Good job mister beautifully done

Very nice job. Great idea

Make another compilation please 😂

Very nice work sir. I love brass , just messy as chips fly everywhere.

Nice and funcrional little thing !😊

nice

Hahaha

How expensive are these cutting bits for the lathe?

Excellent brush for electro plating Thanks

Yeah you didn't show most of these in your finished videos LMAO

Yeah we all make mistakes trying to fix stuff. That's the mans way LOL I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

As a longtime viewer, knowing the presence and precision of each restoration, you have to laugh at how life plays cruel jokes. Well done

Nice outtakes haatschi! 😂😂😂 Good one ❤

Nobody is perfect. It's nice you show it.

Thx a lot for showing this mishaps. I feel being in very good companionship. It's absolutely necessary that anything is flying through the workroom, sometimes. 😅😂😊 LMAO...

Those lathe crashes -- ouch! 😬

Thanks, I not alone))))

When parting use a real thin tool bit to cut .

I am new to my lathe about a year ago. I am impressed by the speed of your chuck. I have been working a speeds that are a fraction of what you are running. I have worked out a chart with chuck speeds that has different materials and operations on it along with the belt configurations I need since I have a 2 step pully on my motor and a 3 step pully on my spindle. But, honestly I usually just use a medium speed for most of my work. I have a long way to go before I master this skill.

What a long video making such a small simple part, painful to watch

Very nice video. Can I ask you what lathe you are using? Thanks

After seeing how your lathe struggles with parting, I'm wondering if there would be any value in making a parting tool that would consist of a piece of hacksaw blade held in a pivoting clamp. The clamp would be mounted on the toolpost in such a way that the blade could be brought up to cut into the work from underneath. This would load the blade in tension rather than compression, which would presumably reduce vibration of the blade and make a cleaner cut. (Alternatively, you could run the lathe in reverse and cut into the work from above, which would make room for a longer segment of blade.) The smaller kerf of the hacksaw blade compared to the parting tool would reduce the stress on the lathe and result in less vibration in the rest of the system, and the pivoting clamp would offer more precision than a handheld hacksaw. That's the theory, anyway. Let me know if a sketch would help to clarify this idea.

First of all you got the job done and congratulations are in order but i have to ask why do you keep touching off before every cut, instead of just looking at the dial and putting the extra cut on. The horrible screeching is a sign that there is something wrong with your set up, often it is the chuck not tight enough, that the jaws are bell mouthed or there is play or looseness in the tool post, amongst others faults. I'm not trying to criticise just to offer help.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

Hi i like the video. But i have a couple questions if you dont mind. 1 what is the cuting incert you were using size 11 or 07? And what is the coating. 2 what toolpost do you have? 3 what lathe do you have? I hope you have the time to answer!

Very clever idea the way that you cut the slot. What kind of steel did you use? It cuts very nicely.

That is pretty cool! Always a pleasure to see your posts. Apologies for being late to the viewing, but the video just popped up. Hope all is going well.

Good job mister well done

Wow; I'm hardly ever this early to the party! 😁 That's a cool little project! ❤

That was funny: my phone beeped at the exact moment that you dropped the wrench, making it look as though you were startled by my phone. 😂

Cose oro bravo

to actually plate brass directly you need the 2 metal cyanides and a brass anode.

Copper sulfate will plate out onto steel. It won't adhere due to the electrochemical reaction which creates iron sulfate between the copper and steel.

Good job mister well done

😂😂😂😂😂

I will almost certainly never try this myself, but it is fascinating information and so interesting to see demonstrated! Although that compound you made at the end wasn't what you intended, it is quite attractive to look at. I think we should name it Hutite.

❤❤❤

Here are some more info, which I couldn't fit into the subtitles: 1. Difference between distilled and demineralized water: Demineralized water: Deionized. Ions got removed, so there is no more Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-, etc. in the water. Not charged particles like proteins, bacteria, viruses etc are still in. Distilled water: This is what you use in labs, medicine, etc. The water got distilled, which means it got heated to vapor and then condensed back into liquid form. It removes the ions but also non charged particles like proteins, viruses, bacteria etc. It's more "pure" and that's why we use it, since we don't want to contaminate the electrolytes or whatever. If you need VERY pure water, once distilled water isn't enough. You can distill water multiple times and you get bi distilled water, tri distilled water, etc. But that is for mostly used for pharmaceutical purposes, labs and stuff like that, we don't need that for electroplating. Aq. dest. stands for Aqua destillata btw. 2. Why not dip into distilled water? The reason we use distilled water is like mentioned before to clean the workpiece before it goes into the next solution so we don't contaminate it. If dipping the piece in distilled water it's not distilled water anymore and is contaminated - you can throw it away then because it has lost is purpose and is just waste. The right way to clean the parts is to sprinkle the parts with distilled water. It saves money, resources and just makes more sense. 3. Why brass plating like this? There are two ways of brass plating (which I know at least). The one is with heat and a brass wire brush, where you apply brass from the wire brush onto your workpiece. It works, but you need to make sure that you have a full brass wire brush and not one with plated steel wire. Already used that on my projects on the main channel, for some cases it's a good method to go for. The in my opinion more cooler and interesting way is to do it the way in the video. Since brass is an alloy and not an element there is no such thing as a brass electrolyte. So you have to plate the part with the different compounds of the alloy and then heat them up till the desired alloy appears. In case of brass it's copper and zinc of course. Theoretically you could first zinc plate and then copper plate, but then you can't use the acidic copper electrolyte, because that would harm the zinc plating. Since I never did it that way I wouldn't recommend it. It is really important, that the top layer (in my case zinc) and heating are done as evenly as possible. If the layer is not even or the heating isn't done right on some spots brass will appear before the others. While further heating to get the other spots to become brass the plating will get cracks and all the work will be for nothing. Also it is important that there are as less bubbles as possible while plating. For both copper and zinc you don't need more than 1,5-2,5 V, depending on the container and size of the workpiece. For small parts this way is a very cool and with a little practice easy way to for a durable brass plating. For bigger parts it needs more practice, but as you've seen on the lamp it is possible too. 4. Plating in general: The part you want to plate needs to be perfectly clean. Clean the parts first and then degrease them in an extra step in for example acetone. The more work you put into preparing the part the better the result will be. You can also polish parts before plating them and that is also recommended. But it depends on your desired finish. Also it's important that all the tools you use like the anode, container etc are absolutely clean and also cleaned with distilled water.

hahaha

Very good - I would like to see more videos like this one - very interesting and great that its something useful.

That looks great 👍 I'm sure it's going to make life so much easier for you now. What new camera did you get ?

Kantor idaman saya

Necessity is the mother of invention 😊

Nice job. Well done

Best video 🤣🤣

lovely, thank you!

I had a good laugh, thank you 😁👍

Ha ha ha, good one.👍

Wow some very close calls there that could have turned out very nasty but still very funny. What happened with the drill press and the electrical short ?

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for posting this! I often imagine the "out takes"... Keep doing what you do! Love your other channel, and just subscribed to this one! 😁👍 Happy New Year! May all the "flubs" be harmless and funny.
