A short video that shows two homemade tools to create a third one.

I can answer questions on any of them

I like that initial 'threading' thingy Clinton. The re-purposed what-ever-it-is

Hi,
Yes, same for me, the threading idea is great, I will keep that, and also the way you flute your reamer is really inspiring, I didn't have the idea to weld it temporarily while grinding it, that's the idea !
And also your adjustable reamer with the set screw and bit welded at the bottom, that's also a great idea !
Thanks for that !
Christophe

(question what kind of welding do you use, is it MIG ?)

Ahhh, the coil winding tool. I wound a double spiral coil to be used as a cold water condenser using it. The coil is depicted briefly in the video.

Yes, it's a little Lincoln 220V with an argon/co2 mix.
