I love Tubalcain sarcasm. "all you need is $5000 worth of tools and you can make a $15 part and save money" . I am pretty sure I am guilty of that myself.

I've never commented before, after watching you for 2+ years but your videos inspire much more than I think you know. You remind me so much of my grandfather and you shouldn't apologise for little mistakes you make as like him you've forgot much more than most of us young guys know. The internet is a brilliant thing but also a magnet for "know all's". When he died I found it hard to get back into the shop and watching you helped and made me remember what I was missing and for that I thank you. Keep up the great videos. Thanks from the UK

Interesting how the knurling cleans up the stock ,great rust removal method! I was just about to buy a wiggler set you've saved me £16 and justified the existance of my machine shop. I remember reading something years ago where a guy made a washer on his £1000 lathe, his wife commented that the washer cost £1000 to produce, then the guy said if he made another then they're only £500 each! Superb tutorial as always, thank you.

Dear Lyle, I am 70 years old and on retirement from accounting and needing an interest, I decided to go to technical college to learn fitting and turning. I have bought my own 10" lathe and am waiting for it to be delivered. I discovered your KZitem videos and whilst I can't pretend to have watched them all (yet) I have found them of the utmost interest. Your knowledge is remarkable, but more so is your ability to present enjoyable and entertaining teaching which is greatly appreciated. I love your work, sir, and commend you.

I've had a Craftsman wiggler set in my toolbox for 25 years. I never once thought to use it for anything because I've always just used an edge finder. But after watching this, I decided to use it just to say I did. I discovered an advantage over the edge finder, which is obvious in your video. I don't need to tie up two toolholders to keep an edge finder and a pointer chucked up; I can use the wiggler for both.

mrpete - Regarding Sharpies. I worked as a contractor for NASA - Sharpies are approved for marking of space flight hardware that will see the vacuum of space. They had to study this in a Vacuum chamber and look at the amount of outgasing to approve its use. So another reason to use a sharpie - Good if you become an astronaut!

Another way to use the wiggler (pointer) is to punch a dimple and then put the wiggler in the dimple. turn on the machine and lift the quill. Adjust the position of the work until the wiggler runs true after pulling up from being in the dimple. This was a poor method of writing but hopefully you get the idea. I use it a lot to get my work dead center under the quill.

Thanks to you I was able to take it apart, and find a new gear on eBay for $ 100-. Note to self and others-- make sure you know which direction your going before engaging feed screw and leave a little fudge room in case you are wrong. It sure would be nice to have a shear pin in that lead screw. Thanks again.

That's a fine wiggler Mr. Pete : ) One of my senior shop projects was on a little jig bore and required using the wiggler ball with the thinnest smear of prussian blue on the ball to see when it made contact with the edge of the part. The prussian blue use was a sneaky blindsided trick that we hadn't been taught....I was wondering if you had a similar trick.
