    Quinn - I'm glad to see that you and Sprocket are gracefully settling into your new space.

I wondered how you could keep your YT channel going during the move, and I will certainly understand if you occasionally miss your goal of posting a new video every week. Honestly, I don't know how you've been able to do it for 4 years straight. All the best!

    Quinn, while you may not have a Red Seal for Machinist you are 100% a real machinist. I wish I had discovered your videos when I first started in machining back in 2018. I only found them last year and now refer my students to them to study out of class if they need more visual help. The fact that I was able to find clear, well shot and concise videos on turning and facing was a miracle and my heart wanted to explode when I realized it was from another STEM female. Thank you for your videos 🥰

    A few years ago I got a small lathe, mainly for use in my scale modelling hobby. I started watching CZcams machining videos to learn how to use it, and quickly ended up on your channel. Your Lathe Skills videos were a great introduction. Then I started watching your new videos as they came in, which introduced me to milling and the options it offers. I now have a mill and last week I was able to machine my first part on it.
    So, thanks for making machining accessible, and for inspiring me.

      One of my favorite channels has fallen to this fate. I’m always happy to see others doing well, but I’d much rather hear about actual machining technique than the brand of mill your using for the 20th time this video.
      I’m honestly a bit concerned how one CZcamsr in particular is going to fare moving forward. ToT caught a bit of flak for going CNC with a machine that many hobbyists could actually afford. I’m pretty sure you can see what I’m getting at here.

Also I really hate all those "reviews" and "this brand vs another brand" because it's all nonsense. I love videos that show the process and share ideas and techniques. Most hobbyists need to deal with many limits. It's too easy to sell people more and more products while we can achieve so much with little tools and good ideas. Although it's a different topic I enjoy Mr. Chickadee because he opened my eyes to what can be done.

They effectively use a "center-tap" system, with a common (stupidly called "neutral", anything but) wire and two "hot legs". All of the run-of-the-mill appliances run of of one of the 120v legs (commonly 15a or 20a circuits). A water heater or dryer or electric stove or oven will use the 240v. I have several 240 volt outlets (some that can handle 50 amperes, such as for the welder) in my house and garage.

      Thirdeded. I think Quinn is making a real valuable contribution to a long-running body of work about not being constrained by limited machinery.

    I watch a channel run by a crusty old Harley mechanic and he moved his 50yr shop last year. To say it was a big undertaking is a massive understatement. Anyhow,he filmed it all and posted a ton of content of him just going through everything and talking about what he’s done and what still needs to be done. I’m sure a lot of us would like to see how you get through your new shop set up as well. Just a thought.

    Thanks Quinn, you have taught us so much. All my machining skills have come from your channel. Being a smaller, cheaper lathe guy with no mill, I really have to adapt when making a project. Your knowledge has been immensely valuable.

    Quinn, all your content screams integrity and genuineness. I'm so glad you're gonna have more time to hang out with your dad. I'm probably older than he is, but he's a lucky guy to have produced someone of your caliber. I used to watch your computer stuff, and I always came away thinking, "She should be in front of graduate students teaching just about any subject under the Sun. It's so important to be able to articulate concepts in a way that's approachable, and you've mastered that in spades. Hard to overstate how proud of you I am.

    I'm glad to see your in your new place! I just moved late last year and I'm still working on my shop every chance I get. I would love to see you restore a old lathe or end mill just to see your take on it. Can't wait to see what the new shop looks like and how you set it up!

    @twotone3070 Před rokem +1

    Whilst I may lament a missing weeks video, I'm not a machinist I enjoy the maker and human elements, I would never want you to feel unnecessarily pressured to create one. If you want to keep up a 'record' that's your choice, if you feel one missing week will fall foul of the algorithm, that's slightly worrying, if you think we won't be here, that's never going to happen. Your production values are outstanding and well worth any wait.

    man i love this channel. i think you are handling the public/private dichotomy of being a private person with a public channel really gracefully, and i really appreciate your frankness and lack of self-consciousness. this is the only channel i have post notifications on for because it is always so enjoyable to watch, even and especially when it's just clips of sprocket!
    good luck on the rest of the move, i hope it goes as smoothly as an international move can be expected to go!!

  • @Antti_Nannimus
    @Antti_Nannimus Před rokem

    This is the ONLY cat video recorded entirely inside a vehicle that I've ever watched. It is also the only one I've ever enjoyed and appreciated. I think that record will now stand forever.
    I'm also astounded to discover from it that you have never had the benefit of any formal training in machine shop technology. I suppose it proves that some very special people can learn and become competently expert at even the most difficult and challenging things without benefit of formal training. It prolly also proves there's a lot of good information running around and available now.
    Your personal ethic and painfully rigorous discipline to develop and produce so many regular videos without fail is highly admirable, and I don't understand it in the least.

  • @taranson3057

    Quinn, I appreciate your work on CZcams. While I'm strictly a woodworker myself some of the things I've seen on your channel I've been able to use on wood. It just proves the old adage, you never know where you're going to learn something that you'll put to good use some day.
    You & Sprocket keep up the good work. Thanks!

    Quinn for your electrical issue, I had the same issue when I moved to my current house. The whole house was on a 100amp panel, I ended up getting a second 200amp service installed just for the garage and that has been great.

  • @asciimation
    @asciimation Před rokem

    Thanks for the link to the carbide inserts. Doing this as a hobby I find it a bit tricky trying to figure out what works best. When you do upgrade to bigger machine tools just remember what the move was like this time and consider how much worse it gets when you buy more and bigger stuff!

    There is no better reason than family, until a few weeks back I hadn't seen my adult children for 4 years, got to catch up for a coffee and a chat in a little coffee shop, ended up crying along with the staff. Facebook just isn't the same as a hug.

      I would like to see the difference in how you set up a shop and the machines now that you’ve had years more experience. Not just what you would do different but maybe even what you would put up with to get something else in return (unless your new shop happens to be perfect).
