"Maybe you're metal curious?" I got that reference and fell out my chair laughing
Comment from : chriskazaglis

You are subtly hilarious I hope you know that lmao
Comment from : cisuris

I think $1500 is what I spent on my bridgeport almost ten years ago My lathe is a Logan 820, but it was free All I've had to do was buy tooling
Comment from : Homeskillet359

Good info for a very basic overviewturning ain't something you can learn on the Tube I'm not only a CNC machinist but also a machine tool builder last working for Haas Automation You lead with safety, which is good but ya really gotta hammer home the fact that you have to be extremely careful around any machinery Especially a mini lathe with no door between you n the workpiece brEverything needs to be tight or it can come flying right at you I have a 7x12 Vevor Mini n for $425 they're hard to beat Rough around the edges but I can fix that n make it hum 😊
Comment from : Glockasaurus Wrex

Excellent, logical rundown of getting started in metal work Of course, where you are poses a completely different set of problems A ground floor garage or shed is really a must for the big stuff I have a spare bedroom in a social housing block so am a bit scuppered on the heavy noisy stuff Above ground floor you can't even hammer on a table it creates so much vibration
Comment from : Patrick Smith

thx learned a lot
Comment from : buzz patch

You are awesome You speak clearly and slow enough so I can understand you easily as a non-native speaker In addition, as I'm no machinist but an interested hobbyist crafter, everything you say makes absolutely sense Looking forward to watching further videos of yours Keep up the great work Greetings from Germany

Thank you for making this Not sure my account will be happy, but you’ve answered the hardest part
Comment from : Machine Man

I love this video so much It's so helpful I managed to get an old atlas mini lathe that I had to restore It really shouldn't cut steel but I threw titanium at it and it just runs right through it Single point thread cutting, hardened steel, just anything as long as it's not too big The best part is that it barely cost me anything aside from the time and parts to restore the thing
Comment from : Thedudeamongmen Gs

There is a world of precision below the sixteenth had me :)
Comment from : Rick Ellis

I started my tool and die career 43 years ago, and also taught high school machine shop along the way It's sad how school systems have disemboweled practically every shop class in the past thirty years Keep up the great work!
Comment from : StonesAndSand

Wow! Your approach is amazing Any beginner Python introduction recommendations that mirror your spirit? ;) (yeah, I watched the interview - great stuff!)
Comment from : Tome4kkkk

Below the sixteenth eh
Comment from : michael clark

Watched, great content Impressive list Thanks
Comment from : Bob Blankenship

Not sure I agree with your reasoning on why the lathe is best to start with, but it definitely is I started with a Bridgeport mill, and when I got a lathe, I was amazed at how useful it was And as I was once told, the lathe is one of the few machine tools that can reproduce itself
Comment from : wires99

I'm an RN and have been metal curious for a while watching a assortment of your videos, I just ordered a small Minila The and tooling Thanks for the education and encouragement! I have no idea what I'm doing but hope to learn some new skills and make something cool!
Comment from : Hind135

hey thank you for this video means a lot! Cheers!

Comment from : Sad Der

Thank you for creating this video
Comment from : JimmyStewpot

I would be that wood worker you mentioned
Comment from : Carl

Yes, limited space, bedroom I have a Sherline Lathe/Mill combination machine however it cuts only wood, plastic and soft metals What is available on a desktop scale that will cut steel like 440C, O1, D2, 1095 carbon hardenable steel , small pieces?
Comment from : NORMAN BRADLEY

I think you've exceeded the limit of common sense allowed in a single youtube video
Comment from : Gamey Gamer

Have plenty of stuff for sale machinist tools for sale brMicrometers, set up, Lathe tooling, end mills, drills, HSS, carbide, cobalt, etc brPlenty of inspection tools as well Some stuff is nearly brand new
Comment from : Emily Dahlia

Quick side mark for moving heavy stuff Bring professional help and tools, don't try to MacGyver it There was a guy a few blocks away who was squashed by a lathe, they tried to move it with hydraulic jacks and wooden blocks
Comment from : Cavalier HU

I was looking at Vevor that had a lathe that honestly listed it's lifetime at 3 years well that's honest
Comment from : Philip Leitch

Wait, what's that with 3 or 4 jaw chuckwhy can't I flip a part and turn end to end in both? I guess I don't understand what end to end turning means, but what does the 4 jaw chuck do that the 3 jaw doesn't?
Comment from : Lindenhoch

Excellent video for someone totally new to machining (from woodworking)
Comment from : Ethan Weiss

So nice to see a non man doing this, I have so many questions! I am also a lady machinist (apprentice for now) and it's inspiring to see you, not only succeeding, but instructing I'm definitely gonna go through all your content Thanks for the class
Comment from : TheMarmax13

Thanks
Comment from : Mark Doyle

Oh God, I'm subscribing I don't have room for a lathe I don't have room for a lathe I don't havewell, maybe I can just
Comment from : hermand

I am a new lathe operator for a year now! I have learned so much from your videos Thank you for making them You gave me the gift of your expertise Thank you
Comment from : 358trucking

Which mini lathe machine is best for home use, Norton gear or variable speed Chinese lathe machine
Comment from : Akum Amer

Not a machinist, but I watch several channels and I didn't realize there was a spotting drill Seems like everyone I follow uses a center drill to spot I'll have to watch a little closer
Comment from : jjsjeffjjsjeff

So, I just pulled the trigger on the Precision Matthews 1022V because of you I really enjoy your videos I have learned a ton from you and you are appreciated
Comment from : Radioactive Antennas

How about a video of someone who's never had a lathe and just bought an entire dead machinists company collection? I have everything but starting fresh with only TOTs lingo
Comment from : Andrew Yanke

Screaming banshees of dust and deathlove that lol
Comment from : Bud Williams

As a woodworker, the idea of a measurement more accurate than a sixteenth is mind boggling
Comment from : zamplify

Great video!
Comment from : Justin Spencer

You are brilliant, I can tell just by the way you just flow speaking of technical stuff, thx for making this video I do agree we must be careful with some Asian imports but others are good
Comment from : KUKULCANGOD

Soooooo informative! Thanks and well done 👍👍
Comment from : Andrew Fryhover

Just the video for which I was looking!
Comment from : Craig Russell

Your 100 right, kno what u wanna build haha I bought 9×22 grizzly lathe and a nice grizzly mill and I have no idea what to make most of the time I'm running out of things to put brass knobs on 🤣
Comment from : Ballzmckgee

3:24 "dreams of cutting slots" that's the truest thing I've read all day 🤣🤣
Comment from : Mr Sims

I just bought my first mini lathe, for exactly the reason of space, but it can cut thread, variable speed etc, very nice, and it cant take the quick change cuting bit holder thing, so, i bought one, and made it fit😬, am definitely going to watch your videos
Comment from : Hannes Grobler

What do you think of those combined machines in which they can turn and mill? would they be worth it?
Comment from : Wustavo

You're right on the lathe first and the floor standing drill press I too got caught up and bought a mill first A bunch of parts would be much easier to make on a lathe, and my late model Craftzman bench drill press is junk King of runout and vibration
Comment from : Button Puncher

You are awesome I have to admit when I first saw your channel I'm like: "Hope this isn't another 'over compensate women'" (Kindsa like the short man syndrome, only worse) Your concise, and straight to the point and talk on the hobyist level, versus the guys with the state of the art mega costly machines talking down to us peons Thank you so much! I'll be sure to patreon you
Comment from : Ell Kir

This is a valuable video I just recently got an American made bench top lathe that I traded a huge compressor that I picked up for free off Facebook marketplace and have been learning My problem is finding material that's not real expensive
Comment from : Shaun

"Screaming Banshis of Dust and Death" Made my day, had to pause the video due to laughter and yes I will be using that - tyvm
Comment from : John S

Very interesting presentation with wide range very useful and relevant information included Excellent video, many thanks and warm greetings from France
Comment from : STohme

Thanks for sharing l always learn something from you!!!
Comment from : danny steele

I had a friend inventory my toolbox and spent $23,000 on tools after about 4 months he was mad because he found out that experience didn't come with it
Comment from : Bigboybuilder

I found your comment about buying more and more tools as a means to work your way out of "the"hole" very funny I know what you were referring to, but it caught me off guard
Comment from : Liberty or Death

"Rigidity is the ballgame in machining" This is such a great, succinct axiom of the machining world I appreciate that you give very clear rationale to support your suggestions!
Comment from : Kevin OMalley

What in the world? How much did you pay Tony’s hands to narrate your video??brbrJoking aside, great video I’ve been hooked by your builds and loving the thought about my own tools Not yet, but this gets me a step closer Thanks for putting this and all your other stuff up ❤
Comment from : Tim Gibson

I look forward to seeing a video of your dog's projects!!!! brGreat video (as usual) - here's my LIKE madam
Comment from : Erick Alpizar

Thanks!
Comment from : fender7802

You've done a lot of work on the video, and I truly appreciate it
Comment from : Luvstruck

Very helpful
Comment from : Ken Burnette

Grateful for the video, but crabbing that my number 5 plane is generally set to 0035, so towards twenty passes to take off a 1/16"! :) If it ever interests you, consider looking into hand tool woodworking It's very precise There's no machinery There's no sanding And the best tools ever made are now all available off the shelf Again, I'm grateful for this video Thanks
Comment from : Michael ODonnell

Great video! The advice you gave on drills and reamers is the same I give on router bits and drills to wood workers Now I am hopping over to that lathe playlist you mentioned Cheers and thanks for sharing
Comment from : Nomad Makes

Used older machines are also extremely region specific In states that never really had a strong history in manufacturing, you won't really be able to find as much used tooling than, say Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Virginia You will also likely have issues with older American or European machines unless the owner was excellent on the maintenance, that's just the nature of buying a machine that has likely been around since the Second World War With the imports, you truly get what you pay for (for the most part) Grizzley likes to cheap out on their more "hobby" grade machines, and tend to not pay attention to QC whatsoever I would primarily look at either the Precision Matthews machines or even the lathes from LMS This is honestly such a great "machining for dummies" video
Comment from : Khyber Machinist

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world
Comment from : ANDREW SAMARAKONE

Love it…concise information for those with a passion to learn about machining
Comment from : Aaron Clark

So I had just about convinced myself to buy a mill and now I'm looking for a decent quality lathe or maybe a lathe mill combo?
Comment from : Graham Jamieson

Really nice job of placing everything, where they need to be What I mean is that you have everything in place, in accord with you do the most, and by doing that you make the most of what you have One thing you mentioned is very important and that light; people don't realize how important lighting is, it gets rid of shadows which can not only mak your work more difficult, but ruin what ever you're working on Funny though, shadows are important in art work such as in paintings and all that Anyway, thank you, I really enjoyed the tour of your shop If I may, with your permission, I would like to ask everyone out there to please keep the buzz in the bottle, do not drink and drive, it really doesn't mix well at all and it can have devastating results I wish everyone has a very happy, and safe holiday season
Comment from : francesco zambuto

Hi Quinn!! How about a good vise? Which one do you recommend?
Comment from : Enrique Santa Cruz Polanco Cabrales

I asked my machine tool instructor "if he could only have one of the tools in the shop what would it be?" He replied "Lathe" His reasoning was with a bit of effort he could do almost everything you could do on a mill with a lathe As well as if he needed to he can use a lathe to build a mill Or other machines
Comment from : Inert Productions Alternate

Great info! I'm currently working on setting up a home shop Southbend heavy 10, bridgeport series 2 and am looking for the right surface grinder toobrMy dad a 35 year tool and die machinist thinks 10th indicators arent worth it either!
Comment from : Travis T

I do think the very best thought you articulated: have a project in mindbrbrI love the iidea/i of machining I am interested in it, I would love to have a shop I could wander into and 'fiddle around', but - when I sit and think, "what do you want to make and why?" I don't really have a good answer I mean, I kind of do - I would like to make a hit-or-miss engine, for example, because I am (vaguely) interested in how internal combustion engines work Similarly for various steam and sterling engines But - am I interested enough to want to spend several thousand dollars on it? Ehhhhhh Well Er brbrI am interested in toolmaking, but again, am I ithat/i interested?brbrYes - and, I have enough unfinished projects that my wife trips over that I should probably not add any more!brbrAnd - I iam/i interested enough to love your video series!
Comment from : Eric Riley

Great Information - thanks
Comment from : Phil Sanguedolce

Does anyone out there know of a site that evaluates the relative quality of Asian machine tool brands? (Big, possibly unanswerable question)
Comment from : Mark Proulx

So, basically, size matters?
Comment from : Redux Garage

Great video as I'm a beginner thanks
Comment from : Patrick mcevoy

Really, really useful - many thanks
Comment from : Sam Crossley

Stop with your HANDS it’s just not necessary
Comment from : jeffrey Hohenshledt

24:18 Do you have a video that covers what machines you should purchase if you want to machine steels? Are there lathes for steel that might be best for the home user?
Comment from : Glenn

Super helpful! You are spot-on with addressing the hobbyist perspective (of which I am one) Great advice Thank you
Comment from : Tim ONeal

I just came across your channel, what a breath of fresh air, thank you! I'm a newbie, I was wrestling with getting one the big dogs, but after watching you, I just ordered a mini, the 87" x 295" with digital variable speed and a 15" through hole diameter on Ebay for $1266 I'll get used to using this one and we'll see where it goes I have a furniture shop and metal fab shop where occasionally I need a specific part or just want to make metal shavings Could you specify on the 4-jaw chuck, do you recommend independent jaws or otherwise? Thanks again, looking forward to watching and learning from your experienceyou're a very good teacher! Tight lines always!
Comment from : Capt K

Proper job ! Thanks
Comment from : MKDy

Standard Modern Lathes are pretty goodmade in Canadaaren't you Canadian?
Comment from : J Roger

I would like a lathe with a pass through head that can handle 4 inch pipe I just can't afford one!
Comment from : John Papa

i bought a cheap drill set (metric here) and a sharpener for 60 bucksbrhaven't bought a new drill in years
Comment from : Chris Kwakernaat

This is awesome Imagine what might happen if we introduced all young ladies to machining I think we'd be living in a totally different world
Comment from : You Dont Want To Know

wow i think your a transgender doing metal work voice gives you away be honest now your not a real woman full in stealth ahaha
Comment from : RC Custom Trucking Australia

The Precision Mathew’s machines that size are at the top of my listvery good quality for the money
Comment from : james Somerled

I must say , your dead right , the journey of learning is the point , the satisfaction is is the finished job The fun in between is the gain Making shit fit lol
