I first saw this tool on Prezzo's channel, and was astonished at how clever it was, it had never occurred to me that this would be possible on a metal lathe. I can see how anyone wanting to make steam-age models would see this as essential for all those brass finials and linkages on their Victorian/Edwardian models. Great for shower doorknobs, too!

Hi Quinn. I’m a newcomer to your channel. I’ve really enjoyed watching a few recent videos and going back through the catalog of old series and videos you have already done. I’m a machinist by trade in the US and really like sitting back and watching you work. Hopefully one day I can have a hobby shop of my own and make stuff I want to make instead of huge parts for our customers here. You seem very knowledgeable and I love the tempo of your content. I definitely subscribed and hope to stick around as long as I can. Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the shoutout Quinn. Welcome to the turnado club! I am still finding new uses for mine. It is definitely hard work though!

It's so easy for me to understand you since I'm a retired software engineer into electronics and machining. You just make sense to me. I'm glad you're there and I'm glad so many others follow your channel.

I liked that technique of using the tailstock as a guide at the end. Cool little tip there!

That shim stock trick was worth the price of entry. Thank you!
