I tend to always make tools but sometimes you get an itch that you just have to scratch. And of course what I thought would be a “simple catch up project” ended up being one of the hardest things I’ve made to date. Partially due to the complexity, and mostly due to the lack of planning I put into actually making it. Oh and something about the Young’s modulus.

[@hikikomori_999]

Had an Electrical (lighting) contract work at Lockheed Martin. There was a display shelve/case outside one of there Machinist "rooms", that displayed all sorts of "do nothing" parts (about the size of the piece in this video) that demonstrated & show off their operators' craftsmanship. Some of those piece were absolutely mind boggling from a metal working stand point. Very skilled!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I would love to have seen that collection!

[@Guido_XL]

Yes, that sounds familiar. When I was working at the Philips Research laboratory ("NatLab") in Eindhoven, around 1990, the machine shop craftsmen had a repertoire of artefacts that were given to retirees and other colleagues that were leaving us. They resembled important parts that we had been researching for years and were therefore iconic to us all, but had to practical use whatsoever. The milling craftsmanship that spoke out of those artefacts was amazing.

In a way, the off-center pilot hole was a blessing in disguise. It provided practice and reassurance for the later mistake.

[@ryneches]

My blacksmithing teacher in high school had us make a (simpler) Möbius cube. The operations were all really simple (just lots of bends in square stock and a butt-weld at the end), but everyone scrapped at least five or six attempts from overheating and embrittlement. It was definitely one of those, "How did she make it look so easy?" teaching moments.

​@@eclipticpeak8452 Wanting elective diversity is one thing lmao but complaining about teaching one of the most applicable languages over blacksmithing (get hired in the middle ages) is not the comparison to be making. Secondary languages often are a requirement in many schooling systems and don't even really compete with electives.

[@newp0rt]

@@choymatthew48 dude 90% of people forget their 4 years of spanish after graduation. at least blacksmithing or some other interesting elective stimulates creativeness and concepts that kids otherwise wouldnt experience. they create fond memories and can change the course of their lives. the value of language courses is obviously important but reality just doesnt work that way. many times people completely forget their language courses but many of their elective courses end up teaching stuff that actually sticks.

Indeed, it looks great and works so well. Seeing how useful its proven as well I've been contemplating my own version (though much more modest sized and mounted vertically as it would then be useable on my small lathe - but no rush on that, got so many other problems to solve first and quite likely a slightly larger lathe to add to the collection (mine in a tiny benchtop watchmakers lathe))

I swear every time I see a new video the main thought running through my mind is " no way this is being done by hand". As always BEAUTIFUL work.

[@gordoncouger9648]

This is one that tests your all-around skills as a machinist, and you did good. You might consider adding a few pounds of low melting point alloy metals to stiffen work like this to prevent distortion from clamping pressure. This alloy is also good for making chucks and fixtures for gripping irregular-shaped work and preventing thin-wall tubes from deforming from tool or steady rest pressure. One alloy, Cerrosafe, melts at about 175 degrees F and has very well-defined shrinkage and expansion over time, which lends it to measuring blind holes, gun chambers, threaded holes, etc.

[@the_hate_inside1085]

You should run that thing in one of those tumbler machines, with small steel balls in it. It would round over all edges, and leave a uniform sexy finish on the entire piece..

Maybe at the right speed for a short

[@stankbonkman]

This guy prolly failed geometry. The faces may line up eventually. But theres clearly 4 edges. This isn’t a mobius anything. It’s an art project. It is a long twisty rectangular prism

[@sebastianjezierski8450]

@@stankbonkman "Clearly" one face can't have four edges. I think there's one, but it definitely can't be more than two. Proof: Imagine following that line, but painting the edge to the left of the line red and the edge to the right blue. After you go around four times, all the edges will be painted. In fact, they will be painted twice, since they have the line on both sides. So, you'll end up with either two edges (one painted red twice, the other painted blue twice) or just one (painted once red and once blue). Edit: looking at the video, it looks like every time the line loops around, it's going in the same direction, which suggests that there's only one edge.

I have always found putting the wire between the moving jaw and the unmachined face a bit of a juggling act. Today I learned that you can put an L in it and use it vertically, instead of horizontally.

[@TSorovanMHael]

I've occasionally used a piece of hard wood like oak. In a pinch I sawed up bits of some pallet to act as a soft jaw. it conforms to the part and increases the pressure you can put, also absorbs vibration. Just have to be careful and snug up the vice again after the first pass.

This one was definitely a head scratcher. I challenge you to make one of these out of brass so it fits not inside the steel one, but along side the steel one, if that makes sense. Start combining both of them at a corner, then twist and turn each one so that they are together, one steel band is right next to a brass band. Obviously, you would have to change the design to get them to align to each other, but it would be something if you pulled it off. This one was cool! Took a lot of work and planning ahead.

I would like to say your grandfather should be proud of you if you were my grandson I would be very proud of you I have been a journeyman machinists for 35 years, I was told along time ago by the journeyman that taught me is the difference between a machinist and a good machinist is that the good machinist can hide his mistakes and nobody would ever know especially the boss and the inspection department. I very much like your content, and you share the same sense of humor of almost every great machinist I have ever worked with. I am looking forward to more great videos from you , very best regards, Basbh1

That is very kid of you to say. Thank you so much!

[@andyspillum3588]

Thank You So much for not adding your name to the Long list of creators on YT that make me feel bad about making ugly (but sturdy) welds. I mean, just about everyone who has a welding setup also has an angle grinder or at least files, you don't have to make fun of how my welds look before finishing Don!

[@stevebabiak6997]

He could get away with ugly welds for two reasons: none of them were structural (needed to hold things together), and he was milling over them anyway so the finished product viewers would never see how ugly the welds were originally. Most KZbinrs aren’t in the same situation with their welding.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Oh darn. I can't watch this just now because I know I'll have to make one in wood. I've added you to my Make one later playlist and just left a thumbs up for now. :Looks incredible.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 admittedly you probably wouldn't make it the same way with wood!

[@Alex-kp3hr]

What a labor of love. Nice work. Cheers

[@JohnChuprun]

Nicely done! Learned a couple things, thanks

[@F0X0-93]

Hon wake up, new Inheritance Machining video just dropped!

[@survivaldudes9610]

Woah fancy smancy stuff👍 Always happy to see what you are cooking up!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks!

[@SGee1967]

It’s beautiful piece of art

[@ThuyLe-go2gc]

So much patience, determination and ingenuity, congrats!

[@99seaweed]

So what I am getting is that a sphere is a one-sided cube? jokes aside, I'm loving the multiverse of all of your different projects coming together.

[@bengt-goranpersson5125]

8:27 - "That makes me dumb." ergo, she loves it!

[@sportsman1824]

Great whimsical build!

[@InheritanceMachining]

thanks!

[@RonCovell]

Brandon - what a fantastic project, and my hat is off to you for finishing it to such a high standard!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, Ron!

[@rightleftmiddle1020]

Be interested to see if there is some kind of clay/polymer you could pack into similarly flexible parts and fire/chemically set to provide support. Then maybe chip out/bake off when done? I was thinking of casting sand, but that would definitely wreck your tooling. Either way, interesting project and challenge, and I love to see your weirder ideas

[@robomaster1000]

They used to use babit metal, lead, and fixturing aloy for this. The latter can be melted in boiling water

[@Josh_Wolf]

I believe that knowing the ending of a story can enhance the experience, and people who obsess over spoilers are overly sensitive.

[@bebble985]

I would say ‘to each their own’, but to each their own i guess.

[@SgtSupaman]

I wouldn't say "enhance" because that implies that it is better to just always know the ending. I don't want to know every ending before every story. But, I don't think knowing an ending ruins a story. It simply transforms it into a different experience, which can still be equally enjoyed. But, yeah, people that freak out about spoilers are definitely overreacting.

[@Josh_Wolf]

@@SgtSupaman I would argue that is does enhance the whole as you know there is growth throughout, It also removes the anxiety and trepidation of wondering what if.

[@SgtSupaman]

@@Josh_Wolf, then that is your own personal preference, not an inherent aspect of a story. For not being spoiled, there is a different type of entertainment in the mystery and the existence of multiple possibilities, having, as part of its appeal, the fact that it can only be experienced once, because one cannot erase the knowledge of the ending from their mind. These are two very different ways to experience something, but neither is inherently better. They are both enjoyable. Having a preference for one or the other just means one should take steps to ensure they have the experience they prefer (such as intentionally avoiding places that will have "spoiler" information one doesn't want to know, or, for your case, I suppose, intentionally seeking it out).

[@deathsheir2035]

This was a lot of fun to watch, and thank you for showing that a single line must make 4 laps to return to the starting line.

[@le0_fx]

so cool! this was a joy to watch, as always. thanks!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks!

[@Neuer_Alias_erstellen]

your wife is wrong - the shave look really good

[@DrTheRich]

But but.... it was in the thumbnail... and the title...

[@johncharmelllo7353]

Great video as usual. I grabbed the Mobius Cube. I will probably 3D print it first. I may try to machine it too one day. Love your work!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I think once you print it you wont want to machine it as well 😂 but if you do I want to see! Thanks
