Hi Chris, hope all is well! Anxiously awaiting the next video on this series!

Sotirios Mitsis

I am also wondering about that, would love to see this completed

Hi Chris. Did you ever get around to completing this build? Would love to see the finished result!

Great to have you on board Kyle - Time permitting, I may do a short run of these at the end of the project, but I'm not really set up for production work at present - Cheers :)

Cheers PJ!

Hello, i am late to the party, but so glad i looked at your content after the origins video from This Old Tony. Ive been watching your content on repeat all day. Absolutely fascinated and love everything im learning from you. I've been wanting to learn how to make dial indicators/test indicators for a while now, imagine my child like excited face when i seen these videos. I cant wait to try my own hand at making one, but it might be a while before i can acquire the tools needed. So in the meantime, i was wondering if you had any of your hand made dial indicators for sale?

Exemplary videography and your overlays are a wonder to the eyes and mind. Still giggle with them. Amazing precision and finish on a critical part. I take it you won't heat treat the O1 to maintain stable dimensions. Always a treat for the eyes and mind, Chris. Thanks Much!

Thanks Joe :)

Ha ha! Cheers mate :)

As a woodturner who works with large lathes and toolrests made from 1" bar stock a foot long, seeing the wee little rest for your graver at 2:30 put a big smile on my face. Wonderful work, as always!

The thing you did at around 7:30 with the overlay of the drawing onto the part is exactly what my brain does when I work in the shop. For a second I was: "wow, how can I have his drawing so well in my mind?!"

Thank you mate, will do!

So pleased to hear that Jim; I use the quill for drilling - Cheers :)

I just love the attention to detail, and this whole series about making tools has just been fascinating to me as a sometimes engineer. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Keep it up!

"And as tempting as it is to put together something quick and easy to maybe try and save some time, it often ends up doing the exact opposite" - Why do I feel attacked here? Great video as always, Chris

Robert Lamacraft

My favourite videos are always the ones that have nice parallels with my work in software engineering; your considerations of when and whether to build a fixture is almost identical to my considerations of whether to record a macro or write a shell script. Fascinates me how similar such different branches of engineering can be.

Hi Chris, really like this video lots of good info, when you are drilling deep holes using the mill do you use the quill feed or Z axis?

Cheers Gary :)

Gary Bodnar

Graeme Brumfitt

Yeah nah YEAH!!! That was a bit of alright was that Chris, great, beautiful and bloody awesome mate. TFS, GB :)

Just the usual, careful moves of the handwheels, slower on the feed for the finishing pass - Cheers :)

Clickspring

A bit chilly over the last few days! Cheers mate :)

Thank you mate!

James Korman

Chris - You didn't mention. How do you maintain the accuracy of the rack teeth?

Brian Lenz

Beautiful work as usual. Thank you for creating this channel and showing us your wonderful creations. Not sure why but this video seemed to be more stunning with your camera work. I hope your winter is going well! Cheers!!!
