Thanks Paul, you did a great job on my centre stand. It sits at a better angle now and level! I would never have thought of using a self tapping screw to remove the roll pin, most tend to seize in. Oh and thanks for not cutting 7mm off, but adding instead 😉
Hi Marcus, it was a nice easy job and a bit more practice for my TIG welding. Actually your roll pin was very well greased and no corrosion and it came out very easily. Now you can sell those spare rubber feet on ebay 🙂 Cheers
Hi Matty, yes slowly getting better with TIG but I don't think they will be asking me to weld nuclear reactor cooling pipes anytime soon. Cheers matey.
Well it's true Joel, I don't claim any ability with TIG but as I get more experience maybe it's becoming a bit of a British understatement. Perhaps I should allow myself an upgrade to "beginner plus". 😁Cheers
HI Jack, I'm always on the go so I find it very difficult to put on weight and if I do it only goes on my belly. I've got suits 25 years old and they still fit - but I hardly ever need to wear suits these days anyway just wedding and funerals. Cheers
Hi Carl, always good to hear from maritime subscribers. Each time I use TIG I learn a little bit more. Need to do a bit of aluminium welding on a job coming up soon so that will be a new adventure. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed I would say I had done more aluminium tig than anything else. I made a total faux pas recently when welding to an acme threading tool I tried to build. Overheated the carbide and wrecked it. Still kicking myself. I see you have a gas lens now. The one thing I would say about your tig technique would be to keep the torch in place over the weld until the post flow has stopped. Other than that I think you are doing well.
Hi GTB, all I can say is welding with TIG compares to writing with a fine pencil, and stick and MIG compare to writing with a spattery paintbrush. 🙂 But you would not weld the deck plates on a battleship with TIG so it's "horses for courses", as they say. Cheers
Hi John, I was under orders from the wife to buy up any unsold cakes, but as it happens passing motorists and dog walkers bought out the stock pretty quickly. Cheers
Hi Paul! Right to use TIG, but the tip og the tunsten needs to be "SHARP". This would make the "flame" from the tip much smaller & more concentrated. You could put the tip of the tungsten about .090 (2.286mm) away from the metal & voila, you've got a beautiful & very small weld with a tiny heat affected zone. Glad to see the welding improve. Cheers.
@@davesden Can't take a joke? MM vs inches has been an ongoing war for how long? Don't push the nuke button; just enjoy life, have fun, & don't judge others.
Hi Bob, I try to focus on one point with each job. Maybe that's keeping the rod within the gas, or getting the point or the distance or the stick-out right. Step by step I'm learning. I need to do my first ally welding on a project soon so that will be a new experience I'll share. I'll pass over the inch/mm sensitivities I saw in the on-comments. Personally, I like both systems but probably I'm a bit more leaning towards inches due to my age. I love the mathematical magic of fractions. Thanks for your support.
@@HaxbyShed Didn't mean any harm. I guess there are those who'll take offense at anything. Just a little good natured ribbing. Your welding has improved & I'm glad to see that. Be happy. bob G.
Hi Paul, i have watch your 7 parts video about the shaper repairs. A great serie, I have even a small shaper cold Hembrug, the same as Rostinux. In some other video's i see that you have mounted a drilling conversion on the shaper. Did you make a video about that project? and if where can I watch? If not will you telling more about it? Thanks in advance.
A lot of after-market Lambretta stands are ill-fitting, usually rectified in the time honoured tradition of whacking it with an hammer (aligning the stops correctly), however, adding 7mm to the length of one side indicates an issue with the frame strut. Good idea though, it has to be said.
Hi worldtraveler, you live up to your youtube name, educating me. I had to look up shiner bock and now know it's a beer brewed in Texas. I am being serious here - I learn so much from our community. Thanks for your support. Cheers.
@@HaxbyShed and it's a great beer too! After living in Germany for many years, I can't drink typical American beer. There was a great Sir William Lyons joke in there somewhere.😁 I'd kill for a Bit burger right about now! "Bitte ein Bit!" I was in a casino in Las Vegas once and asked the lady for a Varstiner, confused, she says.. Oh you want a (War)steiner!!! Ughh.🤪 I kid you not.

Oxy-Acetylene would have been the better choice for a scooter. Douse the scooter liberally in petrol, apply flame from the oxy. Allow to burn until completely destroyed. Can you tell I'm a biker, too?
Hi HLC, yes I'm definitely a biker, been on bikes since I was 13 and always had something to ride although I recently sold my last trials bike and all I have left now is a Yamaha Neos commuter scooter (did I really say scooter? - but not one of 'those' scooters you mean). If I see an old bike that takes my fancy and cheap enough I might still pick one up yet. Cheers

Hi Matty, yes slowly getting better with TIG but I don't think they will be asking me to weld nuclear reactor cooling pipes anytime soon. Cheers matey.
Cheers Paul. You're making me want to do some more welding!
Hi TRM, my interests tend to cycle around in waves. Maybe I'm moving up to a welding wave - I've got to weld my first Ally on a job soon. Cheers
Hey Man..... very nice welds for a presumably self-proclaimed Tig Hack 👍👍😎👍👍
Well it's true Joel, I don't claim any ability with TIG but as I get more experience maybe it's becoming a bit of a British understatement. Perhaps I should allow myself an upgrade to "beginner plus". 😁Cheers
I haven't heard about or seen a Lambretta in a long time. My dad had one for 25yrs, it was a terrific workhorse.
Hi HM, there are a few around in the UK. The guy I did that stand for has 3. Cheers
that looks like a good fix. Lambrettas were all over the place in Veit Nam, but those were 3 wheelers , they used them as taxis.
Hi Vernon, Lambrettas have a cult following here in the UK for people in scooter clubs. Some can sell for serious money. Cheers
Hi Paul, it was a nice idea using the nut for the 7mm extension, I'll need to keep that one in my toolbox for future jobs.
Hi Morgan R, the nut was only 6.3mm deep (not 7mm), but keep that to yourself. Cheers
Nice job, always good to be able to help out a mate. You're looking a bit scrawny, hope you tucked in to a few of those fairy cakes!
HI Jack, I'm always on the go so I find it very difficult to put on weight and if I do it only goes on my belly. I've got suits 25 years old and they still fit - but I hardly ever need to wear suits these days anyway just wedding and funerals. Cheers
Nice job Paul. I'm back on the High seas so your videos are keeping me going. Nice tig work and glad you made the bake sale.

Hey man, Great job Paul!
Hi Al, just another day in the workshop doin' random jobs. Cheers
nice work PAUL Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kimber. Regards
I am pleased you made it to the bake sale. Great job with the TIG. Every time you use the TIG we start thinking about getting one

Thanks Danny, always good to hear from you. Cheers
Well done keep on keeping on.
Cheers Harold. Thanks for dropping by.
very good job paul
Thank you TPMA. Cheers
Nice job allround Paul, hope the cake bake went well 👍
Hi John, I was under orders from the wife to buy up any unsold cakes, but as it happens passing motorists and dog walkers bought out the stock pretty quickly. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Very clever, hope the grandchildren ( I assume), don't increase their next batch by too much! 😉
Nice work! I'm no welder but I might have plugged that hole from the previous roll pin just to be neat and tidy.
Hi bkoh, yeh it would have been nicer if I plugged that old hole. I thought about it ....... but decided to save the gas. Cheers
Thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome Craig. Cheers

Yes Paul take advice from this guy who calls the arc a flame. And use your micrometer to make sure you are exactly 2.286mm away 🤣🤣😇

A good fix, I would have plug welder the old roll pin holes whilst I was at it.
Hi Tony, yes I thought about it but I figured it was still strong enough. Less weight might add 5mph 🤣
Jeah, piece of cake! At the end of the video anyway :)
Hi Michel, my wife wanted to buy them all. Cheers

Thank you Him Again. I seem to get a steady stream of what my US friends call "hey man" jobs. It makes life interesting. Cheers
I don't get too many "Hey Man" jobs since I air-conditioned the garage. The door stays down these days. 😉 But I will work for shiner bock!

Bear, riding mopeds is fine at any age. It's only falling off mopeds that's a problem. 😁
We call "Hey man" jobs "can you just" !
Hi Tony, I don't mind doing a few odd jobs for people I know, but I pick and choose which ones I take on. Cheers
good job ,, good cakes!
Thanks Graedon. Cheers
