Has anyone seen this Lathe video??

[Ringo]

What do you think of this one?
Is he milling on a lathe?
Not horizontal mill on lathe,
Milling on lathe?

This fascinates a guy like me,
I can get a bourbon or scotch and sit and just watch it......

Brian has to see this.... thats amazing. Personally I can't go that small, but the man is a pure craftsman

[Tim Clarke]

I like it! Wonder how oops parts he made......

[wierdscience]

He's good with that zip wheel and grinder.

[BCRider]

Not milling. Just very educated turning. The work was always held and turned by the chuck or a fixture in the chuck. "Milling in the lathe" would entail holding the work in a vise or other fixturing on the tool post or with the aid of a vertical travel slide and turning the cutter with the headstock. No signs of that here. Just a well thought out sequence of operations.....


And I have to wonder how much time was spent coming up with all the ideas and sequence.

In particular I really like the use of a tapered arbor for the work holding in the last few operations.

Thanks for posting the link Ringo. That was a very entertaining and educational video. I'm going to look up the rest of the vids on this build.

I don't think he owns a mill. I've only ever seen him make parts on a lathe. Get your scotch out and fire up this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IEGmD_aV3w

I posted a specific video on his connecting rods

[brian Rupnow]

Those are beautiful connecting rods. The connecting rods I make are much simpler, and since no one ever sees them, they are not pieces of art. I admire people who take the time to make such beautiful pieces, but the only important parts of a con rod to me are the bore diameters in each end, the center to center distance, and the width. I do use a fixture plate to mount the con-rod to for reducing the width except for an extended boss on each side of the big end.---Brian

The thing I love about videos like that is, there is always some cool setup that I would never have thought of.

He made quite a few of those rods, must be a V12 or something he is working on. He has the skill, thats for sure.

Does anyone know the name of the music in that UV glue commercial video? Normally I hate music in videos, but I like that, and it's not competing with any speech, since the message appears in text.

Answered my own question looking at some of his other videos. That guy is a world class engine builder and craftsman !
