I had never heard of PM Research. Great tip. I will be looking to pick up a kit that requires a bit of machining. Need to check the inventory. Thanks

I have a Lathe saddle stop on my list but adding the nylong vblocks. Great tip and I have plenty of nylon. Adding thread savers but I had avoided making them due to my past frustrations with my Tap set. Time to get on with it. :-) Adding all your suggestions to my list. Thanks

I made mine out of high density molecular weight plastic and i think those two black long pieces you have are HDMW.@@deezworkshop

@@TheMiniMachineShopThanks, Would be a good use for that material.

Correction UHMW

I just checked it out and downloaded the plans. I will think about this one. I would need to get a small dovetail cutter but I have another project in mind that I could use the dovetail cutter for as well. would be a handy tool to add to the toolbox. Thanks. Will be watching more of Stefan. I have wated some but not a lot of his videos.

I like this organizational idea, I will see what I can come up with.

I did attempt this with one supplier. When I said do you ahve a scrap pile...they sort of did but the response was, "We will sell you anything you see in these buildings". :-) most of it of course was A36 steel box channel, u channel, round bar but all full lengths and nothing I could use. I did find an area they had wiht some smaller cutoffs so I grabbed a couple pieces of round bar about 2" in length and a nice 2' square sheet of 1/4 inch flat plate. I wanted that for my workbench. I think they could order me anything I want but was hoping they dealt with more brass and aluminum and free machining steels. Oh well its a source at least I can use.

I actaully made one. It mounts in the tailstock using my jacobs style chuck. works great. I have a video or 2 on that one. Was a fun project and I hot blued it. So far no fust is appearing. Used it many times. I love having this aluminum stock. its messy to machine but is much easier on the tooling and most of my projects are fine in aluminum. Fortunately it is about the cheapest for me to get...at least in the random cutoff boxes I purchased in the past.

I have thought about getting one. I recently saw Joe Pies review of one. They are really cool little engines.

Yeah, That stuff is pricey. Im glad that chunk was sent in one of my random boxes i purchased.

I am going to hang on to that piece for something down the road which would need that. I think it was nice they tossed it in my random cut off package i purchased.

I did pick one up but my taps dont havce a divot. They have a point. I could make a new pin that allows for an inverse point to use with my taps... Project on the list :-) thanks.

@@deezworkshop check the pin out, some you can flip over and it has a cone instead of a point on other end.

@@mike9500I did and its flat. I thought about putting it in the lathe and turning a cone into the flat side. I did contact the seller on amazon and they refunded me the money and said keep it. lol.

I appreciate it. I did start watching her series on beginner Mill projects. she has some really good play lists with a lot of great help. I need to get back to watching those.

Single point threading is a fantastic skill to learn. It's very satisfying 👍👌🇦🇺

I have covered it. Its fun and really cool. I have donea few projects with single point threading. My most satisfying was my no spill oil pot, I was able to practice internal and external single point threading. Great project.
