Something I do frequently is make tools to solve a particular problem. As a result I tend hold the man who solves problems and makes his own tools in high esteem. Them men who mentored me "encouraged" doing so! The stories you have told of your mentors over the years are always interesting. I am sure I am not the only ones who enjoys them. cheers
I’ve watched many of your “projects” , this brake project for Pearl was most satisfying for me. At 74 I’m still re-learning what my Dad tried to teach me 56 yrs ago. Your wisdom is most rewarding. Thank You
Hi Keith, your bit about taking time to work on a project and just think on it really resonated with me. I have a 13" Colchester Master Mk 2 (square head) that I've been working on. Even if I haven't done anything on it in a while, just going out, looking at it, turning the handles, etc keeps it in my mind and makes it so it doesn't feel like the project has stalled, and encourages me when I think about how far I've come. It's always refreshing to be reminded that I'm not the only one who can take a long time to finish a project.
Nice job and beautiful finished part. I have been learning to install rivets, eyelets and snaps on my leather projects. I am not as accomplished as your outcome every time yet but keeping at it. Thanks.
Keith, been watching you for years. If you remember I sent you some BBQ Sauce. Watching you with this build, your a wizard in your applications. What’s the best part of your videos, is that the new or younger machinists watching you and learn the right way of doing things. With your experience you are a wonderful teacher. I’ve learned things from you and I’m greatly thankful. Glad you’re back videoing again. Thanks again.
I've followed a lot of your advice and learned more about machine work from you than anyone else over the years and can't thank you enough for that. The Turn Wright roller kit I put together is one of the most valued tools in my shop. I agree that one needs to be selective in weighing the advise they receive and separating the wheat from the chaff. I voted early as well. Got'er done.
I remember back in May 2019 when I rebuilt my lathe gearbox and getting the spindle bearings preload correct. That was my first time and yes, I kept hands on on all the gears and bearings. It took time but it was fun and now it still runs like new. All the best to ya'.👍
If you drill a tiny hole through the centre of the rivets, it prevents a vacuum forming as the clutch cools sticking it to the mating surface. This is sometimes done to prevent clutches and brakes seizing on.
Nice job, Keith, probably better than the original part . Hope the choice of brake material works well. I have had mixed results with asbestos free materials. On clutches, I had to use more clamp pressure on them with the newer materials. If the clutch slips a glaze occurs fairly quickly, not an issue with an asbestos lining . Hoist brakes on overhead cranes. I had some issues as well. Pearl will be on sweet lathe when she is completed.
This brake assembly should spend one night on your nightstand so you can look at it while falling asleep before you mount it in it’s final resting place!
Thanks for the video Keith nicely done with the brake job ❤❤ it great work 😮 just amazing. Take care of yourself and family and Girlfriend and be Blessed ❤️.
I was thinking about that Epoxy not letting the ring expand evenly! And you came to the same conclusion! And your one-piece hub looks WAY better than the original! Can't wait to see matching those tapers.
I love watching Pearl come together, one piece at a time! The quality of your work is outstanding and a real pleasure to watch. What you said about the way things were made years ago that were still relevant today hit home with me. I volunteer showing visitors around our Heritage Centre in my local town in the UK. The building was built in 1490 from local green oak and is standing as a testament to the craftsmen who built it. Yes, we can still build a similar building today but it is so much easier but not necessarily better. We can still learn from those who came before us. As far as the election is concerned, Get her done!
Hola keith que buen trabajo . Amigo. La herramienta para remachar muy buena . Me recordo cuando con mi tio. Fabricamos un tanque de combustible para. Un auto de carrera. Y lo remachamos todo jaa. Saludos amigo
Totally awesome Keith, loving this series, so much to learn from ‘The Master’ and I mean that most sincerely. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
My dad was a big car guy. I would be out there helping ( ha ha ). I picked up a tap and could not understand what the H that dimple on the end was for. Now I know.
Hi Keith and Lisa 😊, to quote you Keith that awesome, whith an excellent end result. The dog leg riveting tool worked realy well, nice job. And I reckon a good call on not using epoxy, for the reasons you pointed out. Make it Wright would be a good notice to hang on any wall, and should be a mantra for everyone . Thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Lisa, Stuart UK.
Keith there is an aircraft rivet tool for aircraft brakes by Rapco i used on a piper Cherockee. If you made tooling doesn't press and flare evenly, and it cheap less than 50.00 from aircraft spruce. Or ill let you borrow mine if needed. Easiest way they role the ends.
It looks like the hardest part of using your tool would be to hold it perfectly plumb while you strike it. It worked a treat though, nice looking part. Next! Lol
Hi Keith, I have been watching the progress of Pearl from deconstruction to reconstruction. The videos on the rebuiling of the shafts and all the grinding have been very interesting, and the cone drive has also. That machine will be better than new when you finish the rebuild. I was wondering how you were going to rivet the linings on with only a relatively small bore, but you always have something worked out well in advance, the trademark of a skilled craftsman. Using your K&T as a lathe and your reason makes me wonder is the next project perhaps a rebuild or part rebuild of the Clausing to improve its accuracy. The K&T, considering its age, would have been an incredible machine for its time, a lot of machines of that vintage still had change gears, and very limited speeds and maybe only X axis drive. It is no wonder they are still sought after. I agree with your closing statement, I'm in Oz, and this Saturday is our state election and the federal is due later this year, we need change here desperately too, but problem is the quality of many candidates is poor, a common problem globally. I look forward to the next installment on Pearl, Take care and I hope we all see change in the political landscape. Regards Dennis
Why couldn't you have made a short round over tool and weld/braze it to a C clamp? The other end of the clamp would have had a post welded/brazed to it. And I really think Karmala should stop in to say hi. I remembered she said she worked in a machine shop when she was young.
Genius Tool Modding! Also I thought all machining had to have Tolerances - It seems to me "just make it right" is, well, Just Wrong. 🙄(Nothing against Keith - I was referring to the guy who originally said that)
I forgot all about Phil and Pierre. I must've been unsubscribed or something. Gonna have to check them out. Forget the channel name though. I think the last videos I watched was them making those hammers

This episode was really riveting. It is great to see the pieces come together.
To quote the A team, I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks 45-47

Absolutely terrific.The rivet tool was freakily good but tapping the new grub screw was just fantastic.
A lot of aircraft brake linings (pads) are installed using the same type of rivets. Your technique of forming the heads is right on!

Nice work Mr Fenner. Retired self taught mechanist in Australia.
Nice work. Always a pleasure to watch your projects. Thanks for sharing.
Lol , i know who you will be voting for . It will be an interesting result ! Nice job with the brake lining . 👍

This pearl is gonna be better than new looking forward to seeing it done excellent machining skills

I have to go and touch my Bridgeport tomorrow! Its been a couple of days now! I HOPE that the rebuild is less than 8 months from start to finish!

Amigo. La herramienta para remachar muy buena .
Me recordo cuando con mi tio. Fabricamos un tanque de combustible para. Un auto de carrera. Y lo remachamos todo jaa. Saludos amigo
Absolutely process inventive and expert work.
Thanks for showing it Keith.
Olá amigo Keith!!!
Gostei de mais este trabalho,e a ferramenta pra arebitar muito boa a ideia!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
43:37 - You do have the other side available if needed.
48:48 - Really enjoyable project; looking forward to the match-taper machining.
We'll get our ballot Thursday or Friday Washington
My Southbend lathe is December 1941 also. Another bit of history that needs to live. Cheers!
Go vote
Very interesting. Impressive. Nice work sir. I like the plan and tool, punch you have created. It seems to work great
Simply awesome Keith nice job 👍
Very Nice Keith... looks good.
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Totally awesome Keith, loving this series, so much to learn from ‘The Master’ and I mean that most sincerely. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
“That’s a handsome looking brake, right there!”
Awesome discussion,video production,craftsmanship,build,mentoring….I have the same AWESOME hammer from P&P❤
Turned out great.
Another good one Keith ! well detailed and thought out.
Sent my ballet in a few days ago 👍👍
My dad was a big car guy. I would be out there helping ( ha ha ). I picked up a tap and could not understand what the H that dimple on the end was for. Now I know.
That’s a beautiful thing!

Thank you but I got it done even and completely satisfactory to my liking.
Nice job keith.
Love the Trump / Vance memorabilia. Thanks for the very educational video.
Great words to live by whether your making a cheeseburger or a billion dollar rocket " make it right ".
Nice work
Thanks Keith...learned a lot from this video.
Love that your posting videos again. Love the channel
An alternative would be similar to a staking tool made from a pair of Vice grips like we use for doing the front sights for 1911 pistols
It looks like the hardest part of using your tool would be to hold it perfectly plumb while you strike it. It worked a treat though, nice looking part. Next! Lol

Nice rivets tool , has work like expected. Trump for president. Greetings from Germany.
Vote early - Vote often ....
Nice work recreating this assembly. Out of curiosity though, why go with rivets and not small button head bolts?
In my mind brass isn't hard enough to damage the matching taper on the break hub if one let's loose but a bolt would be .but who knows
As you set a rivet it also exspans in the shank removing any room for movement.
@@KeithFenner Thanks, I asked the question while watching and hadn’t known you were electing to not use the epoxy.
Yes use real facts and see the real results and hope to god people use common sense and not what the legacy media is puking out!
Trump 24
Or Trump 2016-2028!
Give me a brake....😉

I forgot all about Phil and Pierre. I must've been unsubscribed or something. Gonna have to check them out. Forget the channel name though. I think the last videos I watched was them making those hammers
Took a minute to find him...Pierre's garage...I was unsubscribed. But, he's only posted two videos in the last 5 years.
