Back in 1969 I was in industrial training school doing my apprenticeship. I made the v block on the shaper and the v block clamp with a hack saw and all sorts of files. I hated it at the time but now I'm 73 I can't get enough of it.

You do you. A fast forward and skip function exists for a reason. Great work

Climb milling at full depth on a machine like that is a crazy move

i absolutely love to see the longer side of making things. i understand fast-forwarding like cutting and things like that. but ya for me i don't mind watching longer more tedious machining vids.

I enjoy the longer videos. Sometimes u see details that u normally wouldn't if its sped up. If i want/need to speed it up I got a ffw button. Lol.<br>Love the videos man just wish they came more often. Keep'em coming brother. 🤘

Some of us are non-machinists but fast forwarding and skip work for us as long as we get the main idea of what you are up to. Thanks for taking us along.

You don't need to sort about skipping or fast fwd, we can do that if necessary, personally I enjoy the whole trip. Thanks for all the work you put in these machining jobs and videos. I used to teach in Further Ed. Engineering both practical and theory and I know the time it takes for both. Your honest approach to your work and your viewers is well balanced. Always remember you won't please everyone (don't even try!) they can move on if they don't like it ( or ban them if they are impolite!) So long as you keep a good relationship going with the majority your doing ok 👌, the numbers don't lie!<br>Good luck for the future and keep on making that swarf!👍😁👏

Another great Vid mate. Oh, and what makes em so good is that you show mostly everything in the whole process and for people like me who are learning, this is priceless. So, please keep showing in as much detail as you can tolerate (even though that'll give you a ball ache Editing task. But it is genuinely appreciated.......keep em coming please.<br><br>Side Note : 2 Vids a week would be good 😉
