A bit of tool'ception to close out the year! This one will make an appearance in the dial indicator project and I expect in several other projects too.

Hello mate, I don't have a Sherline mill, just the SX3 - Cheers :)
Ralph McCoy
Chris. did you use your Sherline mill to to the boring. Because that one does not look like a Sherline. cheers :)
Clickspring
https://www.sherline.com/product/ww-collet-adapter - Cheers :)
Ralph McCoy
Thank you cheers
Ralph McCoy
cheers
Ralph McCoy
Chris do you have a part number for the adapter sleeve from Sherline
Clickspring
Thank you mate - Sherline make a distinction between "8mm" and "WW" when talking about collets; they do accomodate what they call 8mm, but its more from a compatibility perspective. You can find more detail on their site on this page: https://www.sherline.com/product/11611163-ww-8mm-collet-adapter-and-drawbar/?attribute_options=WW+%28.312-.313%29#description. Their native standard is what they call WW, that is sized to work with their WW adapter in their spindles. You can get the WW blank here: https://www.sherline.com/product/2083-ww-collet-with-1-blank/#description - Cheers :)
Borislav
I could not find any 8mm collet blanks on Sherline's website... Was that one you made yourself? Beautiful video :)
Clickspring
Hi Richard, I generally use EN8 for small screws - Cheers :)
Richard Carl Haass
Chris, sure this has been asked before, but what kind of steal do you normally use for your screws.
Clickspring
Cheers mate :)
Clickspring
Merry Christmas mate! I use all of the stock music services eg premium beat, audio jungle etc - Cheers :)
PeetieGonzalez
What an enjoyable video. Such attention to detail and a great result!
Brandon
Merry Christmas, Chris! Always a treat to watch a master at work! And I've been meaning to ask for a while now, where do you get your music for your videos? The tunes are always on point!
Clickspring
Merry Christmas Robert!
Clickspring
Cheers Grant!
Clickspring
Merry Christmas to you & family John, looking forward to next year :)
Clickspring
Thank you Graeme!
Robert
It's great to see such much attention to detail even when you're “just” building a tool for the shop. Merry Christmas!
Grant Hullinger
Even your fixtures are a work of art! Really enjoyed this one, Chris. Thank you!
John S Dilsaver
Chris, Merry Christmas, and thanks for another wonderful video.
Graeme Brumfitt
Thanks for posting Chris, some licious work there! GB :)
Clickspring
Cheers Kent!
Kent Slaymaker
As always, I just get sucked right in. Thanks for the great video, excited to see how it ends up!
Clickspring
Thanks Kevin, very much appreciate your continued support :)
Clickspring
Its an excellent little saw, works well for what I need it to do - Happy Christmas to you too mate :)
Kevin Reardon
Fantastic as usual. I'm glad to still be supporting you for this level of media. I still do love the accent. Makes me realize why girls dig it .
Philip Oestreich
I love your attention to detail. I was looking in the video to see what your new bandsaw is, and then found your list in the video notes! Duh, I knew I should have looked there first! Fantastic video as always. Looking forward to the next videos on all your current projects. Happy Christmas!
Clickspring
Thanks Mike, Merry Christmas!
Mike Michelizzi
Beautifully done as usual, I'm looking forward to seeing how you make the clamps. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Clickspring
I never stop thinking about watch design!
Clickspring
Theres usually several ways to get to the finish line, and each have their merits depending on the shop, tools and operator. It generally comes down to cutting tool availability and cost - a 17mm reamer is an expensive cutting tool to purchase for a one-off project, whereas the boring head gives a very similar result and can span a wide range - Cheers mate :)
Dan Parisian
Why did you chose to use a boring bar to open up the 3 holes? I would have thought a reamer would be a better choice.

With all the amazing machine-work you do, I tend to forget you’re a watchmaker. You’ve probably been asked before, but have you given thought to designing and building your own watch, with—dare I ask—a tourbillon?
Clickspring
Cheers Jeffrey!
Jeffrey Britton
Great work, extremely well presented. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks!
Clickspring
Thank you Bruce - yes full time on the videos now, happily so - Cheers :)
Clickspring
I really like the philosophy behind https://openmovement.org/ anything that gets more people onto tools, learning, making, sharing what they know is a good thing - Cheers mate :)
Clickspring
Cheers mate :)
bruce linde
so pleasurable to watch the thinking and matching of a true artist at work... my only complaint is the disappointment when i realize that a video has ended and i'll have to wait for the next one... but then there's something to look forward to! question: are you still working as a vocational trainer or has 'clickspring' become your full-time thing?
Anance
Ooo, do I smell some more watchmaking projects? Not to add more crazy projects to your plate, but earlier in the year I saw there was a "Open Source" Watch Movement called the OM10 that the file could freely be downloaded...I was tempted to try my hand at it so this video came at the best time!
David Wheelen
I love it, mustachioed and surprised :D
Clickspring
Merry Christmas to you too mate!
Eric Greenberg
Thanks Chris, appreciate all the effort you put into our entertainment. Merry Christmas!
Clickspring
Thanks Chris :)
Clickspring
Cheers mate!
Clickspring
And to you mate :)
chris grainge
Holy hell... that is beautiful...
Boguslaw Smalec
Great Christmas gift!
Maarten Daalder
Christmas is early this year! Happy holidays!
