Making tracery using the turning lathe! guilloché

[@totallynotabot151]

I'm going to make that for my wife. I bet she'll be thrilled to find an M2.5 thread cutter inside the jewelry box!

[@richnfamous59]

she'll... die? I'll get my coat :)

[@egSef]

Hahaha nice!

[@oskarlibelle1769]

Don't screw this up, mate

[@username4441]

she better be.

[@dedmanzombie]

I'm just a machine operator and I love watching the machine make cuts and watching this guy amazes me

[@The_Joker_]

What kinda machine?

[@farbe123]

Quick tip for improving your work: If you use a lathe tool with a lager nose radius, you will get way nicer finishes without sanding. Your very pointy HSS turning tool needs very slow feedrates to reach a low surface roughness. If you have a grinder, just grind the point to a nice large radius, maybe 1,5mm or even more, this will dramaticly improve your surface finishes on facing and turning operations. Hone your tool to a very sharp edge afterwards, this gives almost mirror like finishes without the need for sanding.

[@SimpleUser11]

Wow! Thank You!

[@andremetayer1467]

It' the second time in a few days, I eard someone telling that sanding is « breaking » the surface of a piece of wood. When I work a piece of wood, I personnaly as often it's possible, I use a scraper ( in french : racloir, I'm not sure of the translation.) It's a fact that the pores of the wood are shutted, the fibres are smoothed. Sometime, to be honnest , and to be fast, I use sanding method myself. That said, the box is a very beautiful thing, made with passionh, for an other kind of passion between two personns.

[@joepie221]

Nice effect. Can I ask a possibly dumb question....Why not just make a tool that does 5 lines at a time and save yourself a ton of passes and adjustments?

[@MildFracas]

I think that would put too much pressure on the cutter and either prevent it from cutting due to high resistance or break the tips off.

[@arloames4517]

Joe, your suggestion could work for this case, but not the general case. Many patterns involve non-parallel lines, and the general approach requires many passes. The typical tooling for guilloche or ornamental turning is designed for the general case. The process was invented in the 1800s when labor was cheap and machines were expensive.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

You also run into the issue that you need multiple spacings of lines for different patterns

[@drhender6943]

It's also a LOT more difficult to make a tool with five separate cutting surfaces that are evenly spaces, of equal width and equal height.

[@jpsimon206]

This is a way more valid question than anybody is answering. Everyone is imagining a lathe tool and are overwhelmed by the idea of grinding it just so. The obvious fix would be a radial cutter. You remember those old fashioned taps that had individual teeth? Long before spiral taps, they were super easy to sharpen because the teeth were not in a line like a comb. I imagine a similar geometry cutter simply rotating at a slower speed would both speed up the operation while still allowing patterns that require skips. It's not even very complicated math to figure out the geometry required for such a cutter.

[@nutwiss]

I suspect your other half will really appreciate that M2.5 die you're lovingly created a box for! Do they have a matching tap??

[@foolishwatcher]

You bet! He will show us next week, how he made the box for the tap. :-D

[@tracybowling97]

I was going to ask the same thing! I'd be delighted to receive that in a fancy box!

[@RANDOMNATION907]

@nutwiss .... I see what you did there.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

And here I was excited for a new series where he makes custom holders from 2.5 to 30 mm dies. (Called "The Prettiest Shop In Town")

[@ellieprice363]

That M 2.5 die must be 24 Carat gold to deserve such a box.

[@TheRealStructurer]

Fantastic! Sharp mind and sharp tools fueled by a good imagination!

[@davidjames1007]

Great job, love the different wood.

[@MayorOfLuckyBoyNV]

That little press may have been used for stamping shapes out of a metal sheet? Thats probably what the chute underneath is for. Let the cut part fall through and then you could just slide more of the metal sheet into position for another cut

[@paroutdiok_awesome]

Your channel is a gem, so glad youtube recommended it

[@campbellmorrison8540]

Very enjoyable watch thank you. I hadn't read the text before watching and wondered what was so special about that 2.5mm die. :)

[@baddonkey6876]

It's crazy that clickspring just uploaded a vid of him using a rose machine to build a silver tracery necklace for his wife, i was thinking, "man I'd love to see more vids like that...."

[@charlesseymour1482]

this is a watch press for removing crystal faces from bezels. sometimes watch backs use the same press with a different tool end.

[@mrsir9616]

With your awesome skills with the lathe, and other tools, I'm sure you could make your own coins.( or similar) And I like the music, as it is relaxing, as I am watching you create another masterpiece.

[@ВениаминВласик]

This is a video without a voice, but there are subtitles. Enjoy watching!

[@AlexBobowski]

I really enjoy reading your subtitles for the project on videos that have them. Having the notification in the video itself when there are subtitles is very useful as it reminds me to turn them on. I usually only look at the comments after I'm done with a video. Great video and a cool technique!

[@xt9854]

You don't need voice subs or music

[@tiesbeer]

I think I enjoy the episodes without the voice more, it's very relaxing to watch!

[@AdamSteidl]

I did not realize there were subtitles so I just enjoyed the music. Thank you for sharing.

[@Xraller]

Need to make one of these for a 10mm socket as well.

[@tukid666]

The little press could be a Buttonpress for fabric covered Buttons used in upholstery, we have a similar old one with interchabgeable anvils and Inserts for differnt Buttons and eyelets. Rarely used these days.

[@gjhuizenga]

My thoughts exactly. I made many buttons in my dad's workshop when I was a kid on a machine that looks exactly like this one.

[@deeranfoxworthy6069]

I'm not an expert, but that press may be for setting watch crystals and it may just be missing the "anvil" at the base where you'd put the bezel around to lift it up around the crystal. Gorgeous work!

[@britzwickit]

My first thought aswell.

[@Moraren]

I like the spring on the cross slide to keep out the backlash. Never seen that before on a lathe. Is that something you added yourself?

[@chainzchainz7757]

[@theobolt250]

Very satisfying to watch. The intricacies of the special lathing proces... hmmm... nice. It's somehow like My mechanics and yet different. Thanks for the cool job. Would be nice though if you could make a visual representation of the process behind the tracing, for instance the making of the templates. But hey, maybe another time? Who knows.

[@0ii076]

I admire your skills👏🏾

[@tweakerkid]

Beautiful work

[@zolatanaffa87]

Hello, as usual you make small jewels, even if they are boxes for real jewels. the application you built to work the face of the brass rod is very interesting. I think the gray machine you found is a punch to punch thin metal plates, or insert metal studs in leather or fabric, I think I saw one in a haberdashery shop but maybe it was even bigger; or a watchmaker's glass remover, it would explain the slide below, done with great care to prevent the detached piece from being damaged and returning comfortably in the hands of those who operate the machine. Given the excursion of the punch with so little stroke of the lever I would say that it is not made for jobs that require a lot of pressure, so both uses are possible.

[@RCPMK]

Love the cut off jig for the bandsaw

[@Raeilgunne]

Replicating rose engine and line engine work with a modern lathe is an interesting concept. I'll have to remember when I start my shop.

[@JanBinnendijk]

That device, is a small press, the slot in the bottom allows either waste material, or the product (depending on the way you punch) to leave the press.. I like it.. i wish i had something like that.. Also, Great job on the Guilloché pattern.. next step, include a steppermotor on the Vertical slide.. to be able to make wavy patterns in all directions..

[@allenmaudiln]

Beautiful. Inspirational even

[@boolaudio]

The very cool old tool looks like a miniature Fly Press.

How long does it take to do all the etching? Also just a suggestion, have you tried rotating the circle 90 degrees for each row so the etches go across and up n down, I think it will look alot like the chequer plate style metal sheet floor you see in workshops

[@Cellottia]

I was expecting that, was quite surprised when it didn't happen. It would give a woven effect and catch the light more.

[@brandontroup5840]

I believe that is an old watch press for pressing the backs onto a watch after it has been repaired. I remember one of them from when I was a kid. isnt there any manufacturers mark on it?

[@dr_ned_flanders]

or pushing the glass into the watch casing.

[@Crushonius]

that little press is just a giant hole punch but for metal however you are missing the punch dies

[@Cestino97]

The tool you don't know what it is for, is it possible it was used for watch making? Like mounting and removing the glass? I've recently seen a video in the Cà Lem channel and he created a watch and mounted the glass with some sort of special manual press

[@zolatanaffa87]

hi, your words confirm my memories: "centuries" ago I saw one, but I did not remember if in a haberdashery (for various studs on leather and fabrics, even if it seemed more rough and bigger) or in a watchmaker's shop. . which closed in '75 !!!

[@socrazybmx]

And that tool looks like a jewelers arbor... ex: pressing watch parts together

[@janosnagyj.9540]

That would not explain the eject opening on the bottom. I think this is a punch press, or how is it called...

[@socrazybmx]

@@janosnagyj.9540 Possibly, but a try punch would possibly need more pressure than a user would be able to assert with a screw lever. I suppose we just won't know fore sure.

[@mudnducs]

I’d like to see what moves the cutter into/out of the work.

A stepper motor controlled by arduino. Have you seen his video of his rice engraving machine? He engraved a thumbs up on a kernel of rice.

You can apply wax/polish to the wood while it’s still on the lathe.

ebony and wenge

I would say the striped one is Panga Panga, which is usually a little lighter in colour then Wenge. For the darker one I would go with African Black Wood, because the grain to me looks more like a rosewood then ebony.
