Thanks for doing the Riser Block John, it's a tremendous help. It was surreal to watch a job for me taking shape in the famous DB workshop! Best wishes, Dean.

[@BrianEltherington]

What are these going into? Looks kind of big for a scooter.

[@BrianEltherington]

@@retromechanicalengineer Brilliant! Subscribed and hoping for a video on the mill. Are the bearing shells also for you?

[@retromechanicalengineer]

@@BrianEltherington thanks Brian, no the shells aren't mine. There will probably be a video on the mill, I'll be fitting a DRO at some point too.

Love the diesel heater. Its a life saver this time of year

[@jeff1176]

Always a pleasure to watch you work John. The scabby twat comment was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

My brothers mill riser block, Dean from Retromeccanica.

Amazing the strength in Silver Solder John .

[@andrewthick185]

Dear John, As usual informative and had me laughing out loud when you were trying to re-light the torch. I am a small scale engineer but know the moment of scrabbling about when the torch is gone and the matches are nowhere to be bloody found. All sorts of language follows.

[@ianlulham]

Still having a chuckle, your restraint is incredible.

[@bostedtap8399]

New table working well John. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobdixon6060]

Great vlogs John, enjoyed watching them. Stay well.

Nice job on the riser block

[@robertoswalt319]

It looks like you earned your pay soldering those rings.

[@jasonneedham6734]

Hot John.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NottinghamshireNick]

Hi John, I have the Warco version of the VMC mill and have long wanted to build a riser block as there is limited Z height. Would you be willing to share the drawing for the riser block you’ve made please? Thanks for sharing your content. Cheers, Nick

[@johnrudd9550]

Nick, you probably find that there are slight differences between the various VMC/Chester626 mills and other brands such that one drawing isn’t a one size fits all…When I made mine (a 626 the same as Johns…) I had to dismantle my mill to get the right sizes…even though I joined the yahoo group at the time it existed and a drawing was available…the dimensions on the drawing were different…

[@doubleboost]

email me

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Nick, there are some quality variations from the factory but as long as you plug your numbers in, it should be fine. Due to a low workshop ceiling, I drew it shorter than the one on John's mill. John, please feel free to share my drawing if it helps. Kindest regards, Dean.

[@NottinghamshireNick]

Many thanks for your replies, will drop you an email John, and thank you retromechanicalengineer for allowing John to share.

[@carlwilson1772]

You never know. He might even follow my brother's drawing when he makes yours.

[@benno25132475]

What material did you use for the riser just asked steel merchant and he’s trying to sell me some AISI 4140

[@doubleboost]

Not sure what it was came out of a skip Magnetic and machined well . I Don't think ir would matter what you used to be honest

[@seamusbolton215]

Probably kick my self for asking this question, but why not just use longer bolts ? I assume there are rounded T slots under the block at the top of the mill column similar to the base of a swivel vice ?

[@retromechanicalengineer]

No, the only slots are in the base. The head just has a register and three holes. It wouldn't be practical to have through bolts. I copied John's design and included dimensions from my machine. They are probably made in the same factory but all seem to be prone to quality variations. I couldn't quite get the height that John used as my workshop roof is quite low.

[@FrontSideBus]

Didn't you have a horizontal mill at one stage? What happened to that btw?

[@65cj55]

It's at his friends Micks Workshop.

[@marycullen3556]

Is they a reason why you keep all your equipment and benchs it such a poor state ?

[@SloopyJohnG]

Perhaps because it's a place where things get done, rather than looked at. Done by a chap who doesn't have some manager looking over his shoulder.

[@ianlulham]

I don't think John comes from the States rich nor poor

[@Mexmanix]

@@SloopyJohnG There's also an old adage... if you want a job doing correctly (Typing for example) give it to the typist with a full desk; work that one out... same goes for benches in workshops.🤔

[@ianjefferson6687]

You should purchase one of John's "BELLEND" T slot cleaners. I think it would suit you well

[@65cj55]

@@ianjefferson6687 Lol, excellent comment.

[@jdmccorful]

Nice work! Enjoyed watching.
