Home Shop Machinists Podcast

To confirm that we indeed are back to recording semi regularly here is another episode!  We would like to specifically thank Stefan for our very on topic podcast title!  Also many thanks to Magnus / Philter for the very brief soundbite intro (track was Sunrise from Queen of Crows).  Checkout Philter’s latest album here: https://Philter.no

Just a few of things we talk about (in no particular order):

All that and much more for another 2+ hour episode!

Many things have happened since we last published a podcast.  Not only has a year almost gone by, but now there are many more machining related podcasts than ever before.  We would like to remind everyone that we are the first and also the worst!  And the bad news is we are back and we hope to publish more regularly going forward.

This episode is mostly shop updates and us bantering Top Gear style about what we have been up to.

Stefan wanted us all to have a look at this thread on PM:

In this episode learn that Pretzel sticks are universal and one of the snacks that perhaps we home shop machinists can use to break down modern day barriers.  Or maybe join Max and have some good old fashion Americana Ritz crackers and join the 3 of us talk about CAD – a subject that we could did talk about for hours.

No the podcast is not dead!  After a very large pause (for various reasons – a story for another day) the podcast is back with an episode recorded way back in September.  Nevertheless the conversation is timeless and just as applicable today as it was when it was recorded.  In this episode John Saunders, the man who went from a humble machine shop apartment in New York City to a full fledged machine shop in Ohio, joins us and talks shop.  Some of the things we talk about include:

It’s been a long time since we have posted an episode and that has been my (Justin’s) fault.  I won’t go into the details but I wanted to let everyone know that the podcast will continue in the near future.  In the meantime I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy 2019 home shop machinists style.  Stay tuned!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,

The machine tools were cleaned, and oiled in their place,

When out in the shop there arose such a chatter,

Some light on the now freshly wrecked homemade tool

With a little old wrench used lively and quick,

“Now Hardinge, now Wrong Fu, now Deckel, and Myford!

And then, in a twinkling, I heard “this will not do”

He was soon covered in Canode from his head to his foot,

A wink of his eye and a scrape by his hand,

Soon the Deckel was done, everything adjusted up right,

I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,

2 episodes in one month!  We can’t believe it either.  Don’t worry though we didn’t cut on quantity to get it out – this episode is still over 2 hours.  We won’t talk about the quality.  Max, Stefan and Justin give shop updates (it has been about 4 months since Stefan has been on – that’s long enough for Stefan to build an entire Saturn V rocket in his basement).  After that we talk about making money in the home $hop – when your hobby turns into a business.  And no we aren’t the Business of Machining Podcast.  In between the weirdness:

After a one month hiatus due to a number of reasons (typical of home shop machining), Max and Justin are joined by the King of 16″ South Bend lathes: Tom Utley.  But nobody in the hobby calls him that.  He is King Tutley.  Tom, an engineer by day, is best know in this hobby for his time (over the last 3 years!) and dedication in taking a clapped out  second world war 16″ South Bend lathe and returning it to better than new condition.  Some of the interesting topics:

If you are just starting out in your home shop or need a few ideas for your next project you will certainly find it in this episode.  After getting through the craft beer podcast and shop updates, which involve Max getting a tow, Max and Justin talk about useful simple shop tools as well as Tchotchkes and probably everything in between (don’t tell us you’re surprised!).  In the process both Max and Justin have extended their shop project lists.  You could even make a really nice homemade brake line flaring tool (we won’t talk about liability):
