Many things have happened since we last published a podcast.  Not only has a year almost gone by, but now there are many more machining related podcasts than ever before.  We would like to remind everyone that we are the first and also the worst!  And the bad news is we are back and we hope to publish more regularly going forward.

This episode is mostly shop updates and us bantering Top Gear style about what we have been up to.

Stefan wanted us all to have a look at this thread on PM:

No the podcast is not dead!  After a very large pause (for various reasons – a story for another day) the podcast is back with an episode recorded way back in September.  Nevertheless the conversation is timeless and just as applicable today as it was when it was recorded.  In this episode John Saunders, the man who went from a humble machine shop apartment in New York City to a full fledged machine shop in Ohio, joins us and talks shop.  Some of the things we talk about include:

• CNC machine tools of all sorts!
• CNC tooling
• April Fools day jokes
• SMW Johnny 5
• Telsas, Makerspaces and the future.

And much more!  You can listen to it here:

or you can download it directly.

Many many thanks to John for taking time out of his very busy schedule and record a show with us.  John’s business is Saunders Machine Works.  He runs another page which reflects his beginnings in a New York apartment called NYCNC.  His Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/nyccnc.  You can follow John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saundersmachineworks/.  John also is co-host of a podcast with John Grimsmo called the Business of Machining.

After a one month hiatus due to a number of reasons (typical of home shop machining), Max and Justin are joined by the King of 16″ South Bend lathes: Tom Utley.  But nobody in the hobby calls him that.  He is King Tutley.  Tom, an engineer by day, is best know in this hobby for his time (over the last 3 years!) and dedication in taking a clapped out  second world war 16″ South Bend lathe and returning it to better than new condition.  Some of the interesting topics:

• Tom talks about the bench grinders he has been working on that will soon be up for sale.  If you are interested in getting a properly restored Baldor bench grinder be sure to get in touch with Tom!
• We talk about paint.  Is 2 part epoxies worth the trouble for machine tools?
•  Previously a woodworker Tom has moved into the metal side of things.  The people are generally more friendly, albeit slightly less normal.
• Why don’t we encourage more to work with their hands?  All three of us share our frustrations with a general society that no longer values craft work.  Shop work is good for the soul!
• A well documented page on Tom’s journey: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/south-bend-lathes/1943-south-bend-16-x-60-lathe-resurrection-299300/
• Chemical Etching.  Tom has done a fantastic job with all the brass name and label plates on his South Bend:
• Photo resist etching.  More popular with watchmaking types, Max talks a bit about his journey into photo resist etching:
• Variable Frequency drives.  Tom has put a great deal of effort into the VFD controls, enclosure, and wiring has installed on his lathe.  It is one of the best executed projects of such nature on the web:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opxVLWTiW7E
• Huanyang VFDs: a fine German made product?
• The Guillocheur Video: https://youtu.be/uN-zN8OLh_w
• Of course would the show be a show without mentioning Stefan?

If you are just starting out in your home shop or need a few ideas for your next project you will certainly find it in this episode.  After getting through the craft beer podcast and shop updates, which involve Max getting a tow, Max and Justin talk about useful simple shop tools as well as Tchotchkes and probably everything in between (don’t tell us you’re surprised!).  In the process both Max and Justin have extended their shop project lists.  You could even make a really nice homemade brake line flaring tool (we won’t talk about liability):

When one Phillips isn’t enough.  Recorded in between years as Stefan would say, Max invites his brother Thayer and his father Fred on to join in an end of year discussion with our new semi regular co-host Stefan Gotteswinter!  In this episode we talk about:

• Fred’s shop that Thayer works out of.  Fred has a really nice Rockwell mill (one of our all time home shop favourites) and a Southbend Heavy 13.
• We talk about gunsmithing in the United States, Germany and Canada
• Live free or die!
• CAD and Stefan’s embrace of Autodesk Fusion.
• Stefan machined some really nice Torx screws using his Deckel pantograph.
• Justin is busy making Christmas presents.
• Stefan wants to get a CNC lathe in 2018.
• Max is hoping to finish his Trent pinion mill.
• Both Max and Justin are hoping to get back to semi regular posting on Youtube.
• And finally cars.  Max is hoping to get some German iron.

A final note regarding the live stream with Robin Renzetti and Stefan Gotteswinter.  We are still hoping to do this in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned for more announcements!

After over a one month hiatus, Max and Justin are back with episode 13!

Some of the things we talk about include:

• Max has had limited time in the shop.  What does work always get in the way of what we want to do?
• Justin purchased a sub $200 USD digital read out from eBay.  He calls it the Shenzhen DRO.  And so far it has been pretty good.
• Justin’s new lathe – a Standard Modern 12×30 Utilathe.  It was terribly dirty.
• Which leads us into maintenance.  Why do so many people neglect equipment?
• Max goes into the wonderfully simple cone style plain bearings.  Keep it clean and adjusted!
• Bearing preload
• How do you keep track of all those oil points?
• The importance of way oil
• Chuck lube.  Let the debate begin.  Max and Justin like getting sprayed with oil apparently.
• A live stream episode with Stefan Gotteswinter and Robin Renzetti?  Let us know your thoughts!

All that and a few tangents (would it be a show without a few?)

In this episode Max and Justin decide to prognosticate about what the home machining shop of the future looks like.  50 or 100 years down the road is it going to be full of modified CNC machines, or will the electronics on those machines render them scrap and only the old school manual machines still be in use?  We talk about

• Max’s sea foam green stamping fixture
• Max is working on a new TV stand for the house
• Justin finished his tailstock tap and die holder
• A new mill drill for Justin’s shop.  Did he make the Rong choice?
• The Dodge Omni and Shelby GLHS
• Do all VW owners hate Honda owners?
• Max’s hatred for all things Digifant
• Laser bandsaws
• Motivated millennials: will they keep CNC machines going?
• Are we living in an golden era for home shop machining?
• Will the cheap tooling end?

All that and much much more!

In this episode Max and Justin talk about finishing and both agree that they are terrible at actually finishing projects.  In fact, it is amazing that this podcast is still being recorded and not sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust waiting for completion.  It did actually sit for about a week until Justin managed to finish the editing!  In this episode:

• Justin finishes his toolpost for the Schaublin 102 and now is onto making proprietary arbors for the tailstock.  Why do watchmaking lathes seem to always use proprietary tooling? (Max’s Rivett is no exception)
• Max made a quick and dirty ER11 collet holder for the Hagar mill.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHO_IefxoA8
• Stefan Gotteswinter is mentioned numerous times.
• We talk about the cool planetary backgear setup on the tiny Craftsmen 109 lathe, its only redeeming feature.
• Max’s hand wheel for his Rivett:

  http://joyofprecision.com/post/63755099441/made-a-custom-storage-box-for-my-home-made
• As usual after about an hour into it we finally get to the topic du jour: finishing.  We look at all sorts of angles but find ourselves looking forward to the next podcast guest!
• Lathe files: https://www.amazon.com/Nicholson-Hand-American-Pattern-Rectangular/dp/B006P2XGDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502337709&sr=8-1&keywords=lathe+file and https://www.amazon.com/Bahco-104-12-3-Smooth-Lathe-12-Inch/dp/B007YR9J2W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1502337709&sr=8-5&keywords=lathe+file

In this episode Max and Justin take a trip down under, and back to the future, and  talk with John Creasey, an avid home shop machinist from Australia.  As usual the discussion topics vary considerably, but we do talk a bit of machining.  In this episode you’ll find:

• John and Justin get a little teary eyed over the Queen.  Don’t worry – we don’t break out in God Save the Queen
• Australian politics: the laws of mathematics are no match for the Australian government!
• John lets us know he has 2 Myfords.  His first was purchased by his father when he was 16.  Let’s here it for great Dads!
• Electric cars, VW Vanagons, and taking things apart when we were kids
• We talk about scouting, ripping out hard drives, and rip apart day
• Stefan is mentioned numerous times
• Did Max forget to empty his shop dehumidifier?
• Arduinos in the home shop: Edu Puertas (stop motion) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtDnvVeoqlKzpquM7IsNA and the Arduino lead screw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaBK9teKUaA

In a first for us we manage to get an episode recorded, edited, and posted in about 2 weeks!  Don’t worry we didn’t skimp on the quantity of the recording – this episode is a long as the rest of them (note nothing was said about quality!). In this episode we talk about work holding and tool holding in general.  Apologies for our voices – we both were recovering from colds.  Highlights include:

• • Max gets his turret finished just in time for Emma’s tool making competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe3ACUzET7Y Check out the pile of chips on the watchmaker’s lathe:
  • Justin is inching (what is the metric equivalent?) towards getting the Schaublin 102 up and running.
  • Someone opens a beverage.  Identify the time and send Justin an email: justin@thecogwheel.net  to claim your prize!
  • Justin is recording in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm.
  • 2 Jaw independent chuck?  We talk about one:
  • Justin and Max are big fans of ER collets.  Maritool is a great source for production quality stuff at reasonable prices.
  • Stefan Gotteswinter gets his mention.
  • Use your 3D printer, or a 3D printing service to make soft jaws for your vise!  Or a fixture setup for your face plate.
  • Clamping nuts – we don’t know what they are called but Max made up a set of them.  Identify them, send Justin and email justin@thecogwheel.net and claim your prize!
  • Max thinks Justin should build some die holders with driving squares in them like these ones:

All that and much much more.

Despite our terrible bantering in episode 2, Stefan Gotteswinter decides to come back on.  Max and I think perhaps he might be suffering from poor judgement.  In the longest episode to date we talk about:

• Stefan’s 1200 km drive to take Richard King’s scraping class and he lets us know some of what he has learned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO9GW0tAOIQ
• Push or pull scraping?
• Justin still can’t get over Stefan having Japanese power tools.  Isn’t there a law in Germany against this?
• We talk about Bosch
• We talk about machining titanium
• Max is busy working on his turret for Emma’s tool making competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_VHt6j_xtw
• We talk about bearings
• And there might be some beer talk.  Wrong podcast.  Again.
