Video

I'm sorry to hear that, but there is 2 good things I've found out since this video. 1 is that you can buy or make custom lights at lighthound. Com if I recall it's been a few years, and if you have a lathe, you could just make a new cap, and tube to thread the head in to. Its a good little side project that you maybe will enjoy.

All good ..!! 16650 fits perfectly.. :)

Valid point

Yeah it was. I stopped uploading for a while and tried some other platforms. What I need to do is a better job at lighting the video. To be fair I never thought this would be a watched vid. Ps. Love the name brother. I'm a fan of the ice cold little demons my self.

@@tek4 not to disappoint, but I'm an anesthesiologist - hence the name - but I do get a laugh when the name "whips" up a little excitement! in others ;)

My mistake. But I do have to say the history of your profession is so very interesting and how we get to that safe ish point we are at now 🤯

@@tek4 be careful, neuropathies related to chronic is exposure can be nasty! (the anemia can be treated - the nerve damage - not so much) Anesthesia is actually quite safe. A junior staff doc when I was training (over 30 years ago!) was related to one of the pioneers in Anesthesia (Morton) take care! Doug

Very very much, and to see someone who has lost there b12 by ignoring the risks associated with such exposure by repeated dosing over even as short as a month is scary and sad.

Not all have that and you need to retract the piston anyway. What I'm showing is a extremely example of one whos never been filled and was told by the guy who gave it to me, "to use the tiny funnel threw the release nob to fill it up" he had no idea of the real way and I figured inwould throw something up for those who had a similarly abused and empty pump.

A lot of mine are around 40-50 years old, and I rebuilt the pumps & reservoir cylinders with kits from Greenlee. Those have a domed screw inside the cylinder housing that you remove to fill them with oil. There is shoulder cut into the fill hole that holds a little O ring. We always wiped the inside of that house down so it was really clean poured oil in them and worked the pump until the air bubbles stopped coming out, dumped out the excess oil and put the fill screw back in, with a new Viton O ring. I love'em when they don't leak & piss all oil over everything. I rebuild them when they do that.

Whats going on with yours, is it rear wheel drive and is it in n?

Well, to be fair your critique is deserved and I did a poor job on this video. Out if curiosity, should I delete it? Does it even have a slight value?

@@tek4 I wouldn't delete it, but, you mentioned in another comment maybe making a long form version.... was the fast speed done in-camera, or do you have a long version, for which you speeded up some portions in post for the video you posted. I would very much like to see a long version. Because I bought one of these lathes at an estate sale... only to find that the belt is shredded. And that the manual does not at all address changing the belt.

@@ssn608 unfortunately due to the age of the video the phone i shot this on. Is no longer working and I don't have any backups of it. As far as the belt, you should be able to find one that would be close to accurate and not need to go threw the same steps of a kit I found on ebay. The kit changed the gear ratio and speed of the lathe making a slower speed but higher torque, and I should redo the parts I can with the lathe. I currently have it open on my bench again because the board has had another break in it, and I need to figure out a third or fourth different repair to it. I'm not sure how its still running lol. But I will make an attempt at updating this video and making lore information about the belt replacement process.

@@tek4 Thank you!

What?

@@tek4 Donna. You know, at the very beginning

Okay, whats up

What would you like to know about the screw drivers Sam? @SAM Jensen

@@tek4 ok I have emailed and you can check it, thanks.

Welcome. I hope it helps

When did the Klein claw come out?? And how do I time travel bud?

@@tek4 my bad my bad. Just trying to help. Me skoosie

You will be amazed at what you can do if you act like you belong doing that there. Its quite insane to realize it, but if you do you, with authority, people don't question. I've done far sketchier stuff in worse situations with no problems, so having something to keep my ass busy and make a video for the sake of trying to make videos again was the idea. Question assuming you my friend have read this far, wanna see a vid of my crimping and technique using various types and styles of power connectors?

I still haven't figured out how to adjust that motor and i have had to build a new mount for it. So much for others posting stuff online has not given me any info.

@@tek4 I haven’t had any luck finding anything useful either. I found one website that had a written description, but it didn’t work for me.

@@jdiamond9513 so what i did to try to tension the motor is use a large screwdriver threw the hole to tilt the motor as much as possible and to level it off.

Thank you too

I didn't know i didn't like them, until I tried them out for a few months to be able to give a honest review. I was frustrated with the Klein version 😤

Ok sir tnx

I need to get one to experiment with cause if they are manufactured, then can be disassembled. Maybe it will require cutting and adding some sort of retaining clip modification but I'm excited to dig in. If one fails on ya, please send it my way and we will see if we can get it all fixed up

That's what I do in the winter. Yhe kids have fun with that lol

First, thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me in this 2020 end of the world times were at. So there are methods such as socket connections, crimps, or a conductive epoxy. In my personal experience the epoxy has much more resistance then the rest if the methods, and more resistance means more heat to pass a amount of current. Sockets use a spring force to hold the connection and can build up a oxide layer, crimps as well build up oxides. This would again lead to failure due to excessive temp and resistances. Soldering has some benefits that are often overlooked for cheaper or less effort methods. (Soldering is already really inexpensive and the effort is not as much as people assume) it covers the direct connection from oxide formation, using a rosin or flux, cleans the metallic parts not only allowing a super tight seal but a direct metal to metal connection the all the other methods dont include. It's also stable, long lasting, strong, and able to carry higher temps then the melting point of the solder by having the wire act as a heat sink, tho this is not much and the soldering iron easily handles the few degrees more it takes. A cheap iron is fine to do our modding work and some hobby stores such as the sellouts at a lobby store (I don't support this establishment but it is a useful country wide example) have them with solder as low as 5 to 10 dollars. I like to reccomend a good silver bearing solder as lead exposure in vapor from melting and possible other scenarios give me pause, and if not on the modern connector are fine. Back in 2010 when I built my first mod, I felt it was a proper way to go. If you need or want help, I can drop my email to you, or make a better explanation in a follow up video. I really need to get back on track but last few years it's been hard to have any recording or editing equipment as in some videos its show I have been traveling the country for my work.

Thank you very much :) I have 3 sons, and they all jump in. I dont know how I got so lucky, and I am a proud proud dad. Last weekend we were stacking wood for my older neighbor who has been sick, and in remission from cancer. I told him, we will get it done quick, and a 4 ish hour job of split wood was done in a hour and fifteen. He was shocked and told me how he thought they would be gone in 5 min, 5o go play video games and get bored of work... I was beaming with pride, and I am so very lucky. Have a wonderful weekend

@@tek4 it's not a case of 'how you got so lucky', it's to do with good parenting from the day children are born. So it's thanks to people like you who shape the next generation. You can definitely be a proud, proud DAD, and from what you say, your sons are definitely a 'chip off the old block'. Give yourself a pat on the back.

@@yusafkhan9347 my son's are my life and gave me purpose when I was lost. I owe them the best start I can give, because they saved me.

Um, I could, but um.. there really ain't more then this to put it in service

He already said the tag line before he thought of that so they had to shut er down at that point.

Proto putty is a awesome work, but my expirments with making it have yeilded questionable results with his I tried. You are correct however and maybe I should buy a batch. Thank you

That is because as the resin, silicone mold material or any thick liquid releases gas, bubbles occur and you use the second valve to re pressurise the pot slightly. This pops most of the gas bubbles by shrinking them and brings the resin back below the cup container lip preventing waste from over flow. Thicker stuff or soapy stuff will do this.

Also for pressure casting the lid is used. The vacuum degassing the acrylic is a better o0tiom. Scott, I went to find you on Facebook to send your daughter some more plastic blanks to turn on her mini lathe but couldn't pull you up. I hope we're still friends and cool cause I like ya bud. Rob Tek

@@tek4 not sure why you could not find me. I w I ll check

Thank you and I hope you and the family have been safe and away from the virus

@@tek4 you sho I kd see my now
