This seems to be the right thread, even though this guy is half machinist/half woodworker, but I think you'll like it all the same (BTW, this is one of my subscribed threads, but I don't have anything really useful to post that often) I've been watching Frank Howarth's videos, and one of his latest videos is a semi-restoration of an old De Walt saw. It has a nice, slow pace, and is similar to How It's Made in calmness, but at least his videos don't put me to sleep like HiM does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyS0Ih7ga8k Pretty high production values (a lot of stop-motion, blueprint overlays, etc) for a one-man setup. Now, does anybody else know of a good YouTube channel like his? I'll list my current watched channels that are relevant to this thread below (and feel free to copy it for reference if you want, like for an OP or something): Tested. Adam Savage, computers, cosplay, animatronics, and fun James Bruton. A British 3D printing god, with innovative engineering. Currently designs toys for some big toy company. BigCliveDotCom. A Scottish bloke from both the Isle of Man and the UK. Loves LEDs, explains circuits, and is addicted to buying cheap Chinese eBay things and taking them apart while sometimes drinking "white wine-style beverages." Chris Vallone. A VW Beetle masterworker, but a lot of his techniques apply to any shop, big or small. Very soothing Brooklyn accent. Cody'sLab. A redneck who's not afraid of anything. Blacksmithing, forging, metalwork, mining his own ores, and occasionally exploding mercury-based things. jimmydiresta. What's it about New York that produces the best woodworkers? This guy is amazing, and most of his videos are time-lapse works of jobs, with no speaking. I respect this man. AgentJayZ. A Canadian jet engine mechanic, that does weekly Q&A's about jet engines, builds his own jet racing boats, and is an oldschool audiophile as well. AvE. ArduinovsEvil, a true Candian skookum choocher who will fabricobble anything out of anything. Remember, plastic cuts skin, belt cuts plastic, aluminum cuts plastic, cuntson tarbide cuts everything else. AWE me. A mostly useless channel, but they run MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED, which has some of the best blacksmithing I have ever seen, focusing on swords and novelty weapons. Ilya is love, Ilya is life. EEVblog. An Australian electrical engineer with a high standard for circuit design and an even higher pitched voice. Very knowledgeable. "Don't turn it on: take it apart." Matthias Wandel. A master woodworker, whether he believes it or not. Is on a weird quest to convert all of his power tools to homemade wooden power tools, including a sander, tablesaw, router, and a lathe. Loves plywood, and wooden gears. A bit weird, but good production values. Mighty Car Mods. As meticulous EEVblog is about circuit design, these guys are the inverse with regards to cars. Seems out of place in this list, but they know how to do things right, if you can get past the chode exteriors. Check out their 300kW VW Beetle conversion! Samm Sheperd. A kid with a Rick Astley-esque deep voice that doesn't match his face. He experiments with microcontrollers and RC airplanes. Good, bite-sized aerodynamic lessons. Techmoan. Another UK-er, this guy loves vintage AV stuff, and is very knowledgeable and informative on obsolete tech like RCA CED videodiscs or nanocassettes. Somehow doesn't manage to be stereotypically nerd-cringey. The Post Apocalyptic Inventor. A German bloke that has a habit of tearing apart old washing machines to use their motors, old scanners to cannibalize their op-amps, or old <anything> to take its <anything> for <awesome project>. Currently in a pseudo-partnership with AvE to design an EDM machine. The Backyard Scientist. Loves molten aluminum, propane, and high-speed cameras. Slower release schedule, but the results are always beautiful, and the guy isn't irritating like most slo-mo shows. As it says on the tin, everything is done in his backyard. Afrotechmods. Learn electronics! Colin Furze. A UK plumber cum mad scientist, Colin Furze is the master of thermite, pulse jets (scooter, bicycle, go-kart, car), and crazy. A British national treasure. ElectroBOOM. All injuries are real and not staged. Bill Hammond, the Engineer Guy. Bill Hammond walks us, step-by-step, through the genius of past and current design. From fourier analysis machines, the RMS Titanic, and click pens, every video gets my rapt attention. Nearly on-part with HiM for soothing, informative viewing. mikeselectricstuff. As crazy as EEVblog is, mikeselectricstuff is as calm. Watch Mike take apart and analyze everything from cell phone chargers to a $1m confocal laser microscope. Very informative. Applied Science. Ben Krasnow, who works for Google's super-secret-squirrel development team, GoogleX, designs and builds his own contraptions, while explaining very concisely and accurately the principles behind the operations. Automatic chocolate chip cookie machine? Scratch-built scanning electron microscope? How oil-air vacuum pumps work? Check this guy out! Bad Obsession Motorsport. AKA "Project Binky," two British blokes spend 3+ years meticulously engineering an answer to the question of, "What happens when you try to stuff a 4WD Celica Sport drivetrain into an original Rover Mini 1000 body?" Hijinks and precision welding ensue. NightHawkInLight. How to make a Thermic Lance. Make rope from Grass. DIY Paper Airplane Ballista. Winding custom springs. A very calm, nice guy with a progressively-lengthening beard, in the backwoods of <somewhere> doing crazy poo poo with basic tools and limited knowledge. Check it out!] Clickspring. I don't know if he's a master clockmaker, but he should be. See ya latah. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Mar 15, 2016 |

I only wear thin nitrile gloves (exam gloves, mechanics gloves are too robust) with spinning things. Enough to keep the grease and flung wires away, not enough to rip your skin off. Even they are still a risk, though. Real gloves are insane. I've run two degloving calls, both caused by gloves vs machinery. Don't do it.

He's Finnish, IIRC. Best part is he had the channel originally like a year ago, and it got no views. Then, a month ago, some guy on Reddit links to it and it takes off, and he started making videos again. The contagious laughter of his family is the most important part. The sad part is the copycats that have exploded since, but I hope they die down.

What's a good spot to find old machine tools? Just estate sales? I have an old Craftsman 101 (Atlas) lathe and I'm looking for the change gears and the m6-500 milling attachment. I see them on ebay, but for a hojillion dollars, and even the Phoenix Craigslist is pretty dead re: machine tools. Are there parts websites? Also, allegedly AliExpress will ship me 3 meters of 2 inch aluminum for $19. Seems too good to be true, so I threw them the money and will report back.

Or you get some Howard Leight amplifying earmuffs and call it a day. I used them in the Army, and have two sets at home. They block loud noise but can amplify so well you hear a squirrel fart at 20 meters. Also they have an aux in. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001T7QJ9O

The half-nuts on my Craftsman 101.21200 (AKA Craftsman Mk2 or Atlas 618 for most parts) lathe are worn. Even after adjusting the carriage pretty loose, (because the main "work area" is loose and right up against the headstock and way out by the tailstock are pretty tight if adjusted at 8" out, the ways are hella worn) trying to do feeds with the leadscrew causes the leadscrew to skip a bit. This happens after a complete disassembly and cleaning and oiling, too. This was a problem with the Craftsman lathe. I know this, because the later versions made the half nuts twice-ish as wide. The MK1 lathe (AKA Atlas 618) has a 3/8 wide half nut, and the MK2 lathe has a 3/4 wide one. I've found replacement brass versions on ebay, but that's holy hell Eighty-Five dollars. The seller states the leadscrew (and half nuts) are ACME 1/2"x 16 Right Hand Thread, which is something that doesn't come up AT ALL in google searches. Is he wrong? Am I wrong? Instead of paying $85 for a replacement from the only guy on the planet that apparently does them, I'd prefer to buy (or make, with a tap) a brass sleeve that's threaded to that thread, and braze it into the stock half nuts after boring them out. The stock half nuts are made of Zamak, which is a bullshit zinc-aluminum alloy that apparently had every accountant rock-hard 60 years ago, and is a crumbly and weak piece of poo poo. I'd like to fix this as I just drunk-spent $125 on a full set of change gears, and would like to do threading. I plan to make my own 1-10TPI threaded spindle adapter for endmills, as I just bought a basic bitch but expensive milling attachment for the lathe.

I just got mine for a good price, mainly because it came with a big workbench and I'm just a hobbyist. More like, as I think I say too much, adult playdoh. Just messing around. Sleeving the stock half-nut with brass seems like a good enough project to do to learn I think. Unless I'm way off the mark. I understand that the lathe is poo poo, but I also daily drive ACVWs so I think this is self inflicted pain.

That's what got me on it. I don't really need a band saw, and the cheapest "acceptable" versions of each are $76 for the wen scroll saw and $225 for the wen 10" band saw. The 9" wen is $125 but for some reason it scares me.

There is no harm in trying. You've got to have a healthy heat source, though. For the timescales he's talking about, you NEED to get it up to red glowing. Having the rest of the shovel there sinking heat away makes me wary. Give it a shot? I think two or three mapp-pro (RIP actual MAPP 1940-2008) torches, or a foundry, would be minimum? E: poo poo wrong wording. Hopefully you get what I mean.
