  Little known machinist trick... They make round bar in smaller sizes😁. Very nice! You are really grasping the techniques. 👍

  Handle is beautiful and you can always remake the hook part later or maybe a back scratcher attachment.

  Looks like a good tool to pull cotter pins.

  This is perfect for welding, too. For slag.

  I like what you did!!!  Keep learning and improving.  Another tool (to buy, not make) that I love seeing Youtubers use is a "Magnetic Chip Collector Wand" for cleaning up.

  Nice build and good video. A small advice for tapping Aluminum: I made better experience with coolant fluid or petroleum when tapping it than regular cutting oil. Probably because while the oil results in chips sticking to the tap, coolant fluid and petroleum don't have that effect and therefor are less likely to remove too much material while tapping. There also are special taps for cutting aluminum, which have sharper edges than standard taps. Petroleum seems to prevent the micro-level welding of steel and aluminum, which is the reason why steel and aluminium tend to bind together.

  Clever little tool, and nicely made. Consider fluting instead of knurling next time; some guys prefer it.

  Thanks for the great vid again.  Is the playback of lathe and mill cutting in real time or 2x or 3X?
