Aww he looks like he has little sockies on. 😊🥰

Cool. I honestly thought it was gonna be one of them videos where someone bullies a spider. It wasn't 👍🏼

Very interesting. Thanks. It’s going to help me allot. Good video

Hey Joe I made a threaded gauge for a 4 1/4 12 3B threaded bore. I used the 3B internal pitch as necessary and was told to use the 3b major diameter for the major diameter of my plug and im not totally sure that is correct. so what should your major diameter be for a plug gauge thanks Joe.

I let them be since I figure they’re eating something in the house.

Spiders are so unlike us and our furry friends that they creep most people out. We need to learn to leave each other alone.

Who else watched the cranberry harvesting video and came here

Unloosen is the same as tightening!

Lives to crawl on you another day.

You're the goat

I have used this method and it is great on brass and other soft(ish) materials. On steel however the angle ground on the end of the parting blade can make the blade track slightly to the side and make the finished part the wrong thickness. On the HO/OO scale model railways that I model the brass parts are absolutely fine when done this way. And yes it is good to just touch BOTH sides of the washer with an emery stick or similar before completing the parting cut. Certainly beats the stamped washers you can buy. Thanks Joe.

I just found a US General 387 with a lever indicator on eBay and bought it . I think I will like that base better than the other two I have now . Thanks for the information .

Thank You Joe for this Video. Great lesson :-) Could you please show how to grind this parting tool?

Nice work Joe!

Glad I came back to this video, my plate turned up here in merry old England today, I’m very happy with it, great workmanship, quality materials & very professional packaging. Thanks Joe.

I'm from Germany and I used to work at a pipe organ builder in Austin in the early 1960's.

Joe, it would be great to have a "lessons I've learned in making these videos" video.

That looks like a grass spider.

Had one bigger tthan her in my shed. I stomped my foot about a foot away to scare it off and it came running at me with 2 front legs up. Shes dead now.

Hello Joe (the puzzle man) from the Pacific Northwest, 50 miles north of the SAN-FRAN-FREAK-O of the north, formerly known as Seattle. Thanks for sharing.

Found a juvenile wolf spider in my house once (Michigan). Didn't think too much about it, scooped it up and tossed it outside. The problem was that it was a Michigan winter and the thing scurried like 2 inches and stopped dead. I started feeling bad about it, and was going to see if I brought it back inside it could/would recover, but just as I opened the door, my friend was coming up onto my deck and stepped on it...with a very audible crunch. I figured, if I could hear it crunch (frozen solid), it was probably already dead.

Did anyone else blink when the captions said, "don't blink"? 😂

Joe, is that slitting saw an "extra precision" saw or similar, or were you just lucky to get one that appeared to run concentrically to the mandrel centerline?

1,2,3 blocks. Tricky guy, almost got me. That's 4 blocks😉

Looks very nice. The lathe finish job on that radius really worked well.

Always good tips.Thanks for your time!

This spider looks like a female - and you should not have shown her the camera - she probably ran out of stage fright lol

When is it NOT wolf spider season in Texas? Thanks for your video. The way I think is: insects outnumber us 1BILLION to 1. Anything that eats them is our friend.

I love spiders! I even feed them, like the funnel spider. Sometimes they park themselves in places where no bugs are likely to wander by, like on the cabinet in my bathroom. So I’d go out and bring back a bug and throw it on the web. That spider would pop out so fast and grab it that it was astonishing. The first wolf spider I ever saw was in Georgia. The thing was huge and looked it had a bushy Afro. I searched and searched for such a spider online. Eventually, I found a picture described as female wolf spider carrying her young spiders on her back. If one falls off, she will stop, pick it up and put it back. I fell in love! That is amazing. All those tiny legs had looked like an Afro.

yeah i don't think so

I guess it just wanted to know how much MegaBytes that flash was.

Wow....what an awesome build....so I'm new to this segment of engines....so I will ask...is this engine able to actually run off a steam boiler...

Thanks Joe

Another great video with some great tips tricks and explanations. I have seen a lot of you tube machinists and Joe is the only one that really explains the how and why. Thanks Joe!!

I use this technique to make cylinder and yoke shims (aka bearings) for S&W revolvers, to cure end shake issues. The angled parting tool is a good trick I will add to the procedure. Why the hell didn’t I know that?? Thanks Joe!

After 45+ years in heavy engineering / machining, I feel this area of machining is towards the realm of watchmaking. Thank you for another informative video. 🐯

Thanks for sharing another neat bag of tricks. The razor blade method works but I use an easier and faster way. Simply move your DRO the width of your parting blade instead of using the razor blade. My blade is .093 wide so moving the carriage .093 puts the right side perfectly flush with the face of the part.

Other than EDM, is there any other way to make parts this thin? The width of the parting tool is many times the thickness of the washer being made. One or two doesn’t matter, but if you wanted a couple of dozen the waste is far more than the product

Nice process Joe, I like how you think things thru before the chips fly.

Hi Joe, I have been using a Starret tap handle, but thanks to you, I now know how to set up and use the tap correctly. Just curious though, does any tool manufacturer even attempt to make a precision tap handle that would be acceptable? BTW, I never knew there were two ends available. ☺

Just an FYI Solid Rock Machine Shop in closed. 5/2024

The spider is thinking, WTF man I’m napping here, it’s been a big night killing off black widows and scorpions.

Thanks Joe, another gem

As usual, some good tips. Had a similar operation yesterday. Using the ABS/INC button on the DRO saved me the hassle of doing the math. Never thought of it before.

Do you ever run into rigidity issues with a quick change tool post? I've gone around and around with them and personally found that with what i do, they get too much chatter and deflection. But it's nice to be able to rapid change tools too on complex parts.

Smallest tap I have is a 3 56 thread. Made for tapping shotgun barrels for the sight bead on the end. And the tool to put the bead on. Any little wiggle will snap one. Not cool on someone's shotgun.😢

Wolf spiders are some of the most intelligent spiders.

Will he...? Won't he...? Will he...? Won't he...? Will he...? Won't he...? 💨💨 *_GONE!_*

Joe, Could you please provide a link to purchase the tooling ball? Thanks, Jon T.
