Gears and Gear Cutting Book (affiliate link) - amzn.to/3WtS4ep
How have I managed to avoid this core component of a machinists’ repertoire for so long? The time has come… for gears. But I like making tools a lot more than I like making not tools. So before I can make any gear, naturally, I need to make the gear cutter. Which requires making a few other tools, too. So many tools, in fact, that it will take me two videos to finish this project. And maybe by the end of this adventure I will properly be able to say "Eureka!".

I am not a machinist, I don't even know 99% of what you say, but I somehow and enthralled in what you do. I have watched everyone of your videos minimum of twice. It wasn't until I saw the ratcheting gear cutter assembly that I really began to applaude you. Your commitment to machining, always giving kudos to your late grandfather, Who by the way I am sure was an amazing person and friend and mentor, but also to your wife and family. I am sickened by what I see in this world today and the kids who have no clue about what it takes to be a good person, which starts from the home. You and your channel mean more to people than just cutting away metal, it shows happiness is earned, cultivated and come from a place of sincerity and family values.

Those Smokey mountain taffy logs have a good story behind them. The lady in charge of the business was growing desperate to find someone to continue her legacy, as she felt her own children and grandchildren would just sell the recipe and business. She met an aussie called Sam Morris, who was interested in starting his own taffy business in Aus, and she gave him the recipe. He started a business in my hometown of Bunbury, WA, making taffy to that recipe, and many years later I worked for them and made the same taffy

I have a few thoughts; A(lways). The introduction to the thing you're making being a candid discussion with Mrs. Inheritance was a really nice touch. Refreshing while also being very informative, nice! B(e). I'm glad the little box of shame is still part of the picture. It's too late, he was established as a main character. You can't ever get rid of him C(hamfering). With how important chamfers are here, I think you missed a perfect opportunity at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="579">9:39</a>. Some googley eyes and maybe some eyebrows on the set screws of the chamfer tool would have been **chef kiss** for that shot Looking forward to the next half :D

"Not gonna lie"-that's an odd expression. It implies that you are in the habit of lying on a regular basis, but that this lone case is an exception to the rule. If you think about it, it's a damning statement of self-indictment.

[@VoidedWarranty]

Tip on the 4140 murder spaghetti when roughing, I find that if I take as deep of a cut as I can, like way deeper than normal (like 0.15" off th dia at .008" feed on a wussy 10" lathe), and slow the rpm down to where the chip comes off the tool not quite blue but turns blue again an inch later (150-250 rpm on 2" dia), it turns into tight spirals that has a reasonable chance of breaking. Or at least can be fed into the chip pan as one long noodle. 4140 is worse than a lot of stuff for those strings if youre either not pushing hard enough or spinning too fast or slow. I love the finish 4140 pre-hard makes though!

One thing which might catch the unwary about the sneaky use of a hex collet block to make 12 equispaced features (if as in this case, they are other than simple tangent faces) is that the cutter has to be moved to a new height to cut the seventh through twelfth features.
