Homemade TAP WRENCH

[@charetjc]

1:46 first time I've seen that trick for centering on the lathe. Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@oxtoolco]

Bravo. Nice tap wrench. Don't let Abom see that one. He will want it for his collection. Cheers, Tom

No way he watch my videos :))))

[@ChrisUhlik]

@ IMHO your machining videos are right up there with the very best on youtube along with Abom79, ThisOldTony, and Stefan Gotteswinter. I'm delighted every time a new video from Cà Lem arrives in my inbox!

[@uMechatronics]

Abom would be jealous :)

[@pacowang283]

You sir are one of the most talented young men I have ever seen. Please do good with these super powers you possess

thank you!!!!!

[@tobyw9573]

Lots of hard work added to the mix.

[@nlo114]

In UK engineering apprentices used to make all their own tools as part of their training on the fitting bench. I still have most of mine, and they have had 45+ years of use. (the ones that have not been "borrowed"). If you buy cheap tools you must expect them to break from time to time. The tap-wrench you have made will be with you for the rest of your days.

[@BestUserNameUK]

Such a shame they stopped teaching metalwork in UK schools.

[@dovah69_5]

With your skills, you could make anything! You would make any employer happy!!! So much talent!!

[@Evolucion7]

This is the reason why a quality tap handle cost so much damn money. Beautiful work, as usual!

thanks, my friend

[@TangentJim]

I forgot something -- Your Video Footage is Excellent - No wasted time -- but your message is absolutely well delivered . You may be in Vietnam and I'm in the USA -- we are connected . More Video's Please !

thank you, sir!!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Wow! You did it again! That just looks amazing.

Thanks buddy! where the hell have you been, we miss you!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Cà Lem I've been sidetracked lately, but I plan to make an update video soon and talk about my plans for the channel.

[@joecool5034]

Beautiful work. You make some great tools.

[@jamen23]

Very clever way of making your tap wrench. You demonstrate great skill and enthusiasm with your hand made tools. I made my own thread die wrench years ago from a piece of 4140 as I was tired of the bought holders failing, threads stripping, and handles going loose. When I finished it, it was bead blasted, polished with steel wool to high light worn edges and blued it with selenous acid. Best thread die holder I have (biased of course)

jamen23 thank you. I bet i’ll last forever

[@nta699]

It is so beautiful to watch you perform your art. Thanks.

[@loxinvisible]

Thank you for sharing your time in the shop and more importantly your time spent editing the video. I look forward to your next project, always learn something new.

thank you!!!

[@Alanbataar]

Very nice! The spring is an excellent addition.

[@dfbess]

Well Done.. your shop is growing and your skills are amazing.

Dustin Bess thank you sir

[@rgmoore]

Gorgeous work! A tool and tool box jewelry in one.

[@Atlantismonkey40]

You have a envious level of detail. Nicely done as expected. You are a true craftsman.

Allen W thank you!!

[@kenttremblay1708]

you are awesome, I hope one day I'll be able to half of what you are doing. I can watch you none stop. Great job!!!

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing. My dad dared me to build him one! He was sick and tired of spreading money on junk. He likes full depth threads.

[@Mikhandmaker]

Amazing job man!! You are an artist!!!

in my country they doesnt call this shit "artist", man and im definitely not. lol

[@Mikhandmaker]

In Spain you will ;-)

[@mannycalavera121]

blue turned out great job well done

[@killerkane1957]

Holy broach Batman! Stunned. I just order a Sterrett and done. You? You roll your own. What a badass. I give up.

[@mrhhj]

Great job. I love the broaching on the milling machine.

thank you!

[@practicemakesbetter7132]

Very clever tap handle and excellent workmanship!

[@spnynorman5519]

Very nice - and now you get the satisfaction of using a tool you made yourself

[@BurtonsAttic]

I just saw this vid! Cool tool! Liked the broaching with the lathe tooling!

[@harlech2]

Love that scribe and the hammer!

[@davidjames1007]

Great job, looks fantastic and functional

[@markchaplain1152]

That is awesome!! I wish I had a small version of that for small taps !

[@Boudico]

My friend - I just stumbled across your channel yesterday and had to Sub right away. The combination of styles between ToT, Diresta, Abom and a few others, plus your own --- great content. Keep it up.

[@naseem8817]

Outstanding job

[@oldhick9047]

Excellent machining and a well done video. Thank you P.S. My father said your country is beautiful, made even more so by It's fine people

[@claudiarivera8572]

Excelente trabajo 👏👏👏

[@josezepeda7198]

Impressive just impressive the force is strong with you ...

[@trashes_to_treasures]

Super nice and super fun to watch!

[@phantomproject9020]

nice realization, good calem ! Liquid magic :)

[@mohammedfairozsharieff6189]

Excellent piece of work

[@articcat121]

Wow this is amazing ! I wish I had the tools to make one as I need one.

[@tableshaper4076]

Cool! I had no idea you could chisel metal like that, another quality video.

thank you!!!

[@DuncanAitken]

Indeed! It's a technique called 'broaching'. There are 2 main types: Linear (most common, used to make angular cuts (most commonly for keyway slots)) and Rotary (for square /hexagonal etc. holes).

[@adamzdebik847]

I like your work. Best regards from Germany.

[@pauldavidson6321]

Looks just like my old "RECORD" brand tap wrench very nice.

[@thoughtsy]

Wow! Awesome work there

[@outsidescrewball]

awesome build....

[@mototallerapmotos]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Perfect 👏👏👏👏

[@henryschchch2668]

Nice, this video reminds me my times like machinist, good job.

[@hoernst2762]

Tolle Arbeit!!! So einen Halter suche ich noch

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 that'll around for awhile 🙂 Nice!

[@railgap]

re; @5:04 - we need to get you a Bridgeport 'E' (shaper) head for your mill. Can mount on the other and of the ram, just swivel the turret around to use it. (I want one too, haven't got one yet, but it's on my mental wish list) - this was a great project and video BTW, nicely edited, concise, clear, so it's very accessible by others who might want to do something similar - and as usual, you did beautiful work.

[@malcolm2501]

Every time I see something in slow motion. I expect something to break :) Very nice work man!

haha. me too. thanks, my friend!

[@curm1778]

I can't tell if you're an artist, a machinist, a designer, sculptor, or all that. Certainly a musician. I do know I am a big fan of you work/art/designs. If you ever start a catalog of things you build for sale, I'd be interested. I'll take one of your vise-anvils and a tap wrench, please.

Cur M just matter of nothing buddy :)))

[@fazernaoficina]

Nice work...greetings from Brazil Celso Ari

[@GeoffreyCroker]

Awesome work Ca Lem

thanks, man! i love your myford btw :))))

[@omskariyazmaraikayer913]

Pure metal madness.!! Vow!!

[@thedacchio]

awesome!! from italy :)

[@anangirawan4990]

Nice handmade Tap wrench my friend..exelent .

[@AverageJoe2020]

Lovely job.

thank you, man!

[@devrajrana8143]

Very work hard and genius ideas Knowledge of lathe and milling workmanship

[@TomMakeHere]

Very nice! Great result with the cold blue, mine always ends up faded

Tommy Gun Machining [Affetkak] thank you, buddy

[@Cromwell648]

Nice design, well made 🇬🇧

[@MRNVCDIY]

hi friend, good job,

thank you, sir!

[@giorgimezurnishvili01]

why do some metals have sparks like at 5:50 while milling surface and others don't?

[@jprams4870]

Genial el vídeo felicitaciones, una pregunta. Que producto usaste para darle el color negro?

[@nunesmotos351]

Uma ferramenta especial. Mas as que compro não chega nem se parecer com essa. Obrigado pelo vídeo. Bom de mais.

[@YeahAkka]

When i was in university we have a manufacturing process practicum and what do we do? we build tap wrench and for the inner piece, we were only allowed to use files

[@DuncanAitken]

5:50 Was the 'random piece' you found cast iron? Sparks seem reddish.

[@BopJklMAAMAR]

What material does it add to iron in order to change its color to black

[@BopJklMAAMAR]

@Yofan Yuanditra Does it make sense that we skimp on the answer

[@Dirtstroyer]

Hi @Cà Lem Can you tell the brand you used for blackening the parts...BTW awesome work as always :)

[@eloyworkshop541]

Un diseño precioso, menudas manos tienes, muy buen trabajo compañero, saludos!!¡

thank you, my friend

[@werschkowdennis6533]

Good job.👍👍👍

[@emilianopalacin986]

Estupendo trabajo. Saludos de España

[@orpheusadam3309]

Excellent, good job bro

[@bixo5191]

Un gran trabajo tio👏👍

[@jh7589]

that 2nd live centre you use for clocking in the square piece is fucking clever. your hammer and scribe in brass are beautiful too. How are you locking up your spindle to do the slotting on your mill? i have a bridgeport and want to slot but cant lock up spindle 9:47 when you need three hands

[@tanveersaifi]

Great work

[@troyam6607]

FANTASTIC! couldnt click like fast enough. You should have a look at oxtools fine adjust wheel for the mill you would have liked it while broaching :)

yeah i did watch his video, bro. absolutely awesome.

[@abelgonzalesalva3925]

Te quedó muy bien felicidades!

[@AllCost]

My hero!...kkkkkk Belo trabalho.

[@jrand2631]

Another great job - well done. :-)

[@A5566z2]

Man i just love your videos thanx for shearing

thank you!

[@rgmveraart]

Beautifull made!!!

[@willi-fg2dh]

i'm still not clear on how you made the adapter for the four-jaw using the tap wrench you made with the four-jaw. [ is this one of those This Old Tony time machine lathes? ]

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Nice bit of kit.

[@mohsinmohd2847]

I like your work

[@dariuszwroblewski2000]

Nice job.

[@edigvn]

excellent work, I have a doubt the magic liquid that ...

[@billchiasson2019]

Great job!!

[@killtune]

Awesome work Ca Lem as all of your vids are. More talking would be great, and your if very good and understandable.

[@sergiorivas3854]

Gracias por Compartir sus conocimientos. Felicitaciones

[@Shawn_White]

3:03 just the other day we were talking about the subject of irony in class and I couldn't come up with a good example :p

[@DuncanAitken]

Yeah, I got to that part and went '...wait a minute...' haha

[@garagemonkeysan]

Beautiful tool. Nice video.: )

[@facelessdiy]

your hand"s is the real magic. 🤘🤘🤘

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work

thanks, man!

[@jamesbaumann1180]

As usual - great!

thank you!!

[@joandar1]

Great Job and workmanship! I would have liked to see you stamp/engrave or still yet etch your name on this tool. I made one a few months ago and stamped it with Country and Name. Cheers from John, Australia. PS: Thumbs UP.

thank you!

[@phucnguyenCNC]

Awesome work!

thank you, brother!

[@stevecanny1583]

Super nice Cà Lem! :)
