That is so true. I have a fair dinkum home shop, with machine tools, welding, etc. available to me, and I am completely stymied by my desire to make a fine-feed handwheel for my Bridgeport! I would need to buy a bunch of expensive tooling I don't have... so I'll wind up buying the real thing for $70 because the $10 plastic one will NOT feel satisfying to use. *sigh* Further evidence you can never have too many tools / too much tooling.
As always I’m very impressed with your work. I’ve been around machining all my life and for a guy your generation to have your skills and level of patience and care..... this is a rare thing. Well done.
Well done brother! Love that round bar boring tool trick for the balls! Your approach to projects always involves your ingenuity. Keep it coming as you have a big fan here.
As usual Sir, a fine job of machining and videography! I really like your use of fast forwarding and high speed through all the basic turning and focusing on the parts that really matter. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Very well done. A nice cleanup of the original Multifix and I like the handle. I was talking to the computer screen as you were tempering the end done! A very nice straw colour. A good point to stop for an item that will see such heavy use. You will enjoy your tool holder for years to come!
@@kevinbreslin5718 a 12-point box end similar to most wrenches makes securing it on a fastener much less fidgety and broaching the 12 points on the rotary table/dividing head is WAY more accurate to keeping the cuts perpendicular to the faces than trying to file them to shape since it can't be cut with an end mill. That, and trying to file 4340 would be the furthest thing from a dance around the maypole.
Never seen a boring head used that way. Excellent work. You set the standard pretty high for us to follow. The bad part is not many will ever reach your level of skill but it gives a level to shoot for. All the best.

nice work!
Everyone doing handle after my mechanic, lol😁😁
🥰🥰
@ you are very famous, also here in italy, bye friend.
I’m please to see that ThisOldTony is just as much of a CZcams subscriptions hound as I am.
I wonder if T.O.T. is still trying to teach his mill how to count.
_Next time you encounter a roadblock, _*_This Man_*_ used a quill to broach a 12-point star with a scrap cutter!_ ☝🏼
He’s the man for sure. I admire him. He makes v excellent Objects and his videos are beautiful.
That's Jedi-level skill right there.
Very impressive! Thank you to taking us along on your journey (and the destination was spectacular)
Cheers bro, even a deceivingly simple handle shows it takes great skill to make.
every part a work of art (actually better than art, a work of craft!)

I've never seen a boring head used so interestingly! Keep up the amazing work!!

Beautiful work, as always. Merry Christmas from Norway!
Sweet "bro"aching tool bro!
Thanks brother 🥰😅
We have grown to expect nothing but perfection from you. And you never let us down. Awesome as always. Gary
Thank you sir!
Beautiful. Using your mill and a broken end mill to broach the teeth for the wrench just blew my mind!
Your skills in machining, mechanics and video editing are sublime. Very, very enjoyable. Thank you!
Beautiful result, and beautiful photography too.
Eye candy brother. The way you film stands out as crystal clear professionalism. Its as dedicated looking as the work itself
Just discovered you today.
WOW!!!
Excellent video!!!!
Very inspirational to home hobbyist as myself.
What a gifted machinist you are! Well done.
I'll bet watching you file that final fit puts a big smile on Tom Lipton's face.
Awesome craftsmanship and build....thanks for sharing

Ca Lem, do you ever make anything that’s ugly? Wonderful work, as always. Thank you. Les in UK
Let me think... Maybe i will try some ;)
@ I just can't imagine it. Even your car battery stick welding is nice stacked dimes.

The art of machining.

As always, very impressive and accurate work!
Nice job. Some creative machining. That,s what it,s a bout. Thinking outside the box!!!

Awesome !!!
You never fail to amaze me.
With love and best wishes from South Africa.
You do beautiful work.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I loved your solution for turning the balls at the ends of the handle. Adam Booth would love a handle like this.
I love watching you work
Excellent work and clever use of the boring head on the lathe!
beautiful result!
I really like your lathe also. and the way you restored it
Muy buen trabajo. Maestro. Un saludo desde España
This is a piece of art. Very nice.
Really creative work, especially how you made the 12-point teeth. That made me say “wow.”
Professor Lem
Could you explain why you did it that way? I'm serious and have no ability to do this

Interesting way of ball turning, Lots of us have boring heads, just another way of using it!! Ingenious.
Beautiful! We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Nicely Done!
Very impressive!! Heat treating was icing on the cake-
Brilliant !!

Amazing as always! I love the idea of the boring head as a ball turner on the lathe.
Wonderful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your work.
Cà lem the best! Amazing machining 🔝🙌👏👏👏
I admire your work, it’s fanrastic!
Few weeks ago I finished refurbishing my Multifix holders, but I have painted them yellow ;-). I will post the process once I find the time to edit the footage.
Nice work as always, and as always your films are too short, because they are a joy to watch!!!
Yellow is cool. I mean warm. Warm but cool lol
That broaching method was very clever. Amazing work.
Well done mate!
