No sparkies in them Diesel engines mate.

I would not recommend using a drill for this procedure. A lathe with wire feed is possible, but otherwise do by hand. As this yields far more uniform loops. And reduces the risk of snapping the rather brittle Kanthal wire(Same for Nichrome). A drill would however be fine for winding loops for say chainmail/jewelry using mild steel, silver, copper etc.

@JKKnudsen but when you wind you wind with no spacing drills shine in that regard bro, look it up people make them like that and they turn out perfect I'd argue you get a more consistent result like that. Even a hand coiler. And it's not like it's some NASA grade coil if something is a few thousandths off it's not gunna be the end of the world

Usually yes, oddly enough this time it was the combination of a leaky return line right next to the air-intake, and the coolant hose popping of because some idiot(me), forgot to bleed the coolant line after filling. That's why this runaway actually stopped when I pulled the cable to the injector pump solenoid. I now know the correct procedure would have been to chock the intake with a rag!

Cheers!

Cheers! but I would hold my horses, mk2 is in the works. As this one has a few flaws I've outlined in the answer to another comment. May take some time, been sailing some rough sea's past year, but at least I didn't get run over by a ford pickup truck. How did it go with the Harley?

Srrry, Late answer, been busy, and don't get notifications on some videos: But yes I've tested it with just the one side(didn't want to make both if it sucked). But it kind works, had to remove the middle bearing to make it run true-ish(some tapping on the jaws gets the wobble <1mm). I did have a go at rounding out the bottom of a jar. And when a good chunk was glowing hot, the edge of the jaws facing the jar got soft(this was mediated by foil tape, but next version will only have wood facing flames) Some other things to mention that will be addressed in mk2 include: -Even plywood warps a lot. Scaling the headstock down to something 3Dprintable and fillable with concreate would solve the issue of dimensional stability. -Threads on the spindle, so different chucks can be used -I left it running for 6 days, on day 4 it didn't sound right, and by day 5 it had a noticeable wobble. Sadly the balls was not the ones wearing away. And since I find it unacceptable to replace the sleeves that often, I'm currently in the preliminary experimentation, with 3d-printable air-bearings, and lapping tools. If that doesn't work, maybe babbittt bearings, but I feel that using my metal lathe to machine something, would make the glass lathe way less accessible for other makers. -Planetary Chucks are not suited for laser/3d-print fabrication. Softness of material yields unacceptable backlash in the gears. So it's back to the scroll chuck! I mostly do vacuum stuff(tubes:discharge, geiger, laser, etc) and repair/repurpose broken labware. Now I'm not any good, just barely good enough for a reliable Housekeeper seal, but for most of what I do that's enough.

That's neat! But I may have beaten you to it, I made a surface mix for a friend a while back. Functional for small stuff, but still some improvements to be made. And I'm sure you know the satisfaction of having made your own!

I would do it that way with a mandrel(but left up right down, usually). But when joining ends(or really short stock) I prefer both down, rolling backwards, because then I see what goes into the flame. I should also point out that I'm ambidextrous, and sometimes forget what hand I write with, expect no consistency..

It came falling from the wall, there is a gap in the wall at the top(was waiting for the daub to settle, but then never got around to finish it). Wish I caught it on video..

Srry, but probably not anytime soon. It was always sufficient as shown. But I may do a revision of the entire project some time in the future. This was a long time ago, now I would probably use a solid state relay, way less power, and laser-cut/3D-printed parts. You can also get fairly cheap mantles from china these days, so for smaller flasks(<3L) it's probably the way to go.

right on mate thanks for getting back to me good to hear from you. Hope all is well@@JKKnudsen

@@user-be4yc2vr5c Thanks! and you as well! I've been super busy lately, so haven't had the time to edit any videos.. But I'm closing in, hopefully there's some new content in a not so distant future .

Hi, you may reach me at jknudsenbuild@gmail.com

Thank you! The simplicity quite deliberate. I always try to design things in a way that; Some one could watch the video, and start printing, and most likely folks already have all the parts needed in their garage. Part two of the video is coming fairly soon(it's harvesting season, and general winter prep at the moment). There is also a video on DIY parallel mashers and housekeeper seals coming soon, it's filmed, just got to edit.

@@JKKnudsen It is not very easy to make and requires equipment and patience and effort. But it really develops design skills.. thank you for the files.

Indeed! Files will be free, always, for all projects! @@Самоделионполезион

You sir, are absolutely correct! But I gave myself some artistic freedom, in order to tie this event to a future video.. And it had to be a frog, not a toad... It will make.. sense? Idk But man, well spotted!

​@@JKKnudsen Technically, frog is correct. All toads are frogs but only some frogs are toads! 😁👍

Ahh, nice! I've never been one to keep track of biological classifications. To me it could just as well have been a case of "everything turning into crabs" @@EddieTheH

@@JKKnudsen I'm not too big on them myself, but I do have a soft spot for amphibians, toads in particular. I was that kid that was out lifting rocks every storm!

Shape eye! But poor video. Luckily I actually took a picture of that one, some day's before. And it's actually an almost rotting Amanita phalloides. But in this video it certainly looks like a pantherina.

@@JKKnudsen Offt! Quite glad I made that mistake on the internet and not IRL! It's definitely a looker in spite of the decay!

Certainly! But also, spotting that it's either one, result in the same answer: DO NOT EAT! I never step outside the Boletaceae family myself. In Norway they are all edible, except the singular red one(rare, the Norwegian name translates as Satan's Mushroom). @@EddieTheH

Cheers Paul! Much appreciated!!!

You're welcome! Converting the object to a path should not be necessary. But remember to "resize page to selection"(under edit, while you have your object selected). Second, double check that inkscape has not saved your export with a double svg, i.e "myFile.svg.svg". There is also two versions of SVG(inkscape/plain SVG), you may try to save it in the other form.

Cheers mate! Much appreciated!

Your lab reminds me of Alexander Shulgin's lab which was also carved out of the side of a mountain.

We have both in Norway, and technically it's the midges that break me while outdoors. The mosquitos are mostly annoying after the fact, large swells and itching yourself bloody.

I will have a look for that midgie-net though, or it's late in the season now..So I'm probably going to forget about it, and curse myself for not listening to Eddie next spring..

Neat! We'll see in a few years if mine does the same. But I suspect I will have to take down a few of the surrounding trees, before it gets enough sunlight.

@@JKKnudsen Yeah, it does look pretty shaded there.

Aye! Then it's just the problem of what to do with the stumps?

@@JKKnudsen Yeah, I'm quite grateful that was always the next guy's job!

@@EddieTheH Lucky! Bet he had one of the chippers as well

The problem was to "deep", that is, lower side of the cabin clogged, and promptly raised the water level beyond the basement floor. Had to dig up half the foundation, and a connecting ditch. And the floor is still damp to this day.

Used to be quite nice, until the basemen flooded. Haven't really been doing vacuum or chemistry stuff since, as much of my electronics eroded, and chemicals spoiled. But the plan is to set up a new lab somewhere on the property(this time above ground level!).

I think so. I've filmed most of it. But after taking it apart and putting it back together 3 times, I have concluded that the injector pump is bust:/ So I'm currently waiting for a new one(cus apparently it's "cheaper" than an overhaul).

You are refering to the process for wich the silver nitrate made her will be used for. I.e coating stuff in silver by reduction of silver nirate. But the silver won't reduce before the ph is increased. Now if you want to call me out on something, point out that I majorly underestemated the density of silver, and the amount of nitric acid ended up beeing insufficient, to dissolve more than 1/3 of the silver...

Haha, good one!

Well, the power output at the moment certainly felt excessive! But you are correct, the source is definitely unintended. Usually leaky pistons sucking engine oil(or in my case return-line snapped right next to the air-intake, kinda lucky, but the RPMs busted my injection pump...)

Thanks! Much apricated! Ahh, I realize the term is probably more common in a machining context. But typically you get 4-jaw chucks that are not self-centering, for eccentric(off-axis) turning. Now if I understand you correctly, the thing you describe, is actually a thing, called a power chuck. They are usually hydraulic of pneumatic, but is for high force clamping, and not really suited for glass work. Same same! So many talented folks on the internet!

Yeah, I had a suspicion.. But the piece I tested on didn't gum up the first hour... But yes, silicon grease is probably the way to go. Teflon lubricant should also be good, depending on additives.

​@@JKKnudsen I agree, PTFE lube is my go-to because of the price of silicon grease.

Wow, thanks! I'm amazed the someone stuck around for that long! Much appreciated!

Thanks! My guess: Channel is too random. Video quality is meh. The algorithm really wants you to be gimmicky/controversial. And I have a mumbling voice.

@@JKKnudsen That algorithm has a lot to answer for!

@@EddieTheH Haha, I'll take some blame myself. Video editing is just so tedious at times, I just want to start the next project...

@@JKKnudsen You've got a lot of interesting stuff going on, it's better to spend the time doing the cool stuff than getting too concerned with the presentation! As for the mumbling, I'm fluent in mumble so it doesn't worry me! 😁

@@EddieTheH Thanks, much appreciated! Wish I had more time for projects, but trees keep falling over, and machinery breaks down. Hopefully I'll get the new wood-shop up and running over the summer. That will certainly steam-line things, cus now everything is a mess. Ahh, finally someone fluent in mumble!

Haha! Grind off...grind off? But man, the algorithm can be pushy at times, certain words and phrases just seem to trigger it..

Cheers! Not sure if it pays of though, unless you live far from the post-office. I got it down to 45min pr valve, but man it's freeing, to know you always have a valve "available".

I'm working on a web-page, I'll post everything there. I'm still looking for some of the chuck stl's. Have the chuck, but not the external gear mechanisms. I'll give a heads up when it's up and running!

STL's and SVG for the new version available at jkknudsen.github.io/JKnudsen/Glass/Lampworking/Lathe/Lathe.html

Thanks! And yes it's diesel, yanmar 3 cylinder. Currently in the process of overhauling the injector pump. The return line broke open right next to the air intake and I got a runaway. Pump did not like that...

Haha.. it's worse... it's not even a napkin, it's paper towel...
