Hey fellow tool enthusiasts,
A while back I pondered the possibility of making my own auto punch, well nothing ventured, nothing gained they say. Decided the best way to approach the task was to do the housing first then fit the insides. A lot of growling and screw ups later... If only our machines could talk!!

Cheers stevoh
Stevoh,
This is also a great motivational video for those considering the purchase of a lathe!
Thanks,
Rick
Most fun with a video I recall. Maybe second, but it's a long list.
Don't have to talk me into one [see left], but I really admire the concept and developing of a conversational thought process, and morphing Minnie's dialog.
Minnie, meet Mr. Demille, Cecil meet Minnie!
Literally I'm sitting here, imagining what voice conveys my machine...
Hey rick, every bloke should have a lathe, don't think I'll get any sponsorship from seig though, haha thanks
Thanks T51, glad u got a chuckle
Cheers
Originally filmed,aesthetically refined work, bravo..
Well done, thanks. I have one of those (General) and never have figured out how it works.
Great work stevoh, very nice demo showing how to use a lathe, that should be very helpfull to some of the newbees around here, you got my vote for tool of the week.
Doug
Brilliant Stevoh! I just mentioned that about talking with machines in a post the other day and I laughed out loud at least 4 times with your dialog, Bravo! Your videography was some of the best with shot selection and lighting and the printing animation was a hoot, perfectly timed. You elevated YT with your production, something sorely needed, imho!!
Your machine work was stunning and some of the best knurling I've seen here on HMT and you put a beautiful pommel on it, which should be on all spring loaded punches in my book. As Doug said a great tutorial/example too and you've got my vote for Tool of the Week also. Those are difficult to make and have them work properly as you demonstrated at the end. My hat's off to you for a Great Post, excellent videography and build...oh and that sketch was Beautiful...almost bristol board and ink worthy!
:clapping::thumbsup::cool: Made my morning...Thanks!
PJ

Thanks PJ for such a brilliant write-up, I agonized for days whether to go with the talking lathe thing, thought it was just too silly. My sparky friend convinced me it would be ok... Its his fault!! Haha
Cheers
The talking lathe might not do it for every thing one might want to relate about machine tools but it certainly works well in this case. Consider such approaches on a case by case basis.Quote:

I sometimes wish that I had a talking lathe, but it is started drawing up and printing off projects for me to to I'd pull its plug LOL
Well Deserved award, Steve and Minny :D That is an excellent instructional video.
A great video ending with a perfectly made tool, bravo!!

Simply awesome video Stevoh. Should be required watching for all those wanting to design, manufacture, and/or post videos.
I know several fellow "engineers" who carry the paper but don't know a knurling tool from a paperweight!
Definitely my vote for tool of the week!:thumbsup::clapping:
Walkman
Nothing quite as satisfying as watching a real Craftsman create a work of art. Well done, would be proud to own one like that. My lathe skills are limited to simple wood projects.
