Hey Folks!
A bit of tool'ception to close out the year! This one will make an appearance in the dial indicator project and I expect in several other projects too.
Cheers,
Chris.

@BobWidlefish
@BobWidlefish Жыл бұрын
@@AgentWestI have no idea how he did it. How I would do it: Point a camera at scene 1 and use the live feed to mark the edges of the visible camera frame with tape. Measure the coordinate of the plate you want to do the visual effect with relative to the tape. Your goal is to place a dot sticker at the center of where the plate ends up after throwing it in scene 1. Now setup scene 2 and tape around the edges of the visible video feed again and place the dot sticker in the same relative location as from scene 1, and place the plate exactly on that dot with the same relative orientation. Now do a blend transition from scene 1 to scene 2. The effect will be as if the plate is thrown from scene 1 into scene 2, with just the background changing.

Either it was a happy accident or it was intentional. How I'd do it: gently toss it down as he did. Take the camera to the new location, changing nothing about the camera or tripod (except height if the new surface is greatly different from the old surface. Play the video back and note the location and rotation of the part. Place the part down as close as possible. Since it's a still image, I'd rotate the part around a few degrees, and capture a few frames of each orientation. Then in my editing software, I'd find the closest take, and digitally correct for any discrepancies (scale, rotation, position).

I love the way you do tiny screws. It's so clear all the attention to detail you employ to go far beyond the precision and functionality of garden variety, hardware-store screws. That includes the cut that keeps the threads from reaching all the way to the head. I can just feel how cleanly the assembly with the those screws will go together. The results are so clean and beautiful. Ah, but everyone who follows this channel knows this.

Isn’t there that saying? “Measure twice, cut once.” He probably does a lot of planning, trying to think about all the possibilities that could go wrong before they do. Although I definitely do think that certain parts (like the painstaking engraving) do take far longer than others. He might be spacing them out to make it a more consistent upload schedule.

That is some really gorgeous tool making. I work on substantially larger machine tools, it's a real joy to watch such fine finishing on such tiny parts. I inherited my grandfather's watch maker's lathe a few years ago when my father passed. I believe I will make such a plate, even though I doubt I will ever do such work as demands it. I fiddle around a bit with clocks and watches but nothing like major work. Very nicely done, I love the look of aluminum bronze, I've done a fair bit of work in it on props and couplings for fishing boats about twenty years ago, working in Morehead City, NC. We did shafts six inches in diameter, twenty odd feet long, and the props and couplings for Tiara Yachts. We made a couple hundred pounds of chips a day, cutting the couplings and the props.

You make superb videos that are always a real pleasure to watch Chris ! The level of detail in your machining is matched perfectly by the level of detail you achieve with your videos, it's the subtle things like showing the making of the screws in the beginning which you finish at the end and things like dropping the faceplate on the bench which fades into sitting on the lathe without moving and with perfectly matched lighting ! Even your audio is a fine work of detailed care and understanding which I have never heard before on any internet videos, nobody gets the audio as good as you ! Clearly you understand that some people will use headphones and some use speakers so the audio has to be uncluttered and you keep it that way but still have machine sounds, tool sounds, switch sounds, music and voice over but they are all perfectly balanced and I can have the volume up as high as I like on my big speakers or extremely low and still enjoy every detail ! I wish you'd run courses for video creators on mixing audio in videos, there are a lot of channels that would benefit greatly from this information ! Well done Chris !!!

If I ever started to make watches (which will be never) this video will be of great help.

Chris, I don't have a lathe nor the space to craft like I would want. I only understand about half of what you do, but I am going to have to live my creativity through you. I love your work and I have followed your channel for several years now. Thank you so much for what you do and your decision to share it with us.

Have you seen Chris’s recent video tour of his workshop? Unless you’re into crafting large scale objects, it seems even a broom-closet-sized room can suffice. ;)

In addition to being an obviously brilliant and exacting machinist, I never fail to notice what a talented filmmaker you are. Your productions are a joy to watch. Keep it up.

Nice surprise to get one of the longer videos. The smoothest journey into precision on KZbin.

The amount of setup and tool making is amazing that alone the finished item is still only a tool/jig itself. The plate sure looks surprised. 🍻

It is always an immense pleasure to watch someone who is so meticulous turn something on the lathe. Your work comes off the lathe with the finish quality that many people get after they've gone through all of their post-turning finishing. It truly is wonderful.

Still not sure what it's supposed to do, but it's already looking amazing! I like that you use brass so often, it's a great-looking material.

It's a holding fixture for the lathe, meant to hold flat plates on the lathe, but allowing for varying clamp placement to deal with plates of different shapes, and allowing different points on the plate to be the center. The clamps will attach to the slots in the faceplate, and will also hold the plate away from the surface of the faceplate.

Ahem - brass is a rather inferior material, in comparison with aluminium bronze which this is made from.

I am always so disappointed at the end of each one of these videos - disppointed it has ended and I have to wait for the next one! Everything about these videos is pure bliss and I find myself in a stupor watching them, only to be brought to the reality of real life when I hear the fateful words, "See ya later!". Well I can tell you sir, I shall be seeing you later! Great stuff!
