Thread: Tubal Cain Videos

he was a secondary school teacher . I like his videos because he explains the basics clearly . Nothing complicated, he has a easy to listen to style, he does not assume that you know anything

Thanks. I did notice he was a bit long winded but he is no orphan there when it comes to YouTube.

Hi Dean,
I have watched a few of his vids too, some whilst browsing youtube and some specifically. I know i watched his vids on sine bars when i got mine, and his lathe tool grinding vids are good from memory.

He's great. I learned a lot from his videos when I bought my lathe. There are some absolute wankers on PM.

There is a bloke on the woodworking forum called "Scribbly Gum"
I like his message.... "When the Student is ready the Teacher will appear"
Many times I have considered that message, it makes sense.
The Tubal Cain stuff at times is a bit longwinded, however there is a lot of good info that is often overlooked.
I picked up an idea of a Sine Bar set up for the compound setting on my lathe from Tubal, followed the concept, & made the Sine Bar idea into a workable & practical tool, that works !
One can never stop learning.

It was actually one of his videos on lathe tool grinding that was being canned. I have seen that one, where he uses a piece of wood to to show the angles much enlarged and I thought it made it much simpler to understand what was going on. There was conjecture about his angles.

He's great. I learned a lot from his videos when I bought my lathe. There are some absolute wankers on PM.

I have noticed that. I rarely look at PM but when I started thinking about Tubal Cain videos I googled him and went from there. There were some positives amongst the carp.

Another positive vote. You are absolutely true that "One can never stop learning." When you stop learning there is only one way to go and it is not good. I guess that if you outgrow what Tubal is teaching then it is just time to move on. I am certainly nowhere near that stage and wont be for a long time.

When i first inherited my lathe, my first job was to learn the names of the parts (saddle, headstock, tailstock etc.) Let alone how to use the bloody thing! I stumbled upon Tubal Cains videos and found his style of teaching both informative and comforting in a time where information overload was sending my brain into a flat spin out to sea!So from a novice POV he gets a big thumbs up from me!

Thanks Simon. It is so long since I worked with Lathes and Mills that I am starting as tho I am a complete novice which in most things I am. I never had overall training, only advice and checking over my shoulder when I was setting up. I must say that other than a couple of big heads the people I worked with, toolmakers in particular were very supportive. Most of this work was for tooling/jigs for the machines I was operating.

I have decided in favour of Tubals videos with a lot of help from Ewan behind the scenes.

I found most of the machining ones great to watch, I discovered them about a year ago and went through the whole batch. Haven't checked lately, so might need to go invest a bit more time on youtube

I have been downloading all of Mrpete222's video's to send to Dean. A diabolical computer crash and a new PC later i am nearly done. I will be putting them on a USB stick as i'm looking at around 15gb total.

I was thinking that any other member interested could register there interest here and the sick could be sent round much like the shaper traveling stick. I know there are a few members with limited internet and even if you don't, being able to watch them at max res without having to wait for loading or using up your internet usage should be a plus.
There are some video's i didn't know he had which i have to watch, there are about 100 in total i think.....

Well done Ewan .... you get a elephant stamp from the teacher

Put me down for that stick please

Mike

No Worries Mike.

Are there any other video's anyone would want me to download? I might be looking at a 32gb stick as there are more non machine shop tips vids then i thought.....

One thing....they are downloaded as Firefox HTML docs, i'm not sure if they will play on IE or Chrome. You can get Firefox here Mozilla Firefox Web Browser it is far better than IE....

Ewan,
these are the first videos I watched before I bought my lathe. They are quite long (around 40 minutes) but they are excellent. Not sure how many MB each vid is. This one is the intro to the lathe. There are videos on milling too.
