You make such amazing content. You're just a bloke at home on his own, but your videos are better quality than entire teams who make commercial TV shows. 11/10 👌
Agreed!
This was the same I was thinking while watching it. All those "scientific" channels are nowhere compared to this video...
I totally second and third this - it is an audiovisual pleasure to watch your videos, thank you very much for the entertainment and for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
I'll upvote you on that too !! 😎👍☘🍺
Absolutely sensational video. Funny, informative, exceptional quality, I could go on.... Looking forward to seeing the next ones. 👍
That decal taping was some serious commitment!
The model
Shoulda put a "Delboy" on instead... 😂
Oh hello, nice to see you here
@@yak-machining God save us!! Not THE MODEL !!!!
@@tfarris1 👈 I have to get my Hair El gobierno. ZA 😘
Oh sweet goodness I've missed you
It’s good to have you back. Cant wait for more Land Rover
Seconded. His is good too, I know what’s coming with a land rover but don’t see inside many lathes etc
@@Cous1nJack agreed. But I love the angry man red screen that makes an appearance on the Land Rover series. As I have the same angry red screen happen in my projects.
I'm going to show my Canadian influence here, but I like the tool and Land Rover content.🇨🇦
Dude i have never been more excited about a KZhead notification. You’re my favorite creator on this app.
My wife: "what on earth are you watching?" Me: Ummmm, it's complicated...
**R O D N E Y**
Love, I could explain it to you, but you just don't have the glands to understand. Yes, I'm aware I've just defined why I'm happily still a Batchelor in one sentence.
Just say porn.
Your videos are the best. And even better is to enjoying them on a sunny Saturday morning like I am. Thanks and cheers from France!
👍🇫🇷
At last, good to see another Croker production.
Epic Doom music for an epic paint job !!!
I don't know how I missed the video, good to see Rodney back in action.
For future reference, if you need to extract a bearing shell just run a weld bead around it, the weld pull will shrink it by close to 1%.
Though I know nothing of machining, I've seen all your vids, and I must say I eagerly await any new ones. Especially the ones of the Myford. Compared to modern lathes it's just so beautiful. And your comments aren't boring. Thanks a lot.
Two years later I stumbled across this nicely edited and humorous video. What a wonderfull attachment. I have a friend who has a giant Orlikon Lathe with a milling head mounted to the carriage for the work he does, but it's a bit unwieldy for the home shop. However...the Rodney looks to be the perfect answer for the model engineer who has limited workshop space. And finally...great work, the decal painting alone was worth the the time spent watching. Cheers from New Hamshire USA
You get top marks for everything, decal, painting, restoration, and of course a great Video of it all. Well done my friend.
Even if I have watched most of your videos at least three or four times, I still get great enjoyment every time and a good laugh. They make me happy and in a good mood!
Absolutely loved the video. Extremely entertaining and informative. Your attention to detail is on point and your skill is next level. Beautiful paint work. I'm sure that Rodney didn't look as good when it was brand new. Great choice to add the sticker. Beautiful work and I look forward to your next video.
40 glorious minutes of some bloke fixing stuff I know next to nothing about. Thank you.
Great video Geoffrey! I love the entertaining content and your sense of humour! Best wishes from a retired toolmaker, from England, living in the UAE.
1:25 Uhoh, that’s not good, you have freed the spirit of Rodney!
At least there was no magic smoke to escape... 🙄 I'da put a bit of preload on the spindle bearings, just taking up the play wasn't enough in my book... just sayin.. 🤔
WEll ty so much for explaining the paint, im restoring / custom parts for my rockwell sander that was very old. I was trying to figure out how to get this stuff to flatten the way you did. tysm for showing this!!! It looks so beautiful!
What a fabulous restoration of the iconic Rodney, your videos are fun and entertaining, thanks for the upload :)
I was watching your videos the other night. The ball turning tool. I thought, hey I’ve seen this guys name before! I’ll check out more videos when I get a chance. The ball turning vid was great 👍
Geoffrey, fantastic video, thanks for sharing it with us. As usual you brought your A+ game to the table. It was fun to watch and a joy to follow along on the rebuild. Stay Safe & Cheers!
What a commitment to perfection, loved it and your equipment is beautiful and clean. Glad to see you were using rubber gloves with those chemicals. Thank you for the video.
Found myself wondering whether or not I liked your presentation style initially. Ended up loving it! The turning point was the outdoor spraypainting with hardcore soundtrack. Superb job on the Rodney. You are a real craftsman.
This was awesome, beautiful restoration with great sense of humor, always a pleasure to watch your vids! Thx!
My first time seeing one of these and I really do admire it. You did a wonderful restoration with excellent attention to detail. I subbed you.
I giggled every time he said "pun" instead of "pin". Crazy Kiwis.
Today, I have just picked up a 1950 Myford ML7 from Taumarunui. Your videos are my guide and inspiration. Thank you Geoffrey. Glad to see new content on the same day.
Cool! Email me if you need anything.
It's nice to be able to click on a channel's videos and know that the quality is always going to be top notch. This one is no exception. Keep on keepin' on.
Most beautifully celebrated! Better than any commercial content ever.
I was looking for info on the Myford Mini Miller and I found this. I had too keep watching - really appreciating the self deprecating humour and enthusiasm as well as the Can Do approach. Made my day. Subscribed on the spot.
Thanks Brendan
Great job. Your video was super funny, and I learned how to knock oput mushrooms pins in shafts. Great job. And that decal was a testiment to greatness.
I restore cars here in florida. Watched your entire video. Time consuming nightmares are my life.Felt nice knowing im not alone.good work ,take care. Beware of your government
I’m here for the first time and I'm literally mesmerized at the moment 😍😍 Rodney with myFord ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Man you made my day, this combination is absolutely a dream. thank youvery much for this beautiful work and filming 👍🏻🛠⭐️🍀 Of course Subs ✅
That is a pretty Rube Goldberg device. Very cool that you restored it, and took us along for the ride. Thanks.
Fantastic - so enjoyable, instructive and inspirational! thank you Geoff!
You make the best videos on KZhead lots of luv from the UK 🇬🇧
Glad to see you making new videos again! Still one of my favorite channels on KZhead. Regards, Silas
I’ve never subscribed to a channel so quickly…
Saturday morning, mug of tea and Rodney😂😂😂😯 Another brilliant video👍🍺
I rarely, if never use the word awesome, but that's the correct word to describe the skill and patience exhibited in this rebuild.
Made my day to see a new video. I think Geoff is the funniest guy on KZhead. I want to buy old lathes and land rovers even though I know I couldn’t fix them. Soo good
Thanks for sharing! Glad to see you're still above the ground.
This old Tony’s cousin from New Zealand. Very entertaining, informative and about classic machinery... Subscribed.
2am London, nice to see you again, now will watch vid ty
I want one. Great restoration.... Regards From Rodney in Manchester UK.
I AM that "One other person"! I have owned a Rodney for about twenty years. Rodney and his mate Myford Super Seven have been in storage for twelve years, sadly the storage was not exactly waterproof. The Myford did not fare too badly; the compound slide and quick-change toolpost were off the lathe, and are a bit of a mess, although fixable. Rodney did not come out as well, and will be a daunting task... Still, I know where to come for reference. :o) Many thanks for another enjoyable (and, for me, inspirational) video. P.S. Sorry, no literature. :o(
Exciting to see you back in business. I can hardly wait for that quick shot of the gear box to show up. Also more from the Range Rover rebuild please. I love your sense of humour.
This was amazing. I now have ‘Rodney’ being whispered stuck inside my head
What a crazy Kiwi! I just loved the video! Great production with real life challenges and mistakes that we all make. The difference is that your attention to detail and pursuit of perfection gets you back on track. That decal reproduction was amazing. Sound track is a welcome addition. I would love a Rodney for my ML7 but could be costly. Well done!
Complimenti !!! Restauro eccezionale, il tornio lo meritava, attrezzo meraviglioso 👏👏
Croker delivers again! What an unexpected treat and a great way to start the weekend.
That finished Rodney looked as if just came from the makers, cracking job.
Brilliant little setup
i have never before felt such an adrenaline rush while watching someone paint Great video as always!
Brilliant video. Thank you. Just rebuilding my Rodney.
A work of art in its entirety. SICK dude SICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was an amazing restoration. Your attention to detail and dry humour made this a very enjoyable watch. Thank you.
Bloody brilliant! Loved every minute of it!
This is way better than it was new. Insane. The attention to detail; especially the logo part, blew my brain. This was just insanely entertaining. Thanks for sharing this!
Oh my gawd, what a beauty...
Great presentation, with so much detail! Thanks from another Myford fan.
The doom music during the paint scene brings me great joy!
DUDE, that taping to precisely make that logo? was AMAZING. Thanks for that. V cool!
Awesome filming!
Masking the Rodney logo was almost as complicated as Binkey's roof.
10:45 you have to be the ONLY restoration video that applies bog AFTER primer. Well done, as even the great mymechanics makes this mistake...every...time. Looking great there, this is the first video i have seen of yours and am now a "all notifications" subscriber as i know good home handy work when i see it! Hello from across the ditch!
Nobody can accuse you of not putting effort into the project. Good result and great video. Thanks for sharing.
I have one of these, had it for approx forty years, I used it to machine a set of Clarkson milling table castings and then made it into a stand alone mill. I found it was far too heavy to lift onto the lathe in fact I damaged the lathe bed in doing so. Nice video. :)
That's an awesome attachment, I'm hoping to make up a similar thing for my old American lathe but mine will be independently driven via that boon the the home machinist, the treadmill motor.
Another quality resto from the Master. Well done Geoffrey all the best.
We just witnessed a masterclass with nice humour thrown in. Thank you.
Yes! Good to see you back!!!
My favourite KZheadr is back!!
you did a wonderful job. You’re probably increased its value tenfold
Very nice restoration. Couldn't agree more. Just find yourself a Clausing 8520 milling machine and you will have a machine that is capable of taking heavy cuts and doing real work without taking up much space in your shop. Ive owned full size milling machines that i used very little of its capability, the Clausing 8520-8530 is perfect for the home shop.
Page 77,000. Every one knows that page! Duh! Lol. Great humor. Sometimes you wonder who "numbers" or names things that have not corresponding match. First time watcher. Love the channel and work sir. Keep it up.
Amazing work, great video style as always. Thank you for sharing your passion
Watched this with my 2.5 year old daughter, she spent the better part of the evening whispering "Rodney" to me. Expecting some questions when I pick her up from daycare this afternoon. Definitely worth it.
Underrated channel. Love it Geoff🍺🍺
The Rodney whisper was killing me! 😂😂😂
nice work, one of your best videos!
Bro....I vote you for World president. Love your work.
Just FYI, welding a bead on the inside of that bearing shell would make it fall out once cooled down
Agreed, that's the way I remove valve seats from aluminum heads :)
I used a torch and a wet rag for years . Works great . You just have to get the heat on quickly and no spatter. Fought for many years before I learned this trick . Great video .
@@kisoia I to have used this method to great success, mig or stick either will do, just protect the rest from spatter.
Another welding technique which requires less weld metal (and associated heat and spatter) is to tack an offcut of flat bar or a parted off disk, washer or similar to bridge across the raceway, (use small electrodes if stick welding) and use that bridge to press the raceway out.
Yup, works every time for me.
Nice restoration, fantastic commentary.
Can't believe I missed your last video. Tapped that Bell hard. Tapped it good. Great videos. That music swell over the narration when you spotted the paint run...... Epic.
This was so satisfying to watch, and as for your little taper pin rant... just gold.
These videos are so comfy to watch.
One of the best produced, thought out and creative YT channels out there. The content is great, and your skills are easily amongst the best of the best. As always thanks for raising the bar.
The production was great.... SCREAMS and all.
Im not sure what i just watched, but it was outstanding
Thanks for this eagerly awited video. Your content and delivery are great!
Well done mate!
Beautiful little lathe man
Rodney looks happy where it belongs. Good job! 👍🏼
All those unnecessary video edits, jokes and gimmicks make this video UTTERLY AMAZING!! jolly good work lad
This video got me to subscribe! Great stuff mate
Another great video! Thanks Geoffrey! Cannot wait to see your progress on the Land Rover!
I think you made lot folk from Myfold very very happy restoring a Rodney
That quill is like the ultimate bicycle headset. 'Scuse me because I think in bicycles.
Wonderful, as ever Geoffrey, thank you for taking the considerable time and effort to do your brilliant videos! Wanted to make a joke about how it looked better without the Rodney logo, but the finished article really does look fantastic. More please!
