Machining the fixed jaw seat on the Hardtail vise. Enjoying the sites and sounds of your machine tools, listening to them talk to you, working them with your hands, eyes and ears to help create the parts you imagine. These are the types of projects that remind me why I love being a machinist. It’s not always about speed and efficiency. It’s about enjoying your craft. Episode 3 of the Hardtail vise build is live on my YouTube channel. #abom79 #machinist #manualmachinist #manualmachining #milling
