Hello, many persons are interested in learning machining skills but don't have an instructor available. Here's an exceptionally attractive instructional video about turning brass to make a tool. The machinist is a clockmaker and has a Youtube channel called Clickspring. I think you will find his videos interesting, useful, and visually stunning. -

Hi Folks, Last year I purchased a pair of brass pedestals for my Smuggler project. They were turned on a lathe at the factory but the surface was very rough so I decided to polish them on my mini metal lathe. I tried three setups, two of which turned out to be unsafe, so I've decided to share my experience. The first setup was the most unsafe. The three jaw chuck has it's jaws protruding slightly. Also, the live center isn't touching the workpiece so it could come off the machine and fly around the room I immediately got whacked in the middle finger on my left hand right on the tip of my finger. If that wasn't bad enough, I play guitar and bass all the time and my fingers are sore anyway. Thankfully, there was no blood or broken bone. The second setup was better but still not perfect. I was still using the three jaw chuck, but reversed the jaws so they didn't protrude as much. Also, I used a piece of threaded rod to secure the workpiece. The third setup is the best. I used the threaded rod as in setup #2 and used a jacobs chuck which is much smaller. The bottom line is: think through your setup, turn the machine over manually before turning it on to identify any dangers, run it on the slowest speed the first time. In the end, my pedestals look great, but I could have injured myself in the process. Be careful with your power tools! Jamie

Well, I'll be building this one up, for I have to go through the paheses as I build this one (still rather recent) The plank which supports is approximately 1 meter x 20 cm x 2.5 cm. The others are 1.8 cm thick. It's all pine wood. Took some of the thinner planks and made a base for the drill. Drilled/sawed a hole the size of the forward part of the drill body which normally would hold the handle. Cut a groove in the plank from the top to the top of the hole so It can clamp the drill. The images show it better than I can explain in my poor English .. After that I took a router and made a groove all over the length, and twoo lesser ones on the side of that one which I 'll use for alluminium strips. The use of those will become apparent. Some chisseling to be done .. and fitting the strips ...
