THE BOAT: Scow Bow Mini-Cruiser. 14’ long (4.25M,) with a 6’ beam (1.8M,) and a draft of 2’6” (0.77M.) She features twin keels and a Ljungström rig. Every design decision is made to keep her simple, strong, and watertight.
In this episode I repair an old orbital sander that is stopping spinning when I press it onto the project. I find that a seized bearing is the culprit.

You should get a job as an old sander fixer guy! I recently purchased a new DeWalt orbital sander because when I moved to Thailand to teach, I sold all of my tools. One of those tools was a very well used DeWalt OS that had lived a very rough life working at my Marina's up and down the Treasure Coast of Florida for about 15 years...and seeing me through the rebuilding of two of my own boats as well as being a dockmaster at a sailing school...tough little, indespensable machines if a person takes care of them.

@tomlogan2102 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for not just throwing your sander away. I love fixing things. My wife and friends give me a hard time about it but it just makes me feel good. It’s fun to see someone else do it too. A little 90 weight oil in that bearing would probably last longer than the WD-40, but you’re gonna be getting a new bearing one of these days anyway, so not to worry. I think they’re about seven dollars on eBay or Amazon.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Hah, yep, I think most people will just throw stuff away. I try to at least make an attempt to fix stuff first.

@SvenYrvindExlex 5 месяцев назад

That was very clever done. some commentors advised gearing greese sounds like a good idea. I do not do that kind of work myself.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍

@ra_weir 5 месяцев назад

I would recommend a synthetic grease like harbor freight’s Super Lube, it’s dielectric and should be fine with both metal and plastic contact.

@rickpawl 5 месяцев назад

I was thinking that some brake cleaner would’ve gotten that gunk completely out of there a lot easier. WD-40 is more a water displacement fluid than a cleaner or lubricant, but you used what you had on hand and it seems to have worked. Yay! 😊

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Good tips, thanks! I'll get some grease in there.

@rickpawl 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat That’s probably what the “gunk” was, dirty old grease. 😉

@Monkeywrenchmotorcycles 5 месяцев назад

WD40 isn’t a lubricant, it’s more of a penetrating oil. I would take it back apart and lube the bearing. I like moly dry film lubricant like “Dri Slide bike aid cable lubricant”

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Thank you, will do!

@Garryck-1 5 месяцев назад

Agreed... WD40 residue is actually a gunk-magnet. As anyone who repairs car door locks will tell you, it loves collecting dirt and dust. If left at the point shown in this video, it will collect dust at an alarming rate. I'd suggest; after flushing out the gunk with WD40, wash (or soak) the bearing thoroughly with some acetone to dissolve the WD40 residue, allow a few minutes for all the acetone to evaporate, then lubricate the bearing properly as described above by @Monkeywrenchmotorcycles.

@randomtraveler3363 5 месяцев назад

In these days where people tend to throw things away and get a new one, it's nice to see you fix this and not add to the world's garbage pile. Well done.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! If it was an electrical issue I'd probably be at a loss, but this was a relatively easy fix.

@Vincent_fast_Stop 5 месяцев назад

You should put some grease in the bearing.

I've been binge watching all your videos and I'm all caught up now. At this point, I cant wait to see you finish the boat and watch you cross an ocean. This video was a tease do to not reading the title.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! I'm always amazed when someone tells me they binged all my episodes.

@markgallagher1376 5 месяцев назад

Glad you fixed it instead of tossing it. It’s amazing what people will throw away when it just needs a little maintenance. I was using an angle grinder to sand fiberglass during a boat rebuild. After 10s of hours of sanding it started acting up. I took the brushes out and the brush holders were packed with dust. Cleaned it out and used that grinder for years afterwards.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Very good. I intended to check the motor brushes too, but I couldn't get the screw to turn for the cover over it. The sander seems to work great now, though.

@markgallagher1376 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat I thought maybe your sander was brushless since there isn’t an easy way to access them. Then again maybe they make them that way now so people will just throw them away and buy a new one. lol.

@212caboose 5 месяцев назад

There's a PN on the bearing- just pop out the old one and put a new (or better) one in... I hope you at least re-packed the old bearing with grease before final assembly

@bake162 5 месяцев назад

Exactly

Hope you put some grease back in that bearing. Otherwise it won't last much longer.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Thanks I didn't know at the time but I will add some.

@bobcornwell403 5 месяцев назад

No bearing grease? I'd clean the bearings up then re- grease them. Back when I rebuilt alternators for a living, I used to have to re-use some of the bigger bearings. I cleaned them up and then packed them with new grease.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I didn't really know WD40 isn't enough. I'll add some bearing grease 😅.

@tellore1 5 месяцев назад

@kiwisailor80 5 месяцев назад

This is great because I have exactly the same problem with my rigid sander. By the way your boat is coming along nicely I really like your project

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

@PineappleAdrift 5 месяцев назад

Good on you for saving it from the bin for a few more years! 👍

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

@ibolg6686 5 месяцев назад

WD40 is suitable for washing ball bearings and removing foreign bodies. However, it has practically no lubricating effect. It would have been absolutely necessary to fill the ball bearing with a little grease after washing. If this is not done, there is a risk of bearing damage in the near future.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info, I'll open it up again and add grease.

@tonysutton6559 5 месяцев назад

I love it when I can take something apart and fix it instead of having to throw it away and buy a new one. Did you you put some lithium grease in the bearings after you had finished cleaning them as WD40 is not recommended as a long term lubricant ?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

My first time working on a bearing so I didn't know about that, but I'll take it apart and add some grease.

@tonysutton6559 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat It would be worth taking some grease with you on your adventures when you launch the boat. You should ask your viewers what is best for use at sea, I don't know as 95% or more of my sailing is done in fresh water.

@Garryck-1 5 месяцев назад

*"WD40 is not recommended as a long term lubricant"* Actually, WD40 is not recommended as a lubricant AT ALL. It is well known as being a dust/dirt magnet. Just ask anyone who repairs car door locks. They hate WD40, because lots of idiots use it to "lubricate" door locks. It's pretty much the worst thing you can do to the lock. Ditto for padlocks that live outdoors. It FUBARs them.

@johngrant1337 5 месяцев назад

good video WD 40 is not a lube or oil it for water removing (WD 40 does sale some lubes and oils( label as so ))

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

I was surprised to see people writing that, but WD-40 says that is a myth. "Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product's formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal."

@Garryck-1 5 месяцев назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat - What a company claims, and results out in the real world where the keel hits the water, are not always the same thing. People who work with the stuff as part of their job overwhelmingly and unanimously tell others; "Don't use WD40 as lubricant. The lubricating effect is short-lived at best, and the residue causes more problems than it solves, if you don't wash it off. Over time, the residue becomes a VERY sticky dust-magnet." And oddly enough, bearings and dust *do not* get along... Inside the guts of a sander, doubly so.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I get it. It's a lubricant but a better cleaner than a lubricant. I will add some bearing grease to it.

Not sure why you would throw away a perfectly good tool for the sake of a little maintenance, the throw away attitude is one of the reasons the rubbish tips around the planet are getting over used, all of these tools are mainly made from plastic, plastic is made from oil.
