Alba crank handle from junk stuff.

My previous video was about fixing my shaper see…. “Alba 1A Shaper Fix’
at the end I hadn’t done anything with the crank handle, this short video shows you how I put one together using a bunch of un-used components.
I hope you enjoy.

[@camillosteuss]

Just remembered you today, i dont know why i didnt subscribe over a year ago, when i ran into your auto threading toolholder, but watching different qctp designs online yesterday i saw something similar and remembered you, went on youtube today, watched the vid again, had a laugh again and subbed... Glad to see you posting more nowadays than you did back then! You do have more than quite enjoyable content!
All the best and warmest regards,
Steuss

Hi, I’ve got a big project on hand at the moment and that probably means i’ll be off line for a little while while i get my latest project finished before I can get some more stuff uploaded. Cheers.

[@brucematthews6417]

Nice use of stuff on hand. I did something very similar for my own Alba. But being fresh out of cobbly looking old handles I used the flat bar option and made my own slip handle. Bonus though. The same wrench fits the locking rod for the tool slide ! ! !
Keep spreading the Alba Love ! ! !

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thanks and will do…. Cheers

[@oldschoolengineer58]

Something about seeing you put your gloves on the back of the vise triggered a very old memory for me. I can remember my grandfather and shop teacher and other old timers ending the day in the shop with just this motion. It seems like a very strange subtle thing to be so ubiquitous. Can you remember where you developed the habit? I wonder if it was demonstrated by some unusually widespread educational material or something

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, can’t remember when I first did that, but I do remember training with an old fella, he always put his crossed gloves on top of his tool chest at the end of the day… mind you he smoked a pipe and chewed on it all day long.

[@carlwilson1772]

Superb Paul, thank you.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, Thanks.
