MACHINING SMALL METAL PARTS IS NOT EASY FOR BEGINNERS @keithappleton

Machining Small Metal Parts Is Not Easy For Beginners. Machining very small pieces of metal can be difficult. In this video I am making a new Valve Rocker Shaft for a Stuart "Grasshopper Beam Engine" to replace the previous one which as you can see is broken. I machine the ends of the piece of bar down to 1/8th of an inch. patreon.com/keithappleton
