  I love your videos tubalcain. Take all the time you need. The details are important in a craft like this. My father was a machinist for most of his adult life. Sadly he died when I was only 12 so I never got to learn this stuff from him.

  Take your time mrpete. I like it when you thoroughly explain things with your &quot;side bars&quot;. &nbsp;Those people who are want you to rush rush rush are in a hurry to get to the end of their life. The rest of us are stopping to enjoy life. One of my highlights of the day is when I get an alert that mrpete222 has a new video. Keep doing what you are doing. <br>Matt

  Mr. Pete, I think the more information you give helps us all. People can fast forward if they get bored. Also, you can show the metric measure just by using the toggle button at the top of your caliper. &nbsp;Each time you make a check, just toggle back and forth a couple of times until it becomes a habit. Then all the metric folk will be happy!

  I recently bought a tap follower very similar to the ones that have the black knurled caps you showed. My tap follower has both the cup and the point. you just have the unscrew the cap and flip around the point and reassemble. &nbsp;handy tool! love the videos Mr Pete keep them coming!!
