Me three. If you'd faced it you would have prepared it as a possible faceplate for a future project. Don't ask me what because I'm not clairvoyant but knowing this "hobby" there's always more than one way of doing something. Keith, I do believe your welding's improving. Thanks for the video.
Us four lmao 😏😉😁 that lil run out is only thing could focus on, but again Keith it is your part, your shop and your show 😂 all in all looks great, can't wait to see it in action!
You're absolutely right..... Good afternoon pmsteamrailroading how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
The mike set up sounds pretty good. Thank you. So annoying to us mere mortals, turn your head and the volume of your voice would double or disappear. Hope this fixes that issue. Always hit the like button anyway. It's all good.
Keith, Great Video! I have been one of your subscribers for a few years now but have been too busy for the past 6 months or so to tune in to TH-cam. You got thin! If it was deliberate then congratulations - otherwise I hope you are well!
OK Keith. Give the W series tools and inserts a go. They're brilliant for interrupted cuts. However!... every time you use the plate, it's going to be waving about. For the sake of another two minutes machining you could have faced off the outer side and produced a beautiful looking piece. At some point you may need that outer face to be perpendicular to the machine rotary axis. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Nice design and build. However, knowing how I am, I would have had cut the face to true it up as well. It looks wonky with the face run out to me. But since it isn't my project, if you like it as is, that's all that matters. Thumbs Up!
He said he wanted to keep the current face finish - it looked like it had a nice old-timey patina. Authentic is more important to Keith than irrelevant accuracy.
Your explanations are always great, but this fabrication was on another level. I have a little machine shop experience but figuring how to make this was way beyond me- I just learned a lot.
I would suggest putting a stop drill hole at the end of the cur across the diameter, in use that will be a stressed hinge under cyclic load nice place for a fatigue crack to propagate from. Too late now, but hopefully the amount of use the part gets wont be enough to be an issue.
You're absolutely right......Good evening how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
Another way to make the hole in the plate would be to use a hole saw. You would have a 1/2" thick slug that could come in handy for some future project instead of turning it all into chips.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening nkelly how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
3 drills for 1 hole, a waste of time. If you grind a split point on the 2" drill, it wouldn't even need a pilot hole. Has worked for me and the old German tool maker I apprenticed with.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Bruce how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
I'm betting this "upcoming project" is that fire box or, that pitted locomotive related project that Abom used his shaper on and I think Brian block had a crack at it also
Brian said he could machine that part with no problems, but Keith didn’t give him the chance (yet). I think Keith wants to use that nice looking HBM on it, can’t hardly blame him either. If that doesn’t work than Brian can probably have his way with it.
assume you did this before you got your Vevor weld positioner.... also curious why you didn't turn down the end of the tube a little, bore a hole in the plate for the tube to fit, then weld and bore tube?
Keith, what's the name of the puppy and what breed? The horz. mill is coming along quite well, can't wait to see it in action. PS You should have used your positioner to do the circular welding, and what about a counter weight for clamp ears.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Kate how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
If he thought he would use it as a faceplate, I'm sure he would. Since it only drives the dog, it makes no difference. Sure, it isn't pretty but it doesn't have to be.
@@premierd8988 if you have a point, use real words, not profane references. You may face your own plate when you make one. If you don't like how Keith does his thing, you don't have to watch.
Keith said he wanted to keep the original surface (mill scale) on it, probably to make it harder to form rust. If he ever needs it flat he can make it flat. His show, his machine, his choice.
Thanks for sharing. Need a tool, make a tool, build a project.
You mention a drive dog and a dog walks into the shot…😂
Well, with those ears, the good dog could hear Keith from a mile away...
Was a walk dog.
i would definitely of faced that before boring it ...just because it was annoying me! chuckle
Me too

Good morning Keith! 😊
nice ... (would have to have faced that plate!)
Yeah, he triggered my OCD too. SOOOOO close and yet he backed away.
Thanks for taking the time to post the video
Always a pleasure to watch.
You're absolutely right..... Good afternoon pmsteamrailroading how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
That is a nice job but I was surprised that you didn't face that plate.

Would have been a good job for your new welding turn table
Yeah I thought that was half the point of making the turntable just now.
Kieth, you're looking good buddy. Keep it up and you're and inspiration.
Looks like a good solution to the problem.
Nice work Keith 👍 I like it see you next video 😉
I assume this weld-up was what inspired you to buy a rotating weld positioner :)
Or...did you have it already but didn't it fit?
Drill some circles at the end of your horizontal flex cut so the cylinder doesn't crack from repeated flexing?
Now you can use the machine to "turn between the centers" like a lathe.
Keith, Great Video! I have been one of your subscribers for a few years now but have been too busy for the past 6 months or so to tune in to TH-cam. You got thin! If it was deliberate then congratulations - otherwise I hope you are well!
You're looking in good shape!
Gday from Australia Keith
I would exclude the grub-screw, for if it slips, it would damage the spindle seriously. Rely instead of the clamping-force alone.
wow, you lost so much weight, keep good care of your health!
Hiya Keith
Keith I do believe your welds are looking better and better!
Good morning.
Morning from the UK Keith glad progress is being made up to actual use time, shop dog loojs happy too❤
You're absolutely right..... Good afternoon how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
KEITH, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, PET AND OR TELL ALL HELLO...
It's looking good! I am looking forward to seeing you complete a job with this machine. Thanks for all your work.
Can't wait to see them put to work. In hunagrian we call these drive dogs lathe hearts actually.
Nice job Keith 👴🏻👍
This would've been the perfect project for your new weld positioner. 👍👍
Missing a piece? No problem... I'll just make it.
OK Keith. Give the W series tools and inserts a go. They're brilliant for interrupted cuts.

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
This helped me a lot. I had been pondering how to solve a problem where my drive dogs wouldn't reach over a live center I wanted to use. Thanks Keith!
That tube looks like a piece of Sherman tank barrel.
Nice design and build. However, knowing how I am, I would have had cut the face to true it up as well. It looks wonky with the face run out to me. But since it isn't my project, if you like it as is, that's all that matters. Thumbs Up!

You look amazing Keith!
GREAT planning and execution.
I am wondering why you did not use your new Vevor weld positioner to weld the pipe to the plate.
I was thinking the same thing. The weld positioner would have made welding the pipe to the disk easier.
probably shot before it came.
Do the jaws that came with it open up far enough? He probably hasn't fabbed up any extensions to bolt to the jaw tops.
Was just about to ask the same question. Unless this was filmed before he got it?
Hey bud looking better! Hope heath matters are and have been corrected. The weight loss is a good look for ya as well as a healthy thing!!! Go Keith!
Thank you for sharing. Very nice, always enjoy when you make something new for the machines in your shop. Enjoyed the video.👍

Tell him what you are thinking at the outset of the project, not at the vey very end.

Another fine job Keith, keep up the good work!
This is such a cool and engaging project. Thanks!
Thanks as always for the fantastic detailed video. I just need to find a new place and get a big barn for some big iron!
You're absolutely right......Good evening how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
thank you Keith
ready for work keith!
Most excellent.
Thanks for sharing 👍
The makings of a great joke: "A dog and a drive dog walk into a boring machine shop ..."
I wish I had a dollar for every time he says “it’s not critical”.
Or the New Vintage Machinery drinking game!
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asks about the "Stoker engine"!
Great idea Keith.
Nice work.
This should work very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.

That's super awesome! Your video inspires me a lot.
Good morning Keith. Great piece of tooling for the mill. Thanks for posting.
time to feed it a project.
What's the name of that white coyote sneaking around in the background?
It looks like a real stickybeak.
You're absolutely right..... Good evening nkelly how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
The only question is did the Rotary Welding positioner come before or after this video or was it partly the 'reason' for it 🤣
What do you think??
@@paulcopeland9035 I have a problem, the idea that a tool 'might help' me with a some job in the future is excuse enough so I am not going to judge 😁
If you use a 3/8 th drill for the first hole, you can easily follow it up with a 2” drill and skip the others.
3 drills for 1 hole, a waste of time. If you grind a split point on the 2" drill, it wouldn't even need a pilot hole. Has worked for me and the old German tool maker I apprenticed with.
Why do you guys care? This is not your time, nor your project. I don't think anyone cares how the drilling "experts" feel it should be done.
@@paulcopeland9035Its knowledge, and it matters.
Great journey thoroughly enjoyed it. Best wishes...
As always well done. Could surely be used on a mini lathe too. Inspiring!
Another interesting video professor
if was makeing the drive plate i would bore the face plate center a little bit biger then weld the plate to the pipe on the iner then re machine it
So......what he did, didn't work?
@@paulcopeland9035 it just the way i would of done it, i over make things
Yes...but it doesn't appear Keith has enough clearance over the ways to chuck the disc... at least not in this lathe
Thanks for the education!
nice stuff
Are you going to use the Horizontal Boring Mill to machine the inside bottom of the Steam Engine Pony Motor?
I am surprised you did not use the Vevor cake rotisserie/turntable to weld it?
Very anxious to see the big boring machine run!
Frank
The videos are not in order.
Magnificent :)
Nice job, Sir!
Looks great. I like the TLAR engineering
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Bruce how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
Face plate most know it by. Face plates have holes and slots. For mounting upon or driving a dog.
@ 1:28 Puppy Dog! 🙂

I bored the cylinders and faced the ends 3 years ago. I have not had any other parts of the stoker engine.
I think the job might be truing the wheels on the giant bandsaw he is restoring for another youtuber.
@@nrml76, I think you might be right! Good one.
assume you did this before you got your Vevor weld positioner.... also curious why you didn't turn down the end of the tube a little, bore a hole in the plate for the tube to fit, then weld and bore tube?
Im surprised you arent using your welding positioner.
Not sure why you didn’t use your welding positioned to weld the plate onto the tubing?
Any update on the Stoker Engine?
How many amps did you use to weld the faceplate?

PS You should have used your positioner to do the circular welding, and what about a counter weight for clamp ears.
If he had the welding positioner at the time of this video, I believe he would have used it!!
Drill a hole in your plate and weld it to a MT 5 center. Finally going to finish that firebox.
What "firebox"? You don't want a fire in the "stoker"!!
@@paulcopeland9035 Ben so long I forgot what it was.
What happened to the new weld Positioner
It wasn't part of the family when this was filmed.
Wgen you go between sinners you need to get out asap. 😂.
I'm guessing this was done before he got the new weld positioner. Would have been a good job for it.
I assume this had a long thought process, "Ok that makes sense but let me think about ... "
If only you had a machine to rotate that part while you were welding it…
DOG!
You're absolutely right..... Good evening Kate how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made
😛😛😛😛❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What is your dog's name?
Every time you use it you'll wonder why you didn't face it.
Dogs ever get chips in their paws?
Keith seems to keep his shop pretty clean but I wonder about that too, with other shops also.
Let me guess. Line boring a cylinder.
push mig never drag
? a new pup. He/she is definitely white.
Round part ... new rotary table ... why not use that Keith???
Think about it!!
Keith CAD = chicken scratch
ffs Keith .... square the face up ..even by your standards its a mile out ..
If he thought he would use it as a faceplate, I'm sure he would. Since it only drives the dog, it makes no difference. Sure, it isn't pretty but it doesn't have to be.
Why the f%*? Not it,s not rocket science to make it at least look decent..but it's Keith's war cry (it's good enough for him..and I guess you too)..🙂
