(+1 like) for posting on Friday. I think only my Thursday's are open now. Unless that's when James Kilroy posts, if so I'm covered already. I can't remember if he is on a schedule or just when its done it gets posted. I wonder if your form would have held held up full to the top with sand. I even thought about suggesting rammed molding sand since you have that, but I have never done anything like you doing so I better just keep quiet. Too late for that I guess. Good luck

You have a large following of guys that are super supportive, and we will watch no matter what your doing because we like what you do, so don't worry about all the fools out there! lol. Congrats on the 30K subscribers. Well said on the failures. I think when people see someone else fail, we all tune in. Its like people gauking at a wreck on the interstate. Same thing happens on my channel. I normally get 1000-1500 views on average videos.

Hello Keith, Again an interesting Odd & Ends and because of you're video's I'm now spending much more time in my little shed behind the house. For the past weeks I bought some new machines such as an little wood mill, and things like an recipro saw. About your channel, I like all of the video's you make and there is not a special item I only view. And that you get so much subscribers is also because you are always very friendly and explain all very good. Looking forward to video's of the new to build shop and of course the second try building the oven.

Nice news on the shop. Sounds like it will be big enough to get a little separation of your woodworking and metal tools to avoid sawdust issues. I have a 30x40 that is pretty big, but it also holds the utility tractor, lawn mower, etc. as well. The previous owner serviced semi-tractors in it, so it has tall ceilings, which makes it a little more difficult to heat in the winter with all of the extra volume and heat rising.

Mr. Rucker I am a new viewer to your channel; and I have found it fascinating to watch. It's interesting to me on many different levels. Many of my fondest memories as a young man in the late 60's, were spent with my good friend, in his garage, fabricating and working on cars together. I remember when he bought his first lathe. He went on to make a living as a machinist/performance car builder and I took a different path. I so enjoy watching your projects and learning as I watch. I am trying very hard not to "binge watch" your posts, but to watch only two or three per day so they will last me for a while. I enjoy the machining segments as well as the Odds & Ends segments. Thanks for a most enjoyable and quality KZbin channel.

Hey Keith, 1. I learned a lot from your "failure" with the pour. Thanks for being brave enough to share. 2. I'm really looking forward to the K&T milling machine slip clutch repair. I was one who really enjoyed the dividing head video, and I learned a lot from it. Hope to learn here, too. 3. Great news about the new shop building. I had a small one built last summer (due to city codes and regulations it had to be small, but I love it, because it is just how I wanted it). When my uncle built a new machine shed for his farm equipment, his neighbors said to figure out how many square feet he would need for everything, and then double it. Good advice if you can manage it. 4. Looking forward to the new Friday publishing schedule. Thanks for picking an open day. Great work, Keith. Keep it up! Thanks again. Joe

Another great video, looking forward to the shop build. I bought a pile of used end mills at an auction, most of the large end mills (> 1") were CCW. I wonder if the larger diameter required some machines to use the back gear or it was more convenient to use the back gears for the larger diameters to get the speeds set.

Keith, that round nose cutoff is actually a trepanning tool I believe, which is why it has a curve to its profile. I used to be a machinist in a foundry and used them all the time on an old Warner Swasey production turret lathe for rough trepanning the OD on brass and bronze pump impeller castings. They would cast one impeller but we would rough them out to different diameters per print to use in different volute housings. The sides were ground on that one because they more than likely were using it for a different diameter than intended; shop modified. :-)

I have a friend with a 40x60' shop and it is wonderful. I can see going to 40x80 when you are really into vintage machinery and larger tools and projects. I am working in a three car garage that also holds a freezer, washer and dryer, garden tools and supplies, and a lifetime collection of 'stuff.' It even still fits one car! I sure wish I had a dedicated shop with more room, decent climate control, good security, and better lighting. I am really interested in watching your long term dream finally become realized.

Your story about inadvertently using a shrink rule made me chuckle. In 1957 I was 4th engineer on an oil tanker which dry docked in Japan. I needed a narrow rule so purchased one in a local hardware store. The first job that I did was grossly out of size. Closer inspection revealed that the rule was graduated at ten inches to the foot on one side and the proper twelve inches on the other. Those tricky Japanese had decimalized the foot!

The coke fired cupolas were done with a type of spray creat refractory . The big ladles were done with refractory bricks by the brickies as are the base exchange units we had six bug the melt zone was graphite blocks.

Door height and width are very important as well. Mine is 8' high ( not high enough ) but it is 12' wide which is kinda ok. I feel sure you already know. Good luck with the build.

Marcel Timmers I have not decided what I am going to do about the mills yet. I will probably end up trying to find another larger horizontal mill for the home shop and leave the K&T 2H at the museum. The Wells Index will probably come home. I have considered buying a Bridgeport head and adapting it to the horizontal mill so that I can have the best of both worlds on one machine at the museum. That would also free up some space at the museum and still give me what I need to work with when I am out there.

When heating a shop consider using ceiling fans(variable speed) to circulate the air. After the Huckleberry shop got fans it really helped by not having above the office be in the 80's and the floor in the 50's. You might consider using a wood stove arrangement along with a conventional heater as is used in shops and other open spaces. You have a lot of wood in the area. Use a reflective barrier besides regular insulation to cut heat gain in the summer.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you. I've been searching for a spindle speed panel casting or picture of one for my B & S 7b plain mill. I've found that it was sold in 1909 for $750, serial number 1486. The spindle speed panel is a relatively small horizontal rectangle that attaches to speed control gearbox along the top casing edge. Any ideas to help with my search? The museum in Vermont ignores me. I found a picture of what I need on the practical machinist site submitted in 2007 but it cannot be read. I downloaded and printed the 1909 B & S sales document that is on your site. I managed to find a drawing for a missing part for my machine and learned that it was made before interchangeable parts for this machine. The part is dimensioned with fractions and the finished surfaces are noted with an "F". This not a belt driven machine.

Atul Sohan If you have been watching my series on the furnace build, you will see where I am on it right now. After my last setback, it is probably going to be later this summer before I can get some more material to work with.

Keith, I know concrete floors are easy and quick, but they are absolutely unforgiving. They are not only hard on dropped tools, they are knee, ankle, and foot killers. I would consider putting a wood floor in the woodworking area at least. Yes you can get fatigue mats, but they work better at stations where you remain for long periods. In areas where you move from station to station frequently (as in woodworking) they tend to be trip hazards. Take it from an old man, your body doesn't get any less sensitive to pain and discomfort as you grow older. Just my $.02 for what it is worth, Don't Kelly it, Rollie

***** I am very familiar with Fred Dinbah - I think I have watched everything I can find on him on KZbin. Amazing guy! In fact, I was just talking about him to somebody the other day. I am not sure that I come anywhere close to stacking up to his abilities and personality, but I do think that the both of us had some similar interests. I sure would have liked to have known him personally.....

f you're thinking 40X80 as I id in the past, go 100X50. at least 10 feet at the eves. If I had gone with the original 40X80 I'd have been sorry. The wife said make sure it's large enough so we aren't wishing we had or start adding on later. Run all the conduit under the concrete pour, water and electric. At least one additional sub panel in the rear. Plenty lighting.

Julian P. Thanks - I am pretty much limited to 80' on the depth where I want to put the building. But, I am planing off the bat to go ahead and add a 20' side shed down one side for outside storage that can easily be enclosed at a later date by pouring concrete floor and adding a few walls. So, expansion is already in the game plan!

Julian P. As an industrial mechanic I detest services buried in and or under the floor. Difficult to repair, and impossible to move. Mostly because concrete moves with the earth as ground freezes and thaws or if the earth dries out. Then you end up with broken water lines, and shorted electrical lines. It may not be pretty but keeping your services where you can get to them makes life easy down the road.

garygsp3 I run the conduit below the crete so it can shift all it likes, has no bearing on my lines. Always a chance of loosing a line, but 15 years into this building and there hasn't been an issue. Only powering service panels that way. However I've seen more above grade water lines do damage than below grade.
