Here is my Giant Pucket board. I show you how to play and how to make the game. I use fancy tools but suggest ways to do it without them too.
Vintage saw mill - From logs to usable timber

The first step in any woodworking project is turning trees into useable timber, so I headed home for the day to mill some timber in our vintage sawmill. It's going to be turned into bench seats for my wedding.

Naboo Starcaster (Star Wars) Guitar Stand Build
Просмотров 1173 года назад
Join me as I build a stand for my custom 3D printed star wars themed guitar the Naboo Starcaster.
What are the seals called that you installed around 17.30/17.35 minutes? I have an old laycock 1551 60T press and the pump seals are leaking. I’m sure it is the same seal design.
Hey Freddy, I've only just seen your comment. It's called gland packing or pump packing. I just grabbed some from a local supplier. Comes in all kinds of materials. I used PTFE.
Nice job! Have a similar post vice I will be restoring soon. You gave me some great ideas. Thanks!
Nice piece of kit I've owned a 50 t and 30 ton made the mistake of buying a 50 ton hafco since got rid of that and brought another servex press it badged as an APAC but it's the same layout minus the winch for the bed , it's common for the ram to weep slightly just nip the seal ring up after a bit of use as when they have sat for a while they have a tendency to dry up edit it's an apac not acme ,got it mixed up first time
It is weeping a little bit. I wasn't sure how tight to go with the seal ring I might give the nuts another turn and see if it sorts it out.
@@johnkeysyt that's normal when used regularly the seal is saturated enough to swell and contain the oil ,work it through a few more cycles and nip it up little at a time Nice work on the overhaul as other comments have pointed out it should be good for generations to come I striped the paint off mine and hit it with lanolin then rubbed it in. I'm glad someone like yourself ended up with it and not some silly man cave moron , it really annoys me no end when useful tools are turned into display pieces and thereby reducing the availability of same to those that would actually put them to practicable use. A while back I sold some black smithing tools had a very large anvil and swage block I got talked into splitting the swage from the packet, when the buyer told me he was going to put it in his man cave my heart sank... too late though I already had the coin in my hand Most of my tools are Australian made except for my Colchester and a team power pack and my measuring equipment mostly Moore and Wright the older made Aussie gear although not as finessed like German or Japanese gear was built to last and be serviceable Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one edit sorry for repeating myself in first part I've got covid brain at present
Replace the hight adjustment chain with a winch cable and it will be much smother.
By my recollection the press bolt should not be used "naked" but with a cup. I see the press bolt end has been worn down. You could repair it in the lathe.
Thanks Frank, I'll make some different cups to put on the end of it.
Nice work!
Excelent job. Those things are indeed meant to last more than a lifetime.. Cheers!
I have Servex press in my home workshop don’t use it a lot but when I don’t it is awesome. When we used to make stuff Aussie quality.
Awesome restoration John and I like the yellow. I restored a Wade hydraulic press, made in Australia, and it was dark blue when I got it but guess what colour I painted it? Yellow😂. Cheers, Stuart. Canberra.
Great practical restoration. How could I not subscribe. Subbed here!
Very nice job, it had some problems but you sorted them out and it will now last for years.🇦🇺
Great video mate. You’ve done a ripper job!
Nice restoration job John. I have a Servex 30tn press, a baby brother to yours and it was good to see the ram stripped down. Fortunately mine still has the original red paintwork and is in great condition considering its age. In my hobby shop, I use it quite a lot for all sorts of jobs; it’s such a versatile piece of gear. I’m sure you will find lots of jobs to use yours on to. Before the modern Enerpac presses, I think Servex were the Rolls Royce of Australian presses.
Hey John, I always envied the 30t Servex that they had at Uni when I went which is why I was so excited to get this one. I didn't think it this one would be too much bigger but boy was I wrong. When I originally got it I searched to see if I could find any videos of one being stripped down with no luck so I hope this helps someone in the future. Cheers.
Hey, John! Good to see another project post (Gordon, your erstwhile neighbour). As for the lack of music - I prefer it. Music, especially the *wrong* music, is distracting.
Thanks mate, Got plenty of stuff I'm working on but just trying to keep the videos to things that I reckon other people would find interesting.
Good job, very interesting mill as well….pap is a hard worker. Thanx for the video..
awsome,guy,s enjoyed this much
😮. That's awesome to see a piece of history. Awesome
Nicely done!! I have one gifted to me by a friend. It is functional, but needs some love for sure. I am going to clean it up much like you did. I am however lucky it looks 100% complete.
Nice job .
Damn that’s cool, this is how you restore a tool, good job😊
Find it frustrating not seeing if you re- treated the spring after annealing it with the torch to bend
Looks good. I bought a new Kanca 6". Much easier and it is welded. Im not a fan of wedges that might come loose during use. I prefer bolted and welded joints. If you do any smithing at all the vise is a crucial tool. Forge On!
Nice work. I subbed you.
muy buen trabajo gracias por compartir, me dio muchas ideas saludos
Muy bueno,👌👍👍,pero yo pondría un pié macizo,el peso extra es muy necesario en un tornillo de banco.
Каким маслом после обжига обработали?
Hey, Boiled linseed oil.
All you did was clean the rust off, Why do you need to clean the rust off?
Thanks for posting this video as i need to replace the mounting bracket and was not looking forward to the amount of forge welding that was ahead for this project i still have some work forging the part that goes around the leg and spring I'm using 12mm x 40mm steel I'll still have some forging as I'm looking too make the split mounting bracket
Just found your videos. Good stuff! Looking forward to more and hope it works out well for you!
Did you have to add weight to the stand? Also how long is the leg that goes to the ground, the one I have is missing most of leg.
Not yet, but I reckon will be filling the box with concrete shortly.
The leg from the bottom of the rectangular bit is 340mm to the ground or approx 13 1/2 inches.
Thank you very much for the information about the length of the leg , I will try to weld a bit of steel onto it .
Hey John, nice project and result! I have an exact same leg vice in my shop here in tbe Netherlands, exact duplicate. The only makers mark I found was a small anchor and "Amsterdam" stamped next to it. Do you know more about the origins of your vice?
Hey, Thanks I've got no idea of the origins of mine. I'm from Australia and bought it off a fella who had plans to restore it but never got there. I can't find any markings on mine but would be keen to know if anyone could identify it.
@@johnkeysyt If I ever find anything I can let you know. Enjoy your nicely restored vice!
A buddy found one of these on a road trip, and required $ 40.00 to leave it. Have an Ash stump pre installed in work area. Love the burned oil finish, just what I need!
Awesome
Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work sir. Keep Making. God bless.
Awesome and you are right mine is missing that as well. I do not have the equipment yet to work the metal that I need to yet.
What is the angle on that spring I can't seem to get mine to the right angle
Hey, It's 15 degrees for mine. It's at 5 1/2 post vice.
Ok thanks I'm pretty sure that is what size mine is I haven't worked on mine after my failed attempt to fix a new spring
That vice and stand turned out beautifully
Your old man is a Legend
If you new in the game of smithing I'd recommend watching John from Black Bear Forge. Need more Aussies in the game. I appreciate you. Keep up the great content!!!
Cheers mate, I actually have been following him for some time now. We've been working on the house for a bit but I'll be posting some new content very soon.
this is sick!
Great Job!
sangat bagus rakitanya bosd,,, sukses selalu seperjuangan di kayu 😊👍👍❤🙏🙏
Nice Train the land looks a lot like here in east coast Canada.Hope to visit Australia some time in the future leigh
sacrée belle restauration ! L'outil était déjà magnifique, et tu a réussi a le sublimer d'avantage, merci pour la vidéo =]
Nice job. I would be wary of that spring though. You are right about the box and screw being the high-wear parts. They are a better sign to look at than the handle when checking out an old post vice. That spring is going to put a lot of unnecessary and pointless wear on both the screw and box. Most of those old vices have little to nothing acting as a spring, and they work fine. I have used mine for 30 years with a spring that did nothing. Have fun, Blacksmithing is a most enjoyable craft.
