    Hi Paul, That was a lovely interview, well done to you both!! I’m sure you could have continued to tell us anecdotes about your engineering career which would make interesting videos. I thought your highest video was going to be doing the roofing repairs, not sure if I’ve seen the lock oiling one, I’ll go and search it out!! I think you’re right about it being two different hobbies. When I get some more time I would like to do some of my own but I’m conscious of the time required for the video side. For the time being I like to post photos and videos of my walks (on the instathingy), it’s not tourist stuff at all. I´m often chasing old industrial buildings, mills, railway lines and irrigation channels but it’s taken me to some spectacular scenery. Have a great weekend!!

    Enjoy all your videos Paul, your stiff patio door lock video did rather well. If you ever decided to do a follow up on that video, you may want to consider one where you replace the Euro cylinder barrel (eg, when someone loses one of the keys, or the lock is damaged on the outside, but can still be opened from the inside). The cylinders come in different lengths, but are really easy to measure, and you already know how to remove / replace them :)

      Hi Argee, I've found there is absolutely no way of forecasting who will be naturally interested and who won't. I think they all should be. But I can tell you from personal experience having practical daughters is tough on husbands and partners because DIY skill expectations are high. 😁 You can almost hear the words "I'll do it myself then!" Some partners accept the challenge step up and learn but I think some it irks. I've observed it..... Cheers

    What a great video. I would encourage both Grand Daughters to be apart of the Haxby Shed review on how they gauge the state of the work program. This could be incorporated every few months. This exposure will assist them in expressing their views why they see the shed activity interesting. Allowing this type of engagement for our children broadens their understanding of the effort to create, or restore items of interest.

  • @blindness2sight119
    @blindness2sight119 3 дня назад

    great review. I really need to know, though, does the jaw/workpiece lift when tightened? They claim that this vice has a lockdown system and is a sellig point. would have been great if that was explored. Cheers.

    • @HaxbyShed
      @HaxbyShed День назад

      Hello blindness, so I just clamped a known square block 35mm wide and the sliding jaw lifted 1/100 of a mm or near enough half a thou. If I spent more time cleaning everything it might be less. So compared with a normal vice with a dovetail slide and gib I'd say the Vevor vice does pretty well. Hope that helps. Cheers

    Morning Haxby Shed, Saw your video on your refurb of the Rapidor hacksaw and noted the countershaft mounted underneath. Could you give me a rough indication of the size of the motor and countershaft pulleys please? My own conversion to single phase has hit a bump in the road after finding that my motor has a gearbox inside it, so need to move to plan B. Thanks and Regards, John ( your videos all much appreciated)

    • @HaxbyShed
      @HaxbyShed 2 дня назад

      Hi John here are the details. 1/2 HP motor 3.6A, 1420 rpm. Motor pulley 3in diameter driving 9in diameter pulley on cross shaft (driven end). That driving another 3in diameter pulley which in turn drives the big wheel which is 15in diameter. It's a long time since I looked at this but I recall this setup possibly drives the saw about 20% faster than the original. It never struggles or stalls. Hope this helps, Paul.

    It’s maybe a three minute cycle to fit the engine and gearbox in the factory, quite possibly from below with the subframe. 40 odd years ago it took me two days working by myself aged about 18 to remove a mini engine & gearbox and probably three times longer to get the engine and a rebuilt gearbox back in (it had locked up in gear). Now just reading a Haynes manual gives me backache.

    • @HaxbyShed
      @HaxbyShed 6 дней назад

      Hi Martin, I had a 998 Cooper and a 1275 Cooper S and I had the engines out too often on both of them. But yes rebuilds were never quick. At 26 I had to upgrade to a sensible car because the family was growing and after that my home car maintenance was more limited. My son buys 'classic' or unusual cars for £2k or £3k (maybe £5k occasionally) and just enjoys them. He's got 4 at the moment. He never makes money on them but gets the pleasure from just having them. Cheers

    • @HaxbyShed
      @HaxbyShed 6 дней назад

      Ha ha yes. But better with that concrete pad down now, instead of struggling over the gravel. The builder quoted a mix at 4 to 1 but it was very brown and took about a month to harden off (not before some surface frost damage). When I checked the proportions myself I realised it's actually about 8:1, even though I was assumed it was deffo 4:1 when I queried as it was going down. Hey ho. 🙄. It is 6 inch thick in places though so it's only a surface hardness issue really. Cheers

  • @carlwilson1772
    @carlwilson1772 7 дней назад

    I hope your wife is doing well Paul. It was a good video. The engine is tight in there and no mistake. I take it that it was just easier to remove the engine and gearbox complete? I'm assuming the gearbox to bell housing fasteners were almost impossible to get to?

    • @HaxbyShed
      @HaxbyShed 7 дней назад

      Hi Carl, basically yes it's so tight at the back of the engine it's just easier to take the whole lot out in one. Plus if there are any variances in the block drillings/fixings it will be much easier to deal with them off the car. It is 4 wheel drive Torsen (25% each corner) so dealing with any drive seals etc will be much easier off the car also. And we have no lift so it's much easier on backs and without loads of dirt in our eyes this way. Cheers.

But don't worry too much on his account because actually he has a lot more experience working on cars than me and trust me he has no problems pushing back if he feels I'm over-stepping. He admitted to being a bit anxious about the weight and balance of that engine and I was getting a bit impatient :-) Generally we get on very well together, usually he's messaging me several times a day. Same with all our kids. We are lucky like that. We are a close family. Cheers

      Hi TrollForge, I asked him about that. It's very hard to get to the bell housing bolts with the engine in. I think even just leaving the box would be difficult and we do not have a car hoist so it means a lot of time on our backs. Also the replacement engine should be bolt for bolt compatible but if there are any differences in the block they will be much easier to deal with off the car. Cheers

      To be honest I was just a bystander. My son has a lot more experience with modern cars than me. Cheers

      It's a 2002 - the body is in great condition for the age. Cheers

    I really liked my Passats, the last one was at 205,000 miles when someone bumped it. It was a 2.0TD, not a W8 though! Interesting video Paul.

      My son has had a lot of cars - something over 25. He is not a flipper - he just gets what he likes to drive himself, mostly inexpensive. He has 4 at the moment. He tends to stick with VW and he's had maybe 5 Passats in various forms. His wife drives one now. Cheers

    Remind me to never buy a Volkswagon ! I have never seen such a complicated looking engine !!! I should send you a picture of something super simple.

      Horribly over complicated for no good reason. Lump the others with VW and you will be safe! This means MB, BMW and over priced VWs (porsche) I swear something happened around 1990, the level of complexity went apeshit on all these cars.

      @jagboy, it will all become simple again soon with just a battery and a motor. Then we will all look back fondly on the days of complicated cars ...... telling our stories to the young folks.

      Hi Jay, well that is an extreme case I think, which makes it very desirable to VW enthusiasts. It's a manual box and apparently only 43 were sold in the UK and there's less than 20 left. Cheers

    It sounds great "free" but even dropping 6kWh out of the battery (max the inverter) and putting that back in "free". Obviously you could decided to run lots of other things too to get more use but just sticking with battery push. So 6 x 15p to grid export = £0.90. Then fill back up at £0 ..... but Solar is still active so that goes to battery first.... ?! not really worth the hassle is it.

      Hi Ians you are right. We are in our 3rd free energy session as I write this and I'm not even bothering because it is sunny. Practically speaking the only way to use the free energy today is to turn off the inverter (and battery) for an hour but that messes up the data reporting for the rest of the day. Cheers
