- Our Shop Made Tool Post turned out amazing, let's see how it handles the big boring bar! This video is Part 2 of making a standard style 4-position tool post for our big lathe. While the tool post is out for tufftride nitriding we are going to finish making the other parts. We show the step by step process of turning scrap stainless steel solid bar into the new spacer, nut, handle and dowel locking pin. Once all the parts are finished we assembly the new tool post on the big lathe and setup the big boring bar for boring out the internal diameter of a big piece of tube.

We hope you enjoyed this video of the completion of our tool post build! This project was about a days work and approx $500 in materials, all up we think that's a worthy investment that's going to quickly pay itself off with being able to do all of the boring of material for our cylinder builds. 😎👍

Machine DRO 35 to 50mm Metric Internal Dial Bore gauge
And more
with this tool you can control the diameters at different depths of the hole
Don't want it to big or bulky that is not what she said 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Having contrasting colors makes it easier to see edges, and scrap stainless is the best choice in this case, because the only other option I see for any carbon steel would be hard chrome, and God only knows what that would cost. A really fine piece of work, and definitely something to be proud of. This has been one of the best videos yet; two videos in one actually! We got to see the finished piece assembled, and then got to see it in action. You mentioned needing a bigger boring bar, so I guess that'll be a future vid. to expect.
The new tool post looks "sexy"!
Now my Friday is complete.
Agree Abom79 and CEE and all is right with the world.
Steak night at the VFW then CEE.
Yes! I really appreciate the "wider" shots with Kurtis operating the lathe. @19:10 is perfect, because to me it was always a mystery how the machine would stop at the right place while threading.
Yes! I never noticed how Kurtis stopped the lathe as he does. Very cool!
The worst thing about lathes with foot brakes is people like to stand on your right, lean on the tailstock to get a good view and put their foot under the brake. First couple of times I came close to crashing into the chuck, after that I had fun with it and just scared them by slapping it on their steel caps before needing the brake.
@@mrsock3380 Thats why you dont let ppl to close while threading, they just dont understand if theyr not machinists whats can go wrong :)
@@Wolfy_80 that doesn't quite make sense, I was standing closer. I would just tell them they're better off to stand the other side for good view of the tool.
Me too, I wandered how he did it, now I know!
Once in a while I get a glimpse, like this, into the mechanical abilities of what our grandfathers and great grandfathers were capable of doing. And it’s enlightening to us. Keep working on it . I need the stimulus to go forward. 😮
This page is just so underrated. The workmanship and camera skills belong on a multi million sub page. It’s a shame all those people out in the world who love this kind of content just haven’t stumbled upon this page yet. It’s only a matter of time. I went back and watched a few videos from a year and so ago and how every thing has improved is just amazing. You and your wife will get there soon just kee up the good work and make sure not to piss her off you need that camera women around😂😂😂
thanks so much for that support mate we really appreciate it!
Cutting Edge Editing, amirite?
620K subs doesn't seem so underrated to me! Plus, he's got enough gear to build a battleship from scratch, so somebody out there is rating him highly! (The accolades are well deserved, I might add.)
ABSOLUTELY !
I have been following you for years, you are doing a great job and my favorite part of your videos is that you add Turkish subtitles. Thank you for giving us this viewing pleasure.
awesome mate glad you can enjoy watching with the subtitles!
"...I'll just get some 60mm stainless from my scrap bin!!"
Brilliant.
The stuff I have in my scrap bin, you'd probably call swarf.
Homey loves going through those clumps of grass and marking his estate. Ha. I thought we weren't going to see him and was getting anxious but he saved the day.
Thats a very nicely finished piece Kurtis. Thanks.
For the tool post to work the pin does not need to be knurled, the handle does not need to be polished or shaped, you know youre watching a true craftsman when they go the extra mile and create something truly beautiful, this will be a lasting reminder of the quality of your work.
No it doesn’t neeeed to be knurled but it sure helps when your hands are oily but I get your point it’s the little things
My life is so stressed , but watching this just chills me out. There’s something inspiring about this, watching experts at work.
You know you're about to do some serious work when you need a crane to install your tool
And I came here to say this.
My dad and grandpa taught me if man made it a mechanic can fix it, if a mechanic can fix it an engineer can modify it. Great job and hi from Texas USA
"I hate words" - Kurtis, 2023
I think we all have those days. Thanks for sharing this entire process! It's fascinating to see the level of detail and insane craftsmanship you have.
This set of videos (parts 1 and 2) were delightful to watch. Realizing you have a tool post that works, but you actually hate it and want to make your own -- I totally get that. And then to see how amazingly well it turned out -- just beautiful. To finish with ".. we're gonna need a bigger boring bar .." is truly hilarious. Great stuff!
Dam just got up to let the dog out & ur vid popped up now I have to stay up to watch it. It's 2am in Central NJ
Damn was about to go to bed and saw the notification for your video. Looks like bedtime will have to wait
we approve of this choice 😂😂
"That ... *other thing*..." I love the way you feel about some of your tools you have to use, it makes me feel better about how I feel about tools *I* don't like.
What Kurtis does and takes for granted makes us watch in awe and respect.
Beautiful and Functional "Bespoke" tool post.
Great editing and storytelling Karen.
Karen, you have amazing patience.
Thanks for the Video...
Hello Kurtis, Jose from Puerto Rico. I've been a subscriber to your channel for a couple of months now, and this is my first comment here. I just wanted to say that your craftsmanship is second to none. Furthermore, I regret not using my youth to learn such a marvelous trade like yours. Having said that, I did pick up a short course on stick welding, and I'm planning to gain more knowledge. Watching your videos is inspiring. I'm a 66-year-old newbie. I had an opportunity when I was 20 to go to a trade school and learn tool and die making, but life just got in the way and I left the course. That's something that I'll always regret. Nevertheless, I truly enjoy watching you at work and your shop doggie. Keep those great videos coming.
Hey mate! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. That's a shame you didn't get a chance to follow that path, maybe a hobby lathe for you to enjoy now along with the stick welding!
Your videos are magical and almost religious when I watch them. They memorize and calm me as you make a fine finished product from a raw material. You are educating your viewers in every video. Thank you Kurtis for your efforts. The world knows it is difficult enough just to manufacture your products, without video taping this effort also. Hi to your wife and Homeless!
Kurtis, you, sir, are a genuine craftsman.
It is an interesting thing that this amazing craftsmanship and long build production systems are not valued more in our society's any more. They used to be - but these days we take them for granted way too often. THIS is the foundation of our wellfare!
Nice I was just about to go to sleep! Gotta love these 1am uploads.
Beautiful precision job. And now very solid and more functional. When Kurtis started making the handle I was saying to myself . That would look really nice with a turned tapered handle. And what formed before my eyes. A turned tapered handle. And the whole set up looks sweet.
Is it just me, or is the sound of tapping a hole one of the most satisfying sounds in the shop? Excellent work!
Y’all’s work is always top shelf. Your shop built tools are amazing. “That’s not a boring bar! THIS is a boring bar!”
Love the "Homey Cam", excellent job as always, with sublime photography 😀.
Impressive on orientation of tool post handle fixing 👌.
Thanks for sharing.
always cool to see something from nothing projects will be nice seeing it in the background and more importantly be used in the future
YEA! Homey-Cam. Loved his nature break from the rigorist schedule of Safety Officer! Nice work Kurtis and Giggler, really enjoy all 3 of you.
This man takes as much pride in the parts he makes for himself as he does for his customers...damn fine work Kurtis, you certainly don't half-ass anything and I can appreciate that.
I learned early on in my Mechanical Engineering to *always* start with the scrap bin instead of just grabbing a full-length piece of stock! At one job one of the first rules they told me was anything in the scrap bin was fair game. I ended up making an entire engine stand out of steel pipe "drops" and some other bits. I still use it 40 years later! Total cost to make it was a set of casters and a can of spray paint! The handful of stick welding rods we just used like candy anyway, so nobody cared about those. 😁
My local metal supplier still lets certain customers sift through the scrap bin for off-cuts that will suit their requirements. It's already written off as too small to sell, so whatever you rummage up "sells" for $2 per piece in the RFDS tin.
My nearest steel stockholder charges pro rata full price for offcuts, even if you've rescued them from the scrap skip !
I recently got an off cut of EN8 to make a hydraulic cylinder clevis from and the guy brought me a piece that was covered in rust and cobwebs, I said "That piece of steel has been here longer than most of your staff !" only saving grace is you don't pay the cutting fee.
Steel prices are getting ridiculous! I now got people around my way wanting $20+US for steel bed frames!
At the Engineering office where I work, we stopped referring to partial pieces of trim as scrap. Until they're too small to use, they're drop-off.
I work for decades in the same company with big budget, and i still scan the scrap bin for usable pieces. Free for all, All you can carry. The money it saved me at home in my private workshop. Hell, if you need some simpe cold rolled steel or even a little 10cm piece of flat bar, you pay more in shipping that you pay for the material. From time to time i swing by some other Workshops, and i am a known face, get calles the "Scrap Man" ect.....it doesn´t bother me, because every usable piece i get for free or cheap is money i can sink in new tools and toys
Ok ok I will say that as a fellow machinist that I have been very satisfied with ALL of your videos but I have to say that this one and the last one just absolutely hit the nail on the head in a way that the others just haven't! Incredibly satisfying on all the machining, filming and editing! 🤤
THANK YOU!!!
awesome glad you enjoyed it that much!
Not a fellow machinist, but i echo wheelitzr2's words. This last video really blew my mind, you creativity impressiv
i do small machining jobs, what you did here is awesome, next level
I have to say that I love that sometimes you're practical, and other times you're practical with emotions.
Crappy tool post that can't perform up to your requirements sucks. But knowing that you'll be reminded of frustration each time you touch that dowel and taking the time to replace it so you'll find joy? So good.
I was awake at 3 o'clock EST waiting for this. Watched you finish the job and can only say excellent. Having made one off tools I know the satisfaction is immense when no one has the tool for the job but you. Well done to you and Karen. Homeless keep them and your self safe.
I’ve always been impressed with how skilled you are with big pieces. Seeing the result of your design and execution of a smaller precision piece did not disappoint! Kurtis, you and Karen put out the highest quality videos and I really look forward to Fridays. All the best from the US (banana land 😎).
Kurtis, I am a retired computer system engineer, getting into machining late in life just for fun! Love your videos and watching how you solve problems on a scale I will never have to deal with! Always fascinating! Give Homey a scritch from an Indiana Yank!
The PERIMETER check body cam...
PRICELESS 😎😎😎😎🐾🐾
Can't get over how good the stabilization is on Homeless Cam.
Really good job Kurtis, and yes it looks superb. That mutant boring bar is enormous, but it gets the job done so fair play. I can't wait to see if you have to make a bigger tool post if you make a longer boring bar. I used to like turning stainless steel as it was not something you could really rush. We used grades 304 and 316. Thanks for posting it does make quite a few of us happy to see CEE every week, take care.
Love your videos guys! I must say the bloopers are hilarious, great touch at the end of each video and the recent introduction to the Homeless cam is brilliant............Homie taking a pee up against the steel shipping container is comedy gold 🙂
YAY! More Homeless-Cam! Outstanding work to all.
Hello from across the pond as they say! I’m Dean Butler from Louisiana USA, I am not a machinist, I am a certified pipe welder and wanted to say I truly enjoy your channel. You do some amazing work. And your wife is an amazing videographer as well. And of course let’s not forget your safety inspector 😊
I also have another channel I would like to invite you, your wife and any of your followers to view if you don’t mind. “ Simply my thoughts “ Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to watch you work.
The stabilization on the Homeless GoPro is absolutely fantastic! Or did you perform magic in post? Anyway, the usual perfect camera work and editing! The metal guy is kind of good also……..shame about the insert on the drill- can’t be cheap. But the project was top shelf. Just checked the dates and you built the current huge ass boring bar a year ago, amazing how soon you have made it too small.
Yes. I'm starting to really like Homey cam.....Oh, and nice turning etc. BTW.
Homeless does a better job filming than most CZcamsr's
GoPros are pretty good at stabilising their footage. I suppose they wouldn’t be a very popular action camera if all the footage on them was shaky AF
That Gopro footage is not edited! The built in stabilisation on "Activity" mode is the tits!
The current boring bar is so big it has to be flown in by hoist but it's still too short. How ironic. But will the new tool post be able to handle the bigger, longer bar?
I thoroughly enjoyed you making custom parts. It was so cool seeing the threads being machined!
The steady system on the GoPro is just beyond this world.
I had forgotten how massive that boring bar is. Excellent work with designing and building that tool post!
so the boring bar you said was big enough is now not big enough! make it much bigger will need a bigger crane.. fantastic work as always and can see the difference a stable tool post can make. lathe I used to run had one of those clicky ones like what you had and even as a fairly novice machinist could see and feel the flexing issues
Respect from the UK, morning or evening
love the Homeless Cam. as he runs around marking his favorite spots while looking for you.
Hi Kurtis , Karen and HBN I’ve been enjoying your program for years now , I’m no a welder or have I been in a machine shop , I’ve been a avid horse enthusiast for 55 years , I think what grabs me is your desire for excellence in every project , this aligns with my passionate endeavour to delve into the mind of a horse . Thankyou from Alberta Canada .
Team CEE rocks 💪🤟😉… all the best from 🇬🇧
Holy hell that thing is awesome. No wiggle. No jumping. It's like the Dorian but on steroids. Damn great job. Looks fantastic
Definitely worth the wait . Really enjoyable seeing you happy with the outcome . Absolutely brilliant close ups from our resident expert in videography Karen . However I'm surprised early in the video I heard a train pass by and there was no comment of "fuck off train "lol ..cheers guys looking forward to the next huge boring bar video (guess size does matter after all ) .
That cut you took with the boring bar when making the nut! With my whole one year of experience (no turning trade) operating a CNC lathe, I don't recall ever having the courage with boring bars! Great to see a job with you able to add your own personal touches. Great work!
Yay !! 🎉❤😅 it’s Karl and his incredible lathe operating kookaburra George. Karen, you made my year with your wonderful comment. You need to get more recognition for your incredible direction, production and editing. You guys make my week
/month/year with your videos.❤😊😍
Wait till Kurtis finds out Karl is with his wife. ;)
@@Horus9339 lmfao
@@Horus9339 😆
Funny cause Karl is my imaginary friend too!
Who is Karl? Don't tell Kurtis!
Homey Cam is just awesome! Its really smooth and stable given how much he is shaking it around! And the Homey POV plus Homey sounds is brilliant.
It is nice seeing a machinist do it yourself on items that you need.
With that said I don't know what made me chuckle more your facial expression when you're explaining the bearing cage or knowing homie was "establishing his territory"
Damm my Wight was kinda close 22.5kg. I still think this tool post is better than anything you could buy. Have a great weekend guys 😃😃
Brilliant project and it looks a pleasure to use. The “I’m going to need a bigger boring bar” comment made me laugh aloud, obviously not something I do a lot of at 0615, as I woke my wife who thought I was having a heart attack. 😂😂
Love the Homeycam clips, keep up the great work you two.
PS cant work out why I was 300g out on the fun comp, I must need a new guessometer.😊
I can remember in the 70s machining free cutting stainless and mild steel. Lovely. The first computerized lathe I worked on was hydraulic and programed with ball bearings. I love this job
Love the on board with homeless footage, I have decided after many years of admiring staffs that I will now make these great noises too as I move around this world.
I've been pondering why I like this channel so much, considering I know next to nothing about metalworking. Yeah, the hosts are awesome, alright. But still ... maybe I am simpler than I thought and just like shiny things ...
Anyway, as usual - have an effing brilliant weekend, people.
Friday morning (at least in the Netherlands 😁) and it’s CEE time! My favorite no nonsens machining channel 👍🏻
I can’t quite believe that I’m even leaving a comment but I feel like I have to. CEE has to be the best youtube channel out there by a long shot! I recommend to anyone who might be interested and sure enough they think the same. Thanks for taking the time to show us your work. T
RollsRoyce of Tool Posts! Kurtis the Nitride coating really makes the handle pop. Nice detail on the knob. Doggie Cam is fun to watch.
The new tool post looks awesome!
Outtakes are cracking me up this week too. 😁
A beautiful "Piece of kit", beautifully filmed. We can see how proud you are of it - and rightfully so!💙👍🏻😀😀
love the moment when you srsly bring that huge boring bar in this small tool post.
looking pretty good.
A brilliant bit of kit as always. You truly are a master machinist . Since clearly you are an integral part of Australian east coast mining operations, I propose that the government should field 24 hour body guards for you, to insure that nothing happens to you... :-) Love the Homey cam, and also loved your wife's laugh when you put the gauge on the round stock and it was spinning like a top....
Nice to hear, that there will be another job for in-house use, I always enjoy building things for my own use and as your reaction to the coated toolpost you seem to enjoy it too.
Great video as always!!
Always a pleasure to watch and great way to start the weekend! Thanks again
Glad you enjoy it!
Excellent job Kurtis my friend, Love watching you work and much love to your lovely wife the video editor and camera lady.
I love the Homey cam!!!! Big props to whoever sent that.
You amaze me every time I watch one of your videos. Best camera work on the internet. Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. You both are amazing to watch. You deserve all the accolades you get.
Hell yah! I was waiting for this one!!! I love your channel. I’m a welder who wants to start my own welding/ fabrication business. Seeing your content gives me so many ideas and confidence about my future shop.
Awesome mate all the best with it!
I have no machining skills at all, but CEE videos make me want to try it.
Hi, I am in the UK and must say that it is an absolute pleasure to what you work. I might add that watching you is addictive, I have seen a lot of dawns breaking. Most enjoyable. My compliments to a VERY skilled man
I dont know if there's any machining operation more satisfying than single-point threading.
Maybe fly cutting, but you rarely if ever see fly cutters now because of how far tooling had come.
Nothing like seeing a huge fly cutter at work.
That handle and dowel pin looks amazing, better than a factory made part for sure. Great job !!!
I just noticed you are above 500k subscribers. Congratulations!!! I have no idea how you run your business, produce content, edit, stay married, and still have time to pet the puppy. You do a really great job of education and choosing interesting things to film. Thank you so much for your efforts and I’m glad you are getting the recognition for all that you do. David Uher, Menomonie, WI
Thanks David! We definitely aren't scared of some hard work 😎👊
yeah. I'm a darn good woodworker, and like machines, but I'm NOT in any way a machinist. So why watch this? I mean the dog is cute, and think his video person is nice, but? Well, he is a good talker, better machinist, really seems to know what he is doing, has the right tools to do the job right and seems like he must set it up to make everything go perfectly. Perhaps he does. Sure makes it look like he has it all thought out. And apparently his customers think so too. So they are great videos. I watch most of these all the way thru. I guess others like it too.
Shop made tools has always been my favorite, but homeless almost stole the show with his tour of the grounds 👍
Uses the biggest boring bar I've ever seen . . . then finishes with "think I'm gonna need a bigger boring bar" :D Hard to comprehend the scale you work at Kurtis! The tool post holder looks awesome :)
Another amazing episode. Kurtis, I really enjoy these Shop Made Tools videos. You manage to put most manufacturers to shame, and the pride you have in your workmanship really shows. Also, probably doesn't need to be said at this point, Karen's camerawork and editing are on point. As always. Can't wait for next week's' ep!
The tool post looks fantastic. Great job!
Again Kurtis and Karen I’m in Ore if these amazing machines and the new post is a work of art Kurtis you know that I’m. Joiner and there’s nothing more pleasing is making your own tools in house there’s no other pleasure in making and using your own shop made tools I’m blowing away with all the process and these magnificent machines absolutely love your videos Kind and Best regards from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️
Nothing more satisfying than making useful tools for your own workshop😎
That tool post is a piece of art.
Man that's some beautiful work! Hobbyist fabricator here, and really enjoy your builds!
Well done Curtis that is beautiful,a friend of mine was a Machinist which is why I enjoy watching you ,so much talent .keep up the great work .
Homeless + Gopro = HomeGo or HomePro... can't decide. Awesome job. Some people have a hard time speaking words... You are doing great.
What a neat project. I feel like this is one of the first "real world" projects I've seen that I wish I could accomplish at home. Things as simple as making the handle, details like counter sinking the handle itself, to the knurling on the pin.... You my friend are supremely talented. Being a weight lifter, the first thing that came to mind was the ability to build my own barbell. What a nerdy accolade that would be!
If you are still inclined on those home-made barbells, you can use PVC pipe and fill it with sand. Would make for a nice afternoon project since PVC is easy to work with.
For something heavier you can use black iron water/gas pipes. They screw together and have flanges with holes so you can have a basic handle and then screw whatever you feel like to it for actual weight. I hear concrete is pretty heavy :D Use large paper cups, cake pans, or whatever else disposable you have for moulds, then just press the end of the handle into it and let cure. Next day do the other side, and just like that you'll have some heavy AF DIY barbells! (if going that last route, i suggest sticking in a couple self-drilling screws around each end, less chance of that concrete potentially sliding off after a while)
Brilliant as ever Kurtis. Cracking finish to the handle. All the best.
I was this many years old when i figured out there is a foot pedal to stop the threading. I've wondered how you coordinated your movements and stopped it so precisely. Cool
I never knew these things existed, some how I feel greater by now knowing they do.
A nice build. Great work. Also like the bit where the tool clips the chuck jaws :) (13:36). Here I was thinking I must be super rough cause it happens to me some times... Looks like even the best of us can do that!
That turned out excellent and the stainless steel contrasts with the post. Well done 👍😁🇦🇺
Back in 1966 I assigned ea of six high school seniors in the vocational machine shop program to machine tool posts similar to yours for the six Leblond 13"X36" engine lathes. They had a blueprint with the base, the swivel, the top nut and the handle. These did not have the locking pin (a very nice touch) nor the thrust bearing. All six tool blocks finished looked alike, worked on any of the six lathes. It really brought back some good memories. In the next three years advisors for our advisory committee had them make similar tool posts for lathes in their respective tool and die shops. One of those shops hardened the main blocks for the ones in our shop and the new ones we made after that. I used to have pictures of those but can't find those pics.
You are the best lather i never see !!! BRAVO !!!
Awesome job and video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe 🙏
Thank you! Will do!
👍 I have enjoyed these videos showing the machining and entire build of your new tool post. You must be very proud how this project turned out; it is easy to see how you always take great pride in your professional machinist skills.
Pure artist in your workshop.
The TP is a thing of beauty! May it never be scratched.
