Nice series. And we know that you are a professional machinist, not a hollywood production crew, no apologies necessary. I think we are all very happy with what you do and appreciate everything you share. Looking forward to the rest of the lathe restoration.
The quill looks great, Mike. the engraving is the icing on the cake. Your videos are always interesting and no apologies are needed. Keep up the good work. Mart.
The dividing head was originally set up to do the engraving, Since I had it set up and I wanted to show off the little Garvin head I used it. If I just needed the index I would have used the Super Spacer
Great job , I loved machining cast iron way back in time , brass also was my top picks to work with. The only bad part was after a few years I turned rusty and orange when I sweat. After leaving that shop took a couple years to get rid of the rusty taste of it . Probably not good for the body either. I'd be afraid of an mri it might suck my lungs out. All in all tho I'd do everything over if I could. Two manufacturer's I worked for made valves big and small. Knox manufacturing and RKL Controls. Sweat boxes both of them but Knox was all turret LATHE work and I mean work , I had more upper body strength then a wrestler on steroids. Thanks for bringing back my youth through your videos. You do excellent work my friend , be proud you earn it, no need to apologize about batteries and letting the camera take last place . Shows your devotion to the job . Glad to see it, that's what made our nation so great.
Thanks for comment, the iron shouldn't hurt you your body can absorb it, at least that is what I was told along time ago. People today can't work without AC even the farmers have climate controlled conditions
thank you, excellent series, you should do some videos of your "day job" jobs like Abom does, looks like you have some nice equipment to show us, could be some great advertising for them, thanks for saving the old iron
I wish I could, unfortunately the work I do is in aerospace and defense and a good bit of it is R&D, so photoing it and sharing isn't looked upon by customers to favorably.
Hi Mike, awesome job there. I recently got a sleeve to convert the morse 2 on my tailstock, to receive a morse 3 for a set of drills I purchased As per your part, it locates with a twist and drops back into position. That drill looks Adom size, I can see why you wanted to include the 'set screws'. Many thanks for sharing. Joe.
Wow you get church bells to signal a project completion! lol My Monarch has nothing to grab the tangs on its MT and it uses the screw bottoming out to knock the bits loose upon retraction. Unless the bit has a bad taper it seems to work fine like that.
Very nice Mike....I had actually drafted a message to you asking if you could drive down to Keith's before I left Alaska and forgot to send it. Stupid of me.....Look for me in Kilroy's next "Feed the Monster" vid....I was wearing the shirt you sent me last year. See you at the Bash!Dan
Thanks Dan, It looked you and your mom had a very busy trip, I think I can speak for all the UA-cam creators Thanks for the all the support you give us
I enjoyed your videos for the series very much Mike. But I was wondering how difficult it was to drill and tap the holes to secure the nut on the end. You're hitting two different materials at the same time.... Cast iron and brass.... And I could picture any drill that you would use would wander to one side or the other because of the dissimilarity between the density of the two materials. I imagine the drill would wander toward the brass because it gives less resistance then cast iron would. I think the only way I would be able to accomplish this would be to plunge Mill with a small end Mill. How do you actually drill and tap those two securing screws in the end around the nut?
Very good narration as to operations. Mike, a question, are you a "hobby" machinist, or is your shop a for profit enterprise. Drilling the end off the screw is one way to shorten it. LOL I wondered if that clock was a sound effect for finishing the threading. As MrPete would say about using the set screws to hold the quill screw nut, "suspenders and a belt." CNC, the death of true craftsmen. This was a great series. I love watching a skilled craftsman. Hoping I can get back to a high level of machining.
Thanks for watching, I happen to manage a CNC shop. You are right, It's hard to find machinist. Were just about to the point of hiring anyone who can spell CNC
Hello sir I may say every time I hear your last name I remember the Carol Burnett show where she and Tim Conway do a skit where she's his secretary and her name is Mrs Wiggins and the way y Tim says it with a accent sounds like Missis awhiggens I laugh and always want to ask How's a Misses awhiggens
That lathe is starting to come to life again, well done.
Thanks for the reply
Very cool to watch a new quill being made!

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to watch.
Great project, Mike, and totally practical to convert it to Morse.
Cheers, Jeff
Thanks Jeff

Mart.
Thank you, I am pleased with the way it turned out.
Excellent! I never would have thought of using an indexing tool to set up the holes for the set screws.

Nice series Mike. The old Pratt is taking nice shape.
Thanks for watching and the lathe is coming along

I now know 2 terms defined. 1, Dedication to a craft, and 2, a butt load of work. Great series, and the video wasn't that bad.
Thanks for the reply and taking the time to watch

Apologies are unnecessary. You did a fine series, and a fine job of machining. Looking forward to many more good videos. Regards, Solomon

ok I understand why you have access to the cool machines now...
thanks for taking the time and putting together a great series
Thank you for watching

The drill was an 1 1/4 I think, I have a few bigger
Sounded like it was beer thirty. 😂
Love your videos .
Its a great deal of learning from your enriched knowledge based video. Thank you Mike and keep the good work. Regards.

a lot of quills don't, I put them in because I like them, Just like the drift it is a positive way to release the taper.
Good series, thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking the time to watch
You did real good. I know many pro film makers who make many mor mistakes than you ever did.
Nice job!
Thank you

Nice Mike, What, your not a programmer? They don't get hands dirty.
Nope, just a manager,

Misses aWhiggens is good, She hears that about as much as I hear Mike mike mike what day is it!
Pro Tip: Use all 3 holes to tighten your drill chuck and the tap wont slip.
Thanks for the advice
Done that before drilled two different size holes by mistake
