[ronnieamigo000]

[quadcatfly]

This is what real economy looks like. FUCK THE BANKS !

[borlics]

Why the hell does anyone care about his safety practices?

And why is there so much negative talk then "Good Work There"?

Its his eyes and body parts.

So Awesome work John! I think its even more badass that you don't wear glasses.

[villageeskimo]

Obviously his employer doesn’t believe his skill is all awesome or Johnny thinks he can do that with his eyes closed and one arm tied behind his back. Nope can’t happen to me; ya that’s what I said; now I’ve learned to type with no left THUMB

By the way I am also a metallurgist and there are a thousand-and-one things that can go wrong during the manufacture of any metals.

Obviously Johnny is not the brightest light in the room

[FrankaDith]

Hope they pay you well for hard work like that ,anything less than 25 an hour they,re robing you!

[heateslier]

[Cromwell111]

[BARRON120]

Nice work there. Lost the gloves and ge a pair of goggles. ;)

[miki87]

you need cnc machines man...We have worked on such machines 100 years ago in europe!

[hydrogenix]

@miki87 it seems that u have no idea of what are you talking about. There is no CNC machine to do that job. Lolster.

[Jamie060286]

@hydrogenix you can get CNC spinning machines they are extremely effective at what they do.

[fragmented100]

amazing!



[woolie1965]

Nice Job!

[20JGP10]

Anyone notice NO GLASSES! Come on bro, eyes are eggshell to steal. Beautiful talent . Godbless GB

[Films4You]

@20JGP10 Yes, next time no eyesight

[Misterunnamed]

@20JGP10

Not to mention the long sleeves. That's an unwanted amputation just waiting to happen...and that's if he's lucky.

[captureyourday]

craftsman... nice. Only thing that I would suggest then is safety glasses and do your cuffs up. Also split your gloves at the top from your fingers back to your wrist and hold em closed with some eleco tape or velcro (just the hooks, as they will stick to that material) that way if they do get caught you only loose the glove. But that is great work.

[BARRON120]

@captureyourday this commend needs a video. xD

[HelpMeAtPc]

so you always need to take it off by hand ?

[honeybunchickens]

Can you do that with stainless steel to? 

[lukebritcher]

@honeybunchickens up 2 about 16 gage by hand. it gets to hard the more you work with it and wants to crack

[Serostern]

@honeybunchickens You can do that with pretty much any malluable metal, gold, silver, aluminium, stainless, lead...

[staM034]

amazing...



[MikkoMuhis]

I would not do that job with gloves on my hands, not anymore..

Years ago the machine ate my glove and whole arm into it. The glove got totally destroyed and sleeve of work suite got split in two.

Luckily I didn't get hurt, just hurted a tiny and one finger got swelled for couple hours.

[AlienRelics]

@MikkoMuhis Isn't it better it ate your glove, rather than having it pull off a few fingers and pull the skin off of your hand?

It just sounds a bit like saying you won't wear a helmet anymore because you wrecked your bike and the helmet got broken.

[Rogue7892]

@AlienRelics a cut on your hand from not wearing gloves is preferable to losing your hand because you had gloves on

[herrseppl]

@MikkoMuhis gloves are dangarous...but you can cut easily without them...

[Getier2k]

looking intresting ... but its dangerrous o.o

[toadabc]

@Getier2k Dangerous, compaired to what? Driving a car on the freeway? A kid climbing a tree? Working in a quick stop store at night? Life is dangerous. 

[ChrisBowlas]

What was the lubricant used?

[AlienRelics]

@ChrisBowlas Looks almost like beeswax.

[Bretzelbueb]

Good Work! Greetings from a Metalspinner of Switzerland.

[deimos2k6]

wow I admire handworks like that

[chainsawz]

1:40 guy looks like hes dancing

[ChrisBowlas]

@chainsawz

Yes, it is a sort of a dance - everyone who turns or spins metal by hand learns to move their body as well as their arms and hands to get the desired result. I do a similar "dance" when I am turning compound curves in wood, holding the tool loosely on the tool rest with my left hand and manipulating the shape being swept with my right hand and with the way I sway my body.

[lack10548]

thanks 4 ur comment guys that,s show me how much u really appreciate the hard work that i am doing.

[rubybiker]

Very nice work.

[turtlemann14]

that is neat, have never seen that done before

is that a wood lathe with a different tool post on it?

[GraveZero00]

cool

[stefanmckinley]

is that aluminum?

[SirFelix377]

great work. true craftsman!

[RideBmxFitBikCo]

@SirFelix377 a TRUE craftsman know's whats safe and not wearing safety protection glasses isnt a real smart thing..

[fillerupagain]

Thats pretty sweet! I love seeing how someone does that manually. Looks like alot of fixtures in the back. How many different parts do you guys make?
