Finger Plate - Hemingway Kit

Gday, I recently had a very generous viewer gift arrive of 4 Hemingway kits, Finger plate, rotary broach, Tailstock die holder and Sensitive knurling tool, This video I decided to make the finger plate and I did make a couple of mistakes and didn't stick to then plans 100% but i'm happy with the final product, I really hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching, Cheers

[@CraigLYoung]

Thank you to the viewer. Keeping Matty busy is the best thing. These kits are great 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, these kits are going to be great and it’s going to keep me motivated, appreciate you watching as always mate, cheers

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

The generosity of our viewers continually blows me away, I just bought an engineer's vice using the small donations that my viewers make. That is a nice little project and to be honest, I have been scratching my head just lately trying to think of a project to make, just found one 😁, I hope the treatments are going well and not knocking you around too much. 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the generosity we have received is very humbling, these kits will keep me active and motivated, the treatment has definitely knocked me around a bit but thats to be expected mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@samrodian919]

What a very generous subscriber Matty. Those kits are not cheap either. But better yet is that it gives you the incentive to get out into your workshop after your treatments without the worry of thinking of another project, sourcing materials and hardware, so that you can get straight on with the job. A generous and bloody good idea for your recovery Matty. So thank you whoever you are, because you will give us plenty of the usual entertainment from Matty's workshop! Ps I wish I'd have thought of that. Now I've watched the build mate you've made a nice job of that. Pity about the mistake, but as we all say, " Shit happens " lol. Good luck with your appointment this arvo, cheers from the UK Sam

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, These kits are going go be perfect, I can do a little bit and then come back to it, the generosity and support we have received is very humbling and I hope one day after all the treatments and im back in full swing I can help other that need support, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@howder1951]

Nice work Matty, and the finger plate is a nice project that can be made from scrap on hand as well. I would just make a threaded stud for the hole from brass, lock site or solder and file it flush. Clickspring has a vid on his design. for anyone interested. Enjoyed the vid, cheers mate!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, this is the perfect build to use up off cuts and you really don’t need plans, I’m not really worried about the hole for now, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@camillosteuss]

Whoever you are, generous viewer, your contributions are most welcome... We all enjoy this channel`s content, and you just tossed oil over a fire... How nice of you, especially moving towards winter, it will be nice to have a few projects coming during these months of cold and cruel misery... Also, i dont know why the company insists on censoring of the plans in a way... Any machinist upon seeing the thing being made will be able to replicate the design... Sure, some details might change, but these arent complex systems that would present much hardship being replicated by sight... One is a tube with a taper on the end and a few bits, the other is a plate with some groves and finger clamps, one is a two finger clamp that has slots in the end to hold the knurling wheels... I mean, its literally apprentice grade projects in a way... Its not like you are making an automatic boring head with cross-feed/facing-feed... That would be harder to just assume the dimensions on, but these... Not so much...

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the generosity and support we have received is very humbling, i not sure why they don’t like the plans shown on camera but I’ll respect the wishes, I still haven’t forgotten about the boring and facing head, im looking for the correct tap I need which isn’t easy to find, thanks for watching, cheers

[@camillosteuss]

@@MattysWorkshop Ayy, anytime, seeing another whacky machinist brother is always a pleasure... How would i not be watching... Also, a thought... That vise stop could impart brinelling onto the fixed jaw... The hardened ball bearing with its point contact is just the worst type of pressure pad for important surfaces like vise jaws and precision plates... I would much rather see a bronze or brass pad or tip atop the screw... A ball is an implement of destruction here, even with gentlest pressures... First of, the vise jaw is likely hard itself, and a ball point contact with a hard surface cant really be a decent friction retention system either... Kinda like a carbide endmill in a drill chuck... Just waiting to slip at the first opportunity, unlike a soft wide pad(2mm contact is wide compared to a ball point)... The stop is lovely, but the locking mechanism is a bit unfortunate according to what i have learned over last decade and a half... Its why people grind down ball bearings so they can put the flat against the moving jaw and use the ball end to clamp down on the unevenly shaped part... You can use a plain ball bearing, but it will damage both the part and the jaw... Since the part is being worked, the half-ball is only needed until you get a flat reference surface against the jaw... You know the trick im talking about... Same idea as a copper wire, but its a ball bearing...

[@Rustinox]

Ah, the joy of exchanging stuff. That's really nice. And indeed, very small endmills don't last very long :)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Rustinox, small Endmills never last long until they make themselves in to 2 pieces and decide to jump in the bin, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@mhc6777]

On the up-side, the shanks are a good source of D bit blanks and alignment pins :)

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Hi Matty, great to see you in the workshop, enjoying a build and customising the kit to suit yourself, I wouldn't have done the concave filing either cos I'm sure I've some spherical washers in the bottom of a toolbox somewhere as they are used for the injector clamps for an old Citroen van I used to have. You have inspired me for a little project of my own now as I'm sure I can find enough in my scrap bin to make one of those up. best wishes from the UK, Paul

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, a spherical washer will be perfect and I might get one for mine, brilliant idea mate, cheers

[@russelldold4827]

Good to see you back on your machines, Matty. Thoughtful gifts. Not always possible, but slitting saws can also make narrow slots. Also, a radius on the central nut paired with a matching female radius in the clamp would do the same as the filed radius. Many ways … Rooting for you!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it’s good to be machine again, I didn’t give a slitting saw a thought but I’ll remember for next time, Thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@machinists-shortcuts]

Nice work Matty. If you ever get stuck machining a vee again, set the part in the vice at 45 degrees and use a standard end mill ( any size ) and use the Y axis.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that’s definitely a good idea mate, Thanks for watching, cheers

[@Kampala69]

And a thanks from the viewers, enjoying the vicarious pleasure from Matty doing his thing!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Much appreciated mate, cheers

[@aussiecro.]

you know how the old Berger paints commercial went...."keeps on keeping on"...that gives you an idea of my age. Stay cool mate!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I remember that commercial from when I was a kid and that wasn't yesterday mate, Cheers

[@125spectrum]

Looks like a beautiful, engineered item Matty. I'm a Civil Engineer but appreciate any engineering. You're a legend in our community. All the best. Paul, Scotland.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, thanks very much for your kind words Paul, cheers

[@bostedtap8399]

Most magnanimous of a viewer 👍 well done. Great to see you busy Matty. Thanks for sharing

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, The generosity we have received is very humbling mate and I can't thank everyone enough, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@thepagan5432]

Nice job mate. Customers drawings are sacred and need to be exact. Ancillary drawings I used use as guidance, after all it was us guys that would use it. Glad to see you again mate 👍 See you soon.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, cheers

[@kenmurray4232]

It is amazing the number of past jobs you could have used the new tool on. The generosity of viewers is helping keep content for us to watch. Thanks for sharing

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I really wish I had this when I built the Webster engines, the generosity we have received is very humbling mate, cheers

[@MatthewTinker-au-pont-blanc]

What a great gift! Keep on keepin' on mate! All the best, Matthew

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Absolute awesome gift mate and its going to keep me active and motivated as well, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@barrycaudle9926]

Hi Matty, good to see you in the shop. Nice when you have some low stress projects to keep you busy.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Barry, These are perfect projects to keep me motivated and keep the mind working, the brain needs a tune up after making that mistake putting the threaded hole in the wrong side but ill have to keep double checking myself more now, Appreciate your support mate, Cheers

[@624Dudley]

Glad you chose to make the finger plate first. I’ve been interested in such tools ever since Clickspring made his version years ago. Thanks Matty 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, This is a really good build and its not hard but I still screwed it up🤦🏻, Enjoy making it mate, Cheers

[@timogross8191]

You did not screw it up. You altered the original design.

[@silverbullet7434]

Nice build making it your way makes it yours from all others. God bless Marty in my prayers.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate and thanks for watching, Cheers

[@Darren777Au]

Always good to see you create something from 'nothing'. Thank you.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks mate, appreciate you watching, cheers

[@MyLilMule]

What a terrific gift! Mistakes happen, it's how you DEAL with them that defines your character. Excellent job, Matty. Cheers!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Greg, certainly an amazing gift and it’s going to keep me busy, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@modelengineeringadventures]

the die-holder Hemingway is a game-changer you will also love making it...

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m looking forward to using the die holder mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@troyam6607]

Well done Matty, another fantastic series. in our thoughts with the rust issue.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Troy, I apologise I haven't sent the parcel your way yet but it will happen, I have another round next Thursday so ill probably go down hill for a few days, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@troyam6607]

Nothing to apologise for my friend, just glad to support a great creator! sort out the big things the little ones will sort themselves in due time @@MattysWorkshop

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Excellent job Matty, very nice build..

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, appreciate you watching and commenting, Cheers

[@paulcooper2897]

As others have said, Huge Thanks to whoever sent the kits in! Content for us, and focus for Matty!!! The project turned out really nice Matty! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Paul, these build will definitely keep me motivated which is what I need mate, thanks for watching cheers

[@wktodd]

Nice kits :⁠-⁠) qudos for not showing plans on camera For small grooves like those in the clamp, use a slitting saw of appropriate thickness

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Its not easy to not show the plans, I didn't give a slitting saw a bloody thought and perfect solution, Thanks very much for watching mate, Cheers

[@DudleyToolwright]

I feel ya, Matty. I clean after every day as well and I am not a particular neat freak.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Robert, I can’t handle leaving the machines dirty, it’s not hard if you clean them everyday, thanks for watching, cheers

[@m0xya]

those kits look great. and you did a wonderful job machining it.. don't worry for a second about the *mistakes* because they're not.. they are what we call in my business "undocumented features".. you never know, some day you will need that threaded hole.. awesome work, keep it coming..

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, these kits are really well put together and enjoyable to build, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@RB-yq7qv]

Hi Matt. We have some wonderful people in this world and the generosity is astounding. Hope the treatment goes well this week and you recover quickly. Till next time have a good week.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the generosity we have received has been very humbling and I cant thank everyone enough, I have my next treatment on the 21st, its going to knock me a bit but thats to be expected, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@nortiousmaximus940]

looking good young sir, that's a cool project, and to my eyes, it came out spot on. keep up the good work.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much mate, Appreciate you watching and commenting, cheers

[@joelbrown3479]

Great build, of an amazing gift... To an amazing guy! Don't be surprised that people around the WORLD enjoy your builds. Stay STRONG & rest as necessary. Great to see you modify a build, keeps you on your toes😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 from da Bronx 😎

[@joelbrown3479]

P.S. there's nothing like a clean work area. 👍👍👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thank you very much!

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Great work as always Matty.

[@ellarickey6925]

Mate, you deserve all these gifts because you are the real deal , meaning your passion with machining is real and that is something you cannot fake. Keep up that Aussie slag too I piss myself every time you talk shit .

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I dont change for the camera, what you see is just how it is, Quite often I dont know myself what's going to come outa my mouth which is a worry mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@markwatters6875]

Another great video mate, culminating in what I feel will be a handy little tool. Thanks Matty, have a good one mate 👍🇦🇺

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Mark, I wish I had this when I made the Webster engines thats for sure, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@garyc5483]

Great job Matty. I doubt if anyone ever stays to the exact plan. Modify to suit yourself seems to be the general form. If you need the slots in that part you could always turn it on its side and use a slitting saw to do it. ATB with the treatment. regards from the UK

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I do think we all just use plans as a guide, I honestly didn’t give a slitting saw a thought and know I wish I did, thanks for watching, cheers

[@bearsrodshop7067]

First, like to thx our Creator for giving you the strength too be out in your shop and continue to draw us viewers and creators. I wanted to watch the complete, but my first round of chemo must have been concocted by Dr, Frankenstein him self. Soory Mate. hope to revisit over the wk end when I can set up without loosing my guts. Prayer's are most needed, Bear.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much Bear, stay strong mate

[@dennythomas8887]

Nice work Matty. As far following the plans exactly goes, I'd say 90% or more of the kit builders I see on here ether modify the kit or leave details out to suit their needs. For that "extra" threaded hole I'd loc-tite a screw or bolt in the hole, cut it off flush and then run a fly cutter over the top surface to blend it in and one ooops gone!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, plans are only a guide and made to be modified so I have been told mate, I think I’m going to leave the hole there for now and it may possibly be handy in the future, thanks very much for watching, cheers

[@MrFactotum]

eyup Matty Great little tool, nicely adapted, all the best with your appointments. see you next time 👍👍👍👍 atb Kev (UK)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Kev, This will be a very handy tool to have, Ive got plenty of appointments thats for sure mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@metalmill52]

Great looking project, Matty! So happy to see you sharing this with us! Bill

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Bill, this was an enjoyable build, thanks for watching and commenting mate, cheers

[@jonsworkshop]

Well made Matty, I am sure over time you will find a use for the rogue hole, you will then know the reason you put it in the top face😉. Hope you are feeling OK bud. Cheers, Jon

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Jon, im feeling good now but that’ll change on Thursday when i get the next treatment, I’d say over time I’ll end up putting extra holes in the plate for different jobs, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@MrPossumeyes]

Cheers, Matty. Thanks. And thanks to your subscriber for their surprising generosity.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, this was very generous mate, thanks for watching, cheers

Thanks very much Chuck, wish I had this when I built the Webster engines mate, Thanks for watching, Cheers

Thanks Matty beautiful work and again look after yourself , nice outfit at the end …….. Brian

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks very much Brian, appreciate you watching mate, cheers

[@Steviegtr52]

Nice build Matty. I have done 2 of there kits & both had enough materials to complete them. Some good folk out there mate. See you next time. Steve.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Steve, the kits are really well put together and plenty of material to work with, thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@TedRoza]

G'day Matty. This is an excellent build. Whether drilled a hole in the wrong place or not, I don't think it matters, for that fact if you really needed it, just flip it over & drill the hole. 😂🎉 Great video, keep up the good work

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Ted, it turns out I didn’t need that feature the hole was for but shit happens mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@mhc6777]

Nice work Matty, Don't worry about the 'mistake' tapped hole, I reckon a few more 1/4 - 32 holes might be handy to give more options for positioning the finger clamp. You could also drill out the 'mistake' 1/4 -28 hole (UNF), plug it somehow and re-drill and tap it 1/4-32 as well. I made a 'clickspring' inspired plate a while back and am about to drill a few more tapped holes for the clamp post to give more clamping options - I'll send a photo when I've finished it.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I think it’ll end up with a grid pattern at some stage, definitely looking forward to seeing yours mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@mhc6777]

Hi Matty, I ended up adding 4 x M8 threaded holes in a rectangle around the original central M8 hole and added 6 x 6mm alignment holes on one side - I don't use Instagram and couldn't find an email address to send a photo to - there's not much to it anyway, just turned into a micro fixture plate :)

[@EverettsWorkshop]

I've heard of the Hemingway kits but never tried one myself. That unit will come in handy for you for small bits. Looks like a good project for here too but it has to take a number, lol!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, this was the first Hemingway kit I’ve done and I’m surprised how good they are, good instructions and plenty of length on materials, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@darrenblattner2508]

Thread a piece of brass to plug the hole, it will look cool. Turned out nice, Keep smilin

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that would look nice mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@johnjewell219]

I want one! I have the kit for the die holder sitting in the shed for when I get time. Can't wait to see how you fare with that build!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, the finger plate is an enjoyable build, Im doing the die holder next but with a twist to the plans, Hopefully ill have it done by next Thursday, Thanks for watching, Cheers

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Hole here or there no matter it was a great build anyway Matty. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Harold, hope your going well, I can’t believe I made that mistake but it happens mate, take care and thanks for watching, cheers

[@nobbysworkshop]

Hi Matty, very kind and generous gifts. You'll find the Finger Plate very useful. I made one about 10 months ago. Not a kit though. I use it all the time on my bench drill. Wouldn't be without it now. I did a video on it as well. Hope your appointments go well for you. All the best mate. Cheers Nobby

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Nobby, I can think of many time this finger plate would of been handy to have on past builds, I do remember the plate you made, appointments are going ok thanks, chemo again next week so back to square one mate, cheers

[@kimber1958]

Very nice Should keep you busy for a nit

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Kimber, I have plenty to do now, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers

[@chrisbaker3844]

Hi Matty Great to see you doing well, had a look at the Hemingway web site and surprised to see they are local to me. Like you I can’t stand walking up to a dirty machine and I always have to clean up before finishing for the day. Holding small parts is always a nightmare and the finger plate looks just the thing. Keep going. Illegitimi non carborundum

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, I’m really impressed with the Hemingway kits, great written instructions and the build plans and spot on, I can’t stand starting the day off with dirty machines, it’s not hard to spend a few moments at the end of the day to do a simple clean, thanks for watching mate, cheers

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

It is nice to see that there are good people in the world. By the way for that hole you don't want, why not drill it out and plug it with a piece that is a press fit and file it smooth so it does not show. Cheers

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, there are still very kind people in the world and the support we have had here has been very humbling mate, one day I might fix that hole but then it might come in handy to, thanks for watching, cheers

[@gregc1775]

G’Day Matty Hope you’re well Great video. Like your technique using the knurling tool Will do the same in the future. Sure beats tightening down on the nut Great work. 👍Ulladulla

Wow ! That will keep you busy for a time mate. Those Hemingway kits are not cheap mate. I know you got them as a gift but I wonder if they will just sell the drawings only and you buy the raw material from places you know locally

[@MattysWorkshop]

Thanks for the thumbs up mate, cheers

[@jacqueso8424]

Yeah 3mm (and smaller) mills arent always happy with aluminium let alone steel. One should always have and extra 1 of whatever you have on hand. Even if it made me broke at some stage to have so much mills😂 oh well 1 recovers from that soon or eventually. I learnt also very quick to be patient with those sizes, doesnt pay to loose the concentration and send the poor mill to oblivion😅 peck away at the job one pass at a time, enough air and lube does it.but yeah we all do mess up good sometimes part of learning😅

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, Small Endmills never last long here, definitely a major consumable in my workshop, Thanks for watching mate, Cheers
