The muffin tin was a stroke of genius, it looks like it was made for that purpose. I am enjoying retirement by working in my shop and catching up on your videos.
Glad to see you are using that "sacrificial" piece of wood when using the band saw. So many people try to make that cut and get their fingers too close to the blade. Life is a heck of a lot easier when using push blogs, sacrificial chunks and the like when using the band saw. Things can happen so fast that you can end with a piece of your finger back in your hand. Also, could you comment as to when and when not to use gloves on angle grinders, belt sanders, and bench grinders. I see a lot of people making mistakes on these tools.
Looks good and solid and should be quiet running. It is amazing how much noise can come from belt guards on certain machines - especially after they get damaged. A friend of mine has a gas powered air compressor and you can hear that belt guard vibrating 1/4 mile away.
This is why I watch your videos. OMG, 0700 AM out in the shop. Over a year ago, I bought a 9 inch South Bend lathe and completely restored it. For some reason, I neglected to re install the belt guard and left it on the bottom shelf, thinking someday I would get to it. Well after hearing your story of seeing the loss of a finger, due to no safety belt, today the belt guard will get installed where it belongs. While I don't another belt guard, I am so looking forward to watching the video. Thanks again for this great video....Ken....Marina CA
Two thumbs up!!! the muffin tin would have been my choice as well, I couldn't help but laugh at "Give it a good "WHACK" and "I was BUSTED" Great videos merpete always looking forward to the next one
Thank you Mr Pete I enjoyed watching you make that guard, it looks a little bit like a coffin, anyway I always like your methodical way you approach jobs and your right about thinking all the time on how to make things and make them better. It can drive you nuts once again look forward to your next video kind regards John from Tasmania
I truly enjoyed your video ones like this where you explain a lot of the things that you do you are not done in the way that you do them. Keep up the good work on the videos and will be looking for your next projects.
Another fantastic video great work on the guard. A few days after watching this I was in a tractor supply store and happened to notice some dust caps for trailer axles there were several types and sizes as well as shapes but I did happen to notice one that had a perfect dome shape to it it was labeled Dust cap 2.72" part #122T the store code is 1075260 It looks to be the perfect shape and size for a future belt guard. I did enjoy the creativity and thinking outside the box that went into your guard as well.
Mr. Pete, looks like 'smokey' is going to have to wait for his treat!!!!! Who cares about the 'Safety Nazi's' let them worry whilst we remember ' Necessity is the mother of invention'. Why no have word with Brad Jacob, he is always painting something 'grey'. Another worthwhile, informative project with lots of laughs. Thanks for sharing. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Hahaha! Mrs tubalcain must surely have a good sense of humor! By this time, I'm sure she watches her kitchen utensils like a hawk. I think the muffin cup looks good. Without some pretty serious dies and a very big press, that's about as good as it gets. If you didn't tell anyone what it was, they would never figure it out. Excellent video as always. Thank you!
NICE ! I like it. An old timer at work use to always jab and tell me when I was welding and fabricating something " Remember- a little paint will cover a multitude of sin". Sure miss old Bill Butterfield. Good video. Ed K. Cleve. Oh.
I like the muffin tin. I did similar once with a cat food can. TIG tacks to hold it, then faired out the joint with bondo (or maybe metal filled epoxy?). Painted it up like a circus wagon and it looked a treat and made the inspectors happy.
Respectable looking guard mrpete. The shaft cover looks great. I bet you get grounded when the wife finds the muffin short 2 pieces. Maybe if you do not like the bolt idea on the top bracket maybe you could just fit a slip over stud in place of it. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
If it was not of the «Patent pending» on the holder I would copy it! Very nice and thanks for showing. I'll come back to see it when I will be ready to make mine. Warm regards
Great job, a lot of great information. The top screw could be replaced with a stud, that way you could hook the guard on the stud to make it easier to install. Also, Paint color has been a big issue in the South Bend Lathe Group. if you have a tractor supply store near you, they can normally match any paint Color that you need. or at least come very close. Keep up the good work.
I was going to suggest spinning a dimpled piece of soft metal to cover the shaft hole in the South Bend guard, but the cupcake method looks pretty good when everything is painted. Plus, you've already got the stock. Back in the '70's, South Bend came out with a fiberglass spindle belt guard kit for the bench lathes. I'll only say that whoever designed it is probably cutting out paper dollies somewhere. Tom
The cup cake tin works. Potted Meat or Vienna Sausage cans would have worked for me also. But the whole time you were talking and working up to your decision, i was thinking a 3" or so OD Tea Strainer. Great video as always. Wish there were auctions down here at the bottom Texas like you get to go to.
That can of potted meat tasted pretty good, with some soda crackers from the mess deck,while under way at 0200 in the early 70's,in the USN, Every body is entitled to there own opion. Keep up the good work on the vidoes .I learn alot
A little off topic; but muffin pans are great for temporary storage/organization of small parts & fasteners. As you take whatever apart, start loading the cups from upper left to lower right (as if reading text). When whatever it is goes back together just go in reverse. Caution... if the muffin tin is dropped/disturbed once loaded you can have a disaster. I have several in my shop, a couple each of 12 hole and 6 hole; they can often had at yard sales for mere pocket change.
Just terrific Mr Pete! Actually I think the muffin tin was just the right touch. It gives the guard that oh-so-great machine deco look. BTW, I'm sure enjoying my LFE subscription. I watched the Bridgeport series straight through and am now working through (and learning a ton from) your foundry series. Thanks for making this such an affordable option! All the best!Bob in Seattle
Mrs tubalcain must be possess the patience of Job. I think the guard color is too light -- it should be several shades darker. However, nicely done and it looks good. Great project and great video. Thanks for sharing this.
I like the muffin tin dome.....has a nice look to it -- the bracket doesn't look all that awful really, it doesn't stand out much at all... great build! - IT's very professional looking.
Mr. Pete, why not tap the upper guard support steel piece and use a wing nut bolt or a knob with a stud? That would make the guard removable without a wrench? Your a smart man, I'm sure you have a good reason for not doing this. Enjoyed both videos.
I like Battleship Gray. Just a little darker than the stuff you used. Good job though. Yes you can make a guard for the flat belt. It doesn't have to cover the whole thing. just enough to keep errant fingers out of it. I have no worries about it because you wouldn't let anyone else operate it without a thorough briefing and supervision. Good video.
Benjamin-Moore makes a near perfect color match for the Logan called Baby Seal Black, product # 2119-30. When I asked for it at the hardware store the sales clerk looked it up and mixed a quart of it while I waited. I don't recall the price -- which is good, if it had been very expensive I would certainly remember. It is a very good match for the original color.
The muffin cup is perfect. Not only is it a funny story, but it looks just like its counterpart on a huge 1940s Monarch lathe of 16 or 18 inch swing. You couldn't have done better. Just tape up the edges of the remains of the muffin pan before your wife slashes her hands on it when reaching blind into the cupboard. I don't want to see a video announcement that she's taken you offline in retaliation for her injuries! And do post the video of Mrs. Tubalcain's Revenge, when she clamps a 20-quart KitchenAid bowl to your Bridgeport table and sets out to make gingerbread in back gear for the whole neighborhood. Please don't name the lathe Cupcake. Please. I hadn't voiced an opinion about doing work off camera, but I was about to discourage it. I'm glad you're doing it on camera again. I know what it looks like, I've seen it before, but I like to see it again--especially the precision machining, but even if it's just the sander or the band saw. I don't care about the length of the videos. I "ditched the dish" because the content degenerated into incessantly repeated garbage. Like others, your videos and others are what I now watch instead. Keep it coming, as long as it's something you want to do. I wish you hadn't shown all those Miller MIG machines, though. I had started looking at some of those this week, and that's feeding my acquisition fever! Wishing for a Millermatic, a spool gun, and a Syncrowave some day. Hope your weather has warmed up. Down south, now two weeks since you filmed, it's in the 70s and 80s. Wonderful.
+Mr. Alan's Mistakin' Acres I need to throw the muffin tin away. I watch less & less tv anymore. I'm the one that acquired most of the millers & a local company VACTOR donated 5 of them. keep watchin
It's the cupcake tin by a landslide. I noticed though that given just a minutes more thought you might have laid out the cut on the cupcake tin so as to include some extra material on each side so as to produced an oval which would have given you room for a larger fastener. All in all though I think you did a great job, and I really enjoyed this video. Thanks
Your wife must be very confused when she finds things like that muffing pan in her cabinet ... And I bet you keep a straight face and ask her "WHAT did you do to that pan?" Fortunately for me, my wife has a bad memory. So when I use the dishwasher to clean up auto parts or the oven to heat plastic, or the kitchen table to assemble a project, she mercifully FORGETS ! However, my 'honey do' list never gets any shorter either, she just adds more and more to it. :-} Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us.
Guard looks fine. Hope that you do not get whacked in the head with what is left of the muffin tin. I have made many trips to The Goodwill Store for bits and pieces for projects over the years. I find the "quality" of materials and design superior to Dollar Stores. Many of the treasures at Goodwill are old enough to have be made in the US during our "well built" era. I think the "off camera" parts add a little mystery. Your videos and commentary are great fun in addition to being instructive. Who needs late night TV comedy shows what we can get Mr. Pete skulking around the kitchen looking for project parts?
I liked the build and as far as time goes machining youtube videos replace tv shows. So you could make your show 30 min to 1 hour long and that would be fine with me. I prefer the real information on the machining youtube shows over 95% of the fantasy shows on tv. You make good videos and have good info in them so please do what you like to do and I will watch. So yes I am one of the people that like to see you do everything on camera but if that is not what you want to do then thats ok i will take what you give. Have a day
I like the cupcake tin, However I would have opened up the hole and inserted it from the back for a more finished look. Great thinking outside the box on this one.
Nice job on the guard. I wonder if you could use a rounded pin in a press to form a piece of sheet metal into the dished guard piece. Or maybe try your hand at spinning to create the center section.
Hi Tubalcain. Excellent video as always. I could imagine you looking through Mrs T's kitchen utensils and getting 'busted' Haha. Anyway, a couple of times you allude to making part of the guard a different way. I'm guessing it might be with the slip rolls you haven't got - OR have you? Perhaps you've already made a video series on how you made some. I'm sure it would get a lot of views, and something that I would be VERY interested to see because I've often thought I would make some one day. Keep up the fabulous work, and I hope Smokey enjoyed the 'despicable' potted meat. Regards Mark in the UK
Just what I need a guard for my Logan.....GREAT VIDEO...only thing I need is a motor now...what type of belt should I use for the motor..flat of v...my larger counter wheel I have is a flat surfaced one.....
Looks really nice. I wonder if the material would have been thick enough to use a mallet like a fabricator would to make a domed piece instead of cutting out the hole for the countershaft pulley?
Great video!!! I have repaired many dial indicators in my younger days, hands were much more steady then. How about a video on the explanation of the British pipe thread. Why does a British pipe thread use an Imperial thread designate?
What type of auctions do you find equipment at? I often check estate sales, county, city, and school district auctions, but I never see mills/lathes (or other basic metal working tools, other than welders)...
The insulator is a piece of rubber tubing on that gun. The copper/brass bent tube ahead of the gun handle that the contact tip, diffuser and nozzle connect to. Welding current passes through this tube and unless insulated it can arc out if it happens to touch and part that is grounded by the machine. I am guessing that this is a Magnum 250L (Classic) gun.
If the top bolt was replaced with a pin, you would have a no-wrench installation. Hook the guard over the pin and then install the knob-screw. If it vibrates, maybe a rubber washer between guard and bracket would solve that.
I had to watch this over as I managed to doze off about 11:00 PM. So I got through it before bedtime this time. I like the cupcake as it is not a tin can. Did you give that potted meat to Smokey the cat?
I love your wit Mr. Pete! Making my living in the welding supply business, please get the insulator on the conductor tube replaced. I will send you one if you need. Do you have a sister by the name of Naamah? Thanks and keep them coming!
I use those cupcake pans for stuff like this too. Managed to get a small stash of rounded end ones, don't think they are for cupcakes, rather that thing you do with chilled chocolate when you make chocolate spheres...or maybe people like half sphere cupcakes, who knows. The metal isn't half bad either.
Oh and you can darken the gray if you use spray can paint. You sprinkle the paint from a distance and it makes it appear darker. Unless you really get close you'll never notice it. Used that trick to blend in a few parts myself. Cheaper than repainting them the correct shade of gray.

Im not sure what others think but i think your cover is fantastic. Even the cupcake cover is so awesome. Great work
Looks good and solid and should be quiet running. It is amazing how much noise can come from belt guards on certain machines - especially after they get damaged. A friend of mine has a gas powered air compressor and you can hear that belt guard vibrating 1/4 mile away.
Looks good Mr.Pete.Remember..a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. Work will always be there,but coffee breaks are gone forever!

I enjoyed both the belt guard videos. I'm an old dog but I still like learning new tricks. Nice Genesis reference also. Great job ! Thanks.
your videos are never too long or have too much content in them !!!! thanks for all you do !!!!!....Eric........
Well done, Mr.Pete and the muffin tin was an elegant solution. Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Pete, looks like 'smokey' is going to have to wait for his treat!!!!! Who cares about the 'Safety Nazi's' let them worry whilst we remember ' Necessity is the mother of invention'.

That was a great video with a few good laughs. very nice work and the cup cake thing looks great.

GREAT JOB MAKING YOUR GUARD, TURNED OUT SO COOL WITH THE CUPCAKES PAN....... CAN'T WAIT TO USE YOUR IDEA SOME TIME. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO M.K.S.

Looks great Mr Pete. Thanks for the efforts.
Thanks Lyle. I need to make a guard for my ancient Walker Turner drill press. Now I know how to do it.
Well done on the paint, looks like something off a battleship!
Great video and guard very important ,I made several guards for the grinding room I worked in,also our town snows have curves with bends like you did
Good job Mr. Pete . I did enjoy the video , it looks good and works very well.

Nice build...some good construction tips!
Of all things, I am most impressed by the forsite to scribe the concentric circles.
I think it looks really good. Great video as usual.

I loved the reference to Genesis 4:22. Keep up the good work, I miss not being a shop!
Nice to watch you make this.
mrpete would you ever consider doing a series on how a manual transmission works ??.. belt guard looks great by the way.. Thanks for sharing sir....

I like Battleship Gray. Just a little darker than the stuff you used.
Good job though. Yes you can make a guard for the flat belt. It doesn't have to cover the whole thing. just enough to keep errant fingers out of it. I have no worries about it because you wouldn't let anyone else operate it without a thorough briefing and supervision. Good video.
Glad to see you paint your work it compliments your craftsmanship. Only 4 muffins for you next baking day.
Benjamin-Moore makes a near perfect color match for the Logan called Baby Seal Black, product # 2119-30.

I don't recall the price -- which is good, if it had been very expensive I would certainly remember. It is a very good match for the original color.
I had a good laugh from your sense of humor. I think the muffin tin looks good and I doubt anyone would know what it is without telling them.
The most amusing video yet....
Cupcake pan was brilliant!
The muffin cup is perfect. Not only is it a funny story, but it looks just like its counterpart on a huge 1940s Monarch lathe of 16 or 18 inch swing. You couldn't have done better. Just tape up the edges of the remains of the muffin pan before your wife slashes her hands on it when reaching blind into the cupboard. I don't want to see a video announcement that she's taken you offline in retaliation for her injuries! And do post the video of Mrs. Tubalcain's Revenge, when she clamps a 20-quart KitchenAid bowl to your Bridgeport table and sets out to make gingerbread in back gear for the whole neighborhood.
Please don't name the lathe Cupcake. Please.
I hadn't voiced an opinion about doing work off camera, but I was about to discourage it. I'm glad you're doing it on camera again. I know what it looks like, I've seen it before, but I like to see it again--especially the precision machining, but even if it's just the sander or the band saw. I don't care about the length of the videos. I "ditched the dish" because the content degenerated into incessantly repeated garbage. Like others, your videos and others are what I now watch instead. Keep it coming, as long as it's something you want to do.
I wish you hadn't shown all those Miller MIG machines, though. I had started looking at some of those this week, and that's feeding my acquisition fever! Wishing for a Millermatic, a spool gun, and a Syncrowave some day.
Hope your weather has warmed up. Down south, now two weeks since you filmed, it's in the 70s and 80s. Wonderful.
+Mr. Alan's Mistakin' Acres I need to throw the muffin tin away.
I watch less & less tv anymore. I'm the one that acquired most of the millers & a local company VACTOR donated 5 of them. keep watchin
It's the cupcake tin by a landslide. I noticed though that given just a minutes more thought you might have laid out the cut on the cupcake tin so as to include some extra material on each side so as to produced an oval which would have given you room for a larger fastener. All in all though I think you did a great job, and I really enjoyed this video. Thanks
A good work whith a nice portion of humor.!✌️
Glad you liked it
Your wife must be very confused when she finds things like that muffing pan in her cabinet ...
And I bet you keep a straight face and ask her "WHAT did you do to that pan?"

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us.
Another great lesson well done. Thanks!
i like the muffin tin, thanks for working though different options.
The cupcake "cup" was perfect, IMO, Mr. Pete. Great job! BTW, don't get me started on OSHA :(
Treetop (the retired tool & die maker)
"Borrowing" that muffin tin was excellent.
Guard looks fine. Hope that you do not get whacked in the head with what is left of the muffin tin. I have made many trips to The Goodwill Store for bits and pieces for projects over the years.

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Blaine Tripp lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Rudy Abdiel yup, been using FlixZone for years myself =)
@Rudy Abdiel Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !
@Blaine Tripp you are welcome :D
I had some paint made up to repaint my Logan lathe. The paint store called the color "Baby Seal Blue". It matched well!
Nice guard , blueberry muffins are my favourite :-)
You have one hell of an understanding wife. She is a Saint!
Yes, she is a saint
I like the cupcake tin, However I would have opened up the hole and inserted it from the back for a more finished look. Great thinking outside the box on this one.

Just what I need a guard for my Logan.....GREAT VIDEO...only thing I need is a motor now...what type of belt should I use for the motor..flat of v...my larger counter wheel I have is a flat surfaced one.....
Outstanding job, the cupcake looks great but you need a tig welder.
That was the best....Thanks, great job
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Mrs. Tubalcain caught you stealing her ladle.
+Poncho likes bacon and a CUTCO at that! I'd wack him with the rollin pin for that too!
Looks like a good job to me!
Very nice bullet guard:)
Looks really nice. I wonder if the material would have been thick enough to use a mallet like a fabricator would to make a domed piece instead of cutting out the hole for the countershaft pulley?
From the preview image I thought we were going to see some home made drawing dies. The re-purposed muffin pan is a pretty clever idea though.
Great video!!! I have repaired many dial indicators in my younger days, hands were much more steady then. How about a video on the explanation of the British pipe thread. Why does a British pipe thread use an Imperial thread designate?

Welding current passes through this tube and unless insulated it can arc out if it happens to touch and part that is grounded by the machine.
I am guessing that this is a Magnum 250L (Classic) gun.
It looks great and gets the job done...what more could you ask for, besides a new muffin pan?? Had to look up Genesis 4:22
Good job ! I'd be more concerned with the gearing belt at face level.. I am still working on ideas for that one..
If the top bolt was replaced with a pin, you would have a no-wrench installation. Hook the guard over the pin and then install the knob-screw.
If it vibrates, maybe a rubber washer between guard and bracket would solve that.
That is Awesome mrpete. I wonder with all your machine collections do you plan to sell any of them in the near future.
I had to watch this over as I managed to doze off about 11:00 PM. So I got through it before bedtime this time. I like the cupcake as it is not a tin can. Did you give that potted meat to Smokey the cat?
Yes
I love your wit Mr. Pete!
Making my living in the welding supply business, please get the insulator on the conductor tube replaced. I will send you one if you need.
Do you have a sister by the name of Naamah?
Thanks and keep them coming!
+hampdentime What unsulator is that? not my sis
Great video, mrpete222. Keep up these fantastic video`s...ps thumbs up for the muffin cup...;-)
Very nice, usually in industry belt guards are painted yellow or orange a requirement of OSHA.
Looks great!
Regarding the color match: You should be able to take an existing painted part (tail stock, etc) to a paint store and get a custom shade mixed.
i think the cup cake is the best of the three it looks good
" I'll put that muffin tin back in the cupboard and she wont notice" LMAO
I use those cupcake pans for stuff like this too. Managed to get a small stash of rounded end ones, don't think they are for cupcakes, rather that thing you do with chilled chocolate when you make chocolate spheres...or maybe people like half sphere cupcakes, who knows.
The metal isn't half bad either.
Oh and you can darken the gray if you use spray can paint. You sprinkle the paint from a distance and it makes it appear darker. Unless you really get close you'll never notice it. Used that trick to blend in a few parts myself. Cheaper than repainting them the correct shade of gray.
When I take something apart I keep the nuts and bolts separated with the muffin pan i should not bother because I always knock the pan on the floor.
Cupcake - Great Idea - Cupcake, Safety First - Hope you Deburred the Cupcake Pan for the Mrs.
