Too many people accept "it's good enough". Thus, when folks strive for perfection, it makes it that much better. I love seeing old equipment properly restored the right way vs. half assed. Well done.

I’m impressed by the use of a mag drill for line boring; the lad at Snowball Engineering built himself a very interesting tool

I've found myself watching a lot of your videos and have subbed. One thing I have to say that I like is that you're not afraid to make a long video. I really enjoy these longer ones.

"30 - 40 hrs of work to set up for a few minutes of machining." That's dedication.

There was a ton of instructional material in this video comma and you did an excellent job. I will confess. I never thought there could possibly be such nuances to the operation of an arbor press. Well done!

The one thing I would’ve liked to seen you do is how do you set your cutter to how much you want to cut in the hole.

I loved it! I'm a perfectionist too so I feel your pain and even though we make things harder on ourselves than it needs to be when your struggles pay off and everything comes together its an amazing feeling, excellent video and excellent work!! Keep this great content coming, I love your refurbishment/rebuild videos, its nice to see another person go WAY above and beyond striving for perfection! Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!!

Great video of crafting a line boring machine out of a mag-drill.

Great job, your choice of flamboyant light red, is a bold move. Great piece of kit.

“So it wasn’t crazy.” Really? How about just slightly insane? I’m pulling your leg. You are a master of your craft and do beautiful work. Thank you for sharing, and good health in the New Year.

That was very cool. I have never thought of using a mag drill as a line boring machine - new subscriber
