If you'd told me a year ago that artisan machining videos with acapella soundtracks and pixel-art diagrams was something I needed in my life... I probably would've agreed, actually. You are a gift to us all

Nice to see the only use-case for the wrench.

Skipping Uri Tuchman Shenanigans in a Uri Tuchman video is unheard of and unthinkable

Hey everyone, this video is a re-uploaded version. The previous version had some audio issues that I hope are resolved in this one 😅. I Apologize for all the lovely comments on the earlier version, feel free to rewrite them 😊.

Sometimes, you're just messing around on YT mindlessly watching random videos. Then, other times, you discover a channel that resonates with you in such a way that 6 hours have passed without you realizing it. This... is one of those channels.

The pixel art is fantastic 👌

I do believe that Uri is the Millennial version of the Renaissance Man! A logical man. A man who solves problems. Both a dreamer and a man of wisdom. A scientist and a joker! You never know what will transpire on his next appearance. Well done, sir!!!

I love how not only does Uri make his own tools, but he makes his own sound affects and music too. I love it.

Artist, entertainer, artisan, creative, visionary, fabricator and many more all rolled into one. Thank you so much for sharing your highs and lows in a way that makes me awestruck. Such a unique person and craftsman.

Useful notes: a) Steve Lindsay gets _very_ grumpy about other people building dual-action pneumatic engraving handpieces. b) Steve Lindsay's early patents (US6095256A, US6508315B1, US6488102B2, US6530435B1) have expired. c) It is absolutely legal to make use of technology described in expired patents - it's the entire point of the patent system. There are some very useful nuggets of information in these patents if you can get your head around the strange language of Patentese. Also, the background music in this video is epic.

I love how Uri is like if you sent a magic laptop into the past to a Renaissance craftsman and he could only watch Monty Python.

Video production is amazing, just seeing how you developed it makes me happy! The original soundtrack, sound effect, the pixel art, it just makes the video an experience. Love it! Every video is an art piece that shows art haha

Deja vu! 5000 200 and 3 X God I love that guy xD

Hi Uri. I also made an air graver a few years ago. In case you’re interested… First, I made the back and forth version powered by a modified little air tyre compressor. This was a waste of time. Next, I made a basic version of the Lindsay engraver. The same piston arrangement but without the pressure on/off handle. It functioned… kind of. I guess you saw videos of Lindsay engravers shredding steel like a plough through dirt. Yeah we’ll mine was lame. It vibrated and did the thing it was supposed to do, but I’m not sure that it did it much better than if I was just pushing by hand. I tried heavier pistons, enlarging holes, more/less air but it never worked well. I think the valves have to be just right, so that the piston smacks the end of the graver at maximum velocity, before the upwards air has any effect. I found it hard to get that to work without stalling the piston. Anyway, I couldn’t easily get it to work well, so I gave up.

Miss the shenanigans? Never. You are the shenaniKing.

Oh, and your collets need 2 o-ring grooves. That will make them more stable in the barrel of the tool, and will keep them from wobbling around, which they will do if your pieces aren't heat treated. The pieces will wear quick, and start wobbling. If you want to keep it from shooting the collets out, you need thicker orings for a tight fit in the barrel.

Uri : Go to 2:44 to skip all the shenanigans. Me : Please. I am here to watch your shenanigans!

Without doubt Uri's most eccentric upload to date.

I completely understand your conclusion. You want to create art, not noise pollution. I feel the same way. That's like going to a remote campsite to relax and hear nature sounds and people nearby are running generators for their glamping. Your vocalizations are just amazing!

Not only are you an immensely gifted engineer, but you are also most magnificently entertaining. Thank you for all your videos.

Skip the shenanigans?! The shenanigans are 63% of why I'm here!

I laughed so hard at the shinenigans. I think they were absolutely a core element of the video

Assuming I understand how the tool works, you might consider making your stop bushings out of nylon instead of brass, it may reduce the noise of the tool. But great video as always 👍

speaking from experience owning a steve lindsay classic foot control, his is extremely refined and very smooth, not nearly as loud and can go from hogging out deep 1/8 inch chips of metal to tiny less than hair thin lines. Its a flawless tool if there ever was one. Nice job making your own! try making the piston from hardened steel, make a steel handle instead of wood (softens the stroke because of extra mass) and add a regulator to adjust the psi which will affect the cut depth along with the stroke length of the tools collar. If you ever get the chance to try a lindsay hand piece it will blow your mind!

Love it Uri, cool stuff seeing an artist create his own tools... even if he won't always be using them.

Your shenanigans are what earned my subscription years ago. Never skipping that. I think you should redo the handle in wood and make it bird shaped with the chisel part its beak.

Very cool. I love your custom sound tracks and the shenanigans. I wonder how the tool would perform with a heavier piston or a longer stroke?

Your talents are not only amazing but have no limits, you can build anything you need or want. It’s been awhile glad to see you back Uri your videos are still top shelf. Thank you

I love where this channel has gone over the years. Especially the custom soundtracks and pixel art graphics. Those were amazing.

I'm so glad you leave in all the singing and "oh my gawd, Holy crap, idiot and pheewws". It really makes us feel like we are there because we know how many swears, songs and lamentations are required to complete any worthwhile project. Edit: The Spaghetti western soundtrack was incredible. You managed to take that wierd vibratory humming thing we all discovered as kids and use it for something beautiful.

URI, I love it when you sing along to your machines’ noise. I thought I as the only person who does that.

Your sound effects and music antics just made me so happy. Thanks.

Making a finer air graver when you had never used one,,, is next level understanding. You are brilliant, old and new school and timeless all in one.❤

The shenanigans is a large part of why I subscribe! 😁👍

Reproducing a tool in your shop must be such a satisfying experience. Looking at something that works perfectly and knowing that you made it

Thank you Uri!!! These videos always bring me such joy!!! Innovative, artistic and hilarious! Please don’t ever stop making content! Love the beautiful burl handle!

aaaaaaaaaaaa uriiii, I'm in love with the pixely animations and that mechanism! I really like your creations💜

The lathe has always held a magical fascination for me, even as a little kid. I do get occasional chance to work on the lathe at my job as a bench jeweler (I work for a custom ring design company in Tucson). I’m contemplating buying a lathe for my home studio, just have to find the space (or add another room to my shop, which I desperately need). I really appreciate your process videos! Nothing better than watching someone working at their craft, with joy and humor IMHO. I’m also one to chat along with my work, adding dialogue and sound effects. It’s wonderful to discover other artists with similar humors- thanks for sharing your effervescence and craftsmanship- now, I’m headed to my shop! Ciao- MBZ

I love all the shenanigans I will never skip.

Uri Tuchman is now the European Bobby McFerrin. Loved the little sound bites during the lathe scenes.

If you want something inaudible, one could go for an ultrasonic piezoelectric version using an 40kHz piezoelectric transducer like one might use to create an ultrasonic cleaner. That said, earplugs and muffs are required and one must pad the handle and not touch the business end. Though nothing should cut smoother, it is hitting the metal 40k times per second. Nice pixel art, reminds me of powder game...

nobody skips shenanigans from uri .....ever we love it

The shenanigans are like 70% of the reason I'm here but I appreciate the note at the beginning

I absolutely adore your videos, from watching a master at work to the quirky humor you employ it is out of this world

Why would I skip to 2:44? The Shenanigans are why we are here!!! Thanks for sharing🇨🇦

just started watching....why would I willingly skip the Tuchman shenanigans??....ever....(added this after watching the first upload and will happily watch it again...with better audio)

I love this. Your custom sound tracks, your awesome pixel art, and of course the build itself: all so good

I've never seen anyone other than clickspring use hand tools to turn metal on a lathe. That is seriously amazing. You have earned my sub and I shall spend the entire weekend binge watching all of your videos

Uri I love your sense of humor and everything you make with your hands✨😎👍🏻✨😌Last winter I attempted an engraver yours is a thousand times better than mine🤝

Uri, always a pleasure to watch you work up your masterpieces!

skip the shenanigans?! that's half the reason we watch you! :D never gonna skip the shenanigans.

Loved the video. Always a pleasure to watch your unique style- and now unique tunes!

Uri, you can't imagine how happy it makes me when you come out with a new video. I wish you had the time to come out with new videos more frequently.

Love the pixel art infography you did there ! Keep up with your work, it's amazing

Who on earth watches an Uri Tuchman video and DOESNT watch the shenanigans.

Unique and amazing as always. Thanks for sharing

I love it. As a machinist I have always wanted to try engraving but now I want to make this first lol.

One of my favorite KZfaq channels. Keep up the good work man.

I was enthralled every minute of this video Uri, thanks. This is the sort of stuff I would love to do myself someday.

I'm glad to see others have suggestions for potential improvement on the noise or smooth operation and reduced vibration, as I am not qualified to offer any myself. All I kept thinking was how you might damage your nerves if this thing vibrates too strongly, or you use it for too long or too frequently. 😱 But I loved the shenanigans and the soundtrack and the art just as much as watching you make the graver, so thank you!

Why would I skip the shenanigans?!? Those are my favourite parts! Except the rest of the video of course! Fantastic video Uri! I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you creativity, ingenuity, or humour. Inspiring, educational, and entertaining to the max! And the soundtrack is exceptional, as always!

I freakin love you man, you're by fat my favorite person. You're a trip, and I'm excited to see what you do with this, or even if you order a quieter engraving tool. You make some awesome stuff, and it's still pretty amazing that you made this one by hand. I cant wait to see what you make next. You're one funny guy

I would just like to take this opportunity to say how amazing the sound design is in your videos. It's unique, quirky, delightful, and appropriate. 😊

Uri makes watching anything he does a Zen pleasure. Even know the graver what not a 100 percent perfect,it was still so pleasing do watch you work, my friend.

Absolutely love the atmosphere in your videos and also the explanation using animations was awesome, keep up the great work!

love the sound effects!

Love the shenanigans and the soundtrack...this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for 😁👍

Always a pleasure to watch

As always, good sir, your videos are as joyful as your creations, and I adore them both.

Gorgeous work as usual with a warm and friendly filming 👌⭐️ Thank you Uri , I had great time while watching 🛠⚙️👍🏻

I love the editing shenanigans with the sound around 12:25 to 13:25

exactly what I was looking for. graver and uri

Absolutely stellar as always.

New Uri video day is the best day!

This beat… this amazing beat! I’ll be humming it for days now… amazing work as always

Love seeing a new vid from you! Makes my day!

Fantastic Project! Love the pixel art!

Way to break it down to the tools components. Really demystified the power graver. I’m still very impressed, well done sir

I love the pixel art and sound effects ! Great work!

Skip the shenanigans? Why would I ever do that? Your shenanigans brighten my day and in turn everyone I come across. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍

All of your videos feel like perfectly curated pieces of joy and wonder

So good to see ya again .simply beautiful work ..love the outcome of your air tool .I’ll be watching for more .🇺🇸👍😇

love the mill, music and the graver.

This guy is top!! Only his good vibe, is enough!! His know how etc, are an extra!! 😅😅😅❤

Wasnt so sure about the soundtrack at first but now you got me humming it and I cant get it out of my head! You do good work sir🕉

You are a variety show of a craftsman, I love it.

I love your videos. I appreciate all the sound design you do. It must be hard to be ultra creative.

The sound fx and music are 🔥.

You are a true craftsman, great work.

Notable song Uri. One nice device more made by you. Congratulations for your great and fun work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🖤

‘Got to 2:44 to skip the shenanigans’! No bloody way, that’s why I’m here!

Great work, once again!

I love your shenanigans, I love your pixel art, and I love what you're doing! :)

I have to say, you have the very best sound effects on the whole internetz. Including the darknet, the twilightnet, the brightnet and even the ridiculouslybrightnet. No one can keep up with you. Everyone else can go and retire now. 👍

Awesome 😎 you detail work always impresses

Man i love the screen decending and pointing what is made

We love you Uri!!!!

Come for the mechanical genius, stay for the music and sound effects.

Good to see you again!

The animations reminded me of early 90s gaming, good memories.
