    Hi. Saw the installation of this turn signal indicator on Paul Shinn’s 31 Ford Model A. Wanted to see how you so beautifully restored it. Pretty cool. Thanks for creating and posting the video…

    My father had a 2 ton Chevrolet back in the late 50's that had a very similar switch on it. It came from the factory with just a single tail light. He installed proper lights, himself; and the switch he used was almost exactly like that one. Pretty cool seeing one after all these years.

    I want to know where to find someone with the Cloudray Fiber Laser machine in case I need something like this created. That is so cool for reproducing tags that are not really restorable. Nice work on this restoration. I really like the fact there is no nonsense music or constant, meaningless filler talk. Thank you.

    I prefer drill press because the hands can be a little shaky. Nothing wrong with what You are doing and or trying to accomplish! I'm a manufacturing engineer so perfection is something that I try to always do.
    You are very good but more equipment to make it easier would help and I do know that it is all about money.
    Please don't take this comment wrong!!!
    Have a blessed day!

    Hey, Joe! Your drill bit needs sharpening. Oh, PLEASE! There is a product called, Rodico, that you can purchase online. I use it after learning that watchmakers use it to keep small parts from flying into the Cosmos! You could probably get away with using Playdough, too.

    Awesome! One question: what do you think would be the best way to stabilize a hollow letter made of thin metal (you know, the sort of letters used for cardinal directions in weathercocks, like W - west, S - south etc). This metal has holes and slits in some parts, and can break easily if I squeeze the letter a bit harder. I was thinking of pouring some epoxy inside, let it harden and then add some car epoxy filler to fill the remaining caverns, so I can sand and paint the whole thing afterwards. The only drawback is that epoxy is quite runny and I don't know how to prevent it from pouring back through these small holes and slits.What do you think? Is there a better way? Thank you!

    • @joe_diy
      @joe_diy  Год назад

      Thanks! What's the purpose of stabilizing?

    • @vsemprivet
      @vsemprivet Год назад

      @@joe_diy For some reason my reply desappears again and again )) So once again: I've got an old weathercock - you know, a figure of a cock that rotates because of the wind, and a cross with letters that show north, sough, east, west. The letters are made of thin tin metal and hollow (empty inside), and they are quite rusty and fragile. Also they have some holes and cracks along the edges. I wanted to squeeze/pour something like epoxy inside those letters to make them sturdy and kinda solid, so afrerwards I could put some metal filler on them, sand and paint them, drill some holes and fix them back on the weathercock. What do you think would be the best way to fix the letters? I understand the epoxy might not be the best option. Thank you very much!

    • @joe_diy
      @joe_diy  Год назад

      @@vsemprivet Sounds like you mainly need it sturdier for the restoration. You might be able to use sand casting mold sand and do a side at a time. Pack in sand on the cavity and use it as a temporary filling. Then flip and repeat

  • @opticaltrace4382
    @opticaltrace4382 Год назад

    Just so you know... That's not heat shrink tubing you're using there, it's nylon expandable sock. Heating it does nothing but melt it and make it less flexible. You should only apply heat to the cut ends to melt the fibres together to stop it fraying. Oh and your drill bit is worn out!

    • @joe_diy

      Thanks for the tip! That is actually heat shrink fabric, not expandable nylon. You can get it from buyheatshrink.com
