Fill the T-slots.

[@Preso58]

Well done on the 10K milestone, Michel. I like your modular clamping arrangement for the shaper. Regards, Preso

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hi Michel. Thank you for showing that it’s possible to fill T slots without the aid of a 3D printer. 👏👏 I have hundreds of questions for you. The most important being, “how is your health, I hope you are as well as can be?”. The second question is, “where do you get the motivation to make weekly videos?” Well done on 10k, subscribers. Here’s to 100k! 👏👏👍😀

[@dennythomas8887]

Congratulations on 10K! Well deserved Michel. You have proven over and over that humor and machines can go hand in hand. 👍😁

[@eyuptony]

Great to see the shaper working Rustinox. A job well done. Makes life easier and less frustrating.......Cheers Tony

[@mr.b2232]

Congratulations on 10K. I appreciate your down to earth style, in content and in presentation. Looking forward to your future videos and thanks for taking the time to share. 👍😎

[@jimzivny1554]

Congratulations on 10k, its long overdue.

[@steinmargunnarsson3709]

Friday afternoon by the computer at the home office, beer and your weekly video; that´s all I need for each Friday. Great videos and great work. Always interesting to see the shaper at work. I have a shaper myself (of unknown brand- could be an Elliot) which I will be rebuilding in the near future. Keep up the good work. All the best from Iceland

[@RalfyCustoms]

Happy days Michel 🎉 congratulations on 10k buddy, very well deserved, thank you for bringing us along

[@jimurrata6785]

Glad your arm has healed. Congratulations on 10.000 subscribers! 🥳🍻

[@Engineerd3d]

Always loved your style and humor. Without getting too personal can you give us a timeline of your life? Work etc? Your the kind of person I could sit down and have a beer with.

[@robertlewis4666]

Congratulations on 10K subs Micheal, love your channel and look forward to every Friday's posting.

[@jonathancoates11]

Great to have you and the shaper back on Friday evening. I hope your health stays good for a long time.

[@jeremylastname873]

I have a question for the Q&A: What meter rail museum(?) are you helping to rejuvenate? May we please see more? Are they diesel/electric engines, steam, or what? I’m happy that you are getting recognition. You do a good job of sharing information and I (along with 9,999 others apparently) appreciate your efforts. Thank you.

[@MicksWorkshop]

Nice job Michel! Congratulations on the 10K!

[@ronwilken5219]

Congratulations on your 10k subscribers, Michael. Now, you need to work towards your 25k by next Christmas. Thanks for your contributions over the past years. And before I forget, Happy New Year from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🇨🇦🍌🥋🕊🇺🇦🕊🇧🇪🎂🏁👍

Congratulations on 10k subscribers,thanks for what you do.Plenty of inspiration for me.

[@bhein67]

Congratulations on reaching the 10K milestone! I always enjoy your videos keep up the great work! Cheers from Canada!

[@paulhewitt1488]

Well done Michel on reaching the 10k mark.Thoroughly deserved as a result of your talent and commitment to making machining a fun experience. Take care and here’s to many more subscribers in 2025 and beyond. 👍👍

[@carlmcferran9371]

I love your channel and watch all your videos. I am a retired technical paint expert, I notice all your lathes are lacking in their paint coatings and badly have chipped paintwork. If I was local to you then I would gladly spend time and repaint/ respray your machines in their origional colours, I keep my lathe and mill in perfect condition and repaint any areas that become damaged in any paint areas. Keep up the great videos and keep healthy as we need you to continue the great videos.

[@flyerphil7708]

Clean it, oil it, use it. Who cares what it looks like?

[@paln2893]

Its a shame to repaint the patina that tells a tools story

[@michaelmcallister3429]

I really enjoy all of your videos.

[@tomwagemans1872]

Congratulations on the 10k subscribers!

[@theodorostzortas4991]

Congratulations on reaching 10K. Best wishes for the new year.

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

Michel a huge congratulations on the 10K 👍👍 My questions : 1 when did you get started in metal working? 2 and when did you get interested in machining? 3 any other family members doing the same, past or present. Enjoy the new year !

[@gworx-247]

Another great video sir. Congrats on your 10k subscriptions...should be 50k in my opinion👍

good video rustinox

[@philhiggins6785]

Hi, congratulations. I greatly admire your work. Your exploits remind me of the tool room where I was trained. Especially on the shaper and lathe.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Thanks a very inspiring video. Your clamping tools on the shaper made me think the same kind could be used on a mini mill too. Thanks for the idea! You were using steel for the plugging. In this shop plastic is a possibility. BUT.... There's a problem. The threaded hole will get invaded by chips.... Solution is pending. Cheers.

[@melgross]

Nicely done. I would suggest that these screw holes be countersunk and screws be kept in them so that the threads don’t got fine particles in them, making it difficult to get the screws I for removal. Sometimes even air can’t remove them completely. It’s good to see you feeling better.

[@paulshouse524]

Congratulations on 10k subscribers!

[@624Dudley]

Happy New Year, Rusti! Congratulations on the 10k mark. You have earned those subscriptions with your engaging, endearing style & humor! 👍 I would be interested to learn about your shaper’s history. Perhaps you spoke about it in old videos, but I can’t recall. 🤔

[@billdoodson4232]

Happy New Year and well done on getting the subscribers up to 10,000 Michel. Totally deserved.

[@DarrenLane]

Love seeing the Shaper in action. Congrats for the 10K subs.

[@kevinbaird9763]

Congrats on the 10k. You deserve many more. Happy New Year from the Mojave Desert, Ca.

[@kurtswanson3528]

congratulation's on your milestone! i wish I had room for a small shaper.

[@perhenell9652]

Congratulations. Hope more people find you. I look forward to Fridays and something new from you.

[@jeff1176]

Congrats on the 10k. I got to get me a shaper one day, hopefully after my workshop/garage gets built later this year.

[@nobbyzink1634]

Congratulations on your 10k subscribers, Michael. Happy New Year from Germany

[@ryebis]

Well done on the 10K subscribers Michel and happy 2025.

[@hedning003]

here is where a 3dprinter comes very handy, and YES!! FINALLY!! 10k subscribers! Congrats Michel!!, i'll celebrate this whit a fine single malt in your honor.. i think a Lagavulin 18 years will be in place

[@geraldpepper404]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on 10000 subscribers!!

[@douglashank8480]

I like those little T-slot clamps for the shaper. ...I'll have to search back and see if you did a video on making them.

[@graemewhite5029]

Well done on getting 10k subscribers Rusty ! I usually have my compound slide set just a smidge over 1/2 a degree, which means a 10 thou advance on it will take one tenthousandth of an inch off the diameter. Handy for those finish cuts, but don't forget the extra longitudinal travel if you're working up to a shoulder !

[@henrikhv5084]

Congratulations Michel, and thank you for all your videos, you are a real inspiration :-) go for it ;-)

[@907jl]

Congrats on the 10K subscriber milestone Michel. Hope you have a great 2025!

[@jorgemilanese7172]

Hi Michel, Happy New Year and congrats on the 10k subscribers! How did you get your machines? How did you move them to your shop? How do you learn machining? Greetings from Texas!

[@anthonysaunders1550]

I’ll be there!

[@angelramos-2005]

Good news Michel.Happy new year,10 k subscribers and so on.Thank you.

[@darrellstephen3085]

10k good start for the year!

[@nobbysworkshop]

Nice job on the t-slot covers. I also don’t have a 3D printer, so I machined some from some scrap plastic. You could also remove the round plugs with a magnet 🧲. Congratulations on your 10k subscribers Michel. Happy New Year with good health and happiness. Cheers Nobby

[@darynradcliffe2909]

10k ,whoop whoop ! How's that for a happy new year 😊

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great video rusty, keep'um coming..

[@davidberlanny3308]

Bonne année!! Hi Michel, enhorabuena (congratulations) on reaching the 10k milestone, richly deserved!! Love seeing your shaper in action, some really great slow motion clips!! The first thing I ever made on a shaper was some toolmakers clamps. What was the first thing you made on a shaper? And do you still have it? All the best!!

[@MyLilMule]

Congrats 10k!

[@TedRoza]

G'day Rusty. Congratulations on your 10000 + very good news. I was Impressed with all your Lockdown & extension pieces that you have made. Maybe you should do a segment on the tools,accessories & extensions you have made on your various machines. My question if it's not to personal is .. we have seen your Rooster next door, your trailer supplying with metal, & Your Daughter helping you. Are you Still married. Hope this is not to personal. Keep up your Great work Thanks Ted

[@greglaroche1753]

Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers! The question I would ask is what is your professional background? How did you learn machining? Was it always your profession, if you don’t mind sharing of course. Thanks!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Congratulations on reaching 10k subs! I really enjoy the work you do with the shaper. I hope to see more in 2025. My question is, seeing as how skilled and creative you are, do you have formal machine shop training?

[@jdmccorful]

Congrats Rusti on the growth of your channel! Enjoyed this sesson, thanks.

[@Doug_Edwards]

Congratulations on the 10K

[@douglashank8480]

Questions for the 10k party: What first got you interested in machining, and when & how did that happen? Was it a long time interest that you finally started doing later in life, or did you jump right in and start moving metal soon after you caught the machining bug? I'd like to hear more about what got you interested in the railroad stuff too, and when & how that came about? Do you usually volunteer with that railway, or was the work you did recently more of a favor for a friend? I think I've seen all of your videos. ...But I've got a [very] short memory these days, so I apologize in advance for any of these you've already answered. Happy 10k! 🥳 And if you decide to throw an actual party... Well, I'm not likely to make it to Europe anytime soon, but I'll be there in spirit! 😆

[@ristopentikainen]

Congratulations to you!

[@arturperreira5680]

Nice, 🎉

[@argee55]

Hooray, it’s Friday. Time for another episode of Rustinox. Glad to see you’re doing well this new year. Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers. Here’s to the next 10k. My question is, where did the name “Rustinox” originate? Thanks, Randall in Kentucky, USA.

[@mosssy100]

I have the same lathe. This is the first time I have ever run across anyone with a Celtic 14. I think I will make a pair of slot fillers from hardwood or plastic. I am in Alberta, Canada.

[@Rustinox]

A Belgian lathe in Canada, that's nice :)

[@vicdreyer6413]

Dankie vir die video, van Vic in Suid Africa - Kaapstad.

[@joedowling5452]

Congratulations on reaching 10K subscribers. You have one of the most enjoyable and informative channels on YT and deserve many more. As for a question, how did you come to start in machining? From your earlier videos you shared that you had worked on a barge. Were you doing any machining work while doing that? Thanks for providing us with these years of entertainment and education.

[@voodoochild1954]

Of course I love your shaper but those T-slot covers seemed like they would have been easier to on the mill with a vise. Anyhow congratulations on the 10k subscribers. No questions for me, just keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep watching!

[@gennadiykatsman674]

Nice work, as always and congratulations on the subscribers milestone! Question for the Q&A episode: Shaper, 2 lathes, toolmaker milling machine and blacksmith forge would probably cover almost any possible project - is there any other machine or equipment that’s on your wishlist?

[@rickhand8228]

It is great that you now have ten thousand subscribers but I am not surprised. Your videos are so good that I would think everybody who likes metal machine work would subscribe! My question is: how did you get started in machine work? Happy New Year!

[@bustednuckles2]

I always enjoy your videos.

[@terrycannon570]

How do you make down feed adjustments while the shaper is in motion? I've been using my shaper some this week and it is really addicting. I call it my "Shaper Therapy" I love shaper videos. I really do enjoy seeing your Shaper set up methods.

[@MattChiversWorkshop]

Fantastic News Michel!! Well deserved 10k, excellent channel! My question, what workshop project have you always dreamed of having a go at?? All the best, Matt 👍🚂

[@paln2893]

What is your dream machine?

Rock on!
