Here’s another video I really like because it shows a skilled craftsman doing machining, metal fabrication and welding.  Those are skills that I’m trying to get better at so I’m always interested in seeing how someone with much more experience does it and the tools they use.  This beautifully shot and well

I have about a dozen 4-foot fluorescent shop lights in my basement and garage.  They’re all hanging from chains and plugged into ceiling-mounted electrical outlets that are controlled by wall-mounted switches.  They frequently have to be replaced because the cheap magnetic T12 ballasts in them go bad.  On my last trip to

I really liked the video about Neil Youngberg that I posted a little while ago and I think many of you did too.  This one about Art Dick is similar because it shows another craftsman doing his job and it also has beautiful cinematography.  You almost can’t tell that it’s

This short video shows you how to make a dial indicator stop for a Grizzly G0602 lathe that can be easily adapted to other lathes.  The stop is used with a magnetically mounted dial indicator to very accurately measure depth when drilling or boring.

You may find this video worth watching even

I’m posting this video for a couple of reasons.  First, I often enjoy watching movies from this era and I thought some of you might too.  More importantly, it contains knowledge that is still true and useful more than 70 years later.
