Odds & Ends 21: Viewer Mail, New Tools, and a little bragging....

[@BuildSomthingCool]

Congratulations on your daughters victory. I think it's great that you're proud of your daughter keep it up, PS. Great video! Dale D

[@frednewman2162]

I second this thought! You should have put up a couple of pics showing them shooting or receiving awards!!

[@IceManTX69]

That 7-8 micrometer in the box with all the paperwork seems like an incredible steal. Love seeing old tools that have been taken care of. Congrats to Hannah!

[@bcbloc02]

Congrats to the master Hanna! A left hand helix with a right hand cut tends to push the cutter towards the arbor and against the spindle and provides a more rigid setup, I think this is common for cutting tough grades of stainless and some materials like inconel and titanium. It also deflects the cutter towards the work and makes it take a slightly deeper cut than intended vs a standard right hand helix and direction of cut that tends to push away and take a slightly shallow depth of cut than intended. I think if you use the cutter you will find if you do a reverse cut after making a pass it won't make a spring cut like a standard end mill will.

[@daleyurk4369]

Keith, congratulations to your daughter! And, as usual, great video! Thank you.

[@JunkMikesWorld]

Congratulations to you and your daughter! That is some wonderful news. Thanks for sharing it with us. All The Best! Mike

[@waynekwoods2799]

Keith nice video. It is so good to be able to praise are children's accomplishments . Hopefully they will carry forward to do great things in there lives. Keep up the great work & video's

[@dennyskerb4992]

Hey Keith, great odds & ends video. Even if the volume was off, that look on your face says proud father. Congrats on the family win.

[@silveradoman298]

Another great video Keith. Thanks to Roy for the video footage on how to work the mystery rail tool. Also congrats on your daughters 4h accomplishment. Im sure she put alot of work and practice into it.

[@goptools]

Hi Keith, Nice ebay score on the precision tooling! Most importantly, congratulations to Hanna on her individual and team 4H wins! Thanks for sharing with us. -mike

[@135pfox]

Congratulations on the 4H accomplishment! My daughter also went through the 4H program and it prepared her for adulthood in more ways than we realized at the time. Keep it up to both Hanna and Keith!

[@robertfauls2958]

I always enjoy your videos, and a big congratulations to your daughter on her accomplishments in air rifle. I shoot indoor air rifle during the winter months and I know how challenging it can be. Good Job!!!

[@cliffordfender1159]

As always, GREAT video !!!! Keep em coming !!!! Cliff

[@davidcashin9194]

Hi Keith Congratulations to Hanna for her awesome achievement also another great video look forward to all of them. Dave

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Enjoyed the video as always! You have a rather accomplished daughter! I know you're proud of her. Congratulations!

[@PhilsProjects]

Nice video Keith, and Congratulation to your Daughter, you have every right to be proud. Cheers Phil.

[@artemiasalina1860]

Congratulations to Hanna, that's really something to be proud of, alright! Roy, thanks for the video explaining the track maintenance tool. It was very interesting!

[@WreckDiver99]

PROUD PAPA MOMENT! Congrats to your Daughter...and of course to you and your wife for supporting her!!!!

[@VintageMachinery]

Thank you!

[@swarfrat311]

Keith, Congratulations on your daughter's victory! I can tell from the glow on your face that Dad is very proud! Thanks for sharing all your tool aquisitions. That was an interesting video on the use of the track adjustment tool. Now days, it's all welded rail and concrete ties. Will that micrometer be useful for measuring hat size? :-) That was a steal! I would hate to think what a Starrett mic that size would go for new! Thanks again! Have a good one! Dave

[@vajake1]

Congratulations Hanna Rucker! Well done!

[@RoelTyros]

Hello Keith, It's always a pleasure to so your Odds & Ends and first of all congratulations for you and your daughter Hannah for her shooting. Nice to see how proud you are of your daughter and see an very happy daddy. Besides, about metric, I used to it here in Europe but the strange thing is that measurement for monitors and tv's are always in inch. Mostly I don't know the diagonal from a tv or monitor in centimeters but only know the size of it in inch. Same with the size of car tires here in Europe who are always in inch. Anyway thanx for the nice Odd & Ends and many greetings from Roel out of the Netherlands, a very windy Netherlands with storms and heavy weather .

[@MatthewTinker-au-pont-blanc]

Here in France big sticks of solder like that are used for zinc roof work. Regards, Matthew

[@wchandlerjr]

Congrats to Hanna! That is awesome; I know that you and your wife are extremely pleased with her perfomance. Hope to see her in the Olympics soon.

[@toolguy6057]

The watch band tool you showed is available at Harbor Freight. They also come with a slightly larger diameter push pin to insert the pin back into the band. Congrats on your Daughters win!

[@jcknives4162]

Congratulations DAD!! I taught my Grand Daughter how to shoot. One day, she said, Grandpa, is the thing at the front of the rifle supposed to line up with the thingy at the back of the rifle? Well, yes it is Little Bird. Her shooting went from 8 inch paper to 1 inch plastic army men. What fun. Oh, and she was 4 years old. :) enjoy dad!!

[@wnebergall]

It is nice to see a proud papa and love hearing some of the personal stuff makes it more real Would have liked to see the machining I can always learn from different setups and tooling

[@wnebergall]

That would be great Hate to miss an opportunity

[@outsidescrewball]

Enjoyed!! Congrats to Hanna!

[@Rexfuyther]

Those large LH acme threads are very common in those huge valves on water mains to large buildings.

[@mikeadrover5173]

As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~

[@Tranartz]

Please keep these videos coming. I'm not handy in the shop but I learn someting everytime I watch you on Utube.

[@Kevin-qg3lp]

Congratulation to you & your daughter!

[@Abom79]

Enjoyed the updates Keith! really nice tools you got there on Ebay. That mic is super sweet. Hey, was the big endmill you showed left hand? Or left hand spiral? I've been scoring some really good tools lately myself. I think I'll take a break though. I have my new shop construction happening and need to save my money. LOL Talk to ya later buddy. Adam

[@muhaahaloa941]

Abom79 Hey abom hope all's well not saw a video for a few weeks unless i missed some thing.

[@Abom79]

Muhaa Haloa a I've had had a new SNS each weekend. Got some footage of another project I'll start sharing soon.

[@muhaahaloa941]

Abom79 Sweet thanks Abom best wishes..

[@cemx86]

Those Starrett pocket charts also have listed the drill sizes for taps (fractional, metric and pipe taps at 75% depth of cut) and decimal conversions of fractional/letter/number drills. Pretty darn handy charts which you can readily and inexpensively find on eBay.

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

cemx86 If you find a mailing address in US, they are free from Starrett

[@Joeyardmaster40155]

Hi Keith, That Acme tap was probably used for making the stem nuts for six to ten inch gate valves. >Joe

[@martinrohm5469]

Congrats to your daughter, She has the potential to take it far. good score on the mic.

[@componenx]

I also had an R8 end mill holder (1/2") that would not accept double ended cutters. Apparently many imports are like that. A few weeks ago I came across another 1/2" holder at an estate sale that did accept them- I'm now glad I didn't sell off my 1/2" mills!

[@RickRose]

Great odds and ends video, and congrats to Hannah!

[@morrisgallo2361]

Congrats on your daughter's accomplishments. I hope she continues in her shooting endeavors either through the military (Ft. Benning AMU close to home) or through the many lucrative college scholarships available for shooters, especially females. I definitely noticed a tightening of the apron due to a swelling of the chest as you announced her accomplishments

[@RandallMoore1955]

Way to go Hannah. And thank you Keith for fine show and tell, Always a pleasure you bet.

[@VintageMachinery]

Randall Moore Thanks again Randall!

[@dolf92]

Dear Keith, thanks for uploading your videos. I find all of them very interesting as I am into vintage machines and engines. You are also an inspiration to me along with Mrpete222,Keith fenner,doubleboost, and many others. I am messaging from my hospital bed In Germany, I return to UK next week.Please congratulate your daughter on her achievements at the weekend. Do you ever come across the old hotbulb engines in the US? I happen to like these but seem to be quite rare here! I will introduce myself properly at a later date. Keep up the restorations. I wish I could go back in time to 1920,s. Keep restoring those beautiful machines. Manny

[@dolf92]

***** Hi Keith, its Hot bulb engine from I believe the 1900,s. These are not made in model engineering. A blow torch was used to heat the top of the engine, then they were cranked over until firing. They were used after steam and a lot in as marine engines. From 1 cylinder to 4 I believe. These were massively constructed with a top rpm of 375. They idled at 60 to 75 rpm. They had a lot of torque and could swing really large propellers. Thanks for the reply Manny

[@SuperBowser87]

What a great deal on the starrett caliper. Congratulations! Also congratulations to your daughter. You should be very proud. I'm sure you are. For some reason I have never heard in your videos what you do for a living that you travel all of the time. Could you please tell me? Thanks as always for your time and effort Keith.

[@SuperBowser87]

WOW KEITH! You sound like a busy man.

[@1tulip]

Yesterday, High School. Tomorrow State Champ! Onward, to the OLYMPICS!! Go Hannah!!!

[@horneygeorgeforge7079]

Proud Dads has every right to Brag! Crongrats! team and individual is Very good Job ! I am curious if she will continue maybe with larger calibers later? I hope she keeps having Fun! and thanks for sharing!

[@Landrew0]

Still a few sound issues around 6:00 and 10:15.

[@ronkluwe4875]

Keith; The clue to the age of your micrometer is that it measures to .0001". The earliest Starrett catalog that lists a 436 with .0001" accuracy is the 1955 catalog. My guess is this is a late 1950's vintage. The micrometer looks to be in great shape, nice buy on that one. Regards; Ron Kluwe

[@stevew.3249]

Congrats to your daughter and her team for the win. and for some nice scores on eBay. Steve,

[@Dan.Whiteford]

Great video throughout, loved the track video insert and special congratulations to Hannah on her achievements, Could she go further i.e. interstate or regional for example?

[@leeh.4453]

Congrats to Hanna. You go, Girl.

[@CMKenneth]

12:45 why is it that newer ideas are not as surprising? my cellphone has a few million transistors in it, and its the result of about as many engineer hours over the years. and it still doesn't feel half as clever as that mystery tool. i guess we just take this stuff for granted.

[@cliffordfender1159]

I love that, You're A family man !!!! Cliff

[@JackHoying]

Congratulations to your daughter! That's quite an accomplish! (I drove by a sign here in Ohio last weekend that said it was the birthplace of 4H) I sent an email about the gear cutter that you are looking for.

[@JackHoying]

***** When I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s, we mostly did the typical wood projects in the winter, and then we showed steers in the summer. My older brothers were more into showing the animals than I was. I remember them living at the county fair all week, sleeping in the back of a pickup truck with the stock racks wrapped in the old style tarps. Nothing inside but a few straw bales.

[@sniels7]

congrats! hanna.

[@roberthayden4512]

It is good to hear about your daughters accomplishments. A few photos of her and her team competing would be greatly appreciated if she doesn't mind the publicity. I really enjoy your videos, I have watched all of them since I acquired my 16" South Bend just after last Christmas. I think I have learned a lot from you, Pete222, Dan, Adam, and a few others. She who must be obeyed says I watch You Tube too much. I tell her I'm in School again. Robert Hayden

[@chucktipton9596]

Hi Keith, Not sure but it looks like you are using a sennheiser wireless. I've noticed in your videos some noise of occasion, I have the same problem with mine. Try using some good electronic spray cleaner on the jack of the body pack and the jacks on the receiver. Repeat when necessary. Make sure the cleaner is safe for plastic. Really enjoy your videos, keep it up. Chuck

[@ClintGrantham]

Where in Alabama is the store where you found the air hoses?

[@vajake1]

Where the heck have you been? I've been looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@vajake1]

I am very glad to see your work again! I was concerned that something may have happened to you or your family. I had considered sending you a message to enquire. It is a funny thing. As a viewer of your work; I feel like I know you, where as to you, the producer of the work; most of your views are strangers and unknown by you. I imagine what I am trying to say is that you have a style and a grace in you manner that causes the viewer to care about you as a person and not just care about the work shown in the video. Keep up the great work!

[@charleslambeth4358]

Congrats to Hanna and to a proud papa

[@varner226]

Congrats to your daughter! Whats the name of the store?

[@one4stevo]

Nice video Keith, Congratulations on Hannah victory wins.

[@SuperBowser87]

You sound like an important man! Seems like it would be a interesting job. Congratulations on your success. You should be proud. Really!

[@SuperBowser87]

Don't sell yourself short Keith!

[@daki222000]

Looking forward to see your daughter at the olympics.

[@TomWalterTX]

Kuddo's to your daughter! So when are you going to start building a 1895 Falling Block Rifle? It's still on my bucket list, but that would be one heirloom rifle to pass down to your daughter!

[@krazziee2000]

thanks for the video

[@stevenacarter77]

Keith i do believe that lead bar is for car body work in 1950's

[@VintageMachinery]

Could be. A lot of lead was used in those days for those kids of repairs.

[@cliffordfender1159]

Keith, I love your new apron !!!!! I ALWAYS WEAR APRONS, I need to know how I can get one. Cliff

[@cliffordfender1159]

Clifford Fender Keith, I'm hoping this gets through to you, as I don't know your E-Mail address. I bet you will know mine when you get this. Keith, you and I have many common interests, based on what I have seen on the videos you produce. I would love to correspond with you through E-Mail from time to time. You seem like the kind of person that I could be friends with. Sincerely,Cliff Fender P.S. I really do like that apron.

[@robertoswalt319]

You have every right to brag on your daughter. Nothing wrong in having pride in her for her accomplishments.

[@jefftingley6827]

the tap looks like the threads on the upper stem on some fire hydrants

[@VintageMachinery]

Jeff Tingley Yes, those are ACME threads as well.

[@ShnitzlHaus]

Nice tooling, I need some :( its expensive!

[@geneelliott2825]

Sound a bit crackly in this episode also, maybe a poor connection or a wire partially broken under the insulation? Seemed like when you were leaning over so maybe the remote mike?

[@gregorywest2029]

So, you go by Mike,s merchandise when in Huntsville?

[@Opinionator52]

Cool video Keith... Thank you! :o) O,,,

[@miles11we]

Speaking of lead being used in plumbing, thats how plumbing got its name, the first forms of plumbing were made using lead pipe, latin = plumbum, thus "Pb" on the table of elements

[@miles11we]

I always find it odd how some things you cant get in your head no matter how often or hard you try but other things you hear once and it just sticks.

[@joshsmith8349]

thay uesd lead like that for auto body work too like bondoh nowadays

[@RyanWeishalla]

There are a couple #8's 14DP on email right now. I keep an eye out for 14DP's as I find a full set in case I decide to create a set of change gears for my Barnes Lathe. If you do not get one and get to the time when your project is coming up, let me know. I think I might have a #8 already out in the shed. I haven't looked at all of them that I have in a couple months. I think I've been looking for a #4.

[@RyanWeishalla]

If the 14DP hob gets a little cheaper, I might look at it. P.S., I mean eBay instead of email in my original post...I figure you probably figured that out.

[@sniels7]

link setter for a bike but not strong enough for that job i was in the right corner...

[@deanerichardson8930]

I like The apron, are they for sale? I don't blame you, I'd be very proud of my child too if she had mastered in shooting twice in one match, GOOD for her. Now will she continue to shoot after high school? Do you also shoot competitively or just your daughter?

[@mattheyse5499]

*****, I wouldn't have minded an apron, as I just had to purchase a new (plain) one.

[@Landrew0]

The bragging is absolutely A-OK.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Great video. My congratulations to Hannah. Don't take any wooden taps. =(;-) Thanks for the video.

[@andymandyandsheba4571]
