Thanks for the feedback.

It is my hobby. If it takes longer I don’t mind. I think it will look good when I have painted it and fitted the nuts and washers. The small blemish on the side wall is easily fixed.

I‘d rather fix the little cosmetic defect instead of having to deal with bent studs or awfully seated nuts 🤷‍♂️ this was the exact right way to do the job.

Hi Mark. Another alternative is a very narrow washer under the bolt head. Maybe you could find a grandchild to make you some! Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for watching!

No I didn’t temper it. I probably should have.

Thanks Tom!

My experience is that end mills don’t go so well as counterbores. In this case there wasn’t clearance anyway. You could do it from the side but it would look terrible.

@@CreaseysWorkshop Thanks for the reply

That’s great to hear. Thanks for your comment. I hope it works for you.

@@CreaseysWorkshop I can do heat treatment on the steel, and I can machine the part. The only thing I am not very good at is the grinding part to sharpen the tool. Trying to learn a bit of tool grinding and would like to build a tool and cutter grinder

⁠If you have a bench grinder a good start is to get a white aluminium oxide wheel and a diamond dresser for it. Both are pretty cheap. Then make a nice sturdy rest instead of the cheap metal rubbish that comes with the grinder. It will up your grinding game 1000%

@@CreaseysWorkshop I currently have an 80-grit grey grinding wheel that is really nice but I think it is for mild steel, not the harder steel types. I will definitely be making a new steady rest today, the one that came with the grinder is terrible.

Haha I use that thing so often I don’t know how I managed without one.

Thanks so much for watching and your great comment.

I have previously made them with 4 flutes but I found that this technique worked better for me.

Any time!

I pinched that idea from @oxtools Tom Lipton. They are great. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for watching!

Yeah it's a handy trick to know. Thanks for watching!

Ooh it will be interesting to see if it still works on a big scale. I don't see why it wouldn't. Be careful anyway! Thanks for watching!

You can use an extra thick washer ground on an angle on 1 side too. Little quicker, not quite as technical

Thanks for watching

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching!

That’s a great project. Thanks for watching!

Haha that was my This Old Tony tribute! It wasn’t real. I laughed so much adding it. I’m glad someone noticed.

@@CreaseysWorkshop that's when i decided to subscribe

@@SquareRootOfNegativeOne I'm going to be very tempted to sneak those into future videos now. 😀

@@CreaseysWorkshop a little humour, and no music. sound effects are ok. ☺

Thank you kindly

That’s great to hear. All the best!

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes I think it’s just the order that they were released up till the 10. After that they started using names like sirius, Victoria etc. It’s a miracle they still exist. They once made a generator for Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition.

I am very nervous about screwing up these lovely castings.

Yeah I could have. I thought I would get curved sides but actually that would have been very minimal so it would probably have been better. Certainly much faster as it took me 3 tries to get that setup to work.

I was so lucky it didn’t break. It could have been a huge disaster.

Hi Dave, thanks for stopping by!

Haha yes I'm sure!

Thank you

Thanks Rusty!

Thanks 👍

Yes, I don't know how anyone managed to do anything on a mill before they had DROs.

Haha thanks Mark!

It sure is! This one is just lovely to machine. I guess 50 years sitting in a box will do that. Thanks for watching.

Hi Tom! Thanks for stopping by.

It was fun to make one.

Thanks for watching Gary

Wow that didn’t take long! Haha. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks!

Yeah oh well, at least this one doesn’t have drawstring hanging at chuck height. I should probably get better boots as well.

I’m wearing safety crocs (fakes of course) most days in the workshop John. That’s my recommendation for boots. However hot sharp chips through the holes can be an issue.

Haha! The next one will be even lighter!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Maybe not if you know what you are doing. Luckily I am in no hurry 😂

Yeah, don’t tell my wife!

Thanks for watching. I enjoyed your collet video. I don’t remember where I saw the tape trick but it’s very commonly used I think. It works very well!
