The Good, The Bad and The Oiler.
Added 2019-03-06 08:24:11 +0000 UTCHi Folks,
In the tradition of "A Fistful of Tools" and "For a Few Tools More" comes "The Good, The Bad and The Oiler" - Please Enjoy!
Cheers,
Chris.
ps The actual tool made in the video will be up for auction for the Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.makeawish.org.au). So if you reckon this one belongs on your bench, then be sure to put in a bid and help me raise some money for a terrific organisation. I'll post again later in the week to advise the auction link details.

Comments
At the end of a previous video, you posted a list of sources. Could you send that out again--perhaps make it a "sticky"? Trying to find one of the small tapered reamers, and the taper pins that you use.
Herb Kephart
2019-06-16 19:07:49 +0000 UTCAfter watching that video again, I realized that you didn't make the ruby inserts yourself. I mean, come on, it's just aluminium rust.
MrTridac
2019-04-20 07:54:27 +0000 UTCI feel a bit dull now i see you had it posted the whole time, thank you ill try to read a bit before asking a dumb question next time hah!

Clickspring
2019-03-12 05:56:03 +0000 UTCSo you're saying my go-to lubricating technique of just spraying WD-40 over everything in the vicinity isn't right? My world has been rocked.

2019-03-11 15:27:31 +0000 UTCThat's funny. My sister lives in Encinitas CA. so I looked at that and asked, how can a town be round? But Google saved the joke!

2019-03-10 23:05:30 +0000 UTCIs echidna round?

Clickspring
2019-03-10 21:33:44 +0000 UTCYa' know Chris, we were just discussing why no one posts brass parts in r/machinists. You were the #1 reason why, there is simply no room for competition with this type of content. Keep up the excellent work, we'll stick to grey metals and marveling at each new project.
Jerry Gepes
2019-03-10 15:18:56 +0000 UTCyou're clearly having some fun with editing :) great video as always!!
Josh Maleszewski
2019-03-10 02:01:19 +0000 UTCProbably my favorite video you’ve made for the intro alone, great build as well!
Tristan Sobey
2019-03-08 13:21:48 +0000 UTCThat was AWESOME... Well done.
Richard Thompson
2019-03-08 10:45:50 +0000 UTCOK, if made in Italy that would have been a Spaghetti Western. Being unable to come up with corresponding name, for me is a roo awakening.
Kevin Reardon
2019-03-08 01:28:11 +0000 UTCGday Chris, Love the flow of your oiler, could do that on my wood lathe no probs but will be crapping myself when I try it in metal :) TFS. G :)
Graeme Brumfitt
2019-03-07 17:47:18 +0000 UTCYep! Extremely hard with beautiful rich red tone, often used for furniture. When fresh cut, jarrah is quite workable but when seasoned it becomes so hard that conventional wood-working tools are near useless on it.

Clickspring
2019-03-07 06:57:34 +0000 UTCI am not familiar with that term. Am I correct that it is a kind of hardwood??
John Gentzel
2019-03-07 06:15:40 +0000 UTCAwesome video as usual, I imagine it's on Vimeo to avoid getting a copyright strike? Quick question: 9:07, is that Rodico putty or Blu-tac?
PeetieGonzalez
2019-03-07 05:56:28 +0000 UTCI was going to ask about the reasoning for ruby but I see you've already answered that in the comments above, thanks for that! You seem to just keep setting the bar higher and clearing it without difficulty. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and creativity with us!
Mike Michelizzi
2019-03-07 03:48:54 +0000 UTCUse a bit of good Aussie Jarrah!
Jeff Armstrong
2019-03-07 02:58:10 +0000 UTCWhy the Ruby insert? I mean it looks cool, but is it a necessity or is it tradition? Thanks Chris from chilly Canada!
Michael John
2019-03-07 01:36:13 +0000 UTCA new vid from You and Tony! This almost makes up for the rest of how today went (for the record, .001" thick stainless steel mesh is a living nightmare to work with...) It was nice to watch something go right, and come out so shiny. The way the segments fell slowly together was awesome to watch. Cheers!
Clifton Ballad
2019-03-07 01:27:07 +0000 UTCAerosol solvents are good for penetrating seized bolts, and as a brush-on cutting fluid for aluminium, but that's about the limit for me personally. If the mechanism is designed for oil, then a good quality oil is always the best option - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:50:26 +0000 UTCIt won't surprise you to learn that I've been super paranoid handling this thing since I made it given that its going for auction. You're exactly right - the whole stack can be held from the top and then slowly lets go like a slinky as the air bleeds in. I'm guessing that it will slowly wear in a little more over time, but for now its a fun thing to watch :)
Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:37:22 +0000 UTCYes that would really set it off nicely :)
Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:31:49 +0000 UTCThank you for the info mate, much appreciated - its a beautiful watch, from their 1900 production period. It was my Grandfathers, and is still in exceptionally good condition considering its age. The movement is pristine and the case engraving work is beautiful - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:31:23 +0000 UTCTerrific to hear that mate :)

2019-03-06 20:28:28 +0000 UTCThe song is called "Western Showdown" - Cheers :)

Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:27:10 +0000 UTCRuby is exceptionally hard, so it eliminates any particle contamination from the nibs scraping the inside of the cup - It does look kinda pretty against the brass tho, so there is that too :)
Clickspring

Clickspring
2019-03-06 20:21:05 +0000 UTCHey Chris. Is there any circumstance when a aerosol solvent is more useful than proper oil? Or is using an oil always preferable?
Karolus

2019-03-06 20:15:44 +0000 UTCAnother beautiful piece, I can just see a nice piece of hardwood with a dark stain to hold both items.
John Gentzel
2019-03-06 19:55:32 +0000 UTCHi Chris, Loved your homage to Spaghetti Westerns in your intro and outtro. Also, really liked your Illinois Pocket Watch. I grew up not far from Springfield, IL, USA, the home of the Springfield Watch Company, which became the Springfield Illinois Watch Company, which in turn became the Illinois Watch Company. You probably already know this, but on the off chance you haven't seen it, check out this history: www.railswest.com/time/illinois.html I suspect, but can't prove, that descendents of the early Springfield Watch management team, for which the Bunn Special was named, founded the Bunn / Bunn-O-Matic coffee maker company, also in Springfield, IL. Best regards, Gottfried
Gottfried Schuss
2019-03-06 19:41:28 +0000 UTCThat intro was a thing of wonder. Loved it!
Stefan C Bauer
2019-03-06 18:37:11 +0000 UTCForgot to ask... what’s the title of the intro music?
Bob Topping
2019-03-06 18:27:27 +0000 UTCChris - loved it, as everything you do. I’m trying to get my son to watch these but he’s only 7 so it might be a bit above his level of sitting still. But there will come a time!
Bob Topping
2019-03-06 18:26:02 +0000 UTCGreat video, but there's one thing that's bugging me: why ruby? Is it just decorative, or is there some functional purpose?
Drew B.
2019-03-06 18:12:28 +0000 UTCHi Chris, just joined the other day and binge watched everything in one evening. I sincerely respect your approach to work, and attention to detail, it pushes me to try to do better and take things to the highest quality. It had never occurred to me to make something like this. The mind set of making every tool a work of beauty is a great one. Best of luck to you and your future projects. -Jason

2019-03-06 15:36:38 +0000 UTCGreat Intro!

Gregor Shapiro
2019-03-06 15:21:39 +0000 UTCAnd with such nice fitting pieces I bet the suction would let it get some elevation before being sent tumbling
Sebastian Howe
2019-03-06 14:49:59 +0000 UTCJust have to hope no one absentmindedly picks up the whole thing by the top handle and sends all that precision work tumbling onto the shop floor :P
Sebastian Howe
2019-03-06 14:49:02 +0000 UTCWow, fantastic! It looks like the curves on the Oiler follow the logarithm with a base of Euler's number :)
David Vas
2019-03-06 14:41:49 +0000 UTCThey just keep getting better, how do they get better? Another great video chris. I would definitely knock that over thinking i could lift the whole thing from the top :)
Paul Busby
2019-03-06 14:40:58 +0000 UTCI just watched a video on making a container that holds oil being made......and you made me love it! Take my money and make more!
Aaron Caviness
2019-03-06 14:05:50 +0000 UTCOh man, one of the last shots of the stack being assembled and each part settling in it's perfectly toleranced part... So satisfying! Thanks Chris!
Paul Spirito
2019-03-06 13:33:08 +0000 UTCI love the way this fits together. You are really great at making mundane shop items absolutely beautiful.
Travis Brown
2019-03-06 13:21:39 +0000 UTCGreat design and techniques. The fact you have humour indicates to me that you are enjoying your life in the workshop and have the time to add even more value to your video production. Love Life, Spend time in the Shop!

Clickspring
2019-03-06 10:13:34 +0000 UTCThank you mate - The ruby is used mainly for hardness - it eliminates the risk of particle contamination of the oil from the nibs impacting/scraping the oiler cup. The jewels are fairly affordable, about $15 each from Bergeon (<a href="http://www.ofrei.com/page248.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.ofrei.com/page248.html#30632</a>) Cheers :)

Clickspring
2019-03-06 10:09:24 +0000 UTCI stop everything to watch your videos, but please for the love of accurate clocks stop with the vimeo! Its virtually unplayable for me at any quality. Youtube works fine. Al
Al
2019-03-06 09:58:29 +0000 UTCAn excellent video as always. However, my curiosity compels me to ask, why ruby in particular? It's a non-porous crystal, so I assume its lack of absorption is a benefit, as well as polishing to a surface with good properties for this use, but given the price and work difficulty between it and other materials (e.g. metals, plastics) there must be something really special about it.
Gert Sønderby
2019-03-06 09:53:39 +0000 UTCChris, I just want to say it's obscene how talented you are! A good example (apart from, y'know, everything you've done on YT and patreon so far) is just how close you got the sections to each other. To get that kind of slide down is insanely good and I'm jealous in a good way. So here's a sincere thank you for sharing your talent with us here and I hope that the Auction goes well. I know that if I had the money I'd be placing a bid myself.
Gary Johnson
2019-03-06 09:38:49 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, the way all three pieces just slide together under their own weight is the most satisfying thing I've seen. Today is going to be a good day after that. Amazing work!!
David Sullivan

This Kiwi wants to go to Oz just to meet you. I'd be happy if that was all I did on the trip. Thank you Chris... from the bottom of my heart... thank you. These videos are so well put together and entertaining
