I'll have to watch this when I get home from work 😉

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Hope you like it Ade!

Dean I just was Turing some thrust washers and found I had to decrease my speed quite a bit on that bronze, especially while parting. Nice work.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Dale, I had to the decrease the feed quite a bit when turning and parting had to be much slower. Strange stuff to work with.
Best wishes, Dean.

That was great, loved it. Great to see Grandads tools getting used in part 2. Also I wondered if it might have been worth lowering the parting tool height a bit, but you sorted it.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

I use his tools almost every day.

The clutch plates are different than ours.

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Yes, it's a much smaller clutch than most of the more modern bikes. Thanks for watching Cain.

I put it right in part two, what a Charlie! I was telling myself not to forget it too!
