    Oh, good grief! I am five minutes into the video and I can plainly see that we are going to have to watch it being made, piece-by-piece. With absolutely no explanation of what the design theory behind it is or what is going on.

    Sorry Paul, for not informing about the non-informative, tedious and perhaps non-pedagogic process beforehand.
    That said, I personally like following the machining sometimes just to see what decisions is being made when,
    and try to figure out the ideas and methods used. For instance: Not a single carbide insert, "merely" HSS lathe tools used throughout.
    I'm also biased in having some interest in DIY hobbing, and learned quite a few bits from it.
    But then that's just me - and "to each his own" I guess...

    Ralphxyz: Seems to be a run-of-the mill Sandvik HSS 60 mm OD hole saw*:

    The video must have been speeded up cause that run-of-the mill Sandvik HSS 60 mm OD hole saw cut through the steel like butter.

    Yup- the shot was indeed speeded up as well as cut/ POV changed three times.

    A PIC chip? Andy from Andy's Machines must be a pensioner.

    All kidding aside Andy's Machines is a pretty cool channel. He builds lots of really cool stuff. The Terminator eyes video is pretty neat.

    Part 2

    Caution: NO drawings, sparse comments, some machining that might be disturbing to sensitive watchers.
    Watching this video is NOT MANDATORY.

    Hey Nova. Might you have a more specific URL for Andy's Machines? Did the Google thing and all I got was professional business machine shops. Didn't seem to be what I was looking for.

    PS Great job Swede!!!

    Here you go. This is the Terminator eye build. It's purely artistic, but still very neat. He makes a working mechanical iris.
