Hi all,
Here's a quick and easy project where I made some "self locking" height adjustment knobs for my lathe's quick change tool holder.
Thanks!

This is definitely the most asked comment on the video, and a great question.
The short version is, no it's a design flaw for sure.
However, it's not a show stopper.
You can just lift up the tool holder to get access and tighten, or add a washer to clock it in a different location, etc.
But the long version is, I'm gonna use these initial 3 for a little while taking note of this and any other issues I notice and then make a version 2.0 that addresses all of the issues in the future.
I already have some ideas for the next version.
Thanks very much for the watch and comment

You sure were patient repeatedly answering that same point in the YT comments. It's a good demonstration of Cunningham's Law though.

Haha, I've never heard of that before, but it's 100% accurate.
My wife said something similar, "I guess you can use YouTube as a way to check for flaws in your tool designs!" lol
Always looking for the bright side.
And yeah, I figure folks don't read other comments very often.
And I'm just grateful that they watched my video and took the time to post a comment, so it doesn't bother me so much when I look at it that way.
Cheers!

Maybe I the odd one out here (it does seem to happen) but I see no problem with the as supplied version that can't be fixed by the removal of the washer between the two nuts. Lock nuts should jam together, a washer in between destroys that. Remove the washer and the system works fine.
