+1 Always entertaining – Especially the fun he has with Stefan Gotteswinter who is also one of my favourite YouTubers.

Very entertaining but what where the red hot ray gun beams doings brazing up the tool tip at about 12.30? Also must be the most expensive coffee pot ever, even neglecting the labour content. > £30?

I don't think I want to work out if either the contents or the output of my workshop is cost-effective!

Stefan and This Old Tony are two of my favourites, both for the excellence of their work and the quality of their videos. Tony has also had a dig at another of my favourites, Abom79 – when he made his over arm support for his Schaublin mill. I rarely watch tv these days, preferring the videos from the YT machining community.

It's good to see some creators can mix genuine machining content with a little humour .

I can't stand it when they just want to stand in front of a camera and jibber about their life .

Last night i watched a few videos from metal tips and tricks and he made a video explaining the nomenclature of various carbide inserts for turning , He had a guy on there who is a sales / technical advisor for Seco

They had a Seco catalogue to show what the numbers and letters mean but the video does get a little fuzzy at times .You can gett various apps from kyocera , sandvik etc from the app store that show the same stuff as the Seco catalogue- wouldn't be surprised if they have an app also.

If we start worrying about cost effectiveness of our workshops we will be doomed!

Think or the many thousands of dollars in machinery and materials we buy just to make various models whether they be a simple wobbler engine or a loco you would never get your money back let alone make a profit !

What we do get is enjoyment .

+1.

Doubleboost, Abom 79, and Keith Fenner, Oxtoolco.

All entertaining, informative and interesting.

Was he using CNC to control that rotary table?? Tsk tsk. The coffee will never taste as good as if it were all handcrafted by manual machining.

[frank brownParticipant @frankbrown22225]

I wonder if starting off with a few blocks of Applewood and Beech and a pile of Charcoal would lead to a nicer tasting coffee that would be more "mature"?. Bacon fat for machining might be smoother and less acidic to the tongue then these modern nasty chemicals.

Nothing wrong with bacon fat Frank – I used to keep a little bit on a lid-top for tapping purposes. Works quite well but needed renewing from time to time – better than nothing when tapping steel though. Finally bit the bullet and purchased a (lifetimes supply for me) 500ml tin of Trefolex which has it's own distinctive small and still reminds me of metalworking at night school where I first used it.

Liked Old Tony's tip for milling off the beginning of the internal screw thread too…
