Added 2021-10-02 17:38:36 +0000 UTCHey everyone! As is tradition, I post a new link to the shared Patreon drive here every month. On it you will find all the 3D models, mechanical drawings, and other documents used in my projects on the channel. Feel free to ask any questions about anything you find in there. The link is good for 30 days and I post a new one each month. Enjoy!

Using the pig inside and chucking from the outside is a lot easier than making a ring for the OD and chucking from within.

2021-10-19 15:19:50 +0000 UTCIs there a way to use your "Pig" as a mandrel or interior support in the chuck?

2021-10-19 14:10:58 +0000 UTCThat was my first thought as well.

2021-10-19 12:22:04 +0000 UTChi. time well spend. Why not just use the aluminium part inside the part and the 3 jaw chuck? that way it wont deform?

2021-10-17 16:09:53 +0000 UTCAh the joys of mismatched thread sizes, itβs 10 times worse in Australia, as we have to deal with metric tapered pipe threads that impersonate their imperial cousins. Air fittings are an absolute nightmare.

2021-10-16 21:38:27 +0000 UTCInteresting point...probably need to clean with acetone after Brasso.

2021-10-11 20:03:42 +0000 UTC"bigstackD casting" (one of many salvage and ingot casting youtubers) has a pretty good video on polishing non-ferrous metals, although he may not worry about thinning the workpiece. I do question the use of Brasso before clearcoating, as I believe Brasso leaves a protective film behind which may react with the clearcoat.

2021-10-11 12:19:50 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you didn't give up and now look at it. looks great. can't wait to see it all put together and working.

2021-10-11 00:39:48 +0000 UTCAhhhh, the joys of polishing brass π€£ Start at 220 grit and work up to at least 1200, get all the lines going in one direction and with the next grit up go in another direction. This allows you to see where you are going. You may need to go up and down the grits at the 600ish stage. When you get to 1200 use a bit of 0000 steel wool in a circular motion, then on to brasso π Love the look of that chimney π

2021-10-11 00:26:25 +0000 UTCHaha, "angry banding". I like that.
Blondihacks
2021-10-11 00:20:11 +0000 UTCAfter your latest Lens video I got curious and went looking for brass banding, because you're right, that is the sort of thing you'd think McMaster would have. After an incident with search autocomplete, now I'm really stuck on the idea of using bandsaw blades as a structural element, because they're basically just angry banding.

2021-10-10 23:59:02 +0000 UTCYep, it is for insulation, and that's what I'll be using it for as well. I did on my last boiler and it works well. Some people also put a layer of silicone or something underneath for addition insulation but the wood will be fine for me, I think
Blondihacks
2021-10-06 23:25:32 +0000 UTCIt'll be good seeing the boiler with mahogany lagging. You'll need to be a bit more accurate than the "typical" 1/16 in. for the wood though! I assume wood cladding was used originally for insulation?

2021-10-06 22:20:09 +0000 UTCRare bad things with extreme consequences require just as much attention as likely bad things that you just wish wouldn't happen. (Of course, likely bad things with extreme consequences should be eschewed entirely.)
