Refining The Pulley

- When making a wooden pulley ( In this case for a hand generator), it is good to refine it a bit so it spins better. Here is a process I am using at the moment. (Subtitles in English)(Subtitulos en Espanol)
I like you hand-made tools, the real woodworking.
Hand powered lathe! Good job.
I love your tutorials man! Really great to see that you can build whatever really with great results, without the use of expensive power tools! Thank you for that and I'm looking forward to future tutorials! All the best!
Thanks.
Great work buddy! Thanks to you and a couple of other youtubers, I am trying to be more of a handyman.
Hello friend the truth every time I see one of your videos you surprise me the way you do simple things and do not need any kind of electric tools that is the best and gives even more value to your work or inventions Saludos desde san Luis Potosí México te agradecería un saludo en tu próximo video
love these videos without power tools
good to know youve not finished trying with the generators!, thank you for more videos
Definitely not finished with the generators! It's just that I got really behind in showing development versions and decided to jump straight forward to a version that is out in longer term field trials (feedback at the moment is that the rubber band is a weakness in the system. and the batteries are failing.) and this then generates the dilemma of how to summarize the whole thing in a short video. But ...still working on it.
nice work
nice work dude
Awesome Philip... thanks so much once again.
You are also welcome :)
There's always a way to do things with simple tools and still get good results. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome.
Philip Stephens can you please do another lathe build. But this time make it so it has ball bearings instead of a bush. Love your videos!
Always happy to see a broomstick
Oh yes, broomsticks rule.
always enjoy ur tutorial videos wrh minimul tools and that mini lathe is so cool 🍻💥
Good, good. :)
you are amazing! love it! inspired and ever so slightly jealous :)
where do you conjure your endless supply of broomsticks from??
Another great video, thanks for uploading. I noticed you have a pile of finished pulleys and I couldn't help thinking, wouldn't it be easier to glue the round shaft instead of making it square?
Yeah, it would seem a logical thing, but you can't beat the 'it definitely won't slip' perspective of that square peg in a square hole. In making the square peg it also helps align the wheel and also gives me a depth position. I had too many problems with the round pole in a round hole...none with the square. But sure, a round glued one works.
Thank-you for another interesting video. I enjoy the engineering you manage with limited resources.
I wondered why if you are going to use a wedge to hold the pulley to the shaft, why do you bother with the extra effort in making a square hole and squaring the shaft. Why not just cut a notch in both the shaft and a round hole to fit the wedge like a key?
My question is on the assumption you have a drill to make a round hole.
I tried a key, it was more difficult, and more complicated for me ...and the key also deteriorated or fell out in certain circumstances. The square hole was easier for me to make , and fail-safe on cutting slippage on the shaft, and works for big or small shafts. The wedges also help center up a sloppily cut hole and square pole end so it can be done quite quickly and still works. But yes, you are right. Keys work too.
oh, also , as I will show in later videos, the square hole is also used in the crank pulley in the hand generator where the pole is not cut to a square end , but planed as a square wedge. It really fast and very effective. and once you get used to using your chisel (which every carpenter should do) it is not so hard, and cutting square holes is as fast as squaring a drilled hole, although that can be done quite fine too. :)
Ah thank-you for your explanation. My last experience with chiselling was with a pretty poorly made tool, on some wood in America that was wonderfully resilient!.
Cool. I must admit a sharp chisel is a must, but I still am not an expert in getting mine sharp :(
@philips, i only use a stone to sharpen my chisesls, but my tip is this: after you have done all the stone work, polish the egde, i admit i have a wheel on my grinder for that job, but put a mirror shine on the bevel you cut and you have a razors edge every time
Can show how to make the apparatus machine?
Also, I noticed this feels like Paul Seller's mortising technique?
That is possible...It does work :)
I am very impressed by your lathe. but how do you make the mini lathe turn?
Hand cranked. I have done a couple other videos on making and using that larger wooden pulley at the back , which is why I did not focus on it in this video. It means you only have one hand for the turning, but , with a little practice it works ok for small emergency-like jobs.
