The Recreational Machinist

Occasionally committing my spare time home-machinist follies to video for posterity. Mainly so I can look back and see that, from time to time, I did manage to make something besides a load of noise and swarf. My methods are slow and cumbersome, so I only manage two or three longer films per year here on YouTube, but I have back-burner projects, repairs and general tinkering going on most of the time - these are recorded blog style on Facebook and Instagram. I read all the comments, but don't always have time to reply individually. Where a theme develops I'll try to add more information / answer questions in the text accompanying the video. I'm just a hobby guy, not a business. Mid-roll ads are turned off, you'll not be force fed any 'thanks to today's sponsor' or incongruous product placements. Thanks for dropping by 馃憤聽馃嚞馃嚙
