That I enjoyed. Only one bit of advice for your future reference, C Bennis Supplies & Services are worth your looking up, because they supply very good quality oils. I know there is also a clockmaker's supplier who services you are doubtless using. So there will be nothing wrong with the oil you have used. Just that, I use an ISO 22 needle oil with an additive to aid its being cleaned from clothing in washing machines. This is a synthetic oil & is obviously longer lasting than a non-synthetic one. This used on my collection of micrometers. Please do not ask me how I got into having around 40 mics & all the standards to keep them accurate!! I also use their ISO 32 Sewing machine oil as a slide oil because it has fabulous rust prevention properties & I find my Super seven saddle floats on it. Clearly these two oils have got to be kept well away from roller bearings, because they will break them.
Nice to watch another video from You. Here drone flying is the major interest but making a chain tension part for the chain saw is waiting. Interesting and entertaining video. Being a child, several clocks were disassembled but never tampered with their springs. Some kind of instinct told it could be dangerous... About the chuck key. The teacher in metal works had a reputation of being hard. (On guy got thrown up on a 2 meter high cupboard when running the lathe backwards and not reacting on the noise.) The first lesson was just: "Don't ever leave the chuck key in the chuck. Then he pointed out a hole in the opposite wall several meters away, and told it was made by a flying chuck key. For newbies, it was the necessary "order". Maybe I fell back and pointed that out but hopefully in a respectful way. Still try to keep that in mind even as the lathe usually, not always, has a chuck protection not going down, prohibiting starting the lathe.
OI Sunshine, Everyone knows the proper way to wind a spring is to run the chuck in reverse at 500rpm for 3.257 seconds with rubber gloves on and wearing a condom for safety. ARMCHAIR WARRIORS RULE !!!!!!. Best wishes Ade, Mal.
I wouldn’t have thought of using the lathe to help with this chore! Thanks Ade, that’s resourceful. 👍
Grande Ades, interessante la soluzione che hai trovato per avvolgere le molle. Complimenti. Ciao
I built my own spring winder ehich works a treat. The idea of using the lathe was inspirational.Well done Ade.
Very interesting video Ade. I really enjoyed watching your technique setting the spring. Cheers Nobby
Thanks Ade
nice fix....you are back using the engineering tool vice...not the small Vevor vice?

Thanks for the info . I used 3 in 1 for the springs and got mobius 8030 for the pinions but still weighing up options . Cheers Ade
Enjoy that one mate
good to see you back in the shed, nicely done mate

Wow if the spring would have cut the cable tie you could have really gotten cut.
