Near 9:37 "You may not need it today but there's a good chance that you will down the road." Even if you don't ever need it, somebody else will be willing to trade something far more valuable to you to get it. As they say: One man's inventory is another man's treasure.
Good to see shop dog Elliot! It has been rough in the shop the last couple weeks with no Baily. I sure do miss my shop boss!
i absolutely enjoy odds and ends!
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.ππ
Hey Keith, looking forward to another Arnfest, see you there!
So you haul the drill grinder to Texas then buy it and haul it back home. That had to have been an interesting conversation with your wife lol.
What kind of twist drill requires that much power to grind?
Seeing that gear cutter, I am wondering how you are going to cut that camshaft gear?
Thanks for sharing π
Elliott is a naughty boy but I hope that old fellar enjoyed his beef jerky treat lol
Maybe Abom79 can use this Morse 6 dead end center in his Peacemaker lathe.
Great video Keith, keep'um coming..
Wow you were thumbin through that one catalog and showed a Muller you said muller and I think Clark just unloaded a muller that looked like the one in your catalog. maybe
Good to see Elliot, he brought me a pine cone when I came down there to volunteer at the museum. He is a good boy.
Does the jerky guy sell any of it?
"He's gettin' to be an old dawg" we all are Keith. That's a fine animal
Nice!! π
He He I bet Elliot loved that jerky bless his 'ol heart!
Interesting show, Keith. It is sad to see all the things the USA used to make – now, unfortunately, we have made another country extremely wealthy by sending our manufacturing processes over there and then having to share our tewch information with them. We didn't learn any lessons from WW-II. THE USA used to be the master of manufacturing. Now – we have to buy everything from other countries. The idiot who claimed to want to make America great again, didn't. Why doesn't someone do something to bring industry back again. Fortunately, Keith, it is guys like you and some others who keep the old tried and true methods alive. I wonder if any modern machinist can do what you do so easily. It's all automated now.
Unfortunately I cannot make Arnfest this year : (
Hello Keith , I've been watching you for a couple years now and I just recently purchased a 1943 Monarch 16 CY lathe . I was having trouble getting the carriage and apron separated so I went back and watched you do it on your model K that is very similar , so that helped me out . I'm glad you mentioned Arnfest and I just registered , so I'm looking forward to meeting you there .
Keith, the play on words you mentioned reminded me of a couple that was into heavy metal. The wife would arn, and the husband would steal.
All good stuff Keith. Auto lubbers can be good in the right application.
Keith, you mentioned Poland. I have a good friend and coworker from Poland, and I had noticed at the grocery store that they were selling Scottish style fish made in Poland. I asked him what rivers from Scotland flowed through there, and he stopped and thought a moment, and then he said, none of them!
Loverly old dog, not you Kieth, the four legged jerky thief,
Been watching your videos for a while and have a few questions are you still working on the Jimmy Diresta bandsaw restoration and are you still at the railroad museum ?
Always a joy to view your latest video, and I am always thankful for everything you choose to take the time to share, portions of your life with me and others in our world. Thank you so kindly!
Thanks Keith
My own experience with Jim Bolinger is a bit shameful. I initially dismissed him as an "all hat, no cattle" type of guy, and I left some critical comments to that effect. He responded to my criticisms with sincerity and humility, turning my opinion around 180. Hell of a guy.
What happened to the "Jimmy Diresta" bandsaw work ?
.
If the work was cancelled I missed it
Outstanding video,thanks for the odds & ends contentπ€ππ€π
Great video π
Baldor motor ?
What happened to the Diresta bandsaw?
Your story about Elliott getting into and devouring your beef jerky package is priceless! I love these videos that you share with us your new acquisitions and viewer gifts.
The Champ is a great drill grinder with a ton of options. Back in the day I met the inventor at Westec and learned a ton about drill geometry. Probably talked with him for over an hour. He wrote a great paper on drill geometry that I referred to for years. He was from back when drilling steel with a breastplate drill where you paid in sweat for poor drill performance.
