Is there a good way to clean the green vinyl drawing mat? Mine is filthy with graphite and it drives me nuts.

I'm a physicist, but when I was 16 I went on a mechatronics apprenticeship, and I remember struggling with drafting and CAD drawings. Now I'm almost in my 30's and I must confess, your video ignited in my the desire to start mechanical drafting as a hobby/therapeutic activity. Thank you, Phill, I'm looking forward to watch the other videos of this series.

I am a die Maker and there's a difference between toolmakers and die makers toolmakers just put it together and sales it a die Maker has to make a work. My longest work day was 37 1/2 hours

180?!? The new ones I’m finding are 300. I’m about to finish my first year as a tool and die maker apprentice. Starting to upgrade all my starter tools.

Sir, what you said is spot on!!! I have never heard it put as accurately as you did. (45 year Diemaker)

I recently signed an apprenticeship contract for tool and die in the state of Wisconsin and it’s crazy to see the hour requirements are basically still the same for all the areas of the shop

YEP!

😡 *promosm*

Batavia graduate in 1989..board designing is a lost art. I still have all my tools and D size mylar sheets that are blank...

Lol, "They're stamping them out over there, folks".........

I remember drawing the brick one in high school. I know it didn't come out well. It's really hard to do.

I'm an architect. I was taught: measure and mark with the scale, draw with the triangle, never use the scale to draw along. changes the scale over time... The triangle is nice and smooth, you can feel the marks along the scale

My Journeyman Mentor told me on the day I started (1980) that he was training the last of the Dinosaurs' . Good explanation of the subject.

When I retire in a few years, one of my projects is to restore my Gerstner Master Craftsmen.

I started my apprenticeship in 68 worked mostly in job shops every tool maker &mold maker did all of their own work with the exception of EDM but we made the electrodes and in several shops did our own EDM i only worked in one shop where they had bench hands polishing that was nice i finally went to part time when i hit 70 spent about half&half die work & mold work at least in most die work i didn't have to deal with graffite its hell without a vacuum system

I'm a retired tool & die maker... 40 years at the helm! Been retired some time now, and l still miss it!

Building my own micro plastic intrusion machine, this video has been awesome, thank you sir!

Thanks for this video. You mentioned that the scale on the surface created tension within the CRS, would the dimensions of the part still change post machining if one were to remove the scale and then bring the part within spec?

Post made an adjustable triangle.it was an amber colored plastic

You could make an oversized, extra long pin for a press fit and sweep in on center. Mill off the extra pin length and then move over -.070 and drill the new hole. The drill won't be able to hunt for the old hole.

It's not only in the "skin" , it is all the way through to the center. The worst case is when you remove material from any lengthwise axis and cut to the center. Like if you mill a 1/4" deep pocket on 1/2" CR it will cup so badly it will be useless.

I want to buy drafting machine, which one I should buy it ?

Another old guy here….worked as a “draftsman” out of high school for a bit. Learned the craft in high school. My handwriting is really printing and when my hands were steadier it remained a point of pride for me. I’ve been casting about for a nice drafting table recently to re-create some elevations of my childhood home. I wish there were somewhere one could get blueprints made. I still have most of my gear,triangles , inking set, pencils , eraser machine,etc.

You can get graduated triangles

i never stop learning new things thanks :)

That steel is not COLD ROLLED - It is Cold Drawn!!! Cold rolling applies to sheet, strip and plate because it's made in a Rolling Mill. Cold Drawn steel is produced by processing a hot rolled bar (round, square, rectangular, trinaguler, hexangluar, octangular and many other shapes) by pickling the hot rolled product, coating it with a drawing lubricant pointing the end, pushing it through a carbide die and then putting the rest of the bar through the die. This process produces close tolerance shapes with good uniformity of cross section. The generally used term CRS is a misnomer!!!

speak up i cant hear you

Very cool, thank you

Great music on the on site video at the end of the video.

Can you please send a link to the book?

The unfortunate thing about not only the talon grip, but many other specialty vise jaws, is that they are not available in “Snap Jaws” style of attachment using a tee slot over short head cap screw arrangement for quick change. In a die shop or production shop environment with today’s short run requirements, time is money and idle changeover time is costly. Fiddling around with traditional shcs, running them out and then back in is time wasted even with an air ratchet and as a result I rarely use my talon grip jaws. A word of caution regarding the talon grip. I wish you would have mentioned that they do indent the surface approximately.060 up into what they are holding so that area needs to be either waste stock and milled off after inversion as you indicated, or not be a factor in the surface finish or function of the part.

great videos, thanks

Thank you Phil!

Interesting to catch up on these, it’s good to see a decent take on the mould making structure I’m sure you’ll deliver some good insight with these group of vlogs, I have my own mould shop and tool room and been in the business for 40 years and still learning so good job here Phil 👍👍

Phil, is there ever a time when the magnetism left behind by the Mighty Mag could cause "problems"? If so, is there an easy way to remove the residual magnetism that might cause the problems?

Phil, it sounds like this is an old video lesson. Do you plan on making new lessons for those of us who missed this earlier course? Edit: I just found your website and the generous offer of lifetime access to your 350+ video lessons & immediately signed up! ;)

Another problem is that the younger generations don't want to put any effort into their jobs, but want to get paid a lot for their time.
