That laser is a game changer when it comes to cleaning parts.

Keith, I am a retired 67 year old electronic/electrician who owns a backhoe and other heavy equipment. Back in Dec 25, I bought a better lathe, $4500 Grizzly G0709, and I found that I learn threading if I chuck up common bolts and then set my lathe up to follow the threads without touching them. The lathe thread settings and gear levers were at first intimidating at first, but doing ghost threading has helped me to get to know my lathe better and build my confidence. Just my little tip. Great job, Keith; I always learn something from you.

I never get bored watching Keith do his magic.

On next weeks video we see Keith rip a phone book in half!

This is where having all the tools comes in handy. The guy who ends up with the most tools wins!

That laser really works almost as well as you'd write it in a sci-fi story. I love living in the future!

Good exercise in basic lathe work. Something every machinist needs to master.

Thanks for the video Keith.  It's coming along!

Excellent episode, thank you.

Keith Rucker, man of steel. (That seems to fit.) Bends iron bars with his bare hands. (Ok, he wore gloves.) Nice job.

Enjoying the project.  Thanks.

I want that laser so bad. I'd just go around looking for rusted junk so I could do magic.

Good morning Keith! Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday Keith! 😊

That four jaw is slick. Great upgrade!

excellent work!

Looks Very Nice.

Awesome Laser Larry is wonderful.  You should use a respirator with it as it vaporizes stuff like old DDT, lead paint.... or use a fan to at least blow the fumes away.

Thank you for sharing. 👍
