The deep purple blue color tool steel gets when tempered is so gorgeous that it completely captivates me every time it develops in front of my eyes.
Yes, it never gets boring :)
Kind of like smoke on the water?
Sorry. Couldn’t resist, or am I too old?
grinding heavy chunks of bar and getting the different levels of oxide across the depth of the scratches always had me wanting to strip a car bonnet back, leave it rough sanded with #36, throw it in an oven til its just right, then clearcoat it...
It doesn't matter that I'll never need tools like these. I'm just fascinated by the skill, artistry, patience and beauty of it all.
Watching you is simply mesmerizing. Love it. Your narrations speak effectively about the processes without being boring or pedantic. THANK YOU!!
As a watchmaker i realy appreciate your channel. This is several steps beyond what i do with clocks and watches.
Jewlers hammers are a stunning thing of beauty Chris. Outstanding.
i think ive become enlightened. flashy gaming videos dont keep my attention anymore, but this shure as hell, did
Like my dad said, "Do as good as you can, a bad would comes by itself".
Well, what I see, was done almost perfect.
I've never touched a lathe, but these videos are so interesting. I guess just watching a master at work is always fascinating.
The precission...
Agreed. Such talented hands.
you should really try it, it's so much fun
Clickspring is the reason I bought a lathe. If he can make a clock, I can try for the rest of my life
Plus you never know when the stuff you learn here comes in handy.
Man the stuff you make always just comes out absolutely beautiful, I've been subbed to your channel for years and I still can't get over how great everything comes out! Much love and respect.
If I had a hammer that beautiful, I would use another one for hammering.
If you don't have a dedicated Granite or any kind of surface plate a sheet of Tempered Glass works great as a surface plate, they're extremely flat and fairly cheap. 👍👍
Just remember you can't cut tempered glass, so buy the size you need!
I love shop-made tools, regardless of which task it's for. For me it's more exciting actually than the final product.
I made your scriber as my first project years ago. I was just showing it off as such to a city inspector who was checking out my new water heater, then afterward admiring my shop. (He used to be a professional machinist). Sadly, he doesn't have a shop now. That has to hurt!
I sympathize. I grew up in a house with a very basic workshop. Dad had built a big hulking shop table with vices and dogs and such. But, I've lived my entire adult life in apartments. So, I only work the tiniest projects and get the rest of my joy vicariously through CZcamsrs like ClickSpring and This Old Tony.
@@TesserId That This Old Tony also consistently delivers a string of laughing fits on top of the interesting project he's doing is a nice bonus.
@@andersjjensen True, so true. Tony always gets me laughing. In contrast, Chris has this gentle soothing voice. I should probably use his vids to go to sleep by.
Even just that tip about correcting the drift of a cut using a safe edge blew my mind. Thank you so much
I have a stone like the one shown @ 9:29, but just a bit smaller, it was my fathers, no one I have shown it to has ever seen one. I can put a razor edge on a good knife with it.It's got to be 90 years old at least.
Can't be beaten. The filming and editing are top-notch.
Cheers Chris, it is a wonderful thing a Maker of your skill and knowledge is willing to put it out there for us all to learn from. Thank you
Love these so much! Small tip from a blacksmith, the hole for the handle can be tapered wider at the top, this gives an iron grip on the head. I use a 3 degree tapered milling bit for this, or for the final pass!
Those tools are too beautiful to use.
I've been a subscriber since making the Antikythera mechanism several years ago.
I'm still fascinated by the tools you make to make other things.
I was a motorcycle technician but you show several 'crossover' type tools that could be useful for small parts (actually inspired me to make new parts to repair a horn button for a 1965 Suzuki instead of buying a not very good looking and expensive reproduction)
I had never thought of using a hot air gun for blueing, that is a fantastic idea!
Thanks for the video's
I don't know how you can justify taking all your tools to such a visually gorgeous finish when they're just going to get marred by regular use, but I can't say I argue with the results.
The holes through hammerheads are typically tapered with the narrow end towards the handle. This ensures that, when inserting the wedge, the head isn’t only fixed to the handle through friction, but also by shape since the wood physically expands to fit the tapered hole.
Now, i’m a blacksmith, so the hammers i use tend to be abused a bit more than this shop hammer, so i can’t see the extra difficulty of machining this hole tapered being worth it.
I am a machinist that occasionally uses small hammers delicately: the taper is absolutely required. Small impacts combined with normal variations in temperature and humidity will work the head loose from the handle in a dozen strikes, or a few months sitting idle in the drawer (zero strikes!) without the taper. I have discovered this by using cheap hammers, of ~ 1oz and less, which had no taper to the hole. It doesn't seem to matter how many wedges/what type of handles I try, it always works loose. This hammer in this video may not have required as much taper as was used, but since the taper is only front to back, and not also side to side, I think it was probably wise to go a little overboard.
Even your tools are works of art. I wish I had taken a machine shop class in school.
I wish I had more time at home to mess with my benchtop lathe and little vert mill. It's actually a really old Linley Jig Bore machine but functions nearly the same and works for light duty benchtop mill type work. After putting 10-12 hours as a professional machinist then coming home and doing family stuff with the kids I'm just spent by nightfall. Anymore my machines and 3d printers and all those tools are there as needed for right now when something needs modified or fixed up. Definitely grateful to have them and the skill to use them though. Until I get more time you're videos vicariously satisfy my want to make stuff.
Chris, watching your amazing work has got me itching to get my first lathe.
And I must say the purple/blue on the tool steel hammer head is sexy AF.
Excellent video! Stuff like this is the key to growing the machining hobby. It's so empowering to be able to make your own tools.
Great video as usual Chris. Just starting to come back into the fitting and machining fold, I can't help but notice you are emphasising some very important foundations of machine shop work. This sort of work is also a great way to confirm equipment is properly set up whilst getting to know equipment idiosyncrasies. The more we conquer the basics, the more enjoyable complicated projects become.
I have found some old hand tools that I made during my apprenticeship and they have slipped seamlessly back into my daily life - and the fun fact is that buying them today would probably reach four figures.
Great to have you watching Doug
I loved watching this , just absolutely mesmerising
I am always in awe when I see your work (craftmanship and video content creation). Words are missing to describe it, I would say : exquisite work. Thank you very much for this
stone types video would be nice please
That safe-edge file is new to me and I love the idea of it. I'm going to grind myself one. Thanks, Chris!
Gotta say Click 😏
I love your videos and admire your tools 😊 they're beautifully entertaining 😊
But you do have a high bar set 😏👍
Amazing work, so much attention to detail. 👍
Another good way to set up that hammerhead in the mill vise for the angled cut is to rest a parallel flat on top of the vise jaw and line up the scribe line by eye with it. Then when you take the parallel away, the scribe line is still .125" (or whatever your parallel thickness is) above the vise. Obviously this doesn't work if it needs to be a super precise angle, but I used to teach an intro to machining class and one of the projects was a very similar hammer and it was good enough for that.
Wonderful video! I've made some scribes as gifts but keep forgetting to make more than one for myself.
Perhaps the only trick missed was not putting a slight crown on the hammer faces, it certainly changes how using a hammer feels.
It's a very subtle difference in appearance, but seems to make all difference when using a hammer.
Dont jewelers hammers have a flat head?
Yep, any other hammer would have the crown though
So good, I’m watching it at least twice. . . .
Thanks for sharing great idea please give me more
Thanks for showing. Very enjoyable video.
Regards.
Steve.
Nicely made tools for the workshop.
A hammer, of course, is the best tool for applying ham to a sandwich. If you want salami, however, it won't be helpful at all so keep that in mind...
No, you need a slammer for salami instead
@@joe-wt7oe And a pammer for pastrami I gather?
I'm mad at myself for taking so long to get the joke... 😂
@@geoffreyentwistle8176 😂😂😂
And in the end it doesn't matter because every tool has a hammer side.
I have two Clickspring scribers Chris. One must have come out of my apron pocket while in the back of the car (I belong to a Menz Shed so travel with q big tool box). I eventually found it, but I'd long since made another as I could not bare to be without it. You can never have too many hammers (I have a dozen or more) so I think your hammer design might be a future project.
He is a combination of an Australian Bob Ross and Michelangelo of the machining. His beautiful work and creations should be in the sixtine chapel for hand machinists.
Don't forget a linear impact driver.
On a serious note, tempering using a sand bed makes it extremely easy to get an even temperature. Especially if you're using a coal or coke forget. And it's a beauty for bluing small parts, I use them to blue hardware for guns.
Really comes into its own when you're bluing batch parts.
you are a wizard mister
D-bits are so fascinating. I guess I'll dive a little deeper in the topic. Thanks for the brilliant tips, Chris!
BLUE ME WHEN I DIE!!!
And not the dykote 😂
Fascinating to see you working with traditional methods ❤
Jewelry !!!!!
Thanks for this moment.
FORZA ✌️
Beautiful work as always, Chris. I'm not a machinist, but it is a distinct pleasure to watch someone so skilled ad their craft.
Your videos are always so compelling and interesting. Would love many more longer ones too pls.
I still have my scribe that I made with the original video. Used a rig welding tungsten electrode as my scribe because I always have them laying around and can easily sharpen them.
Great video. We made a few hammers based on your drawing for our shop and they have had lots of use! Thanks for sharing.
Delightful, thank you.
That's a mighty fine looking hammer. I wouldn't want to use it after all of that finishing!
Great video as usual, always love your explanations.
hand tools made with hand tools would be good video
I make scriper and hammer) this is really my favorite tools in shop ✊
Thanks for sharing Chris.
Brilliant video ! Love all your videos !
well done good job
would love an exampe of bench stones as well as the smaller stones that you recommend
Great work as alwyas.
Awesome video as always! I would love to see your tips & techniques for polishing. My efforts are always lackluster (heh, get it?). But your results are what I hope to achieve. Thanks for all the hard work you do to help us makers!
Another hammer project is a very small ball peen hammer (about 50-60 grams head weight), they're great for peening over rivets used in things like straight razors etc.
I'd never considered a heat gun for tempering. At least you can see the colour transition more easily.
Does get a little bit hot in the shop tho!
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Always a pleasure to watch gifted hands.
What is the tool used at 1:50 ?
Thanks from Bavaria
Yet another shop made tool - a 'polisher', just a strip of brass shaped and given a tang, then handle fitted. For us with polishing pastes and strips of abrasive paper - Cheers :)
@@Clickspring
Thanks for the reply. Nice and interesting tool.
Might be featured in a future episode ?
Cheers
Not even watched this yet and I've already liked it! 👍👍
A surgeon mate of mine taught me a wonderful thing when we were doing some furniture repairs together. He told me that a few years earlier he had changed his surgical technique to make stop making straight incisions and said 'there's no straight lines in nature'. Just as he does to make surgery scars less noticable, I now do the same with repair work in certain circumstances.
Awesome episode! Always amazed at how you skillfully make the simplest tools look like jewelry! I’m definitely going to give making these a shot.
Just add hexagon cap to that scribers, so they do not roll all over the desk, and fall of it of course :)
Bloody excellent video mate
Щиро дякую за відео!
Завжди приємно споглядати за високоякісною роботою Майстра, як перфекціоніст перфекціоністу😉
Успіхів у подальших проектах!
Боже бережи Вас!!!
Згоден на всі 100% !
This video was extremely helpful to me. Both for getting more robust and consistent press fits and for making one off tooling for various jobs around my shop/lab. thanks for making it.
Beauty!
Ficaram ótima,parabéns ,és um artista da usinagem.
I'd love to see your electroplating setup, thinking about adding one to my shop
Fantastic Skill
I've never been able to get non-HSS tooling to work decently on cutting steel parts. Some other people have more success but my tools just end up turning to mush. Maybe you could make a video about how to use normal high carbon steel to make tools for turning or milling steel? That's how it was all done before the 1940s, but there's not much info about how they did it without their tools wearing out extremely fast.
You call it a "scriber," but I know a Gom Jabbar when I see one!
I say this as a cabineteer:
Woodworkers: hickory is tough as nails, you don't wanna work it without some good blades. It's ornery.
Machinists: hickory is very pleasant to form...
Highly enjoyable and very inspiring to view 👌😀👍 ❗
Notification of a new Clickspring video? G'day indeed
These tools look so beautiful that I'd probably never use them
Very Cool!
👏👏👏👏👍 Very cool
One of these days, that little lathe is going to grow up to be a big boy.
I never considered that "picturesque" would one day be used in describing a workshop but that's one damn picturesque woodworking setup. That Bokeh...
I realised your another Aussie when I saw the XU branded heat gun. Maybe I shop at Bunnings too much.
Amazingly clear and inspiring instruction as always. Thank you. Question about the hammer eye: why is the eye straight and not hourglass shaped (or at least tapered). On an axe (my area of knowledge) this would cause problems. Is it because the hammers are small? Thanks again.
Thank you for yet another great video.
This is amazing! Thank you! Especially for that trick with measuring the angels on leather.
What great projects! Thanks for sharing this.
I was waiting for the blued steel hammer. Now to make my own. I would like to see your freehand turning and gravers
Great Job!!! Really enjoy your video!!😁
Thanks!
Cheers mate :)
Superb craftmanship as usual.
👍❤️ fascinating
always a joy to see a new video drop
