I have to say that is impressive Don. Machining skills are something that is lost more and more every day. It’s great to see you keeping those skills alive.
Come on man!!! Your a awesome mechanic and now you make tools??? Is there anything you aren't capable of??? This is why your channel is AWESOME!!! GREAT JOB!!
I've been using a lathe since I was 9 years old: 72 years. I never, ever put my left arm over the top of the chuck. It's possible to do that sanding, and filing by reversing your hands to have the right arm go over the tail stock which is much much safer, especially when you're wearing long sleeve shirts.
@@donyboy73 Congratulations on the new lathe. You will find it remarkably useful as you gain competence with it. One of the fun things is learning to cut threads. If it's still available, "Screw Cutting in the Lathe" by Martin Cleeve is the best book I ever read on single point threading on a lathe.
Haha Dony, I have always thought you to be a god with small engines and now your lathe skills, But, your welding, not so much 🤣🤣 Sending love from the uk 👍 Bob
@@donyboy73 Just joking with you, it must be strong enough to survive the test! ( on a good day, I can weld wood! 🤣🤣) It must be a lovely feeling to know you are helping people repair machines all around the world, keep it up mate, we all appreciate what you do for us, thank you.
That was mega-cool Don! I've crafted many things over the years, but not that! With that long handle, you should be able to apply some serious torque. Great job, and thanks as always for your awesome work and videos. God bless. Rev. D.
grouse work donny mate it looks lovely plus a good tool there for sure you have now in your workshop and to me it,s a lovely make for sure and people would surely pay good money if they say your creation etc and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🇦🇺 to your area in Canada🍁
I guess you are using a bicycle sprocket as the main component. Considering the long lever arm, can that sprocket take all the torque you could possibly apply on the handle? A failure under heavy load could cause injury...
Hello from the lower 48, I've enjoyed your videos for years, I've been flipping and repairing mowers for awhile, came across a husqvarna gt2254 with a high low gear, customer already replaced the drive belt, never seen belt routing like that before, ( hope you have ) now reverse is 1st, 1st is reverse. Customer now has 3 reverse and one forward gear, I have a printout of drive belt routing, but really doesn't help, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, keep the videos coming.
How do you make the tool to do the ratcheting action? Because it looks like you weld everything together to the point where it would not work but it does. How do get your tool to ratchet. Show me the mechanism that make it ratchet?
Hi, My mother has a really old riding mower. But it runs well. A neighbor had been maintaining it. I went over this spring to get it out of shed for her. and Noticed the blade is shot. I put a breaker bar on the blade nut, and it would not budge. What is your best method for loosening, a blade nut that probably hasn't been removed in 10 years. Thanks.
It's nice that you can use all of those expensive tools that I don't own to make a $20 half inch rachet but why do I care? I can go down the street and buy a 1/2 inch rachet for far less than buying the lathe and the welding equipment.
Very sketchy welding and you NEVER quench welds. For all that effort you could purchase one that has been engineered and tested. I would be wary of using it on high torque situations. Alloy Wheel lut nuts are often at 140 ft lbs and go much higher when they are stuck due to galvanic action. I recently needed a cheater on 24" Johnson Bar to loosen Mower Blade nuts!
You Tube channel ' Austria Sek' did this build Six Years ago without a lathe and showed how to install the socket locking ball bearings all in one video. The video is called " Sprocket Ratchet Wrench". You could have mentioned that fact DonyBoy Boy and given the kid credit for his idea.
Hey Dony are we going into business making these ? Is there anything you can't do ...... better not go down that road you'll break in to an Elvis tune 🫣

thanks for the tips! I've only been using a lathe for two weeks
@@donyboy73You have alot to learn Donny
Coming from a retired machinist of 40+ years

It's a lot harder to weld 3 different metals together

Must’ve been a long Canadian winter. Don’t worry,lawnmower season is just around the corner.
I don’t understand why when you could just buy one, like your videos anyway 👍🏼
it's entertainment and fun!
Great video, but I’m pretty sure the music is from Debbie does Dallas
Interesting video showing that you have true talent. I'll start saving up for a lathe and welding kit.
it's all for fun!
Resourceful! Creative genius on display!

If Henry Ford was alive he would hire you. 🏆🤓👍 great job Dony
Well done! Lathe is nice to have for any project or repair job
Excellent work! Nice homemade ratchet. 👍 Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan
DIY video format is very good. Keep making nice things!
It turned out very nice Dony, always interesting to see home made tools actually work as we plan. 👍
👍👍👍Thanks
Awesome ... it's amazing what we can do with a little bit of know how
Very impressive, like espesially the Long arm.
I guess you are using a bicycle sprocket as the main component. Considering the long lever arm, can that sprocket take all the torque you could possibly apply on the handle? A failure under heavy load could cause injury...
Good job Don. I like it.
Cool, thanks!
Fascinating. I said it before and I'll say it again. I'd love to have a CNC Milling Machine!
Go buy 1

I got bored lol

Hi Dony, d’où provient le premier engrenage que tu nous montre dans la vidéo. Très intéressant, merci !
de Amazon

I gotta say I'm impressed by your skills....but no thanks, I'll just go to Canadian Tire and buy one, lol.
Great piece of fabrication. A signature item indeed. Anodize it.
Great job there young man 👍😎 on this tool
Absolute genius!
Nice job that’s pretty cool the way you made that👍
Awesome video Don, wish i had one of these wrenches. Could have used one the other day when changing out my snow tires. Keep up the great work.
Maybe embed a steel ball and spring to hold the socket in place ?
yes I will
joking right how many have a lathe ?
read video description
Cool 😎
Excellent
Amazing!
Good job but I would lose it with sockets falling off all the time
video coming on how to install the little ball holding the sockets
Please invent a converion kit for Cub Cadet 3x to a 2x
Can't build that here in the U.S. You made it using the metric system. We use Freedom Units.
Wonderful videos, Great Job, nicely done. Would you make more restoration videos of vintage small engines?
I'll see what I cando!
Heirloom tools are bestest. That beats a real Craftsman.
Something a little different from Dony Boy! Good stuff. A few words of commentary would have helped me to appreciate the project a little more.
Make another one using a sprag bearing. No noise when using it.
I did not see the part of how exactly he gets that to turn only one way. Unless it had to do with the internal components already in the bike gear.
Good Video Don , However The Welding Is Not Good. Would Have Been Better Using A TIG Machine
I don’t get it. What does this ratchet do that you can’t do with one you buy?
Welding through bearing races ain't that going to kill it with arcs
i cooled it as shown in video
Toolmaker 👍
Now try some knurling for the handle.
It's nice that you can use all of those expensive tools that I don't own to make a $20 half inch rachet but why do I care? I can go down the street and buy a 1/2 inch rachet for far less than buying the lathe and the welding equipment.
where I live we just go to the store and buy a rachet
same here
