I have a new found appreciation for machinists thanks to this guy.

That was a nice break from the day's work. Of course, now I'll end up working tonight. One thing that really did surprise me though - no sandblaster and no paint. It just sorta seems like if he could make it LOOK brand new, it would be a good thing. Most customers don't appreciate something working well unless it also looks shiny.


He said at the end that he doesn't do paint. It's going to another shop for that, which almost certainly means it's all going to get taken apart and later reassembled.


That was an interesting project. All sorts of different procedures. I
can honestly say I've seen few people actually using a file correctly.
Kudos to him for that. BUT, I thought "draw filing" was drawing it
toward you. Most definitions online tell you to ruin your file by
pushing and pulling it at 90 degrees to the work. That's fine one way
but dulls it the other. What's youse guys' definition of draw filing?

Despite the truth the neglecting the machine, I think Keith may
regret saying that on the videos down the line.

P.S: I'm waiting to see pieces of those silly beads and his beard
caught in his chuck one of these days.
