What I like about your vids AB is you always seem to answer my questions when I ask them, I'm like why would he do it like that and bam you answer it in the video haha. I'm like there's no way all that work was worth it considering the time you invested and sure enough you covered that too. Can't beat the experience gained though!
Thanks for adding the epilogue about costs at the end.....i appreciate being able to think critically and learn a lesson.....unless it is your profession (or you are rich) it is probably not worth buying OE (aftermarket exists for a reason)....silver lining: your parts are better than aftermarket and we got an entertaining video.
Well you live and learn by these projects. Next time you think about doing such repair you'll remember this one and probably end up making the better decision. Great craftsmanship tough.
I've not asked any of the 300+ channels I sub to this question. ''Could you please create a tutorial video on how to create a video by using different videos, that are good enough to pass your scrutiny?''
I don't think I would feel comfortable using other people's videos as specific examples but at some point I may make a video about how I make videos. Talking about myself just makes me feel really pretentious. I am flattered you would ask though.
Oh you mean just editing clips together? That's very simple for the kinds of videos I make. I use Vegas Pro but there are lots of free programs that are similar. I believe ShotCut and CapCut are two of the most popular ones.
In this case I think the biggest issue was using it in salt water which will destroy pins and bushings whether or not they're greased. I'm sure the lack of grease didn't help anything though.
Getting me nervous seeing you press flat on round. Think about making some radius blocks on the mill or lathe. The saddle lessens the chances of spitting the piece out and hurting or damaging something or someone.
You can eliminate metal warping by symmetrically distributing heat expansion as you weld. That is a metallurgical engineering fact. Do shorter weld runs, like 3 to 4", no more than 6". Do shorter runs on thinner metal pieces. Jump to the symmetric opposite side of the component after each weld run to evenly distribute the heat change tension. When you go back across the component, make the next weld on the opposite side of the plate from the first weld, then jump across the component, to the opposite side of the second weld. Work your way around the component like you are symmetrically torquing down a flywheel or an engine head, without over-tensioning any part of the metallic component. Those long weld runs create too much heat in that area which causes too much tension on that part of the component from heat expansion. After a short weld on each side, hit the piece with a hammer on both sides to relieve the tension. I learned that from a father-in-law who was a machinist-mechanic putting together B-17s and B-29s for Boing during WWII in Seattle. When you start with tac-welds, ping the tac-weld and the opposite side of the tac-weld with a light-medium hammer blow where your next tac-weld will be.
That's what I normally do but I couldn't find a way to keep it symmetrical on that piece so I just left room for warpage. I was just surprised how much it warped. I've never really tried peening welds with a hammer though I'll have to do that.
You are a talented and ingenious young man. Well done
Here i was thinking it would be a simple pin and bush replacement. Insane the work you put into that.
@@nathanwotwot That's what I thought too lol. I learned my lesson.
This was very good content some breakdown, design thoughts, fabrication, machining, and welding and over coming issues.
Awesome video man the way you problem solve is so cool to watch!
Thanks a lot!
Lots of work but probably worth the experience and the satisfaction. Great job!
Thanks!

Oh cool glad to hear I struck a good balance between action and exposition haha.

My thoughts exactly.
A wheel cylinder is good for making thise oesky stiff pins fit a little easier.
Good video Thanks.
Keep the videos coming!
Very good content, very well thought out. Keep it up
House is wobbling side to side quite a bit when you stop the swing. ❤❤❤
Yeah I might look into that. I'm not sure how much play is normal there.

For sure for sure. Thanks.
solid work!
Thanks!
Sad how some folk treat their machines, good to see it brought back into working order...
Nice work
Heck yea
Super cool great movie ! Looks like you haven't pinned the song at 5:28, do you have a name ?
Calvin Harris-josh pan. It should be there now.
Real nice!!
Great video
Thanks.
Creative solutions. ❤❤❤
Nice shop
👍🌟👍

@@AlwaysBored123 I meant showing us how when a person has different videos to ''splice''.

@@AlwaysBored123 thank you.
Think how much money and time they would have saved if only they bothered to grease that machine regularly !!!

I'm suspecting 63 Sierra.

Yeah I should probably at least make a V block to attach to the end of the ram before I do that again. That thing was trying to go all over the place.
