Wibbly Wobbly Idiot Vision
France
Приєднався 21 лис 2011
English bloke who's been living in the French Alps for the past 20 years, I like buggering about with old machines, and learning stuff. A software engineer by trade, but I've also been a house painter, chairlift driver, motorcycle courier, industrial mechanic, professional juggler, and electrician, amongst other things.
What I'm most definitely not, is adept with a camera. You'll get wibbly wobbly handheld stuff, lack of focus, wavery focus, pointing at the wrong thing, lots of umms and errs. You get what you pay for :)
My name's not really Michel, it's an old handle I used for scambaiting back in the day - M.Auron = "moron", and having a thick, Clouseau-esque french accent on the phone allowed me to close conversations with "fuck you very much".

On the importance of doing your research, or busting Matt Geevan's "proof"

Roman dodecahedra are a curious phenomena, not many of them have been found and apart from the fact they are from the Roman period, they are dodecahedral, and made of bronze, nobody really knows all that much about their intended use (if any). Apart from @Matt.Geevan Well, that's not entirely true. Matt has a theory about what they are for, and while it is vastly better than the glove knitting ...

Rust Removal - trying Beyond Ballistics' recipe
Переглядів 26621 день тому
In a recent video, Beyond Ballistics showed his recipe(s) for a rust removal product promising to be as good as and potentially better than Evaporust at a fraction of the price. I decided to give it a first try. TL;DR version - it's pretty good. Beyond Ballistics' rust removal recipe video : ua-cam.com/video/fVYZmeReKKY/v-deo.html

Some tooling around in the workshop (mostly chatting, though, as I am rubbish at actually filming anything) fixing up a steady rest blank I've had lying about for years, and some turning / milling filmed when making a new worm wheel for my bodged up dividing head. I needed a new worm wheel because the old one, with a 55:1 ratio meant needing a huge number of prime numbered division disks to do ...

Schaublin 102 open heart surgery
Переглядів 2204 місяці тому
The insanely expensive bearings on my Schaublin 102's headstock are reaching end of life. I suspect that a bit of grit or swarf has made its way in there, given the markings on of the rollers, but in any case, there's some lateral play issues. The only solution … crack out the tools, and crack it open.
Ski Juggling. Skuggling?

So, my friend Charlie Holland, from back in the day when I was heavily involved at The Circus Space (now the National Centre for Circus Arts), asked me if I could ski and juggle at the same time. I find it difficult to believe that, in over 20 years, I haven't tried this, so I did. This morning, before kicking the chairlift into action...

Looks like a simplified model of a Fullerene.....🙄
Not even simplified - there is a C20 fullerene. And while we'e on Fuller, if you truncate a dodecahedron you get an icosahedron, which is a fully triangulated geodesic. And yes, a roman icosahedron has also been found.
Good luck with the lottery !

I appreciate you making this statement. Ive been working on debunking Poole for a while, and you said it well. Theres a reason he deleted most of his channel, he took the money and ran. As a person with a legitimate claim to understanding ed and his code, i really appreciate you doing this video. I wanted to be the man to call him out to a fight, but you beat me to it. Gratz. Turn up your mic next time, youre hard to hear, but putting it to my ear was worth it.
Beautiful plumage those molehills have got.....my local mountain is something I prefer to just look at out of the window, but then I'm a lazy old bugger these days...
Yeah, they're very pretty. Pretty fuckin' steep. Apparently the avalanche corridor I went up can be skied in the winter - ice axe and crampons up and then ski down. I was vaguely interested but having seen it in person - I chose life.

Thank you for your quick review of the Parkside band saw. Now we are here. I just bought me one in total secrecy. What she doesn't know won't hurt her😊 The flimsy thin manual doesn't tell how to operate this thing. But it tells a lot about what NOT to do. When you finish any mods will you let us know.

Very nice work sir. A vice is such a handy tool
Aluminium 'stock'???? Bloody Americanisms.
What would you prefer? Material would work, I guess.
@@wibblywobblyidiotvision Material or sheet.
@@HeathLedgersChemist Well, it's not sheet, is it? It's not immaterial, though, so I guess it must be material. But I had it in stock. Thing is, I can't really agree with "stock" being an americanism. At least not a modern one, as I've always heard "stock" being used to refer to raw materials in a machining context. So I did a bit of searching. Atkins' "Workshop Practice" from 1929 refers to "stock" repeatedly, for example: "It is obvious that if the parting tool had a form on its side that would produce the round head in one operation, there would be considerable load on the tool as it nears the centre of the work, so, as the pip which holds it to the stock would be very small, the screw would break off before half the head had been formed."
Hi I'm just going through my gang members, I'm just say hi thanks a lot for watching my amazementness of lushness, cheers 🍺👍
Nicely done Si. not as easy as falling off a bike !

Morning Simon, a great deal of pleasure to be had from making one's own tools, ..Del...
Making, touching, it's all good :)
Very nice work sir
Exactly the experiment I was looking for. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I also make bad videos. I rejoice in the mediocre and in having almost no subscribers. But yours wasn't a bad video. At all.
Cheers, mate.
Haha I was randomly suggested this video and didn't imagine I would be treated to a convergence of my love of milling and grindcore. Thank you!
I love it when a plan comes together...
Yeah, you can stick that music in ya freckle 🤣
Nice rest, not so nice music !
Thanks Mr Wibbs, I too struggle seeing under 5mm. hoping the jig will help, I need to try it with smaller bits. As I have the 24 holes on the indexing plate would grinding the cutting edge at 7 degrees and then the clearance at 20 having advanced the indexer one hole help with the facets meeting at the point ? Thanks for the link...Del..
You'll have far more luck grinding tiny drills than I will - you have a nice diamond wheel, and repeatable advance. For getting the facets to meet at the centre, you just need very slightly more advance on the 20° cut.
Nothing wrong with that vid Mr Wobbly, there's a lot worse on my channel ! thanks for the tune, I do like a bit of Pink floyd ! Del..
Pink Floyd HAH I've got something far more unpleasant than your satan track up my sleeve for next time, and a story to go with it.
The French hammer is called a "marteau rivoir" a riveting hammer, which is what the ball peine hammer is! I have a wide selection of both types of French and Anglo-Saxon hammers use them indifferently, the squareness has long since ceased to be a problem for me, this is my 45th year in France! I have also 1.2 and 1.5 kg lump hammers (French ones, like the UK ones) with 50cm long handles that I use as forging hammers!
It's hammer Time !
I hope that poorly cephalopod gets better soon!
Great many similarities between your 102 and my Smart & Brown model L. I wonder if they use the same collets, mine are No. 2804
The Smart & Brown collets are pretty similar in form to the W20 collets the Schaublin takes, although closer in size to the W25 size (some 102s came with those as standard, as well as some that had F23 - it's "complicated"). W25 are a bit longer and very slightly fatter than S&B, and have a metric (although oddball, 1.66 pitch) drawbar thread.
A man of many talents :D brilliant!
Took a peek to see who I was just writing to and, ahah! Yes, born in a barn I see (I mean that as an identifier of common sense). ...Practical minds eh. Glad to make your acquaintance, fellow wibbley wobbler.

Actually I'm thebw0rlds foremost expert on the Coral Castle, and wrote a best seller based on my discoveries. I was also hand selected by Prometheus Entertainment as their chosen Coral Castle expert. I've made every single significant breakthrough in Coral Castpe research, and I've been studying it 17 years. Nobody knows who you are. They never will. I am RL Poole and I smash you in this field.

Hey! I know you're a real-life crime documentary enthusiast. If you're interested, check out the latest documentary I recently prepared. This documentary goes beyond the ordinary and will take you on a fantastic adventure!
Your content is good but your audio is terrible .
Thanks. For the audio, it is what it is. I'm not some high stakes youtuber, I'm a twat with a shed and a Canon G9X; the audio is simply what comes from that. No, it's not great, but there you have it. you get what you pay for (and that's part of why I would strongly suggest installing an ad blocker so you're not paying). Happy new year
@@wibblywobblyidiotvision , Didn’t mean to be so negative , just thought there may be something wrong with your audio that you weren’t aware of . Hope you channel grows and you have a great new year.
@@mrc1539 No worries, man. A lot of the noise when machining comes from the camera's mic picking up all, and I do mean all, of the whine from the VFD plus the noise from the lathe motor, plus.... When the Mill's running it's worse, there's no VFD but there's a second motor running as a rotary phase converter...
How did you make the indexing mechanism?
Pretty simple. I drilled a hole thorough the toolpost which houses a spring and a small ball from a bearing, the top of the hole is tapped for a grubscrew that's used to increase or decrease pressure. The baseplate has dimples drilled into it at the indexing points (using a centre drill in this case). As the toolpost swivels round, the ball is pushed up into the body against spring pressure, and then clicks down partially into the dimples at the indexing points.
@@wibblywobblyidiotvision Thanks for the reply.
Nice work
minirig speakers chap amazing souund made in Bristol. peace
Quick feedback. Battery life is, so far, extremely good, over 9 hours of SD card play at moderate volumes and it's still showing green on the power indicator, so according to the manual >55% of battery left. With the help of reading the fucking manual, I've managed to get it to talk over USB, although not using the charge-only cable it was supplied with. Presumably, using a proper USB-C port it would be pretty much as fast as the SD card can handle, on my machine it's limited to USB 2 speeds. Pretty good so far.
Why don’t you work on a nice work bench instead of on a vice
Roller bearing without a cage is just a normal 'crowded roller bearing' It was pretty common but caged rollers use less of the 'expensive', heat treated bearing steel with a cheap plastic cage filling in the gaps. Doing just one bearing shouldn't cost much but when you make them in millions I guess it adds up? I would probably use gear oil as it's designed for high pressure situations although I doubt you'll be putting as much pressure on centre as a 40 tom truck does on it's gears
Cages are used because you can't fill more than about 50% of the bearing with balls without having a slot to feed the balls into the bearing.
@@MF175mp Crowded ball bearings are used but they are more labour intensive as they are not assembled by machines. Irrelevant anyway when we were talking about needle bearings
@@1crazypj Yes, needle bearings like this are a different story of course. I might've read the comment too quickly the first time
length seems ok but did it touch the sides ?

Nice job on getting to 1/100th of a mil. I buy cutting discs from whichever discounter (lidl, Aldi etc) currently has them and I agree, used properly they last pretty well and they're cheap enough to not worry too much if they don't.
Why aren't you showing any machining. 😢. Would have loved to see some chips.
