Using that piece of paper as a punch is the definition of thinking out of the box. Holy Moly that is a fantastic idea that I would never have thought of. Joe, you never cease to amaze me. Keep it up!

[@georgebehlke8064]

That brass jam screw arbor for the small set screw was magical 👍

[@sixcylinders6346]

Joe, I’m not an engineer, I’m a woodworker, but I’ve been following this build and have been absolutely astonished at the level of skill you have shown, in particular when you have gone off piste and made your own changes to the plans. I have subscribed to your channel and the next video cannot come soon enough for me. Fantastic work Sir. You keep making the videos and I will keep watching them. The end product is truly going to be a work of art. Peter

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Go back and visit ALL his other posts. Guaranteed to leave you in near disbelief.

[@sixcylinders6346]

Yeah I have already visited a few of his past videos and, as you say, unbelievable quality of workmanship.

[@moorejl57]

It has been a lot of fun watching a model building project from the lens of an experienced machinist. I feel like each video is a full meal of learning.

[@leonply]

Your work is world class! However, the sense of humour raises it's head, wondering how on earth you're going to teach GI Joe how to use it, once you've built it all! Great video, as always!

[@joepie221]

Actually, its more sized for GI Joe's 15 year old son.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Joe, absolutely amazing, I’ve said to myself during every video that there’s no way my fingers would hang on to the size of these parts, I’d have things lost everywhere, it’s a credit to you with how these parts and components look, I’m throughly enjoying this series, take care, cheers Matty

[@arthurspader5423]

Joe, what an amazing work! I'd be proud to have something like that in my desk and say that i did that myself. I'd be impressed if you made a live center or a drill chuck for this lathe! You're a high quality and talented professional

[@joepie221]

Thank you. I enjoy what I do.

[@e2jw]

That was awesome Joe - I'm just loving this project! Thanks for doing it - what fabulous results and very well planned and executed!

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Joe, The tailstock looks sweet. I like how you come up with fixtures to machine small parts like that setscrew. When you it in your palm, was thinking don't sneeze. What's next, the bed? You all stay safe.

[@craigsuslosky3974]

Fantastic work again!! Love the solution for holding the set screw, thanks for sharing!!

[@jcadult101]

Just when I think it can't get any more insane, out comes an invisible set screw.

[@joepie221]

I honestly couldn't tell it was laying in my hand.

[@slarti42uk]

Work of art! For a minute with the set screw I thought you might break out the tiny chuck from this build :-D chuck in a collet

I never thought I'd say this, but my Sherline tailstock dwarfs this one. Superb work Joe!

[@davidmyhre2720]

Thanks Joe, If I would of had you for a teacher 47 years ago my life path would probably been different. You are great at what you do!!!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I am always amazed at how you can make ever smaller parts. Thanks for the video.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Wonderful Sunday morning viewing Thanks as always Joe, big love to you and yours Ralfy

[@joepie221]

Same to you!

[@KimbrellBrad]

Super camera work here Joe. That overhead view is the nuts! And I would have really struggled trying to figure out how to hold that tiny screw - the jamb screw was an inspired solution! Learning something every episode! Loving this series!

[@stefpeters9855]

Like you i'm not a fan of holding an endmill in a drilling chuck but sometimes the situation just calls for it... I see that you use the same brand chucks as i do so there are no worries using them in such way. These are the best money can buy! Good choice!. As you are progressing in this project, i am building the same lathe in a metric version, so i am very thankful for your insights!

[@Preso58]

Well, my Colchester does not have an index dial on the tailstock and your model one does! Clearly a deluxe lathe. 😃

[@joepie221]

Thanks for stopping by Mark. My little machine will be high end when I'm done.

[@rchristie5401]

Good Lord, Joe i had to use a magnifying glass just to watch this!!! lol Awesome work!

[@paullewis6612]

Joe, the best thing about seeing you work with small parts is that your hands are clean, nails clean and trimmed. WELL DONE.

[@joepie221]

Thank you. I changed the front brake rotors and pads on my truck this past weekend. That wasn't so clean.

[@howder1951]

Great work Joe, I like you going with the cotter type lock rather than the huge slit required by the print. I know it will be entertaining. Once again you show us that it can be done, cheers! Congratulations on all the comments you have garnered, I thought I was the only one enjoying this feat, but i see comments from many distinguished you-tubers, glad you are having fun with this!

[@joepie221]

I'm flattered when other respected craftsmen check in and leave a positive comment. The lock should be fun to figure out. I personally don't like the split.

[@houdini9697]

Joe, i made the same little lathe your making about 6 years ago. never got around to making the 4 jaw chuck cause i couldn't decide how to go about itm till i watched you make yours. half of it's done but had to stop cause something on my 11 inch Rockwell lathe came loose and it want go in backgear or lock the spindle. much appreciate watching your expertize in all this and all your other projects. now i gotta go back and do all the screws LH so it's proper. keep teaching us man, you are the man thanks, Paul

[@JustinAlexanderBell]

I really love this series.

[@ChrisB257]

Yet again - I could see some significant set-up challenges. Like your approach which as always sets up great reference surfaces - so important. Joy to watch your sequence Joe - super work, with usual patience of a saint That set screw is ridiculously small! I'd never have managed 7 mins on that little hand wheel!! Bravo for all your editing work :)

[@joepie221]

Thanks for the comments. It took a few days to shoot and edit this one.

[@ruperthartop7202]

It just gets better every week !!

I don't think I've ever seen a set screw that small. The way you turned that nub was genius.

You are the man! I have watched several videos on your lathe model. I have utmost respect for your ability. Not many are capable of what you do. I hope you are passing it down to someone. The absence of these skills is why we could not produce another Saturn rocket in this day and age. 🍻

Excellent work Joe - I love it! I noticed that you have a good selection of needle files - if you want even finer and smaller files you should get a set of "escapement files" available from jewellery/jewelry tool suppliers.

I hate to even think what the bill would be if you were charging your hourly rate for this project... : ) I often find myself spending a lot of time making something I could buy for less "cost", but as a hobbyist, I consider it an investment in honing my skills. Thanks again Joe!

A normal reaction would be to fall on the floor and laugh once the real price tag was added. The time and effort to film and shoot this build makes this a very valuable model. 5 figures valuable.

[@charlescartwright6367]

Aloha Joe I still have a problem forgiving you for NOT doing this before I did mine.... But I have learned much from your methods and tooling availability dictates what we do. I think the weak spot of these kits is the hardware, slotted screws look bad!!! I made a few hex head bolts and screws, but getting things to Hawaii in a acceptable condition still is a problem. I was trying to use hex stock to make these items, but some of them had a runout that made almost 50% of the stock not useable not a bend, but multiple bends, post office rollers? Thanks for sharing and it is always better the second time around. By the way 1" stock and up survives well!!!!😏
