HOME SHOP JIGS & FIXTURES PART 4, MACHINING A PLATE FIXTURE, SHAPER, DRILL PRESS & ROUND COLUMN MILL

Fourth video initiating novice or home machinists to jig and fixture design. Jigs and fixtures are simple and effective tools that can increase productivity in the home shop when identical multiple parts must be produced. More specifically, this video looks at machining a plate jig using a shaper, a drill press and a round column mill. Increase part accuracy and increase the rate of production while using existing tools, why not!!! As for all THATLAZYMACHINIST videos, this video is produced for novice , garage or beginner machinists. You can find all my videos as well as project drawings and course notes on my website THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM

Thanks for understanding that I am a professional toolmaker and teacher but I am not a professional video producer (and it shows). I produce these videos for fun as a little retirement project that lets me give back a little of what was passed on to me by so many amazing trades people most of whom, sadly, are no longer with us.

Great to see you back. I have put off watching this video for a bit so I could savor it. You are a joy to watch and you are so good at explaining what and why you do things. I really value your channel but more importantly you.

[@mchiodox69]

Great content! Always look forward to your videos

[@justtim9767]

I shake a lot worse than you do, and it's getting worse. I sometimes use a spoon when eating, forks are to dangerous. I feel your pain sir.

[@chriscraven9572]

Same problem. I've lost count of the number of times I've stuck the toothbrush up my nose whilst cleaning my teeth. The more I try and control it the worse it gets. I've found it best to just stop let the tremor die down and then continue. The problem seems to be slow response in the neural feedback in my dominant arm which started after a bad dislocation of the shoulder.

[@dolata000]

Good to see you again. Your videos are always highly educationl. Thanks for all the work.

[@JohnBlack-dv8ss]

Bonjour, keep up great learning videos. ive just began learning on a mondiale celtic12 lathe. I have found your online lathe series the most helpful out of all youtube. I personally would like to thank you for your time and effort, that you have put into the sharing of your great wealth of knowledge and experience . Thank you.

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Didn’t know they had end mills in the Bronze Age, nicely sharpened BTW. 😃👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Great to see you again Marc! Another fantastic video in the can ! Greetings from down under and keep well !

[@infoanorexic]

Good seeing you. Keep plugging along. Hope Woody shows up to make an alarm of your rain gutters really soon. Always easier to get out to the shop when the weather isn't frigid. I had a male Cardinal that started attacking his reflection in my kitchen window one spring. I always knew it was spring when I started getting woke up by him early in the morning. Thump! ... Thump! ... Thump! Three years in a row of that. I'd have to get up and open the window enough for him to see the cat, and he'd go away and attack himself in the pickup mirror. Might as well make my coffee and get outside by then. He finally clocked himself one day, and I *think* the outside cat got him. One of his progeny, I assume (clearly a different and younger bird), succeeded him, but he didn't last very long. I called him (and Jr.) "Billy Birdbrain."

[@burnthillmachine]

Welcome back. Hope all is well with you and your family. Hope to see a lot more of your videos.

[@Polaris1200Storm]

Another great video! Thank you! I have learned so much from your videos. I still have lots to learn!

[@pickwizard-aka-Stevie]

nice work Marc, very well explained, off to watch the other parts now

[@katgartner9018]

Thank you

[@edward-x3s6f]

🙏🙏🙏

[@roknor]

Very informative, thank you. My question is about cutting fluid. I liberally apply lots of cutting fluid whenever I mill (got a mill drill similar to yours). I am wasting my time and money on cutting fluid? Or are you not using cutting fluid so the videos are better?

[@dumpsterdave3710]

Cutting fluid is very cheap and will help prolong the life of your cutter. A $10 bottle should last a long time.

[@roknor]

@@dumpsterdave3710 That is my feeling exactly.

[@THATLAZYMACHINIST]

Hi Roknor, I answered your question at the start of part five of this jigs & fixtures series. Hers is a link to my video on cutting fluids and cutting oils. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eZi5lurK2reLc Thanks for a great question, I hope this answers all your questions, Marc.
