I had watched the James Watt micrometer video a while back. It seems to be a very ingenious instrument for its time. Lots of challenges for the build too. I like your "dive in head first" approach.

G'day Rusty. At first glance what a complex project, so many holes & fidley bits 😊😅😮. But in a Rustinox Way, a few pieces of scrap, suddenly start to take shape in a Historical Way. You have your first few pieces of Art. Well done, looking forward to the rest of the Project.

Nice choice of a rare historical tool build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎
-
just the right amount of humour and a shapper being used could watch this all day thanks
-
That is a manly bench vice you have there! Like it when you explain that you don't know how you will do something as it adds a bit of suspense to the project.

Hello Michel. Excellent start to what will be an interesting series. As always, I love your inventive approach and use of materials available to you. 👏👏👍😀
-
Really enjoyed that Michel, I found myself completely absorbed in it. You are brave to start a video series when you are not sure how some parts will be made. I like the sheet bender rig. I'll be back for the next part. Cheers
-
Cool. Nice idea Michel. Looking forward to the whole series.

I am a long time subscriber to Machine Thinking. He has an excellent channel featuring the most interesting subjects. Highly recommend.

Hello Michel, A good start to the build... I am looking forward to watching this project progress... Take care. Paul,,
-
Coming along nicely Rusti. This will make an interesting video series. Cheers, Aaron.

I will be back for next week. Mr. Watt would be proud of you. Mr. Watt did not have DRO either. I would be surprised if he had a power saw or mill.

Hi Michel ☺ this is an interesting project, and the way you use whatever you have to build it makes it well worth watching, and must give you alot of satisfaction. Keep up the good work mate, thanks for the video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Interesting project Michel, i really looking forward to it.....but only in case you never call it "primitive" filing.... 😅😂
-
We are with you buddy! Thanks for the kickoff.
-
I see that Part #1 even has the ornamental details so necessary in James Watts’ time. Nice! 👍
-
intereting project Michel, look forward to the next one👍👍 atb Kev

Happy days, looks like a great start to a very interesting project buddy, thank you for sharing

Good start to the project Michel. It is amazing that you started with a large piece of angle, then some cutting, cleaning up and shaping to end up with a nice looking main body of the micrometer. Looks like that first piece of sheet metal is hardened and it cracked when you tried to bend it.
