@@MadBadgerLady-hi5gj just fruit, he has to chew nuts and that takes time he doesn't want to waste.🤣🤣🤣

@@chrisstephens6673 How funny 🤣🦡

@@adyfinch2918 I use their greed and hunger against them, offer them food, and with patience on your part, they are willing to accept you as their catering manager. I have been feeding them in my garden in the leafy suburbs of NW London for about 15 years but still they only tolerate me.🤔

@@chrisstephens6673 that is lovely and for such a long time. I've had bird feeders in my garden since 2011,a few months ago,posted a couple of videos where I put food out for a fox for the 1st time here in Manchester.

@@adyfinch2918 we had been feeding foxes for years and one night there was a badger on the terrace, and they have been coming ever since. Perhaps you will be lucky too.

@@chrisstephens6673 🤞😊 That's lovely 😀

@@adyfinch2918 thanks for that and the subscription.

@@chrisstephens6673 no problem 😀

Thanks for watching and the comment. Some thinknots see bad even where there is good, a psychological flaw if ever I saw one. The majority of people love them or are indifferent at worst.

Thank you very much, I try.😉

Now you have me there, I just call it a special tool but it is only a bit of bent wire. The wire is something like 0.6 to 0.8mm, although as long as it fits the slot you should be fine, just push it enough to disengage the rack, you can judge that be the depth of the teeth of the rack, no great force is needed. I could imagine that if you bought one from mitutoyo the price would be significant, so literally a paperclip is the probably an option.

Thanks Chuck, she is an amazing little creature and getting a bit cheeky and stroppy in her badger teenage months. I am only just able to resist kidnapping her and tame her properly.😉 I do have it in mind to build them a proper sett in a quiet part of the garden, in case the neighours garden shed they live under is ever demolished although if they did disturb it there is a risk of 6 months in prison as badger setts are legally protected here.

Yes it is, that a why I claim bragging rights. 😉 She is getting a little boisterous and cheeky, typical teenager even though is only a few months old.

Yes it is, but last night mum took exception, either she was jealous or thought I was harming her little girl, but we soon made up over a handful of nuts.🙂

@@chrisstephens6673 Wow! Be careful! Luckily the nuts smoothed things over 😯

@@MadBadgerLady-hi5gj they always do,😉

Thanks for that but I did know. Some other makes that is the way to do it too but not a good way if in the slightest bit ham fisted. The "special tool" method is best and it is a little disappointing that they seem to have dropped it on some models.

Thanks for the feedback, a short video can save a lot of paperwork!

And thank you for your comment.

Thanks for the comment, the rings were rough shaped from if memory serves EN24 ( an alloy steel something like 4140?) with a normal lathe tool and then refined with a file, after that just hardened and lightly tempered.

Thanks, it's about 1am here and im sitting in the garden feeding them, just two so far tonight.

I hope you looked up the nice cute European ones not those awful American ones🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I thought you might like it.

Cute but expensive, like I say about having friends, " I used to have one but couldn't afford the upkeep". But since then I gave up smoking and have spare cash now, and what better way to spend it?🤣

Lol! These are some very lucky badgers!@@chrisstephens6673

That is something unheard of in the badger world, they have been known to stuff themselves, settle down for a quick nap and then come back for more. No fat shaming for them 🤣

Re unusual, anybody can do usual, I like to look at things differently hence unusual. It's because I don't do usual I don't post regularly only when I have something special. Apart from one badger, who only has one ear, the only way I can identify mine from each other is by their different characters, and yes they do have different characters. Thanks for the sub, it massages my ego.😉

Indeed and at my age the only excitement I get😀

Not just him but another as well, but I won't bore you with a similar video of her. They all seem to be absent recently as the winter is starting here, hope they remember me in the spring.

Thanks for that. Im doing my bit to show the difference between the European ones and the much more aggressive ones in other parts of the world. Im not saying European badgers can't be aggressive because they fight amongst themselves, probably why one of my visitors only has one esr, but if frightened they do their best run away, if they can't then watch out they are powerful creatures.

I thought you might appreciate it, The raccoon analogy is quite apt, much more than what you chaps think of as a badger.😂

Guilty as charged 😂

I admit that is a possibility, no matter how unlikely. They have no incentive to bite, I am no threat and if I move to quickly they take fright and run away to the shadows, but soon come back for more free food, which doesn't include human finger. 😉

Don't worry, they are so well fed they wouldn't have room for bits of me.😅

@@chrisstephens6673 loll

They are genuine wild animals but some people confuse the nice and cute European badger with the often aggressive American version. Not so much interesting, as patient! I have been feeding the visitors to my garden for a decade or more. I got the first one to take food from my hand after about a month but it is only this year that I thought to feed them nuts like this, could have done it a lot sooner but never tried before. I'll put your comment on the sweat shirt, just to boost my ego.👍

Thanks for your concern but believe it or not they really aren't interested in eating or even biting me, although the other day one of them tried to suck my thumb. They trust me and I trust them.

I thought I had replied but obviously something went wrong. Thanks Jon, sorry, Grasshopper yes a lot of patience and many hours out in the cold, but not as bad as you get up there. I had to learn patience from dealing with wokes and put it to good use..😃😃😃

It does take patience and you are a very astute judge of people.😉 but I must warn you flattery will get you nowhere, I'm too used to it.😁

Glad you like the idea, I recently made one for trapezoidal threads where the flat is more important. While I was making that one I had an extra thought, if you measure the length of the tool before the flat is ground you can grind and measure how much shorter it is after grinding, then you could use a standsrd micrometer to make the measurement.

@@chrisstephens6673 Yes exactly my thought for grinding 60 deg tools . But I think it's hard for an trapezoidal thread because the un flattened tip is so long, there will be a lot of extra metal to grind to get to a point then grind it back. For 60 degree tools we usually grind a 60deg point then add the flat so it's not much metal. For an acme it would mean grinding maybe twice as much metal to get a point to measure from then grind it all off to get the flat. Your tool foregoes the extra grinding and zero's in on just the flat. You just have to calibrate it with a point but after that you don't need a point to start.

@@billshiff2060 I have grinding jigs for both 60 degree and trapezoidal where the overall length could be measured while still in the jig, but that is just technique rather than concept. Feel free to take the idea and run with it any way you like.

@@chrisstephens6673 Thanks I will.

PS I didn't check your maths but I expect you are right, being old I have to work out from first principles how to do it each time I use trigonometry.

I'm glad you think so and thanks for commenting .

@@chrisstephens6673 My pleasure!

Thanks for commenting. Wait till you see the 60 degree threading tool one, much cleverer, If I say so myself.😂

PS, last week I made another gizmo, like screw cutting one in the other video, for measuring the flat of the tool, which is much more important on an acme or trapezoidal thread, but you can do the same by measuring from a sharp point to the other end and work out with trig how much shorter it should be with the correct flat width.

What ho young Tom, this video is 5 years old, but I am getting back to playing. I have always been dextrous but I wouldn't have to be if there was enough room for a tripod.😉 Thanks for watching and commenting, this jig is much simpler than the 60 threading one you saw a few years back, if you remember it. I recently made a gizmo for measuring the flat, which as you know is more important on an acme or trapezoidal thread than an ordinary screw one. By the by, where's the meatloaf, I'm getting hungry.

Thanks for the comment, as with all jigs and fixtures they are a means to an end, ie to make life easier. I wouldn't have posted if I didn't think people would copy, so go ahead you have my blessing.

Well I didn't want to bore my viewers with an overly long video. Maybe I'll do a longer one showing its use. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you for you for your kind words .

Indeed rubber bands work perfectly well, but I try to come up with things to make people think there are other than the established methods that have been about for decades. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for that, it means something when an experienced hand likes something of mine.

Thanks the comment. If I got you thinking my job is done, and it's 5 years. As I said I wasn't happy with the video so had no intention of posting but HaxbyShed asked for a picture after I mentioned it to him and I thought why not. The normal threading one is a bit cleverer because of the extra angles involved. Maybe I'll post a video one day.

I see your point on 3 years but you ignored my little furry friend and if you are not careful I'll post more of them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@chrisstephens6673 Actually I quite like your furry friend! Very telegenic. 🙂

@@624Dudley my new favourite will stand with his/her paws on my knee while I feed it it's special treats, which shows a certain level of trust, or maybe greed, but it is difficult to film.

Thanks for the comment, all in the aid of precision the easy way.

Why thank you kind sir! I assume that means you like it. Maybe I'll shoot a video of a slightly more complicated jig I made for 60 degree threads that incorporates a lead angle compensation. The trappy one is universal left or right hand. Both should be on the SMEE stand at the Midlands show next month along with the flat measuring tools.

@@chrisstephens6673 go for it chris😉😉👍👍

Thanks for the comment, yes and at my age it is about the only pleasure I get. I spend at least an hour every night from midnight on, although food is put out earlier often several times. Kilroy is no more but his descendants are still here. At the moment we have at least four that live at the far end of the garden, I have gained the trust of three which will eat from my hand but with this lot it took a great deal of patience and discovering that badgers love peanut butter sandwiches and will overcome their shyness to get more. The ones that won't take food from my hand are quite happy to have me watch them eat the other foods I put out for them. My favourite is so gentle when she takes food , not like her American cousins which I believe are quite vicious. Oh and in case you are worried we don't have nasties like rabies and in 15 or so years I have never been bitten by any of them.

Re babies, we get between 2 and 4 most years but when we get to see them they seem almost as big as the adults. One year I was hand feeding the 4 youngsters, they were standing by the dwarf wall of our upper terrace, as can be seen in the videos, they were in a row and I was feeding them strips of dog food sausage in turn, it is to my eternal regret I didn't manage to film it.

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it and I hope you will find it useful. Out of curiosity, how did you find the video?

Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you found it useful.

Thanks for the voicing your concern and at first glance a perfectly valid one but the wire is only copper and really quite bendy and the Mic anvils have no problem. I made a series and obviously the size went up with the longer pitch inline with the larger diameter of the screw. No system is perfect but this style saves the often quoted dislike of using 3 wires being that of dropping them in the chip tray or not having enough hands to use lhem. If I were to change the design next time it would be to make them spring closed not open but that is a small matter. Out of curiosity how did you find the video?

@@chrisstephens6673 Thanks for a prompt reply. To answer you question as to how I found the video is because I am doing thread cutting using wires for only the second time in over 55 Years machining. I am helping out someone who is Interstate ( 1,000 kilometers away ) so I could not do the measuring myself. He wanted some lathe chuck backplates making 2 & 1/4" X 8 tpi. So that I would be sure that they would fit, I asked him to measure up his lathe spindle, length and diameters. I purchased for him a set of thread wires, which came with rubber wire holders for the Mic anvil. He did a series of measurements, varying by about 1 thou, so I picked the average. I made the dummy spindle yesterday and had to use my thread pins that were just in a plastic wallet, no rubbers. Ater a lot of fumbling and swearing I eventually got the measurement correct the same as his. Real nightmare to do as the 2 0.082" pins when fitted in an 8 tpi thread barely sat on the micrometer anvil. This morning I removed it from the chuck and did some remeasuring on the bench, still fidderly but checked out OK. I then sat and watched as many videos as I could find on how to hold the pins in place. Some said grease, some said rubber bands, others said stick them in foam, then I found your video, and the rest is history as they say. Just thought that I would point out that your device is not parallel and you would get an incorrect reading. But as you say the copper bends. If I ever need to do another thread measurement I will give your one a go, although perhaps with Piano Wire which is springy and less liable to crushing. Thanks for asking. Regards from Australia.

@@daveticehurst4191 thanks for reply and as you say promptly. Re large threads, on the job I used to do on BMW bike heads I had to make a M50X2 exhaust stub and used copper wire but wound as a spring like a giant O-VEE spring thread gauge and one of the online thread calculators where you have an option to put any appropriate wire size in. I inherited a comprehensive collection of reels of copper wire but they don't always match with the PD charts size wise so the option to pick from a range in the calculator is helpful. Trans continental repairs can be problematic. I remember my friend Tom Lipton was asked by an Australian to make a plug for, I think, an x ray machine. It was thought to be a weird metric size one and Tom was going show how to cut a metric thread on an Imp lathe, till I pointed out it was a 26TPI BSB thread. So a three continent repair job, must be some sort of record🤣 If you improve my design and show it, let me know so I can see what you have done, please feel free to run with the idea but a mention would help an ageing ego.

@@chrisstephens6673 Thanks for the reply. Will do If I ever need to do another thread as big. I have several sets of O-Vee thread wires, so quick and easy to do as I understand. Although again, I have never needed to use them, most times on small threads it is just tap and die method. Yes the Yanks don't seem to know about the UK BSB thread system. I had to tell Joe Pie on YT the other Month who was making a Stuart Model Engine and needed a 5/16 26 thread, I think he used an US thread in the end. Regards.

@@daveticehurst4191 that's the beauty of making both parts in a "one off" you get to choose the thread and no one can whinge because two bits don't match and the need for standards is negated.

If it is the same side I could but now I'm in my seventies I don't have the enthusiasm I once had. This one was a special favour for a long time friend, but would even be reluctant to make him one now. Sorry but thanks for the comment and enquiry.
