Your website is BROKEN if it’s not doing this

Most small business owners think their website’s job is to look good.

A website should do two things:
✔️ Collect leads
✔️ Make you money

If it’s not doing that, it’s broken.

If you’re a local service business owner and your website isn’t bringing in consistent leads, this is where to start.

Sterlingkit Model Steam Engine and Boiler Kit

I was contacted by Sterlingkit and asked if I wanted one of their steam engine kits, and of course I said “YES!” These kits are extremely well made and go together without a lot of difficulty for the average person. I ran into a couple of issues, but these were all my fault. The engine runs fantastically.

They gave me some links to share if you’re interested in getting one of these kits. Using the promo code below and you can save 15%.

Cutting a Helical Gear with the DRDRO and a Servo Driven Dividing Head

Cutting my first ever helical gear! But, failure is always an option. My first attempt was an utter disaster and it was nobody’s fault but my own. Using the wrong formula, not double checking my setup, and more, contributed to having to start over. But I was able to save it and it turned out great!

DIY DRO – Servo Mount for the Brown and Sharpe Dividing Head

Continuing on my DIY DRO build, I am ready to attach a servo to the freshly restored Brown and Sharpe dividing head. This will make gear cutting or just about anything a dividing head can be used for, much much more efficient.

Reassembling a Brown & Sharpe Universal Dividing Head

In this video I reassemble the Brown and Sharpe Universal Dividing Head that I tore down in the previous video. After a good cleaning and removing all the old, hardened grease, it’s time to put everything back together and get it working smoothly again.

I go step by step through the reassembly process, showing the parts, fit, and adjustments along the way.

If you enjoy old machine tools and restorations, check out my other videos on lathes, mills, and shapers here on the channel.

Tearing Down a Brown & Sharpe Universal Dividing Head

n this video I tear down a Brown & Sharpe Universal Dividing Head that’s been sitting for who knows how long. The inside was packed with old, dried-up grease and needed a good cleaning before I can move forward with restoring it.

This is the first step in getting it back to smooth working condition. I go through the full disassembly, show what I find inside, and share a few tips along the way.
