Thanks for the green "eyeshade" while welding - I know I won't get "arc-eye" from a video, but it does make it more comfortable to watch. As always, attention to the little things make your channel stand out above everyone else.
Absolutely agree. I really appreciate it too, my eyes are super sensitive to bright light and when people start welding unfiltered in videos, it's very unpleasant. So a warning or a "filter" like here, is much appreciated!
i also meant to say that for awhile now! i mostly watch these at night because the process is extremely comforting, and the welding parts always used to be my least favourite haha - thanks a lot to my mechanics for being so considerate ❤️
I've been a professional draftsman for over 18 years now, and have called out run-out specs in GD&T per engineer's direction. Until now I have never seen that actually managed from a machinist's standpoint. Just so used to that being validated by the QE in the metrology labs. Love ALL of your videos by the way! Cheers from the US!
After missing one step (not truing up the second gear) I'm not so sure that finished product would have passed QC. It's going to make for a pretty noisy set of change gears.
@@uralmash07 Sure :) Because there is run out on the second gear he cut, the teeth won't be be perpendicular to the axis of the shaft so for some portion of each rotation the gear won't mesh properly which will increase the backlash in the gear set. It will be noisy to begin with but also they will wear unevenly, getting worse over time.
I've worked with guys like you over fifty years, mechanic, machinist, welder, electronics tech, blacksmith. Good drawings make it simple to do a good job, and good communication makes for quality work. I did electronics in the Marines, and dealt with high end metrology there, as well as in metal. I always liked to have the engineers and draftsmen in the shop, it helps all see the full process, the corners that have to be got around. Semper Fi, John McClain
@@BloopTube I've seen most machining processes in my career, but not for run-out. I'm not a machinist so I don't get out to the machine shop very much to see everything the machinist does to make the part. Some places I've worked at the tooling shop isn't even on site.
Grounding through the vise screw is a great way to either get poor welds because of the grease on the screw preventing a good connection or to ruin a screw or nut due to secondary arcing.. Fine if it's a $20 Chinese vise, but a bad thing on an expensive or antique vise.. If you are welding in a vise vs a fixture, clamp to the body or jaw of vise. Our shop vise actually had a tab on the side of the body for a grounding clamp.
@@mymechanicsinsights It's really great seeing how well you take constructive criticism! You seriously are the best Mechanist TH-camr out there. Cheers from Germany!
i was going to say the same exact thing, ive done this too welding small tabs and stuff and finding out it was grounding issues, after clamping it to the table or piece it was nice coin stacks
@That was my thought as well. As soon as I saw and heard the arc I knew it wasn’t grounded properly. Also while I knew about the issues with secondary arcing in the screw/nut I hadn’t thought about the grease being an issue so thanks for increasing my knowledge.
There were a bunch of satellites in orbit in the 2010s whose gyroscope wheels failed prematurely. The first one was unusual, but when more and more happened the odds of it being random bad luck were basically zero. Turns out that the metal bearings were repeatedly exposed to several megavolts of static charge (it's not really possible to ground anything in orbit), and over time the micro-arcing caused tiny fragments to flake off inside the bearing housing, eventually leading to total seizure. Newer satellites all use non-metallic bearings.
The welding mask screen effect is a really neat idea that I don't think I have seen anyone else on TH-cam do before. I like it. I can genuinely see some people having issue with the arc being too bright on some of these new really bright displays.
After watching your videos for past year or so, I was completely prepared to see you meticulously machine all the teeth on these gears. Still never a disappointment. Keep up the great content!
I'm so in awe of your work and so many of your skills that, as an experienced welder myself, it's oddly comforting to see your less-than-pretty welds in between all the other amazing things you do.
@@mymechanicsinsights I too enjoy the fact that you weld about as well as I do, but if we get better at it, it would take less time, use less resources, and require less material removal for clean-up.
You made me understand thoroughly the principle of a gearbox. "Spinning levers" as they call them. I have worked as a machine technician for a few years and until now that I see your video I completely understand the concept. Your video was helpful beyond its intents. Danke vielmals!
I watch a few other “restoration type” channels but you set the standard! Most of the others now seem a little crude by comparison. I really enjoy your work! Thank you!!
It is so satisfying seeing your projects. Thanks, MM, for all that you share. You just proved the old saw that a lathe can build a lathe. 🤣 Can't wait for the next one.
I love how you make custom parts for your tools, to do more custom restorations! Especially at the end where you demo it, and all the things you're doing come together!
I wonder if all these people telling you all the mistakes you made have ever made anything as good as what you created? I doubt it! Keep up the great work mam!
Another masterpiece from My Mechanics. Your skills are un-matched on TH-cam. Only thing missing is a full "shop-tour" video including any display you might have of previous projects. Cant wait for your next video!
I always think, how do you make being SO precise look so easy? The math in my head trying to make sure everything lines up where you want it is mind boggling. Great job.
At some point I would really like to see your CV so to speak. Where did you go to school? Do you hold multiple degrees/certifications? What got you into machining? Is this a family tradition or something you became interested in? I am not a machinist but you have really opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that a good machinist can provide. We take for granted the simple things such as nuts, bolts and rivets. We take for granted the products we see and use everyday, not realizing the skill required to fabricate such things. It is truly impressive to me- maybe not so much to other machinists, but my perspective is that of the average person. I enjoy every video and always ready to watch the next. Thank you!
Watching you work is like meditation for me. I dont really understand what you are doing so I can switch my brain off and enjoy watching the things the magic metal man makes!
When I first saw the two gears I was hoping to see your first attempt at friction welding :( Still amazing work as usual! Looking forward to the next restoration vid
@@volbla I remember seeing MM planning to equip his lathe with a brake for the spindle. Every friction welding video I saw had the lathe spindle braking instantly once the welding was done.
I didn't understand at first how the broach works, had to google another video and only then I realized. Your works and videos are amazing, but I think sometimes there are parts that you cut off to reduce the lenght of the video, and some of us (like me) who don't have so much knowledge but still enjoy to watch you, miss how things works. It's just a little and positive criticism, just to help us learn and enjoy all what you do to achieve the results that we love. Cheers!
I don't know how to precisely describe it, but your great machinists on the web (you, ToT, Abom79, Stefan, Peter from Edge Precision) or other awesome maker such as Made in Poland have introduced a new mindset to my life. That is the mindset of if you don't have something then find a way to build it and you can freaking build anything, not scrap-ly but precisely and you can still take the pride in that homebrew thingie. Don't know why but it enlarged my horizon a lot, like a loooooot :)))
Wahnsinn, Deine Arbeiten! So eine Präzision findet man nirgendwo mehr auf der Welt. Handwerker wie Du, sind ausgestorben! Du bist ein lebendes Fossil! Würde gerne meine Kinder zu Dir in die Lehre schicken!!
I was literally just watching this channel bc I was waiting for something new. Quick welding tip: the speed should be to where it sounds like frying bacon or eggs and should have a steady sound.
An excellent answer to an unusual problem. I enjoyed your presentation and the topic. My only concern would be if the weld heating could change the harness of the gear teeth. causing early wear. Well impressed with how you approached this job. Thank you for sharing.
We never used the welding technology for this type of gear configuration. We always made the hub and then shank the gear onto the hubs respective ends. This gives a much better coaxial tolerance. Great video👍
@@mymechanicsinsights Make the hole 0,05 of a millimetre smaller that the diameter that you want to shrink onto. Turn the hub's respective ends so that there's a small register where the gear can stop against, about 1-2 millimetre under the major hub diameter. In this way, when you heat the gear and mount it on the hub, the gear will register in the correct position. Heat the gear to dull red. This well give time to mount the gear properly. Once mounted there's no way of removing the gear again. You can also use a tolerance table to fined the optimal diameter from shrinkage but, I have found that 0.05 is very effective.Looking forward to your next video🔩⚙🔧🛠
I’ve been watching your highly skilled work for awhile now, and I have to say the same amount of perfection is put into your video production. Simply a pleasure to admire both art forms. Do you keep a list of each projects actual time in hours it takes to restore or make the items you build? If so would love to see it in each video description. Thank you again.
Superb to watch as ever, but I'm ashamed to say I have no idea what you were doing. Thanks again for taking the time to produce another fascinating insight into your skills.
I had to watch your video at least 5 times before I really began to absorb the (forgive me), genius that it took to accomplish what you did. I'm sure that there are many machinists who think NBD, but not for me! You must spend quite a bit of time making measurements and drawing what you were trying to create. Kudos, and excellent work! 🙏💪🤟🤙
I agree with most of what you just said EXCEPT for what other Machinist would say. Any good Machinist that watches this guy work, knows they have just watched a very good machinist doing great work. The stuff he shows us is done in a way to allow him to film and that makes it different then the way he would do this stuff off camera.
@@dozerboy67 I dont even remember why or when i found this channel. All i know is , i was instantly hooked by this guys abilities to rework things. I watched a few videos of him simply restoring things and was impressed. I think it was a few videos i watched before i really began to see what he is capable of, wow! This guy is on a completely different level of restore mode.
Video request. You’re the only guy I trust to do this request correctly. We need to know which method to use to eliminate rust and which conditions to use the method in. Can you do that?
Thank you for the green filter when you wield metal!! It's was the most mvp move, especially when you see your videos from the smartphone. My sincerest thanks my mechanics, keep going :D
One heck of a weld that was. It left a pretty nice and bold double-hamon after clearing out the excess, lol. Thanks for the video. PS maybe you might consider doing something like this more often where you’re showing some of the more tedious things needed for using the mill/lathe etc. like the necessary math and such for the settings, as well as other things one must go through prior, during and after using such machines. Well, it’s mostly Greek to a lot of us, including me, but that’s part of why it’s interesting. Just a thought.
Nicely done MM! So many critics below, but you did all the appropriate things for this odd ball, one off, BST gear set, imho. Makes me wonder what you are going to use it on and how many you'll make for this investment...but can't wait for whatever it is. ~¿@ I would imagine a 1 pc. cluster gear like this would cost a mint! I know I'd hate hobbing 98 teeth and all the setups @¿@ ...always appreciate your thinking out of the box and fine work!! Thanks Much and wishing you a safe and Happy New Year! ~PJ
Мне очень понравилось как один из комментаторов написал - пока я смотрю ваши видео, мир кажется мне нормальным. Это точно подмечено! И конечно, работа безупречна и никаких sharp edges.) Здоровья и вдохновения!
@@mymechanicsinsights You are most welcome. It's amazing channels like yours that have inspired me to start my own. I'd love it if you had a chance to check mine out and give me some pointers.
I find your videos fascinating, and this one was no exception. I can’t wait to see your next creation, thanks for sharing your time and skills with the rest of the world!
I would have turned a much deeper v and arc welded it with aluminum washers to protect gears from splatter. Weld, wire wheel or grind, weld another layer, rinse repeat. Arc welds depending on rods, are softer stronger welds. Mig welding thick stuff requires expensive machines, special wire and gas. See cutting edge engineering. That said waiting on next restoration project. I loved the scooter where you made the wheels and stuff that was so cool.
Thanks for the green "eyeshade" while welding - I know I won't get "arc-eye" from a video, but it does make it more comfortable to watch. As always, attention to the little things make your channel stand out above everyone else.

Could you please show how the auto darkening filter is done. Many thanks
Good weld filming pratice. That way we can see the work, and not just a blow out white picture and a few sparks nearby

I know I'd hate hobbing 98 teeth and all the setups @¿@ ...always appreciate your thinking out of the box and fine work!! Thanks Much and wishing you a safe and Happy New Year! ~PJ
Thank you very much :-)
Мне очень понравилось как один из комментаторов написал - пока я смотрю ваши видео, мир кажется мне нормальным. Это точно подмечено! И конечно, работа безупречна и никаких sharp edges.) Здоровья и вдохновения!
Superb engineering as usual 👍
Formidable work as always!
Super awesome 👏 presentation 👍
Thanks :-)
I have never been so lost... No clue about what you did... 😆😆😆
Anyhow, it is always a pleasure to watch.
I can see a special project coming up if you needed 26tpi threads hmmmm. Very cool mate loved seeing you solve this one!
Thank you very much :-)
wow nice job bro you are a smart man ❤
looks great! can't wait for whatever you do next!
Another great video!
I think peak mymechanics will be when the lathe starts to wear out and so you use it to “make a new one”. One day maybe!
Its a great job....congrats!
You certainly have some very amazing skills.
I wish I was at least half as good as you are.
Fantastic job,
Thank you very much :-)
@@mymechanicsinsights You are most welcome. It's amazing channels like yours that have inspired me to start my own. I'd love it if you had a chance to check mine out and give me some pointers.
I love how you used the lathe to make a part or the lathe.
I find your videos fascinating, and this one was no exception. I can’t wait to see your next creation, thanks for sharing your time and skills with the rest of the world!
Beautiful work👍
Really impressive! Great job!
Many thanks :-)
I would have turned a much deeper v and arc welded it with aluminum washers to protect gears from splatter. Weld, wire wheel or grind, weld another layer, rinse repeat. Arc welds depending on rods, are softer stronger welds. Mig welding thick stuff requires expensive machines, special wire and gas. See cutting edge engineering.
That said waiting on next restoration project. I loved the scooter where you made the wheels and stuff that was so cool.
Good luck. Hope that weld holds
Will do for sure :-)
