65 Old Expert Electrician Demonstrating The Rewinding Technique on a Truck Starter Motor Armature

[@dianecandoflamtaps9557]

My dad was an a motor rewind electrician in Flagstaff Arizona. He owned his business for approximately 35 years. He would take motors, anywhere from small tiny motors to giant motors that were hoisted into his shop. He’d fire them in an incinerator, sand blast, strip them, repaint the shell and make all the coils and rebuild the entire motor. When they left his shop they were like new!! I miss my dad so much! Mom too!

True, but unfortunately the helical bond strength of air dry varnish fades to zero at elevated temperatures. Technically, it should be vacuum dipped and baked for any good strength and adhesion.

[@femsplainer]

While I do appreciate the skills involved here, you cannot be serious about the statement that hardware salvage of this nature in any way reduces waste in landfills. By that I mean metal salvage is a booming business even in the west and there's no way that they'd let something with that much copper in it go into a landfill. Even if we concede the point that it does somehow reduce landfill waste, they're producing a lot of other toxic waste in open air next to other vendors (and to themselves) by performing this salvage that far outweighs the benefits. I mean seriously you see them using packing foam as a fire starter (burning polyurethane foams is terrible for the environment and humans breathing in the fumes) and some of what they're burning off is heavy metal solder. I mean they are seriously exposing themselves and others downwind to lead poisoning.

@@woyaochinidedoufu2753 One day these people who work so skillfully with their hands will get very very old or sick or suffer a serious injury. Would you call such a person a leech? Because they reach a stage where they need something back for which they paid their taxes? I'm aware of certain groups being way too into having money out of greed, and too many people are underpaid for sure. But this very man should be cared for when his working days are over. He may not have family. Some have lost everyone in wars, etc. And are too old to breed like rabbits. If you breed at all can you personally guarantee your offspring are getting to be perfect workers making a more perfect world for just us regular folks? And if they're disabled; your own folks, are they disposable?

@@karenatha7890 You misunderstood me. I consider people like the man in the video part of the working class and people part of the working class I believe should be taken care of by the government. I was denouncing other groups of people who refuse to work and would rather be lazy, collect government benefits, and have lots of babies

During a Nuke war it's the politicians who get the bunkers and the craftsmen that make stuff work will be all dead.

[@luluadapa5222]

Our skilled craftspeople have all gone. The old skills would have continued if parents and grandparents had genuinely usefull professions and passed their knowledge on. My grandfather's were butchers and cabinet makers, grandmothers were confectioners and seamstresses. I worked in an office for 34 years.... school taught me to do as told, remember stuff I have never needed, follow instructions, only move when the bell rang and that is pretty much it. We cannot allow what skills we have left in the west to be undervalued and disappear 💜🙏

I was going to make a crack about autozone remans, but I reckon these guys care more about putting out a decent product, so they don’t starve to death.

This amazing artisan reminds me of the incredible artisan plombier who came to fit a sink or two. It was the attention to detail, a complete knowledge of the material he worked with and a precision fit of a complete pipe complex before it was attached. Only difference really is the Frenchman just wanted to play Pilota all his life and our amazing artisan to live.

One day I was at the dry cleaner’s store. The fellow pressing was like art in motion. Not one wasted movement, his attention to detail was amazing. I personally enjoy ironing, but I don’t have the mad skills he has.

i repair electronic stuff for 17 years now (mostly smd soldering nowadays) but i repaired robots as well as tv's and im always fascinated where my job originated. some serious craftmanship there! Gonna pass my wisdom on like those guys

This man is one of the best workers that I have ever seen through I wish the shop wasn't that dusty.

I used to by starters and generators from a old dude who rebuilt them I did for a long time I think he passed away miss that was just some small business but the dad would sale them and it got around the city so people would look for him rip he did excellent work never had any trouble with anything I got from them

I'll bet you, he has many sons who grew up learning this from him, and they did most of them while learning. I'll bet he's a good teacher! There's no way he wouldn't have carpal tunnel syndrome and/or arthritis by now if he worked like that everyday since his youth! But he's a hunky, chunky Grandpa alright!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
