Hi Neal, i'm still learning every time i look at your videos, and of course the relax one. Keep going i'm watching you from the cold Canada winter...😉

Not to be critical, but I got a little lost in the process. I understand you're not really going for accuracy, but I notice you move the tool out but still leave the screw feed engaged and you didn't explain what your starting measurement was to be able to know how much you were taking off. And why can't you just disengage the feed at the end and manually wind the saddle back to the start if you're moving the tool clear of the thread every cut. Just some little thoughts for those of us less familiar with lathes. Cheers, I do enjoy your videos.

Look cheaper and more efficient than a lawn mower......Just relax and look at them...

When someone says relax, I guess they just hop to it. 😂

What kind of screws should we use if we're not in Leeds? 🙃 Carry on, don't mind me. 😆

Love the detailed explanation.

Another good video Neil

Beautiful work, Neal! I appreciate the creativity and determination to get a hard job done!

So where do you get the thread chart and gauges from? Is th different gauges and charts for fine threads as opposed to coarse ones?

Hellow.does that shaper have a vintage crabtree dol starter.if yes can you please please show how its wired properly because i have the same shaper but cant seem to find out how to wire the latching coil hold.please help

Hey 'Bare Footed Boy' sitting by the road side. I don't see much salad there ?

Hi Neal, i can smell the taste!!! Yes life can be simple as that... Bonne appétit

Nice one…its still raining here in the uk never stopped in six months enjoy

Good old shaper getting it done!

Can this be fixed by changing the oil

Hi Neal, So when are we going to see a demo of your modified Bucket???

Nice job Neal. I am curious why you don't paint under overlapping steel pieces ? Will these areas not rust very quickly if left out in the open and on the dirt floor ?

WOW Neal, You are a bloody genius. Can you show us an actual job where you have used this brilliant method ?

Very Im" PRESS " ive Neil

Very kind of you to show the entire press, all dimensions, and how it goes together! It has my gears turning, I'll tell you that... especially since I have a fair bit of acme threaded rod sitting around. Edit to add: I truly appreciate the clear camera-work as well. You have a good helper there!

Hi Neal, very nice engineered press, and always happy see your videos. Keep going I'm watching you 🙂

I love your Tutorials Neal, because they are so easy to follow.

WOW! What a great learning guide. Looking forward to lots more. Thanks Neal.

What is the make and model of your shapes, please?

Hi Neal, we dont have that kind of tree in Canada. So what they are? Do some more relaxing videos. Best regards

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice project. Nice work

I really love the way you think to machine parts. And the way you explain things, you are not like other condescending KZbinrs. You don’t over explain and you don’t hand feed the design: ie the “table ruler” in your shaper divider video (I think it was gears in a shaper). Up until now I never thought to make t-slots in a shaper (or dovetails). Cheers!

Sorry but a dont undertand the part about the gear ratios. Does it use the same ratio to cut any numer of tooths or does it require a specific ratio for each number of teeth? Or does the relationship have to change acording to the pitch of the gear its going to cut?

This is downright BRILLIANT! I have yet to need a T slot cutter on my shaper but I am certainly storing your idea away for any future need. Darn well done to you Sir!

Nice to see your old shaper working. Mine is older, doesn't even have a clutch, you have to turn the motor on/off. The ways on mine are in similar shape to yours. I plan to scrape someday, but for now it gets the job done. Enjoy your videos.

try pdc insert, pretty amazing finish it produces.

I’ve always believed that the simplest solution is almost always the best solution and with one additional moving part it doesn’t get much simpler than this. Nicely done mate, very nicely done indeed.

Why does this guy crack me up?! 😅 Keep at it mate! 👍Greetings from Detroit 🇺🇸

Hi Neal, i just want to to know where you are. I'm always waiting for the next one. Best regards from Montreal Québec

Good design Neal, it works great. You need to do more videos. You're an old school pro. Cheers Tony

Modest man, nice piece of engineering! Thank You for showing, I won't be in your class but I sure love to see skills and thinkers.

Good work mate.

That was genius.

clever

I have seen several examples of the lifter idea but all using a piece of leather attached to the back side of the tool or tool holder. They work in much the same way your mechanical device does.

Well that is innovative.

What was the T slot for, Neal?

That’s the neatest thing I seen in a long time

Nice to solve a tool problem in a way that a home shop can manage. Well done, sir.

IF it isn't my favorite Aussie !

Brilliant practical idea!! Phil, UK

Always racing to see a shaper at work, I have a dedicated chair next to mine , costs me hours when I should be doing other stuff. Love the workshop ! Greets from wet,cold and un secure England .

No I haven't watched the whole vid yet, but the greatest part of this setup is that the cutter is a rack form not involute, so it is perfect for generating any number of teeth. I want a shaper.

Thats not a shaper finishing tool.

You have one of the neatest shops I have ever seen. Everything is sitting on a packed dirt floor. Any issues with ants? I just a hobbyist machinist if that much, my career is welding/fabricating. I was a tube welder and a pipe welder among other things. You have to be a genius to keep up with you, your videos are great, and I will surely watch them several times to get all I can out of them. I only have a lathe to work with, wanted to find a milling machine but it's ridicules what some folks are asking for them. I thought about a shaper if you can find one in good shape that is. Seems to me that you could do a lot of machining with a shaper alone that is after you learn all the features and how to operate it. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your skills and videos.
