For the record, your videos are NEVER to long.
Too!
The time just vanishes as I get both education and relaxation. I always think, 'Hang on, that couldn't have been half an hour [or whatever]! We were just getting started.'
Agreed
verbal diaree
I second this motion! 😎👍
Hi Keith, thanks for taking the time to film the process in such detail, we really appreciate it!
This channel is a classroom - provides in depth 1st-order understanding for non-machinists regarding the technical aspects of machining plus safety, and workplace ergonomics.
Keith is an excellent instructor who instinctively knows when to stop and explain
Indeed. Keith's videos convinced me I could do this as a hobby about 2 years ago. One of the best instructors, and his style just works for me personally.
Wearing gloves ua-cam.com/video/4RcV9rH89Lo/v-deo.html on any Lathe mill Drill Press is just dangerous as they can get caught and drag you in for a world of pain. So please revise your comment about safety.
You have to be kidding!
All my shop teachers were like him.
Very interesting. Takes me back to my own apprenticeship in the 1970’s as a fitter turner in a very large ship repair yard.
The dry dock could accept 25,000 ton ships. I was at that time working on lathes the size you are using and making new valve spindles, square left hand thread double start and all manner of items brought in for replacement from the fitters on board ship.
My father and his team however were making amongst other things tailshafts for ships on massive lathes. A rough forged 16” diameter steel bar over 30 ft long would arrive and they would turn this into a prop shaft 12 inches plus in diameter complete with tapers and end threads. The process was awesome and no DRO to help just outright skill. I wish I could go back to the 70’s and document it all it just seemed so routine at the time but I know now how special those skills are.
You are doing what Leo has been doing .... rebuilding a exact duplicate of the parts that will be historical and brand new and improved .... amazing workmanship .... all of the people should have a ring of honor dedicated to them on this Historical Sailing Ship " Tally Ho " .... for she should last another 100 yrs .... she should sail and then be retired to be admired by thousands for what work you did on her with these videos showing your expertise on the work done out of love for maintaining apiece of history .... thank you Sir ....❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ....
I didn't know about this channel until the Tally Ho project linked to it. But, wow, am I glad they did. I really enjoy watching master craftsmen at work. Truly a fantastic channel. Thank you so much, for putting the effort to bring us this content! I, for one, really appreciate it!
Nice! I didn’t know about Tally Ho until Keith did a repair for Leo’s threading machine myself. Delighted by all the craftsmen on UA-cam who share their time and skills with us.
Have you the time to check his backlog of vids? I found him, went back and caught up in 3 days. That was 5 years ago, might take 5 days now!
Ditto!
Fabulous Keith! Took me back 50 years to my apprentice machinist days. I remember we had slatted duck boards on the floor to keep your feet up out of the swarf and catting oil.
Keith, one thing you may want to consider is making only one change at a time. I noticed you changed the lathe speed and the feed rate at the same time. One of the lessons we learned in aviation is to make only one change at a time...when making multiple changes at the same time you can't tell which change did what.
Loving this series! You explain everything in a simple way and take time to make a quality video. This is the kinda stuff UA-cam was made for. Can't wait to see it working and on the Tally Ho!
Not sure why, however I can watch a craftsman do there thing all day long. Thanks for sharing
Speeding up makes sense. Similar to a motorcycle on railroad tracks. Faster you go, smoother the ride.
Who rides a motorcycle on railroad tracks?
Awesome as Always... Pleasure to watch
Yes 🎉 always ready to watch
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while Keith. I am an amateur home machinist, I assume many others are too who watch these. I learn a lot watching you work and have gained inspiration for projects which I might have not otherwise given much thought. 👍👍
I've always loved the sound and pace of metal lathe work. Very relaxing...
You should make something for the shop from the old shaft. Just a reminder of such an awesome project, for years to come.
I was thinking along the same lines, perhaps turn it into a prop shaft for another classic boat.
@@myleftthumb2294
difficult to do as its material is not known ok its steel but what steel . for a prop shaft made from unknown sock its not worth the risk else it could bite you in the bum
@@stuarthardy4626 Ah yes, but safety in a lamp stand thingy
@@snowgorilla9789 A lamp shaped like the capstan!
The boat is getting close….
Afternoon from UK Keith, a nice little turning project
Great video Keith, thanks for taking the time to put it out. The yacht has quite a testimony, I feel fortunate that I was able to witness its evolution. When Leo first got it, i remember thinking 'this kid has lost his mind', well I'm eating crow now.
I've read some of the comments, seems to be a lot of armchair machinists in the peanut gallery, bless their hearts. I'm ashamed to remember that I used to be an expert too, now I'm wise enough to know better.
For whatever reason, I saw this video on You Tube and didn't get a posting notification but viewed it. First time this happened. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking the time for these videos and producing them with great quality.
Always fun to watch Keith do a big project on the lathe. Feels like i'm back in school.
I loved the comment at the end.... "glad that is done, and I didn't screw up"
I and I am betting every shop person has had the same feelings. I had a job cutting large diameter fine threads in stainless steel and it was nerve wracking .... my job was worth hundreds but the part was worth thousands ... messing up would be very very bad.
as brian said below, your videos are never too long! i will add that your editing is great as are your explanations
Nope video not too long, love watching the craftsmanship 👍
Great to watch a skilled lathe craftsman so confidently perform a detailed project such as this. You make it look easy.
Keith, you should add an "extended tip"live center to your arsenal so that you won't need to change your tooling in the middle of a cut like you had to during the earlier part of this video (before 11:55). You might also try *adding* weight firmly to the part or even the tool holder to change the natural harmonic to something other than what you are getting when chatter occurs -- sometimes that works, though your solution works too. Definite thumbs up for this video!
Brings back highschool shop memories - on a smaller scale, of course. Fascinating. 😊
Fantastic! The long length format suits me well. The ability to sit down to dinner and enjoy. Especially if Tally Ho is involved. Really really enjoying the videos!!
Thinking about the length of the video is appreciated. Maraton videos tends to be put aside, and sometimes forgotten.
Good morning Keith! Thanks for the videos and have a great weekend!
Super awesomeness extreme!
Way to go Keith.
You are The Doctor of Machining!
Looking good!
Happy Friday Georgia!⚙️🛠⛵️🦜👍👍👍👍✌️
Kieth, I have learned so very much from watching you and using the resources available at your web site. Thanks to you I have a shop full of old and vintage tools, from hand planes to my walker turner drill press and my south bend 9 c. All work flawlessly and have been restored by using information you made available. Thank you.
I’m glad I ain’t the only one up early! Thanks Keith
I'm up late...
I'm up late...
Just before lunch here , perfect timing for a break 🙂
One thing that 20 years in the US Navy did for me was make me an early riser.
There are a few of us watching from different time zones all around the world. Why weren't we shown and told like this in our student days?
If nothing else you've got all the steel-wool you could ever need. :)
Lookin' Good !!
Great to see this, well done.
I love your attention to detail on this.
I can't wait to see this in working order on the Tally Ho
Keith, before you cut the thread double check the original shaft for the 55 deg./markedly rounded Whitworth thread form. You may have to make a new nut, if you use the now common 60 deg. thread form.
I think the plan all along was to cut new nuts and matching thread on the shaft. There really is no need to preserve the exact thread type. Diameters and lengths? Sure, that's structural. Thread type? Not necessary.
Thank for sharing, great project.
I could watch you work all day, facinating.
I used to do jobber work for a company that built roll formers so I turned a lot of hard tough materials. I found this type of metal always cut better with coolant running on it. Dromus being my my preffered Moose Milk.
That's going to be way more accurate than the original and should make it work better for the new owners. Great job again Kieth.
Hi Keith, I know as much about engineering as a pig knows about holidays but man I love watching your videos and they’re never too long for my liking🙏
Some experts in the field prefer to turn long shafts cutting from the headstock end towards the tailstock, look up the work of "David Wilks" in England on youtube.
On the insert question, details of speeds and feeds should be on the back of the insert pack, or failing that the chip breaker specs should be in the insert catalogue, for your use buying the right insert is better than getting a generic insert buying by shape only. There is a tremendous amount of research done in chip breaker design done reputable manufacturers and it would be a shame to ignore it. Certainly chip breaker designs are more important than going by the insert shape, which only really denotes access and economy not how it cuts.
As usual - a wonderfully informative video of how these jobs are done . All the best from Oakville Ontario Canada
Cracking video Keith thank you 😊
was good to meet you at the steem show. keep up the shows. thanks for the show.
I enjoyed watching these videos much more than I did the capstan casting videos. The whole process seems much more refined and professional.
Keith is certainly more polished and is a natural with regard to positioning shots and being in front of the camera.
Thankfully, not all presenters have his skill or else I’d never get anything done.
Another fine video for the archives. Thank you for taking the time
Great work, thanks for sharing 👍
It's looking great!
Cool stuff. Love to see the details!
Love the video Keith !!
Nice progress today. Looking good. Thanks😊
Well done as usual.
Excellent work ! 👍🏻👏🏻🤩
Keith, did you mention the material you are using? It appears to be carbon steel, but I would have thought the engineer would have specified stainless for the marine environment.
Great Job
Thank you Keith!
Looking forward to the taper lesson : ) Thanks as always!
Another great video Keith. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy all your videos Keith, very much indeed! Most of them I have to watch twice.
There’s something about your voice & the spinning metal - that for me is like being at the hypnotists! 😂😂
I nod off regularly & my missus laughs at me coz it’s regular as clock work watching your videos.
So when I wake up I have to go back & start again, to catch up on the bits I slept through.
At least it helps with your views count! 😜😂
If you ever retire you could have a second career as a hypnotist. 😜😂😂👍
l am a day late but thanks very much Keith....
Old F-4 Shoe🇺🇸
thank you Keith
Thank you for sharing.👍
Great video, Keith.
The tapering is going to be something else.
Thanks Keith
My goodness me, that was fascinating, thank you 😊
I feel like I am getting a personal tutorial on the challenges of making a shaft. Thank you!
Hey Keith great video like the way you explain things and not edit out the unsuccessful things. Great.
excellent vid love what you do!
Keith has a talent for explanation he never get lost in word salads: the point, the whole point and nothing but the point.⚙😀🗜
Thanks for sharing 👍
A southern gentleman master craftsmen
Thanks for this next installment. A lot of work to get a video like this ready...probably as much left on the cutting room floor as on the shop floor.
Looking forward to the next one.
Looking good 👍👍👍👍👍
Super interesting. Thanks! 🇨🇦
💙
SO relaxing. 🙉
Like watching golf. 😁
Love ure videos. I always learn something new
Love your videos and your craftsmanship is awesome!! Thank you for sharing both. I hope you are training an apprentice ? Take it from an ild school millwfright In these times of automation your skills will fade away, the world today changes so quickly the true essence of our Crafts fades into history with a chance of being lost forever. God bless you sir
I have been subscribed since the first capstan video (and to Windy HIll Foundry, too). My wife asked what it's about, and I said he uses old machines to make parts for other old machines.
G’Day from Australia 🇦🇺
Very cool.
Just a memory, my dad was a shop mechanic at a textile mill one of my things I thought I was a big shot was taking my pocket knife and picking the chips out of the soles of his boots. A parent today would get into trouble giving a pocket knife to a child that young.
Yes indeed, no pocket knives. Even a drawing of a pocket knife in school will get a boy sent home. I had a pocket knife when I was six years old like every boy did in those days. Times sure have changed from those carefree days in the forties and fifties.
With a pocketknife, I first learned about putting a sharp edge against something I wished to cut. While that happened more than 70 years ago, those lessons have applied ever since to cutting both metal and wood using all sorts of sharp edges in all sorts of machines. A pocketknife is most educational.
Damn was looking forward to seeing the tapering! But the turning down was great to watch
ALso consider the placement of the steady rest. Look into the science of musical instruments, specifically wind chimes and percussion keys. When the steady rest is at a null point, it does not dampen the vibration.
And I just learnt something else! Thanks
Nice,very impressive 😎😎😎👍👍👍
It's a joy to watch you work Keith, and your video's are never too long.
I got a technical question, I taught my self working on a mini lathe, and for 99% it's brass I'm working with, so we're talking a mild metal.
But that shaft is a very hard steel, wouldn't it be better to work with a liquid coolant?
so why or why not would you use a liquid coolant, as you sometimes see lathe workers use?
12:10 - Sharpest point = least chatter.
12:47 - Let it chatter for now and use the pointiest cutter you have for the finish cuts.
18:22 - No spring cut on return; that insert is doing a very nice job.
30:19 - It takes a while to remove a thou with emery cloth.
32:55 - Clock on the wall reads 3:25; hope that's PM.
Hey Keith! I'm not a machinist - not even a bad one, and I know you're a very experienced one, but I have to ask you this: I always get very anxious when you get your hands close to the piece being turned on the lathe. Maybe it's the shot angle, but sometimes I see you getting very close to it. I know that nothing will happen, otherwise the video would probably not be published, but please be careful!! Thanks for the great videos!!
appreciate it!👌👌👌👌
Nice to know I’m not the only one who hates walking on chips!
If a video is interesting, then it can't be too long. This one was interesting 🙂
Good morning
I have a small southbend 9x36 lathe with basic knowledge. Obviously, I am not questioning you, but I was surprised you’re not using cutting oil.
put ya work in on this one!!
I love watching a professional at work. I also enjoy watching your videos. ❤
Hail the algorithm!
#TallyHo!
