What Happens When You Procrastinate...

Don’t tell anyone but I might be procrastinating while watching this

I'm appalled by the lack of chamfers on those levelling blocks

Things we didn't know we needed but now must have: an Inheritance Machining blooper reel.

You might want to revisit the painted over ground pin. Its grounding nothing with insulating paint on it.

At the start of my career I did an internship at a small local machine shop. They had a mill vise that was kinda broken, but kinda still worked so they put it off and made do with it. Until I dropped the vice and broke it completely on a thursday morning. The master machinist got really angry and send me home for the weekend. When I came back in on monday morning everything was fixed and worked like it was supposed to. He wasn't even angry anymore, in fact he was kinda glad that my mistake forced him to fix this annoyance once and for all and he did not have to put up with it anymore.

If he slowly replaces every broken piece of his mill with a self-machined piece, is it the same mill? What if you reassemble the old pieces into a new mill? Has he created his own brand new mill? Is the new mill his own design or the design of the original manufacturers? Does the mill create pieces for itself? Mill of Theseus brings up too many philosophical questions.

It's criminally insane that YouTube isn't pushing your videos to more people; One look at the production quality and professionalism of the videos, one would think you've been doing this for ages and already have a million subs. That said, love the content and happy that you chose to share your time and knowledge with us

these videos are perfect way to relax after a long day. i find them oddly satifying because of the precision in these videos and in your projects as well (or something) + you have super relaxing voice!

Maybe it's a small thing, but I appreciate that you make the intro different in every video - I don't want to skip a second. Also, the cleaning is really satisfying.

13:57 I used literally thousands of cable tie mounts during my career (I built & maintained radio studio & transmitter facilities), but I don't think I've ever seen an adhesive mount stay stuck long term. Plan on running a countersunk fastener through those eventually, especially if they're exposed to heat. Epoxy may help replace the VHB adhesive if you have to forgo screws.

Love all the video. The wiring looks awesome. One thing to make it look and function even better would be ferrule connectors on the stranded wires going into the terminal blocks.

Such a pleasant experience watching your videos. I always feel so satisfying afterwards as if I had done something productive myself. Love the behind the scenes at the end. Your wife is amazing.

The control panel on the front of the VFD is removable! Rather than stuffing it inside the box, you can run an extension cable and place it in a more accessible spot - like a 3D printed enclosure with a magnet on the back. :)

Your channel is unique. Thanks for taking your time to show what good machining is.

You can really tell by the descriptive prowess he uses with the improved mill that he's been reading the works of Jessa Dare for a long while

I was impressed that you got more than half way through before you started your first side project! Well done :-)

On your lead in picture, you noted wobbly, noisy, and under powered. Pretty much sums me up!!

I don't know how I stumbled across your channel, but so glad I did. I've been watching since early on and really enjoyed your projects and editing style and it has been a joy to see your growth. Your humor has begun to shine through more and more and I'm here for it. I especially liked the little outtakes at the end. Thanks for being so honest and thoughtful, I hope you continue to have great success in everything you choose to do.

Cracking the faceplate is always the most important step. Glad you didn't skip it!

If there's one thing I learned when ordering cases for stuff like the VFD, it's to go one size up from whatever you think should be fine. That will save you the need to try to cram stuff in and make it work. Another thing you might want to consider is labeling your wires.
