In my home workshop, I make or modify parts for old or rare vehicles, I also get asked to make "one off" unusual devices and prototype items. As I work on these items, I record the process I went through to achieve the final product (when my clients allow), I always show you what I went through to get the job done. I will never tell you how to do anything, because everybody's home workshop and skill level is different.
I am a retired heavy machine operator from the turbogenerator, locomotive and mining side of engineering. I retired after 31years. My skills involved vertical boring (3' to 14' (1mtr to 6.6mtr)), large milling (20mtr x 5mtr x 4 cutter), 6Mtr centre grinder and many other machines in between.
Sorry but my web page has now been closed.

NIce solution. I would never have thought of pressing it in. I've been looking at my broken one for a while. I suppose I don't have a reason to postpone it any further.
Bravo.......looks like acme thread......cheers
Good job , hope the house sale goes well and the new premises are mor than suitable to a shed upgrade 👍👍
Nice work.
Sometimes working with limited tools is a nice challenge..and in the middle of moving its something else entirely. Great little video.
Hi Paul thanks for sharing hope your workshop situation gets resolved soon.
I've never seen blacking steel by heating and dropping in Linseed oil before. Very good.
love your show !
Excellent job! Thanks for sharing. Ken
All's well that ends well.
True, very true.
Nice repair and very nice presentation for a really interesting repair. Thanks for the video and cheers!
Hi, cheers👍
Nice job and is that a Chas Taylor chuck I see 😉😁
Hi thanks. Yes it’s a Taylor chuck. I made a video of how I fixed it. Cheers
So which is it a shoe or a glove?😂😂
Hi, actually, it’s more of a boot. 🤪
That was superb Paul. Another excellent showcase for your skills and a variety of interesting processes. I have only moved workshops once, I feel your pain.
Hi, thanks..
I'm not normally one to name my machines but I think you should name that lathe Lazarus. You have done a ressurection act on it.
True. But there’s still lots to do. Cheers
That wet tissue method is rather good, I’m going to have to give it a try.
If you decide to start adding music I have a request…..Marcel Marceau’s greatest hits..
Hi, I’m afraid I can’t please everybody. Cheers
@@Thesheddweller I assume that you know that he was a Mime😉
@@robertpearson8798 yep
Good thing you changed to a dead centre. In the video we can clearly see the life centre flexing. I have one of your stickers on my cheap door, but I don't remember if I did send you one of mine.
Hi, I was concentrating so hard on the thread that I nearly didn’t see the problem. I never received a sticker no worries I’m sure the postman has it up on his wall🤪🤣 cheers
Cracking job, i guess you saw the price of replacements! Phil
Hi. No I didn’t try to find a replacement, I just wanted something to do. Cheers
Bravo! Especially with the square hole!
Yes, that was a smart move!
Parabens goste de pessoas criativas, estou tentando bolar um sistema de fazer rosca na minha "geringonça" e pretendo fazer uma ferramenta igual a sua, um abraço.
Obrigado. Desejo-lhe o melhor em seu esforço. Divirta-se. Saúde.
Wish you show us the flank angle.
The opposite cams should also be checked for the same height. Otherwise, only one flute will be cutting.
@31:15 The rotation "zero" set point should be before the wheel contact the cutting lip. The cam low point should coincide a few degrees before touching the cutting lip. Then as the cam cause the drill bit to extend, it will grind the flank.
This is really complicated. Please check out the Black Diamond drill grinder. It also grind a conical flank. It's much much simpler.
Why is it called Dickson?
Hi. A good question....🤔, i don't know , why is it called a Dickson??. 😁
ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΉ ΕΡΓΑΣΊΑ!!!
I can hammer many things to shape and weld quite well and I can handle the idea of gearing but this is bordering on rocket science to me, I want to make gears using a shaper but I hadn't considered how to make them accurately, thanks for opening my eyes to the process and showing me some ways forward....I need to build the shaper first then I can get started. I know can do it I'm just not sure I want to make more than one size of gear tooth...atleast not to start with (yes I know) famous last words.. Spreadsheets are creative quantum physics to me ...not going there lol
Hi, my dad always said "you never know till you suck it and see". I guess he was right. cheers
that is a great fix, realised with intelligent solutions given limited tools - kudos! I have the same problem - on a south bend back gear (10K in this case). I'm wondering how important the dovetail is, structurally - a square section would be so much easier ;) Also since there's no load on the top of the tooth, why would you not put the grub screw - or two in from the top? Did you consider brazing or silver soldering it in?
Хорошая работа !
Very cool and genius design.
Thanks for that, I've just finished doing mine but redrilled one collar to remove the end play. As for wicks, I refuse to pay Grizzly prices plus shipping to the UK so experimented with short lengths of 3mm and 5mm Lamp Wick and found they wicked a very heacy weight oil (120 SAE) in cold conditions in a similar trial to yours. I also tried using a thin strip of man made felt camping towel which only manager half the capilary performance og the lamp wick
Thank you for the detailed video. I'm just beginning my hobby machine shop but a surface place was out of the budget. Untill now
Paulo, tu sabes que ese engranaje no quedo con la resistencia necesaria debido al error en el corte en la parte superior, hubiera sido más honesto de tu parte realizar nuevamente la reparación desde cero, hasta conseguir un resultado correcto y resistente. Saludos
That's the exact tool holder post we had in our lathes in high school ! they were so easy to adjust the cutter any way you wanted and really fast ! Thanks for the memories !
Nice job. I was watching a channel with a homemade indexing wheel drive. He started the table 1 inch away to make sure all the backlash was out before the cut started. Your gear looks the part.
Hi, thanks, It is still in use. cheers.
Very interesting idea. Thanks
Very good video. Opened my eyes. Thanks
Super cool ! Love when people create a complex but simple mechanism. As someone (who probably never invented a tool in his life) suggested, You could start the thread from the other side, but I never did like that. Very cool. I willmsave the video and hopefully one day have the time to make something similar… That hopefully works as well !
Great video! I never would have thought of doing it like that. I especially liked your single point dovetail cutter. I destroyed a couple of change gears off my Atlas Lathe beyond repair so I found a involute cutter set on eBay. They were not very expensive and I made some new gears from scratch out of brass. Way better than the original zermak stuff. I have a rotary table I could tip up on its side to use as a dividing head. Slotted the key way using the quill on the mill like a slotted. Came out ok. Worked great.
Lovely job.
Very nice work. My half nuts is also worn. However I’m going to fit new ones. I’m not on your level of skill yet.
Nice work. Watched quite a few of your videos now and I do admire your skill.
Very nice work sir. Watched a few of your videos now and like it. Thanks
Interesting. Very nice work
Can you say what size the bore tap was ?
Hi, if you’re on about the tube bore, i can only tell you what I used in the video. All I can say is use what ever fits!.. some of the tube bores are different sizes I just happened to have a 10mm tap to hand, and it worked. Hope that helped
@@Thesheddweller No sir not the tap that pulled out the tube, I was asking about the tap you used to clean the hole threads for the plug after the tube was already out...thats what I was on about.
@@pauliebots sorry, I misread your comment. Being a triumph nothing is that simple, the bung thread up to 1967 is 11/16" x 20tpi cycle thread. But there are variations some have 3/4" x 20tpi cycle thread, and some are 9/16" x 20tpi cycle thread, depending whether timing side or drive side. I'm sorry I can't be more specific than that I'm afraid. hope this helps. cheers
@@Thesheddweller that's perfect! Thanks for the info and your time.
Hi, your comment about spending your life polishing turds hit me like a ton bricks, thank you for the wake up.
Hi, you’re welcome.
