I'm glad you have a nice to-share lathe box, how I can see inside what it is that wondering gears in the box even it over my work. Thank you family Keith. All the best from my family Cambodia 🇰🇭
Thanks Keith for taking us along as you chase the tenths! Just fascinating how many set ups and tooling and measurements are coming together to make Pearl as perfect as can be.
10:29 - The steel shaft has a bit higher thermal expansion rate compared to the case iron housing; a bit loose is not a problem. 27:22 - A rare-earth magnet in a plastic bag helps. Or a couple of them. 28:22 - Pretty sure the jaws will need to be trued for each diameter; the scroll is not likely to be consistent.
Those brake rivets you punched out look like small aircraft brake rivets made by Cleveland or Rapco orderable from Aircraft Spruce. The length of the rivet looks a little longer, Maybe McMaster Carr.
Someone I knew used to complain about those tracks on the sheets in the motel she was a maid. I tried lookin' it up but I don't think nobody was doin' no weldin' in there.
The spindle tapered bearings need to be under a slight preload or the cutting tool will deflect away from the work piece. Lathe spindle tapered roller bearings are usually set to 10 to 14 ounce inches of break away torque. This can be calculated and performed with a worm drive clamp to hold the end of the string wrapped around the shaft and a tiny spring scale or a lever and a weight . So if the smooth part of the spindle is 2.00" you would need 6 or 7 ounces of pull to get the spindle to rotate from a stop. I know you know this but hopefully this spurs you into doing it. My bosses used to yell at me for taking too long. But when it failed and came back. I was not doing it for free. I got to the point I just ignored them and did it the correct way anyway. I had one boss take my tools from my hand to do it himself. I put my tools away and pushed my tool box out into the parking lot. I never went back. I wish employees at Boeing had cajones like I had. I had a new job the next morning.
With you all the way. I walked out on three jobs in my working life with no job to go too, due to how those companies operated. And I was the senior Chief Engineer on site at two of them. You have to stand up for your principles; if they actively go against them, then you need to leave.
I cannot express how much I enjoy watching you work. American craftsmanship at its best. Carry on!
Same here.
Perfect video Keith, The picture on your wall Second To None. I never stop learning something new from you. Thanks again your friend from Ohio.
THANK YOU LISA !!! That was beautiful !!!! It is a very hard song to sing, BRAVO !!!

Thanks Keith. Very Timely lesson, have a chuck I'm about to regrind the jaws on
Your Clausing is such a beautyfull old Lathe
Great series👍🏼 Another way to remove that small bushing is to tap threads in it. Install a bolt, insert the rod and drive it out.😀
Hard to believe your depth of knowledge. Love hearing your chuckle when you think of something that amuses you.
You take such good care of "Pearl" and the REST of the "harem", Kieth ...they are lucky to have you...😏 😅🤣
Olá amigpo Keith trabalho perfeito como sempre!!!Estou aprendendo muito com esta montagem!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
I missed seeing your great looking bike....however, I am glad I saw your instructions on parade!!!😊
Very nice work. Interesting. You give me a lot of ideas. I like your patriotic pride.
Pearl will be better than new.
Thanks, enjoyed the video as always
Thanks Keith.

I'm enjoying this series. I hope to find a 12 CK myself some day.

You are right about the scroll being worn more at different diameters. It is pretty beat at 60 + years old.

Tubular rivets, and I do get those from Mc Master..

I'd be careful around cutting anything off that friction ring, it's probably asbestos.
Great picture in the background
God bless you and your family Keith. Pearl will be better than new, if she is ready. I hope Trump wins. Greetings from Germany
Trump 2024 God bless you and your family Keith 🙏🙏✝✝✝✝
