No Door ?....No Problem ! Take a Look !!

[@hersch_tool]

Incredible. Watching this channel never fails to show me just how much I still DON'T know about machining. Being a hobbyist, this channel is the closest thing I'll probably ever come to the education that would be received through something like an apprenticeship, and I can't even express how valuable it is to have access to that kind of knowledge. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, I truly appreciate it.

[@joepie221]

I'm glad to help. Thanks for the comment.

[@PaulLemelin]

Joe, I subscribe to many channels, including many machinist channels, and yours is one of the channels where I can't wait for new content. Thanks for all the effort in putting out quality videos. As a note, I watched this video on the living room TV and my wife was nearby listening and she loved your energy and humor. Thanks again and happy new year to you.

[@ShadonHKW]

An old timer once told me "Left up to their own devices, a machinist will always make everything too tight" It has stuck with me all these years. Happy New Year Joe!

[@joepie221]

Greetings Stan. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year to you and yours. I hope the finger is back to normal. The desire to make everything perfect is as much of a curse as it is a blessing.

[@ryan_mcme]

All the best in 2024, Joe! Have a Happy New Year! 🎉

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Well my southern friend. 2023 was a good one and I am wanting for 2024 to be an even better time for us all. These number crunching setups are absolutely imperative for accurate parts. Scratch pads, the back of one's hand or the top of a vice are as important as the air we breath. I am loving this modification to the build. It adds some more bling to the overall look. You have given us all a plethora of lessons over this past year. Do's and don'ts with every post. Thanks a bunch old friend. So onward to 24 and lets have a great time with it all eh.

[@robertpearson8798]

“Sometimes it’s not smart to be too precise about something that just doesn’t matter”. I never thought I’d hear you say that Joe. On the other hand, that’s one of things that sets you apart from other makers.

[@robertpearson8798]

You’d have made a very good Pattern maker. The old guy I used to work with said that a good pattern maker makes a lousy furniture maker. If they made a drawer it would be such a close fit that once you closed it you’d never get it to open again.

[@russellmcclenning9607]

Cheers to a great 2024 . Thanks Joe for all you do for all of us a true master of your craft .

[@Radiotexas]

I have been fighting a PM Research engine kit all day.... watching this just shows me what a piker I am compared to you! If I'm lucky I can barely hit a dimension anywhere from ± .003! Joe illustrates what many, many years of manhining experience can produce. Amazing work, pal!

[@timothylangley6945]

I love your changesto fit the door it's going to be a great model at the end.

Happy New Year; your part of what makes it so special!!!!

[@jacqueso8424]

These miniatures require alot of attention and planning, some which im used to already, but im happy to learn from you to make it. Thanx for all the great tips over the past few years, some that ive tried and used is working for sure. Have a blessed and Happy New Yr

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video Mr Joe Pie,,thanks for your time

[@petestephens]

Thanks for all of your hard work producing these great videos Joe. I learn so much from watching them all and hopefully make my machining a little better quality. Wishing you and your family the very best for 2024.

Happy New Year from Canada.

[@takedeadaim8671]

A customer of mine brought me his “gopher gun” which is a single shot 410 that stopped extracting and ejecting. It has a tensioner that pushes against the shell rim opposite the extractor. The spring on the tensioner was collapsed and cracked it was built in the late 20s so I had to wind a spring to fix that. Unfortunately it helped but 50% extraction is not adequate in the war against garden varmints. The extractor was .085 thick and had a notch to hold the spring, a pivot hole and a multi surface tip to grab the case rim. The tip is angled to interfaces a slot in the OD of the chamber that forces the extractor over the shell rim. I’d made less complex parts in my rotary fixture before but the length and thickness of this required me to channel my inner Joe P to get it cut, from 4140 round so it would last, there is a grandson who hopes to have this one day. I used an indicator to center up mainly so I could work from either side and end up with a radius that matched the bolt when through. I roughed the shape, located and drilled the hole then completed the spring notch. I set the fixture to cut the tip to match the angle in the barrel. Went flat again and re located off the notch and cut to finish size. A dozen steps omitted to prevent readers from falling asleep. You will always be my set up hero, I guess some is sinking in. I hope you and yours have a healthy and happy 2024.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Joe says it often to THINK about it, write it down, Think some more before we paint ourselves into a corner. Set up, set up, a successful piece starts there. As machinists we have built/made the world we live in. Not one single piece of anything has not had us involved in. Pretty neat in my books eh.

[@Merchant35013]

Your technique’s and fixtures are 2nd to none, love and learn so much from you👍🏻

[@Preso58]

That looks sensational. I like the filing technique for the rounds. More manageable than filing buttons.

[@billy19461]

I don’t understand half of what you’re doing but I still enjoy watching!

[@mikepetersen2927]

Exquisite work once again! Thanks for bringing us along -- always ready to watch Mr. Pie!

[@wrstew1272]

Thank you for sharing your experience, strength, and joy with us during the journey from castings to working equipment! It’s always enlightening to see another Joe Pie adventure show up that teaches me new skills. Enjoy each and every episode.

As you said, so worth it! Thanks for all your efforts. Happy New Year!

[@jamesreed6121]

I don't know how you have the patience to work with such tiny parts. These mini machine shop projects are to me simply a wonder. I look forward to seeing the finished project. Happy New Year!

[@mattomon1045]

Mr. Pie have a happy 2024

[@CameronMcCreary]

This is very nice work and it makes the project more realistic having a working door. For small radius' Joe I would set the excessive length of my part (similiar to this one) in a 5C square collet on my lathe and a lathe tool put in a fixture and the part tightened in a 5C square collet. Now the part would be turned by hand between two stops so as to create a radius with the center of the holes as the locator for the outside radius'. Stops in the form of pins keeps the hinges from going past the proper radius length while I swing the parts from point to point cutting small amounts of metal off.

[@joepie221]

Provided the center of the round was on center with the collet, that sounds possible.

[@matthewfort3740]

Nice Joe! Great in explaining your thoughts.

[@hrenes]

I like very much that you take the effort to enhance a kit like this with special features. If you wanted to be fast, build a motor kit :) but I like the opening door, the brass hinges and I will appreciate all deviations you make to customize this job. Thanks and a happy new year!

[@MPenzlin]

[@voodoochild1954]

It was great to see you rounding those hinges with the file as I need to do that to a project I’m working on now. I only wish I could achieve the precision you got with your hinges. But thanks to you I will try. Happy New Year Joe!!!

Thank you very much for your generosity sharing your knowledge and enjoyment of the trade. Happy 2024 for you.

[@kennyburgess1756]

Yes Definitely please make a Detailed video of indicating and do you have a fast easy way for Spindle speeds for end mills and lathes

[@anneinfurna8528]

What I was taught about speeds and feeds is: Cut chips and increase speed until you see blue chips, than back off a little. Straw color chips are sufficient, especially for High Speed tools. Carbides can go much faster, but i still like to stay in the range of straw to barely blue with that. Rule of thumb is this: Harder materials you need to slow down thru, and take lighter cuts. Softer material cuts slightly better with a slightly Duller tool, Like Brass, so it does not Get grabby. Especially when you drill it. These have worked great for me. Good Luck! carry on.

[@iancole6565]

Thanks so much Anne.... tips like your's compliment Joe's videos so well. Please continue to input. We learn so much from Joe and comments like yours are just the "cream on the top"

[@jamesboggs5212]

Pretty sure this advice isn't applicable to machining pot metal. Or any non-ferrous for that matter. You'd have to be hogging off some serious cuts with a massive feed rate to put that kind of heat into the chips. Much like cast iron, this kind of material almost "powders" off more than coming off in curls. Granted we are talking milling here and not lathe work. Single point tooling is going to cut differently on a lathe. Machinerys Handbook has speed and feed tables. FWIW. Happy Holidays Joe and everyone else here.

[@iancole6565]

Hi James b, Yes your right. I took for granted that part of Annes comment refererred to ferris material as she talked about non ferris seperately. Ihave a dozen different publications and google printouts with speed/feed charts but i thanked Anne on behalf of all those newbie hobby machinests who are looking for the experinced pro's hints, tips and that "feel" for machining.joe does this so well and Annes comments also. Ive been using a lathe since since 1963 and will experiment with the dull end mill theory on some brass and bronze next week. So all you pro's out there lots of tips and hints the newbies can learn from. Thanks.

[@anneinfurna8528]

​@@iancole6565 In this small forum, it is hard to explain Everything commenting on tips and techniques. If i respond to beginners, i explain a Bit more, to be clear. My comment was about Cutting iron , Steel and other Ferrous material with the color of the chips, Some have had trouble cutting the softer materials like Brass, Pot metal, and any of the monel materials, but a slightly Duller tool cuts them Great. If you have ever had problems drilling Brass -- The problem is that you are cutting with a Too sharp drill. Take a stone and take the edge a bit off, and try that -- Like making a drill into kind of a spade tool, and not so aggressive. Brass will literally 'Suck' a sharp drill into it, and generally it Breaks it. Dulling it makes it be controllable. Here is a good one On a parting tool, grind a radius into the front flat of it, It will part off parts with No Burr -- important if you are cutting off Hundreds of parts.Saves a second operation. Carry on.
