A tip for next time, when reassembling the motor (big one) those covers that go before bearings and bolt to main motor covers are easier to assemble if you put one threaded rod trough one hole than put a main(bigger) cover trough the hole where bolt goes, that way you don't have to keep holes aligned. 35 years of servicing and rewinding motors... Edit: 26:34 if a bearing goes on the shaft you press it on inner race of a bearing (never on the middle, where balls are), if a bearing goes in the cover of a motor in this case, always press it on outer race of a bearing

Another good video. My 2 cents on cold blue. - Caswell concentrate. 1 part caswell to 9 parts water or anything in-between to suit. - Thoroughly wash with water and degreaser, prior to using solvent of choice. - Soak parts in solution while lightly buffing with fine steel wool until desired results achieved. - Wipe and oil. While it's not as nice as hot blue, the results are very agreeable and consistent. Thanks for the video 🤙

4:55 What do you use to sharpen your drill bits?

All this time I thought your channel was called "Vancouver Customs" .. Just realized today it's your name "Vanover" .

2:00 This is very unique, I've not seen it done before. Franky I do not know if i would have thought of it myself! It seems very accurate! CNC engraving machines inscribe in this fashion, perhaps a inscribing tool meant for that would work too, and be less flexible ?

Thanks for showing a real job, not that your renovation jobs aren’t interesting but I’m a mercenary at heart.😊 I’d love to see a picture of the part(s) installed on the machine they were built for. Thank you again.

"I burned down a house...that's right, I burned down a house. " 😅😅 Fucking legend. Love your content and your earnest disposition.

The most in-depth video I have ever seen on all features thank you for your time

Why are you American guys so nationalistic? You say American made , grate machine , pay extra for it , and it’s all sloppy all around … I am from Europe and if is rubbish we just say that … I also bought a couples of starret tools , Pay import costs and realize they mitutoyo are 10 times better so just spend a fortune for mediocre tools.

That swing away motor mount is cool!

Just bought one just like it on marketplace for a hundy. needed love. attaching to main bench now.

I think all the hate, stems from pure jealously. You made the baddest welding table with the biggest nuts, on RUclips. They made, nothing. You are not the same.

You do a nice job! Why do you tell us 3 or 4 times what you’re going to do before you do it?

need to add a brass tipped grub screw to help with the galling.

I just want to say that your work method, and observations when tig welding, are nearly identical to whatvi dealt with when i started tig. Im self taught as well. So far, you're doing great in my opinion.

Would any carbide insert face the rotor smooth? Nice work

Nice work 👍 Drill a hole in the plug you welded in, the sky hook should slide in better, because the air can escape from the back

Great build,I've seen other RUclipsrs have these,glad you showed how sloppy the machining and fitment is, the others were probably sponsored.be interested in how they are built and maybe make my own.seems disappointing even the boom has play. like your problem solving and ability to make this much better.cant wait for the follow up.! good job!

Those sky hooks are crazy expensive. I can't help but think it wouldn't be all that hard to make one. Anything special about the guts of them?

I envy the fact that you get to do that type of work every day. Great video!

Great job Kyle! It looks so much better than the original and it's "made to measure" like a bespoke Saville Row London suit!. One question, if your 'dog bone' extends the arm length how are you going to accommodate the 'loss' of the chain length? If you add say 6" to the arm then the chain is 6" less on the lifting end, or is it just to lift a big chuck off and swing it around onto a lifting table that's the same height?

Great video as always, thank you for sharing your hard work.

I have a strong dislike for set screws. I make collars instead. And, I agree with a previous poster, here too, you can’t just modify lifting equipment. Yes, I admit it should be just fine. But each person in a shop is just as subject to accidents as any other person in a shop, whether it be a one person shop or a 100 person shop. Just something to keep in mind.

If possible would be nice to put your camera behind welding mask. That is blinding footage :D

We had a joke in the Marines, well any branch, where we ordered someone to bring a sky hook. Too bad they have them now. Jokes over. When I was in Iraq in 2003 I was sent on a mission to find our lost AM2 matting (field expedient tarmac and runway sheets). When I got back, one of the other Sergeants ordered a junior Marine to "get some flight line". I went with the junior Marine, got a 30k forklift and borrowed some AM2 matting from a buddy's shop. I had the junior Marine drive the matting back to the Sergeant that ordered him to get it. We laughed for hours after that, and still do when we get together!

I have the Skyhook with the brake like yours. The trick is to rest your hand on the wheel when releasing the brake to control the descent of the load.

Hi Kyle, I loved the video. Great mods to the sky hook! Just a question, I saw you using the suburban tools fly cutter and I've been on the fence to buy one myself but there's not much info available about how they perform on a Bridgeport. Maybe one day you could do a review? Thanks!

Not sure if it´s critical, but is welding safe for the camera sensor? Some on yt use these filters like in the mask on there lenses i would guess.

\m/

a used crane is cheaper than that crap, i guess that tells me all i need to know... i mean, how hard would it be to make your own?

Oh man. All the cool kids have sky hooks. 😀

Those sky hooks are so fucking slick. Cool vidya

I’m not a welder and have little experience with it- so please forgive my ignorance. I noticed when welding on the tubing cap at 29:21, you welded downward in the vertical position. But this could have easily been setup in the typical horizontal position- which I assume is a much easier weld to complete. Was there a specific reason why you went with vertical welds? Thanks!

Nice work Kyle. I really liked the good closeup machining video. Great closeups and video quality. Overall great concepts and applications for your Skyhook. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.👍👍💯

Great alterations, great video, this will be handy for each of the lathes. I do have one question, maybe I missed it somewhere. Why no lubrication port to keep it moving smoothly? Thanks for sharing.

And to think I always thought a Sky Hook was a mythical piece of equipment like a Bolt Stretcher to send the new guy after on his second day at work. 🤪 All joke’s aside, really enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work and Be Safe!

I just watched your 25 tools you love video from a while back. You briefly talked about camera equipment and I would be super interested in a video about camera’s and accessories you use and like and ones you don’t or has a bad experience with. :)

Nice work that fit wow

Here in the UK, if we modify lifting equipment, it would need total recertification to make sure that those modifications were suitable for the intended purpose. If that was not done and there was a subsequent accident, the HSE would have a field day. HSE being the Health and Safety Executive (OSHA equivalent). If they came and did an unannounced visit to a site and found equipment such as this in use, they'd probably put a Prohibition Notice on it until suitable documentation could be provided as to it being safe to use. There was a case of the HSE issuing a PN to a company, who then continued to use the equipment as it was. A person was killed a couple of days later in an accident directly as a result of the PN being ignored. I think the 2 directors of the company got 10 years jail time each, I couldn't find the case online as it was sometime ago, but I'll carry on looking.

Very nice gonna be super useful 👍👍👍

Very nice work. I love the air escape/slow descent at the 26:40 mark after the ‘expert’ wiggle.

Brake cleaner or degreaser? just curious. It is crazy how oil absorbent saw dust is btw like nuts.

This project reminds me so much of one I am doing or at least gathering parts to do right now!!! Long story short, I'm using a decent quality "Store Brand" 18 Volt cordless drill to power a portable drill press! ... I looked at those "Convert your pistol drill to a drill press" kits .. but they are not so great. SO plan to buy a use smaller bench type drill press, and convert it to cordless with the drill I have.

16:00 This new design is much superior, very good! ... As to the motor eventually going bad?? Think about it :) Milwaukee 12 volt tools are not as popular now .. If you keep your eyes open, I'd bet Credits to Navy Beans, you'll find a replacement spare 12 volt drill long before you need one! :)

13:52 10 X 0.8 = Metric "Extra Fine" threads :( ... Also made in M10 X 0.75 and M10 X 0.5

If you got it down to -50 .. that 120 degrees below room temperature .. for brass-bronze that's 0.003 " shrink

39:00 You should put set screws with Loctite to give the holes their strength back + make them so they won't rust over time.

31:46 PERFECT!! one time I had a job (I am also a Certified Millwright) .. drilling and taping, multiple holes in a paper mill .. exactly like this, on cast iron. and our goal ws for every hole we tapped, to go JUST like this! :)

31:00 The drilled and tapped holes will be handy to line bore it again, in 80 to 100 years ... once it's work out again! :)

With a weight scale, and magnifying glass, and temperature control it is possible to make measurements to within 10 thousands of an inch, with a flat style tape measure, even up to 20 feet in length.
