Hi Keith, The Palm Greaser Brings back Memories, >Joe Balto MD,

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great video. Buffys looking good. Great paint job. She will last another 50 years. Thank you for sharing.

[@izzynutz2000]

Awesome work Keith thanks for letting us hang out

[@VincentParisien]

Never get enough of your videos Keith! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrBuck295]

whenever I do something like you did cleaning and re packing that bearing , I always smile at the money I saved that can be put to better use elsewhere

[@coleenlofgren6385]

I love smoke gray for older machines !!

[@garymallard4699]

I had to Replay it ...i dozed off on the first viewing....i'm 64 too!! I used those foam rollers too to paint signboxes... If you put a light tack coat on first...brushing anywhere your roller can't get into then rolling as best you can to hide your brush marks...then let it tack up but not dried too much...you can put a heavier coat on to get a thicker finish without running ( tack coat helps hold the paint ) and it can look almost like a spray finish...takes a few times to get it figured out but once you do you can paint it without spraying ( especially without a paint booth or like you said in a area you don't want overspray or fumes )... Great video.... I was tired from days of yardwork It wasn't boring... Even the greasing was entertaining...

[@Gyrfalconwyn]

I've understood the concept and purpose of packing bearings but have never seen it done until now. Thanks for sharing your projects and teaching us along the way.

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

This makes me want to go and repaint all of my machines! Well done that has been allot of work and as you said a long time coming. Good to see the progress. Cheers, Crispin

[@boaterbil]

Thanks Keith.

Keith, happy to see that you know and use never-sez on all the bolts. it is a habit that most guys don't do. they will be able to get thoughts bolts out 50 years from now, this is a good video, thanks

[@user990077]

17:57 When I refurbished an old Rockwell bandsaw I painted it with that grey Rustoleum and it took forever to dry. Swear I could smell the paint thru the screen. Weird.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Keith, Good progress... I am really enjoying the restoration of Buffy... Thank you... Take care. Paul,,

[@robertdebusk6157]

I am really enjoying this series and am very interested in the rebuild of Buffy. Thank you for sharing all the details and tips as we go along. Can't wait for the next installment. Take Care and Stay Safe. Bob

Looks like you are assembling a Darleck! Great video, appreciate the explanations step by minute step....fantastic...thanks Keith

[@TheTkiller9999]

Keith, I have not seen you on the plasma cutting in quite a while... I must say that I am happy you are showing the work on it again.... I have gone through relationship issues myself in the past... and it always takes around 1 to 2 years to completely recover from that disruption.... this indicates to me that you are recovered from that... congrats.

Happy little mills... 😊

[@wheels2199]

Hey Keith, you can put automotive enamel hardener in that paint, I don’t remember the part number off the top of my head but I’ll get it for you. It makes the paint dry three times faster and is as hard as nails. Also the gloss is better, and is less likely to lift or wrinkle if you re-coat. The hardener is valspar 4625 enamel hardener.

[@carlthor91]

If you could put the name and number here, a few more would like that. 👍 Thanks in advance.

[@wheels2199]

@@carlthor91 here is what I use, valspar 4625 enamel hardener. I have used it in pinstripe paint, plow paint, and most hardware store enamel paints. Hope this helps.

[@carlthor91]

@@wheels2199 Thank you

[@oldiron4135]

When I just did my mill, I used machinery paint, reducer and hardner all same brand. Id paint the parts in the shade, push it out in sun and was dry to touch within an hour. Ya. I dont like watching paint dry either.

[@ryanjones9305]

I hate painting so much that when I rebuilt my Bridgeport I had everything I could powder coated. It was a pain in the ass loading up the heavy parts, but I have a great looking mill!

[@chrismatthews9328]

Every other Joe wants Lasik, but glasses are the best way to protect your eyes. It's not often that you get splashed with hot cooking oil, but when you do, your trusty focals will be there to save you. People who use exercise bands get popped in the eye, far too often to mess around without.

[@wmcwings4343]

I've packed many a bearing that way. Your palm is the best way to do it! 👍🙂

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Coming together great, that bearing is very expensive if you can find one the bearings 41125w on my k&t mill is two hundred plus, fix'um if you can. Great video Keith, keep'um coming.

[@scruffy6151]

Buffy is looking good! so far. Nice job on repacking the bearing.

[@CXensation]

That bearing packing method I learned back in the sixties, when working in an autoshop. It works amazing ! These days you'd use disposable gloves of course.

[@ottocustomizer2404]

Nice tip with the Japan Drier, Ill have to try that out. Buffy's coming along nicely, enjoying this series. Great stuff as always Keith

[@dbracer]

Beautiful finish with that grey paint.

[@mikemoore9757]

In a shop I worked in when I was young, we had an old machinist that used to make home made "balloon wine" in the storage compartment of his Bridgeport and the boss never discovered it. He always had a gallon jug in there.

[@CraigLYoung]

sehr gut mach weiter so!!!👍👍👍

[@dizzolve]

Sweet...... buffy looking sweet with all the chrome

[@larrysmurthwaite773]

She’s looking great Keith! We’re definitely the same generation. Btw I too hate watching paint dry so I do preheat the parts with one or more heat lamps before spraying helps get it to out gas and coats well. I don’t keep it heated just pre heat.

[@tom7601]

The old front wheel bearing packing trick! Haven’t done that since around 1970. :-)

[@ken9503]

Just did that on my 03 Ford Ranger. Replaced front brake rotors and of course the hub and rotor are all one piece, so new bearings and seals too. Learned it back in the 50's maintaining our farm machinery when I was a teenager -- the "good ole days" :-)

[@arnoldsmachinetool4632]

When I rebuilt my 1965 J-head I used the smoke gray paint. It still looks good after 4 years later. Just about any machine I rebuild, that's my go to color. I don't store anything in that compartment, but I took great pains to get the shelf in. Buffy is looking great 👍👌

[@mikescott4007]

LOL 1970s tool It took me a minute I must’ve used them many times

[@mp6756]

1970s I love it. Just a fine job Buffy is a lucky gal.

[@donmittlestaedt1117]

The import riser rings are frequently not parallel on machined ends. They need to be remachined. Learning that after the mill is all back together is irritating. I learned the hard way. Loved the Japan Hardener tip.

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

I've never had Japan Drier, but I have used Acetone in the Rustoloum paint and it works well to give a thinner coat that dries hard.

[@mp6756]

I have a set of 70s tool with serrated carbide jaws made in New Bedford Massachusetts industrial park by Codmen company. They used to make surgical equipment in the 70s and I think into the 80s. I grew up and went to vocational high school in the machine shop course. It has treated me well. just figured I would share the local stoty.

[@brianhostak3961]

Thank goodness for safety glasses !!!

[@haydnjenkins7607]

I use 4inch foam roller for glossing flat interior doors you get a very slight orange peel effect, also does great on interior window sill. Can believe I've just watched paint dry, lol.

[@kooldoozer]

Put in the wood shelf first, then put in the aluminum shelf to prevent vibrating around.

[@Absaalookemensch]

It would look fantastic painted tool emerald green or deep blue.

[@DomManInT1]

Jump to 12:09 for actual painting to start.

[@johnmcmickle5685]

If it is a different lot number there will be a variation in color. When I was still working if we were overseeing a bridge painting job se tired to paint area that could be seen with paint from the same lot.

[@randyreddig5239]

Keith, about that special 70's tool, you said you need one thats not "smoked" I'm thinking you meant to say one thats not "roached".... LOL... Buffy's looking good..

[@morrisgallo2361]

Great video as always Have you considered adding a thick silicone bead under the aluminum plate. It would seal the bottom of the compartment and prevent vibration noise while running the mill

[@mikeosborn288]

Keith if you have a Caterpillar dealer near you can by grade 8 hex bolts and others at a good price.

[@f.hababorbitz]

I don't recall your previous shop having a sandblast cabinet. What the heck are you doing? Trying to be a full service job shop, that does a total rebuild? I really liked seeing you reuse that ball bearing. Especially this low speed bearing that had no wear. I'm your same age, I'm still amazed at how well you are as a prime mover. I wish I could find a riser for my Wells-Index. I wonder how much more that affects the compliance of the machine when side milling.

[@ronbellaire9329]

Let us know if you decide to market the cupboard floor.

[@KeithFenner]

[@donsipes]

Is the riser a factory optional part or a shop fabrication?

[@matsworld9386]

Keith, coming along nicely! what primer are you using underneath the protective enamel? Cheers!

[@KeithFenner]

Rust-oleum rusty metal primer

[@paulsherburne7116]

Used to own a cottage on Bayberry Lane, just on west side of Swan Rv off Lower Cty Rd. Is there a classic wood boat builder/restorer anywhere near your shop? Often visited them to see the work they were doing / exceptional craftsman / brothers, if I remember correctly. My time on the Cape was back in the 70's and 80's. Love your show / does get a tad technical from time to time, but that's okay.

[@thirtysixford]

I bought the Rustoleum smoke grey paint. How much japan dryer per quart of paint

[@KeithFenner]

On the Japan Dryer it says the mix quantity per gallon and in the video you see me splash in for a half of quart.

[@dennisleadbetter7721]

Hi Keith, Buffy is making good progress, and looking just like she is out of the showroom. A question for you, have you added the riser or was it on the machine originally? I have a bridgeport copy (not as many Bridgeports in Oz as in the USA) and I have found the limitations of the standard height. 150 mm (6") risers are available here to fit them, but they seem incredibly expensive at over $800, but after seeing you assemble Buffy they must have locating supports inside for the X bracing to sit on as you bolt it all together. Regards Dennis.

[@KeithFenner]

I added it, found one for $100 offered by a viewer back when I started the project.

[@jdmccorful]

An Orthopedic Surgeon at work! Enjoyed watching, thanks.

[@RootAwakening]

Hey Keith, love the videos, long time armchair machinist (currently rebuilding some tired iron and saving for a bigger shop). Was wondering when you were putting the fittings in for the standoff could you have just oiled the raw cast iron after you blasted it to try and keep them rust free longer? Very amateur machine rebuilder here, so just wondering if you think that's a wise idea with hidden parts like that or if that's not a good idea! Love the videos, Thanks for all the gems and wisdom

[@KeithFenner]

Fog with Zep after the assembly is what I'll do, I squirted way oil down the bore before sliding in the hex keyed pin.

[@curlywood]

Intresting videos ,Just like to ask what happened to the boat shafts turning lately ? is it finished for good now ?

[@jobkneppers]

Keith, nice work as always. One question or suggestion; if you would buy a bearing with the same outside diameter and height, and bearing capacity at least the same, but the inner diameter bigger than you need for supporting the z-axis. Is a bushing with a collar not an escape for not buying the original? Collar for the extra height of the inner ring and the inner bore matching the spindle size? I didn't dive into the data but could this work as a replacement? Best, Job

[@garthbutton699]

Is that knee bearing a Timken taper,good video thank you.

[@greaser5691]

I had to laugh, the handful of bearing grease immediately took me back about 40 years, to the film "The FJ Holden" which was produced at the height of the late '70s 1950s craze down under (Happy Days etc.). The protagonist was restoring/hotrodding a 1955 FJ Holden (a car similar, but smaller, to a Chev Fleetline Deluxe, made by the Australian subsidiary of GM), and on his birthday his mechanic's shop workmates grab a big handful of wheel-bearing grease and shove it down his trousers to coat his 'bearings' as a coming-of-age hazing... :) I think the film can be seen on YT if anybody wants a taste of 1970s Australia (viewer discretion is advised :) ).

[@chrisgreig5628]

That's cool , last time i came across a FJ Holden , 32 years ago Magnetic Island , it was black ,Greek Owner ( Nick The Greek ) from Melbourne , it had bullet holes in it , i know why it had the holes , gutless motor , couldn't get going fast enough , i changed the oil and gave a tune, that was as far as i was prepared to go for this customer . But now years later i really think that he shot his own car to give himself more street cred . it was a very green time .

[@SillyPutty3700]

could that have been powder coated or would the oven be not good for the ways?

[@curtisvonepp4335]

I'm allso a Rust Olium fan remember the old formula that was Fish oil bace why they stoped making it i DONT know it was bullet proof paint .

[@chieft3357]

More like $200.00 to $300.00. I bought 2 new spindle bearings, the good kind, almost $500.00. All the best with Buffy.

[@Mekhanic1]

Whoa!! Who's the new camera man??

[@91rss]

Re washing bearings, My friend does it at his plant, the room they regrease them is cleaner than an operating room. when you clean a bearing before grease,, Rinse the balls and race with something like acetone or brake clean and light warm air blow off without spinning the balls, as mineral spirits or cleaner tanks leave a film on the surface of the ball/race, and the oils in the grease cant do their job 100%
