      Just a suggestion, but rather than clamping the screws in a vise and hand filing them, why not chuck them up in your drill and let it act like a vertical lathe? Then you can just hold the file against the screw while it rotates in the drill.

      Usually, there are three taps in a set, starter, intermediate, bottom.
      When a tap gets tight, back it out and run in one of the others.
      Keep swapping taps (in any order) whenever one begins to get a bit hard to turn.
      I've done this many times and my tap breakage has gone to almost zero.

    Nice simple prohect. A shop tip for you and your wiewers: If your design allows you ro drill a hole in the path of the hole saw blade (this does), the hole allows a place for the chips to eject. You get a cleaner, faster, better and cooler cut. This also greatly extends the life of your holesaw.

    These are great Neil, I want to make some now. A little tip I've learned to keep your drill bit centered on the punch divot: After punching the metal, first drill a slightly larger divot with a 1mm drill. This will give a larger mark for the center web of your final drill bit to sit in without wandering. Sometimes if the ridge around your punch mark is too crooked, file that away first so it doesn't push the 1mm drill off it's path.

      @@PaskMakes Annular cutters win that competition any day of the week! Not only are they way faster, they also leave a lovely finish when they're done. It's a shame they're so expensive. Only thing I've found that makes a normal hole saw leave a decent finish is to straighten out the offset on the teeth, it's way too much of a kerf if you've got it mounted rigid in a drill press or mill, and it's generally not a consistent offset so the saw is constantly trying to track in weird directions and causing the rough finish.

      Mild steel drills easily w/o cutting oil. If the hole is very big, drill a small pilot hole first. If you are doing production work cutting oil will make tooling last longer. High quality bits make a big difference also. To learn how to freehand sharpen bits - Thatlazymachinist- has an excellent tutorial.

    Wonderful video Neil! So many of the things you did from proto to final run show a great perspective on design & making things. Great little clamps and easy to make a few in an afternoon, Nicely Done! Love Boeshield T9, used it for a decade now and goes on most of my good tools and when I need something thin to get in there and do the job. It was also nice to see someone use the Oxy/Map Bernzomatic. It's a good investment, portable and with a proper, tilt carry rack (mine is some scrap acrylic and holds all my gear), you can get it in hard to reach places or use it on the bench. Thanks for sharing your passion for making things with us!

    When tapping with a straight flute tap you should back up the tap every turn to break the chips, this allows the chips to fall out of the flute and prevent binding.

    How refreshing it is to watch a man using his skills with actual hand tools, not plugged-in or battery powered machines. I know I'm a dying breed, but I was getting worried that I could be the last human on the planet who still uses hacksaws and files, instead of reaching for the angle grinder.

    Handtooling has a long history. My grandfather told me the story of a German bench worker whose work with a file would be replaced by a new cnc machine in the late 1950's. The poor man loved his work so much he was in tears, he did not lose employment but his filing skills would no longer be required.

    It was good to see you filing a rounded surface as I was taught. You can file round with no flat spots by pushing handle of file down while pushing forward. Removes burrs from shafts to pull bearings ect...
    Also I thought I saw white out pen marking corners. I use white-out pens to mark torch lines as white-out does not burn off but only turns red in heat.

    In 1958 I went to night school for Machine Shop 1. Lathe instruction was first making a pair of screws and pads. Next came a 1 x 8 1/8 x 1 inch thick crs blank to make a pair of C clamps. The first used all hand tools except a drill press for construction, the second added shaper or milling machine construction options. Graduation occured when both looked like a pair (a lot of rework went on the first clamp). Enjoyed your content.
