Keith, been watching you for years. If you remember I sent you some BBQ Sauce. Watching you with this build, your a wizard in your applications. What’s the best part of your videos, is that the new or younger machinists watching you and learn the right way of doing things. With your experience you are a wonderful teacher. I’ve learned things from you and I’m greatly thankful. Glad you’re back videoing again. Thanks again.
Nice job and beautiful finished part. I have been learning to install rivets, eyelets and snaps on my leather projects. I am not as accomplished as your outcome every time yet but keeping at it. Thanks.
I love watching Pearl come together, one piece at a time! The quality of your work is outstanding and a real pleasure to watch. What you said about the way things were made years ago that were still relevant today hit home with me. I volunteer showing visitors around our Heritage Centre in my local town in the UK. The building was built in 1490 from local green oak and is standing as a testament to the craftsmen who built it. Yes, we can still build a similar building today but it is so much easier but not necessarily better. We can still learn from those who came before us. As far as the election is concerned, Get her done!
This brake assembly should spend one night on your nightstand so you can look at it while falling asleep before you mount it in it’s final resting place!
I've followed a lot of your advice and learned more about machine work from you than anyone else over the years and can't thank you enough for that. The Turn Wright roller kit I put together is one of the most valued tools in my shop. I agree that one needs to be selective in weighing the advise they receive and separating the wheat from the chaff. I voted early as well. Got'er done.
Totally awesome Keith, loving this series, so much to learn from ‘The Master’ and I mean that most sincerely. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
I remember back in May 2019 when I rebuilt my lathe gearbox and getting the spindle bearings preload correct. That was my first time and yes, I kept hands on on all the gears and bearings. It took time but it was fun and now it still runs like new. All the best to ya'.👍
I was thinking about that Epoxy not letting the ring expand evenly! And you came to the same conclusion! And your one-piece hub looks WAY better than the original! Can't wait to see matching those tapers.
If you drill a tiny hole through the centre of the rivets, it prevents a vacuum forming as the clutch cools sticking it to the mating surface. This is sometimes done to prevent clutches and brakes seizing on.
Hi Keith and Lisa 😊, to quote you Keith that awesome, whith an excellent end result. The dog leg riveting tool worked realy well, nice job. And I reckon a good call on not using epoxy, for the reasons you pointed out. Make it Wright would be a good notice to hang on any wall, and should be a mantra for everyone . Thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Lisa, Stuart UK.
Nice job, Keith, probably better than the original part . Hope the choice of brake material works well. I have had mixed results with asbestos free materials. On clutches, I had to use more clamp pressure on them with the newer materials. If the clutch slips a glaze occurs fairly quickly, not an issue with an asbestos lining . Hoist brakes on overhead cranes. I had some issues as well. Pearl will be on sweet lathe when she is completed.
My dad was a big car guy. I would be out there helping ( ha ha ). I picked up a tap and could not understand what the H that dimple on the end was for. Now I know.
Thanks for the video Keith nicely done with the brake job ❤❤ it great work 😮 just amazing. Take care of yourself and family and Girlfriend and be Blessed ❤️.
Hola keith que buen trabajo . Amigo. La herramienta para remachar muy buena . Me recordo cuando con mi tio. Fabricamos un tanque de combustible para. Un auto de carrera. Y lo remachamos todo jaa. Saludos amigo
Keith there is an aircraft rivet tool for aircraft brakes by Rapco i used on a piper Cherockee. If you made tooling doesn't press and flare evenly, and it cheap less than 50.00 from aircraft spruce. Or ill let you borrow mine if needed. Easiest way they role the ends.
Genius Tool Modding! Also I thought all machining had to have Tolerances - It seems to me "just make it right" is, well, Just Wrong. 🙄(Nothing against Keith - I was referring to the guy who originally said that)
Hi Keith, I have been watching the progress of Pearl from deconstruction to reconstruction. The videos on the rebuiling of the shafts and all the grinding have been very interesting, and the cone drive has also. That machine will be better than new when you finish the rebuild. I was wondering how you were going to rivet the linings on with only a relatively small bore, but you always have something worked out well in advance, the trademark of a skilled craftsman. Using your K&T as a lathe and your reason makes me wonder is the next project perhaps a rebuild or part rebuild of the Clausing to improve its accuracy. The K&T, considering its age, would have been an incredible machine for its time, a lot of machines of that vintage still had change gears, and very limited speeds and maybe only X axis drive. It is no wonder they are still sought after. I agree with your closing statement, I'm in Oz, and this Saturday is our state election and the federal is due later this year, we need change here desperately too, but problem is the quality of many candidates is poor, a common problem globally. I look forward to the next installment on Pearl, Take care and I hope we all see change in the political landscape. Regards Dennis
Why couldn't you have made a short round over tool and weld/braze it to a C clamp? The other end of the clamp would have had a post welded/brazed to it. And I really think Karmala should stop in to say hi. I remembered she said she worked in a machine shop when she was young.
I forgot all about Phil and Pierre. I must've been unsubscribed or something. Gonna have to check them out. Forget the channel name though. I think the last videos I watched was them making those hammers
This episode was really riveting. It is great to see the pieces come together.
To quote the A team, I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks 45-47
Absolutely terrific.The rivet tool was freakily good but tapping the new grub screw was just fantastic.

Nice work Mr Fenner. Retired self taught mechanist in Australia.

A lot of aircraft brake linings (pads) are installed using the same type of rivets. Your technique of forming the heads is right on!
Nice work. Always a pleasure to watch your projects. Thanks for sharing.
Totally awesome Keith, loving this series, so much to learn from ‘The Master’ and I mean that most sincerely. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Very interesting. Impressive. Nice work sir. I like the plan and tool, punch you have created. It seems to work great

This pearl is gonna be better than new looking forward to seeing it done excellent machining skills

We'll get our ballot Thursday or Friday Washington

I have to go and touch my Bridgeport tomorrow! Its been a couple of days now! I HOPE that the rebuild is less than 8 months from start to finish!

“That’s a handsome looking brake, right there!”
Awesome discussion,video production,craftsmanship,build,mentoring….I have the same AWESOME hammer from P&P❤
Go vote
My Southbend lathe is December 1941 also. Another bit of history that needs to live. Cheers!
Absolutely process inventive and expert work.
Thanks for showing it Keith.
My dad was a big car guy. I would be out there helping ( ha ha ). I picked up a tap and could not understand what the H that dimple on the end was for. Now I know.
Great words to live by whether your making a cheeseburger or a billion dollar rocket " make it right ".
Olá amigo Keith!!!
Gostei de mais este trabalho,e a ferramenta pra arebitar muito boa a ideia!!!
Boa sorte sempre!!!
An alternative would be similar to a staking tool made from a pair of Vice grips like we use for doing the front sights for 1911 pistols
Thanks for the video Keith nicely done with the brake job ❤❤ it great work 😮 just amazing. Take care of yourself and family and Girlfriend and be Blessed ❤️.
That’s a beautiful thing!
Very Nice Keith... looks good.
Love the Trump / Vance memorabilia. Thanks for the very educational video.
Thanks Keith...learned a lot from this video.
Hola keith que buen trabajo .
Amigo. La herramienta para remachar muy buena .

The small details are the difference between quality or shoddy work.
Thanks
Another good one Keith ! well detailed and thought out.
Sent my ballet in a few days ago 👍👍
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Turned out great.

Thank you but I got it done even and completely satisfactory to my liking.
Neat!
Nice work
Genius Tool Modding!

Awesome video, and I already did! :o)
TRUMP! MAGA MAGA MAGA
Love that your posting videos again. Love the channel

And I really think Karmala should stop in to say hi. I remembered she said she worked in a machine shop when she was young.
Nice work recreating this assembly. Out of curiosity though, why go with rivets and not small button head bolts?
In my mind brass isn't hard enough to damage the matching taper on the break hub if one let's loose but a bolt would be .but who knows
As you set a rivet it also exspans in the shank removing any room for movement.
@@KeithFenner Thanks, I asked the question while watching and hadn’t known you were electing to not use the epoxy.
I forgot all about Phil and Pierre. I must've been unsubscribed or something. Gonna have to check them out. Forget the channel name though. I think the last videos I watched was them making those hammers
Took a minute to find him...Pierre's garage...I was unsubscribed. But, he's only posted two videos in the last 5 years.
Nice rivets tool , has work like expected. Trump for president. Greetings from Germany.
What a yunk.😮😮😮😮
Yes use real facts and see the real results and hope to god people use common sense and not what the legacy media is puking out!
Trump 24
Or Trump 2016-2028!
Give me a brake....😉
Amen to Trump
Love you’re channel but sometimes you over explain too much
