The only thing I would suggest (wood suggest ;)) is a wooden shoe to match the dovetail of the ways on your locking screw. Well done James.
I thought about that but that wouldale the shaft stick out even farther. The clamp currently clamps on the flat surface under the dovetail not on the dovetail.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Awesome, I couldn't tell that, watching on my phone. Maybe a piece of leather or car tire sidewall to help prevent marring the paint?
Now I only need the Barnes lathe...
Yours is not a bad idea. I think I would have tried to incorporate the tool carriage though. Keep on smiling.
Turning point was a good one
Really cool, can't wait for more turning projects from you!
Great vid, thank you! An option would have been to make a block for the cross slide assembly that accepted the post for your tool rest. It would then be easy to move in & out and side to side with the cranks. But, cutting a block and drilling a few holes in it would have made for a boring video, and wouldn't be useful for folks like me who are looking into how to design such things (my tool rest is a PITA).
I tried to make one like that, but it would not work. It would end up being too high even if I cut the shaft, and I wanted to get that out from under the cutting.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Got it, thanks. That's too bad.
The comedy of errors could be coincidence but the champfer comment is the second blondihacks reference here. Love the videos of both of you!
High hole, high hole,
It's off to work we gole!
🤣
Awesome ...
Ok!! Your Mama wants to try that one for sure!!! ❣️
Feel free to stop on over anytime lol
Pretty interesting lathe, James! 😃
Fantastic work!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
posted on the main channel video but given it a bit more thought, if you got rid of the clamp you had to fasten it down with you might be able to put a second dovetail on some kind of cam lock system, that way you have a nice wide contact point and might be easier to reposition
That might be interesting to play with. But the cam lock would have to be huge as it would need around 3" of travel.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo would it? As you have those wing nuts on the rear surely that would do 90% of the travel and then you just need a bit of pinch to tighten. At least that's how it would work in my head. Difficult to say without being there in person so you'll probably have a better idea
Yeah. Either the cam lock would have to be large enough to move the extra 2-in plus the release space or the can lock would have to move in and out just like the catch on the backside does. That's how the whole tool rests moves back and forth to the work.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Ah I see, probably a bit impractical then
Holy cats two days in a row!!!
Congrats on first!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo thank you sir! Your vids are great for those of us the try to attain perfection but remain firmly on the ground.
When you glue end grain spread a layer of glue on the end grain and let it dry. Then you will get a much better bond. I have great results gluing end grain like that.
I did a test on that a while back.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Sorry, I missed that. I just found your channel the other day and subscribed.
Thanks man. Over the last couple years I've done a series of different glue tests testing 60 different glues and several different manners and applications. It's a lot of fun.
cool
I love it! I have a Barnes 4.5 with the tool rest for woodworking, but I lack a 3 jaw chuck. It can be a right pain to center a taper in the four jaw so precisely just to use it woodturning with sloppy tolerances. What is the jaw/chuck you are using in your #5?
This is just a cheap Amazon four-jaw. I have a really nice three-jaw that I use for metal working.
My 4 1/2 didn't come with a 3 jaw either but making a backing plate for a chinesium one isn't that hard, but start by locating a 7/8 - 10 tap...
When will you have another live program?
We do live videos every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. CST
Woukd chasing screws work on this?
I would be interested in tips for using 'manual' lathes. Particularly how to sharpen tools and how to use them to get a good finish.
I did a video about 2 years ago on how to sharpen lays tools without a grinder. But I may end up having to do a couple updates on those.
Nice lathe, a nice work on the tool rest holder. Is that a leather belt on the lathe?
Also, just joined MWTCA.
Thanks. Yes it is a leather belt drive.
I need to make one of those for my #6 Barnes lathe with a motor conversion. I've done a bit of wood turning on it and the tool rest is always a bit awkward to set up. Usually I've just stuck a bar in the tool post to use as a tool rest.
My spindle bearings leak a lot especially at higher rpm - did you have this issue or find a good way to resolve this?
I haven't had a problem with my spindle bearings leaking. It sounds like the babbitt could be a bit worn out. But I don't remember for sure if the number 6 uses that for packing or something else.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo It is a babbit bearing I think. It does better at colder temperatures (more viscous oil) and lower rpms.
At 4:07 when you were pounding the carriage bolt in, it looks like the piece is starting to split. Any concern it might give out? I've had a nasty catch put a lot of downward force on a rest before.
Like the overall design, its different from 'modern' cam-locked rests but looks functional for what you need.
No I think that was a trick of the camera. The hole is only ever so slightly smaller than the size of the square. So now I can pop the heads in and out by hand. And because it's clamping against the other board that's adding enough friction that they really won't be any problem in the future.
why not modify the tool rest base with a parallel flat spot, and use the cross slide tool holder, or a tool holder block to marry both , cool lathe though ,,,
Did you have to hock your ring? :-D
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷👍💯
Can't you you rotate your lathe so you peddel forward ?...
no, because then the spindle is spinning the wrong way. it is something that looks okward, but in reality you do not even think about it once it is going.
I remember Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs having a saying every time someone would say “Safety is number 1”. He’d say “Well … top 5.”
“Safety 3rd”
Did you use a Robertson driver bit
My question as well. Did you Robertson screws and a Robertson driver? Because square is not Robertson. Japanese Industrial Standard is not Phillips, etc.
Yes. They were both Robertson. Contrary to popular belief Robertson still scope out but not nearly as much as Phillips. Of course one step better is torx.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I've learned to accept cam out in my life and just use slotted for everything.
What jaw did you get? Last time I asked you said you didn’t know and I notice you have one now.
I ended up just getting a cheap four-jaw on Amazon. I don't even remember what the name on it was.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo that’s what I did, I bought a WEN think I spent like $60 works ok
