Friday morning. Big cup of coffee. Cat asleep on the desktop. And, most importantly, a new video from Keith. Thanks for a great video. It's truly appreciated.
Similar situation. Cup of tea (Russian Caravan, cream, no sugar). Cat sleeping on the printer. Watching Kieth knock out bolts and pins. Enjoyment.
Tea. German turnip (Kohlrabi). And lunchtime.
Not that great really. Kinda boring video TBH. Keith can do better. Feel like he's dragging this project out.
Aye. Life's good.
@@uowebfoot, I think he learned this from that abomb guy, stretch every job out for all its worth. Keith isn’t nearly as bad but he used to get a lot of work into every video.
Yes!! Thank you for helping Leo and being part of the inspirational story of bring Tally Ho back to life.
Thank You for helping Leo.
Keith,I congratulate you and Dave in being craftsmen engineers and you are wonderfully genuine..Thanks indeed...Pleasure to watch.
Custom is the real blessing even the mundane bolt tally ho is a one off blessing deserving of your custom craftsmanship. God bless you sir.
❤make an extra screw, etch your logo and tally ho on it and auction it. I pay $50. ❤❤❤❤
It allways surprises me how easy you can work with these funny measurements.
For a second at the beginning there thought you were walking with a cane and thought "uh-oh, what happened?" Glad it just turned out to be today's raw material.
It's been a pleasure watching not only the building of the Tally Ho videos, but the videos of the work being done by yourself (and others) on the capstan ... it's been entertaining, inspirational and educational 👍
The difference between a person that's good at something, and a person that's great at something is their willingness to do and complete the mundane tasks with the same concern for quality as the things that are exciting and challenging. This is why you and your channel are always top notch. I surely appreciate the effort it takes to bring us this content!
It was fascinating to watch the manufacturer of those bolts - particularly the use of the hexagonal collet to make the bolt heads!! Great work Keith!!
Some people are able to make a thriller out of opening a can of tuna.
Keith is one of these but also a master machinist and then we have a little masterpiece!
Mr. Rucker I do hope that you get to ride on Tally Ho for your work..
Have a thumbs up and a comment, Keith. Well deserved. Feed the algorithm and support.
Thanks for enduring the "gun-to-head" boredom of the production work needed to complete the Tally Ho capstan project. The dedication of craftsmen like you is what makes the Tally Ho project so rewarding to watch.
I finally got to use a lathe in high school. I felt so proud to be trusted.
Leo is one lucky guy to have such skill manifested in his behalf...
For a mundane job, that was really interesting. I'm loving the work you are doing on the tally ho capstan. It is amazing to watch you work with metal with the same care and precision that Leo does with wood.
Superb work. It's great to watch a craftsman at work.
I like it when you make the parts you need
Keith it's the little things that add up to quality work.
Constantly amazed by the craftmanship..."mundane" or complex. Thanks Keith for the continuing education!
Simple but beautiful! Just bolts but the finished product looks great. Can't wait to see them hold that gypsy in place and ultimately pull up Tally Ho's anchor!
I have never used the collet with hexagon sides to make bolt heads. easy for sure. I like the threading tool too. I miss this kinda work. Your living the life...
Beautiful work. I imagine this capstan sailing the seas for at least another hundred years.
Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together Keith. It's great viewing
Kind regards from Germany Keith 👍You knocked the Thing on the Head ! With your comment...one Part is Fun, the next 20 Torture . But you can be proud on your Craftsmenship . I hope my thoughts are at least understandable.....😉Rudi👍
Lovely work Keith. Thanks for showing your processes. Go well
Amazing .... great tools and jigs .... and the know how to make it all come together .... Master Craftsman ....
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ..............
Thanks, Keith, for starting my Friday off with another fun video. (I like watching other people work!)
As all ways Keith. A master at his work , a nice job to finish the Friday, and hopefully a slack weekend.
Good morning Keith from a rainy and dull Hampshire UK
Well it’s raining here in Michigan too!
A nice bright sunny morning here in Charlotte North Carolina. Good to see this fascinating project taking shape by a master craftsman.
Love to see the thought process behind all of this
Us woodworkers believe metal work is alchemy, smokin' mirrors and magic so a big thanks for the clear commentary. Good luck Keith.
The smallest little parts are always the most satisfying to watch get done.
Would make a couple extra for a backup just in case.
Thought you were using a walking stick at first! Glad you’re not hurt haha
Hugely appreciated, that although these ancillary parts/tasks are the "mundane" or "non-challenging" phase of the project for a guy with your expertise, you still take the time+trouble to explain the foundational basics (rather than leave us to find & learn it elsewhere). In this way, this project is turning into quite the holistic education for us who've not had any real-world exposure to this line of work.
Not to mention the broader historical documentary value, against a time when a younger generation will only know of these parts being made on CNC equipment that's prohibitively expensive. So much so, that normal civilians will effectively have neither insight into the production processes, nor access even to realistically purchase the kind of specialty small-batch parts in question.
Thanks for sharing Keith
It's so pleasant to see you at work, Keith.
I wonder when work will resume on the Stoker Engine.
Really appreciated your narration for each step along the way. I am not a machinist but could tell this would be a 'simple' and repetitive project. Your camera placement, sound levels of voice and machine, and editing were most assuredly not mundane. Great job Keith, thank you.
Dear Mr. Rucker
👍👌👏 2) Quite a lot of effort and precision going into this special capstan. Just like everything for/on gorgeous Tally Ho.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
To someone with no metalwork experience it’s like beautifully presented magic. Thank you.
Really enjoying the Tally Ho project 👍
I'm really enjoying these videos. I'm a hand tool woodworker who started the hobby after retirement, having learned the basics of that in high school. I never was given the opportunity to see or do machining, but I am now finding it fascinating. You are a great teacher. Many thanks for your work on the Tally Ho project.
If you enjoy machining some other great channels are Keith's friend Abom79 (Adam Booth), Joe Pie, and Cutting Edge Engineering (CEE) Australia. They are all master machinists and those three cover everything manual machinist do. Adam also does some CNC machining as well
@@snappingbearadams channel went down hill. Videos of vacations, museum tours and mundane projects. Enjoy Keith much more
Always a relaxing example of competent craftsmanship Keith! Thanks for holstering that firearm! 😂
I hadn’t seen that sliding die. Very trick. Great show even for the mundane parts. Always learn new stuff. Thank you.
25:52 When I used to Set and Run the Automatic Screw Machines, maine punches from HSS, and A2 tool steel... a short job was 250 pieces ... :)
you do the hard stuff and do it well, thxs for sharing...
It's tradition.. you face it off, as is tradition.. every time somebody faces a piece of work in a lathe I say it in my head. Every time they part off a piece I say Yatzee....
Ah, a fellow Blondihacks fan I see
Gee, wonder why… 😅
Alright Blondie 😂
@@AMurph79Another Blondihacks fan here.
You’re not alone 😂
It never stops surprising me how so much hard-won skill is required to do something so apparently simple as some bronze bolts and pins. So you can't buy them? No sweat, we'll just make 'em.
Mr. Rucker is one of an increasingly rare breed.
so glad I discovered your channel, will come back often after you are done with the Tally-Ho project.
The first one is fun, after that it's just a production line. True of many things in life.
Doing repeat work is how you perfect your skills and learn patience. A production line is when you're time pressured by someone before and after you, and you do hundreds or thousands per day for years on end.
Had me worried at the start there, Keith, thought you were using a cane. Good intro.
I appreciate your confidence, if it was me, I’d have two or three of those pieces of special stock.
I was brought up on short run production, 20 to 100 pcs out in the Silicon Valley of CA. I loved racing myself.
Beautiful work
Always a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Another great video Keith. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
Wonderful to watch, thanks
As usual, fascinating I've wondered how the hex heads got put on bolts in a machine shop. Obvious when you see it. Thanks Keith
I’m so impressed by your work. Your ability to make what you consider mundane entertainment is impressive.
I came to your channel because of Tally Ho but I’m staying 😁
awesome as Always Thankyou
Hail the algorithm!
#TallyHo
😊
If you ever wondered how to do that/ make it? That was awesome!
I’ve said it before but you are a fantastic engineer. Thank you Keith 🇬🇧
Love your work, a lot is already know to me, but always interesting to someone else have a go at it…
Another wonderfully educational video, thanks Keith 🙏
Thanks Keith.
I've just got to say this has become one of my favorite channels on RUclips. As a woodworker I started watching machining videos because the level of accuracy just blew my mind. I've never done any machining ever but I feel like after watching almost all of your videos I've learned a ton! You do a fantastic job explaining things so that even a woodworker like me and follow along 😆
Good for you kieth ,tally ho ,will have to carry standard tools 9/16th haha
Loved the video. A couple of suggestions if I may. Download the MS specification (or NAS, or other). The bolts are dimensioned with tolerances. No need to measure a bolt that will not be nominal in every dimension. Do all lathe work, including the flat radii first, then mill the flats. Just do two flats when finding the mill depth. Save a few steps.
Keith, I don't know anything about machining or using the equipment that you have. But I do enjoy looking over your shoulder and watching you do this work. Thank you sir!
Keith, you are amazing. You can make anything! I've watched all the Tally Ho Capstan videos and it's just a pleasure seeing a master at work. Thanks for taking on the project and sharing all the details. You're turning a 110-year-old capstan into a 21st-century windlass for an amazing project. I'll be following through to the finish, for sure!
Thanks for Sharing. Git'r Did.
Centering operations that involve the tailstock always seem to have the bit wander on the surface initially. I have no doubts it self corrects and the end result is perfectly fine but seeing the bit wander like that always surprises me.
The hours put into this Capstan project - including the pattern making, the foundry work, the work on the power end done in the UK ... - I don't think anyone will dare calculating the cost, had this had to be paid for by the hour. This is exceptional.
Interesting video .. well done🎉
great video
Thanks Keith, great job.
I watch a lot of unreal content on youtube but this is 100% grounded, réal and the core of what matters in life. The création of things.
Great!
Love the video. Watching you do these things brings back a lot of memories. I can almost smell the cutting oil in your shop from here!
Keith is an amazingly talented machinist. Great videos. Enjoyable to watch.
a pleasure to watch, thank you
I really hope you make some spares for Leo.... at least another 3 bolts to be sure if something happens he has spares since they are so custom..
Another great episode, thanks Keith. I am amazed at all the tools and equipment, big and small, he has that make all possible. Great stuff.
The custom hardware reminds me of getting a gift from someone that was hand made versus store bought…
Never knew about the pins…it’s like a bonus video.
I really like your channel, your videos are pretty much perfect.
Enjoying your skill thnx
Thank you for your great videos!
Thank you for sharing.👍
Thank you, as always!
Thank You for sharing your wonderful machining skills with us. Great Job!
Great work as always!
Thank you Keith!
Great work satisfying to watch, Thanks Keith
Great work, well done 👏👏
Thanks for the video Keith.
Thank you for your content
brilliant work keith!
Thanks Keith
I am amazed at the amount of precision set-ups that you execute seemingly on-the-run. As a woodworker I was surprised to see that you didn’t make a couple extra bolts. I need to insure that in later production and assembly procedures if I have an “oops”, there will be a quick and easy “understudy” ready to step in. That and if such a specialty bolt should be needed in the future, you have a replacement. Just curious do you ever do that “just in case” to avoid production delays on smaller components? Far be it from me, an accident prone maker, to coach the maestro of milling. Great to see your expert workmanship and the confidence it provides.
