Great video! I always learn something new from you./ May I ask what the rpm was to turn the brass? I've seen several machinists turn brass on a wood lathe if you can adjust the speed to the correct amount. They also emphasized the importance of keeping the turning tool firmly against the tool rest to prevent chatter just as you mentioned. I would kill for a South Bend metal lathe. Those older machines are works of art. Your lathe moves so fluidly and almost no sound. Just amazing! I see Grizzley is now carrying South Bend table saws. They are in a nice blue with white, though I do prefer their traditional colors. What would be your opinion on their modern-day machines out of curiosity? Thank you as always for sharing your expertise.
95% of the time yes however the round nose is bisexual when it will fit the area you are trying to turn. Brian feel free to call if you have any additional questions, Paul 706-781-6951
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Did you ever make some from steel. I collect (and use) old leather tool and we hade same trouble of missing/broke thumb screws although mostly steel ones. Thanks
Nice nice video. Thank You. You should check out “ click spring”, you might enjoy this fellows talents. He is always a pleasure to watch. Something about working with brass that I really enjoy.

I want to try making and using the .010" scraper tool you showed to finish brass. Thanks
Can you free hand aluminum knobs also?
