I noticed you left the spools on the Ridgid vise and just painted them. Do you have any idea on how they're held in place? On my BC 810 they don't look threaded in. If they are threaded, a 24" monkey wrench and dead blow wasn't enough to get mine to budge. I don't have the proper arbor plate on my press to try and press them out. I could leave them but they weren't painted originally I don't think. I can't imagine they were held in place too solidly since everything gets sandwiched together when it's bolted down anyway.

The bending lugs on mine are pressed in, and are coated originally. There was no need to remove them so I didn't. I could see the sleeve through the bottom and pressing was an option, though there was no need I could see to remove them. Though on the newer pipe vises that gets a little tricky. On the normal BC 810 I believe they are pressed in. Although I have seen some drawings of the BC 810A that appears to be threaded. Most likely yours are pressed as the fasteners installed complete their reinforcement. In the past I have used a touch of heat and then a penetrating catalyst before pressing. Makes a really big difference. My friend I wish you luck, and I am curious to know how goes.

Thank you for the kind words my friend. Indeed they do, they really embody a time when the mechanical was really all we had. And it really made the actions, and purposes of music and Art so much more precious and intentional. And I really feel we take that for granted today. In our recent age of technology, actions and intentions have become effortless. This can be both good and bad, we have come very far technologically within the solid state advancements in the realm of resisters, transistors, micro-processors, Cheez-Its., etc. Though it is important to remember where we came from, and in that it reminds us of what we are capable of; and in turn helps us direct with a calm foresight of where we are going. Thank you again my friend.

how do you get the chain and handle off? I'm struggling with a Rigid BC 810
@raindropsinvirginia7 ай бұрын
These are different to the your model, these just are a conventional shoulder nut that is unscrewed then the assembly is removed. The Ridgid BC 810 has a Crank Nut that also acts as its Dynamic Nut. There is a retainer pin on the underside of the shoulder of the Crank Nut that holds it in place as well as lets it spin, if you knock that pin out you can unscrew and pull out the nut and remove the chain assembly. If you need it DM me your email, and I can send you an exploded diagram of the BC 810.

how much would one of these go for? $140 each? your material for one would cost you $25?
@raindropsinvirginia9 ай бұрын
That's a complicated question. When calculating the price you start with the cost of your materials which includes any consumables such as welding gasses, wire, etc. plus your time to make it (Which of course will vary depending on the skill level of the maker.) multiplied by how much you need to make per hour to make a living. Add in the overhead expenses like electric bill and rent to facility etc. and now you've got the cost! There are also external factors that can affect the retail price such as if you've built a reputable brand that people recognize and desire to have. So in short this is an exceedingly complex question and is why design, product development, and merchandising hold stature as disciplines unto themselves and are studied as such.

From what I see elsewhere, those legs need an upgrade.
@raindropsinvirginia10 ай бұрын
Indeed, Its really the only weak spot in the system. Though I was happy to weld in new nut plates in the stock legs to accept larger threads and use the cast iron castors I had. It also brought the height to a nice standing for me, though if I purchase another in the future I'll just remake the legs and make them fully adjustable. Till then I'm really enjoying this one.

@@raindropsinvirginia before you decide to buy another, look at the one from Primeweld. Neither company makes their own tops and possibly the legs either. But looking at the table at Primeweld, on their website, you can see that the top casting is exactly the same. Obviously made by the same company. The differences that exist though, are significant. The Primeweld top is nitrided all over. It has two inch square engraving on the top like my Sigmund. I believe it also has rulers. The bottom corners are machined for the kegs. The legs are heavier duty than the Langmuir and have much better adjustable feet. The price was lowered to below what Langmuir charges, including the legs. Overall, a much better table for less. It’s worth taking a look.

Funny comment about Ron Covell. Really enjoyed your work. I have a great respect for people that create functional art pieces. You could have made that cart just as functional with way less work (always what I do, because I'm too lazy to do otherwise), but you put in the time and it looks great. I'm subscribed and looking forward to seeing what's next.

This is my first time to watch your videos, and I really like what you do! I see that you registered for the trophy raffle, and just on a whim, I checked out your channel. I'm so glad I did! I see you spraying a liquid on metal surfaces before welding. I presume that is to prevent spatter from sticking. Are you spraying pure water, or is there some 'secret sauce' added to it?

This is not a scam right? This is actually 'The Ron Covell' ? Cuz I know many people who sit down to dinner with their family, bow their head and thank the Lord for their food. Then afterwards they go to their Garage/ Shop and then pray to you. And another thing, how could you be asking me a question??........?.......... You are Ron Covell????
@raindropsinvirginia10 ай бұрын
Alright just assuming I am talking to 'The Ron Covell', the stuff I spray on the media surface is an Anti-Spatter Spray by the name of Walter E-Weld 4. In my 28 years of welding I have seen a lot of junk and It's the best A.S. sprays I have found that does the job, is carbon free, longest lasting, could really be painted over, and smells great. Really it's in my shop for its versatility on so many materials inhibiting spatter. I buy it in 5 gal jugs and that lasts me a little over a year under our current productions.
