    The coolest garage on TH-cam! Should turn the the showroom into a B-N-B! Just get the guests out of there before business hours and run them down to Tim Horton's for breakfast!

    Glad you can use the items. Have a great 2024! Loved seeing the Babbitt bearing work. There’s a guy in our truck club, BC Pioneer Truck Society, that does Babbitt work, but have only seen his equipment. I haven’t seen it in action. He is also a member of the Model A club.

    Another informative and entertaining episode, gentlemen. Only thing that would've made it even better would be synced up screen shots of Paul's gifts. Can't really make them out from camera position in front of counter, close-ups would be great.

    So cool to see that truck, I'm about 20 miles from Cadillac MI. Looks like you would catch those pedals with the heel of your boot. A good friend restored a Neopoletan truck made in Traverse City MI which is also 20 miles away. I'm working on a 23 Durant Star coupe made in Flint MI. so we once were the car capital, every town it seems built a vehicle of some sort. Love the machining videos, being a machinist all my life. Happy New Year.

    I truly enjoy you guys sharing the old school tools, especially the hand tools. It would make an interesting video (to me) showing the tools being used. Like filming as your using them and how they work. Maybe short segments of how they're used and a few short segments edited together to make a video. I enjoy you fellas showing the tools youve found and the things viewer send you. Just a thought.

    Great to see the vintage equipment in service. Just as exceptional is watching the skill set to operate them. In keeping with the equipment theme could you do a specific shop tour of your other equipment that you occasionally give a peek of but no specific view or detail. I have looked back through your videos and have yet to find anything. Something on your metal fab equipment would be great,

  • @huntdowse9727

    How do you set the support arms to insure the cutting bar is centered on the bore!

    • @huntdowse9727
      @huntdowse9727 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Jim just showed us how!

    • @myrlstone8904
      @myrlstone8904 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The engine block is positioned and clamped fast using the boring bar’s center with its supporting arms as a center reference for all of the main bearing bore cuts. This will insure that all bearing bores will be in near perfect alignment, and this allows one to set a center location which will give proper timing gear tooth clearance.
      The support arms’ centers are not adjustable, they can only be slid side to side with no change of the boring bar center.

  • @stephanieluigon5192
    @stephanieluigon5192 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Is/was the process and the machinery not actually named "align bore"? I think "line bore" was just a corruption of the real nature of the process and the machine itself. Phonetically, the two words are nearly identical, but, for instance, no one would take their car to a shop to have the front end "lined"
