So funny to watch Andy as a sidekick instead of the main man. LOL I have to admit, i was also scared for you doing the parting tool with that amount of brass spinning that quickly with nothing but some rubber holding it steady. 🙂
Good job lad. Learned something today. You can have a extra 10 min tea break today. .But Don,t expect treats like this all the time. .Cheers from Western Canada 🇨🇦.
Nice explanation on using a small lathe. I enjoyed explanation of truing round stock, taping to adjust 1/2 the error, setting the bed and not cutting off the finished product and throwing it about the shop. Don’t ask how I know about that! Only comment I have is the outdoor sound quality was disappointing. Andy should know better! Please keep the subtitles/cc. Sometimes I have problem with language- grandparents were from Scarborough, parents from Canada, I’m in the USA for 60 years. Thx Ken
Hi Paul, so glad you like this style because this is what I'm aiming for... them are literally thousands of channels that show you how to do things by the book or on top notch equipment, I want to show practical engineering anyone can do, so aim to use layman's terms wherever I can..
@@NigelTomlinson maybe I will be able to find you soon Nigel. I'm and old sailor, and Army Vet, even still riding Motor bike, But me old sense of humor is likened to Alf Garnet LOL
If it is a standard size cutless bearing would it not have been better to ream out the holder slightly so in the future it would be easier to buy a new bearing that fitted, despite having a spare? Otherwise it will be necessary to machine each new cutless bearing.
Hi Neil.. Yes you are right, however, as nice as the housing is its not a machined part and was impossible for me to line it up in my small lathe. the decision was made to turn down the bearing itself as it will be a good few years before it needs changing again and then they have the spare.. when the time comes it will be very easy to turn down the next pair.
Hi Nigel from Northern California. Your channel is a welcome addition to UA-cam. Enjoy watching lathe work. Don't think there is another channel showing work like you do. Well wishes. Andrew
Nigel I will be honest, despite the fact that I had no idea what you were talking about BUT your particular brand of witchcraft fascinates me and the hook is in,, Im sub'd and looking forward to at least trying to understand some of what you say. Im a wood butcher by training and Scotsman by birth so your 10 thou out is just called bawhairs to me/us 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the video, a great share 👍
If that cutlass bearing had a 1/4" thick rib on it that would fit very nicely into the open slot on the housing, I think that could be better than the 3 grub screws. Or not ??? Just a thought. :-))
Wow, brilliant! So the bearing is clamped to the housing. The rubber sleave looks to be grooved? Does the prop shaft just sit in the rubber sleave and get lubricated by water sitting in the grooves?. Never seen one of these broken down before...
The cutless bearing is a standard size so by machining it down it is now a none standard size. Would it have not been better to machine the cutless bearing housing to take a standard size bearing. As it stands Andy will need to get the outside of a new bearing machined every time it has to be replaced once he has used the spare.
It's a great point John and we did discuss it, however the housing, although very nice, i not a precise casting and would be very difficult to get straight in my lathe, even with the 4 jaw chuck, secondly, de to the gap that makes up the clamping system would mean i would be making interrupted cuts which adds to the risk of something going wrong.. so as there was enough to make a spare we chose the route we did... and I'm always here to make 2 more when they need them :)
Very nicely filmed and explained. thanks.
Wow, nice! Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more videos. 👍
well done cobber always a pleasure watching you do your thing
Fabulous work
im with you on the scary last cut off buddy. You chose well, safety is best.
Nice to see how it is done

Not as scared as I was lol.... as for Andy he was great but I wish you could see Melissa giggling behind the camera 😆

Why thank you... 😊 the kettle is on 🫖

Great stuff Nigel.
To someone who cannot properly put a nail into a piece of wood, I find your talent amazing and your projects so very interesting. Keep on posting.
Yes, good call using the hack-saw. I was expecting you to dimple the bearing at the grub screw points. I enjoyed watching!
Thank you sir 🙂. I have of course done that but didn't record it...
Piling on here...nice work and well done episode!!
Thank you Bill much appreciated 😊
I like your videos-as they show to fix things with tools that many of us have in our own garages or workshops. Thank you!

Beautiful work!
Nice job!
Fascinating.
Yay Nigel! Exactly what we wanted to see! Great video!
Thanks to Andy & Melisa for introducing me to your channel, . I'm in Swinton Manchester, so hope to one day get to your shop Nigel.
You literally round the corner John.. and you would be most welcome

@@NigelTomlinson Not yet been able to find you Nigel even though I've looked around every corner near me 🥲
Very interesting stuff

Did you finish the spare bearing and check fit it before fitting the 1st one into the cutlass bearing?

Cheers,cheers,and cheers on a job well done. BUT I've been hoodwinked. Hoodwinked I say. You were supposed to be a welder. Not a master of choosing.
You need to stop calling bronze brass!
