Set Up Strip down end of month machining 😓😪

[@grumpyg9350]

Mr. Wilks, You can tell from your action that you were a good business owner. Most people sell their shop to reduce their stress, but you continue to treat your new job as if it was your company. Your problem solving and adaptation is wonderful. I hope you take care of yourself though, and not compromise soul. Wonderful video, I'm just amazed at the setup time involved. Your videos, I'm sure, don't characterize what it takes, or what is involved in doing the set ups. Most of you videos are like a little mini series, where you are always kicking the bad guys arse. Really enjoyed it....👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻

[@philhermetic]

There isn't enough money in Sheffield to pay what yer worth David, another great video! I have a mate who was in Precision in Leeds making Coles crane parts, and loom knife boxes, among many many other jobs, but the work dried up, and he is a joiner now, and a very good one too! He was convinced that the job you do and factories like yours, and the one you work in now, no longer existed. He was very pleased to say the least when I showed him your videos, and the "calibre" of work you do!

[@nottyash100]

Your an inspiration for your craft and the machines you use, Not sure what all the makes of your machines are but Maybe CRAVEN, D.S.G, etc Plus Lang and Herbert are some of the machines i used in my career,

[@richgage6510]

I honestly did not expect to see the core in a core. That was impressive. Hope you get double bubble for a Sunday seeing as it's either a dose of piss poor planning or urgent jobs? As always fantastic videos Dave. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

I used to get double bubble for a 12 hour Friday night shift and put 7 till 12 in on a Sunday morning. Loads of money (and loads of tax)

[@CXensation]

Remember that your body does'nt care about the dubble bubble. At some point you will need days of rest.

You are back to what you previously did, working alone in the shop. Good to see all the same, and I have been strugeling to single point cut a 5/8 unc LH thread in a nut all day.

[@hfdzl]

smooth and relaxing watching a top hand at work ! Cheers, Mate!

[@ChrisB257]

That seemed a heavy schedule Dave - all the set-ups as well - and for a Sunday too. A real chorus of sound from - well, at least two machines at times. Then - more of the infamous Inconel on Monday - tricky problems with tooling and all your extra work needed - like you needed all that hassle. Looked like success and that was different - trepanning a core! Stressful! You may have said in the past but - wonder how you make the wooden support piece that featured in the finish boring - particularly as presumably it needs to be pretty accurate for profile and dimensions. Some great footage.... quite an editing job too.

[@AmiPurple]

Just found your channel last week, been watching your videos, many thanks for putting them up, enjoy watching them. Hope your doing well.

[@mjk8710]

Hey Dave do get wet weather gear supplied for when it’s white raining on you 😂great video sir keep them coming 💯👍🏻🇬🇧

[@dazaspc]

You know your doing something right when the 316 cuts as easily as the cast iron. A shame about all those trepanning drills your boss sourced a while back. You have to have a strong suspicion they were left outside to rust because they were useless.

Do you finish these pieces out,or are they starting points for other shops? Love your stuff. I worked in a big shop in California in the 70's where they did a lot of similar stuff. Hadn't seen it since till I saw your spot. Thanks. Good memories for an old man.

Wow! How much radial depth of cut does the inner and outer insert take?

No pressure there Dave. Just how many lathes were you running on the Sunday work?
