nice fettling sir.... and only 160 subs off the workshop tour which you 'promised'... !!

Are you procrastinating doing something else? I know whenever I am busy doing 'little' jobs it's because there is a big one I don't want to tackle!

A little domestic doesn't hurt at all. Cheers.

I have my grandfather's old bench grinder, he bought it in the 1970's, dubious quality and I have had it for about 30 years and used it less than a handful of times. You have inspired me to re-purpose this as you have done - mine wanders as well, but has holes for screwing down - thanks for this Allan! Always a source of inspiration!

It might have been a crap grinder but at least it was solidly made and not plastic! You made a great improvement to it. At one time I worked in a factory that ground forgings, all by hand. The lads were all taught to check the grinding wheel before fitting. As I'm sure you know if you tap them they ring if OK and if not you get a dull sound. The wheels were 2' x 2" and one shattered, narrowly missing the operator and passing clean through a large oil drum filled with water. He later admitted he hadn't checked it. Soon after that we moved over to linishing belts, dearer but safer. Even today I stand back when turning my bench grinder on. Elf and safety who needs it.🤕

Using the spare bench grinder as a wire brush/abrasive mop is a very good idea, you may find it much safer to use with the guards removed as now you have no tool rest objects can easily enter the gap, it also makes the wheel much better to use on large metal bits that you are cleaning up, just like a buffing mop with full access, the only problem with this is the amount of rust and general crud that get flung around the workshop, so I have mine mounted on a frame that I can take outside, the wheels that you took off should be broken to prevent them ever being mounted on a grinder as they are very dangerous as they are. The 1/2" BSP refers to the bore of the pipe it is used on, much like the way people will insist on calling a 6 mm hex bolt a 10 mm as they are referring to the size of the head AF and not the shank. Stay safe! Chris B.

BSP thread sizes relate to the bore size of standard steel pipe. 1/2" bsp is found on 1/2" bore pipe.

Definately Korean / naerok backwards. I have a mini mill. That does ok with light cuts.

Yesterday I was doing odd jobs in the shed. You know - rearranging, making brackets, organizing. "Shall I film it?" Nah - who in their right mind will sit and watch someone sort out their workshop? And here I sit. TOP!

Nicely done on all counts Allan. Really enjoying the "shorts". Cheers, Peter.

If you insist on making practical improvements to your workspace, I will be forced to consider unsubscribing. I work in complete chaos and don't want to be reminded of my failures. Cheers from the shed

Hi Mr Tweed. That was a trip down memory lane as I used to sell Naerok tools years ago. These were made in Korea, the name Naerok is Korean backwards, very imaginative…. 🙂

Cracking that Allan, I always had a packet of Rizlas when I worked on milling machines, happy days...

Worthwhile tweaks Tweedy. I need to fit an extended drain down on my compressor. Scrabbling around on the floor has lost its mystique. Best wishes, Dean.

Did laugh when your bench grinder went walk about.

Excellent work Mr Tweed< but put the tool rests back on the grinder or the wheels will eat small components and fling them back at you at 100mph! AMHIK!! You were lucky with the chinese beaqrings, I have had some really bad ones! I now steer clear of them! as usual a very interesting and entertaining video!!

Great job in resurrecting the bench grinder. One point of contention. It's your knees that separate us from the monkeys. Never seen a monkey with knees like that. Spectacular!😂 Just a friendly tip from one hobbyist to another, regarding BSP threads. Pipe threads are determined by the INTERNAL dimension of the pipe or the fittings bore. This would be the pertinent dimension when calculating flow rates etc.

Excellent evenings entertainment Mr T. Loved the intro but not as embarrassing as having to attend ballet class with my female cousins or learning ballroom when your nose was at bosom height of our beloved Mrs Evans. Still I am pretty good at the Polka round the workshop. Thanks for posting we all need some humour just now.

Nice work Mr Tweed👍🏻

I’ve had that same bench grinder since I was in my late teens (I’m 45 now) it’s never missed a beat 😎

Thank goodness for Amazon Mr Tweed,another job well done by a professional. 😊

I Removed the carbs off my f3 and the the return spring disappeared! Looked for ages couldn’t find it anywhere. I had a spare set of carbs so used the spring off them . Refitted the carb back on after a refurb and the engine was only running on 3 cylinders , after a while I removed the carbs again checked them over seemed ok. After a few hours checking things I appeared down the intake’s to find that the choke spring had dropped into no3 and jammed between one of the valve and seat . After a while trying to pull it out to my horror it dropped onto the piston😡. Engine out strip down I thought!! Anyway I made a hook on a piece of welding wire and fished it out I couldn’t believe it came out. 😮. How it hadn’t dropped into the cylinder when I was running it I’ll never know. I refitted the carbs and all good .

I tried one of these , I found it didn't really work, it was easier to use an assortment of bottle brushes, gave it away .

the plastic box, I think contains male and female dowels, used by pattern makers to align / locate two halves of a split wooden pattern. I.E. each pattern half in two (usually cast iron) core boxes that in themselves are dowelled together. Then again, in two years you've probably found that out by now🙄

I see a guy last year who puts really dirty stuff in a container with the degreaser then puts water around the outside to save getting the unit too dirty, seemed a clever idea. Great video as always, the intros are pure gold 👏

❤❤❤❤

C'est magnifique! ..... and some fun in the intro music.

21ltrs? I assume you mean 2.1ltrs

I usually add the water from the kettle and use the heat function to try and maintain the heat. The heater otherwise takes forever

Must be good, it even changed the colour of yr tee shirt, good vid,l liked it.

Don't stick your finger in when it's going. Takes a long time to get the feeling back.

They are excellent tools definitely. I have a 15 litre version. I have a kettle next to mine, or add hot water from the tap, as they take quite a while to warm water up. The ultrasonic action generates heat, so no need for the heater when in use. I also have a small ultrasonic cleaner next to it. Ideal and obviously cheaper to run for just small items.

Many a motorcycle carburettor has been saved through the wonders of these types of devices. That looks like a nice unit - much better than the little jewelry type ones which really don't have the oomph for motor cleaning.

I HATE cleaning stuff but it can't be avoided. The crap in my TR6 bell housing, yuk!

I had one, I bought a medium-sized one, not as big as yours, I found it took hours to get the water up to temperature and did add boiling water to help it on its way. It did not live up to my expectations, did a fair job, not the perfect results that all the hype seemed to show. In the end, I got fed up with it, used a fair bit but when I had to resort to brake cleaner to finish things off I thought time to get rid (now I just use brake cleaner) and sold it on - during the time I had it, a couple of years, prices had gone up for the new ones, so got most of the purchase price back, so not too bad! I always keep the packaging so things can be sold on boxed when I am finished with items. Good luck with yours.

I have one of these in my kitchen I use it to cook chips I find double frying gives the best results 👍🏻

Wot a Whopper! If I am to keep up with the Tweeds I will need an upgrade!!! To speed up the heat up I wrap mine in an old blanket... also helps to muffle the sound when it's running as it's bl00dy irritating!

I would like to get one of those, unfortunately I have no room for one with other treasures the garage is a little full and overflowing.

Nice piece of kit MrT. Thereby hangs a tale. My late father back in the sixties got together with a friend who had a radio shed and tons of radio shortwave stuff and a transmitting set. Heaven for a young lad. He got 3 transducers and between them converted my father's old surgical steriliser into a cleaner just to see. Plastic syringes etc were beginning to replace the old needles and glass syringes. Sharpening the needles each week on a stone is another story. Having the tray emerge when opening the lid was a bonus. Sort of worked for small stuff then they lost interest leaving me with the steriliser. Perfect working order, mega chrome finish and made in the thirties. Amazing how theraputic for memory health is MrT. Best wishes as ever thanks for posting. PS does it get sand out of sandwiches you take to the beach on a Riley day and never eat?

I often place part in an another container containing petrol then immerse container in water in the cleaner. Good for cleaning smaller parts quickly. Also keeps water in cleaner clean.

Someone suggested in the comments below that these cleaners are good at shifting the crud from around rings....I think Jenkins should remove his pants and see if this claim is true 🤣🤣

I'm physically intimidated by the size of yours, compared with the size of mine. Squeaky cleaner that is. They are a very good addition to the workshop. Tea and chat was very enjoyable today, thanks very much. Best wishes, Dean.

A Tweedle

But if I don't film hours of me cleaning grimy garbage, what would I do for content? Another big time RUclipsr trying to put me out of business. Cheers and all the best from a loyal viewer in a shed...

As a suggestion how about " A quickly with Tweed," " Tweed treats " and my personal flavoxate " Tweed Shorts"

I've never regretted buying mine. Mine is smaller (no comments from Jenkins!) but it cleans very well for bike parts. When I worked for a living i had access to a large ultrasonic cleaner made by Bransons who were one of the leaders at the time. In those days we knew nothing about the fact it was filled with Trich and the effect on the environment. I'd recommend getting some Wicks No Nonsense detergent. It's cheap and really effective. I fill mine with hot water to save time and make sure I don't put plastic bits in. The plastic stops the cavitation working as it should. I can't remember the science but it was something Bransons always looked at if we had cleaning problems and called them in to advise. Thanks for the video, I quite like the short ones as well as the 'feature' length ones.

I bought one and it's the best thing since sliced bread, except i don't like sliced bread but otherwise it's fine. Doesn't make parts sparkle like new but certainly cleans them acceptably

Cool is it a heated one? Approx how many litres is it ❤

Implosion of cavitation bubbles. Had one 20 years 2 litre capacity for small items. Gets rid of the crud around rings/jewellery etc.

Nice summer haircut Allan? If I had power in my lock up I would definitely grab one. Alas, kitchen table manual cleaning will continue for me... Boo Hoo!
