It just sorta seems like if he could make it LOOK brand new, it would be a good thing. Most customers don't appreciate something working well unless it also looks shiny. In a high-performance motorcycle shop where I worked for years, we'd spend just a few minutes with Windex and Pledge making the bikes look better on the way out than they did on the way in. Mad a good impression for a minimal investment of time. |

He said at the end that he doesn't do paint. It's going to another shop for that, which almost certainly means it's all going to get taken apart and later reassembled. -- Bob Nichols AT comcast.net I am "RNichols42" |

Oh. And this video series was an excellent example for the "plain bearing" thread. |

That was an interesting project. All sorts of different procedures. I can honestly say I've seen few people actually using a file correctly. Kudos to him for that. BUT, I thought "draw filing" was drawing it toward you. Most definitions online tell you to ruin your file by pushing and pulling it at 90 degrees to the work. That's fine one way but dulls it the other. What's youse guys' definition of draw filing? Despite the truth the neglecting the machine, I think Keith may regret saying that on the videos down the line. P.S: I'm waiting to see pieces of those silly beads and his beard caught in his chuck one of these days. -- Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. -- Franklin D.

Mad a good impression for a minimal investment of time. Same process in electronics repair. Make sure stuff leaves cleaner than when it arrived. Lots of windex and cleaning with short bristle paintbrushes. |
