The first rule of painting... The only area where the paint will definitely f*** up is where even the blind will notice it. I'm very impress with your hinge making tool. Cheers from a shed in a secret location in Iowa.
Enjoyed your vlog, certainly an creative and individualistic approach that worked very well. Love the jackanory part plus the ramblings, made me laugh out loud with the sound effects. Talking of mig welding I have been at it for over 40 years, using like you co2 at first as you said cheap also i had a contact in the brewing industry who obtained refills when required. Found it welded cooler on thinner steel making less chance of burning through. On trying argon mix for the first time found it very ferocious and wondered if it had a flammable gas mixed in it. Of course it didn't and after making adjustments as required loved the smooth welds and better penetration it offered on good clean steel, although not so forgiving on thinner rusted metal. Even my wife finds your channel entertaining and informative so thats a plus for me. Luckily she is a petrol head too at nearly 70 years old, but still appreciates the sound of certain engines. Merlin, v8s, v and straight 6s give her goose bumps. Love the lathe work to and milling. I did a few years on a set of Herbert multi spindle lathes and in my peak was in charge of three machines at a time, setting up, loading up and re sharpening tooling. It was hard going especially working out gearbox changes for different operations, die heads etc were easy to ruin or smash if timing was wrong. Sometimes wonder how i did it. Only ever did lathe work on single spindle at school in the good old days apparently. TTFN
Thanks Rodney, the sizzling bacon sound is really healthy with argon mix and you are not wrong about getting used to using it, I thought the supplier had sold me a bottle of propane :-) Thanks for the work memories they are always interesting to hear. All the Best Mr Tweed, and pass on my regards to Mrs Perkins, she sounds like a keeper.
Impressed by your louvres, well done, I guess back in the day theses were all stamped out on a heavy press, a fine effort sir! I need to make hinges for the glove boxes on both Swallows as I cannot find anything of a suitable quality, so that has given me inspiration! My bonnet hinge on the Standard Swallow has fractured in several places and I have done (will do) nothing about it, but seeing how you made your hinge has further inspired me, so will cut my teeth on the small hinges first... then perhaps I will do something about it! Thanks for sharing!
Really nice to see the Riley back centre stage! The panel looks really nice and after a lot of hard work and thought looks like it has always been there, really annoying about the paint problems, I think this is one of the problems of using the "modern" wonder paints that we are forced to use now, just one observation on the louvers, they appear to be upside down and round the wrong way? Is there a reason for that? CO2 the local pub was the best source for that, they used it for the beer pumps. Stay safe! Chris B.
I did study loads of Riley louvres and they do vary, when viewed from the front the openings are directed towards the back of the dynamo to aid cooling, also the airflow is pushing the panel down so hopefully keeping it in place when trotting along and yes the CO2 gas I was using was brewing gas but I wasn't pilfering it from the local.....honest Guv. All the Best
I’ve been coveting your avometer. Although Jenkins calendar did catch my eye as it swooshed past. That was some very fine fabrication. Excellent approach on the loo-vers. 👍👍
Oh yeah, paint issues. How come it never sticks to what you want but any over spray is a bugger to remove! Was an odd soundtrack for the louvre making. Odder even than what that Fred by the Shacks chap in Iowa does!
its swings and roundabouts, if you don't do much welding then small bottles are fine but if your doing a lot and get through a lot of gas then the bigger rented bottles are financially more economical
Yea loving your work as usual Mr tweed old mans porn in my book sorry let a bit to much of my self go there did o mention I passed my cbt on Saturday got my theory on Wednesday but buying a speed triple tomorrow if it’s not already sold but that’s enough about me how’s the bantam coming along ? Hope you haven’t done to much with the French thing without mm precision filming you know I’m a bit of a stickler for this sort of thing 👍🏻
'Cough' !!! Steady now . Congratulations on the passing of your CBT and good luck with theory . The Bantam work is continuing and work has started on Brigette but rest assured progress is being recorded ( even if i can't remember what i done when it gets to putting videos together 😁)
It's because the makers are trying to placate the current upcoming generations that don't have the patience to do proper prep. They want to put it on, show it a microwave and be done.
Great result Tweedy. We'll have to have a brew some time. Best wishes, Dean.
Indeed we shall

I know the frustration of paint crazing when going for a nice gloss. Still, you have actually got a rather good patina.
I bet if I tried to get that patina the paint would of come out gloss ;-)

Thanks Gary, they used to stamp them out stamp and die in a fly press. Glad to have inspired you.....now get down the garage :-)

Ok you can look after it during the summer holidays.....but not the calendar, that's staying locked in the office 😉
Hobbyweld rent free bottles co2/argon mix in three bottle sizes ☺️👍
I was going to post the exact same message.
Thanks for the info I´ll have a look
Good value. I have the Tig gas and the Oxygen in 'Original' size.
I was about to write the same use it for Mig Tig mixes and Oxygen for oxy propane
Another fine and informative video from Mr Tweed.
Thank you kindly
good show
Thanks Nazz

Can you not buy gas bottles from Ebay or the like? It then becomes a swap like for like at whomever you buy your gas from. No rental fees incurred.
its swings and roundabouts, if you don't do much welding then small bottles are fine but if your doing a lot and get through a lot of gas then the bigger rented bottles are financially more economical

I have come to the conclusion over the last couple of years that modern paint is not only rubbish, it's vindictive.
