Thanks for watching.
This may come off as a strange comment, but I prefer to hear the sound of the tools working without the music overlay. (It's good music, don't get me wrong.) I just enjoy hearing the natural sounds clearly that come with the trade.
Agreed!
I was just about to comment this. Love it regardless, but the music is jarring on a repair video. I wanna hear the tools and the sounds of adjustment. Music can be for intro and outro.
Agree
Perfect Job.
"really ready to rock." Good pun!
Amazing😮
Very interesting! I like the stereo hooked up to the lathe switch, too. :)
love this. Thanks!
Mr. Lee, you are the man. Love your videos. Can't wait to see your next repair job.
So now it is ready for me to polish. 🙂
Love watching you made new tools great video content as always!!
I have always been fascinated by brass instrument repair and modifications being a horn player. I got to watch Walter Lawson work on my horn several times before he passed and was amazed at all the homemade gizmos he had available for all sorts of things. Love watching your videos.
I kind of agree about the music. :)
Love your videos, Wes....
You can buy what's called a barrel lap. They are made of brass as well and they have an adjustment screw in them so you can adjust much like you're doing. They come in a variety of different sizes. They are typcially used for lapping bushings however it would also work great in the application.
Masterful work!
Great idea! I just made one and it works great! Thanks for the wonderful work that you do.
another good show
Yes please. Let’s make this tool.
I would love to see a video making this tool! Thanks for all the great videos!
Pro…YOU ARE!
love it!
Good morning Wes and friends.
Good video. 👍👍👋
Cool stuff man!
Hope is all okay. Notice video are pass due at saving one performance tool one at a time. Thank you for your integrity
Gonna have to use this in the future. Did a Strad third slide with the same problem a few weeks ago. Ended up making new tubes for it instead.
👍👏🏻
Another awesome video... And another awesome custom tool... I did not realize that u were in Petal, Mississippi...
Wow.... Is that a South Bend lathe?
👍♥
👍👍👍
Nice repair. Is the screwdriver you used French with an 'x' section shaft? I've got one and I've never seen another.
How would you go about the opposite procedure? Like, narrowing the diameter of the slide if it were too large?
What force is applied to the slide when running it on/off the mandrel? Is it held perfectly straight or is there some off axis torque applied?
Hi Mister Lee .I have an old Yamaha trumpet that I will like to restore.Ilive in Pascagoula MS.Can you do it for me.
What causes this? A dent or bend is obvious but what would cause a slide to “shrink”?
On some vintage and well-used horns, slides can sometimes be buffed or sanded too far down, such that the internal diameter is of course still the same, but the outer has had a decent chunk of metal shaved off.
@@SamuelPlaysBrass good to know, thanks for the reply!
How does this sort of thing happen? Is it the tube getting compressed or worn out over time, or was this an undersized replacement slide?
I think maybe those students play with the tuning slide without lube too much. Maybe they should have gotten a trombone instead, eh?
So that thing you made from brass stock , could be called a reemer or rotating mandrel??
Hm... yeah! I guess it's not a reamer, because it doesn't cut. It's definitely "expanding", but an expanding what? Mandrel does make some sense... hm....
You don’t need the music when the lathe is on
I prefer the videos without the music. ❤❤❤
Good video but found the music a bit much, quieter would be better or none as couldn't hear what ye where saying
The music is a nice very touch, but way too loud, especially when it's over you talking. A bit quieter and it would be perfect!
