You going to heat-treat them del ?
Currently seeking some advice on that buddy !
Ok, looked into this, spoken with two sources i trust, and given the size, application and expected forces, which are going to be compression 99% of the time. and given that i used T6 bar for the job.. it will be fine as it is.
Del boy, treat yourself for Xmas to indexable tools for your lathe, no need to sharpen tools anymore, just index to the next position and you can get tips to turn various materials, so you just change the tip and not the holder. The tips are made of Tungsten and will last longer. One other point, what material did you screw the extensions into, if dissimilar metals water will cause the two metals to act as a weak battery and cause corrosion, you may need to use a grease to help stop this on the threads.
Indexable tips? top of the wish list mate, but I do enjoy practicing grinding my own tools purely for some old school understanding... but you're right, they are a very easy way to work!
Just comparing the old prefab garage your channel started in over 10 years ago Del and the set up you now have with such great tools & equipment is just such massive well done to you both on the fantastic journey you have been on. Another great video in this mini series👍
Thanks buddy👍, that's very kind of you, it has been a journey indeed.. !
I was just thinking this watching this vid. I joined the channel in 2013 and it was a Black'n'Decker in a prefab then...
@@paulelverstone8677 It was Paul, we've invested everything we've earned from the videos back in to the Channel to bring the content you enjoy today.
Videos like this, are yoga for a stressful soul ❤
Stirling work as always Del! I couldn't wait for Xmas and bought myself a mini lathe thanks to your inspiration. No bike parts at the moment though. I'm currently making spinning tops for grandkids Xmas order and having a ball. Hip replacement is booked for late Jan but still polishing the girls every week in anticipation. Love your work as always!!
John.
I noticed that you applied some kind of chemical to the shock mount bolts. Is it a glue like loctide? If it is something else, what does it protect against? Nice to see your work
Outstanding work brother !!! I love the work you do on the lather, very inspiring, thats why I keep all scrap left over from projects since you never know when you will need them ! Keep up the great work brother ! Stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!😀🍺🍻
Thanks for your kind words brother👍, It's great to make your own parts if you can, and yes also, keep those off cuts of material, they will always come on useful.. Have a great weekend and keep safe D&Pxx
Absolutely love lathe working. It's amazing what can be made, in your own garage/workshop. Only have a wood lathe, just now, but will invest in a metal lathe one day.
Good work, Del, fantastic little watch.
As always, stay safe and much love to yourself and PP 🤩
Thanks buddy, i would love to try wood turning, it's fascinating to watch, and i imagine really rewarding to make beautiful things. !
Del, do you have any experience with the Free Spirits rear shock classic riser blocks for the Triumph? I have a set of YSS on my Scram that have a +10mm adjustment but I would like to raise the rear another 10mm or so. Any ideas?
I don't mate, never seen them, as you can see here, i just go ahead and make things myself when i need them..
No worries. You are good at what you do! Every motorcycle enthusiast that is the least bit mechanically inclined should have a metal lathe, mill machine and tubing bender!
Nice job Del as always. Just for the record, I stripped down, cleaned and successfully reassembled and installed the carburetor on my 1300 VTX last week. You would have been proud. :) ( I should have filmed it )
Sterling work Joe, fiddly and often fragile, carbs can drive you crazy, specially trying to balance a multiple bank.. in some ways i love fuel injection for it's simplicity, but then again, carbs for the nostalgia.! we're never happy are wel.lol!
Nice job! Why is it impossible to jack up the original suspension withouth changing everything? Really sad about that
You're making that lathe work look too easy these days!! 😎 Nice work!
Thanks Allen👍, ill never be more then a keep amateur, but it i a lot of fun to learn and practice..!
It's looking great, guys. I do think that you need to be aware, Penn, that this idea of the high pipes and the taller suspension looks suspiciously like Delboy doing everything he can to get you into some new knee-high high-heeled black leather boots.... for your safety, of course... gotta keep them hot pipes away and get your feets on the ground and all that! :) As always, great content. I really liked the ghost-y Del magically appearing as he rounded the front of the lift at 7:20. Those touches really elevate the enjoyment value. Keep 'em comin', guys, and enjoy those new boots! ;)
Hi Penny and Del - great video! It's always nice to see some lathe work, and such a practical project. Great results too. Every think about a milling machine? Take care, be well ride safe!
Thanks buddy, and yes would love one, but with two projects on the go and life, sadly not in the budget!
grosbeakmc, for what it's worth Sir, several times a year I have the opportunity to use my 7x14 lathe for milling. I have a mill clamp that I can attach to the cross slide, and put the end mill in the lathe chuck. It actually works quite well. My imported lathe does have the tapered roller bearings in the headstock, as well as a upgraded chuck. I do have a imported bench top mill as well, but sometimes I like the challenge of using the lathe. Forces me to think outside the box.
Hopefully this helps 🙏

Nice job Del, my turning skills are limited to spacers at the moment, just started again at work,40 years after last using a lathe at school! 😀👍
I think you need new pair of gloves !! Lol… never seen those extensions before… never thought of that as I thought it’s always standard. Loved your lathe work…
Love a bit of turning!! Great job Del. Thought you might of polished them up a bit though, or you going for the O, Natralle, look?? 😎👍
I did think about maybe media blasting the the bodies for a satin finish, but i quite like the machined finish too.!
I do like the invisible nature of this modification.
👍❤️🤗
Thanks buddy, inspired by the TEC shocks. Glad you like it !
It's gotta feel great to have that lathe at your disposal.
Thanks you buddy, It was an investment that I have never regretted Travis...
Great job on the spacers Del. They look stout enough to be used on construction equipment. I admire your work on the lathe. It is such a simple yet versatile tool. Like a lot of other old yanks who worked for years with USS or SAE thread types I glaze over with metric thread types, pitches etc. 😁 Cheers and big thanks to you and the production staff/bike owner. God bless and stay well friends. ❤👍👍
Thanks so much as always Rick👍, glad you're enjoying it.. and i know what you mean, over here we grew up with metric and imperial (SAE), so converting it all the time is just life.! Take care and keep safe my friend.. D&Pxx
Besides buying the 16 mm die; did you have to buy a new die handle? Nice results. Take care, Ride Safe.
I remember you considering buying a lathe and wondering how you'd learn to use it. Now you do this sort of thing to such a high standard, and make it look easy. Well done mate!
Thank you Robin. It takes a lifetime to master machining, ill never be more than a keen amateur, it takes me ten times longer than it would a real machinist, and ive had the amazing, kind and generous support of some incredible people within the machining community to help me progress too..
Absolutely spot on work as always Del! Love watching you work on the lathe and turn out custom parts!
Many thanks mate, always good to hear from you.
Great job - and I could literally watch lathe work all day - and also tap and die work all day - so double bonus for me - I am now officially chilled out! Thanks guys x
Most welcome Mike, it's my favourite pastime in the garage too, im glad you enjoyed it. D&Px
great job Del !!
Was hopping to see you cut threads using the laith , has your laith got the setting to cut threads ?
This machine requires a complete set of gears changing for thread cutting, it's not a simple setting change mate, more like half a mornings work, and then back again for regular work.. !
Awesome 👌
Great result eh! Your custom parts always look the biz Del!
Yeah been thinking about mine with the 25mm jack-up dog bones.
The last time I ever did anything like this was when I slammed the bandit 😂
God bless you both xx
Yeah, lovely result. There is always something therapeutic about watching lathe work. How long did they take in real time?...
Hi Paul, I take my time with machining work because I'm just an amateur, plus of course filming anything doubles the time it takes!
Just a question out of curiosity, was the increase in ride height rider requested? 😊
Hi buddy, the remit was, for an increase in 'lean angle' (due to grounding out on corners), so lifting the frame by an inch, was a method of achieving that, along with a high level exhaust and fitting a reduced seat, This is will retain the leg reach and achieve the best of both worlds, an improved ride, but with no cost to ride height!
Great job sir. Love the channel. I would love to watch you restore a 1930s knuckle head. Or a old classic British bike.
Thank you Mark, id love to just ride one, just once, that'd be a privilege on it's own.! '36 Knuckle is a dream bike !
@@Moonfleet41 please look at Wheels Through Time.
Proper cutting oil is better than wd40
"Proper"? always keen to learn.. can you suggest the exact one i should use mate !
When I was training in 'The engineering training centre ' when I was -'servin mi time ' in the machining section they said the best lubrication for 'ally' was paraffin/kerosene 😲😲 odd but true ! Well I neva !
@@granite676 That is quite true Stephen!
WD didn’t look like it was struggling to do the job.
@@Moonfleet41 Rocol Cutting Fluid
Well done, top job! Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
PS: That exhaust baffle!
Need a part, make a part! I recall when you first purchased the lathe, and your skills and imagination have grown since then. Well done Del ! 😎🤙🏽
Thank you Logan, you're very kind.. the more practice i get at machining the more i realise how much there is to learn, it truly is a massive subject and a fascinating hobby. !
Hey del been trying to do this for ages my penske shock but couldn't find any thing for 11/16 thread
Good thinking, having secretly bought Penny some Jimmy Choo 6" stilettos for Xmas, other extensions are now needed.
(Footrest socks, in brushed velvet, can help protect those well 'mortal soles' from normal en route scratch damage : )xx
Well done Del, it's so classy! Penny must be happy!
I love watching your lathe work its so therapeutic :-)
Top job. I would of done them in brass. But that's just me.
brass maybe too soft to be safe?
@@stevehill1826 aluminium has a yield strength of 30 and a uts (ultimate tensile strength) of 90.
Brass has a yield strength of 75 and a uts of 300.
So brass is inherently stronger.
Just saying.😉😉😉
@@paullane8586 thanks for the heads up on that mate, just taken a dive into google to educate my thick head and you're spot on
I may have an advantage of being a trained engineer.
Never put yourself down plenty out there will do that for you bud.
So cool- unexpected awesomeness of lathe work to enjoy, always a fun treat 🙂
Brilliant, Del. You certainly have mastered that lathe! BTW, will Penny be ok with the increased height?
Hope you both are doing well there.
🏍👍🏍
Thanks Gary, I've never been more than a keen amateur but it's a great fun hobby and good to challenge the old hand skills!
@@Moonfleet41 i think you’re in need of a new self assessment, my friend…. You’ve surpassed amateur status long ago. Artiste!
If in doubt get the lathe out, well done both of you 👏🏻
Ha ha, too right mate !
Cracking job there Del.
Excellent video Del & Penny. Out standing job mate, looks just like a bought one. Enjoy the last part of your week. Cheers
Great job as always mate, looking really good 🙌 all the best.
