I just love the confidence at diving in and taking things apart. But I guess these things were manmade so can be unmade by man, rather than made by robots
Love these tool hull video's. Good score on the end mills. Cant wait for the taphead vid. Thanks for sharing
In Australia some Guys converted a 40 series Landcruiser to Electric and drove it 13km's underwater across the Darwin Harbor, there's video's on it, i thought you might be interested.
Ive always prefered the cj7 over the cj5. One thing youll find out about the cj5 if youve bever owned one before is R.I.P to your funny bone...
We found on of those Procunier tapers at our local scrap yard and it's still in pieces, they is a fellow on eBay with parts for these, had buy a new clutch and the planetary gear shafts/bolts-nuts, hope to get ours in working order sooner than later!
Wow, 2 seconds in, and I recognize it! I've been there. Bought some cool stuff. The owner was an interesting guy. We ended up at what I thought was pretty fare prices.
that translucent amber like material is ultem
I love that chuck. Where I live we have a huge shed next to the local rubbish dump and people donate stuff and they have staff to pick stuff up off the tip face. It absolutely amazing what comes in from cars and boats that people just don’t want anymore, a lot of the cars get driven in, to books ect. I’m always out there looking for things I didn’t know I needed. The prices are not written on anything, you just take it to the counter and they take a look and give you a price on the spot. Sounds weird but it works because it’s so cheap. I picked up a good quality compressor that just needed a capacitor for $10, fixed it for $7 and sold it for $740. A very rare gear shift for $5 which I resold for $650. Bikes were generally $10 and so were lawnmowers. A recent article said that they had found a couple of old German stick grenades and another was an unused rocket launcher I guess from people cleaning out grandpa’s sheds. Tools, you name it, they’ve had them and I have been lucky enough to get some fantastic bargains. Cheers.
You got some good scores there. 👍
what an awesome chuck.... great great score....i score a 3/8 like brand new albrecht chuck for 20 bucks the other day....i never pass up an albrecht...procunier was a good score too.. love the content...cant wait til you fire up the jeep :)...wait i shouldn't say fire with electric vehicles
I will fight you for any BS9 tooling. 😂 So do you also wind up with BS9 taper with either an odd drawbar size or just straight up being a tang end? Because I would love to see your solution for modifying them to work on a Wells-Index head.
Reminds me of installing a 4 speed tranny in my CJ 3 behind an abortion mess of an Isuzu diesel engine. One extreme Jeep oddity. My CJ 3 was a carbon copy made by Mitsubishi contracted to the DoD with Willys interchangeable parts except the engine.. The original engine had a timing belt, tensioning specs on a plate on the side of the jeep which roughly indicates it's age. Supposedly this jeep was assigned to the USAF base in Thailand during the Vietnam war. A total enigma, a WWII revival from a 20 year time warp?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Mantiques
Ill buy that wahlstrom off ya lol
Which tool to find would be your holy grail, obviously it's got to be vintage and pretty rare. Possibly from yesteryear that most would not even know it's function
Oooh, that’s a good one. The tapping head is actually pretty far up there. If I could pick one thing to have fall out of the sky and into my shop, it would be a set of tri-mics. They’re out there, but they usually cost and arm and a leg each, and measure a very small range. I have one that didn’t cost and arm and a leg and measures 1.4-1.6” A taper micrometer would be cool too. I’ll have to think on that more.
I waffled for a couple minutes on a cast iron surface plate at an estate sale turned my back to look at something else for a minute, and it was gone. Still kicking myself 😢 Yeah there's only about 4000 of us looking for B&S-9 usable tooling... Nice finds Jeremy !
Score!!
Definitely looking forward to the tapping head video
I've passed by this place so many times. Now I know I should have stopped.
It’s….pretty amazing.
Nice job Jeremy!
As an EV enthusiast and hardcore Jeep zealot (my coffin will have o||||o on it), I heartily endorse this product or service. Absolutely love this project and you’re doing terrific work on it.
That means a lot to me coming from you. I’ve learned so much from your channel and it’s been a source inspiration for me. So thank you!
Loved it. Had a similar experience recently but stupidly had taken my wife. That caused both disappointment and money saving.
Lookin good! Thanks for your time.
All I can say about this is: Sir, you and I a kindred souls.
Nice catch... Was going to post my own vid on my latest scrapyard rummaging loot, but i got all pissy about some mistakes i made and i scrapped the footage... I`ll have to go over my loot at one point and show some stuff... Guess i`ll get to it at some point... Just recently ran across a nice condition surface grinder on the scrapyard, but i can`t take it, i`ve literally 0 space... if i had my shop set up, i would pick it up for reparations and re-sale... As things stand, i splashed it with chainsaw oil and wrapped it in cling foil in hopes that it will wait for me as long as i will take, or will be there, well preserved until some other maniac like me comes by and saves the poor thing from the chinese smelters... Oy vey... My golems have failed me... Now i can only lament my current state and hope that shit gets done asap; can`t allow such machines to go to waste... Who knows, maybe RotarySMP would snag it off of me... It would be a long shipping distance, but europe is europe, and a decent truck will haul 2000kg like it`s a bag of flour... Tho, i gotta say, i`ve been hunting for a surface plate for a while, a resto project like this, but such pieces elude me... *jealous noises* Best regards! Steuss
Great video! Very interesting.
Wish we had an old tool shop, I could spend hours and hours there! Great episode, loved it, thanks!
Re surface plate. 3 pads not just to stop warping but rocking and wobbling too. The position of said feet distance from the edge etc. are the critical points to stop warping OX tools or Rob(can't spell his name) did a video about it.
One of my great or great great uncles invented bandsaw blade guides. And funny thing, i havethe same drill chuck.
So glad you found those shiny DoAll guides! I’ve been keeping watch for them to send to Mark, but they just didn’t turn up. Good prospecting 👍
I see the husky screwdriver! Too bad they don’t sell them anymore. I used to buy them 10 at a time for my techs.
I can see that you're a guy that appreciates tools. May I suggest two more tools to put on your wish list. An SDS hammerdrill, and a 20 ton hydraulic press. Both would have helped you on your endeavors in this video.
Thank you for sharing your life and I wholeheartedly agree with number 1
😂 pull a bandsaw out of the swamp and restore it! 😂 Excellent! Thank you for sharing!
Really cool. Designing, casting, and machining your own parts!
Love picking, there's always a treasure to be had. Cheers
I knew it! Every time you have something new, you take it apart. Of cousre, there is nothing wrong with that. It's interesting to find out how it works.
And this is a surprise to you? 🤣
Someone buy this man a XRF Analyzer
Thank you. another great video
Mantiques perfectly describes when I'm out hunting for tools. So I'll be telling the missus I'm off out mantique hunting.
I'm alway looking out for bargains like this and theirs no harm in a little bragging. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video. Can't wait to see what's inside that tapping head. I typically like seeing what people are finding in their area. But yeah, sometimes it feels like they'r just rubbing it in.
Amber plastic maybe Ultem, maybe.
I managed to score a cast iron surface plate like yours but half the size in near mint condition. Total price? Free99 🙂 Sadly every thing else in the Uk is vastly overpriced for used tools 😢
Yes, I want a video on the repair and rehab of the crusty old tapping machine thank you
glad i found this channel nice footage off all the steps and relax talking great job on fabricating all these parts good stuff
so cool, I like "junk"like this too hehe
Chorlube Mentally safe metalworking. Love it.
that amber plastic is called ultem, its good stuff. its an industrial medical-grade plastic
Thanks! I knew someone would know!
I second this. I recognised it straight away 😊
Reminds me of PEEK but certainly could be ULTEM. The PEEK I've used is perhaps a bit more transparent.
Wow, those prices are incredible! Smart move to use your audience to find more B&S #9 tooling for the mill 👍
