What I like the best about you is not that you see a problem, you see a solution. Your ability to machine a solution out of what looks like scrap is a lesson to us all. Think outside the box and just do it. Voila, you did and it worked 👏👏👍😀
Another great video where I learned a lot, thank you very much Michel. Wishing you well with your hospital visit, and keep your mask on when you're chasing the nurses down the corridors!
When faced with difficult problems sometimes you gotta think outside the box, well done 👍😁👍. Glad to see you hitting the shop, especially with a big job like that! Thanks for the share, Michel! Wishing you many hot nurses at the hospital 😉. Cheers!
Greetings from New Jersey USA, great job as usual and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. I hope and pray that everything goes well at the hospital 🙏 Eddie wheels 🧑🏻🦽😜
Hi Rusty, That was a big chunk of metal you turned there nice one and nice looking chuck. Looking forward to seeing the finished chuck. Good luck for the future, Kind regards Mike
Look forward very much to seeing the in operation, Stay well my friend, our friend, we all need more of youre videos and humour!!! Regards Mike and Laine
Hey, nothing wrong with how you mounted the chuck, you did it how you could with what was at hand. I for one appreciate how you do things in your shop and like to get ideas from your work too. That chuck will be very handy for you.
Gday, certainly a great job done, my lathe is the same, I can’t cut the same thread as the spindle, it’s a bugger really, I hope all goes well at the hospital mate, please take care mate, I looking forward to seeing the 4 jaw I action, Cheers Matty
Michel, I have not been getting notified about your uploads and some others . It may be just my computer or maybe You tube. Good to see you again and thank you for taking the time to upload . Cheers from Australia.
Michel I need your assistance. I got my 8 inch round stock but started wondering if machining it while bolted to the current backplate might introduce concentricity issues if the 4 holes for the 4 jaw are not the same concentric as the 3 holes on the current backplate. How did yours turn out? Any issues after you attached it the the 4 jaw? I have a backup idea and need feedback. Screw the current backplate to the lathe, then bolt the new round stock to the back of the 4 jaw and grab the 4 jaw to the old backplate. This way all the machining would be on the new 4 jaw and would in theory avoid any concentricity issues. Your thoughts?
As you can see in the video, I first turned the diameter that regisrers on the smaller (original) backplate. From the moment that is done you can flip the part and work the other side. You can take it off and mount it back again as much as yoy want. It will be repeatable and concentric. I hope this helps.
How nice is it when you bring out the shine in a rusty old piece of metal? The joy I get from watching it turn into a shiny object is most satisfying! Just as a side note when you measures the holes for the chuck to mount to the backing plate you could have used a set of centre punch transfer set as well instead of measuring? I hate mathematics so I will do that as a last resort! Keep up the good work!
Michel good afternoon: yes you will survive with the grace of God he will give you many years of life and in good health have faith my friend: I am also doing medical follow-up due to having smoked for many years now comes the consequences, thankfully I stopped smoking in time, just taking small drugs to recover bad things from God.
Hi Rusty, great to see a video from you. I love recycling old materials too. I like your method for making the backplate adapter. Will you still have access to your three jaw chuck? Cheers, Craig
@@Rustinox I mean mount the chuck directly to that back plate you have in the video. Sure it's smaller than the chuck but I don''t think that's a problem.
Looking good Michel! Nice chuck and don't you love turning a piece of rusty scrap into a finished piece? The lathe is like my motorcycle, as the guy at the shop said, it is only a down payment on the accessories . Cheers and looking forward to seeing you in a few days!
@@Rustinox Very nice collection of comments Much, I am glad to see everyone is wishing you well, and I hope all goes well for you as well, two thumbs up!
Just done a 2 plate kit for a optimum 250 4 jaw, onto a minitor d360.... what a blast..lol.. near completion.. tomorrow just taper to do on quick release mechanism..

It's like a puzzle. You just have to fit the pieces.
Clear and precise way to measure point to point ! Good example of using what’s at your disposal to hold down cost 👍
Thanks. For bolt holes this will do :)
Another great video where I learned a lot, thank you very much Michel. Wishing you well with your hospital visit, and keep your mask on when you're chasing the nurses down the corridors!
Thank you, Glyn. Don't worry, the nurses survived.

Thanks Chris. Thinking out of the box is indeed a big part of the challenge.

Ey up Rustinox! its truly great to see you back in the shop doing a bit! Keep safe brother.
Thanks Roy. I will.
Excellent job, that was alot of work for a small lathe but you made it work. Great job man.
Thanks. It left me a bucket full of chips.
I'm facing the same problem to make a backplate for my new larger chuck. I will follow your example. Thanks for the video
Go for it Gilles. Glad it helped.
I just subscribed to your channel I love your videos your an inspiration to me, thank you sir for all your videos, I pray you get well

Hi Rusty, That was a big chunk of metal you turned there nice one and nice looking chuck. Looking forward to seeing the finished chuck. Good luck for the future, Kind regards Mike
Thanks Mike. One day you will see it in action.
Great work. Good to see you are able to get more workshop time to help with sanity

Take care
Paul,,
Thanks Paul, they will.
and nicely done at that! poppy's workshop says HI
Thanks.
Hey, nothing wrong with how you mounted the chuck, you did it how you could with what was at hand. I for one appreciate how you do things in your shop and like to get ideas from your work too. That chuck will be very handy for you.
Thanks Everett. With a bit of imagination you can do a lot.
Thanks for the great info and video it is a good way to do it that i have never seen. Stay safe
We do with what we have. Don't we?
Awesome adapter for the new chuck! Stay strong!
Thanks.
Your way gets the job done !!!
Have a good day, week , month, what ever . Take care
Thanks. It works, that's what counts to me.
Nice work. You will love having a four jaw chuck. Take care
This one comes from Amazon. 108€ plus shipping. I think it's not too expensive.
Bravo! Very well done! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Yves.
Gday, certainly a great job done, my lathe is the same, I can’t cut the same thread as the spindle, it’s a bugger really, I hope all goes well at the hospital mate, please take care mate, I looking forward to seeing the 4 jaw I action, Cheers Matty
Thanks Matty. You will see it in action one of these days.
Great video, Been following you for some time now - Gluck with your medical procedures!
Thanks Chris. Everything went well.

I didn't change any settings in TH-cam. I told you this channel is a bit bizar.
Good one Rusty . Cheers .
Thanks Max.
Good to see you back Rustinox. Back plates spot on. Let us know what you think of the chuck when you've used it for a while. Tony
Thanks Tony. I will.

I hate maths as well. That's why i prefer using a construction method with the dividers.
Michel good afternoon: yes you will survive with the grace of God he will give you many years of life and in good health have faith my friend: I am also doing medical follow-up due to having smoked for many years now comes the consequences, thankfully I stopped smoking in time, just taking small drugs to recover bad things from God.
And indeed, i survived :-)
@@Rustinox Friend God is with you friend: And may he bless you
Hi Rusty, great to see a video from you. I love recycling old materials too. I like your method for making the backplate adapter. Will you still have access to your three jaw chuck? Cheers, Craig
Yes, easy. Just take out the 3 bolts on the small plate and put the 3 jaw on.
Good job Rusty.. B well!!!
Thanks. I will.
Looks like a machinnest version of Jimmy Page.
Lol :)
Great chuck removal system :) I think I would have mounted the backplate directly onto the chuck without that spacer.
Thgat was my first plan. But my lathe can't make the thread pitch that's on the spindle nose.
@@Rustinox I mean mount the chuck directly to that back plate you have in the video. Sure it's smaller than the chuck but I don''t think that's a problem.
Looking good Michel! Nice chuck and don't you love turning a piece of rusty scrap into a finished piece? The lathe is like my motorcycle, as the guy at the shop said, it is only a down payment on the accessories . Cheers and looking forward to seeing you in a few days!
Thanks How. I always try to use scrap to make useful things out of it.
@@Rustinox Very nice collection of comments Much, I am glad to see everyone is wishing you well, and I hope all goes well for you as well, two thumbs up!
Thanks
Thanks for your time.
I've just discovered you're not well. That's sad to know. Let's trust the doctors do their best to help. Get well soon Michael.
Thanks David. The doctors do a great job. I will be OK.
Good video...thank you
Glad you liked it, Joseph.
Toolmakers always do machine projects to satisfy they're needs. Given the situation with that odd thread, I would have done the same thing!
And it works.
Take it easy on the nurses. Many of us are praying for you.
Thanks Terry. Everyting went well. The nurses are still alive too.
@@Rustinox Great glad to hear that. We prayed for the Nurses too. LOL
Nice.
Thanks.
Very bizarre video. Hope all goes well at the hospital. 😀
Thanks. Everything went well.
Sorry Lathe
No worries Mike. Better lathe than no shape.
Just done a 2 plate kit for a optimum 250 4 jaw, onto a minitor d360.... what a blast..lol.. near completion.. tomorrow just taper to do on quick release mechanism..
Nice. Go for it.
