It's really interesting, isn't it? If you look up offset turning you'll find more examples. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah, I need to make some more, especially some that I'm willing to actually use! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I'm glad you like it! It can be difficult to (bring myself to) make ugly stuff when I have such great equipment and it's so enjoyable to make it beautiful. But yes, that also makes it difficult to put it to use.

Сізге ұнағанына қуаныштымын!

I mean...lots. The gray lathe has variable speed (Reeves drive, like a Continuously Variable Transmission). The green lathe has 6 belt positions. Different speeds for different materials and processes. I've found that very few people watch new channels with slow content, such as explaining numbers like that. (See my video on aluminum trim molding for an example. It has been dead to recommendations for almost 2 years.) When few people watch for very long, KZfaq stops showing the video to ANYONE. Have to do some like this where I cut rapidly and don't do much in the way of explanations that would bore mass market viewers to get some movement behind the channel before I can get into stuff like that with an established audience. I would much rather do a long video where I explain all of it, but at this stage KZfaq would just punish me for that.

Yeah, it's hard to see but there's a decent mist going throughout the bore. Kept the part much cooler than no coolant, and far less mess than flood coolant. Eventually I'll build a shield to go over the chuck so I can do flood coolant without spraying my whole shop as it flies off of the chuck.

I'm glad you like it! So far it's living on a bookshelf in the house. Can't bring myself to actually use it. 😁

I'm glad you liked it! The fence is actually quite accurate, but that blade was more dull than I realized. I just finished the cuts since I was turning everything down on the lathe anyway. Believe me, there was no mistaking the smell when I was done with those cuts!

Excellent! Isn't KZfaq amazing? Surely we would have never known of each other otherwise. I hope you will make some videos of things that you make!

@@glueandsparkstrue words by any chance will you be able to please make me a hammer like your one and send it to me please thank you

Great question, Ron! I was using a relatively low power hot plate ($18 on Amazon) for this. 1000 watts or so, and it was plenty. In the past I've used a propane camping stove. This was much easier!

Yeah, about that... So far it's living on a bookshelf in the living room. 😂

@@glueandsparks It really does look like an excellently functional mallet my soft face is my goto hammer for the machine shop or really anywhere I’m not trying to destroy something or drive nails

@@glueandsparks Noooo. It needs to be used. First ding or scratch will be the hardest, but it will get easier from there. I made a beautiful workbench from old reclaimed hardwood. Achieved a perfect surface finish with hardware and it ended up living in the lounge room for about 6 months. A very fancy side table. First main damage was when I buggered up and ran a circ saw into the edge. I'm no longer precious about it after that stuff up. :)

Thanks Jesse! You definitely should!

Thanks! It makes me happy every time I see it!

I wondered who would be the first to notice. You're the winner!

😂 Texas doesn't deserve you. It's called Dykem, or just metal marking fluid or layout fluid. Just high contrast coating that scratches off easily so you can see the marks you make. Terrible as paint because the adhesion is so poor. Great for marking layout lines, or for getting everywhere and making yourself look like a Smurf (though high spot blue is far more effective at that since it doesn't really dry up).

Thanks Steve! I'll bet my "surface grinding" segment made you cringe. 😁

@@glueandsparks Not at all, for what you where making it was more than enough. Steve

Thanks on both counts! It's a work in progress like anyone's shop, but I'm pleased with it. It's been a long process to get to this point.

Mystery steel. I buy from a liquidator who scans with a PMI/XRF gun but they only label tool and stainless steels by alloy. Everything else just gets labeled "CS" for carbon steel. Covers everything from 1018 to 1095 to cast iron. It's frustrating, but it's very cheap. I'm sure you didn't want to know that much, I'm just venting. :)

@@glueandsparks I was just curious. Looks good, keep it up!
