I'd like to point out that when you realized that the 2 nuts had uneven spacing it would have probably been easier to just machine away some of the threads instead of moving the J channel. Either way it looks great.

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@bdkj3e Thanks! I've gotten this suggestion a lot and there was actually another constraint with the key pin mechanism under that cap, so the slot correction was the only answer without more changes. Though I didn't realize this at the time so I got kind of lucky 😆

[@CGT80]

Funny, my signature on a gun forum, I used to post on all the time on, is "He who dies with the most tools/toys wins!" I chose it because repairing, building, fabricating, and designing is just what I do. When I was at a summer program as a kid sitting with animated movies playing to entertain other kids, I was designing a work bench with oxy acetylene hoses, extension cords, and air hoses all built in. My dad did a lot in the garage, although he was a meat cutter by trade and his dad was a tool and die maker for the aerospace industry. As a kid, I put a rocking lawn chair on my red wagon, like dad put the camper on the truck for vacation. Of course, dad's electrical solder worked well to wire in the "lights" on that setup. As a kid, I took a lot of things apart and started fixing them by time I was 12 or 13 years old. I could have bought a manual bullet casting machine and automated it like others. Instead, I built my own from scratch with a 100 pound lead capacity because I could one up their 40-70 pound pots and I wanted to further my fabrication skills. It is almost all tig welded instead of mig welded as well....because I knew it would be a challenge. It isn't perfect but I was working on it today, buy using a better pneumatic cylinder that is more controllable. There are some short videos on my channel, but I'm not a youtuber.

To make an unpickable lock, all he has to do is make it so the lock doesn't even use a key, or anything other than the one puzzle solution to get it to open. Another way to make an unpickable lock is to just make a lock that never opens unless you destroy it. But that would be rude.

I am really thankful that you started doing KZbin and that I found you, especially since you live so close to me in Louisville. Even though I watch a couple of Maker KZbinrs, you talking about how you inherited all his Machining tools and such. It got me inspired to get my career back to where I wanted to go when I graduated from Speed School in Mechanical specializing in Tooling. I now have a job as a Flat Die Tooling Engineer and already love it 10x more than my previous job as a general contractor/project manager. I don't know what it is but moving heavy metal and cutting parts down the the tenths just feels so good. This company started back in the 50's and they're still a little slow to progress and still have a lot of the old drafted blueprints that were done by hand and seeing you do it just makes it all the more better

[@krisknowlton5935]

Gotta respect a guy who still uses a drawing board! I designed a log house a while back on the computer, then built the house. The house had a front porch that went the length of the house. It also had a couple of dormers on the roof. The dormer that was above the living room had to line up with the double window that was below since the living room was open all the way to the peak of the roof with an open loft on the back side of the house. Since it was all opened I built up scaffolding in the living room to make it safer and easier to work on the ceiling and build the dormer and finish it on the inside. We finally got finished and it was time to remove the scaffolding. I was pretty excited to go up on the loft and and take in the final result. My heart sank. The two windows were not aligned. You couldn't not see it. Here you have this beautiful tongue and groove ceiling with exposed beams and a massive stone fireplace and all you can see is the two windows not lining up. They were six inches off. I went back and measured everything according to the plans. The dimension for the lower window was wrong and I never caught it. It took me a long hard day to fix that screw up. And yes, I had to remove and put in new logs and cut logs to move the window over on a house that already had a roof on. The point is, I know the frustration of building something from the plans only to find out one of the dimensions was wrong.

I get to make cool stuff every day!

[@CGT80]

It is a ton of work to be a craftsman and tradesman who does similar things for hobby and sometimes I wonder why I do it for fun too. For one, I already have the tools and skill, but if I just do simple mind numbing trade work for weeks or months on end and don't get to do more creative design, repair, or fabrication, I don't feel fulfilled. For all of 2020, I worked out of town 3 hours away and wasn't home every weekend. Only a couple months into that year, I started rebuilding my own garage at home, so my shop was emptied out and I only had the new things I learned and did at work. That was on the weekends that my body allowed me to do more physical work (I live everyday in pain anyway). It was so nice to get back to finishing my own shop and when I got to the part of filling it back up and laying it out to work better it was really enjoyable, then came working on new or existing projects. The first half of this year, I was working and staying out of town again but also tried a relationship with someone who I have known for 10 years. Unfortunately, we have some important differences and it is back to just a friendship, but even with the focus on a relationship, I was still missing my shop.

Combine the satisfaction of machining, pretty solid video making, the right style of humor, math and designing and you have the right formula for instant follow and binge watching the entire uploads. Plus the right amount of fails and how to fix it gives me (never machined before, I'm used to work with death screeching banshees (wood working machines) a somewhat good understanding where to focus my thoughts when doing my first project in my girlfriend's father's machine shop. The gd&t is such a good resource to understand tolerances and helps also a ton. And seeing you hand drafting gave me the urge to do the same, it's so meditative.

I appreciate you showing the failures during the creation of this puzzle. Especially when you didn't drill the hole in the bin at the right angle, it's a small thing but it's really the true nature of creation. Making failures along the way to success is part of the proccess!

Thanks to you, Brandon, I asked the machinist in my workplace if he could teach me how to use lathe and mill. We turned a custom sink for our children's bath tub (old plastic one was broken). I so much enjoyed the process of turning and tapping that I want to dive deeper into the subject. Being an IT guy and a hobby woodworker, getting things done in the physical world is great. You, sir, have a new subscriber. Cheers from Switzerland

Thanks, Paul!

Beautifully made! When I first saw it I was completely stumped. Also your drawings look like they were done by a machine/computer since they're so clean looking.
