Well this video took much longer than I expected, but I went a little crazy and took 140 individual video segments to make it. Not much talking, all action and so...so much hand work. If anyone is wondering, I don't have a mill, but would love one in the future.
I made this because I've been wanting to do some hand scraping on an upcoming video, it is also intended for scraping in my lathe eventually, but this upcoming video is not what you might expect (hint, it is cast iron).
This is a relatively simple project, but what an amazing tool this is. I can't wait to sharpen it properly and really start to learn how it works.
The carbide was purchased from Ebay: Carbide inserts 25x30 TC6-UF semi-finished (No affiliation).
Thanks for watching, I hope this inspires you to get into the shop and make something and learn along the way.
A special thank you also to K.S. for providing the old parts.

Gorgeous indeed. And there's something elegant about the way you work and the venerable machines you use. The whole thing was a delight.

I found this looking for something else and I'm glad I did; your work on the piece and the cinematography are both top-notch! I don't think I could afford to commission one of my own but I note that you had several of the piano parts; if you're interested we could talk about one of those and a wood blank so I could make one of my own. Let me know please.

It is interesting how were made from scratch first machine tools when there were no machine tools

Thanks! Do you think I should go ahead and split my channel, I have quite a bit of 3d printing tech on here, it seems to be the most popular thing to focus on these days.

It's good work but I suspect you'll eventually make something lighter and with more flex. I hope you get a milling machine. It will change your life.

Richard King recommends the scraper be ground in an arc.

It comes with an arc already.

Very nice. I have a question, what was the brown layout fluid you used ?

@NeedItMakeIt 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I couldn't justify buying the layout blue, so I did some research and found that it can be made easily with shellac, dye (mine was chocolate leather dye) which I had on-hand, and alcohol. It worked very well, If it were a little darker it might show up better, but it did the job. It might be hard to compete with the Dykem, but it's not really necessary if you're not a machinist. Let me know if you think it might be worth making a video on how to do it. Thanks again for taking the time and have a great one.

@@NeedItMakeIt OK that makes sense, when I first saw it I thought it was some sort of rust converter. I really don't think the blue layout fluid is anything special, often I will use a Sharpie marker.

Another fluid that was more common in the mid 60’s, or before is a saturated solution of water, and copper sulfate (blue crystals). Add some to the workpiece and scrub with some emery cloth. Some of the older recipes called for a few drops of an acid. I do not remember which, or how much, and it truly is not needed to get a nice copper color that is really nice for flat work, like templates and gages.
