Incidental Information
United States
Registrace 18. 09. 2017
My name is Mark. I am retired from a career in Electronics, Engineering and Technology Management in Higher Education, and related fields. I have spent my entire life wrenching, maintaining and building stuff in a wide variety of technical environments. I'd like to share some of the things I've learned in my lifetime at the elbows of the many brilliant scientists, engineers and skilled tradesmen with whom I've been fortunate to work. I'll also try to cover the Incidental facts that tie together the physics, chemistry, electro-magnetics and history in these fields which we enjoy. Video focus will be largely project oriented and liberally spattered with anecdotes, technical facts or history (maybe a story now and then) about the subject at hand. Hence the name "Incidental Information". These videos are intended to be informative and thought provoking, not entertaining. We hope you enjoy.
Workholding Dilemna
Intended this to be a "short" but apparently it didn't meet all the short criteria. So, here it is as a very brief video. I do enjoy laughing at myself sometimes.

Finishing of adapters and some additional comments @12:00 about setting up indexable fixturing and chuck grinding. Trail-out music by my youngest teenager.

Grinding wheel adapters for the Deckel style SO T&C grinder are not easy to come by. Machining precise tapers and balanced tooling need not be feared!
Rebuilding Bridgeport Mill - Part 3
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 5 lety
Compiled over the last 9 months this video is a little disjointed. But what it lacks in continuity it more than makes up for in content. If you're new to machine rebuilding this should provide plenty of detail. The money shot comes at 55 minutes, but requires watching most of the video to know how we get there. Relax and enjoy. Thanks for your patience. Here are the links to the books I mention...
Making a Grinding Wheel Balancing Arbor

Balancing rigs for surface grinding wheels seem very pricey for their simplicity. But their necessity can't be overstated. So we're making one. How hard could it be? Link to adapter specs: www.wmsopko.com/sopko_04_to_30.htm

An anniversary edition: A little retrospection and a look ahead, as well as a few random bits behind the scenes.
Antenna Feeder Repair and Weatherproofing+
zhlédnutí 767Před 5 lety
Just a quick (ie. poorly shot) video as the opportunity presented itself. I demonstrate my tried and true internal weatherproofing and corrosion protection for coax and replace a PL-259. All antenna work should wait for the worst weather because Murphy dislikes bad weather. I picked a nice day and , well, things didn't go as planned. There's even a little blood and gore if you watch closely. He...

The conclusion: This was more than I bargained for but after several weeks, and lots of editing, we finally completed the project.
Radio Transmission Lines - Part 3

Painfully long, but I really didn't have enough for a fourth part. Fortunately, the latter half is a less technical "show n tell" to show some of the ideas of this series in real applications. Thanks for watching.

This is the "meat" of this three part series.
Radio Transmission Lines - Part 1
zhlédnutí 569Před 5 lety
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: This is for all you hobbyists who have struggled to get a grasp on the vagaries of transmission line fundamentals. This is my attempt at explaining transmission lines using as little mathematical analysis as possible. Even so, it's long and difficult to watch. This is not a very professional video. Most of this was shot twice, some as much a five times. It's (I'm) not go...
Restoring a Clausing 6x12 Surface Grinder- Part 1
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed 5 lety
Another "Not quite ready for Prime Time" release of soft machine porn. Even though this is only a "Rustoleum Rebuild", it demonstrates the tedious tasks involved in getting a machine serviceable after years of neglect. This is only reassembly of the column! Part 2 will hopefully complete the saddle, table, spindle and electrical. Well, it might be three parts...
