Trolling the youtube tonight for a camera revue, when this popped up. It is a guy called the recreational machinist.

He makes all sorts of things & this one is him making a centre finder attachment for a dti gauge. No bull approach just his commentary as he does it. I am an absolute amateur & even though I do not need what he is making it was very educational to watch. Even if there are things being made that you do not want, you get an education just by seeing it being made.

Regards all.

Steve.

Nice recommendation, straight to point without all the dithering so many ytoutubers seem to do.

I'd definitely watch more from him.

Thanks.

Informative video and straight to the point without listening to someone who likes the sound of their own voice. The video has also been edited to take out unwanted frames and keep it short. (I normally switch off long winded posts and never watch them to the end)

Who is this guy. He seems to be very clever with a lathe & milling machine.
