This more methodical, accurate style of working is a breath of fresh air compared to how Alec does things (at least in his videos). And don't get me wrong, this hectic, panicky, hyper, "that'll do" and then "doing it twice or thrice because the first time failed due to rushing or unpreparedness" thing is fun to watch, but it also kinda starts getting on my nerves at times.

    I rebuilt a number 7 a few years ago. I took the oilers off and put on zirk fittings. I do oil the two ram guilds with 90 weight oil. I tape on a rag over the ram opening after I oil the rollers because it throws oil all over you. Beaudry's like oil. I had to make new rollers because they were never hardened and wore flat on one side. My advice is make all of your hand held tools with no bigger than 5/16' handles. They can bend without breaking your arm. I fabricated at tower and have a 7-1/2 HP 2 phase motor. Normally you would want the drive pulley larger than the driven hammer pulley. I used a 10 inch pipe and fitted it with to pillow blocks. The 10 inch pulley will not work, SO, I covered the pulley with silicon rubber and now it works fine. I have it geared to 225 RPM as the brass plate instructs. I run two V belts from the motor to the drive pulley and a 5 inch belt, as original on the drive and driven pulleys. I hope that helps. PS, I still have the Hammer.

    Hey Will, I'm a graphic designer from the UK with about 15 yrs of exp. Although I'm not an expert in video editing and bec of that I'm trying not to touch that territory, I have a decent knowledge of design, and what I can see is that you trying to match the overall design with your identity and in the meantime still trying to find the facade of the company. There is nothing wrong with this, in the early stage we all gone through this, but the one thing I want to share with you is that you not designing these for yourself, you design them for your viewers/customers. Yes, it has to represent you but in the end, if the design, the cut, the music or the direction is off, you can have the best raw material in the world which is the closest to your heart, but you never gonna turn it into a diamond. Now don't make me wrong, most of these are fine, or at least you're in the right direction, but with all that said pls spend a lil more time with the details like font type, lightning, and I'm actually missing the excitement of it, it is just flat. Pls take this as support, not as an offence, I do like what you're doing and I encourage you to keep continue.

    Super enjoy the brass plates back on after cleaning. Beautiful work. You need more light in your workshop: 30% more light should work.

      Yeah, the audio is fine, but for people wearing headphones... I would really appreciate the use of a lav mic or something to level out the sound? I'm not a sound engineer, tho, so maybe it's something else. Let me know where to contribute to the mic fund! I'll do my part!
