Thanks again for all you do here, it is very much appreciated by many of us. I have just finished my height gauge...tonight...it was well worth the effort, I had no access to hardening steel for the scriber, and made mine from a 6mm thick piece of hss... perfect.

[@mrpete222]

Nice job-thanks for watching

[@albertosebastian9856]

i know I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?

[@literoadie3502]

Thank you for getting me into machining Mr. Pete, the shop teacher I never had, and I'm young.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching--glad I helped

[@garyw.elmqurst6272]

hanks again for this 3rd part, You have done such a fine job of showing and teaching that I want to make one also. Thanks again Mr Pete Your videos are very good and I know how much hard work goes into them. Again thank you for taking the time in passing on your knowledge and experience to all of us.

@5:15 "Sometimes I have my wife come down and hold the work, and I can just scribe up a storm, you see." 😂😂😂 Mr. Pete you are hilarious, this made my day. Thanks so much for all the top quality content!

Well done Mr. Pete, she turned out real nice!

I wish I had been in your high school shop class. Nicely done.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@cmonster6]

I definitely vote for the little pointer on the scale

[@mrpete222]

Me too-Thanks for watching

[@MiffyNichen]

Thank you very much for showing how to make those. It's fantastic.

[@mrpete222]

Glad you like them!

[@MiffyNichen]

Yes, I like the videos a lot... I wonder that you picked up the name, "Tubalcain", from the Bible. Unless one is familiar with the Book, he or she has no idea who is Tubalcain... So, you must be a careful reader. I hope that you can share your testimony in the video if possible. It is rare to see Christians around in my country. I'm particularly interested in reasons why you believe. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful videos and bless you!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Very nice height gauge so far. Thanks for the video.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@wk7060]

Very nice job on the small clamp.

[@jamiebuckley1769]

another great video series thanks for your time and knowage. just to mention about dog point set screws they are flat on the bottom to sit flat on a flat.

[@mrpete222]

Yes-Thanks for watching

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Love the project, made a set of drawings already.

[@mrpete222]

Awesome-Thanks for watching.

[@JunkMikesWorld]

I have an import 12" height gauge that was given to me. The scriber and clamp were missing. I purchased a replacement scriber from Shars for around $14.00. I still need a clamp for it and I hope to get to it one day. All the best! Mike

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@garyc5483]

Excellent series. regards from the UK

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@jasonburns1407]

Thanks for the information on the scale.Love the project sure will be getting the drawings. thankyou shop teacher ;

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching.

[@countrycraftsman5110]

Place a piece of stock of the same thickness on the other side of vice jaw to clamp your work. It keeps the vice from racking. I do it with my vices on the drill press and bandsaw when working with short pieces.

[@alt-w7130]

Thanks for showing these interesting projects.

[@MrAvjones]

Again I'm amazed at the skill's that you show. Even thou I do not have this type of machinery that you use, I still enjoy watching you create something from metal. I expect we are close to the same age (43), raised up in the country. We did not have the kind of schooling that you teach as a teacher. All we learn to do was to either castrate a hog, or build a rabbit box. And you said that 1/64 was to small for you in reading, well 1/2 is for me. Old Toot (Alfred Jones)

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching-I'm 73

[@MrAvjones]

Oh, I meant 73, I want to be 43.

[@MrAvjones]

I wrote the wrong year, I'm 73 also. Born 44

good Video this is joe the mr pete 222 lathe cut out u are in person as u are on Video a great man thanks for all the time u put in the channel

[@mrpete222]

Thanks Joe (from superman's home)

[@TractorWrangler01]

I may be to late for this but you could put a 1/4" piece of brass on the inside radius to fit into the ruler slot shallow enough that it doesn't hit the ruler but will serve a dual purpose. To keep your thumbscrew lined up properly on the flat area and also as a pointer that will put the brass close enough to the ruler that old eyes can read it without to much strain. Just a thought. :-)

[@mrpete222]

Good thought

[@paultavres9830]

Mr Pete project idea Looking at your wiggler i thought a laser would be cool Pick up a rifle bullet laser sighter Take some 1/2” stock bore to fit the bullet but not all the way through then the last part put a final small hole may be .015 or as small as possible thru end Put the bullet laser in the 1/2” stock Laser point the center punch What do you think

[@mrpete222]

Good idea, thank you

[@johncrea9395]

Lyle You ca by economy 1-2-3 blocks (pair) for around $15, and use one of those at a cost less than the raw metal from hobby metals. Would think it would make a great base for this project John

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@EitriBrokkr]

in the final video, you should point out, used in conjuntion with a set of gauge blocks, it should be extremely accurate

[@mrpete222]

I think thats in the next part

[@billmclaughlin2278]

Silver solder would be ideal, for the clamp part you made, it makes a much stronger joint. I watch all of your videos

[@mrpete222]

I considered that

[@michaelmurray3422]

Fun project...Looks like another one I'll have to try. Just for a quick question, Why is the scriber, the clamp, and the round holder, made up of three parts?? It just seems that there would be more room for error, with so many parts that could come loose. Have fun!!!!!

[@johnstrange6799]

Thank you as always.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@kevCarrico]

i always take a set screw to a job interview... that way i'm sure to leave an impression!

The machine cut rules are used for setting your dividers.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@99tcdyna]

Why would you tap the steel base for a coarse thread and the aluminum slide for a fine thread? My understanding is that for a given nominal size a fine thread bolt is stronger due to how much material is left after cutting the threads, but a coarse thread has more surface area and less likely to pull the threads out of the aluminum.

[@raymondsymonds6103]

Put a scrap piece the same thickness in the other aide of the vice !

[@cdrom1070]

clean up your surface plate and polish/lap all the pieces so they are shiny, its amusing how it looks. It reminds me of the '4th dimension' episode in the simpsons where homer finds another dimension behind his closet because its so geometric.. its quite aesthetically appealing (you only can have simple shapes on the surface plate, it almost feels like there is a traffic jam in the city lol, I have been lapping for too long even my momma thinks my mind is gone

You could use the other post to make a metric scale.

[@mrpete222]

Yep-Thanks for watching

[@chuckturner6984]

zumbazumba1 I LOVE my cave man system of measuring. It exercises my brain much more than something that is based on 10s.

[@ronalddavis]

When I was working at the shipyard the tech reps would come in from rolls Royce,wartsila,etc and they would give us those 6 inch scales. Over the years I must have received 100 of them and lost every one lol

[@mrpete222]

LOL--Thanks for watching

[@kristoferjonsson3362]

If you use gage blocks to set the height you wouldn't need a scale and it would be very accurate.

[@mrpete222]

In the next part

[@vajake1]

I think that Starrett "photo etches" the numbers and graduations on their scales.

[@MrShobar]

They're supposed to be engine ruled for accuracy.

[@vajake1]

Search KZbin for "How It' Made; Starrett Combo Square".

[@tosborn56]

According to the current Starrett catalog, Catalog 33, page 288...."All of our precision steel rules are photo-engraved." And "All rules are photo-engraved and tempered for long life and flexibility." Catalog 26 from 1938 states that their rules were "machine divided" using new graduating machines of Mr. Starrett's own design.

Get some-Thanks for watching. (taper gauges)

[@rowandunn2403]

Inaccurate sharpies meh might as will use a 50cal instead.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@contemporiser]

Shocking! after seeing all your videos I thought there is no cutter you don't have.

[@mrpete222]

I need more!

Nice project. I need a height gauge. Where do you find a scrib? Alan

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching.-make it

[@TimothyHall13]

Making sure the head is "trammed up". Can you explain that to me so a complete noob might understand it? Thanks!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you!

Trivia time (from Wikipedia): Due to a changing mission, the "National Bureau of Standards" became the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 1988.

[@mrpete222]

Everybody has a mission statement, lol. Thanks for watching.

[@bobbyw9046]

Just curious as to why you did not "hollow out" a piece of solid steel for the Clamp.

[@MrShobar]

The square inside corners are a problem.

[@bobbyw9046]

I understand, but files can be used without too much of a hassle.

[@mrpete222]

Make a couple your way--and you will see why

Will a wiggler and an edge finder work horizontally for a mill attachment on a lathe

[@mrpete222]

Yes, it should

[@jfpinkston1]

Great video. Thanks! How did you get the name "Tubalcain"?

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching.

Interesting. Thanks

[@CapeCodCNC]

It looked like the reamer did absolutely nothing

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@KyHighlander59]

I think the video lies. Just like a camera adds 10 pounds.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@KyHighlander59]

I was referring to when you said the wiggler appeared to be off in the video but looked fine to your eye. I would trust my eye before the video because the optics can be erroneous.

[@KyHighlander59]

BTW you're my favorite KZbin channel

[@mrpete222]

Thank you soooooooooooo much!
