Hello everyone, I need your help today. I noticed the video uploaded yesterday is noticebly darker than expected. What's your opinion about that?

Hello everyone. Some of you have been requesting plans of the spring part-off tool holder and I want to address that.
I don't feel it would be nice of me making plans for this specific tool, since the original plans made by Winky's Workshop are available and linked in my video.
However, I understand you might want to follow my take to make a similar tool and would be nice to know some details to ensure the tool works as expected in the end. For that reason, here are some measurements for you. I trust that by following the video and knowing the measurements, you'll be able to replicate the tool.
1. Block dimensions: 80x56x29mm
2. Tool post fitting: AXA
3. Blade angle: 5º (or other that works for you)
4. Blade slot depth: 3mm
5. Blade clamp screws: M5 x 25mm (4 screws distributed evenly)
6. Blade clamp screws position: 6.5mm from the edge/side (confirm if it does not break through the blade slot).
7. Slot front/back - position: middle
8. Slot front/back - width: ~ 0.65mm (saw blade)
9. Slot front/back - depth: 41mm from the bottom, leaving 13mm of the top solid
10. Blade clamp: slit at the middle of the blade slot (or better, closer to the bottom)
11. Blade clamp trap angle: 60º
12. Blade clamp adjustment: mill it so that the blade fits with no play in the slot. Then mill down 1mm step on the main part so that the blade clamps effectively.
13. Front chamfer (cut visibility): 25º
14. Hole (flexing) diameter: 12mm
15. Hole (flexing) center location: 18mm from front and top edges
16. Hole (flexing) depth: until the front/back separation slot is reached
17. Slot top/bottom: 18mm from the top (should align with the middle of the "flexing hole")
18. Height adjuster: M8x1.25 - 10mm deep (do not drill through the slot)
19. Flex limiting screw: M5 x 20mm
20. Flex limiting screw location: 6mm from each edge
21. You do not need to make the tap breaking step
Have fun!

Been working on a new ball turner all day! ... now, where are my carbide drills?

Needed a round parallel for the next project. Quickest and reusable option was to drill and tap my 3 jaw chuck (as per Joe Pie).
I've never used this chuck before, so it's good to find some use for it. 0.01mm parallelism done on a hurry - 4140 (80mm O.D., 4mm thick).

A very special thanks to everyone subscribing the channel - we are now 1000!
It's been great having you guys returning and exchanging ideas and experiences in the comments. Thanks for that!
I hope to keep you entertained in the future so that one day we get the remaining tyre to get the car going.
Next episode we'll be making a small tool that will have a key role in the (bigger) upcoming project. See you there!

I was a little kid when my dad got a collection of early eighties remote control cars. I used to hide under my bed with a screwdriver and take them apart to fix them... because, you know, they had no batteries.
Looking back, I've been doing that to whatever crossed my way for a long time - except that 'under the bed' thing... I don't do that anymore - and I'm finally starting to get a grasp on how some things work and actually get them fixed.
This channel was created to share some of those challenges with you.
