Nice to see you back in the workshop Ade. Don't think anyone could accuse you of not pushing that lathe to its limits! Nice job, hand powered screw cutting looks really controlled, like you say "removes the drama". Cheers, Jon
Good to see you back and well , like the workshop pot plant ! Maybe you should spend a few minutes cutting back the garden growth ! All the best and hope to see you again soon .
Nice job Ade, lathe working hard there. Tip for anyone who is interested, fit a 2 flute slot / end mill in the tool post, and use it to plunge in, the index towards you to act as a boring bar. Thanks for sharing.
Ha ha Richard. I'm still alive and kicking! My hit n miss conrod keeps on getting delayed due to external factors..... failed PC, DIY, tooling not arriving in the post, holidays etc. ☹️ All the best. Andrew
Hi Adrian. Really nice work on remaking the new unit. I like your Crank Handle for that bit of manual threading. Full Points. Be safe & keep up the good work
Hi Adrian it’s great to see you. I think my next project is going to be an expanding mandrel that I can hook the handle up to and hand thread. Brilliant idea. I miss your regular videos but I happier to hear your back at work. Take it slow it takes time to get back to where you were performing before you had to stop I know this from experience. Cheers my friend
Nice little project, I do love making thread adapters myself. When figuring a tap drill size, my dad taught me metric was so easy, because drill size equalled thread diameter minus pitch for 75% thread depth , just like you did with your chart. This method works very well if you are making a bastard or custom thread , say 3"- 2mm pitch. The math also works for imperial threads, say 1"8 tpi tap drill = 7/8" Enjoyed the video, cheers!
I do try to aim at learners a bit so It is good to explain how it can be worked out by referring to charts etc , I am like you in that I retain it in my head and have little cheats etc. we never stop learning and retaining information when it is a passion . Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug You are welcome. I have lots of videos that I need to post but I have a few up already. I have a couple of LeBlond lathes that I restored lately and other things...
I think the answer is yes, it is fine for setting up repetitive work but it does limit flexibility. going forward i think i will make another QCTP that has a turned circular portion on the bottom that can be rotated . that said I may re engineer the lot , lol. Cheers Ade.
oh my gosh , so long ago . i did make it in an early video , i will take a look into the past .my original one I gave away and I have one that a viewer made for me now.
Nice job Ade 👍 When you were rough cutting the ally at the beginning I was thinking, I bet that motors getting hot 😮 Yes, I'm a little paranoid about WM 180 motors these days 🙂 Cheers, Alan.
Thanks for this new video sir. I always look forward to and enjoy your videos. I have watched nearly all of them, and subscribed of course. My only complaint is I find myself saying "aluminEEum" at times. I can relate to the fatigue. My workshop is in basement and through the work week I rarely have the motivation to get down there. You and I are close in age so I completely understand. Best regards from Pennsylvania, USA.
Hi ADE... Nice to see you again, was wondering where you had got to! Thought the wife had thrown you out, and you had to find a discrete lamp post to hot wire ya lathe up! I'm still having a few probs on getting a decent finish on steel... bloody thing! I'm retired now, but the wife keeps me so busy, I hardly get time to bugger about in the workshop! Hope to see you again soon... Frank...
Hi Frank good to hear from you . all is good here . email me a video of when you are turning steel and I may be able to give you some pointers . Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug Hahaha, e-mail a vid to you ADE... No idea how to do that! Ade, have you thought of getting a Discord account, I can at least post pics on that! Plus you could have a live Q and A, It's another meeting place, where we can post comments, Ideas, live chat ect... Take a few mins to suss it out chap! See what you think... Frank...
Ade, Why do you stop when get close using the ball bearing race trick just keep going slowly till the job runs true then lock chuck up. Also brilliant working on a disc job or the face to run true
I agree . it can be a little harsh on my little lathe to push it to true sometimes . I guess I may have had mechanical sympathy as my chuck was a little tight on this occasion . it is a great way to true up stock very accurately I agree. Cheers Ade.
Ade How are they going to tighten this into the fitting? Maybe put in a couple holes for pin spanner? I am only guessing, but it looks like the original had slots across the rear protrusion, for tightening? John
Hi Ade I was wondering if you know that your calipers have a depth gauge on the other end ? The bit the sticks out on the end is an easier way to measure depth then the front jaws.
the front jaws get a more accurate measurement as there is a wider surface to get them square to the face , the long probe on the end is very useful for hole depth though . cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug :) it was a tongue in cheek comment. It just tickled me when I saw you measure using the jaws. Though to be pedantic they both give the same reading. Either way man good work and I mean no harm. Thumbs up
You just helped me out a lot on threading. I have a DRO to help. Brilliant!
Glad to have helped . Cheers Ade
Thanks for the no nonsense approach to your video, love the 'harsh' lathe work - drive it like you stole it! :)
Great work Ades. Great hand threading. Thank you for sharing.
I do like that hand powered threading ! so much control !
It is a great way to give beginners the confidence to move forwards without the risk of a crash. Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug thank you sir for showing how to do it .
ADE, your alive!!!!!! thank God...... we all missed you. WORK sucks........But we have to pay the Bills...
Good to see you Ade. I like your method of the hand driven threading especially up to the shoulder. Turned out well, nice little job. Tony
Thanks 👍 Tony. I think it is a good way for beginners to have some control . Cheers Ade.
Nice to see you back in the workshop Ade. Don't think anyone could accuse you of not pushing that lathe to its limits! Nice job, hand powered screw cutting looks really controlled, like you say "removes the drama". Cheers, Jon

My indoor garden feature . lol. Cheers Ade.
He was turning some green wood methinks. 🤔
Thanks for the video Ade. Glad to have you back. Nice to see the old lathe in use again. Keep safe and stay well.
Thanks Colin.
Good to have you back , always a pleasure to watch.
Nice job Ade, lathe working hard there.
Tip for anyone who is interested, fit a 2 flute slot / end mill in the tool post, and use it to plunge in, the index towards you to act as a boring bar.
Thanks for sharing.
Good tip! sounds like I will give it a go . nice one , Cheers Ade.
Hi Ade,
Good to have you back… nice little adaptor…
Take care
Paul,,
Cheers Paul,
30:50 Thanks! it was killing me not knowing what it was. Love the channel, I really like that hand crank, I might have to sort myself one out.
Thank you very much for all of the effort to make these tremendous videos. Cheers
My pleasure! Cheers Ade.
Love the way this looks! Thanks for making this video.
You are so welcome!, Cheers Ade.
Great result Ade!
All the best.
Andrew
Thanks Andrew and I am told it fitted fine. Happy days. Cheers Ade.
Good to see you here, Andrew.

Glad to see you back, Ade! Really like the hand threading!
Hey, thanks! Tom . it is good for beginners who need to get confidence in set up etc, Cheers Ade.
Nice little project! I love when I can make some simple thing like that for someone.
Me too. It is fun and is good for the soul to help out . Cheers Ade.
Hi Adrian. Really nice work on remaking the new unit. I like your Crank Handle for that bit of manual threading. Full Points. Be safe & keep up the good work
Thanks 👍 Ted . take care yourself , I have a feeling we have a way to go yet , Cheers Ade.
Good to see you back Ade. Another great video. Cheers.
Thanks 👍

Sounds great! good to hear from you Kimber. Cheers Ade.
I see the ivy is making it's way in again 😊
Nice video again. 👍
She gets everywhere!
yes it is . i have cleared the outside , cheers Ade.

Nice little job that one Ade, I especially like he greenery you'v got going on there. and I hope the fish appreciate what you'v made for them.
Thanks David and I am told it fitted great , bonus . Cheers Ade.
Just found your channel, enjoyed the turning so I subbed! Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome, thank you Danny , lots of turning and milling to come , Cheers Ade.
@@ade63dug You are welcome. I have lots of videos that I need to post but I have a few up already. I have a couple of LeBlond lathes that I restored lately and other things...
Now that you have some time on the compound replacement how do you like it? Do you ever wish you could rotate the tool holder a little?
I think the answer is yes, it is fine for setting up repetitive work but it does limit flexibility. going forward i think i will make another QCTP that has a turned circular portion on the bottom that can be rotated . that said I may re engineer the lot , lol. Cheers Ade.
Add, is that ivy growing by the lathe? Going green eh? Ha! Pretty work!
Hi Tom . Doing my bit for the environment . Cheers Ade.
Where did you get or how did you make that handle for manually turning the spindle. That looks super handy.
oh my gosh , so long ago . i did make it in an early video , i will take a look into the past .my original one I gave away and I have one that a viewer made for me now.

found it
@@ade63dug Magic thanks Ade.
Can understand the knackered after work, I have found the same since my return.
Great video man, keep'um coming.
Appreciate it!. Cheers Ade.
Nice job Ade 👍 When you were rough cutting the ally at the beginning I was thinking, I bet that motors getting hot 😮 Yes, I'm a little paranoid about WM 180 motors these days 🙂 Cheers, Alan.
yes indeed, it was belt slip that was happening rather than overloading the motor , it maybe a good thing considering, . cheers Ade
Very interesting project thanks Ade
Glad you enjoyed it, Cheers Ade.
Nice Job Ade!
Steve
Thanks Steve , means a lot , Cheers Ade.
Ey up Ade great to see you back brother

Thanks for the sub! I guess you are of the Aloominum school. TomAtoes . TomaRtoes . all good fun wherever we are. Cheers Ade.
naughty naughty no cut fingers great video thanks for the effort
No worries, I know I show some bad practice sometimes . but 40 years later and all my fingers working well. Cheers Ade.
Nice bit of indoor ivy Ade.
Yes it was!. at least it does not need watering , lol. Cheers Ade.
Hi ADE...

Welcome back. nice to see you. buddy hope all is well.
Thanks! You too!

Hello !! Tell me, which electric motor is on your machine? Pulls well !!
ades and dobleboost are the best.
We have got to love John Mills. Cheers Ade.
Nice job again.
Thank you! Cheers!

John
the fitting that fits in the hole has a hex that will be used to screw the part in and itself so no worries. cheers Ade
@@ade63dug That's ok until you want to get it out. If the centre piece comes out and leaves the outer part in, how do you get that bit out?
Where did the handle come from? I must of mist a show?
way back , cheers Ade
Witam z Polski lubię ludzi uśmiechniętych jesteśmy w podobnym wieku musimy coś robić aby się nie zastać (zdziadzieć ) pozdrawiam miłego dnia i zdrówka
Cieszę się, że podobał Ci się film. Życzę Ci również zdrowia, przyjacielu. Twoje zdrowie . Ade
Nice job Ade. Just a bit of PTFE will stop any leaks.👍🏻
yes getting on a bit and tired, I know the feeling Ade.
Just coming into my prime, lol . Cheers Ade.
Nice job of banging that one out Ade! I see you share your shed with the shrubbery too :)
Oh yeah! Doing my bit for the environment . lol.
Hi Ade

Nice job Ade, can tell you don't use the lathe so much since doing the mill mods as there's ivy or bindweed about to grow over it 😃👍
Yes i have a constant fight with the ivy , adds character though, cheers Ade.
That lump of aluminium looks familiar.
sure was a bit of the bar you sent , cheers Ade
Brother Many of us fell the same!!!? Very very strange because even young people are telling me that they fell tired all the time and it is not normal
Hi Mamoshi, getting more used to it every day . I hope to start getting more video's up soon. Cheers Ade.
