A few years ago I got a small lathe, mainly for use in my scale modelling hobby. I started watching KZitem machining videos to learn how to use it, and quickly ended up on your channel. Your Lathe Skills videos were a great introduction. Then I started watching your new videos as they came in, which introduced me to milling and the options it offers. I now have a mill and last week I was able to machine my first part on it. So, thanks for making machining accessible, and for inspiring me.

The fact that I was able to find clear, well shot and concise videos on turning and facing was a miracle and my heart wanted to explode when I realized it was from another STEM female.

I suppose it proves that some very special people can learn and become competently expert at even the most difficult and challenging things without benefit of formal training.

Best wishes in your new digs, be safe as you set things up. Look forward to your consistently high-quality productions as they continue, but take all the time you need; we'll eagerly but patiently await whatever you post. And remind Sprocket that it's a lucky cat indeed that is so well-loved!

Great to hear you have moved close to your family. Your father sounds like a good man and it would be nice to see a father ( if he is still able) /daughter machine shop project. I appreciate that you do not cuss in your videos.

I would like to thank your patrons too Quinni. I guess we all do what we can in our bee hive. Probably I metaphorically just flap my wings (slowly) to keep the air moving. Thanks.

I liked your ethics question and answer. I often get asked to rip off someone else's design and make it cheaper, or most often make it for free. I have had two unique designs stolen from me and sold commercially, so I won't participate in such. In fact, if someone can already buy it but just wants cheap labor, I always suggest they just go buy it.

Looking forward to seeing some titanium action! I had a pretty spectacular titanium fire when I was making a lot of small parts from grade 5 Ti 6Al-4V and didn't clean out the chip tray well enough beforehand. There was a small heap of aluminium shavings soaked in cutting oil sitting out of sight under the ways in the middle of the chip tray. I'd made a fair amount of Ti ribbons when I stopped the feed for a second then tried to restart. The surface work hardened in an instant and white-hot burning ribbons fell into the tray and ignited the oil and the other ribbons. Man, was it BRIGHT. No real harm done other than a coating of white TiO all over the lathe. Sadly, I wasn't filming at the time.

Nice to see you giving us an update on your new adventure. Im glad you mentioend about keeping your exisiting machinery, because that is the size of machine that home hobbiest can relate to, if you go bigger i think you will lose a lot of followers. because the people who tend to have larger and very expensive machines, is more the commercial users, and there are loads of channels that are in that range of machinery. And so that is why i love watching your channel . your machines relate to the size of work that im learning about.

I truly understand moving a long distance to be closer to family. In 2007 we moved halfway across the US to be closer to my wife's family. Ten years we moved back across the US when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer take care of herself. I celebrate your decision to be closer to your family and wish you all the best life has to give.

I love the high ceilings. That's one thing I wish I had in my shop. Incidentally, someone sent me a box of titanium, too. Different person, though, he claims. :)

I've been a fan for awhile, but I've only just started working through your videos in an organized way. You are always so clear and unpretentious. I don't know if you fully realize how empowering you are, and I'm a sixty-something male who is fairly comfortable in a shop. For girls, and women without a mentor, this effect goes off the charts. If you walk down the twist drill aisle in most hardware stores, you see some grotesque creations next to (hopefully) plain twist drills. Clearly most DIYers equate sharpening twist drills with an exceptionally difficult open-heart surgery. But once you get it figured out it's easy and you never really forget. I decided to learn about 30years ago after dulling my 5th #36 twist drill. I figured out that I needed a center punch, a drop of oil and steady moderate pressure to drill, and set down at the bench grinder to sharpen my drills. I sharpened them and picked the worst (not quite symmetrical) to see how far I would get. I drilled all 168 holes in 3/16" mild steel, tapped my threads, and became a true believer. That was 31inches of mild steel. The other four are still in the tool box, ready for action. Understanding this cutting (vs rubbing) action is key to just about everything that happens in the machine shop. Moving a cat is a project in and of itself. My cat family would never give me permission to move, but then I moved closer to my human family 20 years ago, so it is not necessary. Enjoy your new home, and family time. Thanks for what you do! P.S. If ANYONE has made even the slightest progress in teaching welding or the proper use of common shop tools, and especially shop SAFETY to their cat I would be Forever Grateful for your ideas. (Never Give Up!!!!!)

Just a quick note to let you know, I started binge watching your lathe and mill beginner videos about a year ago. I have now purchased a Bridgeport clone and ordered a PM lathe. Thank you for your videos. I’m still setting up my little shop.

Well I'm somehow relieved that you're actually doing this full time now. I was somehow thinking you were still doing software work, *and* finding time to have both really cool hobbies and a moderate sized KZitem channel. Makes me feel less inadequate 😁
