      Another great repair!! makes sense to weld up instead of replacing the shaft section if machine is just going to be used for a few months, I'm sure it will last along time anyway. When is the Shaper going to be moved into the shop? Looking forward to that one. I've got a 26" Shaper which I bought of a Engineering shop in Rockhampton QLD that closed down around 3yrs back. It come with some heavy duty tooling for internal keyways etc which I will never use. I could send them down to you if you wanted them as I would never use them doing Motorcycle repair. I live up at Gympie which isn't to far away.

    First thanks for making the video and showing it to me.
    Fortunately this was only a short, not too thick shaft.
    I once did a similar repair on a very large thick axle.
    Same problem, bearing stuck.
    I also welded this axle.
    I only did that welding on a lathe.
    Reason: I didn't want to stop welding and attached the welding torch to the support.
    Gives a much more regular weld.
    The reason the bearing got stuck was because the fit of the outer ring was too tight.
    I made sure that the outer ring had a loose fit and put pressure on the outer ring with a cup spring.
    The machine has never given a problem again.

    Curtis I don’t know where you learnt your Trade but to have those Turning and welding skills is pretty Unique. I am a Plater/Welder by trade in the UK, but have spent the last twenty years working for a commercial aircraft manufacturer because you go where the money is. I have not really welded at all in that time. Those days doing my apprenticeship were some of the most rewarding. Watching a project from start to finish and being involved with the installation. Building aircraft requires a different set of skills but you rarely folllow the product to the finally assembly line. I did mainly Mig and Stick back in the day for welding structural sections. I think I fancy doing more Tig welding and I think that’s where I going to concentrate my efforts, welding more stainless, Alu and exotic metals. More refined projects.
    Keep up the really good work mate. Always good to see proper skills in the real world.👍

    I also LOVE your work ethic and we seems to share the desire to not only make the job required perfect but its appearance as well, like in the video for the dual hydraulic pistons where you had to wait so long for materials and just the housing didn't appear strait so you lathed it down to also look perfect, I loved that, and love that you follow the rule of you would not be happy if you received back parts that looked bad even if they worked right so you would never let it leave your shop I just adore that ethic.

      People that say this shit are 99% just trying to save face and not have to admit "we're broke AF and are barely staying afloat, I/we can't afford the extra $xxx for a proper repair" and are going to be using that machine for years to come. They'll probably even take it to a *different* machine shop next time, again, to save face and not be recognized lol
      Edit: I speak from experience. I've had to have stuff repaired and not been able to get a _proper_ job done, just " _good enough_ " to get me by a while, because I was soo damn poor lol

    All kidding aside about OZ, it is clear you have some pretty good skills. When I got out of school there was no assistance programs or guidance to get into any apprenticeship programs so we were just left hanging. Unless you lived it a city /town where there was an industrial base you were left to your own devices to find a path. There was no internet in the 60's so I looked around and became a natural gas technician / fitter, then pilot fighting forest fires and working for an airline. But when mum developed cancer I left all that to look after her and took a temporary job as a cop which lasted 37 years.
    I have a small machine shop in my back yard and make parts for Piper Super Cubs. and others.
    I'm a little envious of your knowledge and skills set . You make it all look very fluid and easy. I soak up a fair amount of Machining / production TH-cam channels among others.
    You do good work and have the equipment to do so. I'm just now transitioning from HSS tooling to indexable carbide inserts. getting old isn't any fun.

    Side note: I'm not a machinist (yet) and I don't even own a lathe (yet :D), but I've previously seen people express the idea that using abrasives on the lathe (24:45) isn't so great for the ways and thought I would echo it in the unlikely case you hadn't considered it.

    • @wiedehopf9068

      I'm sure he preheated the part, so cracking from the heat wouldn't be the issue pretty sure. (maybe i just don't understand the issue you're talking about :) )
      But the original shaft material is likely stronger than his weld due to being forged or pressed or whatever.

    Laughing out loud on the outtakes. Best videography I’ve seen on any of these types of videos. The slo-mo video is great, but the slo-mo sound is like a revelation or something. The use of the correct tinted glass on the welding gave me a view I’ve never seen before - it always looked like magic before. I’m just a house carpenter, so I don’t understand all the intricacies and details, but these videos are (strangely) dramatically riveting to me. I find myself leaning in to see detail just as The Giggler zooms in to give it to me. Well done, team! Thanks.
