FIXING A 1900's STEAM HAMMER! Pt. 11

If you have any questions about the brand relating to how the therapists are credentialed, their privacy policy, or therapist compensation model, check out this FAQ:

My name is Alec Steele. I am a blacksmith, amateur machinist and all-round maker of all-things metal. We make videos about making interesting things, learning about craft and appreciating the joy of creativity. Great to have you here following along!

Can we get a 20 part sword series like the old days? Using the new rebuilt power hammer.

[raenin]

At this point it's like you're building a Power Hammer from scratch aside from the cast iron corpse of the original one.

I love it. I'm glad I got to this series months late so I can binge it.

The oscillation of the pin that was in there is likely what caused the inner shaft to be off like that. From the pice you showed, it pulls it up and down in a "circle" or oscillating shape.

Alec just summarized his whole channel in one phrase: "it was more of a journey than it should have been." 😂

[MrFoxCallum]

In today's episode, Alec learns about inclusive angles (the sum angle over two planes or axes).
Exclusive angles are angles taken to a datum plane or datum axis, e.g. the center of a lathe.

I recieved my 5 nails 😀 They ended up costing me $60 because of customs. They are now on display.

*ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SERIES - PLEASE DO MORE CRAZY BIG RESTORATIONS*

As a machinist, when your lathe does not have the compund travel length for making a taper, and you also want a clean cut made by the automatic feed, the process is actually relatively simple. You just offset your support by half the length needed to get the angle of the taper. (You turn just one side to make the full taper after all) You use the same part of the support to do that as you would when setting in on the axis. But if thats too much work on your lahe, you also can just get an insert that can be slid off center.

Mental health therapy here in the Uk is free. Self referral systems are in place there are no costs for swapping therapists with them either. Yes there is a longer wait all the time but it makes no sense why anyone would pay for better help if that sort of system is in place already.

Really liking this series. Every time a video appears i make time for it.
Ps, as others have said, maybe steer clear of betterhelp as a sponsor.

*LITERALLY SHOUTING AT THE SCREEN* "halve the angle....!!!"

[DarthKaese]

please make sure that the flange that packs the rope is not to tight. If it is to tight the graphite rope will burn very fast. I would recomend to repack the cylinder. You should flatten the rope with a hammer. The flange will expand the rope when you thighten it.

[bartroberts]

We all look forward to that great day. Congratulations on this milestone, Alec. Keep at it.

[lunawolve]

I LOVE these long-part series!

MORE OF THEM PLEASE, ALEC!

[CrypidLore]

Betterhelp, for when you want help from a "qualified" professional AND for them to sell your personal data. It's really the double whammy of value.

[CNC-Time-Lapse]

My 20 Alec Steele hand forged nails arrive tomorrow! YAY!

[ichbrauchmehrkaffee]

I've been checking your channel at least 5 times in the last few days to see if there's a new steam hammer video

[tgould]

Cut the end of the graphite at an angle!! And yes, it's a stuffing box
