That is fabulous work, is the high speed pindle required as my olm lathe wont run that fast, but I'd love to be able to do this, also you must share how you get such a tight bend radius on the tubing, my atempts to do that just just buckle. Thanks
Thank you. Higher speed just gives a nicer finish and obviously speeds the job up, im sure most lathes would work. The tube bender i had to make myself as the comercial benders dont get near, the tube must also be anealed before bending or it cracks. Il have to do a video on the tube bender its simple but hard to explain without pics.
Thank you, the "foam sanding blocks" are just from my local diy store for less than £1. I can see lots on ebay if i search "foam/sponge sanding block", they are realy very usfull to have i use them on nearly every part i make.
Very awesome! If there is just one thing I have to mention for the sake of your own safety, then please be careful with wearing gloves while handworking your part on a lathe. The stories of people losing a finger or degloving a hand even on tiny machines this way have been repeated too often in my opinion. Anyways, much love!
Thank you. Yes! You are correct! i agree with every thing you say, and would advise anyone to do the same!! My exuse.. but its just been so cold in the workshop recently, and no hot water makes washing hands a real effort. You can probably see by my hands ive had more than enougth near misses. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, yes i had to make my own tube bender to get the small bend without crushing the tube. The tube also needs anealing or it just snaps before it bends tight enouth.
I was cringing when I saw your torch popping like that. You are running it way too hot. Probably your oxy is set too high. Back it off about 10% and adjust your flame to suit. You'll find that your joints will be much smoother with better control of the heat.
hmm not sure you watched the video, its a propane torch? just propane no oxy! and in the video i just use it to aneal the brass sheet. the torch i used for soldering the part is butane lighter gas. but i will do a boiler brazing video at some point.
Very nice logical approach. Batch making made easy and a functional end product. May have to look at another kit.👍🏼

Nice work . You did great job. I have questions what you use to polish brass. What is name of this foam . And also what you use with this foam

Excellent work nice bit of spinning,did you use a bending former to bend the lampost standard?

@@cringleengineering7688 Thanks for that info they're really good, & thanks for the reply, keep up the good work.
Graham.
@@cringleengineering7688 to avoid crushing tubes during bending, one can stuff them with fine dry sand, like the plumber also sometimes does.
Really nice dood! Thank you
Very nice work!
Well done now all you have to do is fit it to your model railway layout

Thanks to cheap Chinese lathes, people can start their own businesses without a huge outlay.
