Was the hex for quality of look ? Cos why didn’t u just drill two holes in the heads at 90 degree from each other too save time ? Don’t get me wrong mate u done a cracking job of them bolts of that there is no doubt ✌️🇬🇧

wouldnt welding a head onto one inch bar be faster than turning down larger stock ?

Really like the flange head on the bolts you made. You need to stamp all the custom things you make Kurtis. 100 yrs from now someone will be saying this is an authentic CEE made piece.

[@davidlasoff8261]

And why that's so right is that Kurtis puts exactly the same master craftsmanship into shop projects as he does for his customers. What a guy and what a pure pleasure it is to watch him work. So, thanks Karen too for the cool vids!

[@joeybleu66]

that is a very good idea. Kurtis buys often machines and doesn't know their provenance. yet he makes it easier for the next guy when he does the next repair.

I have always admired what machinists are able to do. When I had my own business, a few decades ago, when a piece of my machinery broke the nearby machine shop was able to make a new part faster and better quality than if I ordered it through usual channels.

I enjoy watching your video's it brings back many memories for me. I am retired now, but I was an engineer, I served a technician apprenticeship, so many of the things you do are things we learned about particularly in the first year when I was 16/17 years old, I spent the whole first year in an excellent training workshop and the following year as a tool setter in the factory and a few months in the tooling investigation department that looked into problems with tooling in the factory and sought solutions, that was the limit of my hands on training. The rest of my apprenticeship was office based in various different, departments, I like most of the technician apprentices finished my time in a drawing office, in my case it was a jig and tool design office which I worked in for a couple of years before moving on. Later I did a number of different engineering roles and completed a degree. But the times I remember with the greatest fondness were the early years of the apprenticeship, a time of wonderment and discovery. We learned all the things you did in this video, but our machines were not so large as yours. I think our largest lathe had about 10 bananas between centres. of course in such a short time the skill level we achieved would not have been up to your standards. The bolts you made look great, I am sure they will do the job.

[@loftsatsympaticodotc]

Wow, first time I ever heard of lathe center distance described in the banana units of measurement. lol

[@thepagan5432]

Great way for making custom bolts. We had a Ministry of Defence contract and we were manufacturing and assembling verything except for the ordnance. We had to make special bolts and for that purpose the company bought a profilator which would machine a hexagon complete from round bar. The process was hypnotic and I would often stand there watching this fantastic machine for that time, making hexagons from round. These days it is easily achieved, but back then it was fascinating and so fast. Looking forward to part 3, thanks for posting, be well, be safe.

Nice touch hitting them on the belt sander. That's care in your workmanship. A lot of guys would skip the finishing, especially for an in house shop job.

You've hit the combination perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

[@toblexson5020]

You forgot possibly the two most important reason to have the hex heads flanged. (1) it looks prettier than a plain hex. (2) it gives you a good reason to have used that large round stock. You can't do that with hex stock! Everyone knows that style and excuses come before function haha.

so satisfying to watch an KZbinr actually use the "metric" method of cutting threads. you just need a good brake on the machine and watch your cutting depth, and it simply cannot go wrong. where as the "imperial" got so many opportunities to go wrong, even tho it "might" be faster
