- Here's a few tricks to get you out of trouble on your next 4x4 offroad expedition in the rental car.
1:00 machining a mock up crankcase drain hole for demo purposes
4:00 how to destroy threads like a Dutch farm boy
6:00 how to drill and tap a hole using only a bolt
8:30 how to make a gasket from copper wire

HYDRAULIC TESTING OF THE PLUG VIDEO here: • Manly-Man Skill: Repai... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Here I sit, broken hearted. There were some threads, but they departed. It's up in the rails, the location's a sin. Me too big to reach, I need a Nguyen. She went halfway in and she started to curse, and my 1/2 inch Milwaukee made it much worse. I walked 'er back out with a jack and a pipe, 7 extensions and a big fuckin snipe. Now there is one bolt where there used to be dual, as I browse AvE on my Powerfist stool. I won't be defeated by the bolt-hole of lore, I'll weld that prick in there if the hole won't restore
How this guy uses the English language is extraordinary.
i only watch it for his use of words. fabricobble had me dying.
Reminds me a diddely bit of Nedideli Flanders XD
Mr2at also : Ah ben Ah ben, tabarouette :D (that's french though)
tabarouette. (French-Canadian) Soft and polite profanity used to emphasize an emotion, an impression. Mild version of french-canadian curse word tabarnak.
Not only English, he butchers all the languages!
"Look around make sure no one noticed" 😂 I feel that
Arsrightden
I felt like he was calling me out personally lol
Right
His witticisms are what I watch for. My favorite one EVER- "Crank that fucker down tight, REAL TIGHT. So tight the casing cracks, then back it off a ¼ turn and call over the apprentice"
Little did I know that 7 years after I first watched this video that the knowledge you passed on would save the day. I was working on some equipment today and there were 4 blind holes that needed to be cleaned out and re-threaded. The taps of course were missing from the set and it's a Sunday. But by God I had grade 8 bolts and a angle grinder.
Did you just stand in front of a what is essentially pneumatic gun loaded with a steel bolt?? That's what I call confidence in your repair!
stefantrethan
Every year many people are enucleated by champagne corks, so my gut feeling is to avoid standing in the way of pressurized tank plugs! Maybe your math is right, but I still can't help the cringe! :)
He did say ,"hold my beer"
@@racerx5379 Yes and much less dangerrated than champagne cork projectalaters.
If he actually meant KTM bicycle we should be experiencing some cold forged 7075 T6 aluminum. Sometimes densed by compression as a raw alloy chunk. And finally, heat-treated e. g. hard anodized - something, something...
So, ya no pneumatic bolts should fly.
TBH just taka look on the size of this bolt. You would need thousands of bars pressure to rip it off.
Airguns are not working on more than 300 bar. You won't find there such a chunky steel bolt. He has there like what? 150bar? 200bar? You need VERY powerful carbine ammunition to perform pressures that would become danger here.
I feel OP here. I cringed. He even touched the bolt after just 'lubing' it up. I cringed *doubly.*
Justified? I don'd know, and I don't care. But Cringe I Did.
I only come here to learn new words.......

Great stuff, AvE
It's not every day a YT comment makes me literally laugh out loud, but christ, when it does...
@Lassi Kinnunen please don't tell me you're one of those close minded persons who are not willing to try new things out ;)
sneak into the office and lay it on his desk.. classic move :D
Am dutch, know farmers. Can confirm: stripping threads and destroying machinery is something they're very good at. Proud even.
They're also above average in fixing stuff though.
@@djmips Got to be.

@@STG44VOLVO 't komt wel goud.
Gotta learn that crossed threads are better than thread locker. Unless someone else did it before you
Things to add to my list of equipment to get: Lathe
It's up there on my list too. BTW, I love your channel and I'm happy to bump into you here...even if you are a woman pretending to be a chemistry man.
Buy a Lathe‽ Don't be a baby. Or a sap. Or a sappy baby. Instead, get your man card donkey-punched and build your own Lathe from scrap aluminum and raw testosterone, a la Dave Gingery! Oh, hey... Mr. Rage, you could probably synthesize the testosterone!

"The internet, she's good for something more that the naked ladies heh?" LOL
Yes, and 4 years later its still only any good for this guys videos and the NoOdS.
This video is actually really awesome and is a great way of getting around not having all the tools that a machinist has
I'm starting to think you've been hired by the tap consortium to teach people destroying taps is normal to up their sales.
+AvE you can't stop me, I'll get the word out! Damn, this conspiracy runs deep, I think they've teamed up with the gin industry to slow me down, I feel a nap coming on.

Had to laugh, the other day my 20 y.o. son who is an apprentice welder in Australia, called some work he saw as skookum, i laughed my arse off !!1
...and Tennessean.
Such a wealth of knowledge. Hopefully one of these pearls sinks in for when it counts.
Have no idea what I'm watching but I love the commentary. It's like the bastard cousin of Red Green whose day job is a nuclear engineer.
😂 😂 😂 🤖👍👍👍
If it ain't broke, you're not trying
it drives me freakin crazy that not once have I seen a lathe on the walking dead. Hell i've never even seen anyone with a welder! Seems down right essential.
+Brady Rose To be honest I think if we grabbed a neolithic tool maker from 100,000 years ago he'd be facepalming at TWD's characters abilities to make tools and weapons.
+Brady Rose Where's the A team when ya need em!... What a great new show idea - A team vs the Zombies!

Nothing tighter than stripped!
+Nick Moore ain't that the truth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Nick Moore "tighten until it goes loose, then back of quarter turn"
+spodule6000 lmao
Dont how long it will take or if you'll ever see this comment but if you do and the next time your tapping stuff, for every full turn you do on the tap down do a qtr turn back. it brakes the slag and lets you cut ur thread with less effort hope it help keep fighting the good fight cheers
I was about to mention this, actually.
@@scurvofpcp I mentioned this years back in one of his videos and he got quite stroppy! No excuse for breaking a tap that size.
Agreed! Break and clear yer frickin chips!
Exactly what I thought when he fuckin railed the aluminimum with no chip breakulation
I can't believe you broke a tap in aluminum. That's like snapping your crank in a grandmother 😂
Ed Smelly 69 likes. Well done.
Ed Smelly it’s not a power tap it’s a hand tap lol
Aluminium is very sticky to tap. If'n it aint lubed up but good you'll break taps all day.
Shaun Stephens cutting aluminum with an angle grinder with abrasive wheel is also pretty risky, so I heard
@@duminicad Ali can clog the wheel if you don't take it very slowly. It melts rather than sparks out. If you get a full circle of thick ali around the cutting disc it can cause it to shatter (as it expands and contracts).
I'm a software guy. I hate working on hardware. But owning a German car and watching your channel is inspiring me to get my hands dirty.
And your lungs ;)

+John Gotts The Germans are not logical, keep that in mind.
+Majin Snake Oh yeah, and they are notoriously arrogant.
Wouldnt it be easier to carry a small metalworking lathe in your boot for this kind of emergency?
Lol
He wears a size 9.5. Too small of a boot. Ya'd think he has a Crown Vic or Buick with a big ass trunk though.
Tom Larson Trunk? He rides an elephant?
"the right way is going to be the best way 99% of the time"
This is my first video of yours that I’ve seen. You bring happiness in the form of mechanical jargon and jokes, subscribing for sure.
This is great. Self tapping screw tap, compression metal gaskets, and a broken real tap in the process. The things you do just for our love.
I used this today for re-tapping fairing mounting holes on my motorcycle. Worked great, you are truly an inspiration.
Oh man, I remember when this was first uploaded... Man this has become a classic...
I'm watching it again because I didn't remember watching it till I started it lol
I just laugh my ass off every time I watch one of your videos. I am never going to have the tools to do anything in them, or the knowledge of everything that you have, but I enjoy watching them immensely. For the laughs, I thank you.
You have no clue how helpful this is
Its things like this I find while repairing machines and think hmm somebody was either really good with the wrong tools or really bad with the right tools.
"You're gonna want to know somebody with a lathe"
Good thing I have one... and it was originally pedal powered (flat belt) so if there's ever something to machine during a long term power outage.... we can get it done! But then I won't have youtube to look up how to do it!
200 watts of solar panels, a lithium ion battery pack, charge controller and inverter and you should be able to keep a lappy and cellphone going.
Thanks for the video! I've used the 'ol "make your own tap" a million times, but never would have thought to use wrapped solid copper wire as a gasket. Well done.
What great timing, I just did this last week. The hardware store was closed and I did not have the right size tap. Good to see I'm not the only impatient cheap sucker out there.
Gold, pure gold.
Lovely little trick.
I have seen the copper wires stuffed in the bolt hole to fill up the knackered threads thing but I haven't seen a coil used as a gasket.
Love these videos! When tapping a thread: 3/4 turn in, 1/4 turn out (repeat ad infinitum) clears the swarf and avoids breakalisation of the tappety tap tap.
My favorite last words.
I saw this on the internet.
Hold my beer.
Its ok I'm a god damn genius.
Gotta love it.
As a fellow who often times needs to pull a solution to any problem out of his 4th point of contact. This is a handy skill to have.
Looks like that brand spankin new oil plug will Chooch!! 😀👌 Mighty fine work.
"cunsten targlide" :'D
made my day :DDD
this was too far down the comment. love it
Or his newer version, cuntstain tongueglide.
I don't know why I watched this video. It was just on autoplay.
This was worth every second.
First, the fact that it worked out is incredible.
Second, your commentary was INCREDIBLE and much enjoyed. Thank you!
You made me jump when you showed me that broken tap. Give a guy a warning. If you put a nut on that home made tap before you started filing the bolt, when you unscrewed the nut, it would help clean up the thread.
Ok......I've been one to perform some expert field fuckery before. One of my best was custom thermoforming 1/4" polycarbonate conveyor guarding for McCains up in Coaldale, AB (near Medicine Hat) with nothing more than brute force and heat guns. Another was machining a conveyor shaft on a drillpress with a file and cutting a keyway with a wood chisel and a drillbit I squared off on a grinder.....but this. This is a great one! NEVER seen it done and I WILL remember it!
I keep coming back to this one.
One of your best videos, love the language and commentary.
oh you can always fuck it up more
Naptown Squid I was just going to say, "watch me."
hold my beer
When I was doing fleet maintenance, an owner operator told me he had a pinhole in his right side fuel tank on his Freightliner and wanted to borrow my cordless drill and a self tapping screw with some shmoo on it to seal the hole. I set the drill so it would just barely drive the screw and when I looked again he had a hole about half inch in the tank with diesel fuel pissing out. He had changed the setting to not just full speed but he even selected hammer drill.
Brilliant trick. I've been making my own taps out of bolts for quite a while ...you know its the right pitch :)
The diy crush washer is awesome!
Done it before. It aint purdy, but she works!
stop talking about my mom like that!
+Owen Williams lmao
we got a saying in Maine, taint tha looks its the havyer.

Love it!
Watched this yesterday morning and needed it yesterday afternoon (for a slightly different application). Can't tell you how much it saved me. Thanks!
It verks!
Been watching your videos for years and it finally paid off : ) Stripped the threads on of one of my bike's exhaust mounts long after the hardware stores had closed and this trick work like a charm.
Love your videos man. Useful information with a healthy dose of humor. Focus you faaak. I find myself saying that all the time when my iPhone won't cooperate. Lol.
dude, ive watched a few of your videos and every single one has helped me out. you kick ass!!!!
Canadians are a friendly people eh!
stuff like this is why im addicted to this channel dude. i fixed a broken air hammer that's been in my toolbox for years due to the inspiration, even.
Watched some of your vids, out of needing to remove a broken tap then needing to repair a stripped oil plug. Really good info and the humor will probably keep me from cussing and throwing wreches, haha! Thanks
You had me right up to "I got a feather touch"...
I thought for a moment my country was being taken a mickey at. But then I realized thinking in the morning isnt always the right thing to do. Being Dutch, i dont discombobulate easily. Thanks for reminding me of the old tappybolt trick.
Having watched this about a year ago, it got me out the shit today. Thank you AvE, you're a bloody credit to CZcams.
I have literally started recording a list of me crazy sayings that you come up with!! Once again this video is chock-full of laughs and knowledge! Love this channel!
Who the f*** hits dislike ona video like this? What did you not like?
Parts hangers that say "REPLACE REPLACE REPLACE!"
Although in their defense, it sometimes is the right way.
that is what I am wondering. Serously, WTF could you not love about this vidgeo?
Maybe the commenter sells KTM parts? I've got one. KTM stands for Kosts Too Much.
Alcamahol ish a fffphactor
The toothpaste he used
The copper wire gasket is awesome. You know a hack is good when you want to break something to try it out.
I had to pause the video 2 minutes in to figure out if I was having some sort of stroke.
Your use of words is amazing 🤣
Been doing this one for years, thanks to my grandfather. Saved me many times
Thank you virus! You have repartee my love of this channel!
Wow finally someone using a file correctly, even those who claim to be "ace" machinists are frequently seen see-sawing their way to a blunt file, grand. Cheers. PS: good practical fix in a tight spot.
This was tested by the Fireball Tool channel. Filling backwards causes zero wear. It’s just an old wives tale.
@@NavinF try it for yourself on a steel cutting edge like a chainsaw cutter or depth gauge, cheers
Thanks for making the video. I have used this trick quite a few times while working in the Bahamas, and BVI. It works good in a pinch.
soooo i had a situation at hand 2 days ago and i was cursing up a storm then i remembered "wait a second you saw its video 1or 2 years ago" you safed be about almost 2 days of work counting the time i would have needed to drive back to the shop and to the worksite again defenetly buying 2 -3 shirts as a thankyou :D
All ur videos have good humor in them but this one I found especially extra funny .... I assume most people that are gonna actually use this are dealership mechanics and people who flip cars lol still cool trick
I think that repair deserves a "bad ass" from Ichiban Moto.
Excellent work!
Watched a number of AvE's videos more than once. Can't articulate why but I love this one.
I just got promoted to the service department of my work. The other guy was there for 11 years and I don't know shit about jack, but the things I've learned from you, and watching your vidjayos have already come in handy on more than one occasion in the short time I've been in this job. Hydraulics kind of suck, the wiring issues I'm fairly decent at figuring out, thee things I've learned from your so far have been indespencible. Thank you
This works great!
My clutch slave cylinder in my jeep aluminimum bell housing is still there. 3 years now.
AvE you saved me! Yesterday I made the rook mistake of cross threading a sparkplug in my aluminum headed Yamaha. But I took an old plug, made it into a tap like you did, took literally 30 seconds, then I was off enjoying my ride!!!! Worked great! The threads were fucked. The plug wouldn't go in at all. Great idea! Thank you!
Back in the 70s blew a plug clean out of the head on a yamaha dt 400 in the middle of nowhere.Went to the nearest farm and used an old post bolt which I filed to a taper and screwed it in.Took 3 hours total.Thank god the cylinder head had a plug in both sides.It lasted till I sold the bike 4 years later
I hope when that plug blows out it don't go where I think its going.
Fuckin send it, it's just aluminum or magnesium. Most likely just blow out the exhaust.....Maybe? lol
@@bill605able x
I've learned a lot and had many a laugh so first off thanks! I just stumbled upon this video and I've been tapping parts on a lathe for years using the same method you used by starting the threads with the tailstock. If you get the first couple threads started, take it out of the tailstock and just put a T-handle on the tap. Turn the speed down to 20-40 RPMs. Then hold on just enough that it keeps tapping. It'll tell you when to stop and break the chips without ever breaking the tap.
I knew that trick with the bolt having ridden old British motorbikes 50 years ago. The copper wire! Why did I never think of that one? Brilliant.
I would have loved to see how you files themther grooves so nice
Thats some proper Pfusch! :D
+Stefan Gotteswinter Whats next? Making an anvil with 2m of railroad track and a bag of thermite?
+Stefan Gotteswinter I'm wit Stefan...we need to see some explosives action. And not that chincy, mommas-boy, girl band, my vagina hurts Tannerite crap either.
+stefantrethan only after a few liters of beer in their system
+Stefan Gotteswinter I'd love to see that video. :-)
Oh wait...
Hold my beer...
Murks verks just as well.....:-p
These tricks have saved me several times. I actually have a handful of bolts converted into taps in my toolbox. Particularly of the large and the left handed varieties.
just discovered your channel and i already love it! Great content!
I haven't seen that done in years, really cool video dude, thanks again.
"It just... never... ends." Makes me laugh in every single video.
I really enjoy almost all your videos but this sort of information is friggin' priceless. Cheers m'man, I really appreciate it.
Love yee way of thalkin, your engineering principles are on point too. Thank you and keep them coming.
5:28 what the hell kinda swearing is that?! xD
THIS is why I love this guy.
Hah I quote this dude all the time! great info and funny. Win win.
Makes me want to take a much closer look at any vehicle I ever buy in the future. Video is quite enjoyable. At least some sizes of fasteners are available with thread cutting capability, have used them myself. Making your own with hardened bolts is a very good idea. What we have here is someone really understanding a problem and solving it in a very intelligent way.
I like all the extra slang when u teach , it actually makes me think twice about what u just said , to see if u were making a joke or being real haha , I love it
"Son of a diddly?" What are you, Ned Flanders?
Hahahahaha as a Dutch guy I fucking loved your dutch impressions :D
Of all the vidjayoes I’ve watched, this one is amazing. Never come across that type of bodge for a copper washer, or cutting a bolt in to a tap. Thank you very much.
This will always be one of my favorite videos!
Lathe trick: Bolt a small piece of angle iron to the vertical surface of your tailstock under the spindle and a matching one on the carriage, bolt them together. Set the threading gears to feed at your tap TPI and you can power-feed the cut, gives you a cleaner start. And, use the same idea with a pipe die if you can’t cut tapered threads on your machine. Put a flat side of the tool post center of the chuck, hold the die holder against that - the handle on the ways. Power feed it to get it started. Biggest help on PVC pipe, if you’ve ever tried to tread it by hand you know it’s almost impossible to get started and run straight.
+stefantrethan "As long as you do everything right, nothing bad will happen" Oh boy. You KNOW it's going to be an exciting day when you hear that phrase.
+AvE like thusly:
i19.photobucket.com/albums/b159/deansofidaho/Machine/c4.jpg
+AvE
For using a tap in your tailstock - Slide the tailstock up to
the carriage, where they hit you fashion a “trailer hitch”, like hooking a hay
wagon to a tractor. I used two pieces of angle iron, one mounted on the tail
stock, one on the carriage - positioned so they overlap when you bring the two
together. You need to drill holes in both pieces that will line up so you can
bolt them together - like dropping a pin in your hay wagon hitch. When you
thread feed your carriage the tailstock will trailer along.
For NPTM - I have a hard time starting hand held pipe dies
especially on larger pipe or on PVC, my dies may not be 100% sharp. Keeping the
die straight, square and applying enough linear force to keep the threads
cutting instead of just chamfering the square edge off is asking a lot from me,
I don’t do it every day. Using the lathe ( this does not involve the
tailstock.) you need a square tool post for this, center the post in front of
the chuck, use it as a backing plate to square the ( hand held ) die holder to
the end of the pipe. Move the carriage in and sandwich the die between the post
and the end of the pipe. That gives you straight and square Set the threading
feed at the corresponding count. Let the handle of the holder hit the ways instead
gripping it to keep it from rotating. Power feeding in the carriage moves the
die in at the correct TPI, but make sure you stop before the pipe reaches
though the die and hits the tool post. You can go farther if you need to now
but back the carriage off.
Along with not threading pipe every day I don’t write every
day, if this doesn’t get you there I’ll have to figure out how to load pictures
into a comment. That might take a while.
+Nimikos I've done it where you put a drill chuck in the tailstock and move it up to the part to get it started straight but bolting the carriage to the tailstock that's a handy way to power tap
+Nimikos : OR make an adapter to mount the tap on the carriage/toolholder (on centre) and avoid the inaccuracy of an off-centre unlocked tailstock.
There's more than one way to use a lathe.
There's naked ladies on the internet? Goddamnit, why am I the last to find out these things.
Fantastic. Thanks for leaving this up AvE.
I stripped the oil drain bolt in my ktm, went youtube searching for helicoil videos and stumbled across this.....this is the most amazing video i've ever seen
Love your vids, your commentary cracks me up. But what is your problem with the Dutch ey? Stroopwafels rule big time
+AvE Oh my God! I died at this!! Keep it up. I love your vids...even started using "chooch" at every opportunity I can!!
Pops showed me the bolt into a tap deal years ago and I'm grateful, I've used it a few times out in the sticks
+Hans Wessel I think it's because they speak 'Low German'. That cracked me up when he said that. Truth is he hasn't got anything against any nationality - he just likes taking the piss. And why not?
Wooden shoes, wooden head, wooden learn farkle.
jk
Stroopwafels are delicious
*walks up and looks at it* - "Yup, it's fucked allright..."
I got some glue on the threads of a threaded insert. Couldn't clear it with a bolt, then I remembered the video here: cut relief slots into the bolt. It worked brilliantly, so thanks for the video!
Hearing "Meneer Stroopwafel" out of you made me winch.
Well Done
Having been to the Boeing plant in Gresham, I appreciate the joke.
Once it is "fucked" it can only get better lol
+doubleboost On par with some of your video postings Double boost and just as funny.
I have been using this trick for yeara but never knew about the copper wire for seal ! Great video !
Im no workshop enthusiast but the way this man makes 180's in speech is by far the most entertaining thing i've heard in a good long fucking time!
