MACHINING a Multifix HANDLE

[@ThisOldTony]

nice work!

[@AsitShouldBe]

Everyone doing handle after my mechanic, lol😁😁

🥰🥰

[@AsitShouldBe]

@ you are very famous, also here in italy, bye friend.

[@The.Talent]

I’m please to see that ThisOldTony is just as much of a KZbin subscriptions hound as I am.

[@buckinthetree1233]

I wonder if T.O.T. is still trying to teach his mill how to count.

[@NeMoC53]

As always I’m very impressed with your work. I’ve been around machining all my life and for a guy your generation to have your skills and level of patience and care..... this is a rare thing. Well done.

[@Ab6killer]

I so much love the editing and the quality of the videos!!!!!!!!! One of the best content in youtube for me!!!! keep the great work!!!!

[@FredMiller]

Very impressive! Thank you to taking us along on your journey (and the destination was spectacular)

[@ShotgunAU]

Cheers bro, even a deceivingly simple handle shows it takes great skill to make.

[@willi-fg2dh]

every part a work of art (actually better than art, a work of craft!)

[@railgap]

That is so true. I have a fair dinkum home shop, with machine tools, welding, etc. available to me, and I am completely stymied by my desire to make a fine-feed handwheel for my Bridgeport! I would need to buy a bunch of expensive tooling I don't have... so I'll wind up buying the real thing for $70 because the $10 plastic one will NOT feel satisfying to use. *sigh* Further evidence you can never have too many tools / too much tooling.

[@michaelgillen3537]

Well done brother! Love that round bar boring tool trick for the balls! Your approach to projects always involves your ingenuity. Keep it coming as you have a big fan here.

[@jonfranklin4583]

As usual Sir, a fine job of machining and videography! I really like your use of fast forwarding and high speed through all the basic turning and focusing on the parts that really matter. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Creative use of all the tools you have, with a great result!! The art of machining.

[@leriksenbendigo]

That's Jedi-level skill right there.

[@mattmax8599]

Beautiful. Using your mill and a broken end mill to broach the teeth for the wrench just blew my mind!

[@cogentdynamics]

Your skills in machining, mechanics and video editing are sublime. Very, very enjoyable. Thank you!

[@richardhead8264]

_Next time you encounter a roadblock, _*_This Man_*_ used a quill to broach a 12-point star with a scrap cutter!_ ☝🏼

[@CoincidenceTheorist]

He’s the man for sure. I admire him. He makes v excellent Objects and his videos are beautiful.

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Beautiful work, as always. Merry Christmas from Norway!

[@chrispavlou6602]

beautiful result! I really like your lathe also. and the way you restored it

[@stevenjefferson3379]

What a gifted machinist you are! Well done.

[@davesmith9325]

Beautiful craftsmanship.. like everything you do. ! Thank you for sharing your skill

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

We have grown to expect nothing but perfection from you. And you never let us down. Awesome as always. Gary

Thank you sir!

[@CraigsWorkshop]

That's a great addition to the toolpost. I love the broaching of the 12 point hole, and I bet you are very happy with the fit you got.

[@lohikarhu734]

Wow, now THAT'S A SET! Envy strikes ;+) Man, when it comes to refurbishing, re-purposing, refining, rebuilding, you are "the man"!

[@hugoschmeisser2484]

you are awesome. The quality of work you do is on a whole other level. nice job

[@TysyTube]

Awesome work 😎

[@daveh777]

Just discovered you today. WOW!!! Excellent video!!!! Very inspirational to home hobbyist as myself.

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

Very well done. A nice cleanup of the original Multifix and I like the handle. I was talking to the computer screen as you were tempering the end done! A very nice straw colour. A good point to stop for an item that will see such heavy use. You will enjoy your tool holder for years to come!

Kinda lucky Lol 😂

[@wizrom3046]

Beautiful result, and beautiful photography too.

[@sanjayr7977]

Awesome !!! You never fail to amaze me. With love and best wishes from South Africa.

[@wbryantclark]

Sweet!!! Well done sir. Like always, you're expanding your skill set while adding to your tool set. Beautiful handle, I'm impressed. 👍

[@emilianopalacin986]

Muy buen trabajo. Maestro. Un saludo desde España

[@mikemichelizzi2023]

Excellent work and clever use of the boring head on the lathe!

[@jakevalent6180]

Eye candy brother. The way you film stands out as crystal clear professionalism. Its as dedicated looking as the work itself

[@johndebrular979]

Never seen a boring head used that way. Excellent work. You set the standard pretty high for us to follow. The bad part is not many will ever reach your level of skill but it gives a level to shoot for. All the best.

[@hartiaacres]

Nice job. Some creative machining. That,s what it,s a bout. Thinking outside the box!!!

[@leslieaustin151]

Ca Lem, do you ever make anything that’s ugly? Wonderful work, as always. Thank you. Les in UK

Let me think... Maybe i will try some ;)

[@haphazard1342]

@ I just can't imagine it. Even your car battery stick welding is nice stacked dimes.

[@rgmoore]

Wonderful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@randynovick7972]

Huh. Wait a minute... you have a complete multifix set?! That's amazing all by itself, in my book. Lovely handle, and a pleasure to watch as always.

[@railgap]

I guess you haven't seen many of his other videos yet - prepare to be amazed! He seems to have access to the world's best boneyard / mystery supply of lightly rusted, heavily encrusted, perfectly serviceable machines and tooling, which he then takes home, spends zillions of hours (I'm not convinced he sleeps) restoring and returning to as-new condition with genuine TLC. I don't know whether he has teachers other than KZbin, but if so, they should be damned proud of him. And if he is self-taught, then so much more pride is justified. (yet he seems humble, too. He's in my Pantheon of Machine Shop Mafia here on YT, including Adam (Abom79), Tom Lipton (Oxtoolco) and This Old Tony.

[@outsidescrewball]

Awesome craftsmanship and build....thanks for sharing

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 I held my breath when you put the hole in the handle great result.

[@wlogue]

Awesome work Mr. Ca Lem! Thank you, and take care!

[@bradthayer6782]

Really creative work, especially how you made the 12-point teeth. That made me say “wow.”

[@kevinbreslin5718]

Professor Lem Could you explain why you did it that way? I'm serious and have no ability to do this

[@classicbandgeek]

@@kevinbreslin5718 a 12-point box end similar to most wrenches makes securing it on a fastener much less fidgety and broaching the 12 points on the rotary table/dividing head is WAY more accurate to keeping the cuts perpendicular to the faces than trying to file them to shape since it can't be cut with an end mill. That, and trying to file 4340 would be the furthest thing from a dance around the maypole.

[@N.Cognito]

My first though was he needs a shaper.

[@JoggingWithForks]

You do beautiful work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@USM247]

Amazing! Such precision on a relatively simple project.

[@Dave.Wilson]

Interesting way of ball turning, Lots of us have boring heads, just another way of using it!! Ingenious.

[@scratch_440]

Awesome content as usual. Always excited to check out your projects.

[@pcasme]

As always, very impressive and accurate work!

[@samrodian919]

Very nice Ca Lem! You are a true machinist! That handle is a work of art and far better than the ones coming out of China! Your Multifix restoration looks totally awesome! Is that the original big one you got a couple of years ago? If so, that was in a sorry state when you got it, but now it's brand new again! Well done!

[@TheEvertw]

A work of art. You are an inspiration.

[@MrHristoB]

Amazing craftsmanship lad!!! Well done lad!!!

[@Yosemite610]

I haven't left a comment on every video, but need to now ;') The overall reaction is 'beautiful'. The 'cinemaphotography' is really great, love the higher res (compliments your work) and I think the lighting works very well. The editing has tension in the beginning (at least) because I don't understand the method, the 'solutions' and your 'method' only becomes clearer as the video progresses, leaving me mentally oohing and ahhing as I realize what you're doing. IIRC the word technology comes from the Greek word Teknos which means 'art' or anything created by 'hand' or with intention. What I see in your videos is artistic, both in production and subject... The work you are doing AND the way you present it ;') As always, thanks!

Thank you brother 🥰

[@cavemaneca]

Nice quality tool, and great job on restoring that multi fix set.

[@daveincanada4794]

Mesmerizing! Best wishes from Canada!

[@DaGauntlett]

Nice handle. Youre a master in metal. Great to see the lathe is full operational.

[@jerryglen986]

CA lem you are an excellent machinist. And your shop is great. Amazing how you rebuild your entire machine shop into a first class place. It's an honor to follow your channel 😁👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🆗🔧🔧🔨

Thank you ;)

[@hjdorn]

This is a piece of art. Very nice.

[@465maltbie]

Very nicely done, thanks for sharing. Charles

[@ls2005019227]

Very impressive!! Heat treating was icing on the cake-

[@XRENOVINA]

Добрая работа! Сам я делал лет 10 назад себе такую ручку , только как у оригинала шарик - отдельная деталь на резьбе и шлицы не долбил , а ротационной прошивкой за два раза. До сих пор служит.

[@railgap]

Oh man, the finished item is really nice! Great work! I have watched a lot of your videos, and please believe me when I say that you are making the world a better place.

Yeah i wil save the world with stones and wood sticks 😅

[@BurtonsAttic]

Sweet "bro"aching tool bro!

Thanks brother 🥰😅

[@st3althyone]

The amount of knowledge you have amassed is amazing, your tenacity and spirit is unflagging and your work ethic unmatched. I always eagerly look forward to watching all your content as soon as it arrives like fresh bread straight from the oven it’s best consumed fresh. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Cà Lem!

Thank you brother 🥰

[@joemiller5110]

Thanks for sharing your time and talents!

[@spectatecomment7306]

Ingenious as always. I have trouble reading your text notes. Can you make them larger font and bold please?

[@classicbandgeek]

Closed captioning like Primitive Technology would be wonderful - in case you just want to sit back and watch the zen of machining without the text :)

[@sidewaysaction9983]

Best ball method I've seen. Brilliant.

[@azonicds]

I'm impressed every time you put videos out, keep doing what you doing!

[@HenningJohansen]

I loved your solution for turning the balls at the ends of the handle. Adam Booth would love a handle like this.

[@brendanmaltby1424]

Your the cleverest person on KZbin by a mile. Fantastic work

[@richardcurtis556]

I'll bet watching you file that final fit puts a big smile on Tom Lipton's face.

[@sksee882002]

Very smart in the way you make the handle and the keyway!

[@wojciech_migda]

Few weeks ago I finished refurbishing my Multifix holders, but I have painted them yellow ;-). I will post the process once I find the time to edit the footage. Nice work as always, and as always your films are too short, because they are a joy to watch!!!

Yellow is cool. I mean warm. Warm but cool lol

[@kenknight4560]

Bloody awesome work! Looking forward to more great videos in 2021.

[@jaime33912]

Incredible talent! Very inspiring!

[@a.bakker64]

Love it! 🤩 Tip: please use a piece of cardboard over the bed of the lathe when grinding.

Thank you. I should have done it.

[@MrHuntnfish]

Ca Lem, very professional, great workmanship as always, have a great Xmas, may you be showered with many tools.

[@dixonqwerty]

Excellent work as always!!!!!

[@terryritchings242]

I enjoy your videos, thanks for making them and the effort and work you put into the restorations and things that you make is just.....Awesome.!

[@igeinen]

Art of machining 😊 could you make short video about your ball turning tools and method? I liked!!

[@malcolm2501]

The slow motion segment is really scary 😦 always expect something to go wrong. Very nice work man!

[@camatbattler2233]

Great job on the handle and love the finish. I think the Multifix Tool Holders are the best quick change tool system around and are fairly easy to make up if you can't afford to buy them new. Just Subbed in and really like what you do. Cam

[@brutusyt2842]

Gorgeous! 👌 (and the quick change makes lathe work at least 10x more enjoyable instead of shimming tools every time)

Exactly. 4 ways toolpost only good for multiple shop jobs or really heavy big machines.

[@forrestaddy9644]

Very handsome and I learned a new trick: square off the end of a hard pin for use as an inside radius tool. I've been a machinist for 60 years and I've learned to stay humble. There's always something to learn in this trade of ours.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Cà Lem, absolutely beautiful handle, the internal spline is a perfect fit, I really need to make a ball turning attachment, there has been a few projects that I could of used one, great video as always, thanks for sharing, cheers Matty

Yeah. Using your homemade boring head😉

[@ReiniGrauer]

Amazing as always! I love the idea of the boring head as a ball turner on the lathe.

[@kreglamirand2637]

Always awesome watching you work my man!

[@chrisbolton4900]

That handle is a work of art.

[@latemnf]

That broaching method was very clever. Amazing work.

[@loupitou06fl]

Awesome project, the surface finish in the lathe on this 4140 is superb. Loved the boring bar ball turning trick. Do you mind sharing the geometry of the end mill you placed in the boring bar ?

just 2 degrees relief ground off the end of it. Square should be fine though.

[@klauspisch7491]

I wish You could show us more of your newest workshop and the quality of the Mori

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

No tool post is complete without some bling 😁. Nicely done!

[@classicbandgeek]

Watching your videos is like poetry in motion.

[@Dr_Frog]

Always impressed with your skill level, you are definitely in a different place than most in terms of your abilities.

[@JorgenLarsson]

Really nice! Looks better than new! 👍👍

[@TomChame]

Beautiful job, thanks.

[@KodyBear5605]

Well done, Ice Cream, as usual... Ya never cease to amaze me.

Thanks uncle Dave 😉

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

You never cease to amaze me!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Nice video. Great lighting and composition. Wrench is awesome. Mahalo for sharing! : ) 🐒

[@ilpirata17]

Nice broaching technique, I might borrow that sometime. Fantastic work as always my friend!

Sure. Anytime 😉

[@rocksolidhugo]

Very nice. A pleasure to watch

[@metalmill52]

That is beautiful. Thanks for your work and video!

[@andrewlamarche325]

I love watching you work

[@thetraveler6493]

I’m flashed about your skills. Thanks for sharing.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Excellent job man, great looking toolpost.

[@tonyblackmon4200]

You are a true craftsman sir , thanks for the video
