    Great tip about welding the pipe on to support the punch, my little finger's still not right from when I was holding a punch while my son wielded the sledge last August. He glanced off the cleat on the tractor tyre a few belts in and sent the hammer onto my hand !

    Good job snowy. Your right on when you say that's how it goes when you have to do a bit more work to make a new Bush it does happen in repair. Best not to assume anything with repairs. That's why it is hard to give an accurate price. Some people do not understand this. Family run car repair garage for 30 years. A real eye opener. Mark and ruth. Ps love your new line borer by the way.

      Very difficult to give an accurate price, too much can do wrong. Luckily most of my work doesn’t require giving a quote, it just needs doing.
      I bet it is! The average car owner has no idea what’s involved under the bonnet. Thanks for watching!

    A very good demo of the lance - but what does the machine that supplies it look like? Is it just a welder? Perhaps with different settings? It would be lovely to see the whole repair.

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад +6

      There isn’t a machine that supplies it. You connect it to a 12v car battery to strike it and once it’s lit, it’s just the oxygen supply that keeps it going.

    It would be easy to tack weld a simple guide made from scrap when you need to keep the lance centered. Holding both hands in space is inherently innacurate but a guide would make it easy.
    You could use a punch or other tapered object in the guide to center the guide on the pin for tacking. Doesn't cost but a few minutes and avoids rework.

    Hi great video, don't see many of those lances in action much so was v interesting. I haven't watched all your videos but maybe a hydraulic press ( large as possible lol) might be in your future to help with these things. I know ours does. As soon as you got the arm out it would have been simple job. Also love your determination in getting things done. 👍

Check it out you may enjoy it. Not really much to do with welding. I’m 58 and retired from the U.S. Army and bought a Lincoln welder and trying to learn. The TIG welding is VERY confusing to me, mainly what to do with all the settings.

    Rust sure can wedge things together eh? I have managed to lance out 3/4"(19mm) pins without too much unwanted destruction of the part I wanted to save. But it does not take long for things to go completely awry if you are not fairly straight. Oxy lance and it's river of molten magma has no mercy! Good stuff

    • @snowballengineering
      @snowballengineering  Год назад

      Unbelievable how tight rust can make things. How much oxygen pressure were you using on the 3/4 pins? Think I’d of maybe got a better result with less oxygen.

    I presume the notion of farmers doing routine oiling/greasing on their plant would have a negative effect on your business.
    Well, better to watch someone else washing and polishing their Range Rovers than getting dirty looking after their plant.
    Interesting video, thanks for that.

      @@snowballengineering : Hi, You asked for comments on your videos. You'll be aware on YT, no doubt, of Kurtis at CEE in Aus. A difference I think you need to highlight is the awful UK weather conditions you need to do farming plant work in without always the benefit of a nice big, near clinical, working environment in sunny hot T shirt conditions. There is the technical job,........ and then there is the adverse conditions you need to complete the job within which is what usually makes any job, no matter how simple, a nightmare to do and is actually the real story. I think this aspect needs to be highlighted. All success to you!
