Max, I enjoy all the steps videos. The old saying is "There's more than one way to skin a cat" It is good to see different ways of doing the jobs & your skills manage it very well.

This is the second time I've watched this series and I've learnt heaps with practice since then. It's amazing that I learned so much more this time. I am making one of these chuck adapters now. Shout out to you Max.

Great job. I love the grin on your face when you realize you don’t know what you’re trying to remember

Max !!!! You had a Hair Cut & Trim lol 😆. Another piece of Brilliant Machining & a $Million Job. Lol 😆 You want to borrow my wand lol . Looking forward to the next Installment. Ohhh they new overalls lol.

Hi Max, enjoying watching each step, no problems with taking your time to show each step, those of us watching to learn something appreciate the time. Lovely radius, looks like a bought one. Looking forward to seeing which way you went on the other side and why

I love the whole process, and the long videos are my cup of tea. Great stuff

Max, Love the long and short vids. Some of the time I like to try my hand at what your building so the full deal vid is very helpful. Thanks for sharing, Mike

I learn a lot by watching you work. The viewers can always fast forward through material they don't want to watch. We can't watch it if you edit it out. I finally got my lathe motor back after 9 months and have been filling the chip pan since. You techniques have been helpful on making my wood lathe. Pulleys, spindles, tailstock... all sounding somewhat familiar...

Max I love watching the whole process really enjoy your videos keep them coming

Any way will be fine. I am learning such a lot from each of your videos!

Show it ALL. Please dispense with as much knowledge as possible. It's also entertaining.

Thats really sweet to watch Max. Free hand turning is a real skill and great to watch. Had a bloke in a shop I worked in who could free hand internal and external radii and 45's free hand and they where perfect. Mind you he spent 25 years on that machine (big Mazak) and no one else was allowed to touch it. Cam

Very good job max..thanks for your time

Gotta love the heritage tool - your great grandfather laid great foundations. Great series, Max. Thanks for sharing.

G-day Max, I’m really loving this project and it’s coming on nicely. Looking forward to next instalment.

Hello Max, Good video... I do like the longer format of videos... gives me a greater opportunity to learn... Take care. Paul,,

You underestimate how much viewers are watching Max we want to learn from your experience. Hope you make a buck from KZfaq you deserve it for what you put in. Awesome no bull videos.

I am quite enjoying the journey.

Always look forward to your sessions. You give us lots to process. Thanks! Enjoyed watching.

Gday Max, I think a channel like yours and the knowledge you have it’s a brilliant idea to show all the machining steps, people like myself can really learn a lot from this, the way you formed the radius is a art in itself, eye hand coordination is tested there in a big way, awesome video as always with plenty to take away away as well, have a great weekend mate, bloody wet over here, cheers

G'day Max, Yes please keep all the detail... The young whipper snappers can just use the fast forward button. She's really turning out nice and that was some fine welding, no porosity, at least viewed from my house. See you on the next episode 👍👍

Great video max, keep'um coming.

I'll have to scale this down to my MT2 tailstock but I very much appreciate your sharing the details of your approach.

Looking good Max... And no emery was sacrificed .. Hahaaa!

Appreciate your vids Max, really enjoy seeing how a real fitter does it. Just saying, all us wanna be home gamers wanna see the whole process so we can learn how to do it cheers mate

Thx for the vid Max. Keep doing the vids the way it suits you, because like you said people can skip forward if they feel the need. And get that new shop finished. ;-)

Thanks for another great video hope mine turns out as good. Dwayne NZ.

I've watched every minute and really enjoyed this entire build - thank you! Looking forward to part 6. 👍👍😎👍👍

Thanks max can’t wait

that was amazing freehand radius cutting on the lathe.

Good job keep it up take care. i hope you get your shop done soon.Mate

Great content Max. Keep 'em coming. I see you're in for some warmer weather. Enjoy

Great video Max Cheers !

Thanks Max....enjoyed. (I would have said 4-jaw)....☺

G'day Max absolutely loving this series mate, I've learnt loads, and I absolutely need one myself, thanks for sharing as always buddy

Great work Max!! I am always amazed at watching you freehand a radius, I need to try it on a scrap part.👍👍

Hi Max, you got me making one, I used a front wheel bearing for a ford laser, lynx here in the Philippines, double race angular contact so it's a simple bore. Little ahead of your's, making the spindle next. Made the hub out of a solid billet of 4140, lots of swarf.

MR Radius Freehanded Max love it

Max if you are a 4 generation fitter and Turner I think you should show all the steps for all the next generations ! Christopher from Queensland

Excellent freehand 👌👍cheers Chris

Nice work as always. I have done that two handed profiling a couple times and you are right, it is much easier to look at the opposite side profile than look at the tool. It's a great test of hand eye coordination, and more satisfying than watching a computer do it. Best!

Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome job Max!

outstanding Max! That part s looking great. Can't wait to see it finished.

Отличная работа 👍

Thanks max

This was a good one Max. That was a great shot showing you dial in those champers. I know all the metric guys will say, where have you been, well, stuck in imperial land, but during this video I got my calculator out and went 0.04 x 25 = 1. It was a good feeling seeing that 1. I know it really is 25.4, but I'm learning. Cheers and thanks for bringing us along.

Looking good. On the home stretch it looks like.

Top work

Thanks for showing the details, i always learn something new. I'm impressed how you always hit your number first time. I cant remember seeing the welding on this project.

Thanks Max!

I like this project because I have 8" 4 jaw and 12" 4 jaw set up with 5# Morse taper I need to rework them with 4# Morse taper. I like seeing your bearing choice. thank you

G'day Max. Nice freehand radius turning there mate. I've used soft jaws a lot on the cnc mill and once on the cnc lathe. I'd be very interested in seeing you do this with soft jaws on the manual lathe. Hope you're well mate and the shed is progressing along nicely. Cheers, Aaron.

You’ve got some pretty good hand eye coordination going on there Max. Who needs CNC? I think that I should have spent more time, as a kid, using an Etch a Sketch.

Cheers Max, going great.

good video series .. the one and done videos don't teach or show the how's and why you do what you do. .

G’day Max. Excellent result, I was thinking why not use a button insert for cutting the radius but then you brought out the radius tool, was that a hand ground HSS cutter? Those grey moments are annoying aren’t they but you didn’t edit it out, good on you, we need to embrace our aging moments. Cheers Peter

Nice job Max, stick with your long format, it's how I go too and is appreciated across the entire experience range. Everyone has their own way of doing things for example, I was paying particular attention to your cross slide inputs when boring, interesting how you back off at the end of every cut then reset immediately (almost like screw cutting), never done that or picked up on it before! Is that something you were taught or something you learnt? Cheers, Jon

👍

Week, I think . . . . . I forgot

It's coming along great, Max 😊👍. Maybe a dumb question, were you watching the indicator and manually compensating on the cross slide?

Having a moment of forgetfulness seems to be what we have to look forward to as we get older. Great isn't it 🙄

Max, when you cooled the part before measuring it _accurately_ you turned it by hand while running coolant on it. Is there a reason you turned the part by hand other than maybe to reduce the amount of coolant sprayed out of the lathe, even at the lowest speed of your lathe? I'm sure you've got a good reason or _you_ wouldn't be doing it that way! ;)

So what did the "crush" end up being on the bearing seats?
