Some might be interested in watching this, others will tell me I am doing it all wrong I expect.

Nice! Really cool stuff.

Maybe some music or something? My ears were ringing from the confusion between the sounds I expected to hear, and the reality of utter silence.

Very cool Chris!

One question, where'd you get that fancy indicator you have mounted to the tailstock?

Nice lathe dude !!!

[oklahoma red]

Very nice. Do make some more with a regular camera.
Also very nice lathe. Myford Super 7? What year?
I'd give up a gonad to get my hands on one but they are quite rare on this side of the pond.
I'm curious as to the current status of Myford. Did they get run out of business by the commies like all the US lathe manufacturers?

It was like watching golf on a lazy Saturday, but it didn't give me enough time to fall asleep.
Your skills are evident, but you ain't no Hitchcock or Scorese!

Machinist's rule: never stick an appendage in a spinning hole unless you're willing to lose that appendage.

What is wrong with golf?

Great video, but I agree that commentary is what will make it. From the videos I have seen, it's always about the commentary, the insights which you pass on, that is what makes the videos so great to watch and learn from.

I too have lathe jealousy, especially watching you so easily turn the shank.

Very cool Chris!!

I'll echo here and say that was a great video. I agree with everyone else here that some commentary or music or just the sound of the tools would be greatly appreciated.
