wonderful. It took me a long time to recover from the accident. It haunts me but I overcame it because of passion. I now have products as gifts. love forever.
I made a steady rest for my old Atlas lathe using the outer ring from an old harmonic balancer off a car engine. It worked like a champ. Didn't even have to bore it. It was plenty big enough as it was. I just made the lower half and the mounting plate and clamp.
Nice rest you did, it looks great. Not everybody in this world is born with expertise in weldering, but you do a working job, you just can try it more times, and learn a bit more. Congratulations, it takes my like.
The Steady Rest turned out Great 👍 really nice build. Enjoyed the Video. I may try to make one for my Lathe like yours. I really like the way it turned out. Thanks
Note: on 6:37 i wrote that this lathe was made between 1920-1930 which could be false, i think this lathe might be even older, probably between 1880 - 1910 What do you guys think, how old do you think this machine is?
Of course, you know I already said I do not ever use gloves at my turning machines; however, I wanted to say you really built a very nice steady rest...and great outcome on that piece....Ciao
You do some lovely work, and the lathe is a beauty aswell! I am most glad someone like you picked her up instead of her ending up in the trash eventually, scrapped and turned into shit... At least given its price that is what i think the previous owner intended with it sooner or later... I rescued a few machines myself from the shredder... One 70+ year old lathe among them... They are if treated well and given some time a 100x better than any modern nonsense you can buy for ridiculous prices... Even if you have to send them to have them reground, or if you have time and some equipment, hand scrape them to micron accuracy... A gorgeous machine and well done is all i can say! Keep her well in care, and make some way covers to prevent wanton chaos and damage from chips getting crushed under the sliding components...
Thank you for this lovely comment. I recently picked up another lathe wich is made from the 1919 Magdeburg and has alot of modern features like a gearbox, v-ways, lead screw, feed screw and such. Currently i am in the last steps of finishing the restoration
@@yak-machining Aah, well, how could i not post a nice comment at such nicely machined components and a good work on beautiful machinery...

Enjoyed the vlog young man. One suggestion. I've been a machinist a long time PLEASE when you are running those machines take the gloves off! This is a serious safety hazard! I've seen terrible things happen to guys wearing gloves while operating machines. Just about a year ago one of my friends lost 3 fingers on his right hand. I carried his fingers to the ambulance in his glove! Keep up the good work but please be careful!

Hi, I loved this steady rest, it looks great and I liked your methods, So a couple of suggestions if I may . Consider splitting the ring horizontally with a hinge at one side and a locking mechanism on the other to increase your stock size. And welding wise, Ditch the stick welding and go for MIG, it's easier and structurally solid, grind chamfers on all your joints for better weld penetration. And clamp your components in place wherever possible. All that aside, really well done.
Really appreciate your suggestions. But i sold the lathe and all the equipment. I originally planned to split it but i thought that i would ruin it without and it seemed hard for me to do it.
I am not a machinist but I love these tool making videos. One thing I am is a pretty good welder. Please try tig on your tool projects. Once you master tig welding you will use it exclusively on you projects. It is clean neat and strong. We all love mig and sometimes you just need to stick weld something. But, please consider tig welding for tools. Besides ,it is an excellent skill to master and another great option for making “things”. Someday I hope to be able to make a nice center rest like yours.
l also make things for my 100 year old lathe using only the lathe. Nice steady rest Looks great!!!. I made a milling attachment for mine that mounts a three inch vise.
Must be chilly! “Manual Knurling!!!” Oh my. Keep up the great work! Glad you had someone else weld this time 😜. There are plenty of good welding tips and tricks here on the TH-cam. Practice, practice, practice my man, you’ll get it. It’s just like anything else. Epoxy putty to cover up the welds!!!!😂😂 oh man. You’ll get it, just takes time. Proper welder settings and equipment are key. IE....type of wire, speeds, gas, voltage, etc etc.
Enjoyed watching you machine your project. If I may, please look into the tail-stock alignment. I believe the tailstock is sitting low. This condition can be corrected by shimming. I believe Mr. Pete has a video on how this is done.
My machine is the same structure as yours but mine is incomplate, I would be interested in the position and module of the related gears of the transverse machine feed . thanks please if you can answer my question . thx again
Very good job. I also made similar but a moving lathe steady for tool rest 30 years ago. So you can e.g. cut pieces very quickly without stopping the chuck.
love it man great job.... Welding.... just Make a Molten Puddle 1st then Slow Waaaay Down on your travel speed during your pass. After this the "Feel" will come to you.
Thank you :) Its still a little struggle for me to change the settings on the welding machine on the right speed and amp, but i will learn Stick welding first
For welding, switch to imperial for a while. Your welds are too cold. 1/8 inch rod gets 125 amps for the .125 inch rod. One inch of rod is 1 inch of weld so don’t move too fast. Drag your rod at a 45 degree angle. It should sound like bacon frying. For clean steel use 6013 rod which is a mild steel 60 thousand psi yield all position rod, but try to only flat weld to start. If that was MIG then lead rather than drag your wire. For stick SMAW you could use a 7014 or 7024 drag rod but it needs 50 to 100 amp more current, but it makes the welding stupid simple at the cost of more heat than you want for a machined part. Do not weld without protecting eyes, exposed skin or without good ventilation. Chip welds with eye protection. Cheers & good welding.
@@yak-machining You need pratice pieces of metal to set machine. Run stingers till you get the hange of it. Quality welding isn't as easy as it looks, that's why there is a 4 year apprenticeship to become a journeyman Welder.
You have earned yourself a subscriber,im making a steady soon too,and i needed ideas,this is the best concept i have seen so far,but i will make mine in a different way, because i would like to make it so you can open the top,for better repeatebility. Greetings from Hungary!
I hope yours turn out even better haha. The function where you can open it , was not a option for me because i forget about it and then it was already too late 😂 But i hope you make a video too
Dang dude, I see that you’re wearing a heavy coat for permafrost freeze 🥶 your butt off location. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed your video. Working in those freezing conditions just means that you are a badass in my book.
A great build for a young man new to machining I do have a question, why was the thrust bearing placed on the outside next to the thumbscrews when the force is exerted against the inside of the cap with the four screws? As to welding… I’m terrible too but it’s due to a visual impairment, the only way you will get better is by practicing all you can. Look up a channel called “Welding Tips and Tricks” he has a whole series of videos on how to improve your skills with a Mig, a Stick welder or with TIG welding. All three series are excellent for you to watch. Keep up the great vids.
saubere Arbeit! denke du sprichst deutsch (your dads gesäß xD) bin seit 20 jahren Dreher. wenn ich dir nen tipp geben darf, würde ich dir empfehlen dir als alternative zu den Rollen noch einen Satz Stößel mit HOLZSPITZEN zu machen. Ja HOLZ!!! einfaches, stinknormales weiches HOLZ. Rollen machen eigentlich nur bei sehr großen Werkstückgewichten Sinn. Der große Nachteil von Rollen ist, dass sich Späne zwischen Rolle und Werkstück klemmen können und dir die Oberfläche zerstören können. der große Vorteil von Holz ist, dass du es in Öl tränken kannst und es sich laufend von innen heraus selbst schmiert, kaum verschleiß, glaubt man kaum, is aber so! Ansonsten weiter so :)
Verry nice. Just one tip, in stead of turning the whole center into chips, I would have spent some time to grind a tool that will cut out the center (trepanning) It would have saved you some time and you would have had some usefull steel left as a bonus.
Hi. I also suck on stick or mig welding but I'm not too bad with Tig. Try it. It's almost like soldering and you have much more control. Good job BTW. Thanks
@@yak-machining was a fully equipped shop with both VERY large and smaller (average) size equipment... at a glance, you'd swear your steady and mine were the same! sure caught my eye...lol
For learning how to weld I recommend learning in person from somebody instead of a video so then the person can give you feedback. Welding is mostly just practice once you get a good pattern down. Half moon weave back and forth slowly moving forward. From your welds it looks like you need higher wire speed, and a little more heat can't hurt. Just be careful when welding machines prices so they don't warp. Possibly think of investing in a weld clamping table to minimize warp on machined parts?
Yeah its something i have to learn. My dad is a very good welder but didnt had time to learn from him, maybe someday. I think i should try stick welding first, because in this Video i used a mig welding machine
@@yak-machining Stick is a easier to learn, which is good for beginners. However, while it is much stronger than mig because of how hot it can get (and therefore more penetration), it also causes much greater warp in parts. Still, it is much cheaper than mig to run!
Hello. My understanding is , not ideal to drag the tool backward over the surface you cut. I think you're meant to back away reverse the tool to the starting point and reset for the next cut? (you follow me?) slop in the ways on the cross slide shows a tendancy to improve the depth of cut when you pull out like you're having a shag. Plus why not thread those big pilots into the ring instead of welding? It occurs to me you could retain some accuracy without introducing heat to the pieces. In the detail you made a decent support but NOT the welding. I would be terrified of the thing ( welding is a job I trained to do ). A little weld is quite strong fortunately but . The weld pool must be uniform in both bits being joined. Usually a side to side weaving motion is the answer but very slight to the side of the join then to other ... tic toc tic toc tic toc you see? Use plenty of amps. And practice , practice , practice first. Your welds were too cold and result called bird shit. Superficial, sitting on surface. Thats a tutorial on welding to start with. I don't think "knead it" is any good!!!!!!!! NO GOOD! For a novice very good steady you build and it has qualities far greater than a 100 year old lathe. "This" is intended to be encouraging , though words can come across from different culture in a slighted context. I come from a blunt culture. My speech can sometimes sound rude & offensive ? Be certain I am admiring the bulk of the job!
I agree.. That steady rest should work for light duty work, but I would not trust it for any fine detail machining.. I admire his ambition to make his own tooling, still with machining, there needs to be more attention to tolerances..
Hi Yak when you use your lathe you should use dial caliper to adjust the metal that you turning I'm seeing your chuck running out of cue you may have bearing problems in the chuck housing . The procedure is thus place metal in chuck loosely using the dial caliper gauge mounted on a magnet set dial to zero turn the chuck by hand and if off zero adjust a few times when satisfied turn the chuck and the tip of the dial gauge it should read zero over 360 degree turn .
Yeah i already have a dial indicator. The main problem are these old Bronze bearings, they are very worn out and not precise anymore. So did i a upgrade and built completly a new spindle out of scratch with angular contact ball bearings and roller bearings. Its very very rigid now and the important thing is , that it is more precise than the old spindle.
Welding is purely practice - as you have your Dad to show you the basics. Have you kept an idea of the number of hours this has kept you off the streets and out of the Pub? You certainly have more patience than me for the manual knurling.. Altogether a great project and and great outcome...
Nice job! Just one thing. Dealing with lathes and using these kind of gloves is really dangerous. Better to use a latex type because in case of snagging they will just break and let your hands free.
Don't use any gloves...PERIOD. Even a latex glove snagged could freak you out just enough to cause you to react in a Negative way causing your reflex to hurt or kill you depending on the situation. Just my 1 cent worth... Otherwise, I wish him the best in all he creates on TH-cam....
If I ask a drug addict before his next fix to weld, it would be better than yours 🤣, just a nightmare. But, your machining skills and determination are the ones that count. Welding takes time to learn and also many tips here and there. I love your steady rest.
@@yak-machining When you said that you were going to use like Bondo to cover the bad welds I was like, don't worry bud, TH-cam is full of them. But damn, after the Bondo cover I was like: he was pretty serious about this 😱🤣. -- Try watching some videos on how to make thick lines, you'll love it. And will help you learn about warping when putting too much heat, penetration, prep the materials, etc.
You could have done straight knerling and cut it on the lathe by putting a threading tool on its side and moving the carriage to make the cuts, just rotate the chuck by hand for each cut.. it's slow but it works better than free handing with a file
When you have that much material to remove it would have been far better, faster and less wasteful to chain drill inside the diameter you wanted then either hacksaw between the drilled holes or, alternatively, treppan the section (or a combination of both) I've even used a trim router with a small diameter carbide end mill mounted on tool-post without trouble It was spinning a bit fast (around 20,000rpm) so wore out the cutter after about 37 inches of cutting but lasted much longer than expected for a $3.00 tool bit
Отличная работа! Но хочу дать совет - одень на подшипники кольца. Иначе внешние обоймы подшипников будут часто лопаться. Особенно при центрировании труб.
Совет отличный, согласен. Но вот на счёт момента ,когда больший риск что подшипник разворотит - тут скорее другие факторы. + если смазаны- момент центровки как раз таки не должны почувствовать... Тут скорее длительная работа, давление заставит обойму лопнуть... Перегрев туда же.
@@mihaeks1381 Я не знаю с чем это связано, но точно не со смазкой и не с перегревом. Да и длительная работа не влияет, внешняя обойма лопает быстро, максимум пару минут.
@@johnsutcliffe3209 They are meant to weld stainless to stainless steel. 309 was designed to weld stainless to carbon. In this case you could just use about anything with success.
Hey, very cool Video and nice surfaces for such an old lathe with plain bearings! Two tips: If you expand drilled holes you have to to use half drilling speed of the expand- drill- bit (or lower; for exsample: Use 10m/min instead of 20m/min) to avoid chattering. And NEVER, NEVER, NEVER turn a reamer agains its reaming- direction! Always turn clockwise without any downforce on the reamer. Use much oil and turn futher when pulling out the reamer. Regarding welding: The german (maybe you are geman too ("Gesäß") 😃) farming- magazin "Profi" has an very extensive TH-cam- welding- course, sort by welding technics.
Ja bin aus Deutschland 😁 habe das mit dem Standort USA nur gemacht um vllt eine höhere reichweite zu bekommen. Das mit der reibbahle war so eine sache, am Anfang habe ich ziemlich viel falsch gemacht, was auch zum bruch der reibbahle führte. Auf jeden Fall bin Ich jetzt schlauer Und ich werde mir das mit dem schweißen mal anschauen Danke
@@yak-machining Na, das hört sich doch gut an! Kennst du das Forum www.zerspanungsbude.de ? Falls nicht, kannst du dich dort gerne mal anmelden - das ist (wie der Name schon sagt) in meinen Augen das Fachforum für alle Zerspanungsbegeisterten im Hobbybereich
It certainly looks like you're turning it backwards. Reamers don't cut in that direction. Try cutting your steak with the back of the knife. Instead you probably ruined the reamer. Also use cutting oil when reaming either by hand or machine. Your cut will be smoother and the reamer last longer. Thanks for the video.
you did a nice job there my friend, i'd rather have something that works than is pretty that doesn't......was it me or did your lathe appear to run slowly ? i wondered if a higher speed may have helped on some of the turning but it might have been the way it looked on camera
Would there be a faster better way to bore that out besides drilling a hole and then using a boring bar for all that? Thanks, I don’t know much about this stuff yet, that just seems tedious lol.

For welding, switch to imperial for a while. Your welds are too cold. 1/8 inch rod gets 125 amps for the .125 inch rod. One inch of rod is 1 inch of weld so don’t move too fast. Drag your rod at a 45 degree angle. It should sound like bacon frying. For clean steel use 6013 rod which is a mild steel 60 thousand psi yield all position rod, but try to only flat weld to start. If that was MIG then lead rather than drag your wire. For stick SMAW you could use a 7014 or 7024 drag rod but it needs 50 to 100 amp more current, but it makes the welding stupid simple at the cost of more heat than you want for a machined part. Do not weld without protecting eyes, exposed skin or without good ventilation. Chip welds with eye protection. Cheers & good welding.
@@yak-machining You need pratice pieces of metal to set machine. Run stingers till you get the hange of it. Quality welding isn't as easy as it looks, that's why there is a 4 year apprenticeship to become a journeyman Welder.
Nice work. I am going to be making one in a few months. This was very helpful.
Danke dir
Great video. Nice work. Looks great and works good. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
What was the additional brass screw meant for that was screwed into the brass bushing and cut off?
It was just screwed in to make sure the threaded bushing doesn't come of
Nice work, you must have a lot of patience.
Old school, great job.
AND beauty work on the knurling. Be proud of that effort 👍🏆
You have earned yourself a subscriber,im making a steady soon too,and i needed ideas,this is the best concept i have seen so far,but i will make mine in a different way, because i would like to make it so you can open the top,for better repeatebility. Greetings from Hungary!
I hope yours turn out even better haha.
The function where you can open it , was not a option for me because i forget about it and then it was already too late 😂
But i hope you make a video too
@@yak-machining i think i will make a video too,if i can.
Beautiful workmanship
You can tell you a machinists for sure. That is some really good work but good them welds
Классный люнет. Даже не беря во внимание кач-во сварки (не у всех получается красиво варить). Главное - результат!
Dang dude, I see that you’re wearing a heavy coat for permafrost freeze 🥶 your butt off location. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed your video. Working in those freezing conditions just means that you are a badass in my book.
I would make a cutter and cut through the workpiece on both sides. And the chips would be smaller and we would get another blank for other purposes.
A great build for a young man new to machining I do have a question, why was the thrust bearing placed on the outside next to the thumbscrews when the force is exerted against the inside of the cap with the four screws?
As to welding… I’m terrible too but it’s due to a visual impairment, the only way you will get better is by practicing all you can. Look up a channel called “Welding Tips and Tricks” he has a whole series of videos on how to improve your skills with a Mig, a Stick welder or with TIG welding. All three series are excellent for you to watch. Keep up the great vids.
Thank you very much, I kinda screwed up with the thrust bearing, my plan was to use on both sides but there was no more room for it.
@@yak-machining flip the cap and you’re done.
@@azarellediaz4892 well, now the owner has this problem 🤣
42:00 du hast Axialnadellager verbaut, Kraftaufnahme gesichert, setze drei Rändelrollen ein und du musst nicht mehr feilen😊
Deine Kommentare sind die besten😂 alles längst Geschichte da ich das Hobby und die ganzen Sachen aufgegeben habe
This is fantastic talent of making this, you had amazing idea thanks to your video.
saubere Arbeit!
denke du sprichst deutsch (your dads gesäß xD)
bin seit 20 jahren Dreher. wenn ich dir nen tipp geben darf, würde ich dir empfehlen dir als alternative zu den Rollen noch einen Satz Stößel mit HOLZSPITZEN zu machen. Ja HOLZ!!! einfaches, stinknormales weiches HOLZ.
Rollen machen eigentlich nur bei sehr großen Werkstückgewichten Sinn.
Der große Nachteil von Rollen ist, dass sich Späne zwischen Rolle und Werkstück klemmen können und dir die Oberfläche zerstören können.
der große Vorteil von Holz ist, dass du es in Öl tränken kannst und es sich laufend von innen heraus selbst schmiert, kaum verschleiß, glaubt man kaum, is aber so!
Ansonsten weiter so :)
Verry nice. Just one tip, in stead of turning the whole center into chips, I would have spent some time to grind a tool that will cut out the center (trepanning) It would have saved you some time and you would have had some usefull steel left as a bonus.
Very nice design sir. are the plans available please as would like to have a go at making this.
Sorry mister i dont have plans but a 3D design
@@yak-machining if you are willing to share what format are they in please?
Amazing to see it done by a pro. Great job,loved the video..thanks for sharing it was just fascinating.
I've been a machinist also all my life and I never wear gloves, nor rings, nor scarfs, nor anything else that can possibly remove fingers.
Hi. I also suck on stick or mig welding but I'm not too bad with Tig. Try it. It's almost like soldering and you have much more control. Good job BTW. Thanks
@@jerzyszczepanski2518 yeah im planning to restart this hobby and then I want to learn welding thanks
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Awesome job !! I need one and pray I can come close to as good as yours !
Thank you haha, i hope it will be better
@@yak-machining not even !! I can see quality I just haven't manage to harness how to get it !
what a craftsman !
good job.!! Perhabs your welding-experience can be increased. Daddy learned welding at "Deutsche Bundesbahn". And that was good for "heavy metall"😇
brings back memories...made one exactly like this in 1974 in my apprenticeship
Only with a lathe or with a mill?
@@yak-machining was a fully equipped shop with both VERY large and smaller (average) size equipment...
at a glance, you'd swear your steady and mine were the same!
sure caught my eye...lol
Woww very precise in making the workpiece retainer on the lathe, thank you my teacher waiting for the next video 🙏 greetings from Indonesia 🙏
Thank you very much, im still learning.
Cute job🥰👌👍😁

What brand is your four jaw chuck used in this video?
What is the diameter of the chuck as well? Thank you. Enjoyed the content.
Thank you, its a chinese one but imported by a german company called "paulimot". Its 160mm
Yep way better then those China ones any day thanks nice vid no music straight to the point
Thank you for that compliment :)
For learning how to weld I recommend learning in person from somebody instead of a video so then the person can give you feedback. Welding is mostly just practice once you get a good pattern down. Half moon weave back and forth slowly moving forward. From your welds it looks like you need higher wire speed, and a little more heat can't hurt. Just be careful when welding machines prices so they don't warp. Possibly think of investing in a weld clamping table to minimize warp on machined parts?
Yeah its something i have to learn.
My dad is a very good welder but didnt had time to learn from him, maybe someday.
I think i should try stick welding first, because in this Video i used a mig welding machine
@@yak-machining Stick is a easier to learn, which is good for beginners. However, while it is much stronger than mig because of how hot it can get (and therefore more penetration), it also causes much greater warp in parts. Still, it is much cheaper than mig to run!
Hello. My understanding is , not ideal to drag the tool backward over the surface you cut. I think you're meant to back away reverse the tool to the starting point and reset for the next cut? (you follow me?) slop in the ways on the cross slide shows a tendancy to improve the depth of cut when you pull out like you're having a shag. Plus why not thread those big pilots into the ring instead of welding? It occurs to me you could retain some accuracy without introducing heat to the pieces.
In the detail you made a decent support but NOT the welding. I would be terrified of the thing ( welding is a job I trained to do ). A little weld is quite strong fortunately but . The weld pool must be uniform in both bits being joined. Usually a side to side weaving motion is the answer but very slight to the side of the join then to other ... tic toc tic toc tic toc you see? Use plenty of amps. And practice , practice , practice first. Your welds were too cold and result called bird shit. Superficial, sitting on surface. Thats a tutorial on welding to start with. I don't think "knead it" is any good!!!!!!!! NO GOOD!
For a novice very good steady you build and it has qualities far greater than a 100 year old lathe. "This" is intended to be encouraging , though words can come across from different culture in a slighted context. I come from a blunt culture. My speech can sometimes sound rude & offensive ? Be certain I am admiring the bulk of the job!
I agree.. That steady rest should work for light duty work, but I would not trust it for any fine detail machining.. I admire his ambition to make his own tooling, still with machining, there needs to be more attention to tolerances..
Hi Yak when you use your lathe you should use dial caliper to adjust the metal that you turning I'm seeing your chuck running out of cue you may have bearing problems in the chuck housing . The procedure is thus place metal in chuck loosely using the dial caliper gauge mounted on a magnet set dial to zero turn the chuck by hand and if off zero adjust a few times when satisfied turn the chuck and the tip of the dial gauge it should read zero over 360 degree turn .
Yeah i already have a dial indicator. The main problem are these old Bronze bearings, they are very worn out and not precise anymore.
So did i a upgrade and built completly a new spindle out of scratch with angular contact ball bearings and roller bearings.
Its very very rigid now and the important thing is , that it is more precise than the old spindle.
Waw is amazing the work you do, congratulation.
Excellent work
My best friend, Excellent video! Keep it up! I had to see the full video, as always, Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Thank you
Really well done. Great job
Thank you mate :)
Good teacher and Good US man .. thanks
Welding is purely practice - as you have your Dad to show you the basics. Have you kept an idea of the number of hours this has kept you off the streets and out of the Pub? You certainly have more patience than me for the manual knurling.. Altogether a great project and and great outcome...
😂 thank you.
Yes the hand filing was very time consuming and exhausting, i only did one at a time.
Good job ;) what ist this angle Gauge pls?
Nice job!
Just one thing. Dealing with lathes and using these kind of gloves is really dangerous. Better to use a latex type because in case of snagging they will just break and let your hands free.
Don't use any gloves...PERIOD. Even a latex glove snagged could freak you out just enough to cause you to react in a Negative way causing your reflex to hurt or kill you depending on the situation. Just my 1 cent worth... Otherwise, I wish him the best in all he creates on TH-cam....
Thanks to all for the shared knowledge, I'm sure a rubber glove can still spook you too
Very good job, using minimal equipment .
If I ask a drug addict before his next fix to weld, it would be better than yours 🤣, just a nightmare. But, your machining skills and determination are the ones that count. Welding takes time to learn and also many tips here and there. I love your steady rest.
I still can't weld 🤣🤣🤣 but thank you
@@yak-machining When you said that you were going to use like Bondo to cover the bad welds I was like, don't worry bud, TH-cam is full of them. But damn, after the Bondo cover I was like: he was pretty serious about this 😱🤣. -- Try watching some videos on how to make thick lines, you'll love it. And will help you learn about warping when putting too much heat, penetration, prep the materials, etc.

Where do you keep getting these strange metal horn shaped pieces you’re using as raw stock?
My dad told me that it used to be chair legs but what kind of chair, i don't know.
And why they choosed stainless is another mistery
Дядя Витя Леоньтев тебе бы сразу неуд поставил за такое расточительство материала☝️
Tolle Arbeit. Bist du zufrieden mit den Artikeln von Paulimot?
Danke :) ja auf jeden Fall, ist zwar meistens China ware aber dennoch zufrieden stellend
Excellent work.
You could have done straight knerling and cut it on the lathe by putting a threading tool on its side and moving the carriage to make the cuts, just rotate the chuck by hand for each cut.. it's slow but it works better than free handing with a file
Thats a nice one , thanks.
Wow.. Amazing job bro. Keep going forward mate. I like your style and I cant wait to see your next project 🍻
Thank you very much
When you have that much material to remove it would have been far better, faster and less wasteful to chain drill inside the diameter you wanted then either hacksaw between the drilled holes or, alternatively, treppan the section (or a combination of both)
I've even used a trim router with a small diameter carbide end mill mounted on tool-post without trouble
It was spinning a bit fast (around 20,000rpm) so wore out the cutter after about 37 inches of cutting but lasted much longer than expected for a $3.00 tool bit
Ingenious and beautiful
Thank you :)
15:52 knock knock joke: it’s me I wanne built a lathe steady 😂😂😂
facing off the material first helps prevent balance issues which can change the performance of of the steady rest on difficult materials
What model and made is the lathe since it’s a 100 year old?. It’s beautiful
There arent any information on the lathe itself, only a small plate with the numbers for threading and such. But it says made in Hamburg
My lathe is as old as yours so yes I agree
Great video content for only having 1 video, would like see more!
Thanks, im currently working on another Video right now, so stay tuned.
What kind of welding did you use to complete the project MIG or Stick?
Отличная работа! Но хочу дать совет - одень на подшипники кольца. Иначе внешние обоймы подшипников будут часто лопаться. Особенно при центрировании труб.
Совет отличный, согласен. Но вот на счёт момента ,когда больший риск что подшипник разворотит - тут скорее другие факторы. + если смазаны- момент центровки как раз таки не должны почувствовать... Тут скорее длительная работа, давление заставит обойму лопнуть... Перегрев туда же.
@@mihaeks1381 Я не знаю с чем это связано, но точно не со смазкой и не с перегревом. Да и длительная работа не влияет, внешняя обойма лопает быстро, максимум пару минут.
@@katkov000 да я просто судил из опыта... Правда не приходилось точить в люнете с подшипником без ролика... Такое и в голову не придёт)
Я не понял какую роль играет игольчатый упорный подшипник? Помоему он там вообще не к месту.
Just one comment......how can you weld Stainless steel to steel? must be some new technology?
I am not sure if it is stainless steel.
It did not rust, its magnetic and you can't cold blue it
Nothing new. It's long been done using E 309 rods.
304 or 316 stainless welds to steel very well using standard mig wire
@@johnsutcliffe3209 They are meant to weld stainless to stainless steel. 309 was designed to weld stainless to carbon. In this case you could just use about anything with success.
Hey, very cool Video and nice surfaces for such an old lathe with plain bearings!
Two tips:
If you expand drilled holes you have to to use half drilling speed of the expand- drill- bit (or lower; for exsample: Use 10m/min instead of 20m/min) to avoid chattering.
And NEVER, NEVER, NEVER turn a reamer agains its reaming- direction! Always turn clockwise without any downforce on the reamer. Use much oil and turn futher when pulling out the reamer.
Regarding welding: The german (maybe you are geman too ("Gesäß") 😃) farming- magazin "Profi" has an very extensive TH-cam- welding- course, sort by welding technics.
Ja bin aus Deutschland 😁 habe das mit dem Standort USA nur gemacht um vllt eine höhere reichweite zu bekommen.

Hello, i use Carbide insert cutting tools
Excellent. Thank you!
34:10 before assembly, it was necessary to practice welding)
and in general, it's good
Thank you.
Yeah , im still bad at welding 🤣
A excepción de la soldadura ! Buen trabajo
Yo lo hubiese hecho con rosca y no soldado lo demás está bien
Did you turn it backwards when using the reamer?
At that time it was Impossible to turn it backwards because the Chuck was only threaded, but with the new spindle its possible now
It certainly looks like you're turning it backwards. Reamers don't cut in that direction. Try cutting your steak with the back of the knife. Instead you probably ruined the reamer. Also use cutting oil when reaming either by hand or machine. Your cut will be smoother and the reamer last longer. Thanks for the video.
@@ronwilken5219 yes i did that mistake and broke the reamer, but now im a smarter person lol. And i used oil, just for the scene i didnt used it.
you did a nice job there my friend, i'd rather have something that works than is pretty that doesn't......was it me or did your lathe appear to run slowly ? i wondered if a higher speed may have helped on some of the turning but it might have been the way it looked on camera
Would there be a faster better way to bore that out besides drilling a hole and then using a boring bar for all that? Thanks, I don’t know much about this stuff yet, that just seems tedious lol.
It is indeed tedious. A better way would be to use a trepanning tool for the right radius, it would be quickier plus it leaves Material for later use
