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.
Thank you 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.
Thanks for another great video.
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
Thank you for all you do, Keith.
Thanks Keith for promoting the Flywheelers
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 😉
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.
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!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Keith I need a manual for a Bradford all geared 16×50 metal lathe ca` your help thanks Benny
Hi Keith, just for reference, Worcester is pronounced 'Wuster' I live in the original Worcester England. Jane ❤
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.
This page mentions factory #78. http://buickcity.blogspot.com/2008/01/buick-factory-designations.html?m=1. By the way you mentioned your “real job”. What is your real job?
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.
Nice
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…
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
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.
Wow I just saw that C.E. Jennings display piece with the bits on Ebay for $850.
Roughly the level is accurate to
.020" to 39"
Pretty darn sensitive
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!
When will the Stoker Engine be coming up?
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.
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.
Thank you Keith!
If that ZTFab bracket is stainless don't paint it.
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!

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.
I know its a bit invasive but Id love to know what your "real job" entails!
I just added the $10 Patreon account and I did not send my address with the PayPal. In order to receive my decal and my aluminum black I need to include my name and address. My name is Bill Suter, 781 N. Main St., Bridgewater, VA, 22812
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.
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.
