A tiny boring bar joins JohnnyQ90's miniature V8 workshop
The week's single upload is a small machining tool, while a three-month-old LS piston video has passed four and a half million views.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
TINY BORING BAR
One upload, one small tool. "TINY BORING BAR" went up on September 29, and in its first fourteen hours it gathered a few thousand views. The title says it plainly: a boring bar is the lathe tool machinists use to open up and true a hole from the inside, and on a channel that builds working engines at miniature scale, it is the kind of part that makes the rest possible.
The heavy lifting still belongs to the big project. "52cc V8 LS Piston Installation," posted in late June, remains the busiest video on the channel, and it has now passed four and a half million views. Its companion, "Miniature LS V8 Assembly & Run - AMAZING Sound!", a few days older, keeps drawing a steady crowd of its own. Between them, the little LS still does the talking.
The channel as a whole ran a bit below its usual daily pace. That put it in good company among the car channels near its size, where VINwiki, Rich Rebuilds and Gas Monkey Garage were quieter too. Speed Bump Garage was the one running well ahead of its normal stride.
