Power feed for the Z axis of the milling machine JimmysCanal 2022-08-31 | Adding power feed on the Z axis of the mill was first in the ‘must do’ projects for quite some time now. My hand was getting tired cranking the milling head up and down every time I needed to change a tool. I started looking at gear reduction motors; I wanted a compact motor with enough power and low rpm to handle the weight of the milling head... but anyway, you'll find out more as you watch the video.I hope you enjoy the videoDimitris (AKA Jimmy)A big thank you to my friend Kostas Kalleris for his excellent ideas, work and of course his patience. Without his help it would have been impossible to complete this project.Κωστή μου σε ευχαριστώ πολύ!
The Multifix Tool Post Adventure JimmysCanal 2021-09-04 | I recently invested a good bit of money on a Multifix tool post for my new lathe. I decided to make this video to help people set it up and install it on their lathes at home. However, I came across several issues as I went along and I feel it is important to share these with you and how I overcame them. I apologize in advance as this video is quite dense and detailed, but I think it is important. I hope you find it interesting and please comment if you have any questions.All the bestJimmyThe forum link for the Multifix tool post sizes table; scroll down to the center of the page to see itmig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/create-tool-multifix-unsure-what-size-i-need.92310A part from the tool catalog I have recently found about Multifix tool post sizeshttp://www.rotagriponline.com/datasheets/Vertex42/E81-E82.pdf

Drill Press restoration and upgrade part 5 - Quantum B160 T Vario JimmysCanal 2020-11-08 | This video series introduces various small projects in an effort to restore and improve a bench drill press. I had been working this project for almost two years; when finally I managed to finish it, my computer hard disk drive crashed. It was very frustrating for me because besides this project, a few more projects were lost as well. While I was trying to digest my mistake of not keeping backups, I decided to keep the hard disk hoping to find a way for recovering the data. Eventually 4 years later and with the help from a friend some of the footage and pictures from this project were recovered. Anyway, I did the best I could with editing to give you the best possible idea of this project with the pictures and videos I had. I hope you enjoy it.I said thank you to my friend Kostas many times for his help on this project, but I want to say it one more time. Thank you very much Kostas for your amazing work!! Jimmy

Τορνάκι Optimum D180x300 προς πώληση / Optimum D180x300 mini-lathe for sale JimmysCanal 2020-06-24 | Ίσως κάποιοι από εσάς να αναρωτηθούν για πιο λόγο το τορνάκι είναι προς πώληση. Ο λόγος είναι προφανής, δεν μπορεί πλέον να καλύψει τις ανάγκες του εργαστηρίου μου. Θα ήθελα έναν μεγάλο τόρνο, αλλά αυτό είναι αδύνατο γιατί το εργαστήριο είναι μικρό, οπότε προσανατολίζομαι σε τόρνο με μέγιστη διαμήκη κατεργασία όχι μεγαλύτερη από 500-600mm. Some of you may be wondering why the lathe is for sale. The reason is obvious; it can no longer meet the needs of my shop. I would like a large lathe, but this is impossible because the shop is small, so I am looking for a lathe with maximum center to center length 500 or 600mm.

Cleaning tool for the lathe spindle bore JimmysCanal 2018-12-21 | The cleaning tool for the spindle bore is one more tool I've copied from Toolsandmods.com. I can’t think something more efficient than this tool for cleaning the bore of a lathe spindle; I should have made it years ago instead of using paper towels or cotton rags. I hope that you find it useful, as I did.Merry Christmas and happy New Year!Best wishesJimmyHere is the link: http://www.toolsandmods.com/lathe/lathe-spindle-bore-cleaning-tool
Making a spindle adjustable stop and an extended lock nut for the mini lathe JimmysCanal 2018-11-04 | The adjustable stop was one more tool in my list of projects. I’m sure that most of you know the use of this tool. For those of you that don't, the purpose of the adjustable stop is to provide a repeatable position for the workpiece, or workpieces as well as to support the back of very thin parts while they are held in the three or four jaw chuck.As for the extended lock nut, it’s nothing more than a simple way of directing chips outside the spindle passing them through the change gear cover; so, no more chips in the gears and of course in the driving belts! Both adjustable stop and extended lock nut designs were copied from toolsandmods.com. Although the initial design of the adjustable stop remained the same (there is a reason for that), you will see that it shares features from another design found at Harold Hall's web pages; but this is explained in detail in the video.I'll hope you find this video interesting.All the bestJimmyLinkshttp://www.toolsandmods.comhttp://www.toolsandmods.com/library/ralph-pattersonAdjustable stop – extended lock nut: http://www.toolsandmods.co/docs/ralph_patterson_arbor_extension.pdf Spindle wrench: http://www.toolsandmods.com/lathe/mini-lathe-spindle-nuts-wrenchHarold Hall's web page http://www.homews.co.ukBack stop for the lathe: youtube.com/watch?v=Yye5J0LELgYhttp://www.homews.co.uk/page92.html

The smallest Dozuki saw - 90mm blade (from a 240mm busted teeth Dozuki blade) JimmysCanal 2018-05-17 | For quite some time now I'm using a 240mm Dozuki saw for all of my woodworking projects.The blade was changed a few years ago, because I busted the teeth while cutting a piece of wood without seen the nail that was in it. However I kept the old blade thinking that could be it useful. So as you will see in this video the blade is useful after all.I hope you enjoy the video.All the bestJimmy
Leather wrapped-stitched handle (upon request) JimmysCanal 2018-05-08 | In one of the comments in my previous video "Restoring and repurposing an old shoemaker's hammer" a viewer asked me if could been possible to make a video showing in detail how to wrapp and sew leather on a wooden handle.Note that, my experience on leather working is limited to less than basics. So I'm not trying to show some kind of expert knowledge with this video.All the bestJimmy
Restoring and repurposing an old shoemakers hammer JimmysCanal 2018-05-04 | I found this shoemaker’s hammer in one of the warehouses of a lead mine that has been closed over 40 years now. I had almost forgotten that I had it in my toolbox, so it was time to do something with it.The flat front face is ideal for creating a line texturing effect in soft metals (like brass, copper and silver) as well as for raising thin fillets or creating grooves. The rear domed end can be used for texturing mostly on small flat surfaces.I hope you enjoy the videoCheersJimmy
Copper spiral - Repoussé and chasing JimmysCanal 2018-03-04 | Repoussé is a metalworking technique which dates from Antiquity. We work on the reverse of the metal to form a raised design on the front. The metal is placed in a pan with melted pitch and after its cold it's ready to work with. The process takes a lot of time due to the repetition of a number of time-consuming stages. The last stage is reversing the metal and refining the design on the front of the work by sinking the metal, which is called chasing.For those of you who would like to know more about repoussé and chasing techniques follow this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repouss%C3%A9_and_chasingIf you would like to see more of my work, follow me on facebook or on Etsy. facebook.com/MyArtsandCraftsChest-1636727003257752etsy.com/shop/MyArtsandCraftsChestI hope you enjoy the videoJimmy
Making an embossing hammer JimmysCanal 2018-02-20 | For those of you that don't know, silversmith forging hammers are used: for embossing, raising, planishing, and texturing. These are actually the four main hammering methods.An embossing hammer is used to dome metal from the reverse side. The embossing hammer actually stretches the metal from the inside while supported on a sandbag, on a thick piece of lead or if we set it in a bowl with pitch.This type of hammer can also be used for texturing. It leaves small, medium or large dimples (depending on the size of the hammer faces) on the outside of a metal form while it supported against a stake or on the inside of a form if it's supported in a bowl with pitch. I hope you enjoy the videoCheersJimmyCalmax® steel: uddeholm.com/files/PB_Uddeholm_calmax_english.pdf
How to re-handle your hand drill JimmysCanal 2017-12-18 | This hand drill was given to me by a friend, which he had found in an old hardware store’s display. The drill was made in Poland by FPU and it’s the PWWc model. Although that was made in Europe by a company that was well known for the quality shoulder plate drills (PWWe 10 and 13), this seems to work like a children’s toy. I re-handled it as a new addition for my shop and since its small lightweight and controllable it can be very useful in jewelry making.My best wishes to all of youMerry Christmas and happy New Year!Jimmy

Lathe drive center part 1 JimmysCanal 2017-02-25 | Turning square pen blanks in a three jaw chuck it’s impossible.
