New Scrapyard Finds! Repair-A-Thon!

[@DazzaDirect]

thanks for giving us the German words both written and pronounced, whilst i have have no real plans to learn Technical German i do find it really adds to a unique, interesting and informative dimension to your videos, thanks for the upolad

[@LastofAvari]

German technical terms are making everything 80% more steam-punk :)

[@Reman1975]

I've bought a fair few old German power tools and garage equipment to recondition and use over the years, And I have to say that I hadn't given a single thought about any of the info on the stickers and plates other than the make and model when having to order replacement parts........... until now. I'm now strangely curious about what all the rest of the stuff that was wrote on them said ?

[@markc2371]

if motor was turning the wrong direction why didn't you just turn the machine around and mount the tool rest and switch on the other side?

Woodworkers never have enough clamps. Post apocalyptic inventors never have enough motors.

I insanelly like your scrapyard ressurection videos. So many things thrown out because the person needed to quickly get rid of something.

[@josephatnip2398]

my work through away five Bridgeport vertical Mills big ones because they replaced them with brand new CNC Mills there was nothing wrong with the old ones they were just manual ....I took one home I figure even if I never do wire it up in my workshop I'll be able to turn around and sell it for a few thousand dollars

These videos are the best, by far my favorite content made by you!

[@shonaoneill5151]

Agreed, these videos are great.

[@superrodder2002]

I always enjoy videos of junk yard excursions. Lots of interesting stuff to be found. When I take a load of scrap metal to my local recycling center, I often bring home more than I took in.

[@jimsweet6574]

Great videos! Lately I find myself "lingering" over every scrap pile whenever I go out and about!

[@David-yh5po]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I enjoy your ideas for reusing or making new things from old things.

[@netrapatil2169]

Now I am addicted to your videos man... I have been continuously watching your videos for more than 8hours

[@peterharms3639]

You could’ve changed the rotational direction of the induction motor, by simply swapping the end plates around, fundamentaly inverting the windings. We used to do this to HVAC fan motors if the correct direction motors weren’t available. Just means the power cable is exiting the motor at the drive end, usually not too much of a problem. Keep up the great work, just found your channel and love it. Cheers from Australia.

[@jasondurham3581]

It is very impressive that you can teach in both Deutsche and English. It conveys that you know your subject very well. I really enjoy your scrapyard finds.

[@tegan71969]

Tip: Use steel wool to help remove the paint during stripping. Apply the stripper, let it process for the manufacturer listed amount of time, then use heavy steel wool while the stripper is still processing. The steel wool will continue the stripping reaction, will remove the paint in hard to get to areas, and will save time by having to do the stripping once.

[@kingofthepod5169]

At the local museum they had the same motor direction problem on an 18horsepower steam engine. Their solution was to install the belt in a figure “8” way instead of a “0” way. however your solution is more user serviceable for the motor and easier to allow for futute modding. Love the channel you get a subscriber and a supporter when I get my next job.

[@mohsinrasul7140]

I like the scrap yard visits - where people see junk - we see treasure.

[@wilfridkolarik6110]

The class video and one quality job of professional, one good moment with you. Tank you very much.

[@agm3673]

So lucky to have such a nice scrapyard nearby

[@daos3300]

the old sheet metal roller is incredible! i'm almost tempted to come all the way to cologne just for that..

[@sparkyprojects]

The 'metal press' is a sheet roller, can be used to make cylinders or just bending metal in a curve For the motor, the winding that is in series with the capacitor can be reversed with respect to the main winding. Another thought is that maybe you could take the motor apart and swap the end caps so the shaft comes out of the other end

[@sapote69]

yes, I got a bit surprised that he didn't know what it was. knowing how knowledgeable he is on so many different engineering areas.

[@guymandude999]

I was thinking it was for making bomb and torpedo casing.

[@heru-deshet359]

Wish I could find a scrapyard like this where I live.

[@waltercooling8907]

You have produced another enjoyable and informative video- I look forward to more ...

[@donaldbarnett8045]

I love scrap yards and mechanical junk oh! and your scrap yard videos of course. There is nothing quite so relaxing as turning wood on a lathe.

[@DonylynKnives]

Must be nice to be able to go motor shopping in your own store! 😂 Love this series!!

[@standintheback9085]

I love your junkyard videos...you know so much, I am amazed how you make this look easy.

[@hybridamericandude3575]

I wish you were my neighbor. We have very similar interests and I enjoy watching your work.

[@IrishSkruffles]

The bearings in the lathe sound pretty rough, maybe consider replacing them at some point? I love the little vise, such a magical scrapyard

[@Hellsong89]

i was thinking too that there is so much amazing stuff there. I wish i got my hands into ac-dc tig, specially one of those old ones that last last last and still last

[@frazier2412]

1:50 That's a sheet metal roller. They are used by sheet metal workers to make a variety of things.

[@jimdavis8391]

Same model as the first wood lathe I owned; the 'bed' was so flimsy it bent when you tightened the tailstock so I used a wooden board underneath to make it more ridgid.

[@WAVETUBE84]

A video of you taking the hazardous waste to the proper waste facility would be great. In USA there are HAZMAT facilities that sometimes have "give-aways". That is GOOD cans of carburetor cleaner, paints, paint strippers, boiled linseed oil, paint thinner, turpentine, lacquer thinner... and all sorts of other stuff. All of which is very expensive (nowadays).

[@AngryHybridApe]

1:53 Grab that pinch roller dude. You needed one in the last video I watched. When you made a bugle for the horn.

[@WreckDiver99]

2:00 Sheet Roller...nice items if you need to bend sheet metal, wire rod, or tubes into circles/curves

[@huibvanderveur3015]

I always Love how you have The knowledge to identificate certain things on machinery!

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Nice work! Another option would have been to drill through the spur mandrel and threaded shaft, and insert a pin to prevent the spur from unthreading, and then flip the lathe around so the motor is on the right side while working.

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Yes more plz. I love these tool rescue/restoration vids. Very creative solution for the motor!

[@apollorobb]

That first big machine is a Roll former turns flat sheet into curved radius sheet . Great Video

[@mecabrico]

You are right... and it was an excellent quality one !

[@guymandude999]

For ww2 bomb and torpedo casings...?

[@Sharkie1717]

Amazing work, well done! I really would like to see the vacuum pump restorations. Cheers!

[@Z-Ack]

Appreciate the time you take to translate and indirectly teach german.. and i need a scrapyard like that where i live.. all i get are office supplies, rusty past useful cars/engines or construction materials.. never anything worth taking out of the scrapyard.. keep it up man, enjoy ya..

[@johnlewis8647]

Thank you for for your time and expertise. I was watching some of your older videos and saw the video when you went to Berlin. Seeing the country side and the autobahn reminded me of a long time ago back in 82 when I was a United States Army medic stationed in Germany. I also think you did a great job on the wood lathe I wish you were closer I would talk you in to selling it to me. You have a great day

[@bakzpf]

This channel is "Dangerously Inspirational." 🤣

[@crawfish069]

Love your show here.

[@TheFurriestOne]

That silver vehicle in the crushed stack at the start looked like a new-version Beetle. That heat-exchanger reminds me of Starwars, when Obi-wan was turning off the Death-star's tractor-beams. You could leave a business card on the fenced-in welder, see if whoever was picking it up would want assistance fixing it up. Fascinating design on that vice, I'd not seen one with the rear jaw being the moving one until now! Great work on the wood lathe, now you can have round legs on things you build!

[@wimwiddershins]

When you said the rotational direction was wrong, I thought that's that It's great you persevered and made it work. You have a very powerful lathe now!

[@HootMaRoot]

Just found your channel and it has to be the best restoration channel out there as you spend time to speak over the video

You are great to get too many useful tools and many room to keep them

[@magnumtrooper17]

2:20 "it would have been much rustier... and i would have seen it before" one of the funniest lines in any of his videos

[@johnpossum556]

Great to bring that old lathe back to life. A couple of notes: I don't understand why people like the paint removing chemicals so much. I prefer the wire wheel. With a fine one you can get into the crevices quite well. I don't know if it's my imagination but that looked like a common thread, maybe 1 by 8tpi. I think you can get standard chucks for that. I bought a bunch by a welder, you could probably make them. Use a nut and weld a washer to it. Drill a couple of holes in it for wood screws and you can mount bowl blanks on that. Believe it or not if you use a piece of scrap wood you can glue your workpiece on with a brown paper bag in between and it will not fly off. Removal is easy as you pry with a chisel the paper rips in half and releases your part. It's a very handy old woodworker's trick so there are no screws in what you are trying to turn and it costs basically nothing. If you get the same size pulley as above, you can mount it to your motor 180 on the shaft and the speed changing part will be so much easier. Wood turning is a lot of fun. Part of the fun can be making your own turning tools and fixtures (which I'm sure would make a great video series). The reason your cut was ragged is because you need to learn to "skew cut" google it. Also learn how to sharpen a bowl gouge or "irish grind" for great internal cuts. For roughing gouges I cut open a car machpherson strut cartridge and made my own. The more mass the less vibration comes through your tool to your hands/body.

[@mattymcsplatty5440]

just turn the lathe around lol Looks like u can use a stud welder. it welds bolts etc to whatever. colin furze uses one. very cool item. love yr scrapyard finds and especially the repairs

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

Awesome video..very good job at fabricating a new motor housing...that machine will live on thanks to you.

[@yeagerxp]

Very good work 👍👍👍. Since you have access to the junk yard find the material to make a sand blasting box. No more chemicals

[@electronic7979]

Very good 👍

[@visvivacnckenya1620]

I can't believe this is junk yard.. Damn I wish I lived there.. All those Motors/tools would be sold as working tools here in kenya

[@mecabrico]

As I understand you ! It is so distressing to see the number of excellent old machines that are destroyed here, simply because they are no longer used, or more profitable. Or machines that are deliberately destroyed simply because an inspector has decided that they no longer meet today's safety standards. :-(

[@Rayzor714]

Brilliant work on the lathe

[@idontsleepidream]

This shop is my absolute dream.

[@mans4104]

You can unscrew the motor, take the stator and flip it 180, and the motor will turn the other direction. : ) Jose

[@simonrichard9873]

I still can't believe how clean these cars are

[@callindrill]

Get yourself a bowl gouge, and you'll be turning with the pros in no time! Nice restoration.

[@OleArin]

Just a little tip about woodturning: holding the tool with one hand at the tool rest and the other hand on the handle gives you the best control over the shaping of the wood.

[@colinstu]

I enjoy these videos! Also I don't mind a video being a little late if it means you can make things work the way you want them to (like having that lathe motor have an adjustable mount, adding the vent holes, etc etc).

[@Barrysworkshop]

I enjoy your videos, and am happy to see you working on a wood lathe. My first thought when I saw the lathe that it wasn't very torsionally rigid, but you addressed that with your steel tube welding. 👏 The ability to change speeds when woodturning is more than just a convenience, it's also a major safety feature. I suggest you get a stepped pulley for the motor drive so that you can adjust the spindle speeds to a set of steps between about 500-800 RPM on the low end and around 3000 on the high end. You'll also need a way to easily remove and re-add tension to the belt as you change speeds. Small pieces (like the one you turned as a demo) can be turned faster, but larger items must be slower. Large pieces turning fast can do incredible damage when things go wrong. Best wishes

[@David-yh5po]

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@frogjunk]

Hey bud! Yes these are good videos! Good to see someone who actually uses and repairs the things that have alot of life left. Also good to see you leave the things you don’t actually need.

[@andyZ3500s]

The scrap yard is interesting as Where I live now there are no places close by. I love the way that you go about fixing things as alot of my tooling was done the same way. I find the electrical information the most helpful to me.

[@arjav8930]

That motor mount though thats what called think out of the box😲👌👍👍👍

[@HolzMichel]

to get the correct turning speeds on the spindle you need another pulley with several sheaves just like the one on the head spindle. then mount it in opposition on the motor shaft.

[@JustinTopp]

2:14 that’s a sheet metal bender for use in a metal shop. Those things are beastly. I’ve seen similar that can bend like 1”+ thick steel

[@shalormckee2784]

1:55 it's a slip roller for making pieces of metal either rounded or completely circular

[@sburns1967]

If that paint remover is butyl alcohol based spread it about 2-3mm thick then cover the part in plastic for 24 hour. The plastic cover prevents evaporation or drying and makes the product work much better.

[@entenbutter5478]

02:00 The machine is used to bend or specifically for rolling metall sheets . Pls keep up the good work and lets hope more people get interested in repairing stuff instead of throwing it away .

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

@ 2:03 its for bending metal sheets. to make Curves. If strong enough to Flatten it.

[@pixelpatter01]

Two additional methods of removing paint from cast iron and steel are using your oxygen acetylene torch cutting bar and the electrolysis rust removal setup with sodium carbonate solution. Using the electrolysis to remove paint is just like removing rust and the paint will float off. I won't reiterate the method here as many other sites describe it in detail. Using the oxygen cutting torch is quick but messy. You set the flame as if you were going to cut steel, but instead of preheating the metal you just put the flame on the paint and immediately hit the oxygen lever which causes the paint to burn off with a lot of flame. The underlying metal doesn't even get very hot as the action is so quick, but with flaming bits of paint popping off in every direction. Don't do this inside you shop, but outside in a safe area. It will also remove grease, oil, and plastic.
