Machining a Simple part........Wait a Minute !!!!!

[@ShedBuiltStuff]

That’s ART. Beautiful to just stare at.

[@joepie221]

Thank you.

[@ChrisB257]

Confession - probably didn't think long enough but, hadn't come up with the "Pie" approach. It is most elegant/effective and great to see. More than one way to skin a cat but this one was worthy of a taxidermist! Nice job Joe. :)

[@cmonster6]

Hey Chris hope you’re getting along 👍🏻

[@ChrisB257]

Sort of - but rather slower these days! Thx for asking :)

[@joepie221]

Best wishes Chris.

[@PhotogNT]

I am continually amazed when I see you machining these parts you make it look so easy. Then you insert your hand into the frame and you realise the entire part is only 10% of the size of your thumb nail, amazing. I love your work. A very good friend since passed, was very much like you. I would watch Ian for hours working on his lathe or mill utterly confused by what he was doing and where he was going only to see the part appear almost by magic.

[@tomcren59]

You never cease to amaze me with your craftsmanship, skill and imagination. Great work.!

[@cameronmccreary4758]

(paused) I have done these parts in the past. I would begin with a rectangle piece of steel, clamp the head section in a 4 jaw chuck in the lathe and turn between centers. Then the turned part is clamped in a square collet on the mill and the various machining operations are accomplished on the rectangular head. Nice work Joe; it fits very well.

[@SaltyPuglord]

Haven't looked at anyone else's comment yet... Either machine the "hook" part separately, OR use a square bar big enough to envelope the "hook" part at the head and mount it in a 4-jaw such that the long round diameter can be turned with a live-center in the tailstock. (And/or roller-type steady rest.)

[@Preso58]

I probably would have turned a small spigot on the end of the bolt and silver soldered it to the hook. Pickling and clean up is a pain though. Your method ensures that you don't wind up with a molten blob of brass

[@N1gel]

To watch & listen to Joe's empathy & patience with perfection is always heart strengthening & brain calming. WONDERFUL. After viewing this treasure, I feel greatly calmed & my life has been extended.

[@joepie221]

Thanks for the comment.

[@blankroomsoup666]

That boring bar trick was really neat, I’m keeping it in my bag!

[@joepie221]

its a good one.

[@mattholden5]

Joe, I started making a list of the sub-lessons I learned in this one, and and quickly spiraled into nuance I had to experience to understand. Amazing output, as always. Here are my key take aways: Run the tool backwards to establish a witness cut on radially-constrained features. This is to keep as much original material as possible. On tiny components, the remaining base material is important even if you can't see what was removed. Make each witness cut with the motor in reverse,, independently, to eliminate ambiguity about which one influenced the outcome. Measure and evaluate. Subsequent exterior features should be plunged to depth (or until cutter depth approaches 3x slot diameter). Repeat as necessary,. No shallow , broad cuts deep radial features. Only extend X/Y planar motion to the edge of the part. Over-travel is likely to kick up a burr when the system (cutter and bearings) unloads. Keep your machine tolerances working FOR you Keep your tools sharp, and your brain sharper. Thanks for sharing. In case anyone other than the content creator reads this: Take a YT break and try to set this up in your own machine. You're probably going to find some things that need adjustment, which will make everything you do with that machine better.

[@michaelryan6884]

Very elegant solution, Joe...I'm very impressed.

[@takedeadaim8671]

Great to see the upside down reverse threading operation in the bonus footage! In my work I frequently have to accurately thread the end of long tubes that have a spiral feature inside the tube. Concentricity and co-axial alignment are important both on the OD thread and precision internal shape on the ID of one end of the tube. Set up is critical and time intensive involving multiple dial indicators. Threading away from the shoulder eliminates the heart stopping moment, potential damage to the workpiece and loss of the precision set up time

[@joepie221]

Showing that technique was my first channel video and responsible for the rest of the material.

[@takedeadaim8671]

@@joepie221 That was the first video of yours I saw and it made me realize there where at least three of us, you, the guy who taught me and me. Since then you have taught me a lot of set up techniques and some great techniques for de tangling spiders. I even read the patents you were involved in for the medical fixtures. As a retired Paramedic and someone who’s lower and mid back are held together with some pretty extensive hardware, I’ve also had some facial work around my eye socket and 6 weeks ago had my arthritis ravaged toe fused. When it heals they will do the other foot. I’m sure you sorted out what I work on now. We’re it not for surgeons and toolmakers who figured out how to fix broken people I would not be walking and would have no sight in one eye. I guess what I’m saying is THANKS JOE.

Watching you do some of the work you do is magic! Today I was trying to figure out how to do a tricky setup on the mill and thought, "what would Joe do?" Then remembered an early video that you had done and got it squared away. Thank you for all you do to enlighten us.

[@joepie221]

[@billoxley5315]

I would have made a mess out of that one. Impressive work holding.

[@stacy6014]

Like many of the comments below, your videos always show great ideas on setups and processes that I can learn from. Just last week I was trying to figure out how to cut a radius on a part on the rotary table. Yep, you have a video about cutting 2 different size radius and how to do the layout. Very clear and easy for me to understand. You would have been a good teacher in school. Thanks for the videos. Joe Hynes

[@Throughthebulkhead]

Hi Joe, great build series! Do you realize that your barrel is upside down? The reunions are in the lower part of the barrel. This is so that the cannons can fire into the opponents hill in close quarters broadsides, as you have it they cannot be aimed low enough 😊

[@peterpocock9062]

A neat clever solution Joe, I would not have thought to do it your way! However,I would have gone down the 2 piece route too. I would have drilled and tapped the top piece and either soft soldered or maybe silver sodered the 2 together. It's always good to learn other ideas tho'. Thanks.

[@joepie221]

If the top shelf was thicker, I may have gone that way, but the load is pulling down on the shaft so I had to be careful with the solution.

Segmenting the rod immediately reminded me of the engineering change to the support rods of the Hyatt Regency Skywalker that collapsed in Kansas City, MO. I'm this change will be fine here, but it did remind of that disaster.

I was thinking soldering a solid center instead of a screw. Much more interested in the way you machined the trunnion. That's two very interesting "small parts" videos this weekend. Stefan Gotteswinter showed some very small machining also.

[@RichardBennett-hx8sr]

Fantastic I would never have thought of doing in in that setup thanks for this video.

I made the second one in a rotary indexer and indicated the part into the square collet block for the final vertical op's. It was much more convenient initially. ( plus I didn't have to film it )

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

on the full size cannons, pretty sure these were originally made of multiple parts banged together by a blacksmith, because the revolution in mass production started toward the end of the industrial revolution with the mass production of small arms which could be easily interchanged and stocked with spare parts. Just a conjecture though, feel free to provide evidence to the pro or con. thanks ~Mike

Interesting milling. But at 66 with a couple simultaneous strokes and heart attacks and 5 Bypass surgery under your belt there are sometimes, too many times like this afternoon that my mind just doesn’t want to think/visualize in in 2D yet alone 3D like it used to. Between a life of 46 years living in chronic pain with sleep deprivation and either the Duloxetene and/or the Neurontin which are part of my prescribed pain management protocols I have had trouble thinking and envisioning things as I was able to before starting them those meds many years ago. Hoping some pending neck and back surgeries will eliminate the need for both, or one or at least a considerable reduction in dosage of those two meds to see if my ability to visualize such activities will return on how to do mechanical things associated with such activities. Some days I wonder if my dreams and hopes to have a hobby machine shop with potential side income is a valid reality. But, I still enjoy watching others do it. Oh well, as long as you can stay safe and have some extra materials it’s only time and materials to try again in your efforts and it’s just learning how to and how not to do it. Damnit I still want to do machining with something more than a metal saw, grinder, drill, file and emery cloth. LOL. As always enjoy your videos with narration of first showing what you are going to build and how you are going to do it. Really enjoy your many years of knowledge broken down for us pre-novices/wannabe machinists like myself.

I’d make it as two pieces; turn the long piece, then make the hinge piece, then join them with either a small screw or tapered pin. Once done, silver solder the two together and clean up (the silver solder, and any flux.)

My Dad always said the most valuable bit of Blacksmithing a toolmaker can learn is how to upset a bar. If you can increase the diameter by 50% to accommodate a feature you can half the cost of the stock required.

I would make it in two parts, a 1/8th bar and make the other part from a square bar and drill a hole, then silver solder or weld. Good work, well done.

[@LoneEagle2061]

Same basic concept; but riveted… Create the hinge, drill a hole through centred on the shaft and 1.5-2mm diameter with a good deburring chamfer on the top face; then create the shaft. Get a good shoulder and make it over-length at a good fit to the hole by the thickness of the plate plus 0.5mm? (maybe more). Fit the two together and peen the upstand down. Finally dress the mushroom off the top to get back to a flat plate. The metal filling the chamfer and the hoop stress in the plate should be more than enough.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@LoneEagle2061 Also a solution.

[@samrodian919]

Yes that's the way I'd have gone about it, but Joe's solution is a true machinists way of doing it.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@samrodian919 Very true. I also like the idea of making the end of the rod in such a way as you can rivet it as suggested by someone else.

Press fit and peen would have been a great way to go as well.
