How to Make Bronze Bushings 

Q: How does an elephant hide in an apple tree? A: He paints his balls red. Q: What is the loudest sound in Africa? A: Giraffes eating apples.

Perfect timming. I have bushings to make and you answered every question. Sometimes I wish there was something bigger and better than the simple thumbs up button.

Bronze looks so beautiful when freshly machined with a high quality finish.

One of the best machining videos on the Tube.

Thanks, nicely narrated.

If only every RU-vid instructional video was produced by someone like you

perfect job so accurate love this

Great video. I like all the additional tips and trick.

Very good video thanks!

I realize this is an older video, but I have to say very informative... Thumbs Up!

Excellent tips, new sub, I like the ruler trick never seen that, there is truth in you learn something new everyday, as long as your willing to that is

Great video! Thanks for sharing all the tips!

Meticulous prep and machining, cheers ! I need to lower the piston-top protrusion-over-deck clearance on a diesel engine by just 0.1 mm (1/10 th of a mm) and am skeptical of machining the piston crown by the same amount to avoid tampering with the piston-bowl geometry ( am in the process of matching a pair of diesels in my boat, which perform quite diferently, all other parts being identical, BUT for the engine with 0.1 mm added piston-top-protrusion). One idea that came to mind is machining new piston wrist-pin bushings with the internal diameter of the bushing off-centered by just 0,1 mm in relation to the centre of the external diameter of the same, taking into account the following data : Piston pin nominal dia. = 37.994 - 38.000 mm Con-rod bushing nominal dia.=38.03 - 38.08 mm Con-rod bushing housing nominal dia. = 41.000-41.016 I would be grateful for your advice on this subject.

Very informative.Thank you

great information 932 bronze hey . im in australia and need to make swing arm bushes for my old CZ 380

Very nice, they're fun to make. 212.00 a foot here in Panama for 1" stock.

Stuart. Did you ever publish the promised video about setting up and using the DRO ?

3:56 "And you really have to do something stupid to get a bad surface finish." Me: Challenge accepted. It seems like all of my surface finishes look like someone used their worn out $10 knife to cut it :D

great video. great channel. what lathe do you have?

If this channel is alive right now. i have in my mind an idea that i need if possible making it like it's act an spacer at the same time it's bushing. I have a problem with my end cups on my mountain bikes. Coz the problem the end cups is already faced on the frame of my bike it didn't have some milliliters allowance to spin the rear wheel of my bike. ( i don't know if you understand this. But I'm trying to explain it very well so please bear with me😅) So i have this idea that if possible can i make a bushing that it's act like a spacer so that it make some allowance to allow to spin my mountainbike freely and it wont facing closely on my frame I hope you can answer me for my idea so i better understand what should i do and hoping some advice what to do from you sir. 😊

Do you calculate temperature when you are measuring like some metals heat up a lot

How do you eat an elephant? ..................... One bite at a time.

Do you have any tricks for doing sintered (oilite type) bushings, without closing off the pores? The only thing I've ever been told is to use deadly sharp HSS, not carbide because of the edge radius smearing the grain structure closed.

What’s grey and comes in pints?

When it comes to machine brass and bronze, I always upside down my tool bit and reverse the.......

What is there purpose ?

What about donkey jokes?

what does a elephant use for a condom? a 55 gallon hefty trash bag

At 5.27... within striking distance.... brilliant. Brilliant video. Subbed. If you have time have a look on my channel. You may find some videos I have interesting. 👍

Why on earth are you using a boring bar as your "regular" cutter lol
