looks like the rings warmed up and got sized . I was telling myself "those rings look too tight" as you were installing them. Sure enough they were. Just make the gap bigger and you'll have no problems.
I just posted a similar comment. I hope they didn’t shatter in the bore. I was say the same thing …. RING GAP Tim… RING GAP!!! It’s too tight. Guess he didn’t hear us
@@TheDistur well… consider the stroke and what I would imagine to be a fairly large differential tolerance from top to bottom… with one end being bigger then the other ( cone ). Speculation of course, but most likely. Therefore that gap would be rather large to accommodate the operating stroke average. PLUS … piston rings seal best by the pressure passing THRU THE GAP… this pressure keeps the rings expanded to the cylinder wall.
PISTON RINGS must FLOAT. The GAP is super important. The GAP of the RING Must never MEET as this will cause the ring to SHATTER. I have a feeling that is what happened. The upper rings shattered… I hope I’m wrong. This hammer is so awesome
Tim I am from Illinois. My parents were both born in 1919. I would like to buy two of the axes you are making out of the Illinois rails. I am 75 and do not know how to go about ordering them from you. Please private message me instructions on making the purchase.
For what it's worth. Most light aircraft piston engines are opposed. So when you put the case halves together, you can't use a gasket because that gasket would cause the piston stroke to be longer. (I realize what I've told you might be confusing, but knowing you, if you look at an aircraft engine you'll figure it out in seconds) Ok, so you can't use seals or sealant to seal the crankcase of an opposed, but it still has to be sealed so your oil doesn't leak out. So what we use is silk thread. What we do is put on a sticky substance all around the case halve surfaces. (Something like you find on the fingers of a child after eating cotton candy) Then you start by leaving the first 2"' thread off the end and start weaving back and forth all the way around. You want to keep in mind that you'll be laying a second silk thread next to it. You want to weave the silk back and forth to create as much surface area as possible and leaving about 2" hang off the end. You have created a impenetrable seal that's the thickness of a silk thread squeezed flat between 2 pieces of steel. And for god's sake, if you're ever looking at your friends aircraft engine, don't pull on those threads. You'll be breaking down an engine to seal it back up. For what it's worth.
I’m saying the upper die key came loose and is wedged up against the ram guide… Happened to my 2B. After spending a long time trying to find a solution I ended up turning it back on and slammed the pedal down to get the ram unstuck, then pulled the air away before the ram went back up. Amazingly it didn’t cause any damage to the guide.
Oh Tim. I thought this video was going to have a wonderful ending. I'm so sorry. You and Martin did a great job putting it together it looks like. Hopefully this next issue will not be a big deal and take a whole year to figure out.
I'll add a green monster hammer tee to my keep the forge lit one. I've got to see this heroic restoration succeed. Got the kickass bottle opener too. Springs just around the corner. Let's hope for a good lettuce crop to plump up that skinny wallet. ✌
I can't help you by buying a shirt, Timothy. I'm sorry. But what I CAN DO is help you by saving up for one of those super sick 1919 Blackhawk hatchets. I'm an avid amateur Axe Thrower, and I just got my DREAM JOB last month at an Axe Throwing bar. So far, I'm making decent money on tips, anywhere from 50-100 dollars a night on weekends (plus i get my usual hourly wage, which is 11/hr so it's decent enough). I may have the funds within two weeks, maybe within three weeks (save for any unexpected bills). I can't wait to amaze my coworkers with the quality of your product and then tell them the story behind how it was made and SHOW THEM how it was made. I really hope I can get a spot on pre-order. Love you brother, take care.
I think every single one of us are wondering if you tried spitting on that ram to see if it would slide again....that's always my first goto when trying to slide into a tight gap.
Everytime I see someone wedge a power hammer die into place, I have to think about Eric`s (Hand Tool Rescue) odyssey to get it out, which entertained me all through the first lookdown. And I would love to buy a bottle opener, but 120$ shipping (to germany) for a 35$ opener is just not going to happen.
I remember watching the episode when you first broke it down. It was nice to see it back together and running.... until the end. A frozen ram? Not good... not good at all. Good luck. I may buy a hatchet to help you figure it out. So sorry to see it ceased.
Business idea - if it is difficult to make a living from what you do you may try to combine other things as well - for example repairing by welding excavating machines etc. ?
You should start a patreon or something to help! I don’t know the financial/business implications of doing such a thing, but I’m sure people would be willing to donate to help get it running right. I just hope you didn’t mar the newly honed cylinders 😬😬
I actually do have a Patreon account and would love your support. I keep quite about it but really appreciate all who support. Here’s the link if you want to check it out. www.patreon.com/timothydyck
Things expand when they get hot. My bet is on the piston(?) Ring that you cut. Fits well when cold but seizes when hot. Wouldnt be suprized if it unseizes when it cools back down. Also use a high end grease with some moly in it.
Oh man! Thank you so much. Probably the easiest and best way would be through Patreon. Here is my account if you would like to help. www.patreon.com/timothydyck
Looking forward to seeing it running! Let’s go!!!!!

I wonder what the end gap is on a power hammer.
@@TheDistur probably pretty big I would assume maybe like .05", I'm guessing

This would be my immediate guess.
The packaging you have for the axes and hatchets is awesome! Very nice presentation and seems to be fairly sturdy!
Thanks so much for these videos I need to rebuild my B3, and it has been fantastic to see the internal workings before I get to it
Send me a email if you wanna talk some more about it. info@timothydyck.com
I hope you get to restore that one Nugget Noggin found.

Yes, check out the ring gap in this video here: czcams.com/video/jy52DEX67Aw/video.html

No way! Thats incredible! Please send me an email to info@timothydyck.com and we can figure this out.

never heard of this, interesting
It’s the die key, i could see it sticking out before you started.
I’m saying the upper die key came loose and is wedged up against the ram guide… Happened to my 2B. After spending a long time trying to find a solution I ended up turning it back on and slammed the pedal down to get the ram unstuck, then pulled the air away before the ram went back up.

Congrats Tim! Tons of progress made
Yes sir!

Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
i cant believe its been a year already. ill be waiting for part 6. good luck
Gotta do another shol tour with those guys
Good luck man! Just got two sweatshirts to help the cause :)
You'll get there! Love these Vids!
Great video, sorry you’re having issues with the power hammer, buying some shirts now.
Also, you forgot to say to keep the forge lit. 🔥
Dang it was looking so good. Keep your head up
Very interesting !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just going 2B right back in there
I'll add a green monster hammer tee to my keep the forge lit one.
I've got to see this heroic restoration succeed. Got the kickass bottle opener too. Springs just around the corner. Let's hope for a good lettuce crop to plump up that skinny wallet. ✌
Can you go over your 3 phase power setup and controls in a future video?

I’m never using scissors to cut holes ever again, it’s hammers from here on out 🔨

Don't let it beat you Tim , Step away mate have a rest then things will work out . Cheers . :)
Come on, you can make it work!!
That spring thingy I think.
I think every single one of us are wondering if you tried spitting on that ram to see if it would slide again....that's always my first goto when trying to slide into a tight gap.
Can I marry me that power hammer? My arm is sooo tired... Noodle arm is the official medical designation.
Tim: "I just want evebody to know, on camera, we did not kill the mouse"
Me: "off camera we hit it with a hammer.. . Mwa haahaa"
Why can’t anything be easy? “Nothing worth doing is easy”
nice boxes things that stay in boxes don't get use ?

Sort of dig this channel.
Was trying for some activity on facebook with you .. 🤷♂️
Awesome! Check out my Instagram. Just search Timothy.Dyck
Holy poopenschnitzel a year already? Are you sure? Jeez.
What are the ram guides made out of
Sorry it keeps breaking. Hope you get it fixed affordably.

hey awesome video I have never been the first to view or like one of your videos

I take it that u unfolded the gasket as you were lifting it up, because it looked like you missed it.. 🤦♂️

U from Canada A?
hey man I'm from Brasil
how can i buy one axe direct from you ?
www.timothydyck.com. Would love to send you one!
Yo yo u I
Oops
On it lol
@@SillyGoose69 you put up a good fight though. Gg for being EXTRA early!!
Never beat you to the comments 😂😂
@@NavyVeteran1776 maybe so, but GG for being here early!! WOOT WOOT.
Yikes. Disappointing to say the least my man. Ugh. Tough break. Literally. Hoping the community can help you enough financially to help fund the fix.
