The pins are consumable parts. The shim and redrill was to confirm the correct length, and wasn't even the original complaint. 2 were later fabbed on the lathe, and went back to the customer wearing the new pins. Eventually had to fabricate most of the front end of the gas system also. Customer wanted an operational unit, and this one was wankered enough to make fabrication of parts necessary. In all of these videos, (and this one is 3 years old), there comes a point where the filming just has to stop.

Man, the amount of PRACTICAL craftsmanship you show is outstanding. You know allot, but not so much that you forget what guns REALLY are: machines. A gun can look like art, but if it won't run, what is it really? Awesome work!
@john-paulsilke8933 жыл бұрын
If it doesn’t run or is just a wall hanger it’s Art or History possibly both. But if it also runs and is used it is Education, Entertainment and Captivating as well. I like swords as well as guns, possibly more. But I didn’t realize I liked Warhammers and pole arms even more. However until I held such devices/weapons I didn’t “understand” them and was naive to any random comments on those subjects. Holding and using these tools is incredibly enlightening and they’re value far exceeds the total of these qualities.

Was going to comment on "how come you don't have a couple spare Lewis strikers, they're all over the"... Then I realized it's been 20+ years since I last worked on one, and remembered that parts for a lot of MG's have simply disappeared. I remember picking up a "lewis spares tin" with contents at a SAR show in Phoenix for around $5.00 just because a friend had one in .303" and I liked shooting it. They are a ridiculously smooth shooting MG once you set up the clockwork spring to "balance" the action. I can't imagine shooting one much now, as .303" that would be reliable in a Lewis has gotten a bit spendy. Even back in the 90's we had a lot of MkVII ball that was "maypop" where even a MkII BREN would not set it off. (just checked, Sarco still has some strikers. For $15.00 a pop, used. Yikes. ).

I’ve seen many ways to screw things up, and while I’m no engineer I can simply look at a set of plans and quickly spot a dozen or more possible issues, many of which I have never seen before. Think of it as being a fluent English reader and seeing a foreign language written before you. If I wrote a bunch of nonsense, you’d spot it pretty quick, but if I instead translated Russian you’d certainly know it was sensible even if you didn’t understand it. You would even be able to spot if I translated some Chinese in the middle of that Russian writing even if you didn’t know what any of it meant or what languages it was.

11:09 Very sound advice on using a bigger hammer with the same velocity rather than making the smaller hammer hit faster. Easy to forget that materials have set capacities to deform from impacts, and the speed of an impact is as relevant as the actual force involved. A thing that will accept a thousand pounds of force very slowly may respond very badly if you apply just a fraction of that force too quickly for it to adjust.

I think his point is that people will look at a relic like that and forget what it REALLY is: a gun. A machine. If you dance around it because it's art, and are to afraid to bang some stuff around and find somewhat 'crude' ways of solving operational issues, then you are probably left with a paperweight with allot of historical president. Nothing wrong with that, but for it to truly be historical, you sometimes have to think outside the box to keep it running. The way it's intended to be experienced by design. I personally would rather have a gun that shoots than a gun that is 'to spec' and as historically accurate as possible but can't fire.

He can make the part and get the gun back out the door far faster than they can ship it to him, and the customer's money and his time is worth far more than that. Plus, he's good enough that he can "Get in and out and no one will know he was there", which is his usual goal unless he's reworking something so far he puts his own marks on it.

I do this with steel often. Just to be safe, so you don't accidentally put a glass-hard piece in. Forgive me if I am telling you something you already know/do. I love the channel.

11:25 - why a "bigger beater" ?? Because it changes the shape of the force impulse; it lowers the peak force and broadens out the impulse, enabling the delivery of more energy (which is the AREA under the force vs. time curve if you measured it) with less peak force.
