Handmade Tap Holder and Spoon

Sometimes you need a tap and sometimes a spoon, but never both. Is that a coincidence?... What?

[@benkirkland5354]

Giving a periodic reverse turn while tapping can break the loose material and can help prevent too much binding up, lessening the chances of breaking the tap. We usually do a 1/2 to full rotation and break back a slight bit, rotate, break back, etc. love your stuff, Uri

[@chazmakarowski5429]

When you tap enough holes like a full time machinist you'll get the spidey sense for when your tap is loaded up and in need of being cleaned out. Otherwise I rarely back the tap off to break the chip. Seems unnecessary when the tap only breaks when the flutes are bound right up

[@Nono-hk3is]

@@chazmakarowski5429 yes, every time I've broken a tap, it was immediately preceded by the thought "gee I wonder why this has gotten so hard to turn?" Now I just need to learn to act on that thought appropriately.

[@chazmakarowski5429]

@@Nono-hk3is besides having no real feel with small taps, tapping exotics or hardened materials, and having to use dull taps since buying them cost money and what I said still stands. Haven't broken a tap since... 2014? maybe 2015. Next time you break a tap though, throw the piece my way and i'll dig it out of the hole for ya ;)

[@jimmurphy5739]

This was the topic of another video's commentary recently and 2 things bear repeating as relates to NOT breaking the tap: first, use taps that are designed for machine tapping (versus hand tapping) and second, if possible, before moving the work piece, chuck the tap in the same chuck you used to drill the hole so it can be sent in perfectly. These taps might be a bit more costly, but I plan to give it a whirl.

[@shinyribs2178]

Uri, I bet you would be a world champion etch-a-sketch artist with those lathe skills! Nice work as always. Nice to see a new project from you. Take care ✌️

[@TheMixmastamike1000]

Your humanity, personality, and relatability are as fun to watch as your awesome and inspiring craftsmanship.

[@KarlBunker]

That spoon would hold just about the right amount of cutting fluid to put on a tap before using it.

[@suzil7687]

This spoon needs to be a precursor to one of those beautifully creative videos like preserving lemons. Maybe it can be part of a series where you make several utensils to “cook” a kirsch holz tort or some silly play on words like that. I so look forward to the quirky side of your videos. Gruss Gott!!

[@machinist_matt]

Buy HSS taps instead of carbon steel. Also when you tap a thread use oil and back off a quarter turn for every full rotation and you'll never break one ever again. 😉

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Gotta break that chip.👍

[@manudehanoi]

do carbon steel taps even exist nowadays?

[@machinist_matt]

@@manudehanoi Yes. They tend to be in sets or at the budget end of the scale. I don't like them but they are ok for the occasional user working in brass or aluminium.

[@manudehanoi]

@@machinist_matt I get my chinese HSS taps for 1 or 2 usd

[@BigAdam2050]

"They are fine" , I got those taps, the are about as well made as a 3am drunk breakfast. Buy a set of proper taps, or second hand ones ( I get joblots off ebay) and its a WORLD of difference.

[@TheJoyofPrecision]

I agree with this one million percent!

[@ocityvipers]

… or make a set ;)

[@UncleDon226]

I love this channel because the titles are always so vague when you see the thumbnail, but by then end, you're like "Oh, he's making a tap handle and spoon." But during the whole video I am enthralled.

[@gaelletourneau-rouillard4965]

Your videos really are the perfect mixes of craziness, amazing skills and English fumbling. It's just awesome!

[@nv1493]

With Uri, its not just the end result, it's how you're able to enjoy the ride to get there.

[@TonyBullard]

Using cheap tools to make your own, better tools is a very satisfying feeling.

[@peteb2]

Just fantastic.... I absolutely adore the work you do. Some of it may not be in line with what a professional fitter-turner or machinist would do but you're learning each time about working this kind of media as an artist. The fantastically styled decorative creations you make with your hands are priceless in my eyes.

[@BVbeth]

My husband and I love watching you create! You make some of the most incredible things! All the love from West Virginia, USA!

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Yeyyy, West Virginia! Used to live in Nitro, loved it!

[@Gameboygenius]

When I saw you stop rotating the chuck manually and moved away your hand in the intro I thought to myself "he's not going to do *that,* is he?" But you were and the result was exactly as expected. Very This Old Tony-esque moment.

[@ericg7044]

I think he switched the tap out for a center drill, that's why he did the little hand wave thing in front of it. You can see the tip is much smaller in diameter than the end of the tap was. He dun tricked us.

[@simonr6793]

You can't help but love this channel the most random bizarre things you ever want to see made alway's happen to be available on this channel. Bloody Brilliant 👏 👌 👍. Uri if you had the chance of having one new tool/item for your workshop what would it be and how much would it cost 🤔?. As always buddy 💯 % 👍 🇬🇧.

[@robwoodke6592]

As always an awesome video. So many of your projects give the appearance of being made in 18th century Europe. I love every single one. Keep it up and thank you for the inspiration.

[@tattoosteveneo]

I hope you never change your ways. That’s what I love most about your channel.

The video was fine, perhaps giving a shout out to the patreon members in the outro would encourage more folks to interact. Like end credits or something. It's just a thought, always love watching the whimsical things you make. world needs a little more of that.

[@leiferickson3183]

Awesome! I cant get over how great the bolts finish are. But be aware that brass and also that "Free machining steel" are both very likely to have lead in them. Here in the states they often have an L in the name, for instance 12L14

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

Nah, it’s fine…. Lead makes everything taste sweeter-just ask the ancient Roman Empire!! 😆😈

[@jeffryan90359]

I concur with others about using some oil and giving the tap a 1/4 turn back. Love watching you work - especially the process and commentary that goes along with the job. Greetings from Kansas, USA

[@operator8014]

Sorry man, I have no eye for style or art. I just love your personality while making these. You're such a gem of a human.

[@jakoblundeborg9881]

The steel you ordered (automatstål in swedish) is easy to work with. Cuts like a charm and easy to bend as well. Those bolts you're machining are hardened so your machining experience will be a lot more pleasant! Keep up the good work!

[@1924ab]

That beautiful spoon would make a great gift for parents with a newborn.

Uri, as always I enjoy your videos. Each is a chance to get away from the world a few minutes and give my sanity a bit if a respite. Equally charming are the items you make as well as your personality and your joyful eccentricities make it even more of a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work

im mostly a wood worker but i keep watching because you are a bit scattered but you seem ok with it, like your enjoying your life. i think its part of having a creative mind. i can make great art but i spend a lot of time feeling scattered like you. what im trying to say is that you know how to be yourself and that is the shiny brass key that will unlock the tap and die to happiness :-)

[@slartimus]

Oh my god, those slow pushes in with increasingly tense music while tapping some threads... only for it all to be fine with no taps broken. Uri. Uri, please. 😂

Watching this channel for the first time. I tried turning on the Closed Captions... and KZbin's auto captions interpreted the sounds of the tools as "[Music]". How true, YT. How true. Also, that work looks good. Thanks for showing it.

These are my favorite videos. The random the better lol. You sir are a trip and so much fun and entertaining to watch.

[@bazzatron9482]

Hey Uri - next time you decide to make a spoon - consider the lathe! Us wood-turners make them all the time, and your technique with the tool-post is really not all that dissimilar from when we use a scraper. Would definitely speed up your bulk material removal, and you wouldn't even need to worry about grain direction :) Great work. Maybe you should look at making a tap-follower for your tapping efforts ;)

[@ducomaritiem7160]

I love you, Uri. Keep it up man!

[@YooProjects]

Beautiful project 👍👍

[@BlackSunCompany]

Nice! Agreed, brass tends to look iffy until you get it up to a high polish. Always a pleasure to see one of your uploads! Be very careful with types of free machining steel if these are going to be used in any kind of eating or drinking implements because some types are leaded. The inclusion of lead creates small nodules throughout the steel and provides an easier break for chips, which is why they're good for machining. A couple of other alloys (e.g. those with added sulfur or manganese) have a similar effect without the problems of lead. SAE grades that include an L (12L13 or 12L14 are pretty common) are leaded. Couldn't find specs for automatenstahl like 9SMnPb28 on Matweb but those seem to just list out particular alloying elements and point percentages, so that example would be leaded at .28%.

Nah, it’s fine…. Lead makes everything taste sweeter-just ask the ancient Roman Empire!! 😆😈
