Beth Banding some Granada Wheels

[@beth1793]

**to anyone worried about lathe safety** This is an edited video, i had missed a lot of footage out so had to re film some parts that’s why my overalls were round my waist, at no point during using the lathe did I have my overalls round my waist, you’ll see the video Is sped up and cut in places, I stand well back when I engage the lathe and I stand right at the end of the bed. I admit I should of had the poppers done up on my sleeve, and I know how dangerous the lathe can be! I’ve been through 3 years of training at college and I’m qualified now, and I never take risks. We all make mistakes when we’re younger but you learn from them, and I assure you i got told off when my dad (and employer) realised😂In our recent videos I take safety very seriously!

[@tomharrell1954]

Beth 179 I read an article where A female engineer at MIT got her hair caught in a lathe and it killed her, about two years ago. Gruesome! Freaking dangerous machines. Some say never wear jewelry or any long sleeves.

[@dan1565656]

We all learn from mistakes. I for one quickly found out that brushing hands against live inverter boards (1kV ish) doesn't feel too great. Just one of those things. You live and you learn.

[@juangarzajr6473]

We all here appreciate that you put the video out and most would hate to see you hurt. Take it as constructive criticism and know that we are looking at more than just a pretty girl on on here. There is plenty of those on here. You stand out because of your skills and we just dont want to see you get hurt is all. It's a skills thing not a gender thing.

[@daves984]

Your killing it. People are all over you about danger I have been welding fabricating and machining for 20 + years started at 14 freshman. You are doing everything right and safe. Accidents happen I de gloved 1/3 of my pinky finger at a age 19 in a 5ft power roller, and I got smashed in the nose with a 4.5" makita grinder while spinning full speed about a year ago. That's it in 20 yrs. Keep doing what you are doing wear the proper ppe

[@cbmech2563]

@@tomharrell1954 when I was an apprentice operator mechanic I saw a mechanic (1970 long hair was in) get scalped by a ujoint on a Euclid scraper that was direct drive from the engine. He lived but it wasn't pretty. After that if you had long hair you had to wear a hair net.

[@garymucher9590]

This young lady is the real thing. She isn't phony or there for the photos. She knows what she is doing and looks like she is doing an amazing job as well. There is no reason women can't do such things. But we rarely see them oo these type projects. Thumbs Up!

[@samjohnson9406]

Amazing to see a young lady doing this from start to finish. Well done Beth, you should be proud of the professional way you do your job. Your employer must be proud of you too!

[@usherengineering179]

Thankyou! My employer is my dad, he and my grandad taught me everything i know! -Beth

[@juangarzajr6473]

I would agree with ever possible positive comments on here but I would also add you need to be safe around the lathe. While I understand that you are a 3rd generation in your family to do this type of work. You can not get to comfortable with any machine it has no feelings. @ approximate 4:20 you tied your sleeves around your waist, arms dangling. That can catch and lead to a awful injury. Be safe.

[@honeymonster5589]

Yes I agree she is very good

[@suntravellers]

@@usherengineering179 Bless you. Good heart family business. We need more people like you guys.

[@cunningstunt2]

Nice to see when i bring my beach buggy wheels in to get them banded they'll be in good hands, dirty but good :)

[@timtutiul1737]

Skill that thing ran true from the tacks. Wicked job

[@burnheretic3950]

Listen to all you little whiny safety fools. She is obviously a skilled machine operator and fabricator. We all know how dangerous a lathe can be if we are watching this. And we have all worn a untucked button down flannel wial running the lathe at some point. Awesome to see a young lady getting involved in machine tool and fab. Keep up the good work, I am a Union shipyard machinist by trade. I have been making threaded copper knickel fittings and flanges this past week on one of our manual lathes. We have a couple nice American pacemakers and leblonde. We also have a giant shafting lathe with a 75ft bed and taper attachment that you would enjoy.

[@djbruno48]

Great skill set. Awesome machine work and welding.Well done.

[@steveneastland4128]

Such an absolute pleasure to watch her at work, a truly aspirational video for all the girls out there, I would surely be bursting with pride if she were my Daughter, love her to bits👍

[@Austinpowers46]

Wow a beautiful young lady, into cars and car repair. Just don't see it much sadly. Fare play to her for doing it and I'm sure you encourage her! That's a great thing!

[@anthonywilson4873]

Nice to see someone doing what they want to do and doing it well. Best way to enjoy life when your job is what you love. Nice one Beth

Fair play Beth on the lathe work ..... skills looks like you have been welding for 20 years 👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Beth! I’m 27, female, and just got a millwright apprenticeship in Canada! Thanks for all the content you post 👍 I’ve yet to find another female in my trade so I’m just smitten with you!

Hi Jessica! Great to hear from someone else in this trade, I love what I do! Thankyou and keep at it there isn’t many females in this industry. Girl power💪🏻 -Beth

Well done ! That video remind me that my mother proffesion from her scholl is lathe operator. Shes born 1967, back than it was nothing unusual, but now pretty impresive, love you girl ! ❤ Cheers from little car workshop in Poland 🙂🙂🙂

What a brilliant video Beth, so nice to see a young lady in a generally male dominated trade and doing a bloody cracking job !!

[@fmfunn]

Respekt. .. sehr schönes Video, es ist sehr selten das eine junge Frau so viel technisches Verständnis aufweist LG

[@johndavey72]

Hi Beth, very impressive. I did know about banding but had never seen the process. Really Interesting and labour intensive. The comments did remind me of my eldest when she was doing engineering at "A" level (l think ), did work experience at an engineering shop and learnt M.I.G. welding. She studied at Plymouth University and achieved a degree in Design and Technology. She has worked for an international company that designs and builds medical products for 20 years and her salary is now in excess of £120k . Not bad for a single mum at 17! The common denominator is you really enjoy what your doing ! Great stuff ! Oh! And l enjoyed the music !

[@darrenchard2221]

Good to see that younger people are learning manual engineering skills, it is very much a dying art in the U.K. so a big thumbs up from me 👍

[@leonardrust8779]

Have been in your workshop many times but this is the first time I've seen the job start to finish, nice one Beth.

[@sx0lx012]

So awesome in many levels! Especially impressed how focused and dedicated she was, all young people should work like that no matter which industry they chose.

[@dennisnevin4511]

Very neat welds, you made it look easy.

[@markpaulene4002]

Well my first thought was your safety glasses but then my second thought was bugger me gal that’s pretty dam good when you spun that wheel up so hats off to you and your teacher, just remember you only get two eyes and ten fingers sorry eight fingers and two thumbs xx keep up the good work and I know who to ask for to fix my car xx thanks mark

[@matthewjenkins1161]

Fantastic work there Beth. Alloy wheels just don't cut it on many pre 80s motors. Even then, I've always dreamed of a Sapphire Cosworth but with base model bumpers, banded steels and stock Ford hubcaps, for that true sleeper surprise.

[@royevans4581]

Nice one Beth, there must be some cool looking Granadas out there! I enjoyed watching your work, thanks for showing me how it's done.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

@@usherengineering179 I second the muting necessity, which wasn't that bad though as no voices or voiceover was to be missed.

[@MapleMarmite]

Regardless of your age or gender, that was just an excellent job! That said, it’s good to know there are still young people coming out of school and into trade apprenticeships. I knew what the principles were behind banding wheels but have never seen it done before. Neat, the way you welded as it turned on the lathe. 👍🏻

[@bensmith5053]

I never put comments on KZbin..fantastic job!

[@Umski]

Never knew banding was a thing :D Lots of skills in there - very envious of that welding ability (and without looking on the unseen side too!) Good job :) Maybe I can convince once of my daughters to take up my love of engineering ;)

[@peterbense5650]

Same here. Even after watching the video I am unclear of the purpose, other than that this refurbished the wheels...

[@ro63rto]

@@peterbense5650 It widens the wheels so you can keep the old school look but fit fatter grippier rubber.

[@johnwhitley2898]

Very cool!! You go girl!! I'm glad to see a shop doing wheel work! Litigation killed off Most of the shops here in the U.S., but then again, it's their fault: have to hire/ have cert'd peeps welding and not some bubba from down the street.....!!!. Keep up the great work!!

[@ShedTV]

Very interesting, thank you. Whilst I understood the concept of banded rims, I've never seen what actually goes into the job. And great to see a third generation in a family firm.

[@simoncrouch1541]

good skills and tunes. loved it. good one!

[@kougerat5388]

Top work right there Beth ! just a suggestion but maybe you could ask your customer for a picture of the wheels finished and back on the car ! You could put it at the end of the video. Watching you go through each process meticulously was great, it reminded me of some footage I've seen from WW2 when mostly women worked in the engineering industry making just about anything and everything you can think of. Proper tough and highly skilled women & I'd say your certainly on that level so keep up the good work!

[@MrSkeeteman69]

Great job, and I'm loving the mk1 Ford escort in the background.

Lovely for a Granada but hub swap and put these on.. A 1600e,fat! Maybe mk4 cortina or mk1 capri. Badass.!!!!!!!!!

[@chloehennessey6813]

Beth, Tighter overall sleeves when you’re on the lathe girl. That lathe will pick you up and pretzel you before you get out a squeal or hit the emergency stop. My shop teacher would have chewed my ass pulling a stunt like that. Use a few rubber bands if you have to. I’m serious. It only takes a millisecond to end your career or life with these tools.

[@michaelslee4336]

I only liked 3 things here. The start, middle and end. That being said I have one tiny bit of advise and that is to have your boring bar/parting tool hanging out of the tool post to a minimum to prevent vibes and grabbing. Cheers from a machinist too.
