We take a big mistake at work and turn it into the next midnight infomercial workout machine. Making BIG punches and dies with scrap tool steel. Using the 100 ton Armstrong powered press to punch holes in plate.

    You are by far my favourite "youtuber" but I really taught that you are a macheanist, and you are just making fun, until I saw this video. Still my favourite youtuber

    That is some fine tuning of a precision instrument. So damn funny. Pretty impressive achievement overall with the die.

    I think that the digital vernier has had its final adjustment…
    Oh, and thanks for showing that carbide inserts can cut hardened tool steel.

    Dude, I love your vageos, but it freaks me out when I see you turning something on the lathe. And no! – nothing to do with gloves, it's the way you hold your tool. The more experienced lathe jockeys will tell you – you gotta hold the tool as close to the tip as the situayshun will allow to reduce flex and chatter. The boring tool in this vageo looked like it was expecting a hole three times as deep, and even the facing tool was reaching out like it was afraid to touch.
