Power powder trickler
I needed a trickler for loading powder, I was doing by hand before and was tedious so I made a power trickler with a vibrating motor from a cell phone

88 Sportster Blinker Mod, Latching switch
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 2 lety
The one thing I really hated was the blinker switches on my 88 Sportster. To hold the switch was ridiculous, and you can’t buy latching switches. So I came up with this idea, turns the blinker into a push on push off system. There are many switches that will work just make sure they are 12 volt. And you need two of them. www.amazon.com/Locking-Switch-Trigger-Module-Button/dp/B07P917YK6/ref=sr_1...

czcams.com/video/JsXy04_3rAw/video.html czcams.com/video/8_F1Lv1VZ9c/video.html Hi guys, well this is the biggest payback too me. To have some people willing to try, I showed them that it could be done and they took the idea and made it their own. I’m proud to see Michael and Nick do this. Thank you both for sharing this with me.

Since mr bullet feeder motors are not available anymore we have to create your own solution and this is mine. And they where the best motor for our diy bullet feeders.
Dillon Square Deal B Case Feeder Measurements
zhlédnutí 823Před 4 lety
One of my viewers (Roy) had some questions of measurements on the Case Feeder. So I did this short video to go some idea of what I did. As I said before there are no plans I did this as a one-off design and just worked it as I went. This is only what I did to make it work so the measurements are not set in stone.

I've both two of these pumps and I can get anything to come out of the bleeder screw but if I gravity bleed them it works?? Wtf am I doing wrong
I ordered the NOYITO version because they were cheapest and have found they don't work. The NO/COM/NC block doesn't work? The only way to switch the relay on is through the pigtail, and it didn't work long before it melted in my hands, lol. I'll try the exact ones you used next.
Hi Chris, I hope you have good luck with the new relays. Like I said to so many folks before , I only did this for my own. So it takes trial and error and understanding of the wiring, Good luck brother!
All this time I thought I had a wiring issue! LOL! I've got mine torn apart to delete my turn signals and use a LED brake light with integrated turn signals. I knew that I needed a new flasher, but now I know that I NEED THESE!! Thanks!
Hi Chris, it got to be a real pain holding the turn switch so I id this. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching
The best video I ever seen THANK YOU FOR THAT SIR
Just used it not long ago, so nice to be able to do it with out help. Best $20 some thing I spent. Thanks for watching
KILLER TIP ON THAT TEFLON TAPE BROTHA!!!
That cheap little tool has done a lot of work for me. Thanks for watching
Just fill the res up after sucking it out and don’t bother with the stupid filler
I used this kit instead of a pickle jar this time. It bleeds pretty slow but I like the auto top off. I pumped the brakes on top of using this and it worked much faster.
Now I had to buy the one I have and get nothing for this video. It's just a useful tool and makes it so one man can do it. Thanks for watching Stew
Iam glad I found this video, I have an 88 sportster and it's a headache holding in the turn button. Thank you.
Hi Michael, I did this as a one-off project. No plans to work off of, just some notes on my bench. And you are right it was a pain holding the turn switch. this works good. You just have to be good with wiring. Thanks for watching
Thank you dad. Very helpful video
it's a cheap tool but it helps do the job
I like to clean in and around the disassembled primer seating assembly before every use, especially when having problems. I rotate the "cup" 90 degrees when having issues, before taking apart. Sometime that helps. I like to use a "C" clamp to hold the primer seater down while screwing in the Allen Set Screw.
Psi?
been running 100 psi
This video is perfect. Saved my a$s at work after I tore down the shops 1911 and could figure out the sear spring.
I'm glad this helped you out Josh, I knew some people needed a little help now and then. Harry
Thanks for the video! My CM9 was both gritty and a jam-a-matic. Dropped the complete slide into the ultrasonic cleaner at work and a whole bunch of metal chips washed out of that little pistola. That was 12 years ago and it has yet to experience a single malfunction after the bath. It is also one of the most accurate pistols I have ever shot.
They are a production gun sometimes you have to smooth them out a little, thanks for watching
Hey I have a question my convertible hood is old and peeling which k believe is making it leak on both the driver and passenger side is there something I can do to stop it that doesn’t involve a new hood . Having an operable hood is not important to me
Hi there, once the top gets old enough it starts to curl. I know you said you don't care if the top goes up and down. But if you have someone handy they might be able to do something with maybe some Gorilla Tape to reform the edges to keep the water from getting in. Sorry best I can say to you, good luck
No need to apologize, thank you for the suggestion. I was using tape for the moment will try gorilla tape or flexseal next.
@@bettiepugh9823 Got the same problem. How did it work out for you?
Polish then dry lube sparingly.
best video i've seen on complete 1911 takedown. thank you!
Well thank you Mark, I'm glad this helped you out. All you need is someone to show you how. Now you have for life, good luck and take care. Harry
Are you just doing each wheel until clear clean fluid comes out?
Yes one wheel at a time, now you do pull air through the bleeder threads so you will always see some air coming out. Just had to do my wife's car again last summer after I did some work to it. I was so easy doing it by myself, thanks for watching.
Nice video my man.
Simple fix and works well, thanks for watching
I put the mag catch in, and cant pull the trigger
That's odd, something is hung up. Remove the mag release and move the trigger back and forth, if that's good then put the mag release back in but make sure the trigger is pulled towards the muzzle.
Just used this video to take down my Tisas Commander 1911 9mm to replace the trigger. Kudos, sir.
You're very welcome
Very nice. Can you share the file
Perfect video demonstration. Thank you. Makes me wanna buy a builders kit.
You are welcome, hope this helped you out
Thanks so much for this 👍
anything is possible if you try hard enough, thanks for watching
That happened to me with .45 Colt cases head stamped blank. Worked like a charm for that with no primer set back as blanks.
I sort all my brass now and set aside the large holes.
The biggest problem I had was that (fill in with bad language) disconnector and sear. ). After that no problems. Very good very clear how to do video and it thanks.
Once someone shows you how, you'll have it forever. Glad it helped you
great information! i think the sharpening rod is ceramic! gonna get the cw45 been watching every vid about kahr.
Yes the rod is ceramic and very fine. It did make a big difference on how it felt, smooth wise. Thanks for watching
Cool video. I found one like this today in a storage unit.
Interesting! Every now and then I have a primer that somehow gets pressed in sideways. I noticed a snappy feeling sometimes in the down stroke. On an empty shell plate i can see the primer jump up, tumble sideways and sometimes even hopping out of the cup. I’ll give your methode a try. Thank you!
Every now and then I run into something that's not right, that's when I go into how to make it right or best I can. So I hope this helps you out.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to post this!
Sorry I'm so late getting back, thank you for your comment.
Thanks fot sharing, now im more confident bleeding my break
Hi Al, this just a tool I bought for working one man on a car. It worked good enough that I did this video. Some say that they still see air bubbles after bleeding for awhile and that is normal, and talked to my friend who is a professional mechanic. He said even the high end bleeders do the same thing. So I'm happy with it, hope it all works out for you.
I bought one. It sucks. Pump by foot works better
Thank you so much! This is the best 1911 disassembly AND RE-assembly I have found; some videos don't even show the re-assembly. Thanks for all your tips too!
Glad to be a help to you. When I did this years ago I wanted to help folks out. Thanks for watching and the good reply.
A person shouldn't have to go through all this crap with a gun. Kahr's are a Chinese POS weapon
this is especially useful with smaller loads for pistol or revolver. Great choice.
Legit video
Thanks Dan, just passing on the things I know, and thanks for watching
Very nice. How do you figure-out compression height for a specific spring weight? Is it different depending on the pistol type?
Hi Patrick, I have only done this with a full size 1911, the height I have set for 5" 1911 and the height stays the same and the pull gauge tells the weight. I'm sure you can find different compression heights for other firearms they'll be listed just have to look for them. Thanks for watching!
Great demo thanks for explaining 👍👍
You're welcome Adam, there was a time when I didn't know how to this many years ago. So I put this together to help others
Nicely Done! Going to pick one up tomorrow. I've done it the old fashioned way a few times telling someone to pump and hold when I say so and its a long slow process. Your brake fluid looked pretty good, most people let it get to near oil black. Thanks much!
It make it a one man show, just make sure your air compressor has enough CFM
Nice way of explaining and showing how to do the jobb, Greetings from Sweden
Thank you ,I try to share what I have learned over the years. Thanks for watching!!
good idea and good video. Thanks
Well thank you Jerald, I like making the things I need, thanks for your input
Very useful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rick, makes pulling bad loads a lot faster. Thanks for watching
It's been a while since you made this video, curious if you make the bullet feeders/sell them??? If so, please let me know! Thanks
Sorry I don't sell them, I did this as a favor to a friend.
Very poor quality control on these. Mine didn’t even have an opening on the rubber fitting tip. Didn’t work at all even using the tube alone. IMO it’s worth spending a bit more. This is junk.
Awesome mate! /Sweden
Thanks! That was my very first video, thanks for watching
@7:52 crack my nutt lmfao
Melting down a huge cast iron dutch oven full of lead wheel weights using a high output LP turbo burner and a turkey/fish fryer without a PID is a disaster waiting to happen. Less is more and more is less. You want to bring them up to somewhere between 621 - 700 degrees slowly and carefully monitor the temp. Zinc won't melt at that temp range but all of the lead/tin/antimony will be completely liquid and ready to pour. The magnet idea was very clever and very similar to how the Frankfort Arsenal (SKU: 909271) magnet works to recover stainless steel media pins in wet case tumblers. They aren't rated for that kind of heat though and making one using your idea would be preferred. Your PID thermocouple stand is also very clever and works great. It always amazes me how us reloaders/bullet casters have to design and fabricate so much of our tooling ourselves. No one makes a affordable commercially available one for the masses to buy. I've made a bunch of my own reloading/casting tools. Some of them are my PID digital temp control boxes and a metal stand to hold and adjust the thermocouple probe in casting pots. I've also made steel ingot molds, berm lead recovery shaker boxes and various other mining tools, casting mallets, large smelting pot setups, ladles, paper/silhouette target holders. I have made my own swinging steel plate targets, reloading benches, single reloading press steel stands anchored to the concrete floor (kinda like old grinder stands with a steel square tubing pole and top/bottom steel plates etc etc etc. I suppose they figure if we are smart enough and mechanically inclined enough to reload and cast bullets we can build our own equipment. You can remove Zinc that has contaminated your lead alloy using careful temp control and powder pure sulfur. While doing this you must be very careful because the fumes are toxic. A good quality 3M P100 respirator is a must. It also flashes and bursts into flames so it must be done outside in a clear area void of fire hazards and you remaining upwind of the fumes. Tie a piece of toilet paper to a stick and insert it in the ground near you to keep a eye on wind direction. It's far easier to take your time and be more careful to start with. It seems every guy with a match and a LP turkey/fish fryer is melting their own scrap lead these days. Us more experienced guys wouldn't want anything they made or loaded. The same guys overcharge and make (((((ATOMIC))))) barrel burner loads because HOTTER is always better as well.
I'm glad you're using your Ingenuity to work for you, I do things as I need them
Has to be older then the one i have it's blue, and i bought it in 1977.
Hi Louis, I did paint this one but before it was painted I could traces of blue paint and I think the base was replaced. But all in all a great old press, thanks for watching
I noticed you did not discuss any polishing of parts. Do you not recommend doing that and letting the firearm just wear polish parts?
I thought about talking about it but seems when I do that stuff CZcams deletes my videos. So this was just a disassembly and reassembly video. And yes that gun was polished for smooth operation and crisp trigger.
Thanks for the great info
Thanks Jim, just an idea for my problem
Thanks, you did that so easy and fast
Hope it helped you out Len, thanks for watching
