After 50 years and the fact she lets you bring home all those tools I would say she is a keeper. :-)

[@MaturePatriot]

I always feel 17 when I watch, it's like being back in shop class. You ARE the KZbin shop teacher!!

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@andyZ3500s]

Mature Patriot I always like your comments.

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Yes, he is. No matter where you go online, if it's machinist related they know Mr. Pete! Amazing teacher.

[@kevinhewitt1428]

I really wish I had the luxury of attending your classes around 30 years ago. Thank you for continuing to educate in your retirement.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@MrPatdeeee]

Each video gets better. I am so thankful for our "Mr Pete". A true teacher and machinist.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much Pat

[@lathammarx1458]

I like that you showed the option to angle the piece to cut the V groove if you didn't have the special cutter. Appreciate your insight on how to approach a job different ways.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Loving this project! Congrats on 50 years Mr. and Mrs. Pete! That's awesome!

Lovely to see you and Mrs. Pete together. Many congratulations on your anniversary & Bes Wishes from Scotland.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@pekkasaarinen2902]

Once again I come and think that I probably can skip some of this as I can guess the steps. And after 15 minutes I've already watched it all and enjoyed every minute of the video. You're a damn good teacher and know how to captivate the audience Mr. Pete. 😁

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I’m glad I captured you. LOL

[@raymondclark1458]

I’m loving this series! Thank you again.

[@mrpete222]

[@mrc1539]

The wooden rule brought back some painful memories from my school days 😂. To bad that system is no longer used, I think there are some young folks that could benefit from it. Thanks for the video and a peak at the special lady that puts up with you, best to you both !

[@mrpete222]

Yes, a good slap on the hand

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

I made a tiny version of this and I use it on my 3" rotary table. It's great for rounding over small parts.

[@MrAvjones]

I brought up the prints, and that brought back old memories. Which was a couple of days ago.

[@howder1951]

Nice easy project , I must make one, and like John Creasy, a scaled down unit would be very nice as well, Cheers, Mr. P!

[@mrpete222]

Yes thanks

as always enjoyed.great project

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@infoanorexic]

I keep finding myself thinking on what I have on hand that could be used to make one ... I guess that means I'll eventually be doing just that. No operating mill (the one I do have is a little'un anyway) so that means sorting out a way of mounting my 'nearly way too large' vise to the shaper table. The fun of shop building ... wanting to make something and discovering just how ill equipped you really are.

[@wb6uce]

Thank you for the tips and this and your other ‘films’ (I guess i'm dateing myself with ‘films’- 76 years) I still have a small ball peen hammer I made in metal shop class, lo these many years. Never did get the nurling right. I remember making a center punch. After heat treating the teached would drop it point down on the floor. If the heat treating was correct no damage occoured.

[@mrpete222]

I am 76 also. And still think of them as films

[@junkmannoparts9696]

Hi Mr Pete i got a cheep hss 1/2 10 tap for $15 bucks and it worked great. JM

[@toolbox-gua]

I love how this is going.

[@JamesDedmon]

Looking good Mr Pete

[@JabSafari]

Enjoying this series, just wish the individual videos were about twice as long and you did it in five parts instead of 10. 15 min isn’t long enough for a shop vid. Guess I can just wait till the entire series is released and binge watch. Great content though!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, most people say my videos are way too long

[@asharahmadarrauf]

really great project for us learners. Can we grind a regular drill bit into such V cutter.

[@mechaform]

You could always turn a collar and locktite it onto the threaded rod to make a better shoulder.

[@mrpete222]

Yes thanks

[@jdshenanigans9265]

Wooden rullers always anoy me as use to have them rapped over my nuckles at school .nice build

[@mrpete222]

This one came from our school, LOL

[@mikenixon9164]

Good video. I completed mine after part 3. Old and impatient Mary says. LOL

[@mrpete222]

Wow, you are fast. You don’t need me at all, LOL

[@mikenixon9164]

Mary took a video. I will have her send it to you. I need your ideas Lyle.

[@johntaylor1310]

Very informative

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@seekingtko3146]

good work

[@pyromedichd1]

It would not be difficult to make a steel collar that would be pinned (or affixed with Loctite) to the threaded rod to make that larger shoulder which is included on the original Acme threaded rod.

[@florianf4257]

Or fix a nut with Loctite (and maybe turn it down a bit afterwards)

[@AtticusDraco]

This was my immediate thought as well, Driver 1967. Though I might have done the Florian F16 nut idea

[@amundsen575]

I am building one of these . I just ordered an acme tap1/2-10 off ebay $15.00 import , seems decent quality. using a letter Y drill(.404) will post a photo when done

[@mrpete222]

Yes thanks

[@azenginerd9498]

You had mentioned in an earlier video and I was hoping you would add the second perpendicular V-groove to the fixed jaw.

[@mrpete222]

At that point, I lost interest. And took a nap

[@philbressi7223]

Great job as normal, one question, I have seen you us your delta belt sander before, what grit paper do you use. Thanks again.

[@mrpete222]

I generally use 80 or 100 grit. I never change the belts until they break

[@scarface-39]

Great video👍

[@fx1c333]

The shoulder if required how about a nut locked into place then turned down in the lathe or a small bearing?. You thoughts.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks for sharing sir..

[@bluedeath996]

I find the work "flange" to be a funny-sounding word. Also throng, moist, twinge and a few others that are less mechanical.

[@athrunzala5337]

hello master Pete, could you please machine a housing for a tapered roller bearing ? thank you

[@paultavres9830]

Question Sometime we use tools for other than their intended purpose We all might possibly do it But does it make it right Well everybody does it What is Sterrett tool company opinion about dragging the tip of their calipers In a manner of a scribe Just wondering

[@mrpete222]

Most tools are consumable or perishable just like their owners

[@milantrcka121]

Starrett

[@RichieCat4223]

What's the difference between a rule and scale ?

[@mrpete222]

None in my opinion

Hi, Mr Pete I have a very interesting "What is it" for you. It's different....not old, not even a photo....just the instructions for a presently arrived piece of machine shop equipment. It's in Ennglish....sort of! But I bet your followers will have a great time trying to figure out what it is. To what email address can I send the attachment 'instructions'.

[@mrpete222]

You will find my email address in the following video, search for it. Tubalcain Labor day special shop video courses

[@michaelcerkez3895]

Speaking for the group, please tell your "Girl Friend of sixty years" we all said thank you very much for the loan of Tubalcain!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I will. LOL

[@kevinheinrich9589]

Best practice would be to use your edge finder to pick up the fixed jaw of your vise, NOT your moveable jaw. Also, scribing lines on parts with calipers is all fine and well with your JUNK calipers, not your best calipers, for what it's worth. Just my 2 cents worth. Neat project however.

[@kevinheinrich9589]

@John Chrysostom Then he's been teaching people poor practice for quite some time. Glorify him all you want.

Hardly would call Shars calipers ' best ' !

[@russelallen5342]

I've been doing it with my Mitutoya calipers for 55 years and it hasn't damaged them yet.

[@samueltaylor4989]

When he said “instead of milling them to length” I said out loud “please don’t tell me he’s going to just belt sand them”! And guess what!

[@4GSR]

Okay Mr. Pete, you're picking up our bad habits, using the tips of your calipers to scribe lines. Don't you think you should show your viewers the proper tool for inscribing the lines? Using hermaphrodite calipers. (Had to look up the spelling in my Starrett Tool Catalog)

[@andyZ3500s]

Were does the word hermaphrodite come from? I always thought that it was a strange word.

[@pyromedichd1]

Bad habits? Some calipers are actually equipped with carbide tips to be used for that purpose.

[@andyZ3500s]

@John Chrysostom I have a machinist buddy from Greese. I'm going to ask him about it. Thanks

Why is he using a big old wooden ruler? Because it is a made in America by Stanley.

You are the first one to actually get it.

[@brianmoore1164]

Great project Mr. Pete! I loved the drill mill use. I don't see them used often, but find mine very handy. If you want to try out some U.S. made carbide cutters that don't cost an arm and a leg I recommend Onlinecarbide.com. I am not connected to them in any way except that I am a satisfied customer that finds their cutters the equal of any of the name brands for way less money.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks
