      No matter what you do - keep on! I love this video as much as your others, with the aluminum feet you really got me. You are the greatest example of what is possible even if you don‘t have each and every tool. Improvisation is key!

      the design would lend itself for an height adjustable chair, by inserting a threaded shaft in the 2 big metal pieces... but if way too high already it may not be possible to insert that mechanism and get back enough height to your liking...

    Quite possibly, the single most skilled thing you did with this wonderful project was 'welding up a simple jig for the fly press'! Pretty effective way to accurately bend a steel bar along the edge like that! As always, a very creative project, done masterfully!

    It is so easy for Pask to hide his mistakes in editing, but he always keeps them in the video. This not only shows his integrity but also shows to all of us planning some projects that mistakes are always possible and sholud never stop us from trying and continuing. Thank you Mr. Pask!!!

      "Oh I don't want to blacken the nuts, but they are on the under side so no one will see"
      Great chair still, but I wouldn't say hes the greatest "marksman". A great craftsman would right those wrongs

      After watching what has happend in the USA over the last years, and especially months, I'm so convinced, that there more idiots out there than I thought, and some of them just love to spend their time on YT opening video after video just to give them a thumbs down. Not watching or knowing what the videos are about, as they really don't care!
      It just makes their day perfect, the more videos they can dislike and the more they can spread their bad vibes!
      They are just scum, these anonymous cowards! That's all to say about them! Scum!
      Normal people just watch and give a thumbs up to the videos we like, evt. write a comment now and then, and we move on when there are videos we're not interested in. Simple as that! Right? (y)

    Lovely project, Neil, well done.
    And thanks a lot.... now I need a flypress. I've been fascinated with them for quite a while from blacksmithing channels. You just don't see them for sale often in the US.
    Glad to see you got a metal bandsaw. I don't know how handy/maker people live without one. They're not "good" tools, but they are indispensable. I've had one for ~25 years, and pro tip, the top wheel bushing needs greasing once a year or so, otherwise they wear out.

  • @b0rd3n
    @b0rd3n 4 года назад +1

    @Pask Makes, instead of heating the 'whole' area when you try to 'unbend' the tight radius, you can simply heat the longest side of the radius to a red hot in a few places around the area to correct. This makes the steel expand while hot (making a tigher curve/radius yes) and contract to an even smaller area than what it originally was. You can also use this to correct straightness on a pole, per example, after welding heavy passes on one side which will make that pole curve like there's no tommorrow. Doing some 'spot heating', every couple inches afterwards will essentially do the opposite and straightenthe piece.

    I loved watching your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I have an original “Blade” chair as they are called which I am restoring. I understand that they were produced for the Air Ministry in the 1950’s. Sadly there is nothing online about how the chair was designed and developed. I would love to get more history about it as part of our lost UK industrial heritage. Rubery Owen were a significant engineering company at one time manufacturing components for aircraft and vehicles amongst many other components.

    Well done, mate.
    As an aside, if you throw the steel parts into a bath of vinegar, with their mill-scale still on them, the scale will usually vanish in twenty-four hours. Saves on noise, 'lectricity, grinding discs, ear torture, and so on. If you want to speed it up, use a solution of water and 10% hydrochloric acid (also known as muriatic acid), available from the local hardware shop. That takes only a couple of hours.
    For oddly-shaped parts like these you can make a "bathtub" from scrap wood (you got plenty of that) and that orange plastic sheeting used by the chaps who dabble in concrete. They put it under concrete slabs and footings, but it's cheap, easy to use, acid-proof, and readily available. In Australia, the most common brand is "Fortecon", also available at your local hardware shop.
    Just sayin'
