I have been watching his stuff for a while now and would second this as being interesting viewing.

The best part of his videos, for me, are that he shows how he sets things up – centering, indicating, adjusting. These are the pieces that most videos take for granted and that us beginners really need to see.

He is a very versatile builder and it is inspiring to watch him work.

Hi S.

If you like Keith's videos you might also like the ones that a young lad in one of the former soviet republics has posted on YT. He goes by the nom de video of FactoryDragon87 and if you want to see some real engineering start with his latest series **LINK**.

If you think Keith has a "get'er done" attitude, you will be delighted by FD87's attitude to work and hopefully delighted that there is somewhere in the world where a youngster is getting into proper engineering not just "mouse wrangling" like they want to do here.

Enjoy

PS I wish my son had a similar attitude to enterprise, but then even if he did he would not have the H&S freedoms that seem to prevail in that part of the world, what a shame!

Hi Ady,

You tube is often better than a nights TV, but there is also some awful dross. There are lots of videos put up to show off to the world their new found skill at some simple task that unfortunately is not yet fully understood by the presenter. A typical example is someone who has learnt, or so he thinks, to screw thread but sets the top slide at completely the wrong angle, there are at least two showing this faux pas. One of them even puts a line on the screen to guide others(since corrected I believe) to follow his lead!!

Still, we can't all be perfect, can we?

Another good one if you are into hobby style gear cutting is by a guy called Shorty Leatherwood who goes by the Youtube name of Hobbynut.

I really rate this guy, far better than those overpriced crap DVD's sold by Jose Rodregas who can't even get the value of Pi right.

Hi All

I have only watched this mans heat treatment videos so far….Easy to understand and clearly presented. Highly recommended if you have not seen them.

There is a lot of other topics covered by this man.

One on chip formation caught my eye among many others.

mrpete222 and Keith Rucker also post very interesting video's, Keith spends a lot of his time refurbishing/repairing old machinery both also worth a look.

Another couple that I watch are:

abom79

oxtools

you will find the above two on Keith Fenners site as well because they made a few videos called face off where they took turns designing , grinding and testing lathe tools to take some unbelievable cuts on their lathe.

andybythesea – he did a video on turbocad that I found usefull.

another is myfordboy he does a lot of videos about casting metal .

Ian.

My particular favourite is 'Doubleboost' based in Newcastle on Tyne… He has a VG video series called 'Sunday night nightcap' uploaded every Sunday night; he has so far produce 97 of them & last week he was wondering how to celebrate his 100th posting, I think he's putting together a video on a lot of his outtakes in which his commentary, & language, is quite colourful & often hilarious, he covers a lot of stuff, lathe work, milling work, welding & casting, all self taught, A vehicle mechanic by trade he has / does some excellent work, I watch him every week.

Wholeheartedly recommend Stefan Gotteswinter, but let us not forget "Clickspring" whose video production is second to none. Both of these guys only seem to put up videos on things they are working on and not "ooh look what I bought at the flea market" or "see how much I'm appreciated by my viewers by the things they sent me", Do I sound cynical, not true (well maybe just a bit), just bored by hours of seeing "viewer appreciation gifts" on the table I would rather see them in use.

What a pity he cannot hold a drill square to the object when trying to remove the spring ball oiler, nothing really wrong with the standard oiler IMHO.
