‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, so I sneaked out like a mouse.
The drill bits were placed in their index with care,
In hopes that new tooling soon would be there.

The machine tools were cleaned, and oiled in their place,
While visions of a Moore jig borer brought a smile to my face.
And while my family was inside and all snug in their beds,
I was working to finish some Christmas gifts for them instead.

When out in the shop there arose such a chatter,
I sprang from my band saw to see what was the matter.
Away to the lathe I flew like a flash,
Hitting the big red stop, it ended with a crash.

Some light on the now freshly wrecked homemade tool
Meant no new gifts would be delivered this yule.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a Fiat Panda, and a very tall Stefan Gotteswinter.

With a little old wrench used lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he would show me his sharpening trick.
More rapid than lightening I took out the workpiece,
And I sharpened the tool to finish the gift for my niece.

“Now Hardinge, now Wrong Fu, now Deckel, and Myford!
On Linley, on Schaublin, on Monarch and Boxford,
To the Deckel clone!, to the sharpening stone!
No need to dress the CBN cone!

And then, in a twinkling, I heard “this will not do”
Stefan was examining my grinder through and through.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Out of the Panda came Stefan with Biax scraper inbound.

He was soon covered in Canode from his head to his foot,
His clothes were all blue and yellow, including his boots.
The efficient German worked diligently through,
To turn my Deckel clone into something much more true.

A wink of his eye and a scrape by his hand,
Soon gave me to know I would have nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, except for Youtube,
And educated the masses so they were no longer noobs.

Soon the Deckel was done, everything adjusted up right,
Then Stefan Gotteswinter fled back into the night.
And as he started off in his Panda to journey back home,
He rolled down his window and gestured towards the Deckel clone.

I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

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):

• 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.

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!

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 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

• • 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.

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.

• Max’s work on his Trent Pinion mill
• Change gears on the lathe – you don’t need that 127 tooth to cut metric threads all the time.  Max finds a really well done gear calculator on the internet: http://geargenerator.com
• Justin gets a Delta Rockwell surface grinder for the home shop and tells the story about dragging it home in his father in law’s truck
• Max can’t be outdone: 7 Hjorths, an overloaded van, pouring rain and a flat tire
• Any other Hjorth owners out there?  Send us some info!

• Quit spreading rumors about HSS bluing!

• They are not Titanium drill bits!
• Max untwists a drill
• We talk for 1/2 hour longer than we planned.  Consider it punishment.
