(AD FREE) These Will Save My Parts
Added 2023-08-31 14:00:04 +0000 UTCOut with the old and in with the new. I'm finally making a more camera appropriate set of soft jaws for the lathe. But whatever you do, don't ask me how long they took to make.
Enjoy!

Not a bad idea! Might make for a good side project the first time I have to go and swap them for something softer π

2023-09-06 02:09:11 +0000 UTCYou should definitely make a tool for removing the pins without damaging either the pin or the soft jaw. Sortof like a plastic drift punch but maybe with something that slips over the steel to keep the punch aligned? A good use case for a 3d printed tool, I think

2023-09-02 00:02:51 +0000 UTCOoo lead! I didn't think of that. Thanks James!
Brandon Sander
2023-09-02 00:02:38 +0000 UTCAbsolutely Erik! Thank you again for sending them (and everything else π ) I have no doubt I'll be using them a lot. I wish I took matrix algebra at U. I had several classes that needed it for the coursework and just pieced together enough to get by. And then made the mistake of taking linear algebra my final semester π I don't really know where that idea came from. Sometimes things just pop in my head!

2023-09-01 23:59:51 +0000 UTCYou would honestly have a faster result with that method π I spent SOO LONG milling those out! That's exactly what a binder of drawings is for. There when you're ready!
Brandon Sander
2023-09-01 23:57:19 +0000 UTCThe way I've kind of looked at it is that if there are a lot of repetitive calculations to do, there's usually a way to do them with matricies. Would be worth just being familiar enough with how they are used

2023-09-01 23:54:42 +0000 UTCThe script writing in this was *chefs kiss*. The speedo joke, jaw-ometry, etc. Iβm only a few minutes in and I had to stop and comment!

2023-09-01 02:06:23 +0000 UTCMasterful - just great. I was fabricating a part for a vintage car restoration this morning, decided my aluminum jaw covers might mar the finish, and had to dig out a set of lead pads - love the interchangeable insert design !

2023-08-31 20:49:04 +0000 UTCOh Brandoon, you do spoil us π When you told me you actually used the gauge pins for a project already, I doubt I would've ever guessed what the project was, and yet, as always - I'm pleasantly surprised. As well as that, the shoutout definitely made my day π P.S. - the matrix algebra section gave me PTSD style flashbacks to my second year of university, so thanks for that π P.P.S. - the use of the square tool for the rouded corners in the boring head is absolutely brilliant. I think I might have to borrow that idea at some point.

2023-08-31 19:52:58 +0000 UTCSide note, i am returning home with final materials needed to complete the foundry. As fun as it looks to machine all those pockets, it just seems perfect for an attempt with a casting and machined to dimension. May be a while yet, like all the projects i have in my 'binder o' drawings' that largely say Inheritance Machining in the bottom right corner, but i will let you know how it goes.

2023-08-31 19:31:35 +0000 UTCWell, i now have a new subject to study in my spare time. Matrix algebra. Never heard of it, but i have a graphing calculator i bought on impulse thinking, surely this will come in handy someday. Thank you for giving me an excuse to call that thought true!

2023-08-31 19:17:39 +0000 UTCSee, I'm one of "those guys." The ones that expect things to last forever. So when I see replaceable wear components, I like. Simple as.

2023-08-31 18:03:54 +0000 UTCOh I love steampunk. I definitely take a little inspiration from that with some of my builds π Thanks!
Brandon Sander
2023-08-31 17:45:41 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I follow. How could you mill the pockets horizontally?

2023-08-31 17:13:25 +0000 UTCAgree with Robβ¦early views=over sooner. The mix of materials are very Steampunkish. Wonder how you would build the Nautilus? Lots of brass, copper, rounds and chamfered edges. I sense you have a little Captian Nemo in you π. Thanks for another great episode.

2023-08-31 16:12:37 +0000 UTCInstead of cutting the pockets out vertically go in horizontally ? Then clean out which ever way.

2023-08-31 15:49:59 +0000 UTCThanks, Craig! New skills as in what not to do π
Brandon Sander
2023-08-31 15:49:25 +0000 UTCThanks man! If I'm honest that's one aspect I spend a ton of time on. It's tricky getting things to be both functional and good looking. Good luck on the puzzle!
Brandon Sander
2023-08-31 15:49:01 +0000 UTCI read your mind apparently haha yeah I think these are going to be one of my very frequently used tools. Almost ever lathe job of mine ends up needing soft jaws of some sort
Brandon Sander
2023-08-31 15:47:46 +0000 UTCTrue π Yeah, I'm finally getting to the point where I'm having to replace the tooling that I inherited. Not cheap!

2023-08-31 15:44:24 +0000 UTCMay be your best video yet. Saw some new skills showcased.
Craig Jackson
2023-08-31 15:18:25 +0000 UTCI absolutely love how you push the extreme envelope of aesthetics in all your work and the function is (usually) perfect. Can't wait for this long weekend so I can have a go at making your captive nut puzzle. Thanks for everything you do. This channel is truly inspiring.

2023-08-31 15:17:36 +0000 UTCI was a while back gonna comment about maybe making some soft jaws. Never got around to it but here you are having made some really cool jaws. They are more useful in a manual machine shop and I am guessing youβll be getting a good bit of use out of them even if they likely wonβt pay off in time investment any time soon like the rounding fixture
