I wish we had a scrap yard like yours. All of them in northern Illinois only buy, and will *not* sell. Seems like the rest of the country they buy and sell. It's frustrating... Great video, thank you!
I made Ric's oil can then used JB weld to attach it to a 4 inch round disc. It can be clamped the the carriage or drill press table with a spring clamp. Very handy! Thanks for sharing Mr Pete.
Nice Video :) You can still get the Amco BeCu sparkless tooling, even files, centerpunches and scribes. Still have a bunch of them around in the shop. They also give a nice conversation piece. I like the "this and that" format, please keep it up!
hi mr pete first of all thanks for the mention, the magazine is still in print and they also have a sister magazine called mode engineers workshop ,wich is as good with a lot of practical jobs thanks dave in the uk.
Hello MrPete, I use a magnet under my oil can and not in it. It does two jobs, keeps the can from moving and also pulls the chips to the bottom of the oil can and out of my brush. It was only a tip and not a suggestion!
Hi Mr Pete again.The spill proof bottle your design is excellent. I made half dozen of them and they work perfectly. The only thing I did extra. I made the smallest hole possible ( just sharpen a nail as pointed as one can) near the neck (the tube) as I found the fluid was backing up, not flowing in, as the air pressure building inside the can prevented the can filling. No thicker than ones hair. The other thing I did not do, Is purchase a chicken tin as I would have been tempted to mix it with rat poison before putting it out.best regards
Hi mrpete, "How it works" Go for it, I'm planing to enjoy it... I know that us junk ( We call it treasures ) collectors are a little misunderstood, but that doesn't stop us in any way, it's addictive. Thanks for sharing, Pierre
Good video. I would like to see some videos on how it works. Made a mill draw bar buddy wrench. Need to make that tuna fish oil thing. Looks like you found a SK socket. I have my grandfathers set, but it is missing a couple.
MrPete222, that handful of wrenches that you set aside as distributor wrenches are actually for accessing the bleeder screw on drum brake cars. I did enjoy this video and look forward to more in the series. I would also like to see the how it works series.
Hi Mr Pete always enjoying and learning from your videos, thank you. It is regrettable that in the days of the other Tubal Cain there was no you tube. That would have been quite something with the two of you. Wishing you well
At 4:05, those wrenches are to crack the bleeder nipples on brake cylinders to bleed that wheel's brake. Those wrenches come in all sizes and shapes and I still have a box of them.
Great stuff; thanks for showing us! I too have the sickness of buying old stuff that I might use... some day... Lots of it goes to use, and I have better built and better maintained and better improved equipment than most of the new stuff out there.
Could you maybe do a series identifying different materials and comparing their characteristics like hardness and machinability? Start with the naming system and what the names mean its made of. Go into detail of the different naming systems. I started watching when you were just doing tips and tricks and you inspired me to go back to college for manufacturing. I doubt if I'm the only one you have inspired but now you seem to be drifting away from what brought you fame. Think of us as your highschool students. After we watch all of your videos about how to run a lathe what projects would you want us to complete? You have shared a few videos on model engines, why not a project series of simple engines where we can watch and follow at home on a hobby lathe? Have you thought of going through the Dave ginery series? start with a charcoal furnace and work your way all the way through to a lathe. Your grandson could learn a lot and you could help get the younger generation started while having a lifetime supply of material for videos. Maybe do some videos on gd&t. I had thought of going through my school books and doing videos of my entire degree. If you have ever herd of a group called "ted" or ted talks in general; I'd like to see you on stage sometime describing your experience teaching and inspiring others.
I enjoyed the video, since it shows another collector's habit. I must admit to watching "Pawn Stars" a lot when it first came on the tube, but not lately. "How It's Made" and "The Woodwright's Shop" are the current favorites. Oh yeah, and "Modern Marvels", too. Tom
Neat video. Keep 'em coming. I like the variety. By the way, I'm not writing off DC motors quite yet. The pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers have given them a new lease on life with full torque at any RPM.
Mr Pete, I sure could use one of your Bridgeport plastic hand wheels! The wheel on my J-head has no knob and has an ugly crack on one of the spokes. I have a lot of antique tools to trade!
I'm afraid junk yards/garage sales and what we call carboot sales in the Uk tend to catch up with us men when we hit the 60 year mark. Its a thing you cannot escape. So we are not mad its just evolution. Love the video's keep em coming. Looking forward to a few more road trips as well when you get the time.
Dear Mr Pete Greetings from Canada. Keep making these marvelous videos!! I just thought I would let you know "Model Engineer" is in fact a very popular magazine all over the world, now having now been in print for over 125 years. It is published every 2 weeks so this gives an idea of the interest level on this subject. More recently a sister publication has come on as well, namely "Model Engineer's Workshop" which deals exclusively with equipment, tooling and techniques rather than actually building specific models etc. It has been in print I think for about 15 years and comes out once monthly. I hope this is of interest. Sincerely Paul Campbell
A while back, I saw metalworking books by Tubal Cain in my library. I was wondering if you were that Tubal Cain and had been about to ask. Question answered.
Those of us that spend our days at garage sales and scrap dealers should start some type of club or support group. My wife has given up on suggesting that I limit the additions to the dreaded "parts department", the place where all things that will be useful some day hide out.. Tony Port Haldock, WA
I very much like all the "stuff" you show us - I just hope that you continue to do so as I find it real interesting. Please don't forget that those of us that don't live in the USA often cannot see programmes such as you describe. I also enjoy the way you make and present your videos.
The ampco material was quite interesting, i've seen a block be drilled from the top, and see the drill coming out of the side. we used to call it aluminium bronze. Grtz, Ludo from Belgium. BTW, I like your footage a lot.
Great! Enjoyed the Stuff. You often talk about a video being long or too long but I keep wishing they were longer. Don't worry if it is too long, most of us know how to skip through parts of a video if we get bored.
I think the welding points on spot welders ar also made of beryllium copper. Tough material to machine, i made some parts for a client many years ago, and i still remember.
,,, front row, my regular seat,,,,, so true is the saying "one man's junk is another man's treasure,,,, and she said, that's not junk, I got it at a yard sale,,,,,
Hi Sir!!! It"s been a crazy summer and I haven't had much time to watch your awesome videos just wanted to say I think this series is going to be a favorite of mine just like all of your others!! and How its Made is The best thing on T.V in my opinion like always keep up the good work and have a Great Summer!!!!
The "Ford" wrench you picked up out of the box, looked similar to a cylinder wrench for radial engine cylinders. As you probably know the cylinders have a ring of nuts at the base that secure it to the crank case. They are hard to reach. The curve in the end puts the square hole for the ratchet or torque wrench out where you can get a grip on it.
The alu plate you've got there is made by ALCOA, U.S.firm i think. This is alu high strenght grade , an is milled both sides and as flat as they come. Good buy !
I really love these older videos, where you introduce yourself as Tubalcain and sign off as Tubalcain. Maybe its the recording but your voice is different in these older videos, lol your rants are great, talking about Mad Dog 20/20. The sickness you describe is really a pirate disease where you are constantly searching for plunder, I know all about it, as I have a serious case of it as well. Love these this and that videos, cant wait to watch them all. Always top notch content Tubalcain.
"some people don't read at all, they just watch pawn stars" That made my day Mr. Pete thanks! ...now off to try to single point some internal 1/4 80's wish me luck.
During rapid motion I see a double image of what's moving, but only on your videos, and only on the most recent couple. Do you have a new camera that may be set incorrectly?
Beryllium copper is still used widely in all kinds of products. Non-sparking tools in ATEX 0 to 2 environments, mould components, cryogenic equipment and so on. It's hazardous only when worked on (grinding, welding, thermal cutting, milling etc. ie. anything that could produce dust or fumes from the workpiece) as the beryllium compounds in gaseous form are highly carcinogenic to humans.
I know this is an older video, but it takes me time to watch every one you have. Those magazines were originally named "Model Engineers and Amateur Electricians" started in 1898 by Percival Marshall when it was determined that many laymen wanted to experiment with both of these subjects. Along about the '30's , I believe it was, that changed because electricity had become so commonplace, that there was no need to continue this incentive because the were more professionals doing this. I love collecting old magazines and books because I think we are going to lose this information and abilities and it is important to keep it safe.
RE: Spill-proof cutting oil pots If you can't get a "spill Master" or don't want to make one yourself from scratch, I strongly recommend going to a big toy shop and asking for spill proof paint pots. I picked up a set of 4 for $11. They are plastic and are see-though and even have a snap on lid. Try Google images under "spill proof paint pots" to see what they look like! I got the idea from "Tinker John" who has a You-Tube channel and has done some excellent multi-part (20+) series on building small steam engines from sets of casting (PM Research and Stuart). It's a great channel and I highly recommend a look. Sincerely Paul Campbell
fantastic bargains mrpete aluminum in the uk is bringing a good price scrap wise i used to collect the model engineer i learned a lot from it before i started work as a mechanic many moons ago keep the great videos up and will be looking out for the other videos
Hi i am 9 months new to the machining community. I work on a 3 axis bridgeport with dro, and 2 servos'. I am looking for a computer program similiar to the TRAK AGE 2 that will allow me to manipulate my program from home. I am sorry i have searched google for a couple hours and i am not finding anything that suffices. any help would be cool.
"How Its Made" is a Canadian TV show. It is one of my favorites, and constitutes at least one reason to keep a TV set in my home. It is a potent antidote for shows like "Kardashians", and other similar dreck.
They still use beryllium copper to make tools used in outer space...and a lot of aircraft bushings as well. It is dangerous if you grind it and make dust.
Great video. I think watching pawn stars is an old man thing as all of us seem to watch it. And that is strange considering that if you dig into where the experts come from you will see that the great distances are such that it only makes sense to film a lot of consultations all at one time so obviously it is all staged. I envy your source of scrap metal and old machinery. I live in south Texas so my projects have slowed down a lot with the arrival of summer, the opposite of your slowing down for winter. Make the videos, I am sure we will watch them. Thanks for sharing.
I live near Milwaukee Wi. My nephew-in-law is a re-cycler & fabricator who is nicely networked with industrial "waste" resources. If I request a desire or need of materials or components he usually comes through. Sometimes in laws are OK ! And I agree with the comments about Pawn stars being quite theatrical. They remind me of the classic Mexican pottery dealing approach.
That aluminum plate looks like mic 6 to me. It's made of cast aluminum. It's used for tooling plates because it is very stable. Don't try to weld it though. When you buy it, it is very flat and shiny on the outside. By the way, I read a story once about the invention of the electric car starter. With the old hand cranks, the engine would occasionally backfire when it was started, causing the handle to swing back violently. A friend of either the inventor or a auto executive was killed when he was struck in the head by the handle. This inspired the man to find a better way.
Thanks-I thought that machined like it was cast.. Not like some of that gummy rolled alum that does not machine well at all. I heard the same story. pete
Kettering also developed the breaker-point ignition system. He developed the automatic starter because a good friend suffered a broken arm from hand-cranking an auto engine. The friend eventually died from an infection related to the broken arm.
DC are just taking a new turn into brushless. High torque at low speed. As we move forward DC servo motors are becoming every more popular, so don't sweat it DC will outlast us both.
For the magnet in the can guy... If you want the magnet you can stick the can on one (an old speaker magnet would work well), and when it's time to clean out all those chips you can pull the magnet off the can and clean it right up! , But,,, I must say magnets that don't release, and chips spell, a big pain in the can (he, he) especially if it's a big magnet... :o) :o| O,
Beats watching some nerd unpack his X-box ! The AMPCO wrenches are made with a nickel aluminium bronze That's a neat oil container, if you can't get a beer bottle you can use an energy drink bottle (love 'em).
If you would like me to send an engine blueprint for a model airplane or a diesel or steam power standing engine just send me a message, my name's Peter but I'm in Australia and do model planes, cars and scratch built electric engines and circuits. I do love your and Adam "ABOM79" channels as we made a gas turbine for model jets about 7 years ago and I just got a lathe again that a drill press can swing over so I can do my own milling. Keep up with your videos I love them and never find them boring or long winded. Peter
Thanks Peter. Yes, send me planes for steam engine. Go to this video, TUBALCAIN LATHE VIDEOS 4th of July SPECIAL OFFER. At about the one minute mark, you will find my address & email. pete
I think its interesting tat you get 27000 views and only 800 can thumbs up or down you I think your right when you say people watch for pleasure not learning or planning on doing your current project I know I fall inbetween because I like your project videos as much as your other ones take care and good health
I too am a collector of materials and tools. I love it when I can do a project and not need to buy a thing to do it, rather gratifying.
You're right, collecting and keeping things, more than you will ever need, can be a problem. It's tough to keep the perspective.
I wish we had a scrap yard like yours. All of them in northern Illinois only buy, and will *not* sell. Seems like the rest of the country they buy and sell. It's frustrating...
Great video, thank you!

You can still get the Amco BeCu sparkless tooling, even files, centerpunches and scribes. Still have a bunch of them around in the shop. They also give a nice conversation piece.
I like the "this and that" format, please keep it up!
Hi Mr Peterson, You are right about the magnet problem, I suggest using a large nut or similar to weigh your oil can down :)
hi mr pete first of all thanks for the mention, the magazine is still in print and they also have a sister magazine called mode engineers workshop ,wich is as good with a lot of practical jobs thanks dave in the uk.
Hello MrPete, I use a magnet under my oil can and not in it. It does two jobs, keeps the can from moving and also pulls the chips to the bottom of the oil can and out of my brush. It was only a tip and not a suggestion!

You should send one of those handwheels to Keith Fenner so we don't have to see his patched up one anymore. ;)
I was headed to a scrap yard myself. "How It's Made" is the most fascinating show on TV. My wife can't stand it. LOLOL

if you glued some foam tool box drawer liner to the bottom of the spill proof tuna can it wouldn't vibrate or slide off your lathe or machinery.

I need one of those Ford wrenches for my 8n.
Kettering was also responsible for the lead in leaded gasoline and was in charge of the team that first synthesized CFC's.
good man
Love to watch these videos, keep them coming, please!
Thanks for watching.
Hi i am 9 months new to the machining community. I work on a 3 axis bridgeport with dro, and 2 servos'. I am looking for a computer program similiar to the TRAK AGE 2 that will allow me to manipulate my program from home. I am sorry i have searched google for a couple hours and i am not finding anything that suffices. any help would be cool.
Neat stuff!
The alu plate you got was probably ALCOA plate, which is milled and pretty straight
love how it's made
Loved the video!
"How Its Made" is a Canadian TV show. It is one of my favorites, and constitutes at least one reason to keep a TV set in my home. It is a potent antidote for shows like "Kardashians", and other similar dreck.
Those were "Brake Bleeder" wrenches ... not for distributors
Whoops.
I C Light can... memories of the Mon Valley, Donora Pa. and 1950's era "church keys" at City Park Thanks Ric! Dan
"How it's made" season 13 is on netflix right now if you have that.
They still use beryllium copper to make tools used in outer space...and a lot of aircraft bushings as well. It is dangerous if you grind it and make dust.
Great video. I think watching pawn stars is an old man thing as all of us seem to watch it. And that is strange considering that if you dig into where the experts come from you will see that the great distances are such that it only makes sense to film a lot of consultations all at one time so obviously it is all staged. I envy your source of scrap metal and old machinery. I live in south Texas so my projects have slowed down a lot with the arrival of summer, the opposite of your slowing down for winter. Make the videos, I am sure we will watch them. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, all those shows are scripted, staged and super cheap to produce.
I live near Milwaukee Wi. My nephew-in-law is a re-cycler & fabricator who is nicely networked with industrial "waste" resources. If I request a desire or need of materials or components he usually comes through. Sometimes in laws are OK !
And I agree with the comments about Pawn stars being quite theatrical. They remind me of the classic Mexican pottery dealing approach.
How it's made, how do they do it... I love those shows
The small wrenches you through in the pile and said we're obsolete are brake bleeder wrenches. lol
I sure stripped off A lot of bleaders in my life, or worse yet, broke them off
Yes. More this and that. More opinions.
I like the idea on how it works.
its not a sickness....just good fun!
I like all your junk. I wish I had more!

4:01 That handful of three wrenches are brake bleeder screw wrenches.

Since you got the wheels from an electrician, they could have came off an old dimmer pack. They often were on the top to adjust the reostat.
Kettering also developed the breaker-point ignition system. He developed the automatic starter because a good friend suffered a broken arm from hand-cranking an auto engine. The friend eventually died from an infection related to the broken arm.

The wrenches you called disturber wrenches are break bleeding wrenches.
Thanks, I stand corrected
Beats watching some nerd unpack his X-box ! The AMPCO wrenches are made with a nickel aluminium bronze That's a neat oil container, if you can't get a beer bottle you can use an energy drink bottle (love 'em).
They made golf clubs from that copper for a while...
16:30 No, what YOU have is known as "a healthy addiction", not a sickness- and I should know...because I have exactly same affliction!!!
My nephew works for an aluminum extruding company and I am able to buy cutoffs for scrap price from him it’ll be nice when I get my machines
Yes 👍👍
17:11 That looks like "tooling plate".
If you would like me to send an engine blueprint for a model airplane or a diesel or steam power standing engine just send me a message, my name's Peter but I'm in Australia and do model planes, cars and scratch built electric engines and circuits. I do love your and Adam "ABOM79" channels as we made a gas turbine for model jets about 7 years ago and I just got a lathe again that a drill press can swing over so I can do my own milling. Keep up with your videos I love them and never find them boring or long winded. Peter
Thanks Peter. Yes, send me planes for steam engine. Go to this video, TUBALCAIN LATHE VIDEOS 4th of July SPECIAL OFFER. At about the one minute mark, you will find my address & email. pete

I think its interesting tat you get 27000 views and only 800 can thumbs up or down you I think your right when you say people watch for pleasure not learning or planning on doing your current project I know I fall inbetween because I like your project videos as much as your other ones take care and good health
Thanks
"Pawn Stars" is even one level below those car-repo shows. Complete intellectual poverty.
