watching this short again, I just noticed one other thing: there's still a tiny imperfection visible from machining the ball, which is more complicated a process than people might think (it's done with a drill.) the final result isn't smooth, but rather coarse, so he needs to sand it smooth afterwards; but this also means that he needs to make the ball bigger, because sanding takes a bit off; he made a test piece to measure such things. but that's still not it! when sanding, the piece rotates; but not all points of the surface rotate at the same speed! which means that if he doesn't take special care and takes this into account by adapting the timing, you end up with a shape that's no longer a ball after sanding, because the fastest moving area around the "equator" got sanded down more than the slower moving areas around the "poles." every single step requires this level of consideration in order to not "screw up."
Hello!!!! Love the music choice for this short. I have always enjoyed your artistic flair on the lathe. Heck, even this ball joint looks classy. Rock on, My_Mechanics! Can't wait for more videos!
What you’ve added are stress-risers to a ball joint. In other words, concentrated stress points to where load is focus its forces on. So when it eventually breaks, it will be from the area that you cut. There’s a reason why we don’t add features to anything experiencing transverse loads. In order to reduce or avoid that problem. Round out the cuts. Add fillet to any of the sharp edges. It reduces stress concentration on the cut areas. Also, we don’t cut in an X-pattern for a reason. We do circular ring cuts to avoid stress risers.
Welcome back beautiful!!! We missed so much the perfection of your skills and their results, from your "magic" hands...!!! Your videos were masterpieces always....!!!!
That looks like a sharp insert and i recognised the shiny reflective surface of the insert and i use them for aluminium. But they do well on the steel ball. Nice 👍
in this very case, you just saw him make a new one. 😉 did you know that you can subscribe and get to see videos on a daily by him? either become a member or find him at some place else which UA-cam doesn't allow me to mention and you get the most interesting videos with about half an hour runtime where you can truly see all the thought processes that need to go into making such parts, which is much, much more than most might think.
Bro, used you for a Short I‘m so impressed how nice and clean it is…. I Need to. Don‘t used moving pictures, only Screenshot. But wanna Tell ya 😊 You‘re a pro and do Beautyfull work. I love it. And its so well Done.
ahh, another reason why you needed the hole in the thread to be dead-centered! because I believe that the screw from this holding apparatus goes right through it; and when you machine the opposing groove, then you rotate the piece in it by 180 degrees.

Perfectly centred ball as it spins. Super precision.
It was mesmerizing as he started lathe. 😮
It's ez actually just indicate it in. Same way Everything is made perfectly on a large .
Like a chicken
It's not hard when you indicate it in
@@lollipop84858how is it indicated in if its positioning was welded in place?
Watching that spin was one of the most satisfying things I've seen on a long time.

Delete the video and reuplaod it with clean hands ;-)

Make new one

My favorite intro.....i like that song.. + your work is great to.....
Well done..keep going what you doing..greetings from Greece
It looks well attached but I still feel a slight sense of danger when looking at it. I love this jig, it tickles my brain!
I love lathe fixtures like this. We make a part at work that is a square base with an od threaded post coming out at an angle.
That's really cool! I figured someone just fired up a fancy pants 5 axis setup, but then again they had to do this 100 years ago too!! Very cool
I figured the whole blade would spin around the piece and make another pass on the opposite side
That looks like a sharp insert and i recognised the shiny reflective surface of the insert and i use them for aluminium. But they do well on the steel ball.
Nice 👍
How many hours did it take to design, calculate all the angles and fabricate that tool and machine that part ?
Around two days with all the filming.
@@mymechanicsinsights I'm not surprised at all. It's quite complicated
it also cost him one "ball"
my brain is smoldering just thinking about the geometry involved in this
I bet he didnt copy this idea from any other video👌👌 i love this i love making tools more than mechanical work
Something very satisfying seeing that ball perfectly centered like that.
My favorite Stones song! Can't wait to see the video!
It's a banger, but my pick can only be Paint it Black. If they ever do a door restore, I'll be ready.
Amazing! I love the car project but miss tbe restorations and.....i make a new one.....

Man's over here making ball joints...I love it.
You get l like for fucken the awesome music!!! And the brain storming as a old school metal worker!! 🤙 keep em coming brother.
That’s a wild fixture you got there buddy. It’s the 10 sticks of filler thats blowing my mind.
Prrfect music selection , mesmerizing spinning ball, beautifull weld.
I was wondering what that was for until i realised it's a suspension ball joint 😁
Maybe for the Z280😉
You got that right.
Good. I was about to make an impolite comment about putting unnecessary oil grooves in a tow ball. 😅
Good, it is not a horrible shift nob!😂
Nice little jig.
Thank you 😃👍
Very cool tooling, impressive.
my right ear really enjoyed this one
Красиво! Спасибо за идею.
Can you hear me knockin'? Looks like the original Xbox Logo on a stick lol. Awesome work
That is so weird! I have just been playing this song from Sticky Fingers over the past few days… Love it! Nice coincidence 😊
IMO their best album

Wait you're making your own Ball joints? Nice..
Wow, really cool man!

suspension ball joint by hand!? im hype for this
Where have you been ? We miss your work and ur videos ! This one is such a tease 😉
Ahh a droplet of water to quench my thirst. LOL

Top marks😊
Does this mean there's a car video coming soon?
Unfortunately some parts are delayed, might drop a regular restoration first.
Awesome, what is it for?
Some people will never realise how gansta that really is.
Am I the only one who hears this music and sees Joe Pesci at the Gold Rush Jewelry with Dominic and some desperados from back home?
Very nice, can i have one with a flared base?
Awesome again Boss, Plz update about the new episode
Yes! Back to basics, clean machining! Now don't go painting it yellow!
How the heck did you center a thing like that so perfectly?
прикольно. а для чего?
Did you machine a ball joint? And does it have grease or oil channels?????? 😊 I think you have a great idea here!!!!!
Its an old ideas that’s existed for decades and the way he cut it into an x pattern had just shorten the lifespan of the ball joint.
Yes I machined this whole part, exact copy of the original.
Самая лучшая, будь это шаровая опора в мире😮😂
Keep posting shorts of the Datsun restore!!
Nice
Oh nice surprise to see the channel name. Is this for the Datsun?
I have a fair idea this car will turn out much better than new... this is for the Datsun, right?
Thumbs up for the music.
I would to see a super slow mo video of this, just du see how a straight line end up that complex.
I believe youre going to harden it next or no need?
Amazing
Bro is The Machinist
How the hell do you get it perfectly centered like that?
Super bro 👍
Very nice
Fajny kawałek 😊
How did you manage to center that
😳 ууфф я подумал это Дилдо для Токаря😮
I really need to see this in super slow mo
The reliable rectum plunge designs still got bite.
Почему нет? Основную функцию он не потеряет. Еще надо бы использовать смазку, устойчивую к воде. И тогда он прослужит долго
