I'm from the U.S. and always enjoy seeing the methods used by people from other countries.
dihskursivThanks. I'm from Denmark and Hansen is very much a danish name; it's the third most common surname here. It simply means son of (hu)man. Norway used to be a part of Denmark and a lot of the history of Norway is in fact the history of Denmark. The largest part of " the viking era" for instance. The danish language - tiny as it is (spoken by only 6 mil people) - has actually delivered a very large amount of the basic words to the english language. All because of the celtic culture being diluted and pushed back by the danes - in early times because the danes had "superior" skills and later simply with violence (the vikings). These days the language influence goes the other way - and some things about it are quite interesting: Some of the words came from danish, have changed their meaning a bit, and are now a "new old" part of the danish language. ;)
Great work!! It looks very clean. Just a question, do you give it a treatment for the rust after you build it or you keed it oiled? Thanks and keed doing that great works!
belmon125 Hi! I haven't done anything other than giving it a bit of oil. As also mentioned elsewhere I think it has quite some chrome to it - in any case it isn't prone to rust.
@Landrew0 For some reason I can't answer your comment. But thanks for the attempt to correct my broken english. Some of your points are valid and I'll make some changes to the text, but some are actually also incorrect - that much I know... ;o)
Great job with the stop, but I can't help but think you need to turn those bolt heads down and face them off. Maybe drill a small hole in the bolt shaft to get a bar in for loosening them if required. Works perfectly as is but i was never good at leaving things well enough alone😬
Thanks, Shawn. I've had that comment a couple of times before ;o) As I've also answered earlier, they were meant as a temporary solution - haven't made other solutions than to turn the head convex , though. I simply doesn't use it often enough to make a more elegant solution, but it is really nice to have for the rare cases that I do use it ;)
Vlad G Thanks - and you're quite right. Great minds think alike ;o) Shortly after the video was uploaded I turned the bolt heads slightly convex and polished them. I should probably have included that in the video. Also, my idea was to stamp numbers in the angular surface at the front (that's the reason why I turned it with an angle), but I can't find my set of number punches. I haven't given up on finding them, but I'll probably have to buy new ones! :(
Simply admiring a craftsman. Great work.

Very nice work and FINALLY a machinist who didn't like to hear himself talk..
Elegant, precise & imaginative, and that's just your English. The work is fantastic.
Beautiful work!
Neo7CNC Thanks!

nice to see just ONE person who does not drag the file back
Such a good idea, I am going to steal it. As a newbie, I doubt if I could accomplish anything near the same level of craftmanship. But that is another good goal for me.

So delicate video that I almost fell asleep. Nice work!

Excellent Precision Engineering & Great Video!!!
I also like how you just worked and didn’t give meaningless info to fill the video. Well done
Beautiful work, and very steam-punk looking with those bolts.
Very nice
Some very good camera work as well
Coming from a 20+ year machinist, very nice craftsmanship. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
The video is just fine. Thank you for showing us your work.
Great job, love the detail of adding the dent to it as well!
Wow that's a nice work shop. I enjoyed the video.
That is a very interesting indexer, I never know how those worked. I think I'll try making one myself!

Bloody brilliant workmanship there mate
I'm from Brasil! Beautiful running very accurately. It's a dream to have these machines. Like a lot of handwork. Congratulations.
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making and sharing it!!
Excellent piece of work.
Thanks for the great video, I just bought a lathe and watch as many videos as I can.
Excellent work amigo! Very creative! I too have some huge stud bolts that serve as stock. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Mr. Hansen!!... Congratulations for your excelent work!... Best regards from Santiago de Chie, SouthAmerica!.. God bles you and your families and friends!
That's some amazing manual machine work.
Excelente trabajo, y cada día me afirmo mas, todos los días se aprende algo nuevo en esta profesión.
very nice work and on the fly Engineering!
Congratulations on your beautiful work! It seems so easy for a professional, it's really nice to see you working!
Bravo!
You have performed an excellent job.
Gut gemacht, sehr schönes Teil. Well done, very beautiful piece.
I own a vintage Morini, and you sir are my today's hero :)
Awesome job man!! Don't worry too much about the production value, the content was gold. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Niccccce!
Good video work - I like the sunlight-lit portions especially (nice drops of oil flying in the sun when you first indexed it :)
No music no talking, thats perfect! You let your work talk instead. Good job sir!
Really nice work. Function and beauty.
Wow very nice job! A priceless aset to any lathe !
enjoyed very much and end result surprisingly good, when I realised the function, simple but great.
absolut gute Arbeit. perfekt!
your a very clever bloke wonderful idea and machining
wow that is impressive. Thanks for posting..
Amazing work, you are a very skilled man.
Robert Ritchie Thanks, just trying to do my best ;)
I was looking for stop ideas for new lathe, this one seems pretty good job and design.
Excellent work my man.
Good job Hanson
Mycket snyggt arbete Sören!
Man blir sugen på att gå ut i garaget och svarva något när man ser videon :)
Fredrik Moberg Tak for det. Dejlig at kunne inspirere :)
Really enjoyed watching that and a great tool to
Great project. I would just have machine the head of the 5 bolt to have them very flat. But really great result.
Ingenious. Beautiful work.
This was fascinating ...I did notice it looks like the man doing the work was not wearing protective eye wear.
+Leslie K We had a bit of discussion on safety with this video: ua-cam.com/video/abTCaXBx7os/v-deo.html ;)
Beautifully done
Hello, I don't know If that's your job, but I've seen you have a good level with this machine. I appreciate to see too you know how you use the metal file
very nice Søren (yeah i'm danish too) . i just got a lathe today so i'm learning.
Beautiful piece of work, much too nice for standard bolts.
Hi Søren,

Sim palabras... solo debo decir EXCELENTE...
I love how you don't wear safety glasses! It's driving the safety trolls insane and they just can't help but comment. Love it!
excellent work!

Det ser godt ud. Fedt med en video, som inspirerer med, at lave et ordentlig stop. træls at undvære, når man først har vænnet sig til det
just seen this great piece of work was it from a design or from what you were used to using on a lathe.
having used manual production capstan lathes all tools were on stops and i always had confidence if they were there
The confidence wained if you had to manually bring the tool near to the chuck
Still a great piece of work tho thanks
Thanks!

I must admit that it isn't in use that often, but it's very nice to have.
Nice stop, very well made. How does the indexing mechanism work? Does a spring push a pin into those indentations at 13:26?
See the assembly in the last part of the video (16:15). It's a spring loaded ball.
And thanks ;)
Excellent. Well laid out video. Thank you. Now I need one, too!!!

Nardini lathes are top notch

Very very nice job that’s bob on 👍🏻
Vert nice. I must make one of these
Excellent job!
Great Bro thanks more video upload please
Maravilha de trabalho. Fiz uma cópia simplificada (bem simplificada) para meu torno mecânico caseiro. Obrigado!!
+celso mascarenhas Thanks for your interest. I'm glad that I'm able to inspire!
Great job with the stop, but I can't help but think you need to turn those bolt heads down and face them off. Maybe drill a small hole in the bolt shaft to get a bar in for loosening them if required. Works perfectly as is but i was never good at leaving things well enough alone😬

When you need a stop they are sure nice to have. Your solution is much more elegant than mine so I should be taking my own suggestions to heart. : )
Nice work Bud...
Like that. Too bad not every lathe has this button.
awesome :) very nice work thanks for sharing :)
Excellent work
Very nice thing. Most feed stops get tossed, I don't know why.
Idomake Thanks. It's also a mystery to me why they get tossed. I find it indispensable.
Неплохо придумано, еще лучше исполнено. Револьверный упор
Very very nice!
Excellent job
Really Great Job ! like it ;-)
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Great idea 👍
Just found your channel and its good stuff--just the stuff I like so keep them coming..
Beats tv hands down and you can learn new things..regards E
Nice job 👍
nice work and video
Wow...that chuck stops very fast!
Excellent! It would better to mark bolts with color or digits and polish their heads for more precise.
