Great work. I enjoyed the video,

thanks BRO

Nice

If you have a lathe, whatever the idiots in charge do, you have the ability to make what you might need.

Nice video celsoari ! Love watching home projects getting machined. What all do you reload with it?

[Isaac]

Very nice! Being able to purchasing a product is nice. However, there is great satisfaction in building something yourself.

Thank you for sharing.

here in Brazil, a press of this type costs around U$1,000.00 to buy... I must have spent about U$90.00 to make it

Awesome video! I wish I had your equipment & skill! Beautiful work!

[MrWolf]

Awesome video! I wish I had your equipment & skill! Beautiful work!

Wow. Very impressive. Keep saying someday I will get a lathe but would take a very long time to have your ingenuity and skill.

What an excellent job - Not just the actually "making", but the thought and planning that goes with it. Availability and cost of materials and a design that can be made with the machinery available all throw up a host of variables.

[CastingFool]

Good job! Goes to show you that where's a will, there's a way.

I guess it might make sense then to buy a bullet swaging press that can also reload ammunition ?

Good design, good work, and a well planned video.

Been a while since I saw a height gage used to scribe lines. :idea:

[ddeck22]

Great work. Very well done video as well, very informative and clear.

[Walter Laich]

nicely done

[Kosh75287]

I need to become a machinist.

[jem102]

WOW! Well done sir...

[celsoari]

I need to become a machinist.

I learned over the years, I was bought the machines and watched many videos on YouTube...today I still consider myself a hobbyist on the subject

Wow! Excellent job! Very impressive.

That is very cool and a well-done video. Thanks for posting that!

It's like planting a tree. The best time to do that is 20 years ago. The next best time is today!

I spent years (34, to be precise) looking for a lathe before I finally found one. Then more years stumbling along trying to learn to use it, and failing miserably. Finally took a class again. Last one was in 1973, senior year of high school. Got a 93212 7x10 from Harbor Freight. You'll hear they are junk, but you'll also see a lot of folks doing some very nice work with them. In my class, I found that all the problems I was having were me, not the mini-lathe. You need to be able to measure accurately, and I wasn't doing so well at that. Started that class in early 2015, about 7 years after I got the HF lathe. Spent a few hours in class measuring gage blocks, and developing the sense of touch to get accurate measurements. Made a huge difference in my ability to make stuff. Later that year, I also got an Atlas TH42 lathe, 10x24 in the convention describing the HF. Also same spindle and tailstock tapers, MT3 and MT2 respectively, so much of the tooling I got for and used on the HF works with the Atlas. I'm now up to five lathes. Traded the HF for a couple of Unimats, an SL1000 and a DB200, essentially the same machines. They can be set up as milling machines or lathes as shipped. I've made some odds and ends, and a couple of milling tables for them, as well. Still have the Atlas, and a Smithy CB-1220XL my brother gave me, and a restorable but not working South Bend Heavy 10L. You can learn most of what you'd need from YouTube videos, if you can get decent accuracy in measuring with calipers and micrometers. Don't wait, start today! ;) There are better and larger machines imported for not a heck of a lot of money, but I'd start with a 7x14 or 7x12 mini-lathe if you're not sure you really want to do this. About $800 or less for either machine, $700 if you get the HF 7x12. You'll have to order it, though the 7x10 is usually in stock at any HF store. Grizzly and Little Machine Shop and Micromark all have decent machines, and the latter two also have a 7x16 lathe, IIRC, or you can get an upgrade kit from the Little Machine Shop. They'll be more than the HF lathes, but if you're fairly serious, might be the way. You can also keep your eye on Craigslist or eBay. I got my Atlas from Craigslist for $750, operating, but not much in the way of tooling. You're not getting any younger! Only way to get better is to get started, and keep practicing!

Very impressive.

[kentfielddude]

Wow, that is really cool.

[dogrunner]

Outstanding!

[lar45]

Very nice work. :)

[j p sixguns welldone]

great job i enjoyed your video thanks

[justindad]

Nice work! Is that a yellow chromate plating? The parts look like steel at the beginning, but brass at the end.

[missionary5155]

Thank you !! Grreat view for a rainy day....

[Dutchman]

I enjoyed watching the video. I liked the music:-).

Hope you continue participating in this forum.

This is what I made at home. It works pretty well and coming up on #400 sold this next week.

I made a similar one from pictures and measurements that I got from a member here!
It took me a week and then I found out that I could have bought one for $125 at the time!
I had previously priced them at $300!
Material cost $25, I thought I did okay!
