Hey Keith Rucker looked at an older video from a couple years ago, and wow you are looking a lot healthier and slimmer now. Love your channel, all the very best.
I'm very pleased that you have a chuck to mate that K&T arbor with. Use it in good health.
Thanks Keith for promoting the Flywheelers
I bet you added the tags to your VM store they would sell. I know I would buy a couple
Your Buick gauges reminded me of the fact that into the late 50's and early 1960's the Buick Nailhead V8 factory service literature had a note on replacing cam bearing. The factory bearings were bored/reamed in-place and so replacements had to be hand scraped for fit after installation. Only one like it that I know of from that era.
don't forget to bring some of those fr-dec plates to Florida, I want to buy one.
I don't know what you're doing but keep doing it, every time I tune in you look stronger and healthier, well done friend! Thank you for the lovely video as always.
Thank you for sharing.👍
Wu - Stir Older manufacturing city in central Massachusetts. One of those peculiar New England names.
Thanks for the posts, Keith. Beautiful restoration job on that lathe.
More correctly 'Wus-tah' when applying the proper accent. 😬 Named for Worcester, England.
And, by extension, "wus-tah-sheer" is the sauce used in cooking and on steaks. That is another related word that is constantly mispronounced. Worcester is the original home of Norton Abrasives and many other machine tool companies. The Norton facility is still there, now operated by St. Gobain. I grew up in Leominster (Lem-in-stah) which is 20 miles north. Athol (ATH-all) is 40 miles northwest, home of Starrett Tools, Union Twist Drill, Athol Vise, and others, and it is where my parents grew up and my grandfather worked for Starrett for 30 years.
@@michaelleduc219 In UK Leominster is often pronounced Limster . I has a church whose clock bells sill ring a peal for matins at 4am...
Us Southerners always try to pronounce anything that looks like a syllable.
@@johnsweeney4257 You don't know it, but you are full of schtahhhz! 1:41 of czcams.com/video/K7y2xPucnAo/video.htmlsi=zYpc51Lb2OT1YOLR
Those Buick gauges might be to check the main bores on a straight 8. I believe it used 5 mains and they got smaller from back to front like that.
Thank you for all you do, Keith.
Thank you Keith!
Another Happy Monday 😊
Love the odds and ends videos, reminds of when I was a child pestering my grandfather in his shop " Oh what's that do, whats this do?" :)
Good morning Keith! Have a great week.
Thanks for sharing 👍
1mm/m = 0.012in/ft. Buick Factory #78 was the home of the Engineering Dept at the Buick complex in Flint, MI, according to Gerry Godin, who worked for Buick in the 1970s or 1980s and posted on the buickcity blog.
LOOKUP Buick City on wiki.
Thanks for another great video.
The small in size 449 depth instrument is in my price catalog, but not in the corresponding Catalog 29. They make 449 in 3 and 6" and metric.
Buick city in Flint had 100 buildings. #78 was the experimental building built in 1927.
One day I was looking for a specific ruler. I started walking around the shop and digging through the shed. I looked in the basement and in the attic. After a couple days I found it . But in the meantime I collected every measuring device I had a brought them all together. I ended up making a wall display for all my rulers. Then it happened again with hammers. I call it a convergence. When one type of tool comes together.
Hi Keith, just for reference, Worcester is pronounced 'Wuster' I live in the original Worcester England. Jane ❤
Great video thanks for sharing wish I was able too get out and walk around a show like that 😢
Keith I've been following you for a good number of years. Sorry it took me a while to subscribe. Your getting really good at doing this video thing. Quality of content is top shelf.
Keith,
Glad to see the inscription for Buick on the Bath hole gauges. Very cool I didn't notice those! Hope you find a use for them and thanks for the 2D parts!
9:34 The customs system and the fractions used are all Greek to me.
I now only understand that the calculation is in 2/1000 inch.
But millimeters down to 0.005 mm is everyday life for me.
However, it has become established in a few applications: 2.54mm pitch in electronics = ⅒ "
19" rack for network technology.
But when it comes to tap threads, an old British standard applies: 1 (old English) inch = 33 mm
The Florida Fly Wheelers has an event every February. The flea market is HUGE. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. I already Reserved a Golf Cart.There are a lot of great deals. Most sellers will lower their prices a little. Especially if you purchase more than one item from them. My wife and I have already reserved our Hotel room. The Fly Wheelers event in February is excellent. You need at least 2 days to see everything. The saw mill is something to see. A steam powered Tractor with pulley and a very long belt runs the saw mill. There is practically every old school Farm Tractor at the meet. There are plenty of hit and miss engines that are running. If you have never been to the Florida Fly Wheelers event. This February 21,2024 through February 24,2024 is absolutely worth going too.
Hope to see you at FlyWheelers!
I see you added another piece to your 2D mill collection; i am looking forward to seeing you do some work on that mill! TM long time watcher
Made it to the clean table,… just wondering if there was some transfers to the corner bench hahaha😂 looking nice Keith, a hell of a lot better than my very small shop.
Only forty acres at a flea market! La Sueur Minnesota
Pioneer club has at least eighty. And I have met people there from Texas and New York State!
That would be one heck of a road trip for me it's over 1600 miles one way
Nice
Wow I just saw that C.E. Jennings display piece with the bits on Ebay for $850.
I just got a magnificent Craftsman protractor set and I swear its either a Starret or better i will post a pic of the beast. You will be impressed. I am betting you will say its Starret as well.
Hey Keith mate, I love the little decimal chart, I live in Australia so have a desire for a metric tapping conversion chart with metric/fractional drill sizes ;)
Aprons are never dirty. They are enhanced with petrochemicals and adorned with machinist grit. Any blood stains are badges of honor that should not be altered until the associated scar has faded.
🤣
Hi Keith, The Japan level has the same resolution as the Hilger Watts level, 0.05 mm/m is 0.0005"/10" wich is ~10seconds of arc.
The Hilger Watts level cannot be rotated around, see the bolts on the bottom aswell as the bubble roll adjustment on the side in the notched out pocket.
Love the channel, all the best.

Hi Keith, at time 13.40 there is a little ruler with a triangle end on it what is that ruler used for. I've never seen one before.
When i was a planner men in a lumber mill, my planner had those type of oilers on it. then they came along and put a mist system on it. I hated it, breathing that mist all the time was not good.
1:40 "I don't know what you call them." Is 'dustables' the word you're looking for?
hay Keath very nice collection of new and old tools this time round it's good that over your way there are such markets get togethers and such as don't get them much over here get some but usually in the major cities i have tried to get some tools at estate sales E C T but there way overpriced as can get a lot of it new any way whilst you were showing us your new collection of tooling i was remembering sessions of old and looking at all your various tool boxes lining the walls and i have to ask mate do you even know what you have and how many of each you coud on sell a lot of the extras and make back some dollars instead of us doing the pateron thing anyway Cheers
I know its a bit invasive but Id love to know what your "real job" entails!
Keith I need a manual for a Bradford all geared 16x50 metal lathe ca` your help thanks Benny
I hope that you add those gifts for donators to the store. I would love to purchase the decimal chart, but have no interest in a monthly contribution.
I do patreon. I donate $2 per creator and I budget $60 a month so that allows me to support 30 creators. I know it is not much, but if lots of people donate via patreon it makes a difference. Thanks Keith.
When will the Stoker Engine be coming up?
What happened with the Rucker Tool Co? Not a whole lot of sales to warrant an inventory to buy from? Merch like t-shirts and hats are kinda lame, but if we could buy durable things like your decimal charts, a mini anvil, mini straight edge, something cool that is decent profit for you would be great!
Roughly the level is accurate to
.020" to 39"
Pretty darn sensitive
Your not going to believe it , but it’s pronounced Woster! ( He is a wuss - ter) just like Leominster is pronounced Leminster, and Athol is not At-Hole!😮 Crazy Northeners!
If that ZTFab bracket is stainless don't paint it.
0,5 mm for 1 meter it wil be 0,006 inch for 1 foot - I think so. Am I right?
Old tools are not better the new cutting tool… it’s such a big lie , that i don’t get how people say that… you compare the wrong modern tools … for exemple a HSS old drill- most don’t have cobalt, don’t have coating. The new quality drill are 100 times better then the old stuff … the old stuff is just affordable but definitely not better…
