Lots of trouble making this video :( First off I lost almost all the footage from the close up camera then 6 hours of editing trying to make it as good as possible... This is a lot of metal lathe work making a precession hole in a Chrome Steel precision ball... Tough stuff! Also took the PrimeWeld Mig Welder out on a job and played around some...

I saw Watch Wes Work use one of these, he said he made it but didn't go into it. I always wondered how it was made and worked. Thanks!

@MyLilMule 6 месяцев назад

I like Wes's design much better than the original. But I also would have liked to have seen him finish it AND demonstrate how to use it. I even sent him an email asking about it and he never replied.

Have been looking for this video for a few days. First time I have ever been #1 comments! I love your work, hope you get better ❤️ will keep watching. With admiration from Texas. Keep up the work as you can. Don't over do it! I would like to see more.

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

Thanks... I am getting better, just not as strong as I was yet...

1/4-32, 1/4-36, and 1/4-40 have all been used in instrumentation and can drive you nuts. Compare the thread to 10-32, 8-36, and 4-40 screws to get the pitch. My eyes are getting older so I have to use a loupe.

You need to get a cheap metric screw pitch gauge, the brass screws could easily be 6x0.5 or 6x0.75mm pitch. I also have a Whitworth as they come up more often than you would expect (even Honda were using 1/8" Whitworth thread in late 1970's)

@johnlee8231 6 месяцев назад

Like you mentioned earlier it was getting through that chrome layer where all the hardness is that made your tooling sing.

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

IT's a Chrome Steel Ball, not just plated!

glad you mentioned Don, thought he was dead, haven't seen him in age's. 22:34 Nice shoes Steve, you ought to sell advertising space on them😁

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

Have to get bigger shoes for that! Tomorrow I'm headed over to Don's shop to work on the crosses and I'll take some video of the old fart!

@samrodian919 6 месяцев назад

Steve, a 1/4" x 32 would indicate it may be a Whitworth form(55 degree) Model Engineers thread, used here in the UK and elsewhere. I don't think they do it in a 60 degree form, but I'm not sure about that. I bought the other week a 5/16x40 ME HSS tap for around £12 GBP off of eBay, so if you had to buy one it wouldn't be too spiteful a price. Shipping might be expensive though even if it was a postal job in a Jiffy bag.

Making progress!

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

Still a little weak from the c19 but I am making baby steps :)

@randymusselman4504 6 месяцев назад

Steve, Don will need to watch Kurtis if he needs his chip making fix, especially since Karen’s shots of chip roll-off is so cinematic…..he just needs to get that satisfied so he doesn’t defect from watching your videos! Is the ball full fledged bearing quality for use in a ball bearing? Interesting process to bore it despite its hardness! Thank you Randy

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

It is a 1.250" Chrome Steel Precession G25 Ball from www.bcprecision.com

How is the Rock?

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

Rock 2 has 111,680 miles today.... Still have plenty of brake pad life..... Only regular oil changes, three sets of tires, lots of fuel filters NO trips trips a dealer for any issues... About normal for all the last 8 trucks with the exception of the Rock.

Steve, why do you have a bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foamer next to Bob? Do you know some sercet cleaning trick, or are you showering with Bob?

Steve, don't fall into the trap of "shorts" - shorts are dumb - just do long form videos. If I wanted useless "shorts", I'd be on the tweeter or the tok tik (and I am not)

@10swatkins 6 месяцев назад

I have over 400 videos on the channel and 8 of them are shorts! Can't promise there won't be more but they are far between and an effort to get more people to watch.. I put one hell of a lot of effort and time into these videos and not many views make me not want to put out the effort.

@gorak9000 6 месяцев назад

@@10swatkins A lot of channels seem to get stuck at the ~10k subscriber count for a while - but honestly, those are the ones doing the best content! If you stick with it, eventually the algorithm will randomly recommend a video of yours to a bunch of new people, and it will grow big time! Somehow lately, it's been recommending a lot of super small channels to me (like 2k subs) and they have some pretty great videos. I've been subbing to new channels like crazy lately
