Ok having been a machinist years ago, I think I can make a couple of suggestions to help improve on your driver. Where you re trying to drill the - C - on the drill press. You need a #2 Morris Taper ( looks like you're at about the 13/16" diameter) Also an old friend who i had a automotive shop, where he rebuilt transmissions had a brass driver to drive in the seals, very similar to your idea, but about 2½". He put a 3/4" thick clay plug in the bottom that went next shaft ( measure the height of your shaft, and put the plug a ¼" deeper. Then melt some brass pieces,and pour it in as a seal. Heat the brass tubing with a torch to make it adhere. Then drill out the clay plug. Then measure the length you want,. Cut it to length. Then pour in sand, or BB SHOT. Then get press in clay to fill the end about ¼" from top and top it off with melted brass. Also wrap a piece of spring wire around the bottom. To keep it from mushrooming and potentially messing up the seal. Thnks for your awesome videos and ideas on fixing these contraptions.
Man I wish I had a lathe and you around to show me how to use it! I have a bunch of ideas on specialized tools that I want to make but I need someone like you with the expertise to help me! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video Chip. Thank you for providing the measurements for the pipes.
Thanks for watching another one, Shane!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching, Joe!
Good little vid Chip ... Thx
Thanks for watching another, Eddy!
Nice tip, I did not have the Nut wrench for the spin tank.
I cut a 14 inches Chinese made pipe wrench. It worked fine plus the 5 lbs hammer.
You do what cha gotta do. Thanks for watching!
