Thanks for sharing. Need a tool, make a tool, build a project.
i would definitely of faced that before boring it ...just because it was annoying me! chuckle
Me too
Me three. If you'd faced it you would have prepared it as a possible faceplate for a future project. Don't ask me what because I'm not clairvoyant but knowing this "hobby" there's always more than one way of doing something.
Keith, I do believe your welding's improving. Thanks for the video.
Us four lmao 😏😉😁 that lil run out is only thing could focus on, but again Keith it is your part, your shop and your show 😂 all in all looks great, can't wait to see it in action!
Good morning Keith! 😊
nice ... (would have to have faced that plate!)
Yeah, he triggered my OCD too. SOOOOO close and yet he backed away.
I assume this weld-up was what inspired you to buy a rotating weld positioner :)
Or...did you have it already but didn't it fit?
Drill some circles at the end of your horizontal flex cut so the cylinder doesn't crack from repeated flexing?
That's super awesome! Your video inspires me a lot.
Looks like a good solution to the problem.
I would exclude the grub-screw, for if it slips, it would damage the spindle seriously. Rely instead of the clamping-force alone.
wow, you lost so much weight, keep good care of your health!
Would have been a good job for your new welding turn table
Yeah I thought that was half the point of making the turntable just now.
Another interesting video professor
Hiya Keith
Kieth, you're looking good buddy. Keep it up and you're and inspiration.
Thanks for taking the time to post the video
Always a pleasure to watch.
You're absolutely right..... Good afternoon pmsteamrailroading how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
Keith, Great Video! I have been one of your subscribers for a few years now but have been too busy for the past 6 months or so to tune in to UA-cam. You got thin! If it was deliberate then congratulations - otherwise I hope you are well!
This helped me a lot. I had been pondering how to solve a problem where my drive dogs wouldn't reach over a live center I wanted to use. Thanks Keith!
Can't wait to see them put to work. In hunagrian we call these drive dogs lathe hearts actually.
Now you can use the machine to "turn between the centers" like a lathe.
Your explanations are always great, but this fabrication was on another level. I have a little machine shop experience but figuring how to make this was way beyond me- I just learned a lot.
6:08 ShopDog! Lordy, those ears! 😁
That is a nice job but I was surprised that you didn't face that plate.
Thank you for sharing. Very nice, always enjoy when you make something new for the machines in your shop. Enjoyed the video.👍
Nice work Keith 👍 I like it see you next video 😉
Keith I do believe your welds are looking better and better!
Morning from the UK Keith glad progress is being made up to actual use time, shop dog loojs happy too❤
You're absolutely right..... Good afternoon how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
GREAT planning and execution.
This would've been the perfect project for your new weld positioner. 👍👍
You mention a drive dog and a dog walks into the shot…😂
Well, with those ears, the good dog could hear Keith from a mile away...
Was a walk dog.
Another fine job Keith, keep up the good work!
You're looking in good shape!
I am wondering why you did not use your new Vevor weld positioner to weld the pipe to the plate.
I was thinking the same thing. The weld positioner would have made welding the pipe to the disk easier.
probably shot before it came.
Do the jaws that came with it open up far enough? He probably hasn't fabbed up any extensions to bolt to the jaw tops.
Was just about to ask the same question. Unless this was filmed before he got it?
I would suggest putting a stop drill hole at the end of the cur across the diameter, in use that will be a stressed hinge under cyclic load nice place for a fatigue crack to propagate from. Too late now, but hopefully the amount of use the part gets wont be enough to be an issue.
Tell him what you are thinking at the outset of the project, not at the vey very end.
@@silasmarner7586 You do realize that these aren't live videos right?
@@ericg7044 seems like ol silas been hittin the bottle
This is such a cool and engaging project. Thanks!
Gday from Australia Keith
Good morning Keith. Great piece of tooling for the mill. Thanks for posting.
thank you Keith
Good morning.
Nice design and build. However, knowing how I am, I would have had cut the face to true it up as well. It looks wonky with the face run out to me. But since it isn't my project, if you like it as is, that's all that matters. Thumbs Up!
He said he wanted to keep the current face finish - it looked like it had a nice old-timey patina. Authentic is more important to Keith than irrelevant accuracy.
Thanks as always for the fantastic detailed video. I just need to find a new place and get a big barn for some big iron!
You're absolutely right......Good evening how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
Most excellent.
time to feed it a project.
It's looking good! I am looking forward to seeing you complete a job with this machine. Thanks for all your work.
Great journey thoroughly enjoyed it. Best wishes...
The mike set up sounds pretty good. Thank you. So annoying to us mere mortals, turn your head and the volume of your voice would double or disappear. Hope this fixes that issue. Always hit the like button anyway. It's all good.
KEITH, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, PET AND OR TELL ALL HELLO...
Thanks for sharing 👍
@ 1:28 Puppy Dog! 🙂
if was makeing the drive plate i would bore the face plate center a little bit biger then weld the plate to the pipe on the iner then re machine it
So......what he did, didn't work?
@@paulcopeland9035 it just the way i would of done it, i over make things
Yes...but it doesn't appear Keith has enough clearance over the ways to chuck the disc... at least not in this lathe
Nice job Keith 👴🏻👍
That tube looks like a piece of Sherman tank barrel.
Hey bud looking better! Hope heath matters are and have been corrected. The weight loss is a good look for ya as well as a healthy thing!!! Go Keith!
As always well done. Could surely be used on a mini lathe too. Inspiring!
Nice job, Sir!
Great idea Keith.
Nice work.
This should work very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Thanks for the education!
The only question is did the Rotary Welding positioner come before or after this video or was it partly the 'reason' for it 🤣
What do you think??
@@paulcopeland9035 I have a problem, the idea that a tool 'might help' me with a some job in the future is excuse enough so I am not going to judge 😁
nice stuff
OK Keith. Give the W series tools and inserts a go. They're brilliant for interrupted cuts.
However!... every time you use the plate, it's going to be waving about. For the sake of another two minutes machining you could have faced off the outer side and produced a beautiful looking piece. At some point you may need that outer face to be perpendicular to the machine rotary axis.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
If you use a 3/8 th drill for the first hole, you can easily follow it up with a 2” drill and skip the others.
3 drills for 1 hole, a waste of time. If you grind a split point on the 2" drill, it wouldn't even need a pilot hole. Has worked for me and the old German tool maker I apprenticed with.
Why do you guys care? This is not your time, nor your project. I don't think anyone cares how the drilling "experts" feel it should be done.
@@paulcopeland9035Its knowledge, and it matters.
Face plate most know it by. Face plates have holes and slots. For mounting upon or driving a dog.
Magnificent :)
You look amazing Keith!
Great video wish I had your skills thanks for sharing
ready for work keith!
Are you going to use the Horizontal Boring Mill to machine the inside bottom of the Steam Engine Pony Motor?
Looks great. I like the TLAR engineering
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Bruce how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
Another way to make the hole in the plate would be to use a hole saw. You would have a 1/2" thick slug that could come in handy for some future project instead of turning it all into chips.
Missing a piece? No problem... I'll just make it.
I am surprised you did not use the Vevor cake rotisserie/turntable to weld it?
Very anxious to see the big boring machine run!
Frank
The videos are not in order.
What's the name of that white coyote sneaking around in the background?
It looks like a real stickybeak.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening nkelly how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
The makings of a great joke: "A dog and a drive dog walk into a boring machine shop ..."
liked for algorithm
Not sure why you didn’t use your welding positioned to weld the plate onto the tubing?
assume you did this before you got your Vevor weld positioner.... also curious why you didn't turn down the end of the tube a little, bore a hole in the plate for the tube to fit, then weld and bore tube?
Any update on the Stoker Engine?
Im surprised you arent using your welding positioner.
I'm betting this "upcoming project" is that fire box or, that pitted locomotive related project that Abom used his shaper on and I think Brian block had a crack at it also
Brian said he could machine that part with no problems, but Keith didn’t give him the chance (yet). I think Keith wants to use that nice looking HBM on it, can’t hardly blame him either. If that doesn’t work than Brian can probably have his way with it.
I bored the cylinders and faced the ends 3 years ago. I have not had any other parts of the stoker engine.
I think the job might be truing the wheels on the giant bandsaw he is restoring for another youtuber.
@@nrml76, I think you might be right! Good one.
5:58 - Got a DRO up there, no?
21:14 - What?!
How many amps did you use to weld the faceplate?
I wish I had a dollar for every time he says “it’s not critical”.
Or the New Vintage Machinery drinking game!
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asks about the "Stoker engine"!
Keith, what's the name of the puppy and what breed? The horz. mill is coming along quite well, can't wait to see it in action.
PS You should have used your positioner to do the circular welding, and what about a counter weight for clamp ears.
If he had the welding positioner at the time of this video, I believe he would have used it!!
What happened to the new weld Positioner
It wasn't part of the family when this was filmed.
it would appear you're only going to be able to do outside work on whatever you put in between. I thought the ideal of the boring machine was to go inside? OKAY I'm confused
At the top of the vid he said 'yes this is unconventional I'm gonna turn a shaft.'
I'm guessing this was done before he got the new weld positioner. Would have been a good job for it.
😛😛😛😛❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Drill a hole in your plate and weld it to a MT 5 center. Finally going to finish that firebox.
What "firebox"? You don't want a fire in the "stoker"!!
@@paulcopeland9035 Ben so long I forgot what it was.
DOG!
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Kate how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
I assume this had a long thought process, "Ok that makes sense but let me think about ... "
What is your dog's name?
Let me guess. Line boring a cylinder.
If only you had a machine to rotate that part while you were welding it…
Dogs ever get chips in their paws?
Keith seems to keep his shop pretty clean but I wonder about that too, with other shops also.
push mig never drag
? a new pup. He/she is definitely white.
Round part ... new rotary table ... why not use that Keith???
Think about it!!
Keith CAD = chicken scratch
ffs Keith .... square the face up ..even by your standards its a mile out ..
If he thought he would use it as a faceplate, I'm sure he would. Since it only drives the dog, it makes no difference. Sure, it isn't pretty but it doesn't have to be.
Why the f%*? Not it,s not rocket science to make it at least look decent..but it's Keith's war cry (it's good enough for him..and I guess you too)..🙂
@@premierd8988 if you have a point, use real words, not profane references. You may face your own plate when you make one. If you don't like how Keith does his thing, you don't have to watch.
Keith said he wanted to keep the original surface (mill scale) on it, probably to make it harder to form rust. If he ever needs it flat he can make it flat.
His show, his machine, his choice.
@@Hoaxer51 Absolutely!!
