My $0.02 on milling technique: if you have the option to choose between lowering the quill or raising the knee on your mill, always raise the knee. The further your quill is extended, the more it is susceptible to vibration. Keeping the shortest distance possible between the table and the head is the path to minimize chatter.
I learned this in high school in machine shop and it makes the most sense as essentially it's about leverage. Minimizing the leverage minimizes the chances of chatter, or having a broken bit yeeted into your gut.
I feel like this should be taught in grade school, as someone who tries to work smarter not harder at work and who has blown his back out 6 times... always push down, never lift up. words of wisdom.
@@andrewmartino6144 This is good advice in general but you can lift more than you can push. Unless you're really heavy or out of shape i guess. If you do need to lift, good technique makes a big difference. Probably the best advice i could offer is that if it's too heavy, you might need a whole different approach. In this case, a cheater pipe on the wrench.
Fireball Tool tested the force different thread sizes can produce, and the smaller ones won surprisingly IIRC! So it was funny to see you grab the big stuff!
Yep, use the smallest thread that is strong enough not to break under the load - larger threads just create more frictional torque to overcome due to their larger diameter.
Which is all totally irrelevant because like typical non-americans you sit there laughing about what didn't fail as if it did. It was poor welds that failed. The threads he was using held perfectly fine.
Yea but don't confuse thread size with diameter. Just because it was large diameter doesn't mean a narrower diameter all thread would have a finer thread. He needed a thicker diameter in order to have a large enough surface to weld and even then you witnessed it sheer.
@@marcellogenovese199 with threads used for fastening (as opposed to power screws) thread diameter is actually the dominant factor, not thread pitch, since most of the applied torque is reacted by friction in the threads and under the head of the bolt/nut.
I love how Marty is just chillin the whole time, like “look dad I know you’re busy working and trying to teach and all… but they wanna see me so scootch”
Mr. Stelter - love the channel. Your variety in projects and builds is what keeps me watching. But... take it from a 40 y/o whom has been carless with chemicals in the automotive field, use gloves while using chemicals and even with things like kerosene. Your skin is porous, as I'm sure you know, and over time will absorb those liquids causing issues and even cancer. Please 🙏 protect your skin and health so that we may continue to enjoy your content.
Gonna add on. I come from the generation that rinsed the aeroshell off of our hands with MEK before lunch. A lot of my friends are dead. Wear gloves. Wear eye pro. Wear hearing pro. Anyone that throws “toughguy bullshit” at you for doing so is 99.99% a desk jockey.
100 percent. My father was a mechanic from 1970 until he retired. Even tho he wasn't on the tools for the last 25 years if his career, he still has heavy damage to his hands. Full open cracks in his finger tips that hurt during winter when his skin drys and the skin is forever stained and rough like old leather. First thing he told me in 2000 when I became a heavy vehicle mechanic "if you can wear PPE, wear it. We didn't know better, but now there is no excuse." Old engine oil and gear oil is Carcinogen and brake clean will destroy your skin. In saying that I still didn't always wear ear muffs and now I'm 33 and have tinnitus and can't sleep without a noise machine or a fan on.
when you were welding the thread on, I just knew it the weld was gonna fail 😂😂 I've watched enough of you and Alec to know the failures you face 😂 Class A content, keep it up man!!!
Me too. Large size all-thread means less weld penetration. Then there was the tension added by tightening the nut and the lateral force from having such a large, unsupported distance between the weld and the wrench (lever) I knew it was going to give at some point.
When it comes to cutting out gaskets you can actually cookie cutter it out. By flipping the gasket on top of the part and taking a tiny hammer and lightly tapping all the way around until it cuts through the gasket and it will not damage the part.
Literally just finished watching Hand Tool Rescue's Rare Antique Blower restoration vid and this was the next vid to pop up for me. Love when the algorithm actually works!
Thanks for sharing the work you're doing on the Beaudry, Will. I love restoration channels and yours is definitely a favorite of mine! ;-] In all seriousness, I love how much effort you put into restoring the tools you're intending to use for your smithing as much as the smithing itself. Merry Christmas and God bless, young man!
Great stuff Will! I gotta say I love watching you restore these older tools, very cool to learn how some of these parts worked and how they built these back in the day! Great stuff! Keep doing what you do!
Fascinating, many thanks. Video production and 'look' is really coming together too. Nice! When you were talking about filling tiny gaps and irregularities, my wooden boat-building brain immediately went to using a length or two of oakum (Natural oiled twine used for caulking planks). Ii might even help take some of the higher-pitched ringing out of the anvil... Ayway, just a thought...
You should get a sheet roller so you can make gasket cutters on the fly. Take a 1 mm piece of steel, roll it, tack it to cylinder and put a cap on it, sharpen it and you're ready. Life time tools.
Love seeing an upload on this channel. It's amazing seeing the learning in progress. And the sense of humor is spot on. The dewidthidizers are some of my favorite bits of equipment.
That end-piece you cut off the lower die with the band-saw could make a nice coaster after applying some anti-rust coating, if it didn't fall and shatter on the floor.
So awesome. Beautiful work on the milled parts. They came out so nice. I cant wait to see that thing running and to see what you create. Stay safe bro.
Honestly this whole process looks like a lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoy restoration projects and watching you tackle a job on a rare piece of giant machinery is great.
Hey, just a friendly milling tip, any time you can keep the spindle up in the head and bring up the table, you can achieve a much more rigid setup. When you extend the spindle out like that you can get more chatter.
As always, your perseverance and grit are an inspiration. I feel encouraged for you watching the pieces come together in a way that honors the equipment and how it was intended to be cared for and put together, which will certainly produce excellent results that will last a lifetime. Well done, sir, and merry Christmas!
Dude! I am so happy to see you’re rocking and rolling and kicking some serious ass! I remember watching you few years back or longer 🤔 working your craft with Alex Steel. I don’t know what happened but those style videos kinda disappeared off my CZcams?? Anyway it’s very cool to see you hammering away and I’m gonna say it, you young buck are in store for a wild and terrific life, I can see it 🤩😎😁😉 and I am going to live vicariously through your videos 🤩!
A little advice from a Old Guy, rigidity is king, in machining parts or pounding steel, the more rigid your setup the better the results. Enroll in your local community college and take a Machine Tool Technology class, it will change every machining operation from a best guess, to a set of logical operations when machining to provide the desired results. Think about what the part is intended to do and how crude or fine the process is and did what you just did add value or save work in the finished product, i.e. the hot steel the ram is going to pound on. Focus your work on where it gives you the best result in what you produce, anything beyond what is needed is wasted work, form should follow function.
If you put a float on top of that oil and needle you would have a carburetor. I was taking one apart the other day, and that reminds me of it very much.
Very nice to see a new video on your powerhammer. Lookin real good so far. Can't wait to see more. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Will. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
so all in all, getting this thing running looks like and fast, easy and straigth forward process 🙂 You are doing great, btw. I enjoy the hammer restoration a lot. Thanks for sharing that. Have a nice holliday and all the best to you!
Great work on the mill and sanding, the parts look brand new, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Nice one Will, good to see the hammer coming together. I’ve just literally bought myself a 160lb Hercules hammer here in the U.K. that needs a little work. Thanks for showing the process of sorting the keys out, that’ll be handy to know. 👍
God bless you Will, appreciate the Scripture about iron sharpening iron, very relatable haha. Love your content, keep shining the light brother, much love and respect!
May not be thrilling stuff Will but I bet it's satisfying as **** when it all fits perfectly. Having said that, the whoops of delight when that key came adrift suggested that was probably the best feeling.👌😁 Merry Christmas, to you and yours, from here in Scotland,🎅 Cheers for now, Dougie.

He is a blacksmith ,they beat things with hammers -chatter doesnt mean anything to him.
@@zumbazumba1 LOL! :)
Good point. Its like choking up on the bat to give a more solid hit to the swing in baseball.

Love your cross in the background ✝️
Thanks- me too!
As a mechanic. We use the method for removing pressed in parts all the time. To save your back push down rather than pulling up
I feel like this should be taught in grade school, as someone who tries to work smarter not harder at work and who has blown his back out 6 times... always push down, never lift up. words of wisdom.
When he was pulling on that wrench it made me appreciate my 1 inch impact lol. Although he had some nice tools i don't lol.

Man Will, you just can't seem to escape from grinding/hand filing or sanding. It's your destiny
when you were welding the thread on, I just knew it the weld was gonna fail 😂😂 I've watched enough of you and Alec to know the failures you face 😂 Class A content, keep it up man!!!
Yeah you definitely weren't alone in that thought haha

Om steel I'd be perfectly confident doing that, but on brass, not so much.
Always love to see the Bridgeport in action
Literally just finished watching Hand Tool Rescue's Rare Antique Blower restoration vid and this was the next vid to pop up for me. Love when the algorithm actually works!
It's amazing how he makes these old tools work ... fun to watch.

As you said you had a friend who just happened to have a 100 year old antique oiler, and you proceeded to restore it. Will you are awesome.
Great video! I especially enjoyed the de-widthifying. Love that you have the Cross and Scriptures behind the hammer!! Keep it up brother!!
love the shop episodes
also good job on the color grading Isiah
NICE! You are using a Hand Tool Rescue wrench!
Upvote for using the oldschool Bat-man scene change LOL loved it
My Pallet Jack Gang t-shirt arrived. Nice material. 0 days without accident on back gets chuckles. I want a Bridgeport.
Good to see Will using the best and only colour dyekem, blue dyekem.
You should get a sheet roller so you can make gasket cutters on the fly. Take a 1 mm piece of steel, roll it, tack it to cylinder and put a cap on it, sharpen it and you're ready. Life time tools.
You and Alec need to do a video in your shop!!!
If all you did was rebuild power hammers every episode I don't think I would miss a single one.
Love seeing an upload on this channel. It's amazing seeing the learning in progress. And the sense of humor is spot on.
The dewidthidizers are some of my favorite bits of equipment.
Welcome back, Will. These are the videos I knew ya had in ya
That end-piece you cut off the lower die with the band-saw could make a nice coaster after applying some anti-rust coating, if it didn't fall and shatter on the floor.
It's a never ending saga...

Well done Will, the swinging weight is a old millwright technique, and is known as a tup here in the UK.
I really enjoy watching you work on these large machines. Very cool old school stuff. Cheers and Merry Christman.
It's amazing how many times the answer to an engineering problem is to, hit it harder with something bigger.

Thank you for sharing your expertise
One of my favorite channel!
Love how its coming along looking awesome can't wait to see it run and pound some hot steel.
Video/Audio quality is top notch Will. Content was very fun. Keep up the good work!
I liked the batman scene switch! Mr Bruce Wayne....;)
I'm so excited for you! Is it weird that seeing you refurbish old equipment is so interesting to me?

Boom nice job bringing back that oiler! Saved from the trash 👌
It’s nice to see your progress. Good work, young man.
hey Will is back !! always a pleasure.

Thank You from an old man for doing the oiler. Nice work!
Merry Christmas Will.
A "continuous loss" oiler. Nice!
Hammering X forever.
Awesome content, cant wait to see what you make when everything is up and running!
Will! Great video. Perfect length! I appreciate you man. God bless.
I saw your name and power hammer restorations and had a Vietnam style flashback… best of luck
Love watching your channel always enjoy the highs and the lows it shows we are all human 😀 ❤
Getting close, I am excited, not that I dislike the shop work, quite the opposite, but excited to see some production.
God bless you Will, appreciate the Scripture about iron sharpening iron, very relatable haha. Love your content, keep shining the light brother, much love and respect!
Best Vippin ad I've ever seen! The rest of the video was good too.
Getting the job done. Well done.
great episode, as usual.
Having dumped an International Harvester DT466 engine off a pallet jack I think I need to order one of those shirts.
Will, I enjoy your videos, please keep them coming
Nice work Will.
Nice video! Can't wait to see it in action!
Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Will!!!
It's looking good there, Will!
Love your videos Will!
Most Beaudry's only go to 10,... This one goes to 11.... lol!! Nice that you are making videos again Will! We have missed ya!
7:20 best cut ever lol
great job Will!
U have done Incredible job bro
Merry Christmas Will!!! 🤱🏽✝️🎄🎁
Will, me boy, you gotta turn those welding settings way up when working with those metal thicknesses
You are having way too much fun!

I remember on the live steam thinking what Will is up to this time.
Great video!
