Thank you and thanks for watching! It's a beautiful thing when someone loves their craft enough to do it in their free time as well

Thanks for watching! It was fun to go all out and combine different materials

Thanks for watching!

Thankfully they are not expensive compared to other spindle bearings, but at the moment I'm having issues with heat. I may have just over packed them with grease. The ones I replaced may not have been original and theres a chance they are not the proper spec, but if you dig online it seems every Clausing has different bearings. They probably just used whatever was convenient. Changing the spindle bearings is a pain in the ass so I would try to rule out the noise coming from the other bearings in the pulleys first. Getting the preload right in the spindle bearings in a home shop setup is also not an exact science and could be my problem as well.

🙈I figured most honest people could relate 😂

I plan on doing an update video at some point going over some issues I've run into after some time on the machine and some upgrades I want to make. I'll try to work that in as well. These videos already ran much longer than my usual projects. The biggest issues on digging into any of these old machines are around the bearings and I would hesitate to even begin to present myself as an authority on that topi, but I'll certainly speak on my experience and what my thought process was on things like lubrication and preload.

@@kelsey_watson I look forward to seeing it.

Good luck! It was a lot more work than I thought it would be but mine was also a lot dirtier than most. Thankfully, it was in decent shape under the grime and surface rust

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thanks! Its just an old Shars a friend gave me and I decided to paint it black

Thanks for watching! The Watson boxes are just apple crates I made for myself to store tools and materials. Tried to make the logo kind of a retro stencil and I'm glad they caught your eye in the background. Very cool that you worked at IBM. My next machine restoration is somewhat IBM adjacent. I've heard really good things about the Rockwells and I think they are a better machine than the Clausing even just down to the extra weight alone. I came across one right after I finished this mill, but I'm glad for the lighter machine because I had to get it into the basement lol

@kelseywatson1974 Thanks for your reply. I want to let you know why Watson caught my eye and how it was related to IBM. Thomas J. Watson is one of the original leaders in IBM. I didn't realize your last name is Watson. Have fun with your adventures.

Thanks for watching! And good call I will do that!

Turns out there is a language option somewhat buried in the video details that you have to select in order to enable the auto captions. Of course this is not labeled as such at all, but thanks to your comment I was able to figure it out and go back in and fix all of my library. Much appreciated! Spread the word!

Seems to only have worked on some videos not including this one 🤔 I will try to get to the bottom of this

Thanks for watching! Is that the rear cover? Or the front? I don't have manual handy at the moment but I instal both in part 3 which is out now!

@@kelsey_watson It’s the sheet metal plate that goes in between the knee and the Y axis table. it’s to prevent chips from going down on the knee gears.

@@qzwqsy You have to drop it into the slot on the knee before your install the yoke and Y lead screw. It just fits loose and gets pushed and pulled by the nut

Looks like I forgot it when I first installed the yoke and must have went back and added it. I missed that in the editing!

@@kelsey_watson thanks for the update!

@@stevemarschman3202 I believe that is only on later models. My knee bearings are pressed directly into the casting without a removable sleeve. Thankfully, they realized how stupid this was and changed it. Machined bearing drivers would have been a good idea though.

@@RustyInventions-wz6ir Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Certainly a unique sound!

Shop builds like that are the best! And you get to enjoy them every day

Thanks for watching! It was a fun project but I kinda cheated compared to the process of making a real one out of wood. Maybe I'll attempt real luthiery in the future. I hope your building is going well!

How would they pronounce that in England? 😂

@@bartraeven2966 thank you! 🙏🏻

@@EngraversNearMe I use a brand named Smart Strip but I think there are other citrus based strippers that are similar. Fantastic stuff. Way better than the old aviation stripper and a lot less caustic

It's a very deep rabbit hole! Beware 😂

@@gary.solexa I appreciate the comment and apologize for the wait! I’m trying to get it out soon. Editing can be painful!

@@kelsey_watson No need to apologize! Give it the time it needs...

I used regular plaster of Paris just like you use on sheetrock then sealed it with a thinned PVA glue similar to Modge Podge but meant for hardening rotted wood because that's what I had. After that was just basic spray paints. Black primer and a metallic gray. The weathering was with just cheap water mixable oil paints. Basically I just used what I had around and experimented. I didn't know if it would hold up well so I didn't want to imply that I knew what I was doing 😂 It still looks great hanging in the garage for years with no climate control, but I don't think it would hold up very well outside in direct sun and rain.

Thanks for your reply! I think because I’m using mine outside I have to use weather seal on it every couple of years! Thanks again love your project !!

I'm happy with it so far! Great machine for the size. Getting used to the limitations having learned on a Bridgeport

@@radardoug it’s the best!

Thank you for watching and the comment! I really appreciate it. I'm trying to get more content out soon and more consistently. Stay tuned!

Thanks for watching, subscribing, and the kind comment! I am trying to get on track with posting more regularly again. I spent the last couple of years learning a ton and look forward to sharing more on this channel. Stay tuned! I have chosen the path of peace over the way of the coyote 😂

Thanks for watching!

@@sanyok7777 if it’s a duel voltage that does 110 it should have the diagram on how to switch it back. If not, swapping in another motor is pretty easy

I came to the same conclusion 🤫

Moving big machines still scares me so I am grateful that everything I have can come apart into manageable chunks. It came with some but I've also been tooling up. It unfortunately never ends with mill tooling 😂

Gracias por ver! Lo actualizaré pronto
