Anyone who makes a very complicated part like that, but doesnt have a bit of fettling to do to finesse the part ain't a proper engineer. The fact that you stated you had to do a wee bit of adjusting to get the perfect fit , just proves you're a real time served engineer, who also knows his machines like the back of his hand. A fantastic job Keith, and I really envy you having your machines- that mill is just about one of the finest ever built in my humble opinion. CNC doesn't get a look in on "Old School"!!!

As a mechanical engineer myself, I am constantly amazed by the ability of past generations of engineers and machinists to visualize concepts and convert those ideas into functional machinery. While I start with ideas in my head and sketch out a few things before modeling up in CAD, I would be lost without 1) my ability to model things up in CAD; 2) rely on simulation packages to check stresses & deflections; 3) most recently, print out little gizmos on 3D printers before committing to metal. That K&T mill and Keith's work -- along with the awesome work on the Tally Ho channel -- are very inspiring.

Just a bit of background; i had but one formal instruction on machining some 60 years ago. I still have my shop manual. I am a woodworker and modeler and do have Sherline lathe and vertical mill (with DRO). Your hybrid shop (older machines but with digitazation upgrades) have been so instructive to me in so many ways. Your presentations have done so much for me. You are a very skilled machinist, teacher and inspiration to me. I am hooked on your channel!

Theres very few honing shops that would ever consider taking this on and it really saddens me to have seen the ignorance displayed here from some of the people who wrote mean spirited comments that haven’t a clue what kind skills this level of machinist work requires let alone the machinery required which you are so fortunate to have.

Technically, a CNC machine does circle interpolate, a series of straight-line movements. Like an Etch A Sketch drawing curves. The Resulting steps are probably smaller than the surface roughness. This is some of the most amazing manual milling I've ever seen. It sure is cool to see how things were done more than 50 years ago.

I have a machinist friend who was always talking in thousandths and with me doing carpentry stuff, measuring in sixteenths is usually enough and 32nds is showing off. So I thought he was showing off until I watched the way a machinist works. You guys really do think in thousandth s and it’s not showing off. Love your videos Keith. Here’s hoping your next 10 years will be as much fun for you as the last 10. And are you still at the museum?

Actually, keeping track of 10ths (ten-thousandths, 1/10000, 0.0001) is fairly common in machining where you have bearing surfaces and press fits, and when you need to pay attention to stack-up errors. You'll often see a machinist use some emery cloth on a lathe part to get it down by just a few tenths, or use surface grinders when needing ultra flat surfaces for mating etc. It's amazing how they often work at such tight tolerances where they need to cool down or heat up a part to get that last n-th of accuracy.
