The fact that I, personally, stress over turning a 1 inch rod, while you seem to be so cool and collect making something so small and amazing. It's brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been machining for close to 55 years. I’m always impressed to see how things are made.

Please don't stop making this series, it's so great and insightful!

As someone more used to making 6" scale traction engines, this is an amazing insight into tiny engineering, thanks.

I have to say single point threading a 0.6mm screw is insane

Toothpick becomes telegraph pole! Very intricate engineering thank you for sharing!

I bought a lathe 35 odd years ago and having never even turned on one proceeded to create a saw mill from a pile of scrap sawmill parts and pictures I had of the various components that were missing ( like the V wheels for the trolley) I thought that was difficult so here I am laughing in ignorant bliss at the perception of "difficult" Great video, spectacular oration, great videography and sharing your passion in a quality video for me to ride along with living my life vicariously through you makers of the world is priceless.

Go-ly, I love that lathe! Clean as a whistle, looks as bought yesterday. I´m looking for years now but anything affordable is rather junk and I´m more broke than alive...

Thank you so much for sharing. I want to start working on small parts. Amazing work. I love how many steps there are and the end result is not only beautiful but durable. Slotted screws will never die.

I've seen incredible levels of accuracy and precision done by hand using machinery that to look at you'd swear it was done by a CNC robot. Watches that take up to 80 hours or more just to assemble, and God knows how many hours to make each part. It's amazing to erm... watch

6:13 Eclipse instrument makers vise spotted! Might be my favorite tool they are such a beautiful design :)

LOL! Just last night I was in fact watching your previous screw making video, then I checked your video gallery for the finishing techniques. Thank you for posting these!

I know absolutely nothing about metal work, but I find this to be both amazing and fascinating.

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing 👍 🇬🇧

Very pleasant video, it's always a joy to see artisans at work. In this case you could call it alchemy, he's making steel worth it's weight in gold...

There's two types of insanity in this world. The first is where you don't know what you're doing and the other is where you know exactly what you're doing. The mastery here is the latter. Amazing!

Everything's so clean!

An absolute pleasure to watch !

The craftsmanship is beautiful and fantastic. Great job!!
