TRain Whistle
A prototype whistle to be used for a project restoring a radial street car in Richmond Hill, north of Toronto. There are 4 chambers each with different length to provide a multi-tone sound.
The next model will use slightly lower tones ( lower frequency) to make a more mellow sound. This one is a bit shrill.

Fixing ( welding) a Cast (Ductile) Iron VIse

This is a repair to a cast iron vise - actually ductile iron ( but that's close to cast iron for welding) - that I did . I found the vise at a dump, so I figured I'd experiment with welding the thing. If I failed then it was not much of a loss. Anyway, you will see that there are"blobs" of weld material. That was the result of welding for about 15-20 seconds, then letting the weld cool to the s...

To day. Living off grid is a novelty - I live in the deep South U.S. in a rural area - there is about 7 miles of power lines per customer - Up till the late 1950s or early 1960s - before the government had REA string AC grid power to small towns most people on farms who had power had a home powered by 6 volts or 12 volts, those were called junior home light plants - Were I live there were many homes when I was a kid with 12 volt powered homes out here in the country - Delco sold a 2 cycle engine generator that came with a 6 volt or 12 volts generator those put out 150 watts - With a 6 or 12 volts system there were limitations on how far the lower voltage traveled - Most 6 & 12 volt light bulbs were ether 10 watts or 15 watts and the fans were small - I remember the 12 volt water pumps ran slow - With the 32 volts system those homes had any electric appliance sold in the 120 volt AC range - There were 6, 12, & 32 volt inverters that brought the lower voltages up to 110 volts 60 Hz AC for when AC was needed - My grandfather started working on generators in the early 1900s - I worked on generators in the offshore oilfields - .. those farm homes as a rule had battery's large enough to run the home 6 days - on Friday most charged there battery's the entire day each Friday - during the summer they would also charge half the day on Monday - Fans, fridges & freezer.run a lot in summer so they had to charge some on Monday also in summer - The battery's using a acid strength of 1.220 would last about 40 yrs - also the Delco generator lasted about 40 yrs and could be changed out with a remanurfactured one - The farm light plants set up with larger battery's that had a acid strength of 1.200 would last 60 + yrs or more - Down here it was common to have a 21 kw battery bank and a 1600 watt 32 volt generator - Were up north they used the 850 watt gen and 7 kw battery bank -
Any of you guys know what a 16" by 8 foot southbend weighs? Trying to pick one up and seeing if my trailer can hack it, hah.
My estimate is that it's at least 3500 lbs . Be careful how you rig it to pick it up - it's usually top heavy. And it yours has a gap - you might break it in half if you don't rig it correctly. You might also ask at the Old Woodworking Machine . org web site. They're pretty goof at supporting old USA made machines.
Very useful informative video. As you say, the ATX modules can be obtained very cheaply from a scrap PC tower cabinet. Nobody needs to be without a working bench DC power supply for their projects.
the old mans a little bit of a cranky old codger.
How would you connect a digital volt/amp meter so it would read the voltage and amps output of the 4 different voltages outputs (3, 5, 12, -12), without moving the digital volt/amp wire from each voltage output post? Hope that was clear enough on my question
Well, first, you KNOW the voltage for each of the wires - the internal circuits are quite precise for that, so no need to measure them. As for measuring the current (amps) you'll have to have an ammeter for each of the outputs - here I assume that you are feeding power from more than one of the outputs. However, if you only use one of the outputs at a time, then, simply connect the ammeter in series with the output you are using. You can see in the video, that I have a number of binding posts and I have labelled them so I know what voltage I am using. The wires I connect then go to the ammeter on the front panel. But I only use one voltage at a time.
should i use one yellow wire and one black wire from my computer power suppy to power my car radio
Yes, the yellow is plus 12V and the black is Ground ( or 0 V).
@@disproman okay but do i use one in the wires instead of using all bc i believe it will exceed the amps of the radio
The radio when it is playing an FM station draws milliamps. But when you are playing a CD at full blast you'll be drawing Amps. So, it depends how you are planing to use the car radio. In any case, I usually connect ALL the yellow wires and ALL the black wires so that way I can use the ATX power supply for anything.
@@disproman are you sure its safe to connect all the wires? Like it wont blow the radio?
NOPE - it supplies 12 V regardless of how many of the yellow wires are joined together. With more wires the 12V part of the power supply can provide more current ( Amps). The radio will blow up if you connect it to a higher voltage . With a 12 V connection to the radio the current will vary from milliAmps ( when it's turned on but not playing anything) to many Amps when you play the radio full blast with lots of base notes (boom boom boom) . If you overload the power supply it simply stops working - it doesn't "blow". You simply un plug the connection to the radio, unplug the 110V wall plug - wait 10 seconds then plus the 110V in again and you're OK to go to connect the radio
500 mAh ! that sucks! What can you use that for? If its soaking 150 Watts to create DC volts its consumes to much energy for the little return! What's the point?
I think you mis-understand how this power supply works. The higher voltages eg 23 V and 15V are limited by the -12V (blue) wire. When the power supply is providing the 500mA, then it is NOT consuming 150W. At worst it consumes about 15W. It is very efficient. There are plenty of uses for the 23V and 15V supplies - eg charging Lithium battery packs.
@@disproman Well with that kind of amperage I would have no trouble charging a car battery or even using it to crank it over then! Is that correct?
To crank a car engine, your starter will draw a peak current of over 100 Amps or about 1.200 Watts. That's way more than the ATX power supply can provide, so, NO, you cannot crank a car engine with an ATX power supply

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspectives. I appreciate your unique designs.
They dinky seat in Australia lol we have one red all original
I would love to see the V8 boat up closer
The boat is still in Louisiana. The guy that built the boat died some years ago, but the boat is now in the hands of one of his sons. in the area of New Iberia - not exactly sure of that , though
And are all the black wires necessary? Is it possible to narrow it down into 1?
Yes, you can certainly use only one black wire, but significantly reduces te amount of power that will be able to draw from the power supply. Most supplies can make 250 to 400 watts, but with only one black wire, that will be limited to 20 - 25 watts. More black wires = more power available
@@disproman oh, well thanks for the reply. I just felt that putting multiple wires together just because they share the same color was a little ridiculous and could be dangerous.
I want like a higher voltage, if that makes sense. It claims input of 100-120 to output of 200-220. How is it 5v, and 12v cables now?
Most ATX power supplies are designed to work on either 110 V or 220V. The is a small red switch on the back of the power supply. BUT . . . do NOT try to operate a 110V setting of the switch with 220V - it will destroy the power supply. If you need higher voltages, there are boost circuit packages that will let you get higher voltages Here is an example www.creatroninc.com/product/4-35v-3a-adjustable-step-up-regulator/
I have tried to make this work, but do not get any voltage from any wire except the purple. I have connected the green to black with no results. I tried hooking a 10ohm resistor between red and black. Still nothing ! This is a new PSU. Any ideas?
Assuming that your power supply is not "dead on arrival", about the only reason that I can think of, at the moment, is that somewhere, there is an overload ( not a short circuit) on the power supply. An overload usually makes the power supply "go to sleep". The remedy is to clear the over load, unplug the power supply from 110V power, wait several minutes, then plug in again. The power supply will not be "on" yet. You then should be able to get the power supply to start up, by connecting green to black. A short circuit will cause the internal fuse to blow. To replace the fuse, you'll need to remove the power supply from its case.
There is something very peaceful about listening to that boat go by A friend of mine has a 1942 dippy absolutely wonderful
Hi sir. The triangle combination: electric box Amps circuit breaker + PSU + UPS : can you upload a video about this combination and what is the right way, according to our circuit breaker, choose correct PSU and UPS? For not overloading and not making damages? Thank you!
My video camera has now become obsolete and I can no longer create videos. Perhaps one day when I get rich enough, I'll be able to afford to buy a new camera. In any case, the configuration that you need depends very much on the specific type and model of equipment that you have. I recommend that you find a local electrical technician who should be able to assist you.
@@disproman Sir, thank you for your reply. I had already thought about your suggestion. But, unfortunately, not know any local electrician who would agree to assist me with just advice. Like videos on CZcams, who video builders just create the videos from big love on IT technologies. Hope one day I find some electrician who will assist me. Thank you.
how come mine is reading 14 volts instead of 12 volts?
Are you measuring the voltage between the yellow wire and the black wire? That is the 12 V connection. Check that first, before doing anything more.
@@disproman yes, sir. yellow and black wires. ok. I used two different multi tester. one is reading 14 volts the other is 13.12 volts
@@apollomorelos727 I have admit, I have never seen this on any power supply that I have made. I have made at least 35 or 40 power supplies. So, what to check next? Since you have quite a big difference between the 2 volt meters ( more than 5%) , it tells me that maybe the problem is with the meters. Usually the accuracy on an ordinary digital voltmeter is better than 1% error. The error on analog meters is much worse. I still use analog meters, but not when I need accurate readings. You'll have to check the accuracy of your meters. What are the voltage readings on the other wires? eg red / black , and orange /black
@@disproman I was looking around the internet and I found this guy in a forum asking the same question why his computer power supply is putting out 14.6 volts instead of 12v
@@apollomorelos727 OK , so you watched some You Tube stuff, but did you measure the other two voltages and what were the results ? ? It could be that your power supply does not comply with the ATX specification. In any event, does your application care about having precisely 12V ? Or can it tolerate over or under voltage? There is nothing sacred about 12V except that you need to have it for a computer to work properly.Other applications are not nearly as sensitive.
well explained, god bless you

I've got a 16x8 gap bed south bend as well. it's serial no 34350 model 692-E with a casting date of 11-27-26, mine was set up to run off a line shaft originally and is quite well used (was the go to machine in a hydraulic shop for 60 years) although it still holds 0015" taper over 6 inches (good enough for my low precision hobby work). -Info about the early 16" gap beds l lathes. Swing is 24" with the gap removed which is 8" long the rest of the bed swings 16-1/4" and 10" over the cross slide. they came with several QCGB options although the common ones either cutting from 2-112 tpi or 4-228 tpi. The carriage feeds are double the tpi it's set to cut in both directions ran off of a screw style friction clutch. The headstock was available with a 3 or 4 pulley cone and the back gears are an 8:1 reduction. The spindle bearings are hand scraped bronze. The spindle ID is 1-3/8" with a Morse 5 taper. The tail stock is Morse 3.
That's good news - not many of these lathes have survived as long. Who knows, perhaps the maker space world will be a 'savior' for these machines, and the know-how that goes with them.
Really nice shaper @disproman. I have a tiny (210mm stroke) motor-driven one, and now have the chance to buy a hand-cranked one too, which is how I found your video. At the end of the video, you were showing a tiny horizontal mill - is there perhaps some more footage of that? I would be interested in it, as I'm building something similar. I understand this is your friend's machine.
No, there is no further information on that small mill. My pal is getting on in years and has become "distant" - a sad reality.
Around 2:04 the camera is on a very old Woodward Governor. Woodward is still in business unbelievably.

Where are all the skeetoes we see in the movies? Thanks for the tour. Ive never been there. I was expecting mosquitoes. I use herbs I grow in my garden, rub on my exposed shin to deter.
This visit was in March - I suspect that the mosquitos have yet to multiply in huge numbers. It is were in May or June, I think the bugs might have lifted the boat out of the water. The big thing though, is the G!D! Asian carp - big fish and they'll jump into the boat and flop around - makes a bloody mess.
Which design do you prefer? The ones with many screws at an angle or the one you used in the demonstration using another piece of metal disk?
I prefer the one with a wooden piston and a few screws. The crushing action between the wall of the tube wall and the piston works effectively to really crush the egg shells. That's where most of the action happens after the fist pass. I usually give it 3 or 4 passes and get really finely crushed shells.
Great stuff. Yankee ingenuity. I save eggshells all year, crush, plant seedlings can be tender so I use crushed shells near them at planting for cut worm deterrent and in the hole. Shells go directly into the compost. I had to cook crushed shells for my tomatoes diluted with water for to use sprayer for the leaves along with magnesium. Before I had a chance to say stop, my helper sprayed it on my cukes as well as the tomatoes. Best of luck. Praying for the rain, just enough for farmers where the soil dried in many parts of the world. Pray for what our gardens need. BTW we have a backyard garden in our 70's. No dig, no till. Quite a variety. Always searching for diy garden fixes.

I have a DC pump that I use for pumping oil. do you think I could use a computer power supply to run it? I figured since it hooks up to my 12v battery that it might work with the 12v power supply. it uses 13.5 amp. I have an old AT power supply that I want to try. it has an external on/off switch with a white, blue, brown and of course black for ground. wire harness has Black (ground), Yellow (12V), Red (5V), Orange (Power Good), Blue (-12V) and White (-5V) I believe. does this sound correct? do I need to put in resistors for an AT power supply? ty for your assistance. 🙂
Your power supply will be working close to its limit. The in-rush starting current might over load the ATX. It depends on your particular unit. If it does over load try the 5.5 V output The over load does not damage the ATX - it simply goes to sleep.
Can I get 1.67v from the 5v line and 3.33v line?
Yes, you should be able to get that voltage from the power supply. But I don't know how much current you'll be able to draw . My guess it would be at least 5 Amps for most power supplies. In any event, if you overload that voltage combination the power supply will simply turn itself off . The to restart it , remove the load, and unplug the power supply for 15-20 seconds and plug it back in, and it will start up .
What year?
The Linn is about 1928 and the video was made in 2013
Well done!
Must be his first day running a manual 41
I accidentally touched green to yellow now it doesn't power up. How difficult to fix is this?
Bad news - I think you have zapped the power supply - remember that the yellow wire is 12V and the green wire is a signal logic wire that operates at much lower voltage. To repair the power supply you'd likely have to replace one of the integrated circuits. You should be more careful in future.

How much current can we get from -12and +12 combination?
If you look on the nameplate of your power suppy, there is a rating for the minus 12 V supply. Typically it is between 0.4 to 0.6 Amps. That's the limitation even though the plus 12V can supply much more than that. However, I still use the -12 and +12 combination to charge batteries that need more than 12V e.g. a string of four lithium batteries in series needs about 18 to 20 V to charge. It just takes a bit longer to get the batteries charged up.
