My latest project is building Cigar Box Guitars although my first three string guitar was made from a cooking pot. It sounds great. I love to restore Dinky toys, antique tin toys and vintage trains. I also love building model boats from scratch the old fashion way. Trying new concept, ideas and inventions. Love making short comedies such as Mr. Perfect for everyone to watch and have a good laugh. Can be seen on RU-vid: RU-vid: Willy D. or Perfect Productions by Willy D Also I enjoy soccer, music, singing, films and travel. My channel is all about sharing my ideas and fun experiences with other people. "Cheers"
I have a newer SA hub - SRF3 - with a dorky plastic cover that attaches to the chainstay and covers the shift chain. Am I asking for trouble from water/debris running without? Asking because all the older ones I've seen have no cover.
In a way your solution is informative but not quite practical. I need to convert my cordless to corded but I don't have an adjustable power supply, and even if I did, doesn't make sense to lug around a large power supply when going to job sites. I need to know how to make this conversion where all the necessary components are integrated into the drill.
Nice job . Would like to pass along a tip I use. I only deal in plastic soldiers, but may help someone. Liquid super glue that takes a little longer to harden then dust it with baking soda . It will instantly harden and you can layer it and file it to shape. No wait time at all.
Nice video. Just got an old Raleigh Sports 3 speed for $75. Learning how to fix and restore this was helpful. My husband has a dremmel so I will try on some of the rusty spots. I found a replacement rear reflector and seat bag. Now on the hunt for a light like this. No idea how it works or attaches but hoping I can figure it out. Does it use a battery? Or how does it light?
This worked great for touch ups on a badly nicked up 73 super course frame. I just poured out a little green and added very tiny amounts of black until it was close. I was surprised how well it matched.
I've contemplated cleaning Vintage Metal Lunchboxes using Car wax compounds. Figured the leftover wax residue 'might' prevent rust from reforming. Also have had some success with the solvent: "GOOF OFF"
You're correct about the fact that there were no rivets as such but just a post that was crushed down to form what looks like a rivet head however you can buy replacement rivets that just need a hole in the post and then glue them in. They look pretty much like the original.
I have a Marx Girard whistling station, that the metal tabs which hold the building to the base are all broken off. Any suggestions as to how to repair or replace them
Hi Willy thanks for this video 😊. I have a 18V 3/8” cordless drill with 1.3 Ah NiCd battery and it’s not working as the battery is dead and not rechargeable. Could you please tell me exact specs for adapter/charger I have to get? I’ve seen your other comments and mentioned a 20A adaptor is good. But can you send us exact specs or any product’s link would be great.
wow....WD40? This means you will later have to disassemble the hub and wash ALL the parts, then reassemble, oil the moving parts using 20W oil, remove, clean and regrease all the bearings, then reassemble the hub, then inject two teaspoons of 20W oil in that hub shell oil port. It would be easier just to disassemble it, clean it, oil and grease and reassemble. You would at least save some WD40.
Good work. But there is a problem. Making 2 or 4 wheels is okay but when we make a whole train bogie than these handmade wheels are no of the exact same Size and hence doesn't fit into the train. Plus the efforts are also little longer. Please find and suggest some method in which we can make wheels with ready to use items (like single hole buttons) Plus suggest to make at least 6 trains of 10 coaches. I mean suggest easy quick method for mass production
the unstable video moving shot was really annoying....the part after you explaining the teory, shifting the gear, and rotating the pedal, why didnt you took your bike on permanent standing and lock into it?
This is really cool. I was interested into sidestepping into this as a hobby from working with wargaming miniatures, but video recorded regarding this are few and far between. Looks like there's a lot of books out there though.
