Thread: Unusual Thread Type?
30/08/2023 11:02:04

Here, you can find a lot of information about threads; "normal" as well as many "exotic" threads.:**LINK**
Includinng several forms of WW.

But unfortunately, I could not find the thread you are looking for, even there.sad

Hi Chris,
Congratulations with your new "toy"!

You can find a ton of information on the old website of Chris Heapy:
**LINK**
and navigate to "Workshop Techniques".

Unfortunately, the original website was canceled and the author disapeared.
But someone saved most of it, probably without the pictures.
Although the links are broken, it seems many of the pictures are now here:

Good luck and best regards from The Neterlands,

Thread: more youtube videos to watch
23/11/2014 12:45:40

smileyThere is also a very good series of instruction videos (over 300!) by “Tubalcain”, also known as “Mr. Pete” or “mrpete222”.
These videos can be found here: **LINK**
Highly recommended!

This “Tubalcain” from the US should not be confused with “Tubal Cain” (Tom Walshaw) from the UK who made many contributions in The Model Engineer. See: **LINK**

Hi Chris,

Probably the simplest clock for a beginner is a "Foliot-clock".

Up to now, it was the first and only clock I made.

Thread: emcomat 7 replacement parts
17/11/2012 00:22:53

Hi Darell,

I think, these are the pictures, Jason meant: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/8x18_Lathe/
go to "Photos", and then to the folder "Banjo Emcomat 7".
(first subscribe as member of that group)

In fact, I made that drawing of the quadrant/Banjo and uploaded those pictures,

If anybody is interested, I can provide the original drawing (in TurboCad) or a better resolution of the JPG.

Best regards from The Netherlands,

Gep

Thread: Convert cheap digital calliper to height gauge?

Hi Marcus,
 
Here, you can find a few pictures of the height gauge I made last year:
Cheap indeed: now and then these digital calipers are here in the shops for about 9 Euros. No Mitutoyo, but good enough for me!
 
Regards from The Netherlands and success with your conversion,

Thread: Keneddy hacksaw
22/01/2010 22:26:12
Dear all,
 
I am also a happy owner of such a small Kennedy power hacksaw.
But my machine has a V-belt.
(klick on picture for larger photo.)
And elsewhere on the Web, I found another specimen that uses a toothed (timer?) belt. See: http://www.lathes.co.uk/advertphoto/090822kennedy/
That page also contains, unfortunately bad quality, copies of a brochure plus the first page of the (maintenance) instructions. So probably, there has been a manual.
Unfortunately, I do not have any maintenance/operating instructions.
Although the operation and maintenance are straight forward, it would be nice to have my machine "complete".
Therefore my question:
Does anybody have the complete operating/maintenance instructions and can provide a scan?
Thanks in advance !
 
Furthermore, I added an automatic switch-off to my machine. Very convenient!
As this is at the back of the machine; you can not see it on the picture.
But, if anybody is interested, I can add an extra picture.
 
Best regards from The Netherlands,

Thread: Free Engineering courses
16/12/2009 23:01:27
Hi all,
A few more online engineering courses and related online "books":

A very good “book” on the Internet (HTML) from the site of Chris Heapy:

Notes on Workshop Techniques

This book is on "The Model Engineering Support Page"

Unfortunately, this very good site disappeared some time ago, but the good news is that this mirror still exists.

 

An old American book published in 1868:

A catechism of the steam engine in its various applications to mines, mills, steam navigation, railways, and agriculture
With practical instructions for the manufacture and management of engines of every class (PDF)

 

Another old American book, in 2 Parts, published 1887 - 1888.

Although the word “modern” is out of date, the old engravings are superb!

Modern Machine Shop Practice Vol. 1 (PDF)

Modern Machine Shop Practice Vol. 2 (PDF)

 The Virtual Machine Shop (HTML)

The Brazing Book Online (HTML)

 
Best regards from The Netherlands,
Gep

Hi Gep
 
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have no Dutch speaking friends but Keithmart has suggested that I try to find a translation service via Google. It can do no harm to try that...who knows, if the translation is not as good as it should be I might end up making a windmill instead of a clock!!
 
Keep posting the pictures of your clock as you progress with it. Is there any chance of putting a video of it running onto Youtube so we can see it working?
 
Regards, Martin.
 Hi Martin,
 
Sorry for the late response. This summer, I had a breakdown of my computer.
I bought a new one and was condemned to Windows Vista.
So it took sume time until (most of) my software was running again.
 
In the meantime, my foliot clock is fully functional.
Today, I edited and uploaded a short videoclip of this clock.
 
Furthermore, I did some research on the WEB and found that the drawings I used, may be based on one of the following books in English language:
and
 
Keep us informed when you indeed build one yourself!
 
Good luck and best regards,
Gep

Hi Martin,

 

Here, you can find a translation service:

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

For my work, I occasionally used this service (since a few month I am retired).

But be warned: do not expect really good results. But it is good enough to get an idea.

 

Regards from the country of windmills, wooden shoes, and tulips,

 

Gep

Home page: http://home.tiscali.nl/gepengler/index.html (should be updated; pictures are old!)

 

For the fun, I used this service to translate my original text above from English to Dutch and than back to English. The result is like English manuals of Chinese electronics:

 

Hello Martin, here, can find you vertaaldienst: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ for my work, now used I and then this service (since a couple month I have been withdrawn). But it is warned: expect really no good results. But get it is well enough an idea. Regard of the country of wind mills, wooden shoes, and tulips, Gep Homepage: http://home.tiscali.nl/gepengler/index.html (would have be updated; the pictures are old!)
