    Hey Mt Pete, Just so you know - I always get informed when you put out a video. I've been subscribed to you for years and every time you put out a video it pops up in my subscription part of my display. Please don't stop putting out your mystery tools videos as they are one of my favorite videos. Later

      He's not banned, RUclips stopped promoting his channel because the vast majority of viewers don't want to watch a 45 minute video of some old dude emptying a cabinet full of pullers. If he put's it back up at 45 seconds long he'll be back in business.
      RUclips is trying to match its completion, and only promotes creators who do that sort of video. Shorts, stupid thumbnail, clickbait title, that crap. He's not the only one this has happened to, I'm surprised it's taken so long.

    #1 looks like it is part of a door closer. The two different gear configurations control the sweep and latch cycle of the door closer.
    #2 Could be for an Atlas milling machine.
    #3 is an adjustable tenon cutter for dowels or wooden spokes. The slide is set to control the depth of cut.
    #4 Looks like it is a soapstone heat shield for plumbing work. Well, that is my guess for #4.

    4 is a soap stone bed warmer. You heat it in the oven then slide it between the sheets. The dust you created in demonstrating the material's softness likely is a mixture of talc and asbestos.

  • @paulhunt598
    @paulhunt598 2 месяца назад

    #1 I want to cheat and scan the answers for clues. The complex gear reminds me of the two speed pump jack feature that changed speed automatically as the shaft made its revolution by shifting to the different gear ratio with the "wobbly" gear. The scroll cam feature of your parts reminds me of the Automatic Tool Change drive mechanism common on CNC mills. These ATC scroll cams provided speedy, rugged, highly repeatable mechanical motion to drive complex mechanical functions with a simple orbit motor input. The engineering and precision machining of high tolerance hardened parts were a joy to watch and to troubleshoot when something did wear or fail.
    Your example wasn't shown long enough for me to grasp its function or to then guess its use or purpose, but it is beautiful to see.
    Now off to the keyboard bandit answers that might reveal a clue!
    #2 I don't know the maker, but this would fit a very small horizontal machine where I have little knowledge or experience. I want to guess Atlas or Sourh Bend. You have spent time with SB mills and your reluctance to name the maker is an Atlas clue. I have never seen a #2 morse taper draw tool, but my little Atlas lathe came with a spindle drawbar. I assumed it was for collets. I think it uses a #2 spindle taper??? I have never inspected. Could Atlas have intended to fit their lathes for horizontal mill work? It seems too light duty of a machine, but mine is equipped with a Y axis milling feature. I tried it one time. Way too much backlash in the cross slide and carriage and too little rigidity, caused catostrophic part and tooling failure. I purchased a Bridgeport and never experimented with milling on the lathe again! Pristine milling feature components indicate that previous owner(s) never had milling success on my machine either!
    #3 A tennon cutter, used before my woodworking hobby career. I am going to guess that its most common use was for making tennons for furniture features like chair stretchers. The casting features and paint remind me of Stanley tools, but other makers did similar features.
    #4 looks like fire brick. I can imagine many uses, but I don't know its intended purpose, though it bears what appears to be heat scars.

    No 4 is likely a slate, used on a building site to jot down sizes and other details, so that you can go to the saw and lumber pile, and cut the wood to fit the exact space it was to go into. Soft, so it was easy to mark, and then a quick scrub down with some sand, a wash with a wet cloth, and it is ready to go again.

    I always heard the old-timers refer to this as a "hollow auger". It was used for putting the tenons on the end of wooden wheel spokes.

    FYI. Since I commented on your last video this one was in my feed today. Before yesterday I hadn't seen one of your videos in quite some time. Hopefully you'll get back on track. I've never noticed any political slant on this channel. Nothing overt anyways.

    Mr Pete. I have over 300 subscriptions. Obviously I can't watch all the suggestions when they pop up and I only watch yours now and then but they do come up often for me here in Australia. Those I do watch I always enjoy. So.... ?
