Fabricating Tools - NGC
« on: December 02, 2018, 11:00:50 AM »
For those of you who tinker with lathe and mill and try to build you own custom tools.  I stumbled upon this while searching for a technique.  This guy is obviously quite a competent machinist.  But, you'd better be wearing a substantial sense of humor to watch his work.  Worth your time to go through to the very end.

After he fed the poor kitty the turnings (you could hear him munching them down) I expected more than just a Purrrrrr-fectly shaped pivot rod in the kitty litter. Like... maybe the kitty morphed into something else?

A mill is one thing that's missing in my workshop.

I don't know how I survived without the lathe, it is just so useful.

 that kitty must have a sore butt.
And I don't believe flipping a righthand tap makes it into a left hand tap.
 And it was nice to show that the kid was the real genius of the show.
And I can do without the soundtrack that follows after you leave the page.
