How I make a Hand-piece for the Homemade Hand Engraving Machine part 2 making the Barrel

[@im1forfun]

I'm not an engraver but I am a hobby machinist and watched these two videos back to back and thoroughly enjoyed them, my lathe will be the last thing I part with in this world!

[@bolithoh6873]

you have learnt me much, would never have thought of mounting work piece in tool holder with milling bit in lathe chuck for eg. just shows how you can over think stuff sometimes. love the way you work and I will definitely be having a go at making one of these. Thank you for sharing your knowledge very much appreciated.

The only limit to a lathe is the imagination, have fun!

[@martinholloway7694]

Excellent video!

[@vinnysaxton1716]

Hi there buddy, great video you explain everything with a great level of detail, I am intrested in trying my hand at making a springless style airgraver that will run of a direct air flow...I have seen a few different bluprints for them and have seen a couple videos, Im wondering have you ever tryed to make one? And would there be any chance you would consider doing a video on them?

[@ralex397]

Thanks! The hand-pieces I make and the modified clones are the simplest to build, It takes an experienced machinist to make a Lindsay style graver, my videos are geared for beginners with little or no machine shop skills. I'm getting too old to spend time in the shop now or I would. Glad you enjoyed the videos!

Thank you!

You are ameizing wwoowww

[@MegaRiffraff]

There are drill bits that we call aircraft bits , That don't drift off like normal bits do , but they will break easily

[@jameshohimer2542]

Is there a reason you did not drill the 1/4 " hole all the way thru while you were making the pilot hole for the larger drill?

[@ralex397]

Just in case the drill walked or pulling off center, to keep the holes concentric. Personal preference, the way I do it. You could drill the 1/4" hole all the way through if you know your machine and what works best on it. I have done it both ways.

[@marksimpson5584]

@@ralex397 Rick I've made or at least attempt to make this graver 3 times with out A lathe nor drill press to no avail so I've played the project aside in hopes of finding a bench top lathe. My question to you is may I purchase one you have made? If you have the time my email is [e-mail] Thanks much Mark- Forrest: Simpson

I only sell the hand-pieces, you have to build the compressor box yourself, I have no way to warranty Chinese parts.

[@raymondmirabal5879]

Why not make the shuttle style hand piece aren't they better than the spring style because of air pressure! Instead of suck and blow!

[@ralex397]

I am very happy with this design, I don't engrave enough to justify buying a GRS system, I'm sure they are nice but I can build this system for a little over $100, and it works very well with my HP's and modified clone hand-pieces. Not sure how I would go about making a "shuttle style"

[@thedesertartist]

nice bread slicer.. LOL

[@luisarrieta3898]

Y la pieza que porta el buril? ?

[@ralex397]

¿El portaherramientas de cambio rápido?

[@luisarrieta3898]

Rick Alexander .....

[@luisarrieta3898]

Rick Alexander Si el porta- herramienta se ve ; pero no se si tiene un ring de goma o caucho para el ajuste ??. ..

[@ralex397]

El anillo de goma está ahí para evitar que el portaherramientas de cambio rápido se caiga

[@luisarrieta3898]

Rick Alexander OK. . gracias por la información.

Was very distraught when I watched Shaun Hughes take your handpiece apart and bastardize it in what seemed a very ungracious manner while patting himself on the back with his apparent spring knowledge that was way past left field. He was so busy pounding his own chest that he failed to see just how stupid was some of his theory. I guess he felt threatened.
