"Shakin' it up here Boss!" I 'bout busted a gut. I love your humor. We have no failure to communicate in your videos. I don't want to restore machines I want to use them.
Your method of trimming the masking tape gave me fond memories of my father teaching me to “tap” a new gasket for a transmission cover on my first car some forty-five years ago.
My dad wasn’t pleased with how our old converted 1954 school bus was running coming back from the lake back in the early 70’s, so he pulled over at a roadside park, opened the hood, took the carburetor apart and made a gasket out of a soda cracker box with only a small ball peen hammer and a pocketknife. Ran like a charm the rest of the way home.
Wow Mr. Pete. Reading through the comments made me realize how few people have had the benefit of working with and learning from true craftsmen in industry. The hammer tap technique is the standard for making gaskets and apprentice mill rights, plant mechanics, electricians, etc were the ones charged with making all gaskets for the journeyman teaching them. By the time the apprentice broke out he could do it in his sleep. To see the response from viewers I’m overwhelmed by the sheer number that focused on that one basic technique that has obviously almost gone the way of the dodo among today’s youth. What a service to continuing the “art” of industrial arts you have done. There should be an award for you. Oh yeah, there is, it’s called satisfaction and pride in work.
Dear Mr. Peterson, I really enjoy the videos of your work. I especially enjoy the auction videos. When I was younger, I would go with my dad to farm auctions and sales. He was well known to the auction companies, as he would buy hay rack items and boxes. He was the 10 cent guy (then 25 cents, etc, as time went on ), getting stuff that nobody wanted, for the low bid. It was always fun to go through the boxes to see what treasures there might be. Also a good way to find out what things were. Thanks for the memories !
I love seeing the look of dread on young people's faces when a ready made gasket isn't available. It's as if it's the end of the world. It's a big contrast to when I was young. I didn't know there was such a thing as store bought gasket.
I learned the technique of hammering the masking to cut it along the machined surfaces by watching a much older video, glad to see you show the technique. I am sure I am not the only one to pick up that trick. Always learning from you Tubalcain, thanks for being my shop teacher. Really appreciate the work you put into these videos, God bless you Sir.
Hi Mr. Pete - Thanks again for the great video. I am no machinist, but love watching your videos. They are a great way to relax after a weeks worth of stress at my job. Your sense of humor along with the satisfaction of seeing something taken apart and put back together again keep me watching. I thought of you last week when there was a press conference on the Kenosha shooting and they had a lady next to the police chief signing for the hearing impared community! Best wishes from your neighbor in Wisconsin.
The machine just has to work well and be preserved. It doesn’t have to be a museum grade restoration. Enjoy your channel. I’m not a machinist but I learn something from every video.
I have only been watching your videos for just over a year but have watched a lot of them. Your grandson is now a man. His voice is so much different now, it caught me by surprise.
Never seen the " tap on the edge of the masking tape ' trick. Learned something new again!! I'll have to remember that. Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan
Loved the Cool Hand Luke reference. That cord end for the light looks like one of the old non-NEMA devices. Before NEMA established a standard there were a lot of configurations that had multiple voltage and amperage references that led to problems with misapplied voltages. Now there is not a single twist lock device that is not a dead front so that guy is really old.
It's coming along nicely, I hope you take your time during reassembly to explain all the details and adjustments of the final process. I decided to work on my 26" crescent band saw instead of the atlas horizontal mill mostly because the mill is working and the saw has been out in my driveway all apart under a tarp for the last 7 years. One good thing about these Covid times are all the round tuits getting done.🙂
My same comment when the last parts of my 1936 SB 9 were finish with paint (@@) ! But worth all the effort when a vintage piece has been given a second chance, and other's that visit our shop see the effort it took to restore, THX for sharing and inspiring us ole times on, Bear
Hi Mr Peterson, Watching you tap the masking tape with a hammer reminded me of when i was an apprentice and learnt to make gaskets that way... Many thanks for making this series. Take care Paul,, Ps. I got the Cool Hand Luke reference, one of my favorite films.
Enjoy your video's, I have seen the plug for the light when I worked at Carnegie Mellon university. They were cleaning out the lower storage rooms and a lot of the instruments had that type of plugs. Keep up the great work.
Those sliding surfaces still show a lot of the original hand scraping. Although it is an old machine I'm thinking it didn't see an awful lot of use in it's life and it probably serves to show the value of that oil pump system as well. Lots of years left in that machine, more years than I have left in me!
love the hammer tip for taping off the slides 👍i just restored an atlas lathe and wish i would have seen this before as taping everythiing off was a chore
Good morning Mr. Pete, Looking good with the paint. Guess you will have one screw lleft over when finished with no place to go. Then you will have it rite. LOL.
We are back in Florida now. I was in my shop when that durachio or whatever that storm was called and my building just about left! I ran back to the house in the hail to safety. They had 140 mph wind here. We were very lucky, thank God.
Love this series,only problem is now I want one.Luckily,or maybe not Ive got no room and no budget for one.Really loved that small town where it came from.
its amazing how spray paint has changed over the last few decades. I can remember years ago you only had a choice of a few dozen colors and finishes. I now go into the local Menards and they have a whole isle with thousands of choices of colors and finishes. Even the least expensive paint seems to cover much better than it ever has. It used to be cheap spray paint took a 6 or more coats to cover what you are spraying. Now 2-3 coats seems to work.
Hi. Mr Pete. I am in the middle of a very involved restoration of a south bend 10 heavy lathe. I noticed that your using the smoke grey paint. I am using that on the cabinet and a little lighter paint on the lathe itself. It is an incredible amount of work all told. But I should have a dandy lathe when I’m done. Good luck , love your vids keep em comin.
Enjoyed the video, a coat of paint sure spruces it up. Reminds me of a co-worker who used yo resell trucks, he would call that a $2000 detail job! Cheers!
Mr Pete. Love the videos. I just bought a 7" shaper for my home shop. In the process of cleaning, I have found that the lube pump is not working, and I need to remove it to trouble shoot it. I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the two lube lines to the slide ways. Have you seen weather the lines come out of the ways, or the pump? Thanks Dave
I did more digging and found a plug on the outside of the case. It was a through galley for oil line at the ways. I used a punch to drive the plug in and push the oil line fitting out on the inside. With those out, I was able to remove the pump. I found the inlet check ball at the bottom of the pump was stuck, which let led to the pump not working.
I loved your trick with the hammer to cut the masking tape along the edge of the machined surfaces. P.S., I own several hundred shares of a stock called RPM International (NYSE: RPM) that is the parent company of Rustoleum. It's sentimental favorite as it was the first individual stock that I bought and is one of my best performing investments.
Well I found space for the shaper in my basement.Now thanks to your instruction I will begin dissasembly to move it to a warm enviorment'I'm still having trouble removing the cabinet drawers.Be great if I could find a short video.Actually the rest of the machine appears rather simply thank's to to you mr Pete
If you smoke the mold with a candle you will facilitate the removal of the casting. I used to make lead soldiers 75 years ago, that's why I cant remember anything anymore. Played with Mercury too. JIM
That lamp socket looks like a NMEA ML1 series connector, ML1P for plug, ML1R for receptacle, 15a 125vac rated. they make one with a center grounding pin if you wanted to convert to 3 wire, is a NMEA ML3P/R Hubbell makes them, you can get them online, a quick search shows them running about 25 dollars a piece.
after such work at washing, scuffing and sanding, your work for the preparation worth using a 2 stage industrial paint applier with a small spray gun, much more resistant to wear, oil and solvents.
Hi MrPete,, is there any chance that you will do little steam engine builds again? I really did enjoy them, thx. Diesel Fiitter that lives in Australia
@@mrpete222 that would be great if you did,, in my pic its a small lathe over the left shoulder and just out the pic on the right is a mill,, In my yr 12 matal class at high school, our major was building a steam engine,, I have built a few more over the years at work,, but nothing like yours MrPete, you sir, are a master machinist
Lyle I can get those plugs for you if necessary on the Brunswick bowling machines we use them on our accelerator boxes if you like I can help you along with that
Yeah, but Mr. Pete upgrades to grounded systems when fixing things up. He wants a NEMA L6-15 plug and receptacle to get that light up to date and safe.
I'm with you on hating to paint. But I think it's funny you liked models as a kid and now hate painting. Anyway. Love the progress you have made. Such a cute little shaper.

"Shakin' it up here Boss!" - cool hand Pete!
👍
That made me laugh out loud!
Exactly what I was going to post
Nobody can eat fifty eggs...lol.
What we have here is failure to communicate.
So - that’s how you’re painted edges look so crisp. Thanks Mr Pete.

Yes, I did not even mention the technique, I thought everyone knew that. I have made gaskets in other videos by that method.

Coming along great, it will look good in my new shop addition.
Love your taping technique, just like making a gasket the old fashioned way

A plastic hammer would probably be better
about not damaging the surface.

Now there is not a single twist lock device that is not a dead front so that guy is really old.
It's a pleasure watching a practical restoration for home shop use. Thanks for posting.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's amazing what a coat of paint can do.. Lookin' forward to next episode !
COOL HAND LUKE! one of the best movies of all time! So good- thx for the laughs
I can hardly think of anything better on an early Saturday morning, Good coffee, Mr. Pete!
👍
It's a joy to see someone "tapping" the mask in - I don't think I've seen anyone do that in ages. Love following your progress as usual!!
It's coming along nicely, I hope you take your time during reassembly to explain all the details and adjustments of the final process.
I decided to work on my 26" crescent band saw instead of the atlas horizontal mill mostly because the mill is working and the saw has been out in my driveway all apart under a tarp for the last 7 years. One good thing about these Covid times are all the round tuits getting done.🙂

Take care
Paul,,
Ps. I got the Cool Hand Luke reference, one of my favorite films.
👍👍
Hammer tapping on the tape,great tip.Way better than using a knife.
I was thinking the same thing.
I make gaskets like that, I will use that method for masking machined surfaces from now on. Never thought of that before.
Lol love the cool hand reference! Always a pleasure Mr Pete.
I am new to bullet casting, though I have reloaded for 45 years. It is an incredible feeling when your own bullet fills your freezer.
Yes
Another great video. Cant wait to see it running.
In the spirit of cool hand luke, mr lucas war hero lol..." sometimes a rattle can can do a real cool job"!
Neat trick with the blue tape and hammer
THANK YOU...for sharing. Looking very nice.
Enjoy your video's, I have seen the plug for the light when I worked at Carnegie Mellon university. They were cleaning out the lower storage rooms and a lot of the instruments had that type of plugs. Keep up the great work.
Seeing Jordan reminded me of your first video- something with him and Lego.
LOL, "Shaking it up here BOSS" Cool hand Luke.
That's a real nice machine. Sure glad you were able to save it from the scrap man.
Those sliding surfaces still show a lot of the original hand scraping. Although it is an old machine I'm thinking it didn't see an awful lot of use in it's life and it probably serves to show the value of that oil pump system as well. Lots of years left in that machine, more years than I have left in me!
It’s looking so goood! Enjoying every bit of it.
Thanks
I like your technique for cutting the tape edges

Scraping ways =Keith Ruccer he has it under control!!
Good morning Mr. Pete, Looking good with the paint. Guess you will have one screw lleft over when finished with no place to go. Then you will have it rite. LOL.
Lookin' good, Mr. Pete!
Using the old gasket forming techniques for masking tape love it
Yes
We are back in Florida now. I was in my shop when that durachio or whatever that storm was called and my building just about left! I ran back to the house in the hail to safety. They had 140 mph wind here. We were very lucky, thank God.
Wow, I bet that was scary. You should have stayed in Iowa, LOL
Love this series,only problem is now I want one.Luckily,or maybe not Ive got no room and no budget for one.Really loved that small town where it came from.

Nice project , when you get our age ,that's plenty good enough . God bless .
peeling the masking tape off has to the most satisfying part of any refinishing job.
Nice trick, using a hammer to trim masking tape! I would never have thought of that. I usually use a razor knife or something abrasive.
👍
LOL LOL LOL LOL
You never fail to make me bust out laughing.
Old Luke out behind the bush.
Looks good.
I replaced the plug on mine they are still available from Hubbell. You will have to order it.
Coming right along and looking good. I'll have to try your "hammered" painting technique.
Looking good thanks for the video.
Very good video.Thank you.

Good idea hammering off the masking tape, which flattens the edges to minimise paint bleed - but not too hard! :)
Mr Pete. Love the videos. I just bought a 7" shaper for my home shop. In the process of cleaning, I have found that the lube pump is not working, and I need to remove it to trouble shoot it.

I'd never seen that technique for trimming tape with a hammer. Seems pretty intuitive, I don't know why I never thought of it.
A very good way to keep paint out of smaller holes, is to use foam Earplugs.
Good idea. I have 1 million earplugs
Looking good.
Certainly looks a much bigger project when its all apart than when its altogether. Its looking very nice though.
Yes
"Shaking' it up here boss". Cool hand Luke and shaky Lyle. You got me wondering how many hard boiled eggs you could eat in one sitting.

LOL Shop is a mess? You should see mine! Mine stays a total mess....Love your vids.. Cheers; Mike in Louisiana....
Morning, Lyle. Looks like I'll be watching paint dry. 📌
Thanks for another great video...That socket looks like a NEMA ML-1P ... Hubbell HBL7465V About 10 bucks.
Keep up the good job kid one of this day you will be as good as me
I will never be that good
On par with the best blue tape work in the New Knighted Steaks!

If you smoke the mold with a candle you will facilitate the removal of the casting.
I used to make lead soldiers 75 years ago, that's why I cant remember anything anymore.
Played with Mercury too.
JIM
Did the shaper become an obsolete tool being replaced by the mill?
Pretty much
Satisfying
those two prong twist lock plugs are available on ebay. My Walker Turner bandsaw uses the same outlet.
For sure there will be remaining screws after reassembly as there always are... you can use one of those to replace the lost pin..
That lamp socket looks like a NMEA ML1 series connector, ML1P for plug, ML1R for receptacle, 15a 125vac rated. they make one with a center grounding pin if you wanted to convert to 3 wire, is a NMEA ML3P/R Hubbell makes them, you can get them online, a quick search shows them running about 25 dollars a piece.
@7:09 "Still shakin' dat bush, boss."
...'Cool hand' Luke

Can't wait to see some chips coming off this beauty
Smoke the aluminum mold or get some Frankfort Arsenal mold release spray graphite to get the lead out of the molds easier.
I wish you would stop being so good to me captain.......
lol

Hi MrPete,, is there any chance that you will do little steam engine builds again? I really did enjoy them, thx. Diesel Fiitter that lives in Australia
Yes, there is a chance. But the last few that I did were not received well

We share the same affinity for "Cool Hand Luke"
Yes
Attention the professor is in the house at ease And carry-on

Was the spraying section speeded up? I think it was possibly? Nice clean edges though.
7:02 Cool Hand Lyle
lol
I been spoiled. Fireball and Professor Pete in 1 day
Fun!
Lyle I can get those plugs for you if necessary on the Brunswick bowling machines we use them on our accelerator boxes if you like I can help you along with that
That looks like a "midget locking flanged plug," available at Grainger.
Yeah, but Mr. Pete upgrades to grounded systems when fixing things up. He wants a NEMA L6-15 plug and receptacle to get that light up to date and safe.
I believe you might have cut your own gasket a time or two. That grey looks good.
Yes, hundreds of them, LOL
Mr Pete do your neighbors always ask for you're assistance since you're handy with tools and stuff?
I have many of those miniature twist-lok 15A plugs. I'll try to mail you a few.
Thanks I will keep you in mind
Smoke the mould?
I'm with you on hating to paint. But I think it's funny you liked models as a kid and now hate painting.
Anyway. Love the progress you have made. Such a cute little shaper.
