Very nice touch 👍

You have a lathe and you left it alone for MONTHS!?! I didn't know such a thing was possible.

What'd you do with This Old Tony? (Oops, wrong channel.)

Wow, that is some sexy parts right there. I might go making the same on the lathe in the local hackerspace. A small details, isn't that endmill called a center drill?

I'm totally envious - love the ability to turn your own hardware from metal! I'm impressed that you have metalworking skills in addition to electronics. Great job!

See, and here I thought AvE. One day I'll be able to tell my favorite content creators apart by nothing more than a still shot of their gloved hand(s) and some incidental shop background, but that day is not today. XD

A small handful of questions, if you might indulge me Fran... Did you happen to hone this skill by making your own knobs for effects pedals? Do you always do knobs one-at-a-time like this (rather than sizing the whole bar, marking all the boundaries, filing all the bottoms, knurling all the sides, chamfering all the tops, parting everything off)? If so, is there a specific technical reason (like improved rigidity of the piece while it's being worked), or is it just preference?

Stephen Swartz

I think you accidentally referred to your center drill as an end mill at the start of the video. ............ Somebody had to say it 🙄. Love anything with knurling on it. Hope the move is going well.

it's quite relaxing to watch you work. Everything so deliberate and precise. It's sort of like a meditation in metal. Even when it's time to address an unforeseen issue.
