Thanks for the shout out of my Foundry Collection. I have been collecting them since about 1995. I worked in a foundry during the summers when I was in college and caught the casting bug then. We still cast aluminum and a little brass in my classroom from time to time. We are mainly a welding shop now. My wife claims nobody would be interested in my collection, Mr. Pete you just proved her wrong! I don't think I will say it out loud to her though!!
Hello David. I am so happy that other people are getting to enjoy your collection. Make sure you read all of the comments from time to time. You have some outstanding castings and patterns, and I suspect you are a great teacher
That would be great, but he only posted two videos on Rumble, and they were both on January 23rd. This video and everything he has done since is not on that platform. I watch videos from other producers on Rumble and the experience is very similar to YT, except they don't censor. Mr. Pete just hasn't the platform much of a chance.
I enjoy your videos more than I can express in a comment. I especially enjoyed the collection images of the castings and patterns. Thank you for sharing the images...
I had a Kabar knife that I carried for over 25 years. 2 blades and open it was 8 inches long. I went to a friends house for a get together and fell asleep in the recliner. Next morning when I was taking my knives out of my pocket to put in my pants to go to work, I realized my Kabar was missing. That evening when I got home I called my friend and told him I must have lost my knife in his recliner. He apologized and was so sorry for my loss.... His wife had the furniture store bring in all new furniture that morning. I had to go buy me a new one and I have been carrying this one for 12 years. Thanks for sharing your videos Mr. Pete!!! I love them all!!!
Such a unique collection of castings and patterns. A technology that most folks take for granted not realizing how many items around them are some type of casting. Pattern makers still amaze me with the sheer scope of the work they did just during WWII, not to mention all they did before and after.
Hi Mr Pete, seeing your degraded Dead Blow hammer reminded me of a fibreglass shafted axe that actually broke in use due to the degraded GRP. Frightening!!! Stick to good old Hickory or Ash for tool handles. Love the con rod bottle opener. I have a similar casting to some of those shown from when Ford Motor Company's Thames Foundry closed in 1987 here in the UK.
@@mrpete222 Hello I've been trying to buy a Logan lathe for the last six months people are asking crazy money for them can you guide to the auction sites where you have purchased some of your lathes thanks John

Hi Lyle, Enjoyed the video. There are nine Springfield's in PA. That diesel engine has 4 valves per cylinder, two for each outboard rocker arm with the injector between them. You and the family stay safe.
Wow Sarah a cutie. For pocket knives it's hard to beat buck knives. My daily carry is a boker strike, benchmade OTF, and an old US made old timer 510T that belonged to my grandpa. I favor auto knives not only because of being a first responder but I just like one hand easy opening.
Lyle - really appreciate the time and effort you put into your "edutainment" videos! Enjoyed the EMD video - I'm pretty sure this engine has 4 valves per cylinder (the two outside rockers actuating two valves each) with the fuel injector in the middle actuated by the center cam lobe (like GM Detroit Diesel 2-stroke Jimmy's). You can see the fuel feed lines going to the injectors in the video. Cool stuff! In the late 1960's, my Grampa in Chicago took me on a tour of the nearby Electro-Motive Plant (manufacturing Diesel-Electric locomotives). What an impression that made on a young boy!

I have used Bag Balm on my hands for years. Great for cracks or after abuse like working concrete. In worst-case situations slather it on at bedtime and put your hands in socks. I have had a Schrade in my pocket around 45 years.
Bag Balm is great for cuts and especially burns. It heals quick and without scabbing. There's been a can of it in my medicine cabinet for 65 years (time out for basic training.)
Lyle, we used bag balm on our goats, and it was good for the hands. Years ago, Paul Harvey mentioned a horse shampoo that was a best seller...for people. It actually did very well to make the hair more manageable.
Hemingway kits are a staple for projects to fill the home machine shop in the UK and European destinations. Die filer castings,rotary broach kits,and much more. I recently bought a Worden tool & cutter grinder kit and accesorries for multi facet drill grinding etc. Nice comprehensive kit with all materials and fixings supplied. That compressor video is worrying but look closely and see just how miserably thin the wall thickness of the steel receiver is. I know mine is considerably thicker walled than that example.
Years ago, one of the neighbors of my grandparents had their garage door and the wall in front of their house covered with foundry patterns, most large gears. I always thought it was really neat.
My "standard Christmas gift" to friends who do not carry a pocket knife is a traditional Case (USA) pocket knife (like a Stockman) small enough for EDC but large enough to get the job done. I find in the beginning of receiving the gift they carry it just in case I ask if they have it one them, but now they have gotten used to carrying them and they actually use them often - LOL! Sometimes you just have to do it the hard way!! :)
I've just watched this a second time (Yes it is that interesting) and headed over to Hemingway kits Boy, there's enough there to keep me entertained for quite some time Sir Thank you again for sharing
Those large bore engines are awesome. They are like the old two stroke Detroit Diesel on steroids. One of the worst jobs to do was adjust the rack on an 8V71 inside a rear engine bus. If you don't get it right the engine could run away or never run right. My vocational teacher has said they are like having multiple chain saw engines bolted together. Thank you Mr Pete.
I used to carry a buck knife when they first came out. Buckknife was in santee calif. Then moved elsewhere, probably because calif. is so business friendly-not. Loved it though.
@@PerspectiveEngineer What is meant by this???? Living on a farm you need a knife to do every day chores. I was driving a tractor by the time I was 12. I'm perfectly fine, thanks. You can go back to your mom's basement now and continue with your video games.

I'm so envious of your collection. I have a small box of knives (several Victorinox too) that passed in my family as a kind of heirloom. They are several times my age old but nevertheless look pretty good. Thanks for today's video.

My wife's uncle swore by Bag Balm for shingles. As previously pointed out, the big GM 2 cycle engines have 4 exhaust valves. The center rocker is the injector plunger and a rack system rotates the injector body to vary the volume of the injector. The cam-driven plunger injects whatever is in the injector. Any catastrophic failure of a vessel containing a compressed gas is a memorable occasion in the least. An all too common one is truck tires, inflated in safety cages. If you're there when one blows, you never forget it. Steam is even worse as it scalds as well. I have a friend who used an old hot water tank in his shop. When it blew the bottom out, it tore out of the piping, went through the roof and came down in the middle of the state highway about 100 ft out front. Enjoy the syrup, I see its the dark full-flavored variety that's oh so good. Light syrup is all the rage these days and a couple of us used to make about 350 gallons a season here on the Champion peak of the Tug Hill in northern NY. But we always preferred the dark, especially for sugar cakes YUM!
5:00 Yes, catalogues - I remember the dog-eared RS catalogues back in the day. (RS components - Radio Spares they were known originally - sort of equivalent to your Radio Shack)
The 20 cylinder EMD engine had trouble with torsional crankshaft vibration. The ones that were on locomotives were scrapped and replaced with V16s a long time ago.
I love the online Mcmaster Carr catalogue as you can download the digital part and 3d print them or CNC mill them, of course with some applications you are better off with the real metal part, I also use the digital models when designing things in CAD as it saves so much time, you can also install the catalogue as a plug-in in Fusion 360
Lyle - a day late but I have to mention the knife I am carrying now. A Kabar 1052. Old and carbon steel, two blades with the longest being 2 inches. It came in an old tool chest I got at an auction. Sharpened it and it is a nice sized knife to carry.
I was a submariner in the Navy and the first diesel electric sub I was on had 4 Fairbanks Morse opposed piston diesels. They were troublesome. The next sub I served on had 3 GM V-16 diesels which were loud but dependable. They had pistons a little larger than a 2 gallon bucket. Compressed air was used to roll them to get them started. Then I went to nuclear powered subs which had only a small auxilliary diesel for emergency use if necessary. The only time they ran was when they tested them periodically. I believe they were FM but not sure.
I have an oldtimer pocket knife which was my grandfathers. I' so its a fairly old version 65. Just a coincidence that as i was watching your video about pocket knives i glanced over at the pocket knife sitting on my desk and it happened to be my grandfathers knife.
I have heard of air compressor explosions in paint and body shops when the compressor was in the spray booth. Compressing the flammable over spray in the air,making the compressor a bomb. True or not I do not know. Makes sense though. Good show.thanks Jim
Good video. I think that the black cast hammer deterioration may be from water -- urethane breaks down like that in a wet environment. The orange plastic hammer is simply the wrong material for that use. You're right about the compressors, on various Air Force bases over my many years, there were many injuries due to tire, compressor tank, and other high pressure container accidents. I once had a 3-ton truck brake pressure tank blow up on me while driving. Now they limit normally charged compressors for tools and shops to 40 psi, although they prefer 25 if the shop can get away with it. For higher pressure ratings they often use tankless systems, and safety cages when there is potential for explosion -- like large aircraft tires.
Hi Mr Pete if you could access through one of the outlets with a inspection camera could maybe help or have it tested for thickness . i know the county inspector came around every five years to test the compressors at work . Also keep your eye out for a newer used tank at the dump or somewhere .My old craftsman was dated 1969 i found a newer tank for it . First thing to go on new ones is the motor or comp. junk.
I carry a Swiss army pocket knife (Spartan) for years, as it is sharpened the blade tip catches in your pocket or on your hand Fixed by filing the flat area on the blade side to allow the blade to ‘flatten’ into the knife body
I tried Rumble but it was a net loss for me as I paid for the month and earned $0.00. As long as people can see your videos on youtube no one is going to go to the trouble to go to Rumble. I really enjoyed your video today. Keep on keeping on.
I may be mistaken, but I think the diesel engine you showed running actually has 4 valves per cylinder, 2 each for intake and exhaust, driven from one rocker by a bridge piece. The middle rocker drives a "unit injector" consisting of a pump plunger and a nozzle, and shoots the fuel in at the proper time. Check to see if I am correct. Cheers, Dave
The middle rocker on the EMD is for the fuel injector. It appears to be a four valve head, the outside rockers look like they're depressing two valves each.
I use to have to milk cows when I was younger. The bag balm is great for teets in the winter. They would get chapped from the cleaning and moisture twice a day from milking them. I would hate to see what would happen without it.
Regarding the air tank explosive device... Several months ago I watched a series of You Tube videos on early British locomotives. During one of the videos, the narrator mentioned rather substantial divots/dents at the bottom of the large air tanks along the side of the engine. He stated that they were "weak points" so that if the tank rusted to the point of rupture, the holes would fail first and relieve pressure without rupturing the entire tank. Just thought this was interesting and somewhat related to your comments...
We used bag balm in the dairy on udders and our hands, in those days it had mercury in it. I am completing a Hemingwat die filer I bought myself for xmas this year. Rumble is just hard to search. Format is their problem.
I have a large bevel gear pattern that came from my Grandmother's antique shop. About 8" diameter and 2" thick. No telling the origin of it, my grandparents bought and sold antiques for most of the 20th century.
In the beginning of this video , I said out loud, why did are you videoing just from your mouth down...lol then I scrolled my screen...all good..my bad...good video Mr Pete
Oh and as long as your air compressor has a properly working pressure relief valve I wouldn't loose any sleep. That compressor looks like an over pressurization failure for sure. I once tried looking for documented evidence of air tank failures strictly from corrosion and could find very little actual evidence. Millions of road tractors drive up and down the road everyday and you never hear about catastrophic corrosion tank failures on them. A proper pressure vessel should start leaking from corrosion damage long before it catastrophically fails.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, that perhaps the pressure relief valve was stuck. When my tank started leaking, it was a tiny pinhole. But it is a very impressive explosion. Nice job on that forklift engine
On the 2 stroke diesels , the 2 outer rockers open exhaust valves and the middle opens the injector. The cylinder sleeves contain the intake ports . Every revolution is a power stroke .
I own a couple of drawers full of dead blows, most of them Snap-On. When Snap-On introduced their version I purchased several in orange and at least one in black. Everyone of those hammers failed. Everyone failed the same way, the plastic disintegrated as Lyle showed us. I never had a failure in use. I picked it up and it was coming apart. Snap-On readily warranted each failure and replaced each one with their red and black version. I continued to purchase the red and black version and now own 16 or 18 soft faced and hard faced Snap-On. I have never had another failure. Some of those are 20 years old now??? I figured that they finally got the plastic chemistry right, and introduced their early versions without knowledge that in time their plastic would fail. I have a handful of other plastic dead blow hammers that have not failed. These are Stanley and Marco. I prefer the size, weight, fit and finish of Snap-On over other brands, and if you shop Snap-On sales you can get them cheaper than other major brands... Very uncommon in the Snap-On product line. When I started moving to plastic dead blow hammers 35 years ago I had been using products like NUPLA that used replaceable faces with an aluminum head, fiberglass handle and rubber grip. These failed too, but these failures were undersized handle failures. Snap-On remains my go to hammers, especially for dead bow. I still keep and use conventional style hammers with wood, fiberglass and wood handles, but dead blow normally fits my need the best. The best wood handled hammer makers still struggle with heads that loosen. Steel hammers are supposed to give you wrist and forearm problems, and likely do for full time framers. I still favor Estwing for carpentry, Vaughn for this and that, Proto occasionally. I am ashamed to admit it, but I still like a Craftsman fiberglass handled ballpeen I purchased in the 1970's. I suspect that it is a Vaughn product. Well this rant is to validate that several makers have solved the plastic failure problems with the plastíc dead blow design. Turn in your failed Snap-On for the red and black style. They are wonderful tools now.
Victorinox makes pretty respectable commercial kitchen cutlery from my experience. I don’t know much about the pocket knives but they do know they’re way around making a blade.
Hello, if you lock closer at your Swedish Normark knife, you might appreciate that kind of stainless steel! By the way, your knife origins from Eskilstuna, same city as CEJ (C.E.Johansson) where the gage blocks were developed. Nowdays the knives are branded EKA, not sure if those are even made in Europe...
I believe I have a casting specialties swivel vise. I will try to post some pictures on vintage machinery. Everything is just a little bit off like a student worked on it.
Hi Mr Pete, thanks for the video, if I were you I'd be wanting to know what was going on inside your compressor receiver, unlike alot of machines that give you some warning of impending failure, ,pressure vessels tend to take you by surprise, as per your picture, I'd hate to hear you'd been blown up, literally. As a side note I once witnessed a full oxygen bottle from a welding set fall from a crane, on landing it smashed the neck valve off, and shot off like a torpedo, it took out two walls before it stopped, luckily no one got hurt. Stay safe my friend,best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
I JUST HAVE TO POINT OUT AT 18:42 at the right hand end of the books, there's books: 1. Hardening, Tempering & Heat treatment. 2. Soldering and Brazing. Both of these books are by the genuine TUBAL CAIN ! In MrPete, I thought I'd found the author - and was SO disappointed I hadn't. The author is long-since dead.
Those V-24 diesel engines have four valves per cylinder (all exhaust) and each center rocker arm is operating the plunger on top of the (in the center of the four valves) fuel injector. Rumble has no commercials and we are sick and tired of the growing numerous interruption for commercials on UTube! Ron W4BIN
Opinel is a good knife. Boka is good. But for all the negative comments about Imperial they farm alot of work out but the original factory in Providence RI still makes short runs of good quality pocket knives.
That is an impressive collection of foundry memorabilia. Unfortunately, most of the foundries represented are probably long gone. Your green compressor tank is a bomb waiting. You should hydro test the tank and do it on video. Lots of interest, I am sure. I have an old compressor I have turned off 'til I hydro test the tank.
I don't believe the EMD is three valves. Many years ago I worked on Detroit Diesels and this looks like the same valve arraignment. The two outside rockers operate two valves each, 4 valves, via a bridge and the center rocker operates the injector. Thanks for all the great videos.
Me too, high carbon steel is the only thing for a knife blade. Don’t get me wrong I love SS nuts, bolts, and screws and a bunch of other sh!t it’s great but it just doesn’t hold an edge.
So you're saying my dad's Jacuzzi-brand compressor from 1958 might be a time-bomb?? Incredible pattern display! I worked in a pattern shop for a summer in 1981 and kept a few of the items that I had screwed up. We did a number of train wheels for local large scale modelers too.... Like TrainGuy Dave of Mercer Locomotive.
Just an FYI, IL requires a CCL for that Italian POS auto opener in the vid. Of course you have one of those. Just don't want the man beating down your door...again...
I am curious about the thickness of the steel on the air compressor tank. I think it is a major factor. There's a few good videos of pressure testing tank with a pressure washer on RUclips.
Agree with you,Carl. I've seen that compressor tank explosion video before and the steel looks about the same thickness as tissue paper. There is a very suspect seam weld also. The receiver on my little compressor is vastly thicker walled section than that destroyed one in the video.
Hi Mr. Pete. I’ve been watching for a while especially the old South Bend lathe videos since I am in the market for one, This video is THIS & THAT, I have a question about This or That! I’ve found two near me that I hope you can give some guidance on. One is a 16/24 from the 1950s. It looks old and dirty but it does run, It does not seem too overworked or worn under the dirt that I can see. It comes with a chuck and a few tool holders only. The other is one I’ve heard of but can find no video or information on; a 13 METRIC South Bend. I was told it might be from the late 1970s or early 80s (large dials, lever clutch). It is much cleaner and fresher looking. Almost for sure would not require a rebuild/restoration (the other might - could use a thorough cleaning for sure). The 13 metric lathe comes with more accessories like a steady rest and tail chucks, one three jaw chuck, etc. Both are 6 feet. BOTH have taper attachments. I am sort of torn between them. I’d like a bigger lathe for potentially bigger work but not immediately necessary. Also the 16/24 is about $500 more. Now if you won’t comment on one vs the other, can you give an opinion or information on the metric one? I’ve heard of people being able to thread metric on and imperial. Is it possible to thread imperial on a metic lathe? As I said, I can’t seem to find much information besides “yes, they exist”. Where could I find support (parts?) if I get the 13 metric? My other question is about motors. The 16/24 has a Single phase motor installed so I could bring that to the garage and plug it in. The 13 metric has a Three phase motor. So now I have to add the expense of another motor or VFD, etc. Any thoughts on these choices? Thank you for you videos and indirect support of machines and the pros and tinkerers who love them. Take care and stay safe, Cheers
I would favor the 13 inch, even though it is metric. Would require a phase converter for a few hundred dollars. And just how often do you actually thread where you would need imperial? And you said it comes with a lot more accessories. It’s a tough call but I like the smaller one
@@mrpete222 Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate an educated and experienced point of view here. With all your experience, you say it's a tough call. Now pretend, on this subject, your brain is pristine; a brand new note book. Every page completely blank! So you can imagine my befuddlement and high level of confustication! Thank you for helping to cure some of my ignorance. Take care and stay safe, Cheers

If you're there when one blows, you never forget it. Steam is even worse as it scalds as well. I have a friend who used an old hot water tank in his shop. When it blew the bottom out, it tore out of the piping, went through the roof and came down in the middle of the state highway about 100 ft out front. Enjoy the syrup, I see its the dark full-flavored variety that's oh so good. Light syrup is all the rage these days and a couple of us used to make about 350 gallons a season here on the Champion peak of the Tug Hill in northern NY. But we always preferred the dark, especially for sugar cakes YUM!
Beautiful photos
5:00 Yes, catalogues - I remember the dog-eared RS catalogues back in the day. (RS components - Radio Spares they were known originally - sort of equivalent to your Radio Shack)
Best thing about Rumble is no ad interruptions even on the free version.
It's always a pleasure - your videos are always good to the last frame. (I hope that coffee company doesn't sue me now. :) )
lol
Love the Buck 503 prince. Has great edge retention and size.
The 20 cylinder EMD engine had trouble with torsional crankshaft vibration. The ones that were on locomotives were scrapped and replaced with V16s a long time ago.
I love the online Mcmaster Carr catalogue as you can download the digital part and 3d print them or CNC mill them, of course with some applications you are better off with the real metal part, I also use the digital models when designing things in CAD as it saves so much time, you can also install the catalogue as a plug-in in Fusion 360
Glad you are at Rumble...it takes time. Let people know you are there.
Lyle - a day late but I have to mention the knife I am carrying now. A Kabar 1052. Old and carbon steel, two blades with the longest being 2 inches. It came in an old tool chest I got at an auction. Sharpened it and it is a nice sized knife to carry.
Brian from Ma.Great video lol and stills at end simpley amazing THANK YOU Besafe
I was a submariner in the Navy and the first diesel electric sub I was on had 4 Fairbanks Morse opposed piston diesels. They were troublesome. The next sub I served on had 3 GM V-16 diesels which were loud but dependable. They had pistons a little larger than a 2 gallon bucket. Compressed air was used to roll them to get them started. Then I went to nuclear powered subs which had only a small auxilliary diesel for emergency use if necessary. The only time they ran was when they tested them periodically. I believe they were FM but not sure.
I have an oldtimer pocket knife which was my grandfathers. I' so its a fairly old version 65. Just a coincidence that as i was watching your video about pocket knives i glanced over at the pocket knife sitting on my desk and it happened to be my grandfathers knife.
👍👍
I have heard of air compressor explosions in paint and body shops when the compressor was in the spray booth. Compressing the flammable over spray in the air,making the compressor a bomb. True or not I do not know. Makes sense though. Good show.thanks Jim
Good video. I think that the black cast hammer deterioration may be from water -- urethane breaks down like that in a wet environment. The orange plastic hammer is simply the wrong material for that use. You're right about the compressors, on various Air Force bases over my many years, there were many injuries due to tire, compressor tank, and other high pressure container accidents. I once had a 3-ton truck brake pressure tank blow up on me while driving. Now they limit normally charged compressors for tools and shops to 40 psi, although they prefer 25 if the shop can get away with it. For higher pressure ratings they often use tankless systems, and safety cages when there is potential for explosion -- like large aircraft tires.
It would be a very interesting and useful if you would make a video of you using your endoscope to look at that old green air compressor tank.
Hi Mr Pete if you could access through one of the outlets with a inspection camera could maybe help or have it tested for thickness . i know the county inspector came around every five years to test the compressors at work . Also keep your eye out for a newer used tank at the dump or somewhere .My old craftsman was dated 1969 i found a newer tank for it . First thing to go on new ones is the motor or comp. junk.
I carry a Swiss army pocket knife (Spartan) for years, as it is sharpened the blade tip catches in your pocket or on your hand
Fixed by filing the flat area on the blade side to allow the blade to ‘flatten’ into the knife body
I tried Rumble but it was a net loss for me as I paid for the month and earned $0.00. As long as people can see your videos on youtube no one is going to go to the trouble to go to Rumble. I really enjoyed your video today. Keep on keeping on.
I’m a huge Buck fan. I carry one just like the one you carry and also a Buck that clips on my pocket. So a Buck in each pocket.
I may be mistaken, but I think the diesel engine you showed running actually has 4 valves per cylinder, 2 each for intake and exhaust, driven from one rocker by a bridge piece.
The middle rocker drives a "unit injector" consisting of a pump plunger and a nozzle, and shoots the fuel in at the proper time.
Check to see if I am correct.
Cheers,
Dave
The middle rocker on the EMD is for the fuel injector. It appears to be a four valve head, the outside rockers look like they're depressing two valves each.
The castings were totally amazing thanks for sharing :-)
I use to have to milk cows when I was younger. The bag balm is great for teets in the winter. They would get chapped from the cleaning and moisture twice a day from milking them. I would hate to see what would happen without it.
Good morning, Sir!☕🧰
Regarding the air tank explosive device... Several months ago I watched a series of You Tube videos on early British locomotives. During one of the videos, the narrator mentioned rather substantial divots/dents at the bottom of the large air tanks along the side of the engine. He stated that they were "weak points" so that if the tank rusted to the point of rupture, the holes would fail first and relieve pressure without rupturing the entire tank. Just thought this was interesting and somewhat related to your comments...
We used bag balm in the dairy on udders and our hands, in those days it had mercury in it. I am completing a Hemingwat die filer I bought myself for xmas this year. Rumble is just hard to search. Format is their problem.
I have a large bevel gear pattern that came from my Grandmother's
antique shop. About 8" diameter and 2" thick. No telling the origin of
it, my grandparents bought and sold antiques for most of the 20th
century.
👍
Very interesting casting stuff ,I wish I could find one of those allen wrench stars. Thanks
Thanks for sharing! Did EMD shut down their Engine Plant there in Illinois?
In the beginning of this video , I said out loud, why did are you videoing just from your mouth down...lol then I scrolled my screen...all good..my bad...good video Mr Pete
Oh and as long as your air compressor has a properly working pressure relief valve I wouldn't loose any sleep. That compressor looks like an over pressurization failure for sure. I once tried looking for documented evidence of air tank failures strictly from corrosion and could find very little actual evidence. Millions of road tractors drive up and down the road everyday and you never hear about catastrophic corrosion tank failures on them. A proper pressure vessel should start leaking from corrosion damage long before it catastrophically fails.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, that perhaps the pressure relief valve was stuck. When my tank started leaking, it was a tiny pinhole. But it is a very impressive explosion. Nice job on that forklift engine
On the 2 stroke diesels , the 2 outer rockers open exhaust valves and the middle opens the injector. The cylinder sleeves contain the intake ports . Every revolution is a power stroke .
It only takes about 5psi of over pressure to blow out the windows. Still here. Love all the casting photos.
i had a snap on dead blow come apart with very little use
I own a couple of drawers full of dead blows, most of them Snap-On. When Snap-On introduced their version I purchased several in orange and at least one in black. Everyone of those hammers failed. Everyone failed the same way, the plastic disintegrated as Lyle showed us. I never had a failure in use. I picked it up and it was coming apart. Snap-On readily warranted each failure and replaced each one with their red and black version. I continued to purchase the red and black version and now own 16 or 18 soft faced and hard faced Snap-On. I have never had another failure. Some of those are 20 years old now??? I figured that they finally got the plastic chemistry right, and introduced their early versions without knowledge that in time their plastic would fail. I have a handful of other plastic dead blow hammers that have not failed. These are Stanley and Marco. I prefer the size, weight, fit and finish of Snap-On over other brands, and if you shop Snap-On sales you can get them cheaper than other major brands... Very uncommon in the Snap-On product line. When I started moving to plastic dead blow hammers 35 years ago I had been using products like NUPLA that used replaceable faces with an aluminum head, fiberglass handle and rubber grip. These failed too, but these failures were undersized handle failures. Snap-On remains my go to hammers, especially for dead bow. I still keep and use conventional style hammers with wood, fiberglass and wood handles, but dead blow normally fits my need the best. The best wood handled hammer makers still struggle with heads that loosen. Steel hammers are supposed to give you wrist and forearm problems, and likely do for full time framers. I still favor Estwing for carpentry, Vaughn for this and that, Proto occasionally. I am ashamed to admit it, but I still like a Craftsman fiberglass handled ballpeen I purchased in the 1970's. I suspect that it is a Vaughn product.
Well this rant is to validate that several makers have solved the plastic failure problems with the plastíc dead blow design. Turn in your failed Snap-On for the red and black style. They are wonderful tools now.
Victorinox makes pretty respectable commercial kitchen cutlery from
my experience. I don’t know much about the pocket knives but they do know they’re way around making a blade.
Hello, if you lock closer at your Swedish Normark knife, you might appreciate that kind of stainless steel! By the way, your knife origins from Eskilstuna, same city as CEJ (C.E.Johansson) where the gage blocks were developed. Nowdays the knives are branded EKA, not sure if those are even made in Europe...
I believe I have a casting specialties swivel vise. I will try to post some pictures on vintage machinery. Everything is just a little bit off like a student worked on it.
Hi Mr Pete, thanks for the video, if I were you I'd be wanting to know what was going on inside your compressor receiver, unlike alot of machines that give you some warning of impending failure, ,pressure vessels tend to take you by surprise, as per your picture, I'd hate to hear you'd been blown up, literally. As a side note I once witnessed a full oxygen bottle from a welding set fall from a crane, on landing it smashed the neck valve off, and shot off like a torpedo, it took out two walls before it stopped, luckily no one got hurt. Stay safe my friend,best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
Good Morning Lyle
Hey viewers, check out Mr. Pete 222 on Rumble. Thanks Lyle, for giving us another option.
Rumble what and who? That huge diesel makes me like them more. I truly love the collection too.
👍
Leatherman. So much better than the average pocket knife.
I JUST HAVE TO POINT OUT AT 18:42 at the right hand end of the books, there's books:
1. Hardening, Tempering & Heat treatment.
2. Soldering and Brazing.
Both of these books are by the genuine TUBAL CAIN !
In MrPete, I thought I'd found the author - and was SO disappointed I hadn't. The author is long-since dead.
mr pete your the best !
Thanks
Those V-24 diesel engines have four valves per cylinder (all exhaust) and each center rocker arm is operating the plunger on top of the (in the center of the four valves) fuel injector. Rumble has no commercials and we are sick and tired of the growing numerous interruption for commercials on UTube! Ron W4BIN
Yep 4 valves and a unit injector is what I thought.
I'm pretty sure a bunch of others already mentioned the same but even the most basic ad blocker makes watching youtube bearable again.
So how do they get oxygen into the cylinders ?
@@millomweb Ports over top of the piston thru the cylinder wall at bottom dead center combined with a supercharger to fill and scavange.
@@bcbloc02 Sounds like it's heading to be not far off a 2-stroke :)
Cheers.
Opinel is a good knife. Boka is good. But for all the negative comments about Imperial they farm alot of work out but the original factory in Providence RI still makes short runs of good quality pocket knives.
That is an impressive collection of foundry memorabilia. Unfortunately, most of the foundries represented are probably long gone. Your green compressor tank is a bomb waiting. You should hydro test the tank and do it on video. Lots of interest, I am sure. I have an old compressor I have turned off 'til I hydro test the tank.
I don't believe the EMD is three valves. Many years ago I worked on Detroit Diesels and this looks like the same valve arraignment. The two outside rockers operate two valves each, 4 valves, via a bridge and the center rocker operates the injector. Thanks for all the great videos.
Me too, high carbon steel is the only thing for a knife blade.
Don’t get me wrong I love SS nuts, bolts, and screws and a bunch of other sh!t it’s great but it just doesn’t hold an edge.
So you're saying my dad's Jacuzzi-brand compressor from 1958 might be a time-bomb?? Incredible pattern display! I worked in a pattern shop for a summer in 1981 and kept a few of the items that I had screwed up. We did a number of train wheels for local large scale modelers too.... Like TrainGuy Dave of Mercer Locomotive.
👍👍
Just an FYI, IL requires a CCL for that Italian POS auto opener in the vid. Of course you have one of those. Just don't want the man beating down your door...again...
Love my Spyderco knives
Yep, still here. 😀
I am curious about the thickness of the steel on the air compressor tank. I think it is a major factor. There's a few good videos of pressure testing tank with a pressure washer on RUclips.
Agree with you,Carl. I've seen that compressor tank explosion video before and the steel looks about the same thickness as tissue paper. There is a very suspect seam weld also. The receiver on my little compressor is vastly thicker walled section than that destroyed one in the video.
Hi Mr. Pete. I’ve been watching for a while especially the old South Bend lathe videos since I am in the market for one, This video is THIS & THAT, I have a question about This or That!
I’ve found two near me that I hope you can give some guidance on. One is a 16/24 from the 1950s. It looks old and dirty but it does run, It does not seem too overworked or worn under the dirt that I can see. It comes with a chuck and a few tool holders only. The other is one I’ve heard of but can find no video or information on; a 13 METRIC South Bend. I was told it might be from the late 1970s or early 80s (large dials, lever clutch). It is much cleaner and fresher looking. Almost for sure would not require a rebuild/restoration (the other might - could use a thorough cleaning for sure). The 13 metric lathe comes with more accessories like a steady rest and tail chucks, one three jaw chuck, etc. Both are 6 feet. BOTH have taper attachments. I am sort of torn between them. I’d like a bigger lathe for potentially bigger work but not immediately necessary. Also the 16/24 is about $500 more.
Now if you won’t comment on one vs the other, can you give an opinion or information on the metric one? I’ve heard of people being able to thread metric on and imperial. Is it possible to thread imperial on a metic lathe? As I said, I can’t seem to find much information besides “yes, they exist”. Where could I find support (parts?) if I get the 13 metric?
My other question is about motors. The 16/24 has a Single phase motor installed so I could bring that to the garage and plug it in. The 13 metric has a Three phase motor. So now I have to add the expense of another motor or VFD, etc. Any thoughts on these choices?
Thank you for you videos and indirect support of machines and the pros and tinkerers who love them.
Take care and stay safe,
Cheers
I would favor the 13 inch, even though it is metric. Would require a phase converter for a few hundred dollars. And just how often do you actually thread where you would need imperial? And you said it comes with a lot more accessories. It’s a tough call but I like the smaller one
@@mrpete222 Thank you for your feedback.
I really appreciate an educated and experienced point of view here.
With all your experience, you say it's a tough call. Now pretend, on this subject, your brain is pristine; a brand new note book. Every page completely blank! So you can imagine my befuddlement and high level of confustication!
Thank you for helping to cure some of my ignorance.
Take care and stay safe,
Cheers
(typing as I watch) I remember the canned juice! And it later came here in small plastic bags. There was a factory some blocks from my current house
@@PerspectiveEngineer I'm not sure I understand you completely. This one was called 'Ju-Frut'.
btw, nice van.
at 16:00 one is an injector.
