Sunday morning before church, cup of coffee. and a TUBALCAIN video, I'm in an earthly heaven. - Yeah, we repainted a few Earl Schibe paint jobs, when I worked in my Father-in-laws body shop. We had to charge extra for those. - A BRASS hammer and transfer punch mechanic. - I noticed your KBC coffee thermos. - I thought that line was a little close to your bolts. - If you plug that hole in the top of the vise and install a TUBALCAIN label, that would make it look better. My first thought was to install a ball oiler in the hole. - Another great video. Now I'll have another cup of coffee and wait for church, and your next video! Sorry if my comments are too long. I just feel like I'm having a conversation with a friend.
We need more Mr.Pete's in every state boards of education!! We will never make America strong again without properly trained machinists,and engineers.
I have restored two 6" Bridgeport milling vises. The left hand thread brass cylinder nuts are available at McMaster Carr for around $30. I sand blasted them instead of wire brushing just because it was faster and easier. I made new jaws using O-1 tool steel, but didn't harden them. If they wear out I will make another set and harden them next time. In a hobby environment, they really don't take much abuse. I've thought about making both aluminum and Delrin jaws, but have never gotten around to it. Machining the "V" grooves in your vise jaws was a nice touch. I didn't think of that. As always, I love your work. Thank you!
I envy the folk lucky enough to have had you as a shop teacher, Mr Pete. Love your videos.
5 am Christmas eve. Mr Pete is the gift that keeps on giving, thanks for making all the videos.
Not sure I will ever be able to go back and watch all of your videos but I will always keep current and I do go back often and pick through all of your great work and gifts you have left us here !!! Thank you for your efforts, I am getting to be a better machinist faster as a result !!
Would have never thought the part would move around so much under tension
„If you aren‘t there I won‘t be talking to you“. Wise words. Good thing I was there. 😀
So useful to see what you do & what you don't as I have a tendency to try & fix everything causing me to get so focused on something that doesn't matter such that the whole job drags on to the bad lands of never finished. Thank you for all you give.
12 years on youtube is a long time. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. Looking forward to another 12 years of Mrpete222 videos.
Thank you for all your videos. There's something very satisfying about watching an old piece of machinery being brought back to life.
Nice clean-up of the vice. I liked the final shot of you in your shop! Merry Christmas Mr. Pete.
Thanks for the tips and information on older style vices. Merry Christmas!
Quote "If you aren't there then I won't be talking to you" Mr. Pete 2017,,... nice one !
As ever, great work and presentation, thank you and happy x-mas!
Excellent Resurrection of another piece of Old Iron. Love it. Thanks again Mr Pete.
Mr. Pete you get to keep on teaching and staying sharp with each video. All the best to you and yours and looking forward to the next one.
Merry Christmas MrPete!!! Thanks for all of the great videos!!!
fantastic video, mr. pete - thank you! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I found the demonstration of the error caused by the vice interesting. Which then begs the question, if there is that much error how did machinists get past that error when that was the only vice available at the time? I know that tolerances have tightened up over time, I once worked as a draftsman with a well known hydraulic pump and motor manufacturer and their tolerances were beyond my understanding having come from a well known motor home manufacturer. This was in 1972/73 and I can only imagine the level of tolerance today is way beyond what we specified on our drawings then. Great video Mr. Pete, I love watching your videos.
