I’m definitely going to try something similar on my homemade wood lathe.

It’s definitely not powerful enough for metal but this gave me an idea nothing obviously as fine or small as this but something creative.

This is funny and entertaining to watch. Now I’m retired, but I worked 43 years in a metal workshop milling, turning, boring, welding and so on.

First 10 years with manual machines and then with.

I think metal working (same as woodwork) is a bit underrated profession in these days. I was always excited of my work.

I love how this video showed everything we needed to know in less than five minutes.

Bravo!This video is the perfect example of why I love machining videos, I just wish every machining channel on youtube took the time and effort to achieve the level of cinematography that you’ve accomplished here.

Well done.I could see a really cool desk lamp being made using this method on a larger stock piece, maybe cutting a pocket out on the end pieces for electronics, etc.

This is awesome!I have a friend who’s been doing machining for some 45+ years.

He has his own shop and all. You’re the second person I’ve seen making this kind of part. I saw him making an almost similar part for a cargo ship.

The captain of the ship thought it had to be done by molding but my friend told him he can cut the piece from a chunk of metal. After seeing the part the guy’s jaw was dropped. This was around 30 years ago.
