Having on some forums mentioned earlier in the year that I would take a break from issuing further videos the pause has made me realise that it has come to the time to retire. However, the videos that I had already completed and intended to issue two at a time, I have now made them all public...

I have made two more videos available showing my grinding rests in use. They are for Slitting Saws and Dovetail Cutters. Links to them can be found here, http://www.homews.co.uk/page224.html If you have bookmarked the page having links to my grinding rest videos, note that the links have been...

To see my videos showing an end mill being sharpened using my grinding rests, visit this page for a link to them, http://www.homews.co.uk/page145.html Even if you do not have, or intend to make, one of my rests, you may find the videos of interest. However, for an alternative method of...

Whilst it was my intention to publish one video a week, I have decided that I would like to bring the process to an earlier conclusion. Primarily so that I can spend the summer without the need to spend time updating my website for each one, and advertising the video on around 15 forum...

Regarding my videos we now come to what I think are the most important for many as they show my grinding rests being used for sharpening workshop tools. I say important, as it has become apparent that some have made one but are not fully sure how to use them. This is not unreasonable, as I...

My video this week is for a small boring head which I made to suit my lathe milling head ( http://www.homews.co.uk/page158.html ) It should also be suitable for any of the small milling machines, for which to my knowledge, there are few, if any, suitable commercial heads. A link to the video...

The video I am making public this week is a back stop for the lathe. Whilst one of the lesser used lathe accessories I find it invaluable for the occasional project, often making a task easier, or more accurate, especially when identical parts are being made. A link to the video can be found...

You are correct BugBear it was rather an exaggeration. I did though give the link a mention in one of my earlier posts on the forum. However, as I have links to over 30 forum and are presently working with 17, I do tend to standardise my comments without thought. Harold

When drilling a part, supported by parallels in the drilling machine vice it is probable that, like me, you have had the problem of keeping the parallels away from the drill as the drill breaks through. The device in this video virtually eliminates the problem, except if any part of a holes...

I have recently been adding metal working videos to YouTube to backup articles on my website. For a very small number of forums I have posted a thread for each one as I made it public. However, with over 30 forum having links to my website it has been quite impossible to do this for every...

As has been said, these fluteless taps are particularly good for tapping holes in thin material. I do though use them for deeper holes where the benefit is that due to no swarf being produced the screws used in them just float in. An important point to take note of is that due to the hole...

If you wish to know a little, or a lot, about Boley lathes there is plenty of info on the Lathes website. This website is a major source of details for old and not so old machines. It is very well known but I do not see it getting a mention on this thread. To find it go to Google and put in...

Thanks WoodPig for the comments about my grinding rest. I am in the process of producing metalworking videos with 16 already published. I will publish the address for these once I have met the requirements of this forum. I do have 10 still to make public of which 6 shows the rest being used for...
