Please continue to show all those extra little steps. That's where the value is, transferring your knowledge and experience. As they say, the Devil is in the details. Thanks for all you videos.
Mr Pete, you have a full class in your TH-cam shop class and I bet the majority love to hear your side stories and. Different ways of doing things. Or the history of the tool or device. No sir, you can never stop learning and I love your channel. Thank your for time and effort. And as always, this Texan tips his hat to you sir!
There are no wasted words, or time wasted over explaining. You're our TH-cam shop teacher! I'd rather you talk too much than not enough. Thanks for excellent video!
One of the many things I like about your videos is that you discuss in great detail and don't just fast forward through everything like many youtube authors. So many times they just zip thru something and take it for granted that the viewer is following along when they arent. Sometimes it is enjoyable to see the work progress at normal speed. Keep on filming. Lucky for us viewers it is a late spring in the midwest and your confined to the indoors a little longer than more recent years. You been quiet about 3D printing. Did Mrs. Pete commandeer the printer in order to print replacements for all the household items that you have you have "borrowed" over the years and thought she wouldn't miss?
Thank you for watching. And yes it is bitter cold yet this morning. In the high school shop, you could assume nothing. I like to include details, but for some viewers it is repetitious. But then again there is a Constant influx of new viewers. I was playing around with the printer yesterday and have a Siri's coming out on drill press vices. But the 3-D printer is not accepted by my viewers. So I think I will slowly phasing it out
Nice Pete, you have the patience needed to make good craftsmanship. I prefer quality rather than being quick and smart. Thank you for taking the time to show your skills on youtube :)
you are an excellent teacher sir. Thank you for speeding through the repetitive bits and giving enough detail for a beginner to pick up and learn useful tips. Just what I need. Thanks again.
Mr Pete, anyone that tells you you talk too much, was not destined for machining in general. I have thoroughly enjoyed all your vid's (even the one with that poor little bug lol). I'm a very practical and critical thinker and jack of all with no formal qualifications, but none of us see it all right off the bat every time. Thank you for passing on so many of the old tricks. You've taught me a lot!
Arrrgh, when I saw that end of part 2 flash on the screen.But as he says "I'll be back". I just wish I had the tools and equipment to do this kind of work, or better yet was a bit younger. I really enjoy watching this build and look forward to part 3. Thanks for sharing this great project...Ken
Sometimes I’m embarrassed how I overlook the simple things, I never thought of using my drill press as a a press. I always used my Dake or the vise which proved very awkward at times. Thank you sir for the slap on the head , and the aw ha moment. You are never boring and always good for a chuckle or two 😂. Looking forward to the next one 👍 !
I also had to make a backing plate for thin stock turning. I used beech wood - and it worked just fine. It is easier to make compared to aluminum. Lovely video!!!
I don't remember if you taught me, or I saw it somers else, but using a hammer to cut the tape is MASTER level work. I used to struggle mightily with a razor or craft knife, and always had a mess. Since learning the Tubal Cain approved hammer method, I don't suffer or complain as much. Thank you for the reinforcement of this MASTER level technique.
You just keep on yapp'n. That's what I'm (we're) here for :) I think it's great that you explain other options other than what they tell you to do, and that you explain why. I am no good with recipes either :P Great cup by the way.
I always like hearing your detailed explanations MrPete, they are a great benefit to those of us with less experience. You have titled these videos TIPS for a good reason. I would love to build one of those little dynamos but not sure if I could get it done with only a 9in. lathe. Still hoping for a mill. Keep up the great work and see you in part 3.
Very nice little dynamo! It is amazing how tedious it is to make a tiny machine like this. You talked about interchangeability which brings to mind a project I recently worked on. I have been fortunate enough to get TWO very old (1925) Western Electric motors that were part of two theater ventilation fans. I believe they were hand assembled. I had to build new thrust washers for them, and found out that each motor had different dimensions. There were also differences in the wiring routing between the two. Can't wait to see the finished project!
Instant gratification is becoming a way of life in our society."Lord give me patience and I want it right now". The true order is anticipation then gratification.
I think I will order this kit and flank you with one of these. Seems a manageable project for a new aspiring 53 year old machinist. Thus far you have caused me to buy a 12x36 lathe and a bridgeport, might as well tackle this little dude too :) Need to buy a transfer punch set as well, seems the only thing i will be short of.
I clicked your icon here and saw your vid of the hit and miss engine come up. Funny how people of common interests have multiple common interests. I just listed a 7hp hercules for sale yesterday on the FB group for Hit and Miss Engine Collectors :)
Yes, giving you credit for helping bring me in rather than complaining. I have had the lathe for years but the Mill is a great addition. I found a great condition very tight 1974 1.5hp variable.
I found a clapped out Big Joe (!!) Taiwan clone several years ago. I pulled muscles trying to get that thing to work, finally figured it was my first tuition payment, and found a beauty Super Max. Best machine abandonment I ever did. Good work on finding a tight Bridgeport. Most in my neck of the desert have been well abused....
I am closely following this one mrpete. I make scale model internal combustion engines from scratch like the one in my avatar. I have thought many times of making a dynamo or generator for my engines. I have used little DC motors as dynamos before, but I particularly like the realistic generator look of the one you are building.
14:43, Good that a tool was made. I've seen before where ppl close the chuck and use the jaws' tips to push like in an arbor press. The jaws break bc they're not made to support downward force like that. Best that the tool bottoms out in the chuck so the downward force isn't carried by the chuck jaws. I like that the drill press can double as a light arbor press. It's nice to not have to keep one trick ponies around if you don't need 'em.
The layout lines were visible. - An 1/8:wider base on each side would have been nice. - The microphone is great at picking up NOISE! lol - Did you figure out if those were oilite bushings? - I love "Machine Gray" for machines! - Great press of the bearings. - Excellent work and explanations.- See you in part 3.
Hey Mr. Pete, I noticed you had the bosses on the end bell for the brush connector screws aligned horizontally. I wanted mine to be horizontal when I built my PM Research dynamo a couple of years ago. When I assembled and tested it ...no juice! I rotated the contacts 90 degrees to the vertical and it worked perfectly. Then I had to do some creative threading with one of my screw holes. I guess it has to do with the orientation of the magnets?? Anyway enjoying this "build"
I use a chart of mathematical tables which produces equal spaced holes around a circle using the x and y feeds on a mill. Model hex bolts are available from American Model Engineering and others.
You're exactly right about the tap drill size... The max. minor dia. of a 4-40 is actually .094 according to the Machinery's Handbook... If more people would refer to the handbook instead of a tap drill chart, they'd break fewer taps... Particularly, in difficult materials.
Could you skim a light layer of JB Weld onto the rough casting to fill the real bad areas without making it smooth? That way the bad side and the better side would look more uniform without losing the cast texture.
Is there a reason that you did the layout on the top? Seems to me like it would have been easier to do it from the bottom, given that there's already a machined surface.
Thanks for your patience and time you share with us I learn two things with you classes 1st I learn about the machinist skills and 2nd I learn more Inglis with your s videos I had to practices more also my daughter tell me send my homework to you lol Thanks for anything and God bless you and your family
I like to use the drill press to hold my tap for alignment. We've seen you use the endstock to hold your tap on the lathe at times. Is there a reason you didn't use the drill press?
speaking of small model engines, I shipped 2 books your way. including the one we discussed. The other is a bit of a puzzler how it got to where I found it. I am a novice at machining but, I'm a bloodhound when it comes to obscure books. You are free to use my name (in the accompanying note). BTW facinating video as usual.
you and me both. I used to be a rabid antiquarian book collector but had to sell my library one year to afford property tax. What a wonderful world... had not added to it in years since that world is far far too rich for my blood. I found machinist videos about 4 years ago and got hooked. then bought books, tools...more tools, more and more and more tools, a lathe, a drill/mill, grinder, welder, and now spend happy hours making chips :) Would that I had started on this when young. heck I would have loved to take your High School shop class! Dang. just remembered I did not include my email. its pilgrim23 at that Google mail place. Thank You MrPete. I have seen almost ALL your youtube vids.
Considering the shape of the mounting lugs on the casting, I wonder if it wouldn't have made more sense to drill just one hole in the center of each side- instead of two holes(?)

Why did you mark off the mounting holes? I would have thought you would establish a reference in the milling machine and use the DRO to precisely place the holes. You could have spot faced at the same time... 12:20 - you do not need a rotary table to drill four peripheral holes in a milling machine. Simple maths, or the DRO will do it for you... Transfer punching- why not drill them together tapping size, then open up to clearance afterwards. No transfer tools needed. Prevent turning during drilling with a spare tapping drill (acts as a dowel.)
Hello Pete, there's a good chance I might get a reply, because this is shown 4yrs ago. I am Keith from Michigan and have an interest to actually pick up the kit. Would you please send me who carries kits like this. Thanks
@@mrpete222 Thanks Pete, you're correct. I was only looking at the PM kits on steam engines. I didn't scan all of there products. I'm now 65yrs old. 46 years and worked on some big machine cells, like microns, with engine blocks. I bet us could share lots of history together!!! See ya....
As others have said - you just keep talking and we will keep listening. One comment: what you're calling bearings on the end caps,I'm thinking they're bushings as used here. Your thoughts?
I want to retract my statement regarding the bearing versus the bushing comment of mine. I agree they are bearings due to the shaft rotating in them. If the shaft didn't rotate,then I believe they would be bushings.

this channel is great not only for what you do, and how you do it - but because of who you are! thank you, mr. pete!
Thank you very much
I also had to make a backing plate for thin stock turning. I used beech wood - and it worked just fine. It is easier to make compared to aluminum. Lovely video!!!
Good idea, in fact I have done that with maple. But I do have some Beachwood on hand.

Can't wait to see the finished project!
They probably never made any two exactly the same
Seems like that is the case. The two motors I have actually even sound a little different.

Haaa, Mr. Pete is an expensive habit, but a good one. A Bridgeport and a lathe will last a lot longer than frivolous spending on consumable junk.
I clicked your icon here and saw your vid of the hit and miss engine come up. Funny how people of common interests have multiple common interests. I just listed a 7hp hercules for sale yesterday on the FB group for Hit and Miss Engine Collectors :)
Yes, give it a try. It's a rather easy build. Glad to see that you bought the machinery

I use a chart of mathematical tables which produces equal spaced holes around a circle using the x and y feeds on a mill. Model hex bolts are available from American Model Engineering and others.
Yes, that would be a good way to do it
20:00 That's a VERY good idea...you're only gonna get one chance to drill those holes, and it'll look like Hell if they are mis-aligned.
You got that right!
You're exactly right about the tap drill size... The max. minor dia. of a 4-40 is actually .094 according to the Machinery's Handbook... If more people would refer to the handbook instead of a tap drill chart, they'd break fewer taps... Particularly, in difficult materials.
You are so right, thank you
Loving this mrpete... Thanks for sharing sir...
Thanks
Hi Lyle,
Excellent build series. Why not use the end bell as a guide for the tap?
I could have, and sometimes I do
Could you skim a light layer of JB Weld onto the rough casting to fill the real bad areas without making it smooth? That way the bad side and the better side would look more uniform without losing the cast texture.
Yes
I wish i could be your apprentice. Love your work sir.
Thanks
You won't lose me your videos are to interesting
Thanks
Is there a reason that you did the layout on the top? Seems to me like it would have been easier to do it from the bottom, given that there's already a machined surface.
Yes, I wanted to make sure there was room for the drillbit, and to see the exact location on the top side, before I drilled
Mr. Pete, Jimmy D. was on ask this old house again. I would like to see Tubalcain on T.V. That would be cool.
I missed that I hope I get a chance to see it
enjoying this mr pete
