Wray loves to build things for his tools. He must have a place for everything. So in this video Wray talks about our other volunteer Jim who comes up a few times a week. Wray asked Jim to fabricate a stand for his 2 handheld planishing hammers and all the dies. Of course it also needs casters, as everything in this shop is on wheels. We hope you enjoy it!

hi it's ray from pro Schaefer and
0:10
chompin mass today I just wanted to show
0:13
you this nice new planning hammer
0:15
storage rack that we made so I have more
0:20
than one volunteer I have another
0:22
volunteer Jim who's seventy-four he
0:25
comes from Connecticut drives an hour
0:27
from Connecticut that's come volunteer
0:29
about three times a week gets him out of
0:32
the house always looking for more
0:34
volunteers hint hint and I came up with
0:38
the idea I actually drew this up and I
0:42
had an idea what I wanted and how it
0:45
comes about how it came about was this
0:48
metal here I have a friend whose I
0:51
called the metal scrounger that's Mike
0:53
and Mike comes periodically to the shop
0:56
and he's got a little Toyota pickup
0:58
truck and it's loaded with all kinds of
1:01
metal and he's on his way to the
1:03
scrapyard with the metal so he says I'll
1:07
give you first dibs on it and he gives
1:09
me really good prices you know scrap
1:11
prices or so sometimes he gives me stuff
1:13
too
1:13
so he had this metal and I hemmed and
1:17
hawed on and I think I got quite a bit
1:19
of it they already had these nice
1:20
90-degree bends in it I do have a JD
1:23
squid bender and I could bend it it was
1:26
it was powder coated this red and I says
1:29
that I don't I don't see a use for that
1:31
I don't know but then I said I'll be
1:34
kicking myself if I if I don't say yes
1:36
and buy and I think it was 50 bucks or
1:39
he had a whole bunch of it
1:40
so first use of it was I had this nice
1:45
Chicago pneumatic planishing hammer and
1:49
this comes with a cast or forged small
1:54
throat and I had a situation where I
1:57
needed a deeper throat so I've made
1:59
these before out of thicker stock and
2:02
they get them really cumbersome and
2:03
heavy so I had to make this little
2:06
adapter for it in the lathe and then
2:09
this is the little adapter for the die
2:10
holder and the tubing turned out to work
2:15
perfect I think it's the inch and a
2:16
quarter OD it's got enough wall
2:19
thickness it's got enough strength
2:21
and I've made two of them so far and the
2:26
head swaps over pretty easy so I got
2:29
this one here this is a real cheap one
2:31
and this one I didn't trust the tubing
2:34
to be strong enough here where I was
2:36
making the backbone you u-shape here so
2:39
I had this one of my extended learning
2:44
students said made a cough rain here
2:47
using my JD squid and I had a under 180
2:50
degree dye and this must have been a
2:54
reject or something so instead of
2:55
junking it I picked it up I said well I
2:57
got a use for that and it turned out to
3:00
work perfect so that gives a lot more
3:04
strength there and this actually works
3:06
really good too so then I was I better
3:10
come up with a design for the tool
3:13
holders I have quite a few of the
3:14
different dyes and there's going to be
3:17
another shelf down here and this we use
3:20
some angle iron to make the base and
3:22
that's got to be painted yet Jim I think
3:25
we'll be in tomorrow and get the other
3:27
shelf and it'll be just about completed
3:29
maybe with a little painting so I drew
3:33
it up for Jim and then he started
3:38
executing cutting the metal and
3:39
everything and somehow it got twisted I
3:43
think it was my fault these hoops here
3:46
were supposed to go this way and somehow
3:50
they went this way instead there was one
3:54
here and I says well serendipity that'll
3:58
work out perfect so I had this metal
4:01
this is all from also from Mike this is
4:03
like 18 gauge with white powder coating
4:08
on it and we had to size it and Bend up
4:12
one of the other legs here this leg was
4:14
here and the the bends were on here was
4:16
perfect other than the length there so
4:19
Jim plotted out where all the holes had
4:23
to be punched all the holes bent it up
4:26
and now we got it bolted together and we
4:29
got that in here this hoop that was over
4:31
here we chopped that off and
4:35
gives you better access so these will be
4:37
the the most used dyes will be up here
4:40
and I thought it's a nice nice little
4:43
piece and it's actually on rollers that
4:46
we found on Craigslist and these we
4:48
bought like I think was about 50 of
4:50
these rollers and they were kind of
4:54
rusty and I believe they came off of
4:57
shopping carts and in the Craigslist ad
5:01
they were in a wheelbarrow full of water
5:05
50 of these casters and I saw hope there
5:09
especially for 50 bucks so they're a
5:11
dollar apiece so if you buy cast as you
5:14
know that those are about 25 dollars a
5:15
piece for high quality cast or I think
5:18
the u.s. casters so mock lives in Rhode
5:22
Island and the ad was in Rhode Island so
5:25
he picked them up for me and we put him
5:28
in the rust 911 a chelation rust remover
5:31
and they come out like brand-new so the
5:34
thing rolls around really nice and it'll
5:37
be a welcome addition to the shop Jim
5:39
did a pretty decent shop job and putting
5:41
it all together and I think that some
5:45
other shops might benefit from having
5:47
something like this I figured I'd show
5:50
it well thanks for watching it's
