Doubled with Brad.
I make my videos public because most of the traffic they get will be from this forum anyway, including those just cruising by. I put them up for entertainment and as far as I'm concerned if anyone here or on the 'tube itself finds them and thinks they're worth watching, they can feel free.

If you haven't already been assimilated by the G monster, you will have to create an account with them in order to use any of the services under the umbrella, including utoob. If you wish to avoid it, yes, check into other video hosting options. Photobucket used to host videos for free, but that's no longer an option for most of us.

Yes, Ian, I have a Samsung phone, so stuck with some Google, but do NOT have any
sort of a Google account, carefully avoided The Borg so far.
On Vimeo, give them email address, make up a password, upload a video.
They send you an email to validate, and you click on a link in their email.
Done. Max 10 uploads a week for free membership.....not going to be a problem for me. So far,
one upload in six decades.

Thanks, Gary. The part I didn't mention was the four hours I spent scraping out the threads with inadequate tooling, I think I could have done it in ten minutes even at my skill level once set up if I had a carbide insert threading bar, but I'm used to substituting patience for proper tools. Like tonight when I would have given my kingdom for a jobber-length letter Q drill.
L1A1Rocker and I were discussing tooling options and I mentioned my discovery that it's really, really tough to find certain lathe tools when you have never seen what's available for the job and don't even know what exactly to look for or what it's called.
End view, mocked up with some hardened SAE bolts I had on hand. I don't know what kind of steel that was but it was about all I wanted to cut by hand with a T-handle tap, and about all I would want to thread with the tiny but surprisingly stout little carriage and cross/compound feeds.

That looks great. And it will certainly get the job done.
