Some Machining Links
By: Stoker Date: April 2, 2024, 9:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
We should have a thread on this board that has links to some of
the many resource sites for learning about materials, machines
and machining techniques, tips and tricks.
So, I'll start it off with one of my all-time favorites, from a
fellow that used to be a regular with us in the much earlier
Steam Forum World, though he disappeared from our fellowship
some years ago, but who has created many wonderful projects, and
shared them in a way that all could learn from. Some of the
projects were steam engine builds, and some of them were for
building accessories for our machine tools.
Having learned much from him my-own-self, and having
successfully built from a couple of his tutorials, I will
recommend Dean Williams and his website to you all:

Tubalcain should be a good follow up for wide spectrum info:
Here's his YouTube playlist:
(HTM) https://www.youtube.com/@mrpete222
(HTM) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBC69869E8CB708F2
If you click on "Watch on YouTube" in the lower left corner of
the video image before you start the video, you will start that
#1 video, but also have #1 - #99 listed just to the right of the
YouTube screen.
A whole lot of amazing information to be learned here!

Tubalcain on Youtube (mrpete222) is Lyle Peterson of Streator,
Illinois. Retired shop teacher, still kicking and producing
videos. He was one of the very first YouTubers that provided
information on home shop techniques and has a tremendous catalog
of videos.
Tubal Cain the author is the pseudonym of Tom Walshaw of
England. He was a prolific writer of articles for the English
magazine Model Engineer back in the seventies and eighties, many
of which were compiled into books along with other new material.
He died in 1998.

By the way, Dean is still with us as he's a moderator and posts
regularly over at:
www.colemancollectorsforum.com
Occasionally he'll make a piece for one of the lantern fellows.

Yes, I was pretty sure he was still around, I just didn't know
where he was hanging out these days. Thanks for updating me!

In any of these threads, if you are mentioning some source for
anything related,
Please do include the link,
preferably as a separate stand-alone line, so that it can be
easily seen and clicked on.
Thanks!!!

It seems that Bruce (St. Paul Steam) has been watching a
machinist tech video series on YouTube called "blondihacks", so
I checked it out myself and it seems very good based on the
couple of episodes I watched.
Certainly, well worth linking here:

Here is a minor listing of some of the many source outlets for
industrial accessories, fasteners, materials and tooling that
may be needed around your home "machine shop"!
I should point out that some of these are monster-big firms with
multi-thousand page catalogs, that are geared to serving
business and industry, so may not be receptive to small orders
by home hobbyists who do not have an account set-up with them.
But perusing the online catalogs of even some of these can be
educational and even helpful in letting you see what is actually
out there, thus helping to locating something you want or need
and perhaps making it possible to find it elsewhere so that you
can make the purchase.
Here are a few online sources:
