Now this is the old Mr Pete I love, casting and machining, making things from conception to final marching is where it’s at! Keep this up buddy this is the stuff we love! Forever fan!
I love ancient technology! I have old tractors converted to 12 volt but still have 2 old tractors with generators and want to keep them that way. I have a brass jaw jacob's chuck. so yes! Some of us may actually do this!
It was great to see you in the foundry again. Guess I missed that. If the slots get too close to then center on the plate, it might break in half, I see the little ones got some reinforcement. Yes, aluminium as they say. Suppose it beats tying the tongue up with alumminummmm.
Morning Mr Pete. What a great video. Another good project for me to work on. This is the kind of things that they do not teach anymore. Thank you. I’m still learning.
Good morning and thanks again for another great video. It brought back some high school memories. I remember rebuilding many starters and generators using the growler turning the commutators and cutting the mica from between the copper. Only we didn’t have a fancy cutter I used a ground and shaped hacksaw blade, I may even have it still hiding in a toolbox drawer, I’ll be sure to look for it. This was all in shop class I was the go to for starter and generator repair. I also worked in a foundry part time after school and made thousands of cores, packed molds and mulled black sand. It was an aluminum shop and remember casting the very first mold for the new Advent big screen tv in the early 70’s. So many cool things to learn as a teenager. Thanks for jogging my memories.
Morning Lyle. Not too corn filled, but when they ask what I'm thankful for this coming week, I'll say, health and family, but I'll be thinking of, Mr. Pete and those who think of their fellow man well enough to document the knowledge of our ancestors so humanity isn't still huddled under a pine tree wondering how to stay safe and warm. Don't worry about current 'views" and "likes.". People will be checking in for years to come to understand our journey from picking lice off each other for snacks and populating the universe. Love you man. Carry on.
Absolutely great video! I really enjoy when you make something great out of scrap in this case pop cans. Thank you again for sharing your skills with us and teaching us along the way. Well time to find some founders tools 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣
A fun project. The 1"x8tpi thread is common on wood lathes. Most commonly wood lathes use a 4-jaw scroll chuck, something to keep in mind if you find yourself having to turn square stock.
Very interesting process to create the aluminum casting - thank you for sharing it. It reminded me of watching a video that I saw years ago where automotive engine pistons were being cast and they had two risers - one on each side of the piston that were eventually cut off - they said that the risers were higher because any impurities in the molten metal would float to the top of the risers making for a stronger piston casting. The 6" Craftsman version lathe my dad purchased came with the faceplate and the 4 jaw chuck but he opted not to purchase the 3 jaw chuck. Back about 1990 I found an unthreaded 3" Bison chuck for sale and purchased it and tried to locate a threaded backing plate to use with it but could not - I needed a 1"-10 TPI which was not very popular back then. I ended up making a steel backing plate from a piece of 1-3/8" diameter round stock and a piece of 1/4" flat steel (cut out with a cutting torch) which I welded together to create backing plate. Cut the 1" - 10 threads in the round stock using the lathe with the piece mounted in the four jaw chuck - took a bit of time but was able to do it with the little lathe. Once that was done I welded the flat plate onto the threaded piece and then threaded the assembly onto the spindle and trued up with the lathe. Turned down a step to match the Bison chuck and drilled the three mounting holes - still have and use the chuck today - has about .0035" runout - the backing plate does not look as pretty as your casting does due to the welding but did the trick for me. Had a look at the Craftsman instructions and parts list that Simpson Sears (Canada) sent with the lathe and it does show a part number of M6-356 for the face plate but it is also a 1"-10 TPI so it would not fit your spindle. Look forward to the second part of the face plate video - Thanks again.
Your foundry videos were how I found your channel over 10 years ago. Good to see you back at the molding bench! Even if you're working with your feet 😂
Between the weather going nuts, elections and ww3 lurking at the horizon, it's so comforting to watch another of Mr Pete's projects! Don't ever stop! Looking forward to the next part as always.
We took the generator from a 58 Pontiac to a guy who is an old time kinda guy, has an ancient sign on his shop says he turns such things. I went in and asked about it and he said he can't get to his lathe it's been so long since anyone asked for that kind of work. I asked what he meant by "can't get to it" and he said see that pile of old weed wackers there? It's under them. Sure enough, he had around 100 weed wackers piled up high, and beneath them you could make out a lathe.
Two things. First of all one of my earlier cars was a 58 Pontiac Chiefton. Secondly, my generator starter man who lives around here is pretty much the same. There is so much junk and debris in the shop. He can hardly work, but he knows where everything is.
Love your videos. Am working on my own Atlas faceplate made from a random large hub that came with my lathe. I had to bore it out and make a slug because the bore of the hub was right at 1.5 inches. A stalled project for the moment.
Durham's to the rescue! I have a can on the shelf, don't use it often, but it is always reliable. Great way to fill in large holes in wood, and it is not expensive. Eager to the the face-plate turned to size.
Excellent video Mr. Pete. It's stuff like this is why I started watching you 10+ years ago. With that said, I don't care to see your feet again Mr. Patel 😂
Looks like a great project. Will I ever do a casting, probably not but I find it interesting how you do and process of getting to the final result. Thanks Mr Pete.
I had absolutely no problem single point internal threading a 1 inch 8 tpi in aluminum on my Craftsman 6" a few years ago. A good tool, using back gears, and different spindle, jack shaft and motor sheaves for an appropriate surface speed.
Recently bought a cast iron 5" faceplate on eBay.. 1.5" x 8TPI for use with my Brown and Sharp clone dividing head for use as a rotary table. I created an acrylic plate that bolts to the face with target rings and crosshairs to make it easier to align materials on for milling radii. It was a lot cheaper than trying to find a decent price on a rotary table. Cost me about one 8th. I'll be able to use it on my lathe as well but will need to make an adapter for it. The down side is that I have to hang onto things when I mill with it since it's a right hand thread and end mills are stubborn about wanting to turn clockwise in order to cut making vulnerable for coming unscrewed which can be a great cause for excitement. I may try to come up with some way of pinning it to the base.
I'll never eat nuts again. Another approach to this project might be a steel weldment?. Would like to hear thoughts on those some day. Looking forward to part II.
I like seeing this kind of videos. i Like anything that you post, but specially when you're making. machine parts or little engines or whatever you happen to be making that day.
looking forward to the commutator video. ive turned a few, but never felt like ive done it right. also hate clearing the mica by hand. i get it done, but interested in seeing what you come up with.
@mrpete222 I have a Stuart Progress casting that I'll probably start in the new year, with a video series. With your permission, I'd like to include a clip from your build videos where you say "Now, none of you are going to build this".
Good morning Lyle, It’s good to see that I’m not the only person with albino feet. These puppies stay in shoes from morning to bedtime. Excellent work and I can’t wait for part two. It’s good to see you making projects. Thinking will keep you young and healthy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Hi-Ya Mr. Pete, I tell folks I sit in the Moon a long time to get my legs white, bare foot sand packing ? For just a very brief moment I figured perhaps you were practicing to stomp grapes for the communion wine used in Holy Communion…… but I soon realized that wasn’t the case at all. I worked at a foundry right outta High School in 1969 , they made & casted parts for Detroit Diesel (their biggest customer) I was Jacket Shifter on on the evening shift. Great job in the winter’s of S Michigan, summers ? not so much. Good to see y’all know how to do that foundry work 👍❤️
@ it’ll be a great view, ya can’t miss with a video about “nuts & bolts” my Dad worked in Adrian Mi at the factory where seats for Willys Jeep was made. He worked in the tool room and had 3 H&K tool box’s full of stuff I inherited after he passed in 1991. Showed me how to read a mic, use a dial caliper etc. He was 1 st to explain to me how a 4 jaw was accurate over 3 jaw …… he also taught me how to weld, and braze etc, drill & tap for thread …. many other things I find useful along with church folks who need something repaired or fixed. I turned 74 in Sept and was reminded again how much I have to learn yet. I was saved Aug 15 1985 over near New Smyrna beach Fla while driving Semi. The Lord sure takes good care of me 😉👍🙏
First few thousand Mustangs, 1964 used generators. By 1965 they switched over to alternators. So, the cutover was in the mid sixties. Of course, some electric motors also have commutators that need to be turned.
Hello Lyle, when I was given the Hercus lathe that I now use, there was no dog plate, so I did exactly what you are doing and cast one out of Aluminium (Aluminum to you).
Was wondering if you could use beer cans for the aluminum? also may be a stupid question, but 6-18 lathe. I assume it is 6" by 18" between centers. I have a Craftman 101 lathe 12-36. Have not been able to find old ads for this
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know about Durham's Putty until I seen it on one of your old videos. As you demonstrated, it stores well and it's always ready to use long after the Epoxy products have gone bad.
Lyle - Came to watch making a dog plate. Stayed for the grape stomping - maybe in Studio G you are making Grappa out of the remains - some Italian heritage? LOL Great video have a good weekend.
Hello Mr Pete Mike Carpenter from Alaska I purchased an atlas lathe with a Mica Undercutter it’s in like new condition with my Atlas 10 inch lathe I’m very excited to see your follow up video. I would like to convert the undercutter into a tool post grinder for my lathe
I have made face plates for my mini-lathe. I created a reusable steel mold to pour molten pop cans into. The mold makes a plate with a shaft protruding out the back of the plate. The entire cast is solid aluminum. I just put the shaft into the lathe's Three jaw chuck and I have a face plate. I don't put slots into the face plate. I drill holes into it and thread the holes and hold my stock onto the face plate with screws or bolts. When a faceplate gets all buggered up with screw holes I just melt it down and pour a new face plate. Question...where do you get that casting sand? Could I make casting sand by mixing river sand ( silt) with dirty used motor oil?
I bought my sand from the high school years ago. I do not know where to buy it now. No do not use River sand. You need clay in the sound. I do not have any videos on that, but I am sure there are some on the TH-cam.

Bare foot ramming. Now thats old school right there! Well done.
I wonder if the sand gave a little wine. 😊
I'm looking forward to the next part. I always enjoy your casting videos!
You should buy his casting course. I forget how many hours it is, but it's awesome!
Good morning! I always like the foundry videos. That was eighth grade shop for me. Thanks for the videos.
Same for me Walter!
Now this is the old Mr Pete I love, casting and machining, making things from conception to final marching is where it’s at! Keep this up buddy this is the stuff we love! Forever fan!
Awesome project.
Looking forward for partB
I love ancient technology! I have old tractors converted to 12 volt but still have 2 old tractors with generators and want to keep them that way. I have a brass jaw jacob's chuck. so yes! Some of us may actually do this!
Both of my tractor still have generators
I love how in foundry work it goes from a drawing to a useable casting. Thanks Mr. Pete!
It was great to see you in the foundry again. Guess I missed that. If the slots get too close to then center on the plate, it might break in half, I see the little ones got some reinforcement. Yes, aluminium as they say. Suppose it beats tying the tongue up with alumminummmm.
Morning Mr Pete. What a great video. Another good project for me to work on. This is the kind of things that they do not teach anymore. Thank you. I’m still learning.
Great! Enjoy watching everything you do.
Nice to see you back out in studio F. Another great project Mr. Pete, thanks for posting.
Greetings from the oldest town in Texas, Nacogdoches. Another great video. Thanks for posting.

I definitely liked watching the process.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸👍

It is interesting to hear about your machining process for the backing plate
Another treat from Mr Pete! Milling machine chips a few weeks ago , and some sorely missed foundry work now. Thanks Mr Pete.
Glad you liked it!
Gotta love foundry work !!! Thanks mr pete !!
I love this - feels just like shop class back in 1972!
😀😀
I never get tired of your casting videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for another great video!
I have NEVER seen a home casting done before. Thanks for an awesome experience!
Love it from a carpenter and joiner 58 years doing wood and metal with an old boxford read south bend lathe in Oxford England 🏴
👍
Your foundry videos were how I found your channel over 10 years ago. Good to see you back at the molding bench! Even if you're working with your feet 😂
1st Period shop with Mr. Pete. My favorite class.
Glad you like it!
So happy to see the foundry up and running. Excellent video.
Between the weather going nuts, elections and ww3 lurking at the horizon, it's so comforting to watch another of Mr Pete's projects! Don't ever stop! Looking forward to the next part as always.
Nice project. This is a great tool for the lathe. Thanks Lyle for sharing.
Thank you Mr Pete
Good morning Mr Pete - refresher on using the dog drive, nice !! John

Excellent video Mr Pete. Would love to see more videos on pattern making. I always enjoy seeing these. Take care. ATB from Nobby in the UK
Great......i hope that you will also show us about making the missing gears for the lathe too.
I am anxious to see part two. Very good video Mr. Pete
I enjoy this journey and enjoyed this episode.
Love your videos. Am working on my own Atlas faceplate made from a random large hub that came with my lathe. I had to bore it out and make a slug because the bore of the hub was right at 1.5 inches. A stalled project for the moment.
Sounds like you have a good start on that project.
My drill press came with a larhe face plate as its table. Note: I was able to buy a face plate for a TH54 from Clausing a few years ago.
Great video MrPete.
You covered quite a bit of information today.
Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks professor, looking forward to the next installment
Nice to see you back in the foundry. - Tony.
Oh, Mr. Pete,
You crack me up! Have you ever thought about winemaking? You are well equipped for treading the grapes 😂.
Thanks for the video 👍👍
If I did that, I would wear baggies over my feet
Durham's to the rescue! I have a can on the shelf, don't use it often, but it is always reliable. Great way to fill in large holes in wood, and it is not expensive. Eager to the the face-plate turned to size.
Studio M.
Basement? No.
Garage? No.
Kitchen? No.
Ya got me.
15:25 My wife just caught me grinning and chuckling with my headphones on.... Should I explain the "cashews" thing or just let it go?
You can tell her, but make sure she’s not eating
Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty seems like the best option for fillets; no harsh chemicals, very long shelf life, easy to mix.
Most excellent! 👌
Excellent video Mr. Pete. It's stuff like this is why I started watching you 10+ years ago. With that said, I don't care to see your feet again Mr. Patel 😂
I don’t blame you. This was a hard video to edit.
Looks like a great project. Will I ever do a casting, probably not but I find it interesting how you do and process of getting to the final result. Thanks Mr Pete.

Great solution
Love the pattern making
Thanks Lyle. I can almost smell the Petronius as you removed the casting.
Love to watch you making stuff. I especially liked the Pakistani technique of raming the sand in your flask!
Thank you very much!
I'll never eat nuts again. Another approach to this project might be a steel weldment?. Would like to hear thoughts on those some day. Looking forward to part II.
☕️ Sat Morning coffee & Mr. Pete. Its gonna be a good day. 👍🏻
You just gave me an idea to make a disc sanding attachment for my Atlas 12” lathe!
I like seeing this kind of videos. i Like anything that you post, but specially when you're making. machine parts or little engines or whatever you happen to be making that day.
looking forward to the commutator video. ive turned a few, but never felt like ive done it right. also hate clearing the mica by hand. i get it done, but interested in seeing what you come up with.
👍👍
I look forward to your project videos for the wealth of knowledge they contain. Maybe someday I'll be a tenth as good as people like you.
I’m sure you are more talented than you think.
@mrpete222 I have a Stuart Progress casting that I'll probably start in the new year, with a video series. With your permission, I'd like to include a clip from your build videos where you say "Now, none of you are going to build this".
Generators were used on ford trucks up until 1966 !
Atlas tool and machine ,also made model trains !
👍👍
More like this please Mr. P.
Nice job on the casting!
Good morning Lyle,
It’s good to see that I’m not the only person with albino feet. These puppies stay in shoes from morning to bedtime. Excellent work and I can’t wait for part two.
It’s good to see you making projects. Thinking will keep you young and healthy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
👍👍
Pete feet!
Thanks Mr Pete.
Reminds me of pickled pigs feet in a jar at the bar. Does anyone remember those?
@ellieprice363 I ate a pickled pigs foot or two when I was a kid.
Hi-Ya Mr. Pete, I tell folks I sit in the Moon a long time to get my legs white, bare foot sand packing ? For just a very brief moment I figured perhaps you were practicing to stomp grapes for the communion wine used in Holy Communion…… but I soon realized that wasn’t the case at all. I worked at a foundry right outta High School in 1969 , they made & casted parts for Detroit Diesel (their biggest customer) I was Jacket Shifter on on the evening shift. Great job in the winter’s of S Michigan, summers ? not so much. Good to see y’all know how to do that foundry work 👍❤️
What a coincidence, I am watching a TH-cam video right this minute where a man is repairing a Detroit diesel engine
@ it’ll be a great view, ya can’t miss with a video about “nuts & bolts” my Dad worked in Adrian Mi at the factory where seats for Willys Jeep was made. He worked in the tool room and had 3 H&K tool box’s full of stuff I inherited after he passed in 1991. Showed me how to read a mic, use a dial caliper etc. He was 1 st to explain to me how a 4 jaw was accurate over 3 jaw …… he also taught me how to weld, and braze etc, drill & tap for thread …. many other things I find useful along with church folks who need something repaired or fixed. I turned 74 in Sept and was reminded again how much I have to learn yet. I was saved Aug 15 1985 over near New Smyrna beach Fla while driving Semi. The Lord sure takes good care of me 😉👍🙏
Can’t wait for part 2
Mr Pete I turned an armature last month. Older electric forklifts. Replaced brushes too
Great Video. Love The Detail You Provide. Next Video Will Be Looked Out For.
👍
First few thousand Mustangs, 1964 used generators. By 1965 they switched over to alternators. So, the cutover was in the mid sixties.
Of course, some electric motors also have commutators that need to be turned.
Good to know
Hello Lyle, when I was given the Hercus lathe that I now use, there was no dog plate, so I did exactly what you are doing and cast one out of Aluminium (Aluminum to you).
😀 great minds think alike
Hi Mr.Pete glad to see you got your hammer we missed you at the Bash. Hope you have wonderful holiday season. From Joshua
Hello Josh
Great Video mr Pete !
Was wondering if you could use beer cans for the aluminum?
also may be a stupid question, but 6-18 lathe. I assume it is 6" by 18" between centers.
I have a Craftman 101 lathe 12-36. Have not been able to find old ads for this
You are so correctly
thanks for sharing . nice to see another pour from you
Nice casting
Nice project!
Thumbs up on the video. Fancy footwork. Would like to see that commutator worked on.
Can't wait.
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know about Durham's Putty until I seen it on one of your old videos. As you demonstrated, it stores well and it's always ready to use long after the Epoxy products have gone bad.
True
Great job. Thank you 😊
Thanks again Mr. Pete for the video I was wondering if you were holding something heavy to help you feet pack the sand. Thanks again.
lol
Lyle - Came to watch making a dog plate. Stayed for the grape stomping - maybe in Studio G you are making Grappa out of the remains - some Italian heritage? LOL Great video have a good weekend.
👍👍
Hello Mr Pete Mike Carpenter from Alaska I purchased an atlas lathe with a Mica Undercutter it’s in like new condition with my Atlas 10 inch lathe I’m very excited to see your follow up video. I would like to convert the undercutter into a tool post grinder for my lathe

Thanks for the information. Great video.@@mrpete222
In Danish, a generator with brushes producing DC is called a dynamo, while an alternator producing AC is called a generator.
Thanks for the clarification
Just a thought, but could you not have machined the fillet into the Delrin, while you were turning it on the lathe?
Certainly, never thought of it
Didn't know you casted aluminum at home. Impressive! What did you use to melt the aluminum?
Lyle, I think I have a few 1"x8 threaded face plates that I can't use if you want one. My spindle is a 1"x 10.
Yes, I would like one thank you
Where did you get the aluminum?
Good Show! Thanks
Nice job
