Nice skills! What adaptor was this used for?
And how long have you been a machinist?
I want one of those but no space. ☹
Or skills

I love it! The time lapse gives a good sense of how many individual operations and measurements and tool changes are necessary for a single fairly straightforward custom part.

Yep...been a toolmaker for over 50 years, folks dont realize how much time and effort goes into making custom parts. If you can afford or have access to CNC machines that time can be reduced considerably but it becomes cost prohibitive unless your gonna make a hundred parts. I was lucky enough that I could use the equipment at the shops I worked at, so in my case it was just the time invested. You can have a lot of pride and satisfaction making something that works and looks good. Unfortunately, folks nowadays are looking for cheap and fast then want to complain because it doesnt last or fit very well...hats off to those of you making quality custom parts, you are appreciated by those that have been there and done that !!!

actually, it's been my hobby for over 10 years, just I got corona and got the time to play with my lathe.

Even though I didn’t understand one damned thing about what was being done, that was fascinating. I love to watch members of the forum show off skills I will never have time to learn.

Yes it is easy for people to judge others and what they do. I always wanted to get into machining but the most I ever got into was engine machining. I don't think I had the patience back then. I would rather develop, again still did not have the patience in school. Finally got enough patience but I ended up in the automotive field 40 plus years (30 plus at dealership level) where everyone thinks it is simple to do things as long as you can afford some harbor freight tools, a scanner, and have youTube. Yes, many things are relativly easy when you have the experience. It still takes your time though. My body is not up to all the tasks anymore. Probably should have tried harder to do cnc programing when I was younger.

you right I did not show and explain what it is. I have several airguns one of them is Artemis P15, it is absolutely brilliant gun for its price. i just wanted to fit him an FX slug liner. for this I made :
step by step I will post videos and pics of them. also, many other airgun things were made in this days
- Barrel housing for a liner in the P15 receiver
- 13 mm tube for liner
- end cup for liner assembly with a double-threaded cup ( M10X1 and M12X1.25)
- Slug Probe for P15
- Silencer Adaptor for shroud housing.
step by step I will post videos and pics of them. also, many other airgun things were made in this days

WM210V. it is a Chinese lathe. I made it custom in a factory with more powerful motors and gear sets for threads

My back hurt just thinking about all the hours hunched over a small lathe,,, or that is "small" as i was also 6 foot 2 inch back then in the 80ties, and the lathe( colchester 8050 ) felt really low.
Actually i often operated it sitting on a chair, just looking at the addon digital readout.

Thanks for the vids and showing all that goes into machining a few airgun parts. I have a small mini lathe so I know the time and effort involved in what you showed us and even more since you filmed it so thanks again.

I worked with a guy that was 6’7”and he mostly run a lathe And by 45 years old he had some serious back problems.

I am very impressed. Wish I would’ve been paying closer attention to the teacher in 9th grade metal shop class as we had a lathe in our shop.
but instead I played too much grab @$$ as most 15 year olds, and the teacher considered me a hazard so he booted me out.
now I yearn lo learn and make what parts you showed vids on. Thanks for posting!

Hi guys
I made several one piece FX barrel adapters for different rifles. Daystate Delta wolf and Kral Puncher are pictured below. You jus remove original barrel attachment and inlet , install the new adopted one and you can use FX barrel for Kral Puncher and Daystate Detla Wolf
