Another good one!
Thanks George!
great job!
Thanks AG! i appreciate ya!
That's the manliest carriage stop ever.
Lmao...it came with the lathe 😊
Did you have an earthquake there? lol The saw is indeed the fastest at material removal. :-)
My camera mount leaves a bit to be desired :) Hows the last 1/3 of the concrete coing along? Thanks for dropping in Brian
How did you fair in the storm? At our place the eye went directly over the house. But we only had cosmetic damage. By the way, nice video. We like you work.
So glad to hear that Glenn, I forgot, you were on the front lines down there. It skirted just east of me but caught the west eyewall...thank goodness I caught the "good side" of the storm. I had some damage around here, not severe...I was lucky....glad you were too
Nice work. When you paint it black, it's easier for us to see in the video. Abom never does that and he should.
I really appreciate that you liked the vid, thanks for watching and consider subscribing - ATB~ Richard
Can you make video on making airsoft sniper piston and cylinder also?
I dont own an air rifle, if a customer asked me to make one I probably could....hard to say not knowing what the parts look like
Makin Sumthin From Nuthin thank you.
Try to make a lathe on the lathe. :D
PS: It's unclear how you bozo'd the thread. It screwed on fine. And you just gave it a chamfer. Was it because you engaged it manually, thus making the spiral start in different places? Something like a weird double helix? Too thin teeth?
It screwed on great until I (fill in the blank) 😖
Did you turn it the wrong way and roll-over the thread? I'm really not sure what you did. It just looks like a normal chamfer. Maybe the video doesn't show it as well ?
Great video Rich. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joe, hows the restoration coming along?
Hey Rich. Well my buddy made the new bushing for the lead screw direction gear box. I will show that in the next video I make on it. Had a coworker pass away and another friend pass so have not had a lot of time. Also been putting a new sacrificial top on my cnc router to make some yard art, sign and other things that pay a little money. Think I will do some video on that as well if anyone is interested. Just hope no one thinks I forgot about them. It has been close to 90 degrees the last week and a half so my shop is miserable. Sure am glad fall is here! (A little sarcasm there) :-)
Joe
Sorry to hear about your friends, my condolences. There was a death in our family this week too :(
Look FW to your videos Joe
Thank you Rich. Sorry for your loss as well.
Hello,
Can you give me your email so I send you some pictures with a part that I want to replicate?
Thank you.
Hello there Richard
Another great video with some accomplished Lathe work, which we always enjoy watching and learning from.
See Mr Bozo also makes a visit (hopefully, now and then) to Your shop as well. Takes a man to admit that. No problemo.
Just some clarification on Your first 28 TPI Reverse mode Thread Cutting. We have a Metric Lead Screw and cut all our Threads with the Half Nut fully engaged, till termination. Wonder how we would be able to cope with Your method of reverse cutting when we have to get exactly to the start position each time. Any suggestions on overcoming that hurdle, please.
Your finished Adaptor looks like the one on the right.

Thanks aRM, I used a carriage stop to bring the threading tool back to the exact same location for each pass.....I suppose you could try it and see how it works...if at all. Its the only way I know how to thread to a shoulder. I couldnt imagine threading with the 1/2 nut engaged the entire time unless I had a clutch to stop the lathe quickly. Your guess was correct! 😊
Now that U mention it, we do have a Foot Brake which we use for our Threading Stops. Reckon we could give that a go and practise some to get properly acquainted with both our machine and the sequence of ops.
Thanks for the response

Keep me posted if it works for you
Yes, Sir. will do

What's a custom job like that cost?
Complexity & tolerances required play a large role in pricing
With all the "confessing" you just did I figure you can skip church for today and next week !!
I think it was you who wanted the bloopers.... 🤔 Hurricane irma had passed over me just 2 days before I made this vid....was pretty stressed out honestly. It was reflected in my work. Was lucky to still have a shop.
Your "friends" would be very interested to hear 5 minutes of your experience with IRMA
My last hurricane video a year ago had mixed reviews....so decided on not doing any more. I am not not famous enough for people to be interested in stuff not shop related
Nice video Richard and great part. I have screwed up many many threads in my day 😳. Thanks for the great video, I enjoyed it.I left you a message in your YT messages, check it out when you have time. Sorry for the late response, I've been real busy. Steve Summers
Thanks Steve, appreciate the kind words....it was a fun project. Making mistakes is part of machining....thought I would show it (you have a reply waiting when you get home tonight)
Hey Richard, got your message and sent you another. check it out when you are free. Thanks
Aw I watched the whole thing just to see it installed, nice job. Now please do a video of it being used and why it was made.
Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith
I made it for a customer who manufactures silen*cers for Airsoft rifles. It was immediately shipped out
Great work, Richard. You prove that even us home shop crowd can still make great parts. Keep it up
Thank you sir :)
Nice video, the part looks great! My wife always looks at me like I'm crazy when she catches me watching machining videos, lol. Can't help myself, those machine tools are hypnotic!
Thanks, they are facinating machines. Its nice to see a part come together from a piece of bar stock
Great job Richard.
Steve
Thanks Steve, that was a nice challenge for me 😊
Those inserts worked lovely on the aluminium, anything I've tried that's not HSS makes a dogs dinner of the stuff lol
When you removed the piece to cut it, (what I would've done too, less kerf) you could have put a pencil in your tailstock and brought it into the piece to catch it from falling off :)
I get good results with carbide on aluminum...lucky I guess :) I had considered parting off but just decided to use the new shop bandsaw....quicker too
Tricky little part to keep fully in line. May I ask why the reverse threading on the large end? I have always done all my threading in the normal field ? I spoke too soon. All the lathes I have worked with have a bolt on chuck,LOL.I do really like that lathe as it has so many good features. You should be teaching in a school bud. Nicely done throughout the process.All done and I am sure he will be damned happy with the results. Nice job bud ! Looks like machinist blue is finished eh and my guess is yours is the piece on the right due to the polishing you took care to apply.
I couldnt machine the thread to the shoulder threading "towards" the headstock, his sample did not have a thread relief on the 28 TPI side so did what I had to. The aluminum didnt put any stress on the chuck with that fine thread so I was OK there. I slammed the chuck on pretty hard before the job started. Thanks for the kind words....and yes I like the Lathe! :-)
I am not qualified to teach machining as I have only had a lathe for 12 months now....I just like sharing the projects I do on it. I am just a newbie :)
Well fella you have what it takes to teach. It is only about caring and process that you can clearly pass on to others. You met all of those and more bud. WOOHOO on you fella !
All it takes is that bit of forethought to make a project come together my friend. You apparently have a bunch of that up yer sleeve.
Thanks Dean, you are too kind. I appreciate ya :)
Great work Richard! I'm so impressed that you've gone from zero to paying customers in such a short timespan.
Thanks Rick, I love the challenge of making parts
was the lather in reverse when you did the chamfer ?
Yes Denis, I rarely use reverse...and out of habit chamfered normally and trashed the thread 😂
Good catch....you win the prize :)
Makin Sumthin From Nuthin I’ve done that a time or two lol
Sucks dont it Charles! LOL
"I'll give ya a hint... crap" nice hint rich x'D
LOL! The crash interrupted my train of tqhought :-D
Great, now I have another project to do. And I still need to get my lathe fixed and set up first.
Hope you get it fixed soon, thanks for watching :)
