Why do I feel like he is the protagonist of payback 2??😅😅

In the gear manufacturing industry there is a professional "gear shaper" machine with all the necessary mechanisms already built in. No need for a DIY setup...

Why dont these other youtubers do this? This is the best. The others have you buy electric magic boxes with variable current and a load of complicated instructions. Thank you for this. Doing my first plate now :)

Hi Geoffrey. I’m trying to do a restoration on my LD series 2a 1970 model 109. I need help on axles. Do you take external jobs to do it?

Always add acid to water and never water to acid.

Extremely awesome content. Helpful, concise, practical. Thanks ever so much. I'm off to nickel plate an old axe head just because. Thanks!

As using filler even when unnecessary seems to be the way to go, why doesn't someone chuck a couple of tons of filler on Stone Henge or the Great Pyramids?

Thank you so much, I have to fix my brushes

Good video from back in the days normal people did videos. Thank you good sir.

Thank you so much

Smutty copper😂 sounds like it came out telling some crude jokes. Great video

Can you see my glazed-over eyes?

Best annoying as fuck high pitched voice in head video on youtube

Is it possible to plate brass with silver directly?

Nice video 👍🏽!

How much wear can the nickel take? Was thinking of doing a vice.

I’d like to send you photos of my progress

I have basically built the same thing to cut gears but instead of wires I’m using a geared rack win the same module teeth as the gear I want cut and the gear that rides on the rack doesn’t need to be the same size diameter as the gear I’m cutting

why can't we use water instead of vinegar?

A big shout out to Craig- from across the ditch😊

This is the most amusing maching video's I've ever come across on KZbin.

Would this work for silver and or gold?

Why do you sound fkn retarded

Fantastic explanation and graphics, going to spray vinegar on rusted part of automobile then clean surfaces and spray paint it next...

Little help, please! I bought (supposedly) pure nickel strip from eBay, but my solution will not turn green! It’s clear, and there are now blackish flakes settling on the bottom of my container. I’ve tried several strips, and they dissolve, but no green. The “nickel” strip attached to the negative cable has turned black as well. Have I simply bought crap nickel? (BTW, my solution is 10% white vinegar and one Tbs. non-iodized salt.) Thanks for any feedback!

Can I use aluminum?

So copper wont plate directly to steel. What about aluminum, or stainless steel? Does anyone know of a metal which won't dissolve into solution? This is the big problem with electrolysis machines used to generate hydrogen gas from water. Whatever metal you use dissolves into solution polluting the water and eventually stalling out the process. If we had a metal which would not dissolve into solution that would be ideal. Both anode and cathode in the electrolysis machine could be made of that. Alternatively even a combination of metals like copper and steel would be better as one would not be able to plate the other. Though steel is not ideal as it is already prone to corrosion. So ideally if there is no metal which will not dissolve, then the best alternative would be two metals which can't plate each other, which are also corrosion resistant.

Oh man I almost spit my food at the "Where did you get the nickel from"? hahah thanks

The Megadeth at the end was the best part

Can you plate with silver and hold this same way??

Exactly what I needed do you know if this works with bronze

How dare you give my questioning voice such a silly sound!! My voice is much higher pitched than that!! JK Thanks for the great video :)

Nice ..i just picked up a pretty big one

I want to copperplate 60/40 solder on stained glass. Will I be able to nickel plate and then copper plate with that? I know the plate will stick to the tin, not the lead, but I can't seem to find a good answer and would LOVE some help!

Simpsons reference earns sub. “We do!”

16:20 this part here can be Short cutted if you use a Car battery charger instead of a samsung/phone charger. 2 hours cut down to 35 mins with small parts like that. However you have to move this outside or into a well ventilated area and somewere you know somebody won't touch it as it is more dangerous because there's more amperage and more voltage current being pushed through car charger unit to kick start electrolysis

These have been really helpful. Especially the last one for reassembly, as I have to dismantle a ML7 to move to my workshop

Is the same process to plating gold?

All I will say as someone who has studied Chemistry at degree level, is do your research when mixing various chemicals and metals and type the acronym COSHH and safety data sheets. You can inadvently create some pretty horrific chemicals with household chemicals if you don't have a good understanding of elemental chemistry. For example electrolysis of hydorchloric acid (HCL) even in dilute form will produce Hydrogen and Chlorine gas, one goes bang and the other will gas you to death LOL ! Additionally HCL is one of the strongest acids out there and will eventually break down metal alloys, so the likes of stainless steel is an alloy of Iron, Vanadium and Chromium. So pickling stainless steel in acid for a time will leach out Chromium into solution forming Chromate which is a particularly nasty element in solution form. Interestingly enough whilst Nickel seems harmless on the surface it is actually classified as being carcinogenic to humans in compound and metallic form, not many people are aware of that as the perception of Nickel being used in coins means it must be safe of course. Not being a party poopy, have fun it what you do, be responsible and dispose of chemical at treatment centres and do your research before blindy mixing chemicals at home, the Internet has all the answers although a fundamental school chemistry book is worth owning for reference and CHATGPT of course now !

We do not have Ebay here in Africa where I live. Can you use coins?

Just use nickel chloride

Which way is it meant to spin? Please

I tried doing this myself, the zinc wok but would form bubbles on the aluminum then scrap off if touched, the copper just turned black no matter what metal I tried to plate and the nickle didnt really work.

Informative and entertaining. Thank you

amazing to see that the main chemical used are vinega and salt. That's totally environment-friendness and healthy. Thanks so much.

I have been using HCL to clean old cast iron skillets. They come out looking OK, go right into water to rinse away residual acid, come out fine... then flash rust. So I started trying to neutralize residual acid with aqueous solutions of bases. Drano, NaOH flakes, NaHCO3, Na2CO3... they all leave a coating of black muck on the iron. I tried burning it off on a gas grill, just hardened it. It can be scrubbed off before it hardens, can be removed with sandpaper or wire brush after it dries and hardens. What do you think it is? My water is from a well, so that is a possible answer. How do you treat your iron pieces after they come out of the HCL? Thanks for any answers.

I had a basic understanding of an alternator but you just totally and utterly made me understand the complexity of an alternator, I will Never look at an alternator the same again, the clever design of such a fantastic thing. Thank you

Great video! Ending with "Rust in Peace" was a touch of genius.

How do you go from this to chromed metal ?
