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...

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 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.

    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.

      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

      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.

    @JohnDoeEagle1 Před rokem

    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.
