Hi All:
I'm with the general consensus here; this guy is painful to watch.
He's not quite the worst I've ever seen but he's pretty close to the bottom of the barrel.
I'd be firing his ass if he was that bad as a 2nd year apprentice
If I spent that kind of time just clocking in my part, I'd already be dead of old age.
Not only that, he seems to have found a way to explain what he's doing in the most confusing way possible.
Not only that, as many of you have observed his setups are for shit in so many ways.
This is supposed to be an INSTRUCTOR at North Georgia Tech??
He's a fuckin' moron as a manual machinist.
I looked at the predecessor video where he mills the part on a CNC, his shit is better on that platform, but not very much better...still lots to criticize.
All those hoping to learn the trade from this institution, need to avoid this instructor...he's pretty much hopeless.
According to the intro blurb in the Youtube version, he teaches Tool and Diemaking at North Georgia Tech...I'd hate to see what those poor students of his are capable of when they're finished but I'm not impressed and I sure wouldn't hire North Georgia Tech grads based on the quality of the instruction coming from this guy.
Also he can't run a lathe to save his life...everything looks and sounds terrible and he seems to have no idea what he's doing wrong.
Maybe just a smidge of lube on the tip of his tool for starters...my Lovely Wife looked at me pretty weirdly when I yelled "Lube your fucking tool" at the computer... but I digress.
So as you may have guessed, IMO he didn't make his case convincingly.
I understand what he was trying to communicate, but he didn't do it very well.
Cheers
Marcus
