I love it when my long spinny chips find their way straight to the scrap bin by themselves.

[@FMMlll]

Man, you are an amazing proof that a person has the ability to do anything if they truly wanted it bad enough to put in the effort and persistence to learn it. But you’ve shown an even farther step in that you’re now skilled enough to improve existing designs. I believe you are a mechanical engineer at heart but in your soul, you are an artistical technician! More videos please

[@jeffanderson1653]

Well said. This young man is an inspiration to me and I’m sure all who watch his videos. He is a genius in my mind. Creative genius.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Cà Lem, absolutely beautiful job as always, great to see your making a few dollars to, the tool post grinder setup worked well and the new collet is a work of art, take care mate, Cheers

Thanks Matty 😉

[@j.r.millstone]

However much you charged for this, it wasn't enough. You do amazing work, dude.

[@TheMadMagician87]

Absolutely. That said, it's very satisfying to see someone actually doing a good job, just because these things should actually be done well. The alternative is that the machine goes in the rubbish, thus wasting it's materials and a new one gets bought unnecessarily....Humanity literally can't keep living as though everything is disposable just because some business graduate thinks that makes for a better bottom line. I live in hope that humanity comes back around to the idea of restoring and preserving what already exists as long as it can be made to function sufficiently well.

[@TrustNotta]

@@TheMadMagician87 Agreed. A lot of the older machine are far superior in quality also. Nothing is as well built and sturdy as old iron.

[@davesmith9325]

Your videos and craftsmanship are always superb. Thankyou for sharing with us.

[@danl.4743]

Very enjoyable to watch such a beautiful job. Congrats on the first paying job. You deserve it.

[@Legendinium]

The flight of the chuck was scary as hell! Love the editing and evolving format as always. :)

[@Micscience]

I agree I was like wtf. His ways definitely got dinged hopefully lesson learned.

[@Mark_How]

Putting those machines to good use. I'm impressed by how much tooling you've built up. Here in South Africa you have to really know where to look to find well priced machine tools that aren't either over priced or beat to death.

[@captcarlos]

Outstanding work Sir. I imagine a world where the makers and repairers are more valued than the money lenders and the scribblers... Then We would be Kings. Dreaming.

Lets make a revolution. I got a slingshot, 2 wooden swords and bows.

[@captcarlos]

Hahaaa, I could give you some ball bearings for your sling shot and paint your swords silver..

[@richardcurtis556]

You deserve to be compensated for your skills and investment of time and money in your machines. Super work on that collet!

[@kenknight4560]

Your client has well spent his money for this repair, first class job. Well done as always!

[@normsweet1710]

Nice tool work, such accuracy, well done. Now the man can use his machine again

[@abadansanat9691]

You don't have to be worried about something is damaged and work at it, because you're professional at all and I really love your work Be blessed

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Beautiful. Hope you got paid well for your precision and careful work.

[@jobkneppers]

Cà Lem; I like your style! Thank you! Best, Job

[@bradthayer6782]

You say this is your first paying job, youve been a self taught amature all along? I’m absolutely amazed at your skill. You could do this full time for good money.

[@richball9576]

You are a very talented young man! I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor 😜

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Fantastic work Ca Lem, excellent result.

[@robertoswalt319]

You are an amazing machinist and your sense of humor is incredible as well.

[@tomim7187]

Keep up your narration! It adds a lot. Practice makes perfect! Great build!! 👍👍

[@darrensworkshop6783]

Nice work as ever and I agree TOT has a big influence on your video's - which we all love. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@maycongcuhaibinhchanh.6931]

Mỗi video e đưa lên thật đáng để xem. A bên mua bán máy công cụ nhưng lại thích xem e chế tạo những thứ rất độc đáo.

Thanks anh nhé

[@maycongcuhaibinhchanh.6931]

@ khi nào có dịp ghé Cơ khí phú Gia hú a uống cafe nhé.

[@Michmanjuga]

I got it. You adopted TOT as a dad. And now he's helping you out with your videos but not releasing a single video himself.

Im telling you. He's my neighbor, been helping me from the begining.

[@rameezsheikh7576]

@ LOL 😂

[@jmtx.]

Sort of explains why TOT's been quiet.

[@StormbringerMM]

I support this hypothesis

[@lateatday9826]

@@jmtx. what ive been thinking

[@Preso58]

Picked up a lot of good tips right there, particularly the use of O rings for compressing the collet onto the shaft. Oh, and I desperately need that cheat code for parting off. Regards, Preso

Thank you 😅

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

Wow, that's a lot of work and you did an amazing job buddy.

[@randyhager2054]

Ya know your a MASTER when people bring you stuff and want it fixed and PAY YOU for it!!!!! Young man this may lead to long hours and a shop full of OTHER PEOPLES STUFF and you can't take a day off because you have SO MUCH WORK! Welcome to the Small Business World!!!

[@zukowski2023]

Cà Lem, It's always a pleasure to watch you work. It's just amazing what projects you take on with no indicated fear or concern about getting it right (which you always manage to do with ease). You get a chance your going to need to teach TOT how to surface grind cylinders, he does a nice job on flats, but round stuff he's never taken on.. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship with us once again Sir. Stay Safe & Cheers from Canada.

Thank you sir!

[@malcolm2501]

10:53 Man what a jump scare! I’m learning so much from you. Awesome and funny video as always.

[@rallymax2]

The collet is almost as handsome as you. Beautiful precision work Lim.

[@kh8553]

Always a education to watch you work.

[@brockstravels7586]

Excellent work, why repair when you can make it better than new..

[@splinky99]

One time a few years ago I bored out some 8620 steel tubing…..it resulted in spiral chips , nice and straight, about a meter long, poking out the rear of the headstock! Coolest chip I ever made.

[@DDB168]

I too, always select the coolest looking tool 😉😉 Wow that crash - I was fooled. I think. I dunno, I'm confused 🤣🤣 Excellent work as always.

[@ifyoucantjointhem]

I really enjoy the humour in your videos. I don't enjoy watching you using gloves at the wire wheel though 😬 Glad to see you're charging out your time. Keep up the great work 🤙

[@dial4711]

Your works as published on KZbin are, considered your technical possibilities, the best I have seen so far! Excellent craftsmanship. Please continue, good luck & all the best for your future. Klaus from Germany

[@durkee8713]

So awesome! I get pumped off all your videos but this one had such a great mix of machining and humor it’s got to be your best one yet. Keep up the awesome content we all appreciate it!

[@nectouxpierre4634]

Great work homie! 💪you managed to hold very tight tolerance. The tool post grinder is a nice tool to have in your toolbox.

Thanks man 🤓

[@Gkuljian]

Thank you for doing narration. It's a great addition.

[@renehuizinga3630]

Amazing craftmanship, i hope they paid you decent !!!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

What a super nice job. The collet was great, quite the challenge. Love it.

[@marcoschwanenberger3127]

The work flying out of the chuck when parting off is nightmare fuel!! Glad you weren't hurt. Awesome job on the spindle!

[@Coolbreeze6132]

Fantastic craftsmanship mate 👍

[@claeswikberg8958]

Idsay that the chipbreaker on you tool isnt working, but your chips are very well behaved indeed! love the vid. excellent work ,

[@hedning003]

Holy shit! that 3-jaw getting loose! scared the shit out of me! Exelent work

[@westweld]

Really nice work ice cream man.......I wish you were my neighbor.

We're. 10.000 miles neighbor

[@clausfrennessen2362]

Nice!! You are back. Love your work and your show. Fan Sweden 🇸🇪.

[@theromihs]

Ouch!!! I'm glad that that kind of stuff doesn't only happen to me when trying to part something off! Although I must admit that your crash was spectacular! Hope you did not get hurt what that chuck came off.

[@douglasharley2440]

your videos are magical scientifical works of art.

[@StormbringerMM]

Awesome! I think the big cheat code was the neat trick with the nuts and the locking pliers

[@AaronEngineering]

G’day CaLem. An amazing repair and beautiful work mate. Respect bro. Cheers 🍻. Aaron

Thanks Aaron 😘

[@JT-tz5hp]

Amazing work! I enjoy the talking and explanations of the work.

[@sidetrackmetalworks2058]

Well done training the chip snake!

[@motionsick]

Lmfao with that chuck I have to rewatch over and over.

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing

[@nicktohzyu]

Great narration! Hope to hear more haha. Your english is very clear!

[@ChristophLehner]

great video as always :) short question: what camera/lens are you using?

[@NitroTom91]

That San Andreas Mission sound got me more than I want to admit :D

[@USM247]

So glad you now have paying customers. Super great work once again. Many thanks for another great vid.

[@dixonqwerty]

Absolute perfection as always. Your work and your videos are the best!! I am amazed by your skills.

[@khanabdulrehman3913]

You are a great boy . I always prey for your success

[@craigtate5930]

Don't think I ever heard you speak before. Gotta say your English is very good. Keep it up

[@hobist]

I have one lathe and one milling machine for restoration. I can provide an apartment and food, I don't have any more money 😢😢. And yes, I'm from Serbia.😁😁 I enjoy watching your restorations👌👌👌👌

[@jimsvideos7201]

Your work speaks for itself, but it's good to hear from you too.

[@carlthor91]

Great work, good humor. Morning smile.😊 Take care

[@TheEvertw]

This was a great build, AND great fun to watch! Thank you.

[@franksprecisionguesswork501]

Great skills plus a sense of humor!

[@jpsimon206]

CaLem, I was not joking with you. You really can use the microwave to heat bearings as long as you wrap them in a wet paper towel. If you don't believe me, try it with just a scrap of metal. The wet paper towel is what makes it work. The water molecules except the energy more easily than steel. There are no sparks, no fire, no damage to microwave. Seriously, give it a try. It's very convenient, you will like it

Yeah i do understand how microwave works. Hairdryer worked well too. I just didnt want any water on those bearings, definitely will try on others application.

[@sweetpeaz61]

Outstanding work Ca lem

[@willi-fg2dh]

i hope no lathes were injured in this production. great work (but we've come to expect that) [ . . . and, money is good! ]

[@anmafab]

Love the video format where you describe a bit more of what you're doing. Awesome work as always and really interesting

[@alexiselsass1143]

Maaan that was scary at 10:52, but great job, love your work and videos 👍

[@VinokDesign]

Fantastic joke with the snake, laughed so hard

[@Palinho8]

The scene with that spiral chip just killed me :D i like that kind of humour. As always great to watch :)

[@bobbalbirnie2478]

Awesome job on it Cà Lem, your attention to fine detail and accuracy is a joy to witness. You are a master of the art, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos so that we all see how things should be done. Much respect, Bob

Thank you Sir.

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 better than new now! Why do you have to anneal the parts before hardening?

[@TheMadMagician87]

"looks cool, but useless" >>> "Try this other one, no other option" 😂

[@jmtx.]

Awesome precision! Great camera work to get us in on the details.

[@x_ph1l]

Cool job. Also thanks a lot for job description at the beginning!

[@TomMakeHere]

Seriously great work on all of this mate Well done

[@alfredneumann4692]

You are one of the best mechanics, i have ever seen.

[@David-qd3ff]

My friend your English is extremely good. Glad to see another excellent video. Keep safe.

[@d00dEEE]

I cannot believe that you know ALL of the cheat codes! Amazing!

[@caseysmith1718]

Looks like it's time for a new lathe chuck backplate for that 3 jaw chuck!

[@joshwalker5605]

i cant believe this is your first paying job as a machinist. That is insane to me.

[@maximiliankrug1011]

Really nice Work!! you will overcome Dan Gelbart in a few years 💪.

[@mchiodox69]

Great work as always, but would love to know where you get those cheat codes. I could use a few million of them.

Im sorry, its secret 😌

[@EnlightenedSavage]

Rob Renz has an excellent video on building spindles and Keith Fenner has alot of videos on heat straightening shafts.

[@monkeyflyer410]

Why don't you try some of the aluminium specific inserts with positive rake and sharp edges? They're quite delicate but good even on chrome steels at the surface speeds your lathe is capable of. I use them a lot for finishing, and if that's not good enough I do the last cuts with HSS to get a really nice finish.

[@officialiCracker]

Wow! Next level video editing! Love it

[@waltermelyon4300]

Great sense of humor. I'd ask for your cheat codes but I'm really a glutton for punishment.

[@jamesm3268]

Awesome work I hope you charged alot of money!

[@motorcarBose]

Крутой результат, исполнение на высшем уровне. Столкнулся с проблемой, купил шпиндель под цангу и не нашёл специалиста который бы изготовил цанги….

[@hwood7884]

Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate your work and your videos.

[@Andrew_Fernie]

A lot of work. Very nice 👍

[@brownh2orat211]

Love the videos, entertaining and educational.

[@noobFab]

Love the new graphics and editing to incorporate them - subtle humor is awesome! Amazing work, as always. Long may it continue!

[@zdenekrusek5237]

Love the new style of video editing! Spindle also looks fine ;) Cheers mate!

[@1crazypj]

Just subscribed. That was interesting video, the chuck coming loose brought back some memories of when I was training in mid 1970's. One of my fellow students wondered what would happen if he ran machine 'flat out (about 1,500rpm) then put it in reverse. A 14" chuck (360mm?) bouncing around the workshop was something to avoid and caused a fair bit of damage to various machines and cabinets it bounced off. Your English is also very good and the video game references fun. (my grandson has recently started playing video games)

[@wyattselleck7236]

Damn fine work! Congratulations on your first paying job.

[@artmckay6704]

Bravo! You the man! Thank you so much for doing these videos and sharing them! We all always miss you when you don't do videos. We all look forward to seeing your vids! :)
