My much less dramatic version of this: I was driving down an alley and a guy pulled out of his garage in front of me with his briefcase on top of his trunk. I started honking and pointing, and he kept driving. I kept honking. He stopped, got out, and yelled "What?!? I'm going!!", just as pissed off as could be. I pointed again at his briefcase, he saw it, had this full body look of realization and embarassment, and then made a really extravagant bow/almost curtsy gesture and got back in his car with the briefcase. Suit and tie guy with really exaggerated body language, I'll always remember you.

TjyvTompa posted:This video is just full of cool details. I especially like how the first guy makes sure the workpiece is centered by whacking at it with a hammer. The second guy seems to have some kind of home-made tool to make sure it's centered instead. Really cool video. Seems to me like each guy is using only the precision required in each step going from cast to machined. Like at first a whack or two will do, or a MacGyver Sterrit gauge, and in later steps the micrometers come out. Nb most my lathe knowledge comes from watching Abom79, as one should. Also with that many logs it really should have been stable, one might have thought.

I'm curious what sort of engine they're building those crankshafts for. Obviously it's an inline triple, but it seems too large for a car engine in that part of the world. Small tractor? Stationary agricultural motor? E: I went and read the comments and apparently it's for some sort of stationary generator motor, yeah. Also there's a super smug guy saying "I worked at Ford on the crankshaft production line for 20 years and we did a much better job than this, this is like American car companies in the 1930s" no poo poo huh

I assume you mean 26 minutes, because at 29 they are cutting a keyway. At 26 minutes in it looks like they are shot peening the crankshafts. That process knocks off all the cast rough edges like sandblasting, and also hardens the the surface of the metal through work hardening.

Haha I thought they were depositing coating material and was having a hell of a time figuring out why they would be grinding it off the bearings in the next steps. What's that cabinet made of anyway? Something that can withstand what's tough enough to blast steel off of steel?

My family had two of these from the long long ago. We finally ended up donating them to a small local fire dept museum. Still fun to go look at from time to time. I cant find w pic that really looks the same, but the two we had were in these little frames that would activate a little spring hammer to break the glass automatically, and could be hung above a boiler or something.

I also appreciate how they kept putting fingers/gloves/equipment near/in heavy spinning equipment. It's a miracle what throughput can be achieved if you view people as disposable! Some segments were sped up though, so it may have been less dangerous than it looked. Not a fan of all those flywheels and belts in the walkways though. Also step 3 was unfortunately precisely what I thought it would be. Karate Bastard fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Sep 25, 2021 |

Probably just thin sheet steel, so long as the walls have a bit of bounce in them they'll just absorb shot impacts without denting or spalling.

That video is even more terrifying if you've seen the other part of it where he is assembling the ladder. He hammers a wedge into a hole in the bricks, and then ties a rung of the ladder to the wedge, and he does that all the way to the top of the chimney. You can see them at various points when he's climbing. In this video, he's climbing and it looks like he's pulling out on the ladder, which makes me afraid he's going to pull the wedges out. Then he gets to the top and has to climb over those planks at the top.
