I love the Blue Hammerite, it reminds me of my dad in his garage fiddling with his cars. He had several old toolboxes of the metal folding kind, and when I was about 8 or so I helped him "restore" them because they had got quite rusty. We removed all the rust with Naval Jelly rust converter and painted them with Blue Hammerite. I can still recall the lovey smell the paint made! Somehow Dad had acquired quite a large tin of it (he loved a bargain!) and many tools vices and other things in the garage got painted with what was left of that paint, it even got onto bits of various car engines as he repaired them, all shiny blue Hammerite!
Many years ago at a custom/antique car show there was a 1954 Dodge Power Wagon painted in Hamerite blue that drew a continuous crowd around it all day. The owner did it on a whim but said he was very happy with how it turned out and how well it stood up. It was just amazing to look at! And the judges agreed and he got an award ribbon for it! Up to that time I was not aware that it could be sprayed, but now know better and have found you can buy Hammerite in spray cans.
The blue paint is very nice and that is a beautiful machine. "Built to a standard not a price". That statement speaks volumes.
I believe these Smart and Browns were the equivalent price of a decent detached house in the north of England when they still made them.
They were accurate toolroom quality lathes ,very nice to work with
well done
Hi Keith, Yes your videos are always interesting and informative
Steve
Brilliant Keith, jobs like that can be a nightmare cant they but you sorted it right enough. I also like the blue. I recently refurbished my partners late dads No 3 vice and it looks great in that blue. Good job Keith. Regards from Wales
dont leave it to long before you do the numbers on the dile or you will for get how it all go's again... lolol ps came past yours last week thought about poping in ??? naaaa not yet.. but we will. we had picked up new 7/14 from Perth .. she's beautiful piece.. just like he full size ..Irish mail.
Keith, your shop is an envy for all and looks like it belongs to a 1st class machinist
Hi Keith, thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching and listening. Is the middle oil feed pipe in the optimum position for lubricating all the gears? In its current position, the rear most gears to the right of the oil feed pipe and the sliding gear will all not get much oil when meshing. If the oil feed pipe were relocated to above the largest, rear most gear on the right, oil will cascase down over all the gears under gravity and be transferred to the sliding gear in all positions.
Keith, I saw this before. The joys of a Patreon. Do you like the new painted floor? I bet it is keeping the dust down.
For what it matters, I really like the blue on the lathe
Nice color, I think. That type of lathe will produce very high precision parts.
The smoke means its working, nothing like the smell of cutting fluid!
I'm not sure if Keith is a machinist who rocks or a rocking machinist you decide.
I do have to concur. The blue Hammerite paint looks far better than the light blue, like a baby blue, on a horizontal lathe.
Interesting not green Hammerite which is the second most common color for machine equipment behind grey. When I was still in school taking metal shop all the lathes were green and the mills were grey.
The gearbox deserves a perspex window in place of the data plate so one can see it working whilst in operation!
The smoke is a bit like the imitation smoke that comes out of electric model trains.
What, no paint drying sequences? EDIT: I guess the turning sequences will have to substitute.
⭐😃👍
Fuss and fight and wiggle and jiggle and pry and hammer and pout and fume and swear and throw tantrums for an hour or two trying to assemble some machine components then all at once they slide together effortlessly in a matter of seconds😣😥😖🤬🤢
