Jailbreak!

It's been long enough. While my first puzzle over a year ago was a success... it was also incredibly underwhelming in a lot of ways. Namely how easy it was to solve once you knew the solution. Just didn't tickle my fancy. This time is different. Not only did I set out to make a puzzle that&#...

The Dos, Don'ts and If You Dares

Sorry for the delay! This week I'm taking on another one of those race car parts that should really be reserved for a CNC. But I like a good challenge. And somewhere the lathe got involved... maybe challenge isn't the right word for it 0_oEnjoy!(video link)

Only Idiots Do Things Once

Armed with a little more knowledge and a lot more fire power I'm determined to get the lead screw right. And as expected, despite being a repeat project, it went completely... unexpectedly. 🙃Enjoy!(video link)

I made a Heat Treat Furnace!

Yup... this one's been a long time coming. But it finally happened. I made a heat treat furnace... and it's AWESOME. This project kicked my ass so give props to my wife for pulling this video right out of thin air. I couldn't do this without her!P.S. I apologize for absence as of late, s...

So a lathe walks into a bar... test

What was the first thing I did when getting the free lathe? Measure how good it was. What was the second thing did? Pretend like that never happened. But not anymore. The time for a definitive test of the lathes performance has arrived... with a good old fashioned bar test. Not to be confused with ...

My lathe has been keeping a secret...

So I'm finally doing it. After 10 months I'm finally addressing the spindle play in the free lathe... And I could hardly believe what I found. Any guesses? The thumbnail is a good hint.Also curious to hear what you guys think of this different format? Thanks as always for the support!Enjoy!(...

When The Screw... Screws You!

I knew there was a reason I've been avoiding hardening my parts. But that doesn't mean I'm going down without a fight. We WILL find a way!Enjoy!(video link)

A CUT Above the Rest

A whole lot going on in this video and honestly if you go by pure part count, this might be the most yet. Milling, Lathing, Grinding, Eureka-ing and Wifing. What more could one ask for?Enjoy!(video link)

This Tool Makes a VERY Important Shape

Where's the best place to pick up? Where you left off of course. Just because I got a little sidetracked by a little cross country road trip last video doesn't mean I've forgotten Yee Olde Eureka tool. So let's finish it off. And maybe we'll even demonstrate the beautiful movemen...

Saving a Machine the World Forgot

I know... I know.... this isn't part 2 of the Eureka build but it's worth it I swear! Got an offer I couldn't refuse so had to make haste to save a piece of machining history!Enjoy!(video link)This will be relevant after you watch the video, so here is the link to get your own #ChamferIt...

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone!A patron named Erik put his multicolor 3D printer to working making a ton of these awesome keychains. So many in fact that I don't know what to do with them. So I'm giving them away to you for free! We have a nice "IM" square with some delicious chamfers and corner round...

Half of a Great Idea

How have I managed to avoid this core component of a machinists’ repertoire for so long? The time has come… for gears. But I like making tools a lot more than I like making not tools. So before I can make any gear, naturally, I need to make the gear cutter. Which requires making a few other tool...

A Wooden Box... But Make it Metal

Hey Everyone!Shout out to Rowan @noengineerherefor finally overflowing my shame capacity of the Box of Shame with your fanmail. The box said, “Yum!” Now, to make room for some more of my future foibles… Let’s make a bigger box!(Video Link)

Off Week Update

Hey Everyone!Firstly I want to say thank you all for the feedback in the latest product poll! You all have a lot of great ideas that got me thinking about what is actually possible with the channel, its future, and making machining more accessible to everyone. This was INVALUABLE!Also, just to clari...

I need your brain.

When I started Inheritance Machining over two years ago, I wanted to do something that would let me spend more time in my shop. Along the way I've tried to create videos that make machining interesting, accessible, and honestly cool.To everyone who has followed me and watched my videos so far, t...

Do you even GRIND, Bro?

Hey everyone!The lathe has been glaring at me for 4 months, it’s time to put it to work. And by "it", I mean me. Which, as you might expect, never goes quickly. And while I can’t promise a super satisfying reveal, can I tempt you with a negative side project total? Who would have believe...

One Step Forward, One Step Back

Hey Everyone!From my previous post, and the subject of the next video, got the new internal spindle mounted on the tool post grinder! Sure saved a butt load of work not having to making my own. But not everything went smoothly (does it ever?). I seem to find myself playing "electrician" way ...

The Cube With ONLY One Side

Hey Everyone! Decided I couldn't resist breaking away from the usual tool builds to make something just for fun; and for all intents and purposes useless. Unless of course you include the lessons I learned along the way. I'll just say, springs are bloody hard to machine....Enjoy!

(DOWNLOAD) Mobius Cube

Hello Micrometer Patrons!Attached are the 3d model (.step and .f3d) for the mobius cube project as well as the drawings I used that were helpful during the build.No hardware needed for this one, just a hunk of metal a little larger than 3" cubed. Unless of course you plan to 3D print. Then I&#39...

Off Week Update... Number 2!

Hey Everyone!A little late to the draw on this one but I thought I would update anyway. The next video's project is wrapped up and edited. And it was WAY more than I thought I was getting myself into. Both mentally and financially. The "consumables" budget was through the roof on this on...

Shop Update

Hey Everyone! No video this week so I thought I would give you a little update on what's been going on.BTW if you like this sort of thing for off weeks/between videos let me know in the comments!I ended up using basically all of the precious time between videos to finish up the second upright fo...

GRINDING On All Cylinders

In all of my projects there has been one major limitation I have yet to overcome. Precision cylindrical grinding. It's prevented me from hardening my parts which really should be hardened. And has resulted in some of my tooling coming out.... less than stellar. But that all changes today!Enjoy!(...

I Raced a $600,000 CNC Machine

I got the opportunity to support my alma mater's Formula SAE (Formula Student) team again this year and when presented with what parts they needed, couldn't resist jumping at the hardest one! And as if the stakes weren't high enough already, I challenged my friend Craig to a race. Where ...

WANTED: Dead or a LIVE CENTER

Being that the new lathe is quite a bit smaller than my grandfather's, I'm missing a few of the essential bits of tooling I'll need to make it useable. Sure there are issues with the lathe to address still, but never mind that. I'm going to need a live center eventually and of course...
