Greetings David, the 'safety boots' are only just starting to harden up after a chilly winter, your one of very few who appreciate them, most are disgusted.
Thanks Rick, the animations are indeed a time consuming endeavor, the fish and the linkages were fairly easy models to build but rigging them for animation was a different story. Finally working out how to do it jumped me up a level though, next project I'll be faster and better.
Re David London and "Love those safety boots" Being from Australia I respect, no like, stuff it all, Damn admire a bloke that can wear Asian safety boots with impunity and still have ten toes. Well no safety shoes. really. Cheers to you. Steve.
It’s probably useful to be optimistic and to have a good temper when dealing with oldies. Fortunately, you do not lack of both. We enjoy your videos a lot!!!
I will watch closely. “Here in a couple of years.” Awesome. Your presentation is unique as usual and strangely, very instructive rather than destructive. Lol. I smiled at your choice of work boots (Aussie skin). Priceless. Great work Maestro. 👍🏻🙏🏽😷🦘
Thanks Richard, I probably shouldn't be setting such a bad example on a public platform for workshop safety. Luckily we have only a small audience so I can get away with it provided I don't hurt myself.
Awesome job!! The diagrams and explanation of the 4 wheel drive is excellent!! I was wondering how it worked. Amazing how the shaft twisted instead of breaking.
Thanks Cory, building the animations helped me work out how it all goes. It can only work with the housing in place and so you can't then see what's really going on. Took me a while. I really don't know how that shaft didn't break either.
Your perseverance is inspirational, Gav! But not to the extent that I ever intend to tackle such a project myself -- or even a small fraction of such a project. That said, continued wishes for you to achieve the necessary combination of luck and success.
You always pop up with a new episode whilst I'm away, so when I get home I'm always extra glad to be home to watch your latest efforts. Bloody awesome as always.
It's getting harder to find Wilms and Krikkit down at the workshop nowadays, can't work out why they'd want to be anywhere else. I'll double my efforts to get them involved.
Well Mr Foreman,I think you’re handling the deep water quite well,if you keep on the way you are,I’m sure you will have a gearbox and Transfer that work as well as any of these ever did,good job👌🙂
Thanks Richard! Those parts are expensive, I reckon it wouldn't be much more to have bought a recon new one. Waiting on my 2nd purchase of 3rd gear which I hope is not another pricey piece of junk that doesn't fit like the initial product. The cost of sending stuff back to the UK nearly outweighs the refund so I have a nice collection of over priced paper weights.
Super flash video Mr Foreman, you should really have a couple of hundred subs by rights and be earning serious beer and biscuit money for your contributions.
The transferbox may not allow you to be In low range two wheel drive. But if you have free wheeling hubs you can free wheel them giving you Low range 2 wheel drive for pavement low speed manoeuvrbility, backing up etc
Oh dear!!!, NOnonoNOOOOoooo!!! Not the afeared megamonster fish-thingy of the deep!. That is just too two scary. BTW have you guys 'put the foot down abit' on the intro-wonders?.
Greetings Mr Brettoner, the fishy thing of the deep was Wilms idea, one I couldn't pass up. As she got to fight giant scorpions in one of the American West films I get to fight the fish. Well, more accurately, get eaten by it.
Loved it 😊. The sound effects in your opening credits were hilarious 😂 You’re getting some nice tools - whitworth is the king of sizes 👑, nice punches too. Can I ask what brand your circlip pliers are? (They look good) I had the devil of a job with that circlip on the transfer box output shaft.
Those circlip pliers are from Craftsman, but don't be fooled by sneaky editing. They are good pliers but really not much use against these monsters and 'your devil of a time' was my experience also.
I had a series 3 swb when I was young and stuffed many a rear axle when I was learning what a Landy could and could not do. I put a twist in one axle that was so neat, I thought that was how they come! Love your work but it has got me wondering “what bit of machinery is the centre of a landrover, and so what do you start reassembling the car around”, - gearbox, handbrake or transfer case?
Greetings Mark, I pondered your question for some time about the center of the car, what is it built around. As no one component works without another, my answer is the unseen and unprovable, it's spirit!
Greetings Duncan, the animations were indeed our work, they were an easy model to build but the rigging for animation was a tough one because the pivot point changes depending if the locking peg is in or out and the springs are also drivers. In the end parenting constraints saved the day though the springs had to be animated separately as I didn't have the skills to successfully incorperate them into the rig.
