Why does that inner tube needs to be bent?

[@jeffbuss2930]

​@@Sindarulthe Inlet in the flange head is offset whereas the outlet in the bottom is centralised

[@a.karley4672]

Interesting that Kurtis has a couple of *sets* of the right size half-cylinder "dies" to provide the necessary stiffness for controlling where the offset happens. I suspect there's a "shop-made tools" story hiding there. Not the first time he's had to do something like this, clearly, and whenever he needs a new size of dies, he makes them, if there's nothing the right size already in the toolbox.

[@kennlivermore7555]

I wish I had learned skills like this. The tooling and the confidence and ability to literally disassemble anything and fix it and put it back together is incredible.

For a moment there my brain went "wtf?" when you were bending the inner tube but then I remembered that the port is offset at one end and bore centred at the other.

[@v1rotait23]

Hi Kurtis and Karen, since finding your channel appearing in my list a few weeks ago, I've been thoroughly enjoying your channel on grinding, machining and welding the large and heavy steel bits that come through your door. I've proven to myself, as I'm still here, churning my way through video after video showing your fine machining skills on high quality alloy steel, where the swarf just peels off the rod and tube in lovely long spiralling lengths. - Cutting speeds perfectly proven! It's just so relaxing to watch a craftsman machinist, welder, fitter and turner in action! Karen, your video and editing skills are second to none. You've obviously now worked out what positions and angles work really well to capture Kurtis in action through all aspects of his work. As an technician engineer in radio communications for nearly 30 years in New Zealand and also Victoria, my long ago machine shop engineering training and skills learnt in the high voltage electrical industry covered most of what Kurtis does, but on a much smaller scale and mostly now forgotten! I've now got my elderly father's tooling and Emco lathe in my garage. I must get back on the lathe and "turn up" a model 5" gauge live-steam locomotive I've been wanting to build for over 45 years! Hi to Homey and the magpies! My daughter now lives up the road in the city, so if I ever get invited over, I'll shout you guys some coffee, food and a quick visit! Thanks for such a fine channel of great engineering content. Cheers from Christchurch, David.

Yep. And close observation is priceless. I remember being asked to examine a piece of failed drill pipe (3 days to fish the lost assembly out of the hole- so about a half-million USD event cost) on the rig. Because as a geologist, I had the only microscope on board. Found a crack origination fracture - like Kurtis showed - in a die scar. The gripping dies shouldn't be applied there, but on the thicker tool joint. Which I then photographed, from lots of angles. User error by the drill crew, not a failure of the (rented) pipe. Which didn't please the drill crew, but the oil company (who paid my bill) were glad to get an answer. And to have a subject for their Sunday afternoon safety and efficiency crew discussion.

29:10 - I've solved this issue with my grounding clamp (much smaller, but pretty much the same "design and issue") by a piece of copper pipe. (It could be a thick-walled copper pipe used for plumbing or softer copper tubing as used in all sort of refrigerating/ cooling systems.) Flatten the end of the pipe/ tube, drill a hole for the screw, then get a length of a rubber hose (10 cm/ 4 in or longer) that would snugly fit onto the copper pipe (could be PVC hose too, but "stiffy, just right" rubber would be better in this application). Slide that hose over the grounding CABLE crimp well the core (the copper braid/ twist) in the pipe/ tube (a bit of soft solder would be beneficial too), and then slide the piece of hose back onto the pipe/tube and secure it there with a hose clamp (preferably, "screwless" type, "one ear") or heavy duty zip tie. (However, a piece of haywire or other soft steel wire would do.) The idea is to protect the cable from sharp bending (which leads to the "condition" we can see here), and the hose's job is to make sure the bend will go along wider radius - just at these rubber "sleeves" on power tools where the electric cable enters them.

GREAT..... now after watching the entire video and then coming to the comments, I had to re-watch the intro about 10 times and I STILL ONLY HEAR, "Hey young guys" instead of, "How you going guys" 🤣!!! Anyways, another awesome video to start my Friday off! I was REALLY HOPING for part 258 of the Franna Crane project, but theres always next week!! Cheers from Tulsa OK!

Does anyone else get a kick out of not understanding Curt's explanation, until the piece comes apart and you have an "ohhhh" moment?

You talked about somebody might been in there at 11:00. I have another resolution for the wonky pipe: With the broken outer tube, and the cylinder at it's outer length of travel, all the force would be held by the inner pipe. It probably got stretched. You had some of the resulting gap left at the break line. But the mechanics might have to put the cylinder in it's shortest configuration to get it out of the machine. So, they used something to press it together and the pipe got squeezed. Of course, it didn't shorten uniformly - it buckled.

You are a "WIZARD" Kurtis..... There is no doubt about that. Exceptional work , bending the center tube offset with the press was todays educational learning.

Good morning from Greece.

I love the way that the character of the cuttings changes as you machine through the chromed layer into the underlying (softer, more ductile) regular steel. Fine almost dust form the chrome, then shavings getting wider as the tool penetrates more into the tougher (but softer) body.

9:58 always giving your poor girl a fright. Lol

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The camera was surprisingly stable, though. I was expecting a lot more shake.

[@SuperfluousIndividual]

10:20 I love that I can confidently say that everyone watching this video shared the same confused look and same inner confused noises as Kurtis did when that rod got pulled out 🤣🤣

[@danielcarter305]

The inner tube looks like it belongs on playground equipment. 😄😄

[@davidcooke8825]

I swear to god, Kurtis, you are bloody amazing!

Hi Kurtis, In my opinion your business comprise 10% Science & Engineering and 90% Creative Art Studio.
