Kurtis, I want to pass on my thoughts about your work. I'm now retired and 73. I live through some of the video's I watch. One of my stops along the way was a QC supervisor for a precision machine firm who made parts for medical pumps, injectors, and robotic joints. I am very impressed with your knowledge of the trade. Knowing your machines, tools, and the nature of materials sets people like you apart from the chip makers. I can say I can't think of anyone I knew who was at your level. Great job to you and the Mrs.

[@davebrewton4622]

I cannot believe that people criticize SO much of what you do. I enjoy watching just to see how you do things. I figure that I might learn something, and that's a good thing..

[@peter-pg5yc]

The sign of a master they make their own tooling etc.. kudos

[@simonrival1613]

I'm kinda surprised that tailstock chucks aren't a common attachment that you can just buy. Seems like a super helpful item.

[@SpookyMcGhee]

I've seen a couple commercially made ones pop up in the past year, but they're either cheap junk or ridiculously expensive. I work as a (manual only) tool and die machinist at a fairly large shop and the nice thing about bigger shops is a lot of times when you ask for tooling or a certain tool they'll just order it regardless of how expensive it may be if they see the usefulness of said tool(s). So I have a couple of those tailstock chucks 😂

[@scottturcotte1860]

Glad I caught this video, because probably like many folks, I didn't realize that your live center tailstock chucks were shop made. Because of the size work you do, I just assumed these were specialty tooling items purchased from a machine shop goods supplier. My little old South Bend lathe with just a 13 inch swing and 3 feet between centers just might get one these some day soon! Thanks for sharing this, because I have seen how handy this tool is from many of your other videos. It is a build well worth me considering for myself after seeing how much easier using one makes your machining and set up work go. Another great video with some more useful knowledge to take away. Thanks again.

[@robertdart1684]

as a retired farmer and self taught machinist with help of a mate who has his own machine shop 600 kms away often spent much more time making bits to hold something in the lathe or mill than actually machining the part . I started watching Keith Fenner about 10yrs ago then Abom then this old Tony Now at Last i have subscribed to a AUSSIE channel being a SOUTH AUSSIE think it is great to have a good Australian channel showing how to get her done keep up the good work.

Hey Robert thanks heaps mate for the support, even better a fellow Aussie! Cheers, Kurtis 🇦🇺😎👍

[@martinslade1542]

G'day Robert, I am also a South Aussie farmer (but not retired for a while yet!) and have taken up machining, partly for work jobs but mostly as a hobby. At least I can still claim the money I spend on tooling etc as a legitimate business expense, fortunately! I am also learning from similar channels on here, as well as previously gleaning info from a mentor, the local machinist/engineer in town, who has sadly passed recently. Just wondering what part of S.A you were farming and where the machine shop your mate runs is located. Cheers, Marty.

[@rupert5390]

Legend - as I've said before, I'm a bit of a junkie of the machining vids - I subscribe and watch all the major US channels - your stuff trounces most or all channels in terms of the sheer scale of your work - also it takes an Aussie with the "I didn't know it can't be done so I did it" mentality - to just make up that set up because you needed it is awesome - I guess most would have gone for the steadies or not do the job. Thanks again.

[@urbanwillis2212]

A true genius at work! I worked in a job shop that was the largest privately held shop in Ft Worth, Texas back in the 1970s. Allot of "emergency work" at the end of the day. Those tools would have saved so much time and frustration when you are left alone with instructions to "finish the job before going home regardless of how long it takes." Pissed off and drunk welders leaving pitting and slag in their welds could have been completely bypasses for a clean finish on the parts. Congratulations on your inventions. They are great.

[@Stubones999]

That is amazing! I've never seen anyone ever use a tailstock chuck before and I guess that answers the question why not... Great machining! Tell your missus thanks for taking the time to share your craftsmanship with is!

[@warrenjones744]

Nice bearing set up. I made one under similar circumstances for a 3 mt machine. I needed it like ...now. I Used a 3 MT arbor I bought for something else that never got done and machined it to fit a stack of common sealed ball bearings I had in the shelf. Turned up a back plate to suit the bearing OD & pressed it all together. It works well and got the job done. However tapered roller bearings really are the way to go with both axial and radial loads. Cheers

I just spent the last 5 days cleaning and sorting parts of my house to be able to take on and foster a rescue Alaskan malamute. Not had a malamute in 9 years since i lost my babygirl to cancer. 9 years of man cave and male singleness lol Then the rescue people did a home check at 9am yesterday, took photos. Asked for updated photos about 1ish, then 5pmish, then 9pm...no word about, yes or no, so by 11pm my anxiety is at 100000000/10 And i message thru saying cant take this anymore, i was under the impression there were multiple places offered and i was low down the list due to a small yard and no garden, but 2mins across the road i have access to a massive wood and the old canals network, plus i have massive amounts of malamute training history. Trained to show abd work the dogs. Trained to work away behavioural issues. Found out i'm getting slagged off in a post on the rescue group, that i pulled out and was due to get him. Downside, my sciatica is at max pain, I don't have the dog, i have to put away the dog crate, collars, harness, leads, bowls, upside part of house is pretty immaculate, i have space in the yard to finish a motorcycle camping trailer welding project. Such is life..
