Dom and John episodes ! WOO HOO ! It’s Sunday night and TH-cam notifications tell me Dom is at it again with John . Good times Cheers from California 😊
It has been an absolute hoot these last weeks, with all the suspence, excitement and comedy when keeping track with diifferent processes of Tally Hos capstain and Doms adventures with Ranalah and all the ancient tools. I am already dredding the day when Tally Ho finishes and Dom finds out that he has done all the weird things under the sky, what are we going to watch then?😅
The new seat foam is way better looking the old one looked deflated and uncomfortable to sit on. Loved how the key slot is made I always wondered how that was done.
Great progress Dom and John. The bike seat looks just right and better than that it should feel ten times better on your rear end too! With the broaching, you didn't show it but you must lubricate the back of the broach every time with the successively thicker shims, there is an enormous amount of pressure on the back of the broach even more than on the teeth because of the area involved. You may have say three or four teeth engaged in the slot, but the shim or in the case of the first push through, is fully engaged area wise all the time and needs as much lubrication help it can get. Also the arbor press need to have at least the two back floor mountings bolted to the floor. I'd suggest you put it somewhere where you can bolt it down with a removable hold down system that you can take it out and have the floor space available without threaded studs sticking up out of the floor. I know it's just a set up to prove proof of concept, but if you are going to make all the axles and such on your lathe, you have shown yourself doing the turning with an indexable turning tool, try running the lathe spindle at higher revs to see if you can improve the surface finish of your part, as carbide likes to run fast. On CNC machines, the spindles can reach ridiculously high revolutions. It looks as if you were using ordinary mild steel for your parts, well MS doesn't turn very nicely anyway, on the parts for the genuine half sized models use the same steel as you have specified for the full sized ones.
I remember broaching keyways when i was an apprentice engineer back in the day. Sometimes, i had to grind a tool up and cut the keyway while the job was still in the lathe. Good old days.
@@alanclarke4646 It's been such a very long time since I've heard it, it evoked old memories, hence the "giggle". I'm in my mid 70's..... and a Fitter/Turner/Machinist by trade.
Dom I would happily watch videos of you and Wendy, with some of that great music you use, and a little Honest John visit - I dont' care what you do, I love it all. more please and thank you! Cheers from the US. :) Also the seat looks amazing!
Great session, Dom - always great when John pops over too. I had always wondered why broach cutters go from skinnier to wider. Doh! So obvious once you explained it…🤦♂️
Love the Tiger, I had one when I lived in Malawi ,Cent Africa, I found it by accident stuffed behind a shed at a country club I worked at in the 80's. We removed the shed and lo and behold there is a tiger, took some fettling but not by me but a bunch of "bush" mechanics. The thing I remember most about it was my mate had a Honda 550/4 at the time and my bike was always on the road and his was always getting fettled.
How in the world you figure all the Ranalah parts out is amazing to me and fun to watch as you make your way through. Got my husband to sub so you’re a bit closer to 100k👍👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼
I just yesterday received my stickers yesterday. What a top job Dom, the enveloppe and adress-sticker, just top notch. Quality I never see anymore. Stickers itself are beautiful too. Very well done!!
In awe, learning a lot, 2 comments take a tip from the Egyptians, get a longer bar, or a tube to slip on the bar Would have been good to have seen the lathe work, the finish could have been better. 🤭 When you slid 2 pieces together you could hear the rasp. I’m not attempting to sugest, but, machine over size, spring cut and then polish with fine emery to size. Standing by for a slap😊. Cheers Noel
Ranalah stickers ordered. I've never heard or seen a broach cutter - fascinating. As ever, great to see more progress, well done. Just a thought - how about an episode where you visit Jon's workshop and he gets to enthuse about one of his projects? Just an excuse to try and get you back in Essex really!
My first job in 1986 involved using an arbor press to push a round bar through a hole in a starter solenoid body and widen it by about 0.5 mm. Having done that myself - I fully appreciate how much strength you two just used. 💚🐇🐴💚
I love watching you two working together, however Wendy supervising is the best. She was watching John like a hawk when he was fixing the rear light 😂😂😂
Never knew how keyways were made, broaching eh, nice one 👍😎. Another great video fellas, thank you. (seat looks better Dom, but still don't like it mate😂🤣)
Yes broaching is hard work but very satisfying. You really need a better way to keep the mechanincial advantage on the press so it's less of a struggle. I'd also make sure the broach is fixed to the arbor because you don't want it slipping off and breaking ! The last job I did was to make a chainwheel with a positive key i.e. I had to remove the bulk of the material to allow the keywayed shaft through. It was to replace a broken ( and now obsolete ) chain drive in a thicknesser which is now back working again 😎
Really interesting episode, never witnessed broaching before. Fascinating that you are prototyping all the tooling for the Ranalah. Keep up this excellent project
Hi Dom & John. Well done with the new parts made Dom & the seat for the bike look`s realy good. The new press works well & does a good finnish. take care.
Dom, you will be fine branching with it. manual hydraulic press, it doesn't need an arbor press. An electrically driven hydraulic press would be an issue and could lead to damaged broaches. I use my arbor press for small broaches up to 5mm, then the 10-ton manual hydraulic press for any bigger than that as they are such hard work with the arbor press at that size
Great video, I think the format with updates on all projects works really well. Nice to see John finally get a go on the bike - did he have to fix the lights before you let him, ha-ha.
Dom, The card may have an issue where it can be restored or repaired still... The computer not seeing or ecognizing it is likely a sign of corrupted data or formatting. In Windows or Linux at least you can get the disk manager or disks programs up and running, and those programs can usually see usb attached storage in spite of issues. Right click on the likely target, it will usually say unformatted or have a generic name saying the size of the card to help identify storage card. Look for a disk repair option in the pop up menu after right clicking. Chances are it can be restored partially or fully to restore access. In case card is going bad, just use it as a backup for less critical or current info. It should hold data well but not be tolerant of frequent usage...
We've had corrupted memory cards too (Neil's camera) lost everything. Really rubbish. Not surprised you nearly cried. And yes, you should be very proud of yourself. You're MAKING the parts not just ordering them. (Neil echoed from my left "yes you should be proud"! Sticker order number 2 coming up.
Well done Dom. You are doing brilliantly! p.s. You might like to try putting your "please subscribe" note at the beginning of the video so that everyone sees it
Suggest that if your camera has an external link cable, rather than remove the card, connect with thw cable to a pc/mac, whatever you use and download directly... entirely possible for failure of cards to occur just with removing and then inserting into another slot.....Then after downloading, always save to a separate backup drive as well.
Great video Dom. Well done on making the new parts yourself, just a pity some of the footage was lost. I did wonder if you were going to do the keyway on the mill, hadn't even considered a proper broaching tool.
When it comes to SD cards and USB flash drives, they generally use pretty bad chips to get the low cost we all want. There are quality ones available at far higher prices which are probably justifiable in your situation. I've also heard many stories of Amazon workers routinely mixing up counterfeits with real products so I only buy these from reputable computer stores. And definitely not Ebay either.
Nice to see the Tiger roaring again. So the tailight is in series with the headlight not parallel? Wish I had the pocket depth to have a mini Ranalah shipped to Canada. Really enjoy your channel. And collaboration with Jon.
Oh dear, I hope that doesn’t mean your time with Steve in Clevedon wasn’t on that card!? I’d definitely be looking to start a practice of copying the footage onto a laptop at the end of every day. Or after a particularly important bit of filming. We have a saying in IT “if it’s not backed up, it never existed” Lovely episode as always Dom.
Absolutely brilliant and fascinating. i always wondered how they cut a keyway, Dom. Come on peeps if ya watching this and not subscribed yet its well worth it ❤
you may find the files are still there , worth trying a PC if you are mac or Mac if you are PC i have had that great videos good luck keep up the good work
Soo..... You've got that press to keep the 'Retired Engineers' happy, then (or as happy as these people get..!!)....!?!? .... nice shade of green, Dom........
Brake light & headlight. If the switches have previously been used on incandescent lamps (high current) or are old, dirty or both then there can be issues with LEDs. My Brother had a similar problem when he updated the instrument cluster on his Ducati. The contact resistance has to be very low for the low current of the LED to pass the switch. But when feeding your incandescent headlight then the total current is high and the power passes the bad contact.
Probs in your case the bad contact could be in the magneto itself, maybe the brake light would work without the headlight if you temporarily fit a battery!!
Hey Dom ! Half Size ? That puzzles me as surely its a quarter size. If it's half the height and half the width that equals a quarter. Imagine a cake 300 x 300 ---- if you half the height and half the width you get a quarter of a cake 150 x 150. Is the small Ranalah half the weight of the full size ?
Really appreciate these videos, so interesting with all the projects going on. Maybe something like a Canon R7 as it can record 4K video to dual cards so there is always a backup for an upgrade.
It's possible to recover data on an SD card. I had the same happen to me and I sent the card off to the manufacturer and they recovered all the photos and video. It can be done at home but there are a good number of branded SD card companies that can help recover what you think maybe lost.
Good broach, Don and John.🎉🎉🎉
I just love to watch how you make things, I have no idea about half of the machinery you use but I so enjoy watching you can do with them👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sunday wouldn't be the same without my 'fix' from you Dom. I love every episode. 🙂🙂
Same - love every one
Dom and John episodes ! WOO HOO ! It’s Sunday night and TH-cam notifications tell me Dom is at it again with John . Good times
Cheers from California 😊
I AM NEW TO CHANNEL BUT I HAVE WATCHED YOU ON BBC NOW I CAN SAY YOUR CHANNEL BEST EVER THANKS FOR TRUE ESSEX DOWN TO EARTH ATTITUDE
I’m glad you’ve found us! Thank you for the support

I am glad that you broached that subject!
**groan**

Great progress Dom . . . the bike looks superb with the refurbished seat.
So much better isn’t it! Thank you

Brilliant ! Never seen broaching done before.
Same! Haha glad you enjoyed it thank you
I really can't believe how involved building the Ranalah is and it's been an incredibly interesting journey so far.
"All the Gear, and No Idea"... That's a keeper. Thanks for the giggle. Well done guys.
You haven't heard that one before? It's very old.

Thank you I appreciate it

Dom , get some silencers on that Triumph and make it sound like one
You’ll need ear plugs riding that any distance
Love your videos
I’ve never heard of “broaching” Dom!!
Absolutely fascinating & how clever!!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was informative
Machining and broaching a keyway was something I always found incredibly satisfying. Kudos Dom, you are doing amazing work.
Great video. Thanks, Dom. Ooo, I long for you to get back on to your Porsche.
Panels have been ordered! I’m gathering bits in the background!
Really enjoyed that Dom. I've gently mocked your naff music in the past but today's selection was spot on. Bike sound great as well.
Another great episode well done guys
Hi Dom. It was lovely to see a Ranalagh wheeling machine in the background at an episode of The Repair Shop, Brilliant. ☺
There is one in the background in dorms domain
What a great job Dom i love to see how these things work.
Thanks 👍
Very Interesting episode!The seat is 100% better Dom.
Always good to see John in the shop.
Always!

Let’s go 100K. You deserve that nice plaque.

Great job you two, a big learning curve 👍👍.
Thanks 👍
Nice one Dom - your winning!
We are so close now!
Good old Mr Woodruff. Very enjoyable and I'm learning too.

The Triumph has a great look and sound. Off to Bicester Scramble 😎👍
Hopefully!
Nice proper old school 😊

Hi Dom . I think Jay Leno has 5.5mmillion subscribers !!!!!!! That was hard work indeed but it all worked out very nicely Thanks Guy s
Ordered my stickers and learnt a new word ‘Broaching’😁😁
Thank you! I’ll get them out to you as soon as I can
Really interesting episode, never witnessed broaching before. Fascinating that you are prototyping all the tooling for the Ranalah. Keep up this excellent project
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Dom & John. Well done with the new parts made Dom & the seat for the bike look`s realy good.
The new press works well & does a good finnish. take care.
Run a chamfer preferably before tapping, or after to clean and tidy up the screw entry.
Terrific job lads. I am tempted to convert my hydraulic press to cut key ways, the manual press looks like hard work!!!
Good to have Wendy back.
Stickers arrived yesterday, absolutely fantastic quality. Even the envelope is a work of art! 👍🏽
As with anything valuable, always have it saved (immediately after finishing the job) in at least two different places, Dom.
Ask me how I know! 😆
lovely channel ... waiting for the porsche
I really like longer videos. Nice video
Brilliant work boys.

Always good to get a cameo appearance from Wendy!
Glad to be one of your 'not quite 100k' subs! We're working towards 200 (not 200k...) 😅
Fascinating and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks guys ❤
Great video Dom. Well done on making the new parts yourself, just a pity some of the footage was lost. I did wonder if you were going to do the keyway on the mill, hadn't even considered a proper broaching tool.
A bacon and egg roll, a cup of Earl Grey and Dom's waffling on. What better way is there to spend a Monday lunchtime.
That bearing retainer looks decent. Might have to get some of that myself for some bronze bushings I have on my power hammer.
It’s worked a treat! Good old Wurth.. let them know you saw it on my video!

Lovely episode as always Dom.
No that is safe! It’s in next weeks episode!
Absolutely brilliant and fascinating. i always wondered how they cut a keyway, Dom. Come on peeps if ya watching this and not subscribed yet its well worth it ❤
Just ordered a set of stickers. Great video boy’ and Wendy.
Thanks, Mr
Chinea
I'm still here and still enjoying your videos.
I don’t think I will get a Ranalah in my 10’x8’ workshop but I have ordered my stickers!!
Thank you, you could squeeze in a half wheel! Haha
Lovely to Hear the Triumph running. My Tiger 750 should be running by spring time :) Enjoy. PS* Broaching a keyway always makes me nervous !!!
I was informed adding steam from a steam cleaner will make old dunlopillo and similar foam flexible again
Fantastis work there Dom. Really proud of you. See you next week
you may find the files are still there , worth trying a PC if you are mac or Mac if you are PC i have had that great videos good luck keep up the good work
Great job
I'm chuffed with myself"....well-earned, Dom!!
That Bates seat is more suited for the Triumph rigid or sprung hub. The underside of the pillion contour will follow the rear mudguard.
You and honestjon_ must feel Triumphant!
🎵 BA DUM TSS 🎵
You have to give it up to the people who pioneered machine tooling., British industrial revolution
Soo..... You've got that press to keep the 'Retired Engineers' happy, then (or as happy as these people get..!!)....!?!?
.... nice shade of green, Dom........
Haha exactly, and they now say I could have used the hydraulic press!!! Nightmare, Atleast I have a new tool though.. thanks for the support
Pull the broach towards you as you start to lessen the chances of a tapered hole.

use some saphir renovatuer on that saddle will feed it and make it less brittle. keep up the good work
Just a comment for the algorithm. Best wishes.
Thank you!
Love you Dom...but please, please, plesae bring back the Porshce 356!
I'm a bit jealous of such a cool motorbike.

Hey, Dom, my husband said to check a small switch on your SD card and you should be able to get the footage you wanted. Fans from Mississippi, USA
C'mon, 100,000 :)
Brilliant thank you for this video great work
