Forget about the Trolls, they are not your friends and have nothing to offer! You have inspired so many of us out here! I personally have learned so much from your teachings, that I went out and bought an old Logan 10" and a Chinaman Mill/Drill (don't have the space and money for a Bridgeport, but I wish I had) and am able now to turn and mill some decent pieces thanks to you. You can't learn everything out of books. Seeing how to do it on your videos is the key!!! We all enjoy them!

Thank You for another great presentation. I have the tools that I "inherited" when I bought this rural property here in country New South Wales in Australia. I do want to make model steam engines, which is why I asked the owner to leave me all the machines, - at a reasonable price. You are teaching me how to use the various machines and, just as important, all the various measuring tools,-micrometers, etc. SoI wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the way you take the time to explain everything clearly and at a pace that people like me can learn. The man I bought the property off was an engineer, just like yourself, and he used to say, that when he started out in his trade, if you wanted a special tool you had to make it, as there was no store bought tools in those days.( he was in his mid-70s when he sold up and moved back to the city area). as he became too ill, and failing eyesight, caused him to sell this rural property. He could make anything in his machine shop, but he was not a good teacher,-or I was not a good pupil, more like. I think it is a special gift that enables someone to teach as well as being able to do something. People for miles around used to bring things to him to be repaired, - especially their guns for new firing pins or to repair the sears,(I don't know if I have got that right) but, he used to talk about people not respecting a precision piece of engineering. Anyway, until now, I did not have the confidence to use the lathe or milling machine. So a big Thank You from me for all your work you do in putting together all these videos. Best wishes from, Peter Cunningham. Australia.

I am not a machinist and probably never will be. I am not qualified to critique this mans work but what I can say is I have just finishing video #160. I am using this as a method of learning how to use some tools I have recently purchased. What I am qualified to say about Tubalcain is this. A man that would spend this much time sharing his life time of knowledge with all of us is bound to be a special kind of person. Now he might be picking up a dollar some where in this but look at all the free wisdom he is raining down on us. His tools are the things he has accumulated down through the years but think of the lighting and camera equipment he has bought, they are dedicated to the production of his videos. Price some of this quality equipment. It is not cheap. I have an appreciation of skilled people. I have spent a life time of dealing with 20 year old that are not qualified to use a lawns mower, 30 year old collage grads that cant fill out a job app and sign there names due to a double standard where everyone has to pass and graduate just so they can feel good. I consider myself to be a knowledge sponge. I soak up everything. No information is too trivial. The only problem I have with Tubalcain is he lives too far away. I think he would make a great neighbor and friend. I hope to have the honor of meeting him some day. I am pretty sure we would have many deep conversations. NOW FOR ALL THE HATERS. Relax, take a deep breath and have happy thoughts. Don't be jealous of others. You are what you are and with time and practices you will get your GED and maybe someday you will own that lawn company, or at least have your own mower. One thing for sure, if smoking pot and spreading hate and discontent are your only goals that is about all you will ever have in life. Go ahead and hide behind that keyboard. You are not qualified to shine a light for Tubalcain to walk by.

Hi Mr Pete, with the packing method, you could skip the formula by putting the stock into the 3-jaw-chuck with an indicator between two of the jaws. Holding the work against those two jaws, open the chuck until the indicator shows the offset you want. Then measure the gap to the third jaw and find a packing of (or close to) that thickness.

Outstanding, thanks for this tutorial sir! I've used the "packing" method a few times over the years, without thinking it through. At one point, I used feeler gauges to guess the 'rule.' Your vid finally egged me into some proper algebra. The formula is in fact 3/2 (1.5) plus a correction that depends on the ratio of the eccentricity to the work diameter. The error of taking a straight factor of 1.5 is small, so long as the eccentricity is much smaller than the workpiece. The largest eccentricity machinable this way is about 0.58x the work radius (beyond this, the work will drop through the two "unpacked" jaws). At this extreme, the "x1.5" approximation is only off by about 18%. Thanks again for all the learning! Mike

Hi mrpete, Green background is looking good! Good inspiration. This brings me one little suggestion to maximize use of your jig, you make a longitudinal slit that you can tight with a screw, install a backing stopper in the 3/4" diameter. Then put the pre-cutted (Already bored and faced on one side) 3/4" slugs in the jig, tighten it with the side screw, install a preset stopper on the ways with a 1/16 shim, face, remove the shim and cut the eccentric with a parting knife, that should give you the precision required for the purpose. Just a elaboration starting with your idea. You're an inspiring person thanks for your teaching, Pierre

People are getting awfully quick to label someone a troll. Not all critics are trolls. Some folks just want to tear folks down. Others want to help folks improve.

Constructive criticism is OK, but worrying about parallax error when measuring an eccentric for a model steam engine is rather pedantic. It's not making 10,000 hp, and it's not putting a man in space. +/- .005 should be more than accurate enough.

I have not yet turned an eccentric so thank you for the ideas. I was wondering if one might turn the smaller part as a separate piece and attach it to the larger diameter with bolts or silver solder. Would this work on a small model? Also I had noticed the green background and wondered about it as most vids just have a metal or wood table. The color certainly contrasts with the parts. Interesting. Thank you very much.
