Take a brake part 2.

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hello Michele. Fantastic progress thanks to your ingenuity and skill with the welder. Those rollers you made have certainly proven their value. You show that with care and patience, even the most damaged part can be repaired. Good luck with the conclusion. 👏👏👍😀

[@Rustinox]

Just go for it.

[@foxwhiskey]

Hi Michele. Nice work. Thx a lot for showing (part 2). Regards

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@mftmachining]

Very good job so far, Michel. Looking forward for the next episode the coming week. Regards.

[@Rustinox]

In just a few days...

[@allenhunt3070]

Michele, nice job modifying the axle and the hub. Love your positivity and humor! Looking forward to the rest of this project.

[@Rustinox]

Next week Allen :)

[@nobbysworkshop]

I like the way you tackle every job Michel. Always with good humour and optimism. Looking forward to part 3. Cheers Nobby

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Nobby.

[@leerogers6423]

We all love to do those freehand off the top of the head projects ,but what sorts the men from the boys is a job that must fit an existing precision component. You aced it , my hat is raised to you once again. And of course wishing you and yours a happy Easter .

[@Rustinox]

Indeed, in this project screw up is not an option.

[@Preso58]

Nice job on the weld build up Michel. Next stop, Le Mans.

[@Rustinox]

Or better Spa-Francorchamps. It's only 45min. from here :)

[@alanremington8500]

That is looking really nice..., and nice of you !! Thanks.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@HaxbyShed]

Really liked that one. Nice even pace with lots of practical information. Nice rollers. Envious of your welding bench but I'm limited for space. I used to be nervous of picking up a thread but I would not worry about it now. Cheers

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Paul. Picking up a thread is easier than it looks. It works really well.

[@markanderson5342]

Great work! Love watching your videos!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

9.08 "I think it will be better, ...if its better." Thanks, I learn heaps, and get to have a laugh.

[@Rustinox]

Nice. Thanks.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Michel ☺ happy easter to you and your's, progress is good, and very interesting, and the next episode will show more of your skills in cutting keyways, and the setup it takes to do that. Thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Stuart.

[@djhscorp]

Nice one Michele👍

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

As always, an educating and inspiring video. Impressive buildup to make the axle longer. My drone cameras do the same as Your camera. They don't start recording by themselves and once ran out of disc space as I had not e tied the card before f,ying.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Stefan.

[@Peter_Nottle]

you have mastered the art of "wait for next weeks instalment of..." well done my friend ❤

[@Rustinox]

Cliffhanger :)

[@Peter_Nottle]

my breath is suitably baited 😉@@Rustinox

[@eyuptony]

Looking good so far Rustinox. Cheers Tony

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Tony.

[@MyLilMule]

Nice machining job, Michel. Well done!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@624Dudley]

Happy Easter, Rusti! See you next week. 👍

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@neilgarrad4931]

Thanks

[@Rustinox]

You're welcome.

[@SgtCude59]

Hi, another great video . Its great to see another company getting rid of plastic.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. You're right.

[@thehobbymachinistnz]

Good fix on the weld build up and thread cutting Michel. Its a shame the memory card was full though.

[@Rustinox]

Well, it happens... :)

[@davidberlanny3308]

Hi Michel, Well now we know why you made those rollers!! Great bit of welding to extend the shaft length, well done. Look forward to seeing how you approach the keyway cutting on the shaper. Have a great Easter!!

[@Rustinox]

Well, I still have to do it.

[@richardreis6248]

Michele great work interesting repair. Just a comment on the pre heat, as a long time welder, my understanding for pre heat are; distortion control the higher the differential in temp the greater the effect of upset (expansion in a localised area constrained by the colder area of the part). larger parts will chill the weld quickly causing cold laps and in some cases cracking.

[@Rustinox]

There are indeed multiple reasons for pre-heating. Condensation is one of them. But, for example, also the depth of the weld penetration.

[@howder1951]

#1 comment? bonjour! Nice work Michel , enjoyed the build and looking forward to the finishing touches. Take care and cheers!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@glenncpw]

Hi Michele, something I learned a long time ago. For welding round objects - pair a copper wire and twist it around the victim and attach the earth clamp to the twisted wire - which gives many earth connections to the victim. Good onya

[@Rustinox]

Indeed, but the clamp I have works really well even while moving.

[@samrodian919]

A nice result Michel, the tapers came out perfectly. The welds looked no different from the parent metal after turning,so it's a good match! On the MIG wire cage, I think they are trying to make things sustainable, using steel as opposed to plastic and I for one applaud that. But they clearly haven't thought it out properly yet and they need to put a steel floor into the cage, so the wire isn't dented on the bottom rows . That would solve the problem. Cheers from the UK. Sam

[@Rustinox]

That makes sense.

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video rustinox

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Good work sir

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Rusty.

[@TedRoza]

G'day Rusty. Nice job doing pre stressed welding. Excellent job of welding & machining the Taper, etc, showing a very nice fit between drums & axles, & a very nice pick-up on the threads. Looking forward to the next Installment.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Ted.

[@douglashank8480]

Looking good. If you get a chance to see the car (some time in the future, when it's all put back together again), would you share some pics with us? Thanks again for sharing.

[@Rustinox]

I will ask the person to send me a picture. We'l see.

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

Coming along nicely, what happened to you Spinny Thing, it would have been perfect for welding them up. 👍

[@Rustinox]

The shaft is too long. It doesn't fit my welding rotator.

[@MyMiniHomeWorkshop]

@@RustinoxFair enough

[@stevemahrer7097]

Hi ‘Rusty”… My engineering background has me very concerned about home welding load bearing parts, like your car’s axles. MIG welding will generate a very different steel hardness / strength layer versus the original shaft. Thus, IMHO it may it crack or shear… 😳 While okay for a lawnmower, or pedal bicycle, on a 1500kg car it’s dangerous! You said the car is used for shows, and will not be driven much… but… IMHO-2, this is a bit like welding a gun, or other dangerous machine… Oops, and sorry is not a good thing to say after an incident… a wheel falls off and there’s a crash, or someone gets hurt. Love your channel, humour, and “let’s try it!” approach.

[@Rustinox]

You're absolutely right. That's the reason why I normally refuse this kind of jobs.

[@dougbriggs6797]

Another good video. I look forward to next week to see your creative solutions to interesting problems. I have a question on the rod stretching - do you weld from the center out or from the outer edge in (toward the middle) ? Finally, you have shown it is good to have a backup lathe for those really interesting problems. I need to keep that in mind. Cheers !

[@Rustinox]

You can live with one lathe... but two is better :)

[@mr.b2232]

👍😎

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@Workshopfriend]

Good outcome. I was wondering how you will mount the brake drums for slotting on your shaper. I just slotted some pulleys and diameter was a challenge. Will wait and see! Happy Easter.

[@Rustinox]

The drums will be in next video. But I still have to start on it.

[@dcraft1234]

Let's do the other one. Done! 😂

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@voodoochild1954]

Michele you have done a great job on those axles but I was just wondering since you were doing so much welding and turning why didn’t you shorten them so you didn’t need the spacers?

[@Rustinox]

That's indeed possible, but It's not my decision.

[@hedning003]

did i miss something in the last video?? Michelle..the drum is sitting further in on the axel- is it shallower than the original on on that Opel? otherwize it will touch the backplate of the drumdisk,where the cylinder and shoes are

[@Rustinox]

The central part is smaller than the original one. That's why the taper sticks out a bit.

[@hedning003]

@@Rustinox aah,i se..thz for explaining,and happy easter

[@craigtate5930]

Good going...can't wait to see next week's video....but I may not see it for almost a month....you'll see why in a few days ... What welding wire are you using? Anytime I weld with my Flux core machine I wind up being so hard

[@Rustinox]

SD1508 wire from Brown. No idea what it means but that's what it is.

[@cyclebuster]

Have you done a final evaluation on your new lathe yet?

[@Rustinox]

Not yet. I work with it as is for the moment. I take my time.

[@jdmccorful]

Lookin good Rusti! Thanks for the looksee. Always enjoy!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.
