I watched some making of stuff with lathes on Youtube, and thought it was very interesting, and I'm looking for some suggestions on "making of steel parts" videos -- as in, videos where someone makes interesting parts or designs (Abstract, practical, etc.) on CNC or milling machines?
 
I like machining, but Just watching a cnc mill run isn't very enlightening unless you know why

Plus, I don't have a cnc machine so it's not very transferable

Except for this, I like this

I like these videos as they show setups, repairs one offs, and ways to think about machining and work holding.
