Its a beauty!
Comment from : ian macpherson

Great instructional material, sir Thanks!
Comment from : Holton 345

That's so cool! However, it suddenly hit me Have you tried casting with some potmetal That way probably plating finish would be cooler Just my thoughts

Another interesting video, I watched both but you will get extra credit for part one because a long day in the car wore me out and I had to replay it three times to get it all Shhh don't tell You Tube that they will credit you with three but I only saw it all once, grin

9:32 "did I spell guard wrong?" - yes, but we forgive you
Comment from : Peter JB

Thanks! You've clarified a few points for me

Happy 2020 new year mrpete I've had a small lathe & vertical mill since mid 1980's, but due to work priorities, I only ever got to use them occasionally for odd jobs Now I've retired, I'm improving my machine tool knowledge thanks to your excellent videos On this one; it's a great casting, but I'm left puzzled about what caused the poor finish (seen at 1400) on the 3/8" bore (reamed at 400) I''ve only ever cast lead, for model yacht weights, so never machined a casting, but I'm wondering if maybe the dross does't always float to the surface and could the molten aluminium have got internally contaminated with a piece of hard grit, perhaps from the sand, and got lodged on the reamer cutting edge?
Comment from : Allan Qurashi

My son has done some casting He made a bushing tool for bushing clock wheels Looks like the $1100 ones good video enjoyed, learned a few things
Comment from : Thomas Chandler

Nicely done, Sir I’m picking up my first lathe in a few weeks and have learned so much from you I can’t wait to make some of your projects Thanks again!

Comment from : Max Hammontree

Great video(both parts) I find polishing with an orbital sander and fine grit produces a nice finish while spinning it on the lathe, but loved the video
Comment from : Rob Crawford

Always amazed with your ingenuity MrPete
Comment from : Batch562

Wonderful InsightThankYou
Comment from : Robert Spickler

Really nice job! What about painting it to match the lathe?
Comment from : Rv4 Guy

Most Impressive, FYI , its " Guard" but you knew that, lol Isn't it a Crying shame that they don't teach Wood Shop or Metal Shop in HS anymore? brI still do Wood Working/ Metal Working and Welding to this Day I'm 68 with no plans to stop No wonder Kids today cant fix anything
Comment from : Mike McDonough

Mr Pete, while using a casting as pattern, you get close as eggs, but not identical If done repeatedly using the latest casting as pattern for the next, eventually the thermal shrinkage will show up in smaller casted parts Patterns are usually made slightly larger to account for thermal expansion of the molten metal, to get near net size result Interesting video, thank you, now I want to cast something!
Comment from : Peter C

This was enjoyable!!!
Comment from : Bobby Stanley

Enjoyed your video, as usual, I'm 71 years old retired engineer and I would like to tell you my high school shop teacher had the biggest impact on my life and career next to my father I didn't realize until I had my own sons, and sadly they did not get the opportunity for industrial arts in high school as I did I have made an effort to supplement the missing education they should of had
Comment from : David Schwartz

Thanks for showing the process to cast a hand wheel
Comment from : A TW

Excelente Boy ha ser un par de esas A ver como me quedan
Comment from : faustino martinez

that's just the coolest thing
Comment from : Bobby Vincent

Our kids today are missing out on such a great shop educationkids flock to my backyard to watch me forge, and fix bikesbut hardly have any time to teach them
Comment from : Charles Wright

Another informative casting video - just the kinds of casts I want to make Glad you addressed the difficulties with casting mild steel (cast iron), seemed liked a good way to go, but apparently lots of hurdles and heat Thankyou
Comment from : RelentlessHomesteading

Another great job I learn something new, with every video
Comment from : OLDMAN

fantastic video, love the ALORIS information as well, thank you Mr Pete!
Comment from : JBFromOZ

Nice job!!!
Comment from : robin gibson

did you ever work in a foundry pattern shop?
Comment from : trentonpass

Excellent video and I found it just in timeThe temperature here in Carolina just dropped to 30 degrees, it snowed, and I have a bunch of time off work You have inspired me to fire up my warm foundry and make a few of these brbrHave you ever poured copper? Is it difficult? I know it has a much higher melting temp than aluminum I want to make some copper fly wheels like your lead ones that I've seen
Comment from : joe bloe

Mr PetebrI'M about your age and a semi-retired surgeon With passing age comes the awareness of the importance of making objectsbrYour videos and those of other machinists have opened a new world to mebrHaving had many teachers over a long training caree,r made me recognise your outstanding teaching skill If it was unappreciated by school board administrators , the loss was theirsbrThank you for hours of enjoymentbrbrAFP Johannesburg

Good video, finish work gets a B Lol
Comment from : Lance Ladewig

I'd say you are still in your prime! Thank you so much for your splendid videos!
Comment from : Patrik Söderholm

Looks great
Comment from : 73 SUPERGLIDE

I just went out in my small shop and found two aluminum cast wheels just like yours Mine have been cleaned up/debured, but not drilled
Comment from : Chuck Small

Fascinating process but I was disappointed not to see the actual pour of molten metal!
Comment from : 777fuzzypeach

Just love watching your videos MrPete I thought you only did machining videos not anything on casting I actually stumbled across another channel svseeker that mentioned you did castings so here I am I probably will go check the other casting videos out today
Comment from : Phillip Jordan

Mr Love, my shop teacher, at J G Whittier Jr High school taught me how to drill and tap the hole for a handwheel crank handle just like yours That was in 1974 and I remember it like it was yesterday We also had a pot metal foundry and the 7th graders had a lead foundry that they used to make little lead soldiers Thank you and all shop teachers!
Comment from : Timpala

your videos are greatand your work is excellentkeep it up i watch them all the time brthanks
Comment from : Gursharan Mudan

Just a passing thought - Aluminum melts around 1100 degrees and that is HOT! Iron around 28002900 degrees I fully agree with you about not attempting iron unless you are in the 1 I set a crucible down on a 2x8 for a second (while melting aluminum) and the board burst into flames Also it's dangerous to melt over a concert floor, sand trap is much safer, should there be a spill
Comment from : Tom Herd

Great job! Plus it's not plastic :-)
Comment from : Tom Herd

Question - are you degassing your liquid aluminium just before pouring it? Those inside imperfections (air pockets, holes) may be eliminated by degassing
Comment from : Jerzyk

looks great A magnet would have been handy to pull the original molding out of the sand Love the videos keep them coming
Comment from : Robert Lunsford

Absolutely amazing work Total respect for you and your knowledge The OCD in me just wanted to climb through the internet and align the key way either with or at 180° from the handle
Comment from : Andre van Wyk

it is amazing that a sand cast can be so true that it even made a perfect copy of the flaking paint in the center hub
Comment from : Tom Swinney

did you ever see a Carr Lane catalog? they have cast iron handwheels from 4 to 8 inches with solid and spinner handles a lot more expensive but if you want to restore it to perfect they are worth it
Comment from : Richard Haisley

it can be done with out the capola the copular will help tho
Comment from : Nathan Dean

FYI: The guy who can cast iron at home would be in the FIRST percentile of DIYers After 35 yrs as a machinist/toolmaker, it's great to watch & listen to somebody who actually knows what he's about Thank you and keep it up !
Comment from : lebomm johnson

You are a superior teacher Mr Pete, I've been enjoying your videos since I discovered them a couple of weeks ago I've learned a LOT!
Comment from : Mr Ubiquitous

Awesome video watching a master craftsman at work Have learnt a lot, thank you
Comment from : terryc47

Excellent work!
Comment from : MattsMotorz

is brass hard to cast? your awesome by the way! thanks so much for all your wisdom
Comment from : Mark Shoff

wish i had you as a shop teacher , years ago,,love the detail you put in the videosbrtks
Comment from : christophe leblanc

I agree, it would have been nice to face up the centre, also polish the wheel edge to a bright finish, to go to all that trouble, that piece is deserving of a final touch
Comment from : Geoff Gwyther

Beautiful!! Great job, looks like it came out of a factory
Comment from : anthony diodati

nice handwheel!!!brgreat job!!!
Comment from : Ulma Doctor

Very interesting, much enjoyed
Comment from : Ted Burgess

You should try to teach the younger generation, this type if craftsmanship is disappearing Thanks for the video
Comment from : Mr Heineken

I enjoy that
Comment from : Joe Donohue

Really enjoying your series of videosmost educating
Comment from : MrAddisonroad

Hand wheel bore seems very rough, due to quality or material, dull reamer or … ?brDKD
Comment from : Darryl Dodge

Mr PbrbrFrom what I've seen on YouTube, the people casting iron have built burners that start on propane and switch to waste oil A hefty blower seems essential toobrbrA very nice job on that tailstock wheelbrbrEli D
Comment from : Eli Duttman

I have made keyway slots with a small hand file but doing it with a lathe is just another way of doing it and a good tip cause not everyone has a broaching set lying around
Comment from : Marcel Lucassen

It's a great job, really
Comment from : Holzschmiede Lezuch

Used your key way cutting method today and it turned out really nice Thanks again for the video
Comment from : ARW

I wish I had seen this before! :( You are a treasure of information, I'm enjoying your videos so much (I have a little Craftsman lathe) Greetings from Italy, Antonio
Comment from : elicottero

I'm so thankful people use youtube to make and post videos like these What a great channel
Comment from : colemanhill

Your reaming speed seemed very fast? interesting use of a lathe for slotting though! :)
Comment from : Shane Keaveney

I thought when casting you needed a vent hole?
Comment from : Gliden07

Another great job Mr Pete
Comment from : Jeffery Johnson

I very much enjoy this 2-part set, Mr Pete I am curious about the setup you used to drill the hole for the handle, you didn't show how you did that Keep them coming, Sir!
Comment from : Michael Kennedy

What an interesting coincidence I was just looking through a book that came with my Bridgeport on options and I seen the attachment that goes on the back Are those options for the back of the ram what make a mill a turret Mill?just asking because that term always confuses me As always another great video on casting I worked for four years at a piston foundry and I hand poured the military Humvee pistons in squeeze cast mold machines It was very interesting to say the least
Comment from : MrCarter824

Nice work, very interesting to see the process from start to finish Thanks for sharing

excellent
Comment from : 68sweetnovember

I enjoyed the video I would like to see more like it
Comment from : fall22123

In the closeup (at 14 minutes) it almost looks like the center hole has threads, that can't be right? You wouldn't make a keyway in a threaded hole I assume those are machine marks from boring the center hole?
Comment from : PuchMaxi

I wish I have had a teacher like You in high schoolI appreciate your effort for doing the stuff and teaching us Thank you very much from Europe!
Comment from : milivojekg

I saw once a guy make splines inside a machined piece of tool steel So really, lathe's are a lot more functional than the un-advised user gives them credit for
Comment from : aserta

Excellent set of videos Is it possible to see your mini foundry and how you heat the aluminium to get it molten? Thanks
Comment from : Will Ford

There are lots of ways of slotting on the lathe Some people disconnect the top-slide nut and operate it with a lever from the tailstock, others build slotting attachments I've done it using the quill on the BridgeportbrbrIron casting can be done at home in a crucible furnace, but an oil burner is needed and you better make sure your refractory is up to the temperatures required!

Comment from : Lindsay Bertram

Mr Pete, is the purpose of a half moon key to keep the key from working out?
Comment from : Myron Marcotte

Nice Looks good I generally have a couple large trashcans of aluminum parts Hmmmmwhat to make next?
Comment from : Bad Dog

Very good video set I really dislike the plastic wheels that come on some machines They feel as if they will break or fall apart while you're using it
